PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
The Company is the largest owner and operator of mall-based hair and retail
hair product salons in the world. At June 30, 1996, the Company operated 1,963
salons (1,891 company-owned and 72 franchised) offering high-quality haircare
services and products in 50 states and certain foreign countries, principally
the United Kingdom. Regis operates its salons primarily under the names Regis
Hairstylists, MasterCuts and Trade Secret. In 1996, the Company began operating
hair salons in Wal-Mart stores and supercenters.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Management estimates that annual sales of the haircare industry were $37
billion in the United States and $65 billion worldwide. The industry is highly
fragmented with the vast majority of haircare salons independently owned.
However, the influence of chains, both franchise and company-owned, has
increased substantially, although still accounting for a small percentage of
total locations. Management believes that chains will continue to increase
their presence. Management also believes that the demand for salon services and
products will increase in the next decade as the population ages and desires
additional haircare services such as coloring.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's goal is to provide high quality haircare services and
products to customers in different market groups through physically attractive
salons in high traffic shopping mall locations. The key elements of the
Company's strategy to achieve these goals are the following:
CONSISTENT, QUALITY SERVICE. Regis is committed to meeting its customer's
haircare needs by providing competitively priced services and products in
convenient locations with professional and knowledgeable hairstylists. The
Company's operations and marketing emphasize high-quality services to create
customer loyalty, to encourage referrals and to distinguish the Company's salons
from its competitors. The major services supplied by the Company's salons are
haircutting and styling, hair coloring, shampooing, conditioning and permanent
waving. To promote quality and consistency of services provided throughout the
Company's salons, Regis has full and part-time artistic directors whose duties
are to teach and train salon operators and to instruct the stylists in current
styling trends.
MALL-BASED LOCATIONS. As the largest national mall-based operator in the
hair salon industry, Regis has the ability to obtain desirable locations in
high-profile, regional malls anchored by major department stores. Mall owners
and developers typically seek retailers such as Regis due to the Company's
financial strength, successful salon operations and status as a national mall
tenant. The Company's locations, which are aesthetically appealing and designed
to attract customers from mall shoppers, provide a steady source of new
business. During fiscal
3
<PAGE>
1996, Regis provided services to more than 30 million customer worldwide.
MULTIPLE SALON CONCEPTS. Regis operates primarily three salon concepts;
Regis Hairstylists, MasterCuts and Trade Secrets. Regis' various salon concepts
in the United States address the major segments of the salon market and provide
the Company with the ability to have multiple locations in a single mall and the
flexibility to convert concepts if mall demographics or customer preferences
shift.
Regis Hairstylists appeal primarily to women and are positioned at the
moderate-to-upscale end of the salon market. MasterCuts appeal to the more
value-conscious customer with promotional or discount prices and have a higher
percentage of men and children as customers. Trade Secret provides hairstyling
service and a broad selection of quality haircare and beauty products sold only
through professional salons. Because the square footage for each of these
concepts is approximately the same, the Company has the ability to determine
which salon concept is best suited to a new location and change the concept of
existing salons to meet demographic changes in the salon's market.
The Company also operates promotionally priced, family-oriented hair care
salons located in Wal-Mart stores and supercenters.
EXPANSION. The Company has grown through increased sales from existing
salons, constructing additional salons, and acquisitions. During the five year
period ended June 30, 1996, the Company has added 832 net units to its worldwide
salon base from new salon construction and acquisitions. During this same period
of time, the Company added two new operating divisions, Trade Secret and Wal-
Mart, and also expanded its Regis Hairstylists, MasterCuts and International
salon divisions. In addition to continuing its salon acquisition strategy, the
Company expects to construct at least 150 new salons and complete approximately
60 major remodeling and conversion projects during fiscal 1997.
In addition, in July 1996, the Company and Supercuts, Inc. signed an
agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Supercuts will, subject to
satisfaction of the closing conditions in the agreement, merge with a subsidiary
of the Company in a stock-for-stock merger transaction. Supercuts is one of the
largest publicly held owners, operators and franchisors of hair salons in the
United States. The Supercuts system includes over 1,150 company-owned and
franchised stores in 39 states and Puerto Rico.
HIGH QUALITY HAIRCARE PRODUCTS. Through Trade Secret and the Company's
other salons, Regis sells nationally-recognized haircare products such as
Joico-Registered Trademark-, KMS-Registered Trademark-, Matrix-Registered
Trademark-, Paul Mitchell-Registered Trademark-, Nexxus-Registered Trademark-,
Redken-Registered Trademark- and Sebastian-Registered Trademark- and a complete
line of products sold under the Regis label, which is the Company's best selling
product line. The salon branded products are typically sold only through
professional salons and generate higher gross margins than haircutting and other
salon services. The Company's stylists are trained to sell haircare products as
well as services such as color treatments and manicures to their customers.
Sales of haircare products increased nearly 25 percent in fiscal 1996 to $139
million and represented 28 percent of total
4
<PAGE>
sales.
CONTROL OVER SALON OPERATIONS. As a salon owner/operator, Regis controls
the quality of operations and enjoys certain economies of scale in terms of
certain central and store level expenses. Quality control is particularly
important in the Regis Hairstylists and MasterCuts salons where a greater
portion of sales are derived from hairstyling and color services. The Company
has an extensive training program, including the production of training videos
for use in the salons, to ensure that hairstylists are knowledgeable and provide
consistent quality haircare services.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. Management believes that due to its size and number of
locations the Company has certain advantages which are not available to single
location salons or small chains. The Company uses its point-of-sale system to
track inventory and to monitor service and product sales. This product and
customer information is used to evaluate salon productivity and, in some cases,
to determine the most appropriate salon use for the location. Additionally, as
a result of its volume purchases, the Company is able to purchase haircare
products and supplies and salon fixtures on an advantageous basis. The Company
is also able to gain national and local market recognition for the Regis name
and its salon concepts through national and local advertising and promotional
programs.
REGIS HAIRSTYLISTS
Regis Hairstylists are full-service salons providing complete haircare and
beauty services aimed at moderate to upscale, fashion-conscious consumers. The
customer mix at Regis Hairstylists salons is approximately 70 percent women and
30 percent men. These salons offer a full range of custom hairstyling, cutting,
coloring, permanent wave and manicuring as well as haircare products. The
average sale at Regis Hairstylists salons is approximately $20. Regis
Hairstylists salons compete in their existing markets primarily by emphasizing
the high quality of their services. The Company actively monitors the prices
charged by its competitors in each area and makes every effort to maintain
prices which, although in the higher range of local prices, are not so high as
to be uncompetitive with prices of other salons offering similar, high-quality
services. At June 30, 1996, the Company operated 797 Regis Hairstylists salons
in shopping malls in North America. Sales from the Regis Hairstylists salons
were $268 million, or 54 percent of the Company's total sales, in fiscal 1996.
The Company expects to construct about 35 new Regis Hairstylists salons in
fiscal 1997.
MASTERCUTS FAMILY HAIRCUTTERS
MasterCuts Family Haircutters salons were introduced in 1985 to serve a
broader customer base than Regis Hairstylists and to respond to competitive
pressures for lower cost haircare services. MasterCuts salons emphasize quality
haircutting, lower prices and time-saving services for the entire family. The
customer mix at MasterCuts salons contains a greater percentage of men and
children than at Regis Hairstylists salons. MasterCuts salons cater to
5
<PAGE>
walk-in customers and provide a warm, inviting atmosphere that is comfortable
for all members of the family. Many of the same product lines sold in Regis
Hairstylists salons are also available in MasterCuts salons. The average sale
at MasterCuts salons is approximately $10. The MasterCuts salons place more
emphasis on discount or promotional pricing for the services being offered to
compete more effectively with the chains of salons, primarily franchises, now
offering such services at discount prices. In certain markets, the Company has
been able to improve a salon's performance by converting it to a MasterCuts
salon. At June 30, 1996, the Company operated 327 MasterCuts salons in North
America. Sales from MasterCuts salons accounted for $83 million, or 17 percent
of the Company's total sales, in fiscal 1996. During fiscal 1997, the Company
plans to construct approximately 35 new MasterCuts salons.
TRADE SECRET
Trade Secret salons emphasize haircare and beauty product sales in a retail
setting while providing high-quality haircare and beauty services. Trade Secret
salons are designed to display and attract sales of haircare and beauty
products. Trade Secret salons offer the same products as the Regis Hairstylists
and MasterCuts salons, but also have additional beauty items. The average sale
at Trade Secret salons is approximately $14, but the number of daily
transactions is generally higher than at Regis Hairstylists or MasterCuts
locations. At June 30, 1996, the number of Trade Secret salons totalled 274 in
North America, including 55 franchised locations. Sales from Trade Secret
salons during fiscal 1996 were $70 million, or 14 percent of the Company's total
sales. The Company anticipates constructing approximately 40 new Trade Secret
salons in fiscal 1997.
WAL-MART SALONS
The Company expanded into the mass merchant retail arena in May 1996 by
acquiring 154 salons operating within Wal-Mart stores and supercenters. Wal-
Mart salons share many operating characteristics with MasterCuts: pricing is
promotional, services are focused on family hair cutting, and product sales
contribute solidly to overall sales. The Company operated 157 Wal-Mart salons
at June 30, 1996. The Company anticipates constructing at least 35 new salons
in Wal-Mart supercenters in fiscal 1997.
INTERNATIONAL SALON OPERATIONS
The Company operated 408 hair care salons in five countries outside of the
United States and Canada at June 30, 1996, including 343 salons in the
United Kingdom. Canadian salons operate under the Regis Hairstylists,
MasterCuts and Trade Secret tradenames, while salons in the remaining five
countries primarily operate in department stores under license arrangements.
Sales from the International salon operations were $76 million, or 15
percent of the Company's total sales, in fiscal 1996. The Company expects to
continue to increase its International salon base in fiscal 1997.

(2)Canadian salons are included in the Regis, MasterCuts and Trade Secret
sections and not included in the International salon totals.
Of the 116 new salons opened in fiscal 1996, 31 were Regis Hairstylists
salons, 33 were MasterCuts, 40 were Trade Secret, 3 were Wal-Mart and 9 were
International salons. The Company intends to construct at least 150 new salons
during fiscal year 1997 and expects that about 35 of these will be Regis
Hairstylists salons, about 35 will be MasterCuts, about 40 will be Trade Secret,
about 35 will be Wal-Mart salons and 10 will be International. The Company has
a program of modernizing its existing salons, ranging from redecoration to
substantial reconstruction, in order to raise its older salons to the standards
of its newly constructed locations. This program is implemented as management
determines that a particular location will benefit from such modernization, or
as required by lease renewals.
HAIRCARE PRODUCTS
In recent years, the Company has placed emphasis on the sales of higher-
margin haircare products, with the result that such sales have become an
increasingly important part of the Company's business, having grown from 5.4
percent of total sales in fiscal 1987 to 28.1 percent in fiscal 1996. A
significant portion of this growth has resulted from the introduction of
national brand merchandise in 1988 and the acquisition of Trade Secret in
December 1993 and Beauty Express in November 1992. The haircare products
offered are primarily shampoos, hair conditioners, fixatives and hair sprays.
Both the Regis label products and lines of salon branded
9
<PAGE>
products are sold only through licensed beauty salons, including
Joico-Registered Trademark-, KMS-Registered Trademark-, Matrix-Registered
Trademark-, Paul Mitchell-Registered Trademark-, Nexxus-Registered Trademark-,
Redken-Registered Trademark- and Sebastian-Registered Trademark-. The Regis
line continues to be the Company's best selling product line. The Company
actively reviews its product line offerings and continuously investigates the
quality and sales potential of new products. The Company utilizes its national
salon network as a testing ground for new product formulations. There are many
potential sources of supply for the types of products used or sold at the
salons, and the Company is not dependent upon any single supplier.
SITE SELECTION
The Company is the largest shopping mall tenant which operates haircare
salons in the United States and has attained national tenant status which makes
the Company an attractive tenant for shopping mall owners and developers. In
the United States, there are approximately 1,800 enclosed malls which meet the
Company's performance criteria with several new shopping malls developed each
year. At June 30, 1996, the Company's 1,398 United States and Canadian mall-
based salons were located in approximately 965 shopping malls. Because the
Company's different salon concepts target different customer groups depending on
the size and location of the shopping malls, more than one of the Company's
salon concepts may be located in the same mall. As a result, there are numerous
leasing opportunities in shopping malls for its Regis Hairstylists, MasterCuts
and Trade Secret salons, of which the Company has penetrated approximately one-
third.
The Company generally locates its salons in fully enclosed, climate-
controlled shopping malls classified as "regional" having 400,000 or more square
feet of leasable area and at least two full-line department store anchor
tenants. The Company's experience has been that selecting the proper mall and
obtaining a favorable, high-traffic location within the mall are important
determinants of the success of a new salon. For existing malls, the Company
evaluates the current sales per square foot of tenants, the stature and strength
of the anchor tenants and the other tenants, the location and traffic patterns
within the mall, and the proximity of competitors. In addition, the Company may
conduct site surveys and physical observations to assess the location and
competitive environment.
Several trends have enabled the Company to continue to lease high-profile
space in existing malls. Leasing velocity and turnover have increased because
the average length of shopping mall lease terms has been steadily declining.
Also, many larger tenants are downsizing their leased areas to make better use
of costly space, thereby creating available floor space. Also, many existing
malls are being expanded, renovated and remerchandised. Because of these
factors, the Company believes that it has ample expansion opportunities and
therefore can be selective in establishing new locations.
MARKETS AND MARKETING
Approximately half of the Company's North American salons are situated in
"middle markets" with service area populations between 80,000 and 800,000.
Approximately one-fourth of the Company's salons are located in smaller markets
with a service area population below 80,000, and about one-fourth are located in
major metropolitan areas with populations in excess of 800,000. The Company
believes that the geographic dispersion of its salons throughout the
10
<PAGE>
United States may diminish the impact of fluctuations in regional business
cycles. Most of the Company's salons, other than its department store salons in
the International salon division and Wal-Mart salons, are located in enclosed
mall shopping centers.
The Company maintains various advertising, sales and promotion programs for
its salons, budgeting a predetermined percentage of sales for such programs.
The Company has developed promotional tactics and institutional sales messages
for each of its divisions targeting certain customer types and positioning each
concept in the marketplace. Print, radio and television and billboard
advertising are developed and supervised at the Company's headquarters, but most
of the advertising is done in the immediate area of the particular salon. The
Company has conducted institutional advertising and public relations on a
national basis through such magazines as SEVENTEEN, PEOPLE and VOGUE. In
addition, the Company conducts seasonal sales promotions in the winter
(Christmas merchandising) and late summer (back-to-school).
The Company's salons also support charitable events. In the annual "Clip
for the Cure," many Regis salons worldwide offer haircuts for $10 and all
proceeds are donated to the Company's Foundation for Breast Cancer Research
which donates money to organizations researching a cure for breast cancer. The
Company has nearly reached $1.5 million in fundraising for breast cancer
charities.
SALON TRAINING PROGRAMS
The Company has an extensive hands-on training program for its salon
managers and hairstylist associates which emphasizes both technical training in
hairstyling and cutting, perming, hair coloring and hair treatment regimes as
well as customer service and product sales. The objective of the training
programs is to ensure that customers receive professional and quality service
which the Company believes will result in more repeat customers, referrals and
product sales.
The Company has full- and part-time artistic directors who teach and train
the salon operators in techniques for providing the salon services and who
instruct the stylists in current styling trends. The Company also has an
audiovisual based training system in its salons designed to enhance technical
skills of hairstylists.
The Company has a customer service training program to improve the
interaction between employees and customers. Staff members are trained in the
proper techniques of customer greeting, telephone courtesy and professional
behavior through a series of professionally designed video tapes and
instructional seminars.
STAFF RECRUITING AND RETENTION
Recruiting quality managers and hairstylists is essential to the
establishment and operation of successful salons. The Company's supervisory
team seeks to recruit entrepreneurial salon managers who display initiative and
imagination. The Company has been successful in recruiting capable managers and
stylists for a number of reasons. To employ and retain qualified and productive
employees, the Company utilizes a broad compensation system including cash
incentives, merchandise awards, Company-sponsored trips and benefit programs.
The Company
11
<PAGE>
believes that its compensation structure for salon managers and hairstylists is
competitive within the industry. Stylists benefit from the Company's high-
traffic locations in quality malls and receive a steady source of new business
from walk-in customers. In addition, the Company offers a career path with the
opportunity to move into managerial and training positions within the Company.
SALON DESIGN
The Company's salons are designed, built and operated in accordance with
uniform standards and practices developed by the Company based on its
experience. To the greatest extent possible, new salons are designed and
constructed according to the Company's standard specifications, thereby reducing
design and construction costs and enhancing operating efficiencies. Salon
fixtures and equipment are also uniform, allowing the Company to place large
orders for these items with attendant cost savings.
The size of the Company's salons ranges from 500 to 2,300 square feet, with
the typical salon having about 1,100 square feet. At present, the cost to the
Company of constructing and furnishing a new salon, including inventories,
averages in the range of approximately $125,000 to $145,000, with about 80
percent of the total construction cost for leasehold improvements and the
balance for salon fixtures, equipment, and inventory.
The Company maintains its own construction and design department, and
designs and supervises the construction, furnishing and fixturing of all new
salons. The Company has developed considerable expertise in designing upscale,
visually appealing salons. The design and construction staff focuses on
aesthetic appeal, efficient use of space, cost and rapid completion times. The
Company's salons are airy in appearance with open store fronts and have few, if
any, partitions. Haircare products offered for sale are prominently and
attractively displayed in the salons. Each of the Company's salon concepts has
a different design related to the image to be projected. Regis Hairstylists
salons are more upscale in design and utilize marble floors, mirrors and
contrasting black and white colors. MasterCuts salons are family oriented and
include extensive use of woodwork and warm, comfortable colors. Trade Secret
salons use many of the same design techniques as Regis Hairstylists salons, and
also have open and easily accessible product displays. Wal-Mart salons, which
are strategically located near the check out counters in the front of Wal-Mart
stores and supercenters, are efficiently designed and tastefully furnished to
complement the Wal-Mart retail environment.
OPERATIONS
Company-owned and franchised salons located in the United States, Puerto
Rico, Canada, and Mexico are operated and managed as part of the Company's North
American operations. All other salons, primarily located in department stores
in the United Kingdom and South Africa, are operated and managed through the
Company's United Kingdom subsidiary.
For each salon division, the Company's operations are divided into
geographic regions throughout the United States. Each region is headed by one
of the Company's salon directors, assisted by regional field managers and area
supervisors, who coordinate the operations of the salons in the particular
region. The area supervisors are responsible for hiring and training the
managers for each salon.
12
<PAGE>
Over the years the Company has developed uniform procedures for opening new
salons in such a manner as to maximize sales from a new location as rapidly as
possible. After opening, all salons are operated according to standard
procedures which the Company has learned are desirable for the operation of an
efficient, high-quality, profitable salon.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The Company utilizes a retail point-of-sale information system in all its
salons. This system collects data daily from each salon and consolidates the
data into several management reports. The Company's automated system polls
terminals nightly and all salon cash receipts are transferred automatically into
a centralized bank account, thereby significantly reducing administrative
expenses. Point-of-sale information is also used both to monitor salon
performance and to generate customer data for use in identifying and
anticipating industry trends for purposes of pricing and marketing. The Company
has expanded the system to deliver on-line information as to sales of products
to improve its inventory and control system, including suggested monthly product
purchase recommendations for a salon, a monthly report of sales and a perpetual
inventory. Management believes that its information systems provide advantages
in planning and analysis which are not available to a majority of its
competitors which do not have management information systems.
COMPETITION
The haircare industry is highly competitive. In every area in which the
Company has a salon, there are competitors offering similar haircare services
and products at similar prices. The Company faces competition within malls from
companies which operate salons as departments within department stores and from
smaller chains of salons, independently owned salons and, to a lesser extent,
salons which, although independently owned, are operating under franchises from
a franchising company that may assist such salons in areas of training,
marketing and advertising.
In order to obtain locations in shopping malls, the Company must be
competitive as to rentals and other customary tenant obligations. The Company
believes that because of its established relationships with many leading
shopping center developers throughout the country, its status in the haircare
industry as a national rather than a local tenant, and its financial resources,
it will encounter little difficulty in obtaining sufficient shopping center
locations to continue its historical pattern of growth.
TRADEMARKS
The Company holds numerous trademarks, both in the United States and in
several foreign countries. The most important are the trademarks "Regis
Hairstylists," "MasterCuts" and "Trade Secret."
The Company believes the use of the trademarks "Regis Hairstylists,"
"MasterCuts" and "Trade Secret" is important in establishing and maintaining its
reputation as a national operator of high-quality hairstyling salons, and is
committed to protecting these trademarks by vigorously challenging any
unauthorized use.
13
<PAGE>
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 20,000 full- and part-
time employees worldwide, of which approximately 15,000 employees were located
in the United States. None of the Company's employees is subject to a
collective bargaining agreement and the Company believes that its employee
relations are good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's consolidated executive and administrative offices are located
in a 100,000 square foot building in Edina, Minnesota owned by the Company.
The Company also leases warehouse space in Eden Prairie, Minnesota for
storing and distributing inventory. The Company believes that this space will
be adequate for inventory storage needs for the foreseeable future.

required by the commission's regulations to furnish the Company with copies of
all such reports.

with the Commission during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, all applicable

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Messrs.
Hawn and Bjelland and Ms. Hoyt, independent outside Directors. The Compensation
Committee has responsibility for administering Regis' incentive plans and
setting policies that govern annual compensation and long-term incentives for
the principal executive officers of the Company.
The Company's executive compensation policies are intended to permit the
Company to attract and retain talented executives and to align the financial
interests of the Company's management with those of its stockholders.
Historically, the Company has sought to accomplish its objectives of attracting
and retaining executives by providing for competitive salary levels and
occasional cash bonus awards based upon individual performance, subjectively
determined by the Chairman of the Board. The principal executive officers of the
Company, other than the Chairman, were permitted in 1988 to purchase substantial
numbers of restricted shares of the Company's common stock under agreement which
provide for vesting over time. The loans incurred by such officers for such
purchases were paid from the proceeds of special bonuses to such officers in
1991, which also included payments of the income taxes incurred by such officers
with respect to such bonuses. As a result of these transactions, and subsequent
grants of stock options, all of the Company's principal executive officers named
in the Summary Compensation Table have substantial ownership positions in the
common stock of the Company, aligning their interests directly with those of the
other stockholders in both the risks and rewards of ownership of the Company's
common stock.
17
<PAGE>
The Company's stock option program provides compensation opportunities that
directly link the interests of management and shareholders, and aid in retaining
key executive officers. Executive officers are eligible for annual grants of
stock options. Individual awards are based on the individual's responsibilities
and performance, ability to impact financial performance and future potential.
These factors are not assigned pre-determined relative weights. All individual
stock option grants for non-executive officers are reviewed and approved by the
Committee. All such grants for executive officers are awarded solely by the two
independent outside directors, based on recommendations of management. Executive
officers receive gains from exercised stock options only to the extent that the
fair market value of the stock has increased since the date of option grant.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee reviews
annual salary recommendations for the Company's executives made by the Chief
Executive Officer and approves, with any modifications it deems appropriate,
such recommendations. The annual salary recommendations are made by the Chief
Executive Officer, and approved or modified by the Compensation Committee, based
upon industry practice and national surveys of compensation packages, as well as
evaluations of the individual executive's responsibilities and past and expected
future performance. The independent outside directors of the Compensation
Committee fix the salary of the Chief Executive Officer based on a review of
competitive compensation data, and the outside directors' assessment of his past
performance and their expectation as to his future performance in leading the
Company. No element of the compensation of the principal executive officers
during the year ended June 30, 1996, was variable or determined with reference
to the performance, financial or otherwise, of the Company.

EXECUTIVE STOCK AWARD PLAN
In July, 1992, the Company established its Executive Stock Award Plan
("ESAP") to provide benefits to employees who are ineligible to participate in
the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan because they are "highly compensated
employees" as defined in Section 414 of the Code. Approximately 25 employees are
currently participants in the ESAP, including the Company's five executive
officers. Each year the Company's Board of Directors in its discretion
determines the number of shares of the Company, if any, to be contributed to the
plan. The number of shares contributed is the same percentage of each
participant's compensation as is contributed by the Company to the Company's
Employee Stock Ownership Plan, up to a maximum of 15% of participating
employee's compensation. However, either the Board of Directors or the
compensation committee has the authority to increase or decrease the number of
shares awarded to anyone or more plan participants. Shares contributed to the
ESAP are allocated to the accounts of each participant in proportion to the
compensation paid to such participant during each plan year except that
extraordinary individual grants are allocated solely to the accounts of the
recipients of such grants. Upon retirement or other termination of employment,
participating employees are entitled to receive all vested portions of their
plan accounts. As of June 30, 1996, 112,960 shares had been allocated to the
accounts of participants, including 57,912 shares to accounts of the Company's
five named executive officers. The ESAP is not a qualified retirement plan under
the Code.
1991 CONTRIBUTORY STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In 1991, the Company established its 1991 Contributory Stock Purchase Plan
(the "1991 Plan"). A total of 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock has been
authorized for purchase under the 1991 Plan. All employees of the Company
(including those who are officers and directors) are eligible to participate in
the 1991 Plan. The 1991 Plan will continue until terminated by the Board of
Directors. The Company estimates that approximately 16,000 employees are
eligible to participate in the 1991 Plan.
Employees who wish to participate in the 1991 Plan do so by voluntarily
enrolling in it. Upon enrolling, an employee elects to have a percentage (up to
10%) of compensation withheld in each pay period. Withheld amounts are then
applied to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Company will contribute to the
1991 Plan an amount equal to 15% of the purchase price of the shares to be
purchased (not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate).
All shares purchased under the 1991 Plan on behalf of participants are
immediately owned by them and may be sold or otherwise disposed of at anytime
after purchase. A participating employee may discontinue 1991 Plan withholding
at any time and, in this event, all credits to a participant's account which
have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be refunded.
The 1991 Plan operates under the direction of the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors. Administration of the 1991 Plan, including purchases of
Common Stock, maintenance of records and accounting activities, is carried out
by Piper Jaffray Inc.
EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has entered into unfunded deferred compensation agreements with
its executive officers (excluding Mr. Kunin). Each of these agreements provides
that (a) if such executive officer becomes disabled while employed by the
Company, the Company will pay to such executive officer $60,000 per year
($100,000 per year in the case of Mr. Finkelstein) during each year that such
executive officer remains disabled until the earlier to occur of age 65 or
death, and (b) upon retirement
21
<PAGE>
after 20 years' service with the Company or after reaching age 65, or death,
while disabled or employed by the Company, such executive officer or his
designated beneficiary will receive the annual deferred compensation amount for
15 years. Payments are further conditioned upon the officers not rendering
services for any competitor of the Company during the period of the payments.
The Company carries insurance on the lives of each of the persons covered by
deferred compensation agreements, is entitled to the case values and the death
proceeds from these policies, and may, but is not required to, use cash values
or death proceeds from these policies to pay deferred compensation.
The Company has entered into an unfunded salary continuation agreement with
Myron Kunin, its Chairman, providing that upon the death of Mr. Kunin, the
Company shall pay to his wife, if she survives him, $300,000 annually for the
remainder of her life, subject to adjustment based on any increases in the
Consumer Price Index from July 1, 1995.
LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS
The Company has adopted "split dollar" life insurance plans for Messrs.
Kunin, Finkelstein, Fox and Evangelist. Under these plans, the Company pays the
premiums on certain policies insuring the lives of these executive officers. The
officers designate the beneficiaries of the "death protection" portions of such
policies. Upon the death of an officer, the Company receives the amount of the
premiums paid or the cash value of such policies, whichever is greater, and the
officer's named beneficiary receives the balance of the proceeds. The present
death protection portion of each such executive officer's policy is $100,000.
The Company has a health insurance plan under which the Company pays
premiums up to $5,400 per year for health and medical insurance for each of the
executive officers. The Company also has a medical reimbursement plan under
which the Company will reimburse each executive officer for up to $3,000 per
year in medical expenses not covered by insurance.

number of shares outstanding during each period. In 1994 and 1995,
convertible debt is the principal reason for common equivalent shares for the
fully diluted earnings per share computation. In 1996, incentive stock
options are the primary reason for common equivalent shares for the fully
diluted earnings per share computation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
SUMMARY
Regis Corporation, based in Minneapolis, is the largest owner and operator of
mall-based hair and retail product salons in the world. The Regis worldwide
operations include 1,963 hairstyling salons at June 30, 1996 operating in 5
divisions: Regis Hairstylists, MasterCuts, Trade Secret, Wal-Mart and
International. Worldwide operations include 72 franchised salons operating
primarily in the Trade Secret division. The Company has more than 20,000
employees worldwide.
During fiscal 1996, the Company's consolidated sales increased 18.3 percent to a
record $499,442,000 and operating income grew 26.0 percent to $38,229,000.
Fiscal 1996 net income was $19,124,000 or $1.05 per share on a fully diluted
basis. Exclusive of nonrecurring gains, fiscal 1996 earnings were $1.03 per
share, an increase of 28.8 percent, compared to $.80 per share in the prior
year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Annual Results table at left sets forth for the periods indicated certain
information derived from the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations
expressed as a percentage of sales. All percentages were computed as a
percentage of company-owned salon sales. For purposes of this analysis,
franchise revenues have been netted against the related franchise expenses and
included in the cost category "Other, including franchise revenues and
expenses." Franchise revenues are not material to the Company, as they represent
approximately 1 percent of total sales.
YEAR-END COMPARISONS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995:
SALES
SALES for fiscal 1996 were a record $499,442,000, representing an increase of
$77,254,000, or 18.3 percent, over fiscal 1995. Nearly 60 percent of the
increase is attributable to acquisitions occurring in fiscal 1996 and the full
year impact of the fiscal 1995 acquisitions, with the remaining increase due to
net salon openings, and increases in customers served and product sales. Regis
Hairstylists, MasterCuts, Trade Secret and Wal-Mart salons in the United States
and Canada (Domestic salons) accounted for $44,430,000 of the increase in total
sales. The remainder of the sales increase, or $32,824,000, was related to the
Company's salon operations in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Switzerland and
Mexico (International salons) and was largely influenced by the Company's fiscal
1996 acquisitions in the United Kingdom.
For fiscal 1996, sales from Regis Hairstylists were $267,576,000, an increase of
4.1 percent; sales from MasterCuts salons were $83,411,000, an increase of 18.3
percent; Trade Secret company-owned sales were $64,960,000, an increase of 39.8
percent; and International salon sales were $76,287,000, an increase of 75.5
percent.
Same-store sales from Domestic salons open for more than 12 months increased an
average of 3.4 percent, compared to a 4.2 percent increase the previous year.
Same-store sales for the United Kingdom salons (U.K. salons), the primary
component of International salons, increased 1.5 percent during the year. Same-
store sales increases achieved during fiscal 1996 were primarily due to an
increase in the number of customers served. A total of 30,317,000 customers were
served in fiscal 1996, an increase of 11.7 percent, from 27,142,000 customers
served in fiscal 1995. The Company utilizes an audio-visual-based training
system in its salons. Management believes this training system provides its
employees with improved customer service and technical skills and positively
contributes to the increase in customers served.
SERVICE SALES in fiscal 1996 were $355,880,000, an increase of $49,582,000, or
16.2 percent, over fiscal 1995. This increase was primarily due to acquisitions,
net salon openings, and same-store sales growth.
PRODUCT SALES in fiscal 1996 were $138,813,000, an increase of $27,501,000, or
24.7 percent, over fiscal 1995. The Trade Secret retail product salon operations
represented $14,463,000 of this overall increase, reflecting acquisitions
occurring in fiscal 1996 and the full year impact of the fiscal 1995
acquisitions, net salon openings, and same-store sales growth. Product sales for
the Company's Regis Hairstylists, MasterCuts and Wal-Mart salons increased
$8,658,000 and represented 20.0 percent of their fiscal 1996 service and product
sales, up from 18.9 percent in fiscal 1995, reflecting increased customer
awareness and further acceptance of national brand salon merchandise and sales
training of Company employees. The balance of the increase relates to
International salons and was largely caused by the fiscal 1996 salon
acquisitions.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales in fiscal 1996 was $281,552,000, compared to $238,810,000 in
fiscal 1995. The resulting combined gross margin for fiscal 1996 improved 30
basis points to 43.1 percent, compared to 42.8 percent in fiscal 1995. This
improvement is due to several factors, the most significant of which is an
improved sales leverage on the salaries and commissions structure at Regis
Hairstylists, which is the major component of cost of sales. Improved gross
margin was also the result of an increase in the percentage of product sales in
Regis Hairstylists and MasterCuts, which generally have a higher gross profit
margin than service sales.
Service margins improved to 41.8 percent in fiscal 1996, compared to 41.4
percent in fiscal 1995. Retail product margins declined slightly during fiscal
1996 to 46.4 percent, compared to 46.7 percent during fiscal 1995.
RENT EXPENSE
Rent expense in fiscal 1996 was $67,014,000, or 13.5 percent of sales, compared
to $53,745,000, or 12.9 percent of sales, in fiscal 1995. The percentage
increase is due to the fiscal 1996 U.K. acquisitions of the Essanelle department
store salons and the Steiner salons. When compared to Domestic salon operations,
the U.K. salon operations have higher rent expenses and lower selling and
administrative expenses, because certain costs are absorbed by department stores
and passed on as rent. Rent expense as a percentage of sales for the Company's
Domestic salons was 11.9 percent in fiscal 1996, comparable to the 11.8 percent
in fiscal 1995.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in fiscal 1996 was
$88,721,000, or 17.9 percent of sales, compared to $79,398,000, or 19.0 percent
of sales, in fiscal 1995. Such expenses include costs associated with salon
operations (such as advertising, promotion, insurance, telephone and utilities),
field supervision costs (payroll,
REGIS CORPORATION 1996 (17)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
related taxes and travel) and total home office administration costs (such as
warehousing, salaries, occupancy costs and professional fees). A portion of the
improvement was attributable to the fiscal 1996 U.K. salon acquisitions which,
for the reasons described under rent expense above, have a lower level of SG&A
expense. The balance of the rate improvement was due to continued sales
leveraging of fixed and semi-fixed costs.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 1996 was 3.7 percent of sales,
compared to 3.5 percent in fiscal 1995. Amortization costs have increased due to
the increased level of intangible assets associated with the Company's salon
acquisition activity. Depreciation expense, the major component within this
category, has remained relatively consistent as a percentage of sales.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income in fiscal 1996 improved to $38,229,000, an increase of
$7,900,000, or 26.0 percent, over fiscal 1995. Operating income as a percentage
of sales increased to 7.7 percent in fiscal 1996, compared to 7.3 percent in
fiscal 1995. This improvement is attributable primarily to improved gross
margins and the leveraging of selling, general and administrative expense as a
percentage of sales.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for fiscal 1996 was $6,106,000, or 1.2 percent of sales, down
from $6,465,000, or 1.5 percent of sales, in fiscal 1995. This improvement
reflects sales leveraging, lower average debt balances and slightly lower
average interest rates during fiscal 1996.
NONRECURRING ITEMS
During fiscal 1996, the Company received $700,000 of principal payments from
Premier Salons under a note agreement. The Company had previously written off
the related receivable, and accordingly, has recorded these recoveries as
nonrecurring gains. There is no assurance that such recoveries will continue.
Fiscal 1995 nonrecurring items are discussed in the comparison of 1995 and 1994
Results of Operations.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal 1996 was 42.0 percent of
pretax income, which is the same as fiscal 1995. The fiscal 1996 effective rate
reflects higher levels of pretax income which reduces the effective rate. The
decrease was offset by the discontinuance of the targeted jobs tax credit.
NET INCOME
Net income for fiscal 1996 was $19,124,000, or $1.05 per share on a fully
diluted basis, compared to net income for fiscal 1995 of $14,651,000, or $.84
per share. Exclusive of nonrecurring items, net income for fiscal 1996 would
have been $1.03 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to net income for
fiscal 1995 of $.80 per share, an increase of 28.8 percent.
YEAR-END COMPARISONS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994:
SALES
SALES for fiscal 1995 were a record $422,188,000, representing an increase of
$45,217,000, or 12.0 percent, over fiscal 1994. This increase was attributable
to net salon openings, acquisitions, and increases in same-store sales. Domestic
salons accounted for $38,611,000 of the total sales increase. The balance of the
overall sales increase of $6,606,000 related to the Company's International
salons.
For fiscal 1995, sales from Regis Hairstylists were $257,161,000, an increase of
3.6 percent; sales from MasterCuts salons were $70,510,000, an increase of 18.6
percent; Trade Secret company-owned sales were $46,476,000, an increase of 51.8
percent; and International salon sales were $43,463,000, an increase of 17.9
percent.
Same-store sales from Domestic salons open for more than 12 months increased an
average of 4.2 percent, compared to a 3.4 percent increase the previous year.
Same-store sales for the United Kingdom salons, the primary component of
International salons, increased 11.2 percent during the year. Same-store sales
increases achieved during fiscal 1995 were primarily due to an increase in the
number of customers served. A total of 27,142,000 customers were served in
fiscal 1995, an increase of 10.2 percent, from 24,634,000 customers served in
fiscal 1994.
SERVICE SALES in fiscal 1995 were $306,298,000, an increase of $19,765,000, or
6.9 percent, over fiscal 1994. This increase was primarily due to net salon
openings and increases in customers served.
PRODUCT SALES in fiscal 1995 were $111,312,000, an increase of $22,777,000, or
25.7 percent, over fiscal 1994. The Trade Secret retail product salon operations
represented $14,555,000 of this overall increase, reflecting the full year
impact of the Trade Secret acquisition, additional acquisitions in the current
year and net salon openings. Product sales for the Company's Regis Hairstylists
and MasterCuts salons were $61,878,000, and represented 18.9 percent of their
fiscal 1995 sales, up from 18.0 percent in fiscal 1994, reflecting increased
customer awareness and further acceptance of national brand salon merchandise
and sales training of Company associates.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales in fiscal 1995 was $238,810,000, compared to $216,266,000 in
fiscal 1994. The resulting combined gross margin for fiscal 1995 improved to
42.8 percent, compared to 42.3 percent in fiscal 1994. This improvement is due
to several factors, the most significant of which is an increase in the
percentage of product sales in Regis Hairstylists and MasterCuts, which
generally have a higher gross profit margin than service sales. Salary and
commissions paid to hairstylists, the major component of cost of sales, also
favorably improved in fiscal 1995 due to the increase in sales from MasterCuts
salons which have lower payroll costs than Regis Hairstylists salons.
Service margins of 41.4 percent in fiscal 1995 are equal to the previous year.
Retail product margins improved during fiscal 1995 to 46.7 percent, compared to
45.5 percent during fiscal 1994. The lower margins in fiscal 1994 were due to
the Trade Secret acquisition, as Trade Secret salons experienced higher payroll
costs due to new store openings
(18) REGIS CORPORATION 1996
<PAGE>
and training. In addition, product costs in the Trade Secret division were
higher during the transition period immediately following the fiscal 1994
acquisition and did not reflect the full benefit of the Company's purchasing
power.
RENT EXPENSE
Rent expense in fiscal 1995 was $53,745,000, or 12.9 percent of sales, compared
to $48,622,000, or 13.0 percent of sales, in fiscal 1994. The improvement is due
primarily to strong same-store sales performance in fiscal 1995.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Selling, general and administrative expense in fiscal 1995 was $79,398,000, or
19.0 percent of sales, compared to $70,555,000, or 18.8 percent of sales, in
fiscal 1994. The slight increase is primarily due to an increase in worker's
compensation insurance and certain discretionary payments made to employee
benefit plans in response to the Company's strong operating performance in
fiscal 1995.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 1995 was 3.5 percent of sales,
compared to 3.6 percent in fiscal 1994. This improvement relates primarily to
strong same-store sales increases. Depreciation expense, the major component
within this category, is principally associated with the Company's salon
equipment and leasehold improvements.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income in fiscal 1995 improved to $30,329,000, an increase of
$5,291,000 over fiscal 1994. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased
60 basis points to 7.3 percent in fiscal 1995 compared to 6.7 percent in fiscal
1994. This improvement is attributable primarily to increased same-store sales
in fiscal 1995 and improved gross margins. Operating income improvement in the
U.K. salons was offset by a decrease in the South African salons operating
income.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for fiscal 1995 was $6,465,000, or 1.5 percent of sales, down
from $7,432,000, or 2.0 percent of sales, in fiscal 1994. This improvement
reflects the effect of principal reductions in senior notes and lower average
balances on the Company's revolving line of credit facility throughout fiscal
1995.
NONRECURRING ITEMS
During fiscal 1995, the Company received a $2,500,000 cash settlement associated
with its directors' and officers' insurance claim. Certain other negative events
also occurred in fiscal 1995 with respect to the Company's investment in and
advances to Premier Salons, which caused the Company to re-evaluate and write
off the net carrying value ($2,305,000) of all remaining net assets associated
with the fiscal 1994 MEI litigation settlement. In addition, during fiscal 1995,
the Company issued 93,220 shares on a pre-split basis of its common stock to the
bankruptcy creditors of MEI as final resolution of the stock guarantee. This was
fewer shares than the Company originally estimated when the transaction was
recorded the previous year, which resulted in a $500,000 pretax gain. As a
result of these transactions, the Company recorded a $695,000 pretax gain during
the first and second quarters of the year ended June 30, 1995 and adjusted the
amounts previously recorded by decreasing shareholders' equity by $500,000.
During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995, the Company received
$500,000 of principal payments from Premier Salons under the note agreement. The
Company had previously written off the related receivable, and accordingly, has
recorded these recoveries as nonrecurring gains. There is no assurance that such
recoveries will continue.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal 1995 was 42.0 percent of
pretax income, compared to 42.7 percent in fiscal 1994. The decrease in the
effective rate is attributable to the Company's ability to utilize South African
losses to offset U.K. taxable income during fiscal 1995.
NET INCOME
Net income for fiscal 1995 improved to $14,651,000, or $.84 per share on a fully
diluted basis, compared to net income for fiscal 1994 of $4,053,000, or $.26 per
share. Exclusive of the effect of nonrecurring items, net income for fiscal 1995
would have been $.80 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to net income
for fiscal 1994 of $.63 per share, an increase of 27.0 percent.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Company has generally been protected against inflationary increases, as
payroll expense and related benefits (the Company's major expense components)
for Regis Hairstylists and International salon associates are primarily variable
costs of sales. The Company compensates the great majority of its hairstylists
with a percentage commission based on the sales they generate, thereby enabling
salon payroll expense, as a percentage of sales, to remain relatively constant.
The Company does not believe inflation has had a significant impact on the
results of operations for the MasterCuts or Trade Secret divisions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Customers generally pay for salon services and merchandise in cash at the time
of sale, which reduces the Company's working capital requirements. Net cash
provided by operating activities (before capital expenditures and debt principal
repayments) in fiscal 1996 increased to $36,918,000, compared to $30,651,000
during the same period the previous year. The increase between the two periods
was primarily due to improved operating performance in fiscal 1996.
During fiscal 1996, the Company had worldwide capital expenditures of
$39,607,000, of which $13,517,000 related to acquisitions. The Company
constructed 116 new salons (31 Regis Hairstylists, 33 MasterCuts, 40 Trade
Secret, 3 Wal-Mart and 9 International) and acquired 383 salons. The Company
also completed 65 major remodeling projects, including 10 conversions of
existing salons to another salon concept. All capital expenditures during fiscal
1996 were funded by the Company's operations and borrowings under its revolving
credit facilities.
The Company anticipates its worldwide salon development program for fiscal 1997
will include a minimum of 150 new salons and 60 major remodeling and conversion
projects. It is expected that expenditures for these new salons and other
projects will be approximately $28,000,000 in fiscal 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
In September 1995, the Company completed the acquisitions of Essanelle Limited
(Essanelle) and S&L du Lac. The $6,300,000 aggregate purchase price was paid to
the selling shareholder in cash at closing. Additionally, the Company made a
$992,000 cash payment at closing to Essanelle to facilitate the payoff of
existing debt of Essanelle. The purchase price was funded through a combination
of proceeds from the issuance of the Company's common stock and long-term debt
issued by banks.
In January 1996, the Company completed the acquisitions of Steiner Salons
Limited and Steiner Hairdressing Limited. The $2,800,000 aggregate purchase
price was paid to the selling shareholder in cash at closing. The purchase price
was funded with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and
long-term debt from banks.
In June 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of National Hair Care
Centers, LLC. Of the $12,257,000 aggregate purchase price, $10,364,000 was paid
in cash at closing and the balance was settled by the Company's issuance of a
note for $1,797,000 and a $96,000 noncompete agreement. The cash portion of
the purchase price was funded with proceeds from the sale of 200,000 shares
of common stock and a $5,000,000 senior term note.
In February 1996, the Company issued a $10,000,000 senior note, bearing interest
at 6.94 percent, due in July 2005. Proceeds associated with this borrowing were
utilized to refinance the $10,000,000 principal payment on the senior notes paid
in June 1996. In June 1996, the Company issued a $5,000,000 senior note, bearing
interest at 7.99 percent, due in July 2003. Proceeds associated with this
borrowing were utilized to partially fund the acquisition of National Hair Care
Centers, LLC. The agreement under which the notes were issued contains financial
and restrictive covenants similar to those contained in the Company's existing
senior notes.
In connection with the U.K. acquisitions, the Company's U.K. subsidiary entered
into various term notes, denominated in pounds sterling, primarily with U.K.
banks which have interest rates ranging from 4 percent fixed to the LIBOR rate
plus 2.5 percent and are subject to annual mandatory principal repayments until
July 2000. These U.K. notes contain covenants applicable to the U.K. subsidiary,
including limitations on incurring debt, investments, mergers or consolidations
and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the U.K. subsidiary must maintain
certain interest coverage and debt-to-equity ratios.
During fiscal 1996, the Company repaid the outstanding principal amount of
$2,187,500 of subordinated debt associated with the financing of the Beauty
Express acquisition. In addition, the Company's subordinated convertible
debenture of $2,812,500 was also converted to 375,000 shares, on a pre-split
basis, of the Company's common stock.
The Company has renewed its existing revolving credit facility and cash
management program. Under terms of this renewal, the revolving credit facility
allows for borrowings of up to $20,000,000, bears interest at the prime rate,
and matures in October 1998. The facility also allows for borrowings bearing
interest at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a LIBOR margin up to 1.50 percent. The
revolving credit facility requires a quarterly commitment fee of 1/4 percent per
annum on the unused portion of the facility. The renewed credit agreement
contains certain financial and restrictive covenants similar to those in the
Company's senior debt agreement. As of June 30, 1996, borrowings of $9,100,000
were outstanding under this credit facility.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding $24,000,000 of 11.52 percent
fixed-rate senior notes after repayments of $10,000,000 and $9,000,000 of the
notes during fiscal years 1996 and 1995, respectively. The notes require annual
mandatory repayments of $10,000,000 in June 1997 and $14,000,000 in June 1998.
The notes contain certain financial and restrictive covenants (see
Note 5 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and carry a
substantial penalty based on yield maintenance in the event of voluntary
prepayment.
Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company signed a merger agreement with
Supercuts, Inc., which is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-
interests. Supercuts is a national operator and franchisor of over 1,150
affordable hair care salons. (See Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional details.)
Transactions by the Company's International salons are invoiced and paid in
local currency. Accordingly, the Company is subject to risks associated with
fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Management believes that cash generated from operations and amounts available
under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund its anticipated
capital expenditures and required debt repayments for the foreseeable future.
The Company paid dividends of $.07 per share during fiscal 1996. The Company did
not pay dividends during fiscal 1995 due to debt covenant restrictions. On
August 13, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the payment of
a $.02 per share quarterly dividend payable to shareholders of record on August
23, 1996.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of",
was issued in March 1995 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. The Company believes implementation of this accounting
standard in fiscal 1997 will not have a material impact on earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION:
Regis Corporation (the Company) owns and operates hairstyling and hair care
salons throughout the United States and in a number of other countries,
principally the United Kingdom (U.K.). Substantially all of the hairstyling and
hair care salons owned and operated by the Company in the United States are
located in leased space in enclosed mall shopping centers. During 1994, through
the acquisition of Trade Secret, the Company entered the franchising business
(Note 3).
At June 30, 1996, approximately 33 percent of the Company's outstanding common
stock is owned by Curtis Squire, Inc. (CSI), which is a holding company
controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and
approximately 7 percent is owned by management and the Company's benefit plans.
CONSOLIDATION:
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. In consolidation, all material intercompany accounts
and transactions are eliminated.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:
Financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company's
international subsidiaries are measured using local currency as the functional
currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the
exchange rates in effect at each fiscal year end. Income statement accounts are
translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year.
Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from
period to period are included in the cumulative translation account in
shareholders' equity.
FRANCHISE REVENUES AND EXPENSES:
Franchise revenues include royalties and initial franchise fees from
franchisees, and product sales made by the Company to franchisees. Royalties
are recognized as revenue in the month in which franchisee services are rendered
or products are sold by franchisees. The Company recognizes revenues from
initial franchise fees at the time franchisee retail product salons are opened.
Product sales by the Company to franchisees are recorded as revenue at the time
product is shipped to franchisee locations. Franchise expenses include all
direct expenses, such as the cost of product sold to franchisees by the Company,
salaries, marketing costs, and an allocation of general corporate overhead and
occupancy expenses.
CASH EQUIVALENTS:
The Company considers its investments in all highly liquid debt instruments with
original maturities of 3 months or less at date of purchase to be cash
equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories consist principally of hair care products held either for use in
salon services or for sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market with cost determined on the first-in, first-out method.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are
computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives (shorter
of asset life or lease term for leasehold improvements).
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals and betterments
which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed.
All other expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The assets
and related depreciation accounts are adjusted for property retirements and
disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in income. Fully depreciated
assets remain in the accounts until retired from service.
GOODWILL:
Goodwill recorded in connection with the fiscal 1989 purchase of the publicly
held minority interest in the Company and with the acquisitions of business
operations in which the Company has not previously been involved is amortized on
a straight-line basis generally over 40 years. Goodwill recorded in
connection with acquisitions which expand the Company's existing business
activities (acquisition of salon sites) is amortized on a straight-line basis
generally over 12 to 17 years depending upon the lease terms of the
salon sites acquired. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of
goodwill based on analyses of estimated future undiscounted cash flows.
CONSULTING AND NONCOMPETE ASSETS:
Consulting and noncompete assets recorded in connection with the Company's
various acquisitions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
agreement generally from 3 to 10 years.
PREOPENING COSTS:
Advertising, sales promotion and expenditures associated with the opening of new
salon locations are charged to operations as incurred.
INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates in effect for
the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense
is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred
tax assets and liabilities.
REGIS CORPORATION 1996 (25)
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NET INCOME PER SHARE:
Primary and fully diluted net income per common and common equivalent share has
been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding for each period presented using the
modified treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares relate primarily to
incentive stock options granted to employees.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
STOCK SPLIT:
In May 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a three-for-two stock
split in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend distributed on June 4, 1996 to
shareholders of record on May 20, 1996. All per share and number of share data
have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split, except for the
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.

throughout the United States and perform hairstyling services and offer hair
care products. Of the $ 12,257,000 purchase price, $10,364,000 was paid in cash
at closing and the balance was settled by the Company's issuance of a note for
$1,797,000 and a $96,000 noncompete agreement. The cost in excess of net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was approximately
$6,900,000 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years.
(26) REGIS CORPORATION 1996
<PAGE>
U.K. ACQUISITIONS:
In September 1995, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of common stock
of Essanelle Limited and S&L DuLac, Inc. which operate 87 hairstyling salons in
major department stores throughout the U.K. (79 salons) and Switzerland (8
salons). The $6,300,000 aggregate purchase price was paid in cash at closing.
The cost in excess of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired
was approximately $6,600,000 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over 15 years.
In January 1996, the Company acquired 91 salons from Steiner Salons Limited and
Steiner Hairdressing Limited operating throughout the U.K. The $2,824,000
aggregate purchase price was paid in cash at closing. The cost in excess of net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is approximately $2,600,000
and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.
TRADE SECRET:
Effective December 1, 1993, the Company acquired 24 company-owned Trade Secret
retail product salons and the franchisor's rights for 64 franchised Trade Secret
salons. Trade Secret salons, which are located in enclosed mall shopping
centers throughout the United States, offer hair care and beauty products and
perform hairstyling services. Of the $11,983,000 aggregate purchase price,
$8,036,000 was paid in cash at closing and the balance was settled by the
Company's issuance of a note for $3,947,000. The cost in excess of net tangible
and identifiable intangible assets acquired was approximately $11,500,000 and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
OTHER:
During 1995 and 1996, the Company made numerous additional acquisitions,
aggregating 35 and 51 hairstyling and retail product salons, respectively. The
cost in excess of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was
approximately $4,700,000 and $5,900,000 in 1995 and 1996, respectively, and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of up to 17 years. Of the
$7,225,000 aggregate purchase price associated with these acquisitions in 1995,
$2,928,000 was paid in cash at closing, $1,403,000 is payable during the next
5 years and 184,442 shares, on a pre-split basis, of common stock were
issued by the Company. Of the $9,234,000 aggregate purchase price associated
with these acquisitions in 1996, $7,430,000 was paid in cash at closing and
$1,804,000 is payable during the next 3 years.
The following represents the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the
Company as if the previously described 1996 acquisitions and related common
stock activity had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1996, as well as at the
beginning of the immediately preceding fiscal year:

</TABLE>
These pro forma results may not be indicative of results that actually would
have occurred had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the periods
presented or of results which may occur in the future.
All of the aforementioned acquisitions have been recorded using the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase prices have been allocated to
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at
the date of acquisition.
PENDING MERGER:
Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company signed a merger agreement with
Supercuts, Inc. in a stock-for-stock merger transaction. Supercuts is a national
operator and franchisor of over 1,150 affordable hair care salons. The
agreement calls for each Supercuts shareholder to receive 0.40 shares of the
Company's common stock in exchange for each Supercuts, Inc. common share, or
approximately 4,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted
basis. The transaction is intended to be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.
4. RESOLUTION OF LITIGATION:
During fiscal 1994, the Company resolved its litigation with a former joint
venture partner, MEI Diversified Inc. (MEI), resulting in both parties
terminating all claims against each other and causing the Company to record a
$10,000,000 pretax charge. The primary components of the $10,000,000 charge are
$7,625,000 for the estimated value of the incremental shares required to be
issued to the bankruptcy creditors of MEI and $2,850,000 for the valuation
allowance associated with the GEMM receivable as described below. As part of
the resolution, the Company issued 500,000 shares, on a pre-split basis, of its
common stock to the bankruptcy creditors of MEI and guaranteed that the value of
the stock issued would reach $8,750,000, or $17.50 per share, within 12 months.
The guarantee required the Company to issue up to an additional 200,000 shares,
on a pre-split basis, of its common stock to satisfy any deficiency in value.
In fiscal 1994, as part of the litigation resolution, the Company
REGIS CORPORATION 1996 (27)
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
advanced $5,850,000 to GEMM, Inc. (Premier Salons) to finance that company's
acquisition of salons from the bankruptcy creditors of MEI. In return, the
Company received 1,000,000 shares of $6 par value per share preferred stock
of Premier Salons and a note receivable of $5,850,000, bearing interest at an
annual rate of prime plus 1/2 percent. Of the note receivable balance,
$850,000 was paid in March 1994 and the remaining balance of $5,000,000 is
due in 60 monthly installments, commencing in January 1995. The note is
partially collateralized by a department store license agreement and
underlying operating assets.
During fiscal 1995, the Company received a $2,500,000 cash settlement
associated with its directors and officers insurance claim. Certain other
negative events also occurred in fiscal 1995 with respect to the Company's
investment in and advances to Premier Salons which caused the Company to
re-evaluate and write off the net carrying value ($2,305,000) of all
remaining net assets associated with the fiscal 1994 MEI litigation
settlement. In addition, during fiscal 1995, the Company issued 93,220
shares, on a pre-split basis, of its common stock to the bankruptcy creditors
of MEI as final resolution of the stock guarantee. This was fewer shares than
the Company originally estimated when the transaction was recorded the
previous year which resulted in a $500,000 pretax gain. As a result of these
transactions, the Company recorded a $695,000 pretax gain during the first
and second quarters of the year ended June 30, 1995 and adjusted the amounts
previously recorded by decreasing shareholders' equity by $500,000.
During fiscal 1996 and the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995, the
Company received $700,000 and $500,000, respectively, of principal payments
from Premier Salons under the note agreement. The Company had previously
written off the related receivable, and accordingly, has recorded these
recoveries as nonrecurring gains. There is no assurance that such recoveries
will continue.
5. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:
The Company's long-term debt consists of the following at June 30, 1995 and
1996:
(Dollars in thousands)

Less current portion (11,990) (13,668)
-----------------
Long-term portion $37,969 $49,717
-----------------
-----------------
At June 30, 1996, the senior term notes consist of 3 note agreements: a
$24,000,000 note, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 11.52 percent which is
subject to annual mandatory repayments of principal until final maturity in
June 1998; a $10,000,000 note, bearing interest at a fixed 6.94 percent,
which is due in July 2005; and a $5,000,000 note, bearing interest at a fixed
7.99 percent, which is due in June 2003.
The Company renewed its revolving credit facility in June 1996. Under terms
of this renewal, the revolving credit facility allows for borrowings, based
on continuing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit
facility, of up to $20,000,000, bears interest at the prime rate, and matures
in October 1998. The prime rate at June 30, 1996 was 8.25 percent. The
facility also allows for borrowings bearing interest at an adjusted LIBOR
rate plus a LIBOR margin up to 1.50 percent. The revolving credit facility
requires a quarterly commitment fee at the rate of 1/4 percent per year on
the unused portion of the facility.
The senior term notes and the revolving credit facility agreements contain
covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt, granting of liens,
investments, merger or consolidation, and transactions with affiliates. In
addition, the Company must maintain specified interest coverage and
debt-to-equity ratios.
The Company's subordinated debt consists primarily of a subordinated
promissory note for $2,782,000 associated with the Trade Secret acquisition,
which bears interest at 8 percent per year and requires monthly payments over
7 years.
In connection with the U.K. acquisitions (Note 3), the Company's U.K.
subsidiary has various term notes, denominated in pounds sterling, primarily
with U.K. banks (U.K. notes) bearing interest at rates varying from 4 percent
to the LIBOR rate plus 2.5 percent and are subject to annual mandatory
principal repayments until final maturity in July 2000. The LIBOR rate at
June 30, 1996 was 5.875 percent.
The U.K. notes contain covenants applicable to the U.K. subsidiary, including
limitations on incurring debt, investments, merger or consolidation and
transactions with affiliates. In addition, the U.K. subsidiary must maintain
certain interest coverage and debt-to-equity ratios.
The fair value of the senior term and subordinated notes based upon a
discounted cash flow analysis using the Company's current incremental
borrowing rate approximates their carrying values at June 30, 1996.
Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows:
Fiscal Year (Dollars in thousands)
1997 $13,668
1998 17,775

6. COMMITMENTS:
OPERATING LEASES:
The Company is committed under long-term operating leases for the rental of
most of its salon locations. The terms of the leases range from 1 to 20
years, with many leases renewable for an additional 5- to 10-year term at the
option of the Company, and certain leases include escalation provisions. The
Company is generally required to pay additional rent based on a percentage of
sales and, in most cases, real estate taxes and other expenses. Rent expense
for the Company's international department store salons is based primarily on
a percentage of sales.

The Company's Stock Option Plan (the Plan), as amended, provides for granting
both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. A total of
1,650,000 shares of common stock may be granted under the Plan to employees
of the Company for a term not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant. The
Plan contains restrictions on transferability, time of exercise, exercise
price and on disposition of any shares acquired through exercise of the
options. Incentive stock options are granted at not less than fair market
value on the date of grant. The Board of Directors determines the Plan
participants and establishes the terms and conditions of each option.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, a new standard of accounting and
reporting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company is not required to
adopt the new standard until fiscal 1997. The Company will continue to
measure compensation cost, if any, for its stock option plans using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting it has

historically used. Therefore, the new standard will have no effect on the
Company's operating results. The Company's financial statement disclosures
will be expanded in fiscal 1997, as required, to include pro forma
disclosures as if the fair value based method of accounting had been followed.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN:
The Company also has a stock option plan for its outside directors. Options
to purchase 63,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $4.00 to
$17.67 per share have been granted through 1996. All options vest over a
4-year period. At June 30, 1996, there were 23,625 options exercisable at
prices ranging from $4.00 to $12.37 per share. During fiscal 1996, 5,625
options were exercised.
OTHER:
The Company has established several unfunded deferred compensation plans
which cover certain management and executive personnel. The amounts charged
to earnings for these plans were $106,000 in 1994, $128,000 in 1995 and
$379,000 in 1996.
The Company has a survivor benefit plan for the Chairman of the Board's
spouse, payable upon his death, at a rate of $300,000 annually, adjusted for
inflation. The Company has the ability and intent to fund future payments
through certain life insurance policies on the Chairman of the Board.
9. GEOGRAPHIC BUSINESS OPERATIONS:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Directors of
Regis Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Regis
Corporation as of June 30, 1995 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for
the years ended June 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Regis
Corporation as of June 30, 1995 and 1996, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1994, 1995 and
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
