Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
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, 1996 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
Six Months Ended December 31, 1996
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Cash and cash equivalents were $654,381 at December
31, 1996, as compared to $1,035,395 at June 30,
1996. In addition, at December 31, 1996, the
Company had $642,652 of marketable securities, as
compared to $565,725 at June 30, 1996. During the
six months ended December 31, 1996, the primary use
of the Company's capital resources was net cash
used in investing activities of $337,000, as
compared to $220,000 in the comparable 1995 period.
In the six months ended December 31, 1996, the
Company invested $220,000 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 sales of $3,000 in the
six months ended December 31, 1995.
The Company had a current ratio of 2.43 at December
31, 1996, as compared to 1.97 at December 31, 1995
and 2.22 at June 30, 1996.
At December 31, 1996, commitments for capital
expenditures and other investments did not exceed
$300,000. 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 six and three months ended December 31,
1996, revenues from Company-owned salon operations
decreased by 14.8% ($733,000) and 9.9% ($239,000),
respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1995. The decrease in revenues is mainly
attributable to a decrease in the average number of
company-owned salons operating during the six and
three months ending December 31, 1996. As of
December 31, 1996, there were 41 company-owned
salons, as compared to 46 at December 31, 1995. On
a comparable basis, store sales for salons
operating throughout the entire six and three month
periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 declined
by 2.4% and 1.1%, respectively. In the six and
-8-
three months ended December 31, 1996, respectively,
direct costs of Company-owned salons decreased by
17.0% ($802,000) and 11.4% ($260,000) over such
total costs for the six and three months ended
December 31, 1995. 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 six months ended December 31,
1996 compared to the same period in 1995. During
the three months ended December 31, 1996 as a
percent of sales occupancy costs declined and
payroll costs increased as compared to the
respective 1995 period. During the six months ended
December 31, 1996 the Company opened four salons,
sold one salon to a licensee, closed three 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 six and three month periods ended December
31, 1996, sales of equipment and products decreased
by 28.1% ($31,000) and 37.8% ($20,000),
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995.
Correspondingly, cost of equipment and products
sold decreased by 40.8% and 44.2%, respectively,
reflecting higher margins. The decrease in sales
is due in part to the decreased number of
franchised salons.
In the six and three month periods ended December
31, 1996, royalties and service fees decreased by
4.1% ($44,000) and increased by 4.8% ($20,000),
respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1995. 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 (309 at
December 31, 1994, 305 at December 31, 1995 and
284 at December 31, 1996).
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.
-9-
Franchise fee income decreased in the six and three
month periods ended December 31, 1996 by 78.3%
($95,000) and 87.7% ($53,000), respectively, as
compared to the same periods ended December 31,
1995. 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.
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.
In the six and three month periods ended December
31, 1996 selling, general, and administrative
expenses decreased by 14.4% ($195,000) and 10.8%
($69,000), respectively, as compared to the same
periods ended December 31, 1995. The decreases are
due in part to lower general and administrative
payroll costs.
The income tax charges in the six and three month
periods ended December 31, 1996 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.
