                                   MARCH 31, 1999






NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying unaudited 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 month period ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending  June 30,  1999.  For  further  information,  refer  to the  consolidated
financial statements and footnotes as of June 30, 1998 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, 1999


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Cash and cash equivalents were $1,646,000 at March 31, 1999, as compared to
$753,00 at June 30, 1998.  In addition, at March 31, 1999, the Company had
$722,000 of marketable securities, as compared to $153,000 at June 30, 1998. 
Capital expenditures for the quarter were $24,000 as compared to $12,000 for 
the prior year. At March 31, 1999, commitments for capital expenditures and
other investments did not exceed $200,000.  Such commitments were for franchise
development costs, 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:

For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, revenues from Company-owned salons 
decreased by $802,000 or 15.4% as compared to the prior period. Salon revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by $645,000 or 37% as
compared to the prior period.  Correspondingly direct costs of Company-owned 
salons for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by $701,000 or 14%
and direct costs of Company-owned salons for the three months ended March 31, 
1999 decreased by  $593,000 or 37% as comparedto applicable periods ending
March 31, 1998.  These decreases reflected the sales and disposition of salons
during the last quarter.  During the period the Company sold thirty-two salons 
and closed four.  Five salons were retained but are scheduled for sale or 
closing in the next quarter.

With respect to existing licensees for the nine months ending March 31, 1999
royalties and  service fees decreased by $14,000 or 1.3% as compared to the 
prior nine month period.  For the three months ended March 31, 1999 royalties
and service fees decreased by $108,000 or 32% as compared to  the comparable
period in 1998.  The decrease is attributable to terminations of licensed
salons as well as delayed reporting and collections.  At March 31, 1999
there were 163 salons under license as compared to 233 at March 31, 1998.




                                      -8-
<PAGE>


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  (Continued)

The Company expects some decline in continuing royalties as a result of
attrition of existing licensees with limited replacements by new licensees. 
The Company does not anticipate any significant hair care franchise sales from
new locations for fiscal 1999, due to increased competition for obtaining new
locations and recruiting licensed hair stylists, coupled with a longer period
from a salon's opening until it achieves profitable operations.

In March of 1999 the Company subscribed to a 50% interest in a new entity 
formed to develop a hair care and retail toy franchise for children.  The new 
entity is now in the development stage.

For the nine months and the three months ended March 31, 1999, interest and
dividend income increased $48,000 and $9,000 as compared to the prior period. 
These increases largely resulted from financing arrangements with licensees
for new capital expenditures and working capital as well as increased
investments in marketable securities.

The Company has not provided for federal income taxes for the nine months
ended March 31, 1999, as  the Company had net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $1,640,000 and $49,000, respectively, expiring 
through 2013 as at June 30, 1998.

The  Company's  salons  and  franchising  activities,  including  its  sales  of
franchises, are not materially affected by seasonal fluctuations,  in the volume
of business.

The Company does not  expect to incur significant expenses related to the year
2,000 computer programming changes, nor does it expect any material disruption 
in its business or that of its suppliers and licensees.
