        Note 1 - Financial Statements
  
             The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed  financial 
             statements  have been prepared without audit  in  accordance 
             with  generally accepted accounting principles  for  interim 
             financial information and with the instructions to Form  10-
             QSB    of   the   Securities   and   Exchange    Commission.   
             Accordingly, they do not include all of the information  and 
             footnotes   required   by  generally   accepted   accounting 
             principles  for  complete  financial  statements.   In   the 
             opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal 
             recurring   accruals)  considered  necessary  for   a   fair 
             presentation have been included.  Operating results for  the 
             three  month  period  ended  September  30,  1995  are   not 
             necessarily  indicative of the results that may be  expected 
             for the year ending June 30, 1996.  For further information, 
             refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
             as of June 30, 1995 included in the Company's Annual  Report 
             on Form 10-KSB for the Company's fiscal year then ended. 
  
  
  
    Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
             Financial Condition and Results of Operations
  
             Three Months Ended September 30, 1995
  
             Liquidity and Capital Resources:
  
             Cash  and  cash equivalents were $778,453 at  September  30, 
             1995,  as  compared  to  $296,718  at  September  30,  1994.  
             Additionally,  at  September  30,  1995,  the  Company   had 
             $266,411  of marketable securities, as compared to  $868,726 
             at  September 30, 1994.  The Company had a current ratio  of 
             2.07 at September 30, 1995, as compared to 2.11 at June  30, 
             1995, and 2.47 at September 30, 1994. 
  
             At September 30, 1995, commitments for capital  expenditures 
             and  other  investments  did  not  exceed  $200,000,   which 
             commitments were for acquisition or construction of  salons, 
             salon  refurbishing,  and other  investments.   The  Company 
             believes  its  working capital is adequate  to  support  its 
             operations for at least the next twelve months. 
  
  
             Results of Operations:
  
             Revenues from Company-owned hair salon operations  decreased 
             by  .9% ($24,214) in the three month period ended  September 
             30,  1995. Comparable store sales operating throughout  each 
             of the three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 
             declined  by 5.3%. As of September 30, 1995, there  were  51 
             Company-owned salons, compared to 51 at September 30,  1994.  
  
             During the three month period ended September 30, 1995,  the 
             Company  acquired  one  salon from a  licensee,  opened  two 
             salons, and closed five salons. Management will continue  to 
             close  existing  salons  that  do not  meet  its  cash  flow 
             criteria. 
  
             Direct costs of Company-owned hair care salons decreased  by 
             .1%  ($2,526) in the three month period ended September  30, 
             1995, as compared to the same period in 1994.    Advertising 
             and occupancy costs increased as a percent of sales in  1995 
             as compared to the same period last year.  
  
             Sales  of equipment and products declined by $2,153  in  the 
             three  month period ended September 30, 1995 as compared  to 
             the same period in 1994.  Correspondingly, cost of equipment 
             and  products  sold  declined by  $10,767  reflecting  lower  
             margins.   The  decrease  in sales is due  in  part  to  the 
             decreased number of franchised salons. 
  
  
             Consolidated  royalties and service fees increased  by  2.5% 
             ($15,678)  in  the three month period  ended  September  30, 
             1995, as compared to the same period in 1994.  The  increase 
             is  due  to  the recording  of  royalties  from  franchisees 
             previously  deemed  uncollectible.   The  Company  does  not 
             expect  this  trend to continue.  The number of  hair  salon 
             franchised  outlets  at  September  30,  1995  was  299,  as 
             compared to 319 at September 30, 1994. 
  
             Franchise  fee  income increased in the three  month  period 
             ended September 30, 1995 by $19,371 as compared to the  same 
             period in 1994.  Franchise fee income increased because  the 
             Company recorded a franchise fee from the opening of a salon 
             by a new licensee. 
  
             The number of franchised salons has been steadily decreasing 
             for   several  years  and  management  believes  that   such 
             decreases  will continue for the foreseeable future.  It  is 
             likely  that  the downward trend in franchise  revenues  and 
             revenues from sales of equipment and products will  continue 
             for as long as the downward trend in the number of franchise 
             salons  continues, despite the increases in the three  month 
             period ended September 30, 1995. 
  
             Inflation has not materially affected the Company's revenues 
             and income during the past two fiscal years. 
  
             Interest and dividend income in the three month period ended 
             September  30, 1995 decreased by $6,534 due to a decline  in 
             the  amount  of  invested  assets.  
  
             Selling,  general, and administrative expenses decreased  by 
             5.8% ($45,277) in the three month period ended September 30, 
             1995, as compared to the same period in 1994.  The  decrease 
             in 1995 is due in part to lower payroll costs. 
  
             The  effective  income tax benefit was 25.1%  in  the  three 
             month period ended September 30, 1994.  In 1995 the  Company 
             was not able to utilize for federal income tax purposes  its 
             operating  losses.   Additionally, since the  Company  files 
             separate   subsidiary  state  income  tax  returns,   versus 
             consolidated  returns,  it was not able  to  offset  certain 
             subsidiary  losses  against other subsidiary income  in  the 
             1995 and 1994 periods.
