4.                                     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

The fair value measurement guidance for financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by this guidance contains three levels as follows:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

 

·                                Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

·                                Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

 

·                                Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

 

·                                Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

 

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. The following tables sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

 

Derivative instruments.  The Company’s derivative instrument assets and liabilities historically have consisted of cash flow hedges represented by forward foreign currency contracts. The instruments are classified as Level 2 as the fair value is obtained using observable inputs available for similar liabilities in active markets at the measurement date that are reviewed by the Company. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Equity put option—Provalliance.  The Company’s merger of the European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31, 2008 contained an equity put (Provalliance Equity Put) and an equity call. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the share purchase agreement. On September 27, 2012 the share purchase agreement closed in which the Company sold its 46.7 percent equity interest in Provolliance. The fair value of the Provalliance Equity Put decreased to zero during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as it automatically terminated upon closing of the share purchase agreement.

 

Equity put and call options—Roosters.  The purchase agreement for the Company’s acquisition of a 60.0 percent ownership interest in Roosters MGC International LLC (Roosters) on July 1, 2011 contained an equity put (Roosters Equity Put) and an equity call (Roosters Equity Call). See further discussion within Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Roosters Equity Put and Roosters Equity Call are valued using binomial lattice models that incorporate assumptions including the business enterprise value at that date and future estimates of volatility and earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization multiples. The sensitivity of the underlying assumptions to the Roosters Equity Put and Roosters Equity Call is not material to the consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2012, the fair value of the Roosters Equity Put and Roosters Equity Call were $0.2 and $0.1 million, respectively, and are classified within noncurrent liabilities and other assets, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Financial Instruments.  In addition to the financial instruments listed above, the Company’s financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and debt.

 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximated the carrying values as of September 30, 2012 and 2011. At September 30, 2012, the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of debt were $298.5 and $280.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2011, the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of debt were $330.0 and $304.0 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was determined based on internal valuation models, which utilize quoted market prices and interest rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2).

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

We measure certain assets, including the Company’s equity method investments, tangible fixed assets and goodwill, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The fair values of our investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections.

 

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the €80 million share purchase agreement related to Provalliance. Other than the Company’s investment in Provalliance, there were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
