    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 
             nine  and three month periods ended March 31, 1996  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 finan-
             cial statements and footnote 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
  
             Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996
  
  
    Liquidity and Capital Resources:
  
             Cash and cash equivalents were $1,017,252 at March 31, 1996, 
             as    compared    to   $679,611   at   March    31,    1995.      
             Additionally, at March 31, 1996, the Company had $269,962 of 
             marketable  securities,  as compared to  $461,167  at  March    
             31, 1995.  The Company had a current ratio of 2.01 at  March 
             31, 1996, as compared to 2.11 at June 30, 1995, and 2.17  at 
             March 31, 1995. 
  
             At March 31, 1996, 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  9.8% ($779,000) and 18.0% ($483,000),  respectively,  in 
             the  nine  and  three month periods ended  March  31,  1996. 
             Comparable store sales operating throughout each of the nine 
             and  three  month  periods ended March  31,  1996  and  1995 
             declined  by 4.8% and 4.9%, respectively.  As of  March  31, 
             1996, there were 43 Company-owned salons, compared to 53  at 
             March 31, 1995.  During the nine month period ended    March 
             31,  1996, the Company acquired one salon from  a  licensee, 
             opened  four  salons, sold three salons  and  closed  twelve 
             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 
             10.6% ($802,000) and 18.7% ($466,000), respectively, in  the 
             nine  and  three  month periods ended  March  31,  1996,  as 
             compared to the same periods in 1995.   Payroll, advertising 
             and promotion and occupancy costs increased as a percent  of 
             sales  in  1996 as compared to the same periods  last  year. 
  
             Sales  of  equipment and products increased by  $15,199  and 
             $15,747,  respectively, in the nine and three month  periods 
             ended  March  31, 1996 as compared to the  same  periods  in 
             1995.  Correspondingly, cost of equipment and products  sold 
             increased  by $28,226 and $6,873,  respectively,  reflecting
             lower  margins year to date. 
  
             Consolidated  royalties and service fees decreased by  12.8% 
             ($211,000)  and 19.2% ($93,000), respectively, in  the  nine 
             and three month periods ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 
             the same periods in 1995.  The decreases are due to a  lower 
  
  
                                      -8-



             average number of franchised units operating and a  decrease 
             in  comparable store sales. The Company expects the  decline 
             in  royalties  to  continue.   The  number  of  hair   salon 
             franchised outlets at March 31, 1996 was 301, as compared to 
             305 at March 31, 1995. 
  
             Franchise  fee income increased in the nine and three  month 
             periods  ended  March  31,  1996  by  $27,951  and   $4,555, 
             respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995.  
  
             Franchise  fee  income for the nine month  period  increased 
             primarily due to  the recording of a franchise fee from  the 
             opening  of  a  salon by a  new  licensee.   Franchise  fees 
             related  to the New Area Development Program will  begin  to 
             decline as the note payments cease at varying maturities. 
  
             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 related revenues  
             will  continue  for  as long as the downward  trend  in  the 
             number  of  franchised salons continues. Inflation  has  not 
             materially affected the Company's revenues and income during 
             the past two fiscal years. 
  
             Interest  and  dividend income in the nine and  three  month 
             periods  ended  March  31, 1996  decreased  by  $18,898  and 
             $2,529,  respectively,  due to a decline in  the  amount  of 
             invested assets and interest rates. 
  
             Selling,  general, and administrative expenses decreased  by 
             13.5% ($313,000) and 23.0% ($178,000), respectively, in  the 
             nine  and  three  month periods ended  March  31,  1996,  as 
             compared to the same periods in 1995.  The decreases in 1996 
             are  due  primarily  to  lower  general  and  administrative 
             payroll  costs which are anticipated to continue  throughout 
             the current fiscal year. 
  
             The effective income tax benefit was 4.1% in the nine  month 
             period  ended March 31, 1995.   In 1996 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 
             1996 and 1995 periods.
