Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 1997
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, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending June 30,
1997. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of
June 30, 1996 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, 1997
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Cash and cash equivalents were $415,417 at March 31, 1997,
as compared to $1,035,395 at June 30, 1996. In addition,
at March 31, 1997, the Company had $642,772 of marketable
securities, as compared to $565,725 at June 30, 1996.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the primary
use of the Company's capital resources was net cash used
in investing activities of $493,000, as compared to
$244,000 in the comparable 1996 period. In the nine
months ended March 31, 1997, the Company invested $380,000
in property and equipment and cash of $45,000 to acquire
an accredited cosmetology technical training school. The
Company had net purchases of marketable securities of
$77,000, as compared to net purchases of $2,400 in the
nine months ended March 31, 1996.
The Company had a current ratio of 2.14 at March 31,
1997, as compared to 2.01 at March 31, 1996 and 2.22 at
June 30, 1996.
At March 31, 1997, commitments for capital expenditures
and other investments did not exceed $200,000. Such
commitments were for acquisition or construction of
salons, salon refurbishing, and other investments. The
Company believes its cash resources and liquidity are
adequate for its present short and long-term business
requirements.
Results of Operations:
In the nine and three months ended March 31, 1997,
revenues from Company-owned salon operations decreased by
18.1% ($1,294,000) and 25.5% ($560,000), respectively, as
compared to the same periods in 1996. The decrease in
revenues is mainly attributable to a decrease in the
average number of company-owned salons operating during
the nine and three months ending March 31, 1997. The
decrease also reflects the closing in January, 1997 of a
high volume salon whose lease was not renewed by
the Company. As of March 31, 1997, there were 42
company-owned salons, as compared to 43 at March 31,
-8-
1996. On a comparable basis, store sales for salons oper-
ating throughout the entire nine and three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 declined by 1.1% and 3.7%,
respectively. In the nine and three months ended March 31,
1997, respectively, direct costs of Company- owned salons
decreased by 18.4% ($1,244,000) and 21.8% ($442,000) over
such total costs for the nine and three months ended March
31, 1996.
These variances are largely attributable to costs that
fluctuate in direct relation to sales. However, the
Company incurred decreased payroll and occupancy costs, as
a percent of sales during the three months ended March
31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. During the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 the Company opened six
salons, sold one salon to a licensee, closed four salons
and acquired one accredited cosmetology technical training
school. Management's policy is to close existing salons
that do not meet its cash flow criteria.
In the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1997,
sales of equipment and products decreased by 31.2%
($52,000) and 37.4% ($21,000), respectively, compared to
the same periods in 1996. Correspondingly, cost of
equipment and products sold decreased by 34.4% and 15.8%,
respectively. The decrease in sales is due in part to the
decreased number of franchised salons.
In the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1997,
royalties and service fees decreased by 4.9% ($70,000) and
6.8% ($26,000), respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 1996. The overall decrease is due in part to
a decline in the number of franchised hair salons. The
number of franchised hair salons has been steadily
decreasing for several years (305 at March 31, 1995, 301
at March 31, 1996 and 281 at March 31, 1997).
The Company expects the decline in royalties to continue
as a result of attrition of existing licensees without
replacements with new licensees. The Company does not
anticipate significant hair care franchise sales from new
locations for fiscal 1997, due to increased competition
for new locations, coupled with a longer period from a
salon's opening until it achieves profitable operations.
Franchise fee income decreased in the nine and three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 by 82.2% ($138,000) and
92.4% ($43,000), respectively, as compared to the same
periods ended March 31, 1996. Franchise fees, which are
principally related to the New Area Development Program,
will continue to decline as payments to the Company under
notes obtained in connection with that Program, cease at
the varying maturities of such notes.
-9-
The number of franchised salons has been steadily decreas-
ing 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 reve-
nues will continue for as long as the downward trend in
the number of franchised salons continues.
The lack of an adequate number of licensed hair stylists
has become a major industry-wide problem and makes it
difficult to recruit the required number of qualified
personnel. The Company believes that the scarcity of hair
stylists will continue to have a detrimental effect on
salon operations and expansion by the Company and its
licensees for as long as the situation continues.
Inflation has not materially affected the Company's
revenues and income during the past two fiscal years.
In the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1997
selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by
8.3% ($159,000) and increased by 6.4% ($36,000),
respectively, as compared to the same periods ended March
31, 1996. The decrease in the nine month period is due in
part to lower general and administrative payroll costs
and the increase in the three month period is due in part
to operation of the cosmetology school acquired in
September, 1996.
The provision (recovery) for doubtful accounts and notes
receivable declined for the nine and three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same periods ended
March 31, 1996 due in part to recoveries and evaluation of
accounts previously deemed uncollectible. The allowance
at March 31, 1997 was $374,674 as compared to $335,904 at
June 30, 1996.
The income tax charges in the nine and three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 reflects that since the Company files
separate subsidiary state income tax returns, rather than
consolidated state income tax returns, the Company was not
able to offset certain subsidiary losses against other
subsidiary income.
The Company's salons and franchising activities, including
its sales of franchises, are not materially affected by
seasonal fluctuations, in the volume of business.
