    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 
             six and three month periods ended December 31, 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
     
  
    Liquidity and Capital Resources:
  
             Cash  and  cash equivalents were $876,607  at  December  31,   
             1995,  as  compared  to  $604,701  at  December  31,   1994.  
             Additionally, at December 31, 1995, the Company had $270,241 
             of  marketable  securities,  as  compared  to  $500,069   at 
             December 31, 1994.  The Company had a current ratio of  1.97 
             at December 31, 1995, as compared to 2.11 at June 30,  1995, 
             and 2.25 at December 31, 1994. 
  
             At  December 31, 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  5.6% ($295,717) and 10.1% ($271,503),  respectively,  in 
             the  six  and three month periods ended December  31,  1995. 
             Comparable store sales operating throughout each of the  six 
             and  three  month periods ended December 31, 1995  and  1994 
             declined by 5.9% and 6.9%, respectively.  As of December 31, 
             1995, there were 46 Company-owned salons, compared to 56  at 
             December  31,  1994.   During the  six  month  period  ended   
             December  31,  1995, the Company acquired one salon  from  a 
             licensee,  opened three salons, sold two salons  and  closed 
             nine  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 
             6.6%  ($335,031) and 12.7% ($332,505), respectively, in  the 
             six  and  three month periods ended December 31,   1995,  as 
             compared  to  the same periods in  1994.    Advertising  and 
             promotion  and  occupancy costs increased as  a  percent  of 
             sales in 1995 as compared to the same periods last year.  
  
             Sales  of  equipment  and  products  declined  by  $548  and 
             increased  by  $1,605, respectively, in the  six  and  three 
             month  periods  ended December 31, 1995 as compared  to  the 
             same  periods in 1994.  Correspondingly, cost  of  equipment 
             and   products  sold  increased  by  $21,353  and   $10,586, 
             respectively, reflecting lower  margins.   
                                      -8-



             Consolidated  royalties and service fees decreased by  10.2% 
             ($118,695)  and 24.3% ($134,373), respectively, in  the  six 
             and three month periods ended December 31, 1995, as compared
             to the same periods in 1994.  The decreases are due to a
             lower  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 December 31, 1995 was 305, as compared 
             to 309 at December 31, 1994. 
  
             Franchise  fee income increased in the six and  three  month 
             periods  ended  December  31, 1995 by  $23,396  and  $4,025, 
             respectively,  as  compared  to the same  periods  in  1994.  
             Franchise  fee  income  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  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. Inflation has not materially affected  the 
             Company's  revenues  and income during the past  two  fiscal 
             years. 
  
             Interest  and  dividend income in the six  and  three  month 
             periods  ended  December 31, 1995 decreased by  $16,369  and 
             $9,835,  respectively,  due to a decline in  the  amount  of 
             invested assets. 
  
             Selling,  general, and administrative expenses decreased  by 
             8.7%  ($134,950) and 11.8% ($89,673), respectively,  in  the 
             six  and  three month periods ended December 31,   1995,  as 
             compared to the same periods in 1994.  The decreases in 1995 
             are due in part to lower general and administrative  payroll 
             costs  which  will continue throughout  the  current  fiscal 
             year. 
  
             The effective income tax benefit was 7.9% in the six   month 
             period  ended December 31, 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.
