Reclassifications

Reclassifications:

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, salon marketing and advertising expenses that were presented within cost of service and general and administrative operating expense line items in prior filings were reclassified to site operating expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The reclassifications were made to better present how management of the Company views the respective salon marketing and advertising expenses. The prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on operating income or net income. The table below presents the impact of the reclassification to the three and six months ended December 31, 2011:

	For the Three Months Ended, December 31, 2011

In addition, expenses associated with our distribution centers were reclassified from Corporate to our North America reportable segment. The reclassifications were made to better present how management of the Company views the respective distribution centers expenses.  This reclassification had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  The table below presents the impact of the reclassification of general and administrative, rent, and depreciation and amortization expenses between the Company’s Corporate and North America reportable segments:

Stock-Based Employee Compensation

Stock-Based Employee Compensation:

During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company granted 118,062 restricted stock awards (RSAs), 195,663 restricted stock units (RSUs), 596,157 equity-based stock appreciation rights (SARs), and 199,041 performance share units (PSUs). The Company did not have significant grants for the three months ended December 31, 2012. All options granted relate to stock option plans that have been approved by the shareholders of the Company.

Total compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaled $1.5 and $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $3.3 and $4.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill:

As of the fiscal year 2012 annual impairment testing of goodwill, the estimated fair value of the Promenade salon concept and Hair Restoration Centers reporting units exceeded the carrying value by approximately 14.0 and 12.0 percent, respectively. The respective fair values of the Company’s remaining reporting units exceeded their carrying values by greater than 20.0 percent. While the Company has determined that the estimated fair value of Promenade is appropriate based on the historical level of revenue growth, operating income and cash flows, it is reasonably likely that Promenade may experience additional impairment in future periods. As previously disclosed, the Company has agreed to sell the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit in fiscal year 2013; however, until this reporting unit is sold, it is reasonably likely that there could be impairment of the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit’s goodwill in future periods. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit’s goodwill balance. The term “reasonably likely” refers to an occurrence that is more than remote but less than probable in the judgment of the Company. Because some of the inherent assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of each reporting unit are outside the control of management, changes in these underlying assumptions can adversely impact fair value. Potential impairment of a portion or all of the carrying value of goodwill for the Promenade salon concept and Hair Restoration Centers reporting units is dependent on many factors and cannot be predicted with certainty.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s estimated fair value, as determined by the sum of our reporting units’ fair value, reconciled to within a reasonable range of our market capitalization which included an assumed control premium. The Company concluded that there were no triggering events requiring the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test between the annual impairment testing and December 31, 2012.

A summary of the Company’s goodwill balance as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 by reporting unit is as follows:

Reporting Unit	As of December 31, 2012		As of June 30, 2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Regis	$	35,944	$	35,910
MasterCuts	4,652		4,652
SmartStyle	48,719		48,558
Supercuts	129,630		129,621
Promenade	244,525		243,538
Total	$	463,470	$	462,279

See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company’s goodwill balance.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment:

Historically, because of the Company’s large size and scale requirements it had been necessary for the Company to internally develop and support its own proprietary point-of-sale (POS) information system. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company identified a third party POS alternative. At June 30, 2011 and throughout fiscal year 2012, the Company reassessed and adjusted the remaining useful life of the Company’s internally developed POS software.  As of June 30, 2012, the internally developed POS information system was fully depreciated. Depreciation expense related to the internally developed POS information system totaled $7.0 million and $16.3 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company decided the previously identified third party POS alternative would only be utilized in United Kingdom. The Company reviewed the previously identified third party POS alternative capitalized software carrying value for impairment at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012. As a result of the Company’s long-lived asset impairment testing for this asset grouping in the United Kingdom, no impairment charges were recorded. There was no adjustment to the useful life as the Company expects to fully utilize the previously identified third party POS alternative in the United Kingdom salons. The Company is currently implementing another third party POS solution for salons in North America.
