PART I

Item 1.    Business

Unless the context otherwise provides, when we refer to the "Company," "we," "our," or "us," we are referring to Regis Corporation, the
Registrant, together with its subsidiaries.

(a)   General Development of Business

In 1922, Paul and Florence Kunin opened Kunin Beauty Salon, which quickly expanded into a chain of value priced salons located in department stores. In 1958, the
chain was purchased by their son and renamed Regis Corporation. In December 2004, the Company purchased Hair Club for Men and Women. On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed its 51
wholly-owned accredited cosmetology schools to Empire Education Group, Inc (EEG). On January 31, 2008, the Company merged its continental European franchise salon operations with the operations
of the Franck Provost Salon Group. On February 20, 2008, the Company acquired the capital stock of Cameron Capital I, Inc. (CCI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cameron Capital
Investments, Inc. CCI owned and operated PureBeauty and BeautyFirst salons. On February 16, 2009, the Company sold its Trade Secret salon concept (Trade Secret), which included CCI.
Additionally, the Company continues to acquire hair and retail product salons. Regis Corporation is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "RGS." Discussions of the general development of the
business take place throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(b)   Financial Information about Segments

Segment data for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are included in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II,

Background:

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Company's primary business is owning, operating and franchising hair and retail product salons. In
addition to the primary hair and retail product salons, the Company owns Hair Club for Men and Women, a provider of hair restoration services. As of June 30, 2010, the Company owned, franchised
or held ownership interests in over 12,700 worldwide locations. The Company's locations consisted of 9,929 company-owned and franchise salons, 95 hair restoration centers, and 2,704 locations in which
the Company maintains an ownership interest of less than 100 percent. Each of the Company's salon concepts offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market consumer
marketplace. The Company's hair restoration centers offer three hair restoration solutions; hair systems, hair transplants and hair therapy, which are targeted at the mass market consumer.

The
Company is organized to manage its operations based on significant lines of businesssalons and hair restoration centers. Salon operations are managed based on
geographical locationNorth America and international. The Company's North American salon operations are comprised of 7,505 company-owned salons and 2,020 franchise salons operating
in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company's international operations are comprised of 404 company-owned salons. The Company's worldwide salon locations operate primarily under the
trade names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, SmartStyle, Supercuts, Cost Cutters, and Sassoon. The Company's hair restoration centers are located in the United States and Canada. During fiscal year 2010,
the number of customer visits at the Company's company-owned salons approximated 94 million. The Company had approximately 56,000 corporate employees worldwide during fiscal year 2010.

On
August 1, 2007, the Company contributed 51 of its wholly-owned accredited cosmetology schools to EEG in exchange for a 49.0 percent equity interest in EEG. EEG is the
largest beauty school operator in North America with 96 accredited cosmetology schools with revenues of approximately $175 million annually and is overseen by the Empire Beauty School
management team.

In
January 2008, the Company's effective ownership interest increased to 55.1 percent related to the buyout of EEG's minority interest shareholder. The Company will continue to
account for the investment in EEG under the equity method of accounting as Empire Beauty School retains majority voting interest and has full responsibility for managing EEG. Refer to Note 6 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

On
January 31, 2008, the Company merged its continental European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group in exchange for a
30.0 percent equity interest in the newly formed Provalliance entity (Provalliance). The merger with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group which are also located in continental
Europe, created Europe's largest salon operator with approximately 2,500 company-owned and franchise salons as of June 30, 2010.

The
Company contributed to Provalliance the shares of each of its European operating subsidiaries, other than the Company's operating subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Germany. The
contributed subsidiaries operate retail hair salons in France, Spain, Switzerland and several other European countries primarily under the Jean Louis David and Saint Algue
brands. This transaction has created significant growth opportunities for Europe's salon brands. The Franck Provost Salon Group management structure has a proven platform to build and acquire
company-owned stores as well as a strong franchise operating group that is positioned for expansion. The Company recorded a $25.7 million "other-than-temporary"
impairment charge in its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009 on its investment in Provalliance as a result of increased debt and reduced earnings expectations that reduced the fair value of
Provalliance below carrying value as of June 30, 2009.

On
February 16, 2009, the Company sold Trade Secret. The Company concluded, after a comprehensive review of its strategic and financial options, to divest Trade Secret. The sale
of Trade

Secret
included 655 company-owned salons and 57 franchise salons, all of which had historically been reported within the Company's North America reportable segment. The Company recorded an
impairment charge related to this transaction of $183.3 million during the year ended June 30, 2009.

Industry Overview:

Management estimates that annual revenues of the hair care industry are approximately $50 to $55 billion in the United States
and approximately $150 to $170 billion worldwide. The Company estimates that it holds approximately two percent of the worldwide market. The hair salon and hair restoration markets are each
highly fragmented, with the vast majority of locations independently owned and operated. However, the influence of salon chains on these markets, both franchise and company-owned, has increased
substantially. Management believes that salon chains will continue to have a significant influence on these markets and will continue to increase their presence. As the Company is the principal
consolidator of these chains in the hair care industry, it prevails as an established exit strategy for independent salon owners and operators, which affords the Company numerous opportunities for
continued selective acquisitions.

Salon Business Strategy:

The Company's goal is to provide high quality, affordable hair care services and products to a wide range of mass market consumers,
which enables the Company to expand in a controlled manner. The key elements of the Company's strategy to achieve these goals are taking advantage of (1) growth opportunities,
(2) economies of scale and (3) centralized control over salon operations in order to ensure (i) consistent, quality services and (ii) a superior selection of high quality,
professional products. Each of these elements is discussed below.

Salon Growth Opportunities.The Company's salon expansion strategy focuses on organic (new salon construction and same-store
sales growth
of existing salons) and salon acquisition growth.

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 has developed a comprehensive point of sale system to accumulate and monitor service and product sales trends, as well as assist in payroll and cash
management. Economies of scale are realized through the centralized support system offered by the home office. Additionally, due to its size, the Company has numerous financing and capital expenditure
alternatives, as well as the benefits of buying retail products, supplies and salon fixtures directly from manufacturers. Furthermore, the Company can offer employee benefit programs, training and
career path opportunities that are often superior to its smaller competitors.

Centralized Control Over Salon Operations.The Company manages its expansive salon base through a combination of area and
regional supervisors,
corporate salon directors and chief operating officers. Each area supervisor is responsible for the management of approximately ten to 12 salons. Regional supervisors oversee the performance of five
to seven area supervisors or approximately 50 to 80 salons. Salon directors manage approximately 200 to 300 salons while chief operating officers are responsible for the oversight of an entire salon
concept. This operational hierarchy is key to the Company's ability to expand successfully. In addition, the Company has an extensive training program, including the production of training DVDs for
use in the salons, to ensure its stylists are knowledgeable in the latest haircutting and fashion trends and provide consistent quality hair care services. Finally, the Company tracks salon activity
for all of its company-owned salons through the utilization of daily sales detail
delivered from the salons' point of sale system. This information is used to reconcile cash on a daily basis.

Salon Concepts:

The Company's salon concepts focus on providing high quality hair care services and professional products, primarily to the middle
consumer market. The Company's North American salon operations consist of 9,525 salons (including 2,020 franchise salons), operating under several concepts, each offering attractive and
affordable hair care products and services in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company's international salon operations consist of 404 hair care salons located in Europe, primarily in
the United Kingdom. The number of new salons expected to be opened within the upcoming fiscal year is discussed within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations. In addition to these openings, the Company typically acquires several hundred salons each year. The number of acquired salons, and the concept under which the acquisitions will fall, vary
based on the acquisition opportunities which develop throughout the year.

In
the preceding table, relocations represent a transfer of location by the same salon concept and conversions represent the transfer of one concept to another concept.

Regis Salons.Regis Salons are primarily mall based, full service salons providing complete hair care and beauty services aimed at
moderate to
upscale, fashion conscious consumers. In recent years, the Company has expanded its Regis Salons into strip centers. As of June 30, 2010, of the 1,049 total Regis Salons, 157 Regis Salons were
located in strip centers. The customer mix at Regis Salons is approximately 78 percent women and both appointments and walk-in customers are common. These salons offer a full range
of custom styling, cutting, hair coloring and waving services, as well as, professional hair care products. Service revenues represent approximately 84 percent of the concept's total revenues.
The average ticket is approximately $41. Regis Salons compete in their existing markets primarily by emphasizing the high quality of the services provided. Included within the Regis Salon concept are
various other trade names, including Carlton Hair, Sassoon, Mia & Maxx Hair Studios, Hair by Stewarts and Heidi's.

The
average initial capital investment required for a new Regis Salon is approximately $175,000 to $225,000, excluding average opening inventory costs of approximately $19,100. Average
annual salon revenues in a Regis Salon which has been open five years or more are approximately $411,000.

MasterCuts.MasterCuts is a full service, mall based salon group which focuses on the walk-in consumer (no appointment necessary) that
demands moderately priced hair care services. MasterCuts salons emphasize quality hair care services, affordable prices and time saving services for the entire family. These salons offer a full range
of custom styling, cutting, hair coloring and waving services as well as professional hair care products. The customer mix at MasterCuts is split relatively evenly between men and women. Service
revenues compose approximately 82 percent of the concept's total revenues. The average ticket is approximately $21.

exclusively
in Wal-Mart Supercenters. SmartStyle has a walk-in customer base, pricing is promotional and services are focused on the family. These salons offer a full range of custom
styling, cutting, hair coloring and waving services as well as professional hair care products. The customer mix at SmartStyle Salons is approximately 76 percent women. Professional retail
product sales contribute considerably to overall revenues at approximately 34 percent. Additionally, the Company has 119 franchise salons located in Wal-Mart Supercenters.

Strip Center Salons.The Company's Strip Center Salons are comprised of company-owned and franchise salons operating in strip centers
across North
America under the following concepts:

Supercuts.The Supercuts concept provides consistent, high quality hair care services and professional products to its customers
at convenient times
and locations and at a reasonable price. This concept appeals to men, women and children, although male customers account for approximately 65 percent of the customer mix. Service revenues
represent approximately 89 percent of total company-owned Supercuts revenues. The average ticket is approximately $17.

The
average initial capital investment required for a new Supercuts salon is approximately $110,000 to $120,000, excluding average opening inventory costs of approximately $8,100.
Average annual salon revenues in a company-owned Supercuts salon which has been open five years or more are approximately $269,000.

The
Supercuts franchise salons provide consistent, high quality hair care services and professional products to customers at convenient times and locations and at a reasonable price.
These Supercuts franchise salons appeal to men, women and children. Service revenues represent approximately 93 percent of the Supercuts franchise total revenues. Average annual revenues in a
Supercuts franchise salon which has been open five years or more are approximately $332,000.

Cost Cutters (franchise salons).The Cost Cutters concept is a full service salon concept providing value priced hair care
services for men, women
and children. These full service salons also sell a complete line of professional hair care products. The customer mix at Cost Cutters is split relatively evenly between men and women. Average annual
salon revenues in a franchised Cost Cutters salon which has been open five years or more are approximately $277,000.

In
addition to the franchise salons, the Company operates company-owned Cost Cutters salons, as discussed below under Promenade Salons.

years operating under
the primary concepts of Hair Masters, Cool Cuts for Kids, Style America, First Choice Haircutters, Famous Hair, Cost Cutters, BoRics, Magicuts, Holiday Hair and TGF, as well as other concept names.
Most concepts offer a full range of custom hairstyling, cutting, coloring and waving, as well as hair care products. Hair Masters offers moderately-priced services to a predominately female
demographic, while the other concepts primarily cater to time-pressed, value-oriented families. The customer mix is split relatively evenly between men

a complete line of professional hair care products. In addition to these franchise salons, the Company operates company-owned First Choice Haircutters and Magicuts salons, as previously discussed
above under Strip Center Salons.

International Salons.The Company's international salons are comprised of company-owned salons operating in the United Kingdom
primarily under the
Supercuts, Regis and Sassoon concepts. These salons offer similar levels of service as the North American salons previously mentioned. However, the initial capital investment required is typically
between £135,000, and £145,000, for a Regis salon, between £55,000 and £65,000 for a Supercuts salon. Average annual salon revenues for a salon which
has been open five years or more are approximately £222,000 in a Regis salon and £209,000 in a Supercuts salon. Sassoon is one of the world's most recognized names in hair
fashion and appeals to women and men looking for a prestigious full service hair salon. Salons are usually located on prominent high-street locations and offer a full range of custom
hairstyling, cutting, coloring and waving, as well as professional hair care products. The initial capital investment required is approximately £450,000. Average annual salon revenues for
a salon which has been open five years or more is approximately £882,000.

Salon Franchising Program:

General.The Company has various franchising programs supporting its 2,020 franchise salons as of June 30, 2010,
consisting mainly of
Supercuts, Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters, Magicuts, and Pro Cuts. These salons have been included in the discussions regarding salon counts and concepts on the preceding pages.

The
Company provides its franchisees with a comprehensive system of business training, stylist education, site approval and lease negotiation, professional marketing, promotion and
advertising programs, and other forms of support designed to help the franchisee build a successful business.

Standards of Operations.The Company does not control the day to day operations of its franchisees, including hiring and firing,
establishing prices
to charge for products and services, business hours, personnel management and capital expenditure decisions. However, the franchise agreements afford certain rights to the Company, such as the right
to approve location, suppliers and the sale of a franchise. Additionally, franchisees are required to conform to the Company's established operational policies and procedures relating to quality of
service, training, design and decor of stores, and trademark usage. The Company's field personnel make periodic visits to franchise stores to ensure that the stores are operating in conformity with
the standards for each franchising program. All of the rights afforded the Company with regard to the franchise operations allow the Company to protect its brands, but do not allow the Company to
control the franchise operations or make decisions that have a significant impact on the success of the franchise salons.

To
further ensure conformity, the Company may enter into the lease for the store site directly with the landlord, and subsequently sublease the site to the franchisee. The franchise
agreement and sublease provide the Company with the right to terminate the sublease and gain possession of the store

if
the franchisee fails to comply with the Company's operational policies and procedures. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the Company's
commitments and contingencies, including leases.

Franchise Terms.Pursuant to their franchise agreement with the Company, each franchisee pays an initial fee for each store and
ongoing royalties to
the Company. In addition, for most franchise concepts, the Company collects advertising funds from franchisees and administers the funds on behalf of the concept. Franchisees are responsible for the
costs of leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, inventory, payroll costs and certain other items, including initial working capital.

Additional
information regarding each of the major franchisee brands is listed below:



Franchisee Training.The Company provides new franchisees with training, focusing on the various aspects of store management,
including operations,
personnel management, marketing fundamentals and financial controls. Existing franchisees receive training, counseling and information from the Company on a continuous basis. The Company provides
store managers and stylists with extensive technical training for Supercuts franchises. For further description of the Company's education and training programs, see the "Salon Education and Training
Programs" section of this document.

Salon Markets and Marketing:

The Company maintains various advertising, sales and promotion programs for its salons, budgeting a predetermined percent of revenues
for such programs. The Company has developed promotional tactics and institutional sales messages for each of its concepts targeting certain customer types and positioning each concept in the
marketplace. Print, radio, television and billboard advertising are developed and supervised at the Company's headquarters, but most advertising is done in the immediate market of the particular
salon.

Most
franchise concepts maintain separate advertising funds (the Funds), that provide comprehensive advertising and sales promotion support for each system. The Supercuts advertising
fund is the Company's largest advertising fund and is administered by a council consisting of primarily franchisee
representatives. The council has overall control of all of the funds expenditures and operates in accordance with terms of the franchise operating and other agreements. All stores, company-owned and
franchised, contribute to the Funds, the majority of which are allocated to the contributing market for media placement and local marketing activities. The remainder is allocated for the creation of
national advertising campaigns and system wide activities. This intensive advertising program creates significant consumer awareness, a strong concept image and high loyalty.

Salon Education and Training Programs:

The Company has an extensive hands-on training program for its stylists which emphasizes both technical training in
hairstyling and cutting, hair coloring, waving 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 services, which the Company believes will result in more repeat customers, referrals and product sales.

The
Company has full- and part-time artistic directors who train the stylists in techniques for providing the salon services and instruct the stylists in current
styling trends. Stylist training is achieved through seminars, workshops and DVD based programs. The Company was the first in its industry to develop a DVD based training system in its salons and
currently has over 200 DVD titles designed to enhance technical skills of stylists.

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.

The
Company also provides regulatory compliance training for all its field employees. This training is designed to help supervisors and stylists understand employee regulatory
requirements and compliance with these standards.

Salon Staff Recruiting and Retention:

Recruiting quality managers and stylists is essential to the establishment and operation of successful salons. In search of salon
managers, the Company's supervisory team recruits or develops and promotes from within those stylists that display initiative and commitment. The Company has been and believes it will continue to be
successful in recruiting capable managers and
stylists. The Company believes that its compensation structure for salon managers and stylists is competitive within the industry. Stylists benefit from the Company's high-traffic
locations 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. Salon fixtures and equipment are generally uniform, allowing the Company to place large orders for these items with cost savings due to the economies of scale.

The
size of the Company's salons ranges from 500 to 5,000 square feet, with the typical salon having about 1,200 square feet. At present, the cost to the Company of normal tenant
improvements and furnishing of a new salon, including inventories, ranges from approximately $25,000 to $225,000, depending on the size of the salon and the concept. Less than ten percent of all new
salons will have costs greater than normal with a cost between $225,000 and $500,000 to furnish. International Sassoon salons costs could be even greater than the ranges above. Of the total leasehold
costs, approximately 70 percent of the cost is for leasehold improvements and the balance is for salon fixtures, equipment and inventories.

The
Company maintains its own design and real estate department, which designs and supervises the leasehold installations, furnishing and fixturing of all new company-owned salons and
certain franchise locations. The Company has developed considerable expertise in designing salons. The design and real estate staff focus on visual appeal, efficient use of space, cost and rapid
completion times.

Salon Management Information Systems:

At all of its company-owned salons, the Company utilizes a point-of-sale (POS) information system to collect
daily sales information
and customer demographics. Salon employees deposit cash receipts into a local bank account on a daily basis. The POS system sends the amount expected to be deposited to the corporate office, where the
amount is reconciled daily with local deposits transferred into a centralized corporate bank account. The customer information is then used to determine effectiveness of promotions and the loyalty
base of each salon that feed into salon operational decisions. The information is also used to generate payroll information, monitor salon performance, manage salon staffing and payroll costs, and
anticipate industry pricing and staffing trends. The corporate information systems deliver information on product sales to improve its inventory control system, including recommendations for each
salon of monthly product replenishments. Recent innovations to increase inventory cycle counts and install high speed connections at each salon are expected to improve stylist productivity and improve
customer satisfaction with the checkout process.

Management
believes that its information systems provide the Company with operational efficiencies as well as advantages in planning and analysis which are generally not available to
competitors. The Company continually reviews and improves its information systems to ensure systems and processes are kept up to date and that they will meet the growing needs of the Company. The goal
of information systems is to maximize the overall value to the business while improving the output per dollar spent by implementing cost-effective solutions and services.

Salon Competition:

The hair care industry is highly fragmented and competitive. In every area in which the Company has a salon, there are competitors
offering similar hair care services and products at similar prices. The Company faces competition within malls from companies which operate salons 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.

At
the individual salon level the barriers to enter the market are not considerable, however, significant barriers exist for chains to expand nationally due to the need to establish
systems and

18

Table of Contents

infrastructure,
recruitment of experienced hair care management and adequate store staff, and leasing of quality sites. The principal factors of competition in the affordable hair care category are
quality, consistency and convenience. The Company continually strives to improve its performance in each of these areas and to create additional points of differentiation versus the competition. In
order to obtain locations in shopping malls, the Company must be competitive as to rentals and other customary tenant obligations.

Hair Restoration Business Strategy:

In December 2004, the Company acquired Hair Club for Men and Women (Hair Club), the largest U.S. provider of hair loss solutions and
the only company offering a comprehensive menu of proven hair loss products and services. The Company leverages its strong brand, best-in-class service model and comprehensive
menu of hair restoration alternatives to build an increasing base of repeat customers that generate recurring cash flow for the Company. From its traditional non-surgical hair replacement
systems, to hair transplants, hair therapies and hair care products and services, Hair Club offers a solution for anyone experiencing or anticipating hair loss. The Company's operations consist of
95 locations (33 franchise locations) in the United States and Canada. The domestic hair restoration market is estimated to generate over $4 billion annually. The competitive
landscape is highly fragmented and comprised of approximately 4,000 locations. Hair Club and its franchisees have the largest market share, with approximately five percent based on customer count.

In
an effort to provide privacy to its customers, Hair Club offices are located primarily in office and professional buildings within larger metropolitan areas. Following is a summary of
the company-owned and franchise hair restoration centers in operation at June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008:

The Company maintains ownership interests in salons and beauty schools. The primary ownership interests are in Provalliance, EEG and
Hair Club for Men, Ltd., which are accounted for as equity method investments.

franchise operating group that is positioned for expansion.

"Regis Salons," "Supercuts," "MasterCuts," "SmartStyle," "Cost Cutters," "Hair Masters," "First Choice Haircutters," "Magicuts" and "Hair Club for Men and Women."

"Sassoon"
is a registered trademark of Procter & Gamble. The Company has a license agreement to use the Sassoon name for existing salons and academies, and new salon development.

Although
the Company believes the use of these trademarks is an element 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, the Company's success and continuing growth are the result of the quality of its salon location selections and
real estate strategies.

Corporate Employees:

During fiscal year 2010, the Company had approximately 56,000 full- and part-time employees worldwide, of which
approximately 49,000 employees were located in the United States. None of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement and the Company believes that its employee relations
are amicable.

Corporate Community Involvement:

Many of the Company's stylists volunteer their time to support charitable events for breast cancer research. Proceeds collected from
such events are distributed through the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. The Company's community involvement also includes a major sponsorship role for the Susan G. Komen Twin Cities Race
for the Cure. This 5K run and one mile walk is held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Mother's Day to help fund breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. Through its community involvement
efforts, the Company has helped raise millions of dollars in fundraising for breast cancer research.

Governmental Regulations:

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and provincial laws affecting its business as well as a variety of regulatory
provisions relating to the conduct of its beauty related business, including health and safety.

In
the United States, the Company's franchise operations are subject to the Federal Trade Commission's Trade Regulation Rule on Franchising (the FTC Rule) and by state laws and
administrative regulations that regulate various aspects of franchise operations and sales. The Company's franchises are offered to franchisees by means of an offering circular/disclosure document
containing specified disclosures in accordance with the FTC Rule and the laws and regulations of certain states. The Company has registered its offering of franchises with the regulatory authorities
of those states in which it offers franchises and in which such registration is required. State laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship presently exist in a substantial number of
states and, in certain cases, apply substantive standards to this relationship. Such laws may, for example, require that the franchisor deal with the franchisee in good faith, may prohibit
interference with the right of free association among franchisees, and may limit termination of franchisees without payment of reasonable compensation. The Company believes that the current trend is
for government regulation of franchising to increase over time. However, such laws have not had, and the Company does not expect such laws to have, a significant effect on the Company's operations.

In
Canada, the Company's franchise operations are subject to both the Alberta Franchise Act and the Ontario Franchise Act. The offering of franchises in Canada occurs by way of a
disclosure document, which contains certain disclosures required by the Ontario and Alberta Franchise Acts. Both the Ontario and Alberta Franchise Acts primarily focus on disclosure requirements,
although each requires certain relationship requirements such as a duty of fair dealing and the right of franchisees to associate and organize with other franchisees.

Governmental
regulations surrounding franchise operations in Europe are similar to those in the United States. The Company believes it is operating in substantial compliance with
applicable laws and regulations governing all of its operations.

The
Company maintains an ownership interest in EEG. Beauty schools derive a significant portion of their revenue from student financial assistance originating from the U.S Department of
Education's Title IV Higher Education Act of 1965. For the students to receive financial assistance at the school, the beauty schools must maintain eligibility requirements established by the U.S
Department of Education.

Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Available Information

The Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). The Company
therefore files periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Such reports may be obtained by visiting the Public Reference Room of the
SEC at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an internet site
(http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.

Company makes available, free of charge, copies of its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K,
and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after filing such material electronically or
otherwise furnishing it to the SEC.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

The results and impact of our announcement that our Board authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value are uncertain and cannot be
determined.

In August 2010, we announced that our Board authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which
could result in, among other things, a sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will result in any agreement or transaction, or that if an agreement is
executed, that a transaction will be consummated. We do not intend to disclose developments with respect to this review (whether or not material) unless and until the Board has approved a specific
course of action or terminated the exploration of strategic alternatives. In connection with our exploration of strategic alternatives, we expect to incur expenses associated with identifying and
evaluating strategic alternatives. The process of exploring strategic alternatives may be disruptive to our business operations and could make it more difficult to pursue acquisitions and retain
personnel. The inability to effectively manage the process and any resulting agreement or transaction could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our business and our industry are affected by cyclical and global economic factors, including the risk of a prolonged recession.

Our financial results are substantially dependent upon overall economic conditions in the United States and in Europe. A prolonged or a
deepening recession in the United States, or globally, could further decrease the demand for our products and services substantially below current levels and adversely affect our business. Our
industry has historically been vulnerable to significant declines in consumption and product and service pricing during prolonged periods of economic downturn such as at present.

Recessions
and other periods of economic dislocation typically result in a lower level of discretionary income for consumers. To the extent discretionary income declines, consumers may
be more likely to reduce discretionary spending. This could result in our salon customers lengthening their visitation patterns, foregoing salon treatments or using home treatments as a substitute. It
could also result in our hair restoration patients decreasing the amount spent on hair restoration treatments.

The
current economic conditions have affected our financial results for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Our comparable same-store sales results for the
twelve months ended
June 30, 2010 declined 3.2 percent compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. We impaired $35.3 million of goodwill associated with our Regis salon concept during fiscal
year 2010. Also, we impaired $41.7 million of goodwill associated with our salon concepts in the United Kingdom and $25.7 million of our investment in Provalliance during fiscal year
2009. If the economic downturn continues to result in negative same-store sales and we are unable to offset the impact with operational savings, our financial results may be further
affected. We may be required to take additional impairment charges and to impair certain long-lived assets, goodwill and investments, and such impairments could be material to our
consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. The concepts that have the highest likelihood of impairment are Regis and Promenade.

Changes in the general economic environment may impact our business and results of operations.

Changes to the United States, Canadian, United Kingdom, Asian and other European economies have an impact on our business. General
economic factors that are beyond our control, such as interest rates, recession, inflation, deflation, tax rates and policy, energy costs, unemployment trends, and other matters that influence
consumer confidence and spending, may impact our business. In particular, visitation patterns to our salons and hair restoration centers can be adversely impacted by increases in unemployment rates
and decreases in discretionary income levels.

If we continue to have negative same-store sales our business and results of operations may be affected.

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to improve sales, as well as both gross margins and operating margins. Comparable
same-store sales are affected by average ticket and same-store customer visits. A variety of factors affect same-store customer visits, including fashion trends,
competition, current economic conditions, changes in our product assortment, the success of marketing programs and weather conditions. These factors may cause our comparable same-store
sales results to differ materially from prior periods and from our expectations. Our comparable same-store sales results for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 declined
3.2 percent compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

If
we are unable to improve our comparable same-store sales on a long-term basis or offset the impact with operational savings, our financial results may be
affected. Furthermore, continued declines in same-store sales performance may cause us to be in default of certain covenants in our financing arrangements.

Changes in our key relationships may adversely affect our operating results.

We maintain key relationships with certain companies, including Wal-Mart. Termination or modification of any of these
relationships, including Wal-Mart, could significantly reduce our revenues and have a material and adverse impact on our business, our operating results and our ability to grow.

Changes in fashion trends may impact our revenue.

Changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends can have an impact on our financial performance. For example, trends in wearing longer
hair may reduce the number of visits to, and therefore, sales at our salons.

Changes in regulatory and statutory laws may result in increased costs to our business.

With approximately 12,700 locations and 56,000 employees worldwide, our financial results can be adversely impacted by regulatory or
statutory changes in laws. Due to the number of people we employ, laws that increase minimum wage rates or increase costs to provide employee benefits may result in additional costs to our company.
Compliance with new, complex and changing laws may cause our expenses to increase. In addition, any non-compliance with these laws could result in fines, product recalls and enforcement
actions or otherwise restrict our ability to market certain products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are also subject to laws that affect
the franchisor-franchisee relationship.

If we are not able to successfully compete in our business segments, our financial results may be affected.

Competition on a market by market basis remains strong. Therefore, our ability to raise prices in certain markets can be adversely
impacted by this competition. If we are not able to raise prices, our ability to grow same-store sales and increase our revenue and earnings may be impaired.

If our joint ventures are unsuccessful our financial results may be affected.

We have entered into joint venture arrangements with other companies in the hair salon and beauty school businesses in order to
maintain and expand our operations in the United States, Asia and continental Europe. If our joint venture partners are unwilling or unable to devote their financial resources or marketing and
operational capabilities to our joint venture businesses, or if any of our joint ventures are terminated, we may not be able to realize anticipated revenues and profits in the countries where our
joint ventures operate and our business could be materially adversely affected. If our joint venture arrangements are not successful, we may have a limited ability to terminate or modify these
arrangements. If any of our joint ventures are terminated, there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract new joint venture partners to continue the activities of the terminated joint
venture or to operate independently in the countries in which the terminated joint venture conducted business.

We are subject to default risk on our accounts and notes receivable.

We have outstanding accounts and notes receivable subject to collectability. For example, as of June 30, 2010,
$31.6 million was due to the Company from the purchaser of Trade Secret. On July 6, 2010, the purchaser of Trade Secret filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Company has a security
interest in the assets of the purchaser of Trade Secret, that the Company believes fully collateralizes the $31.6 million. If the counterparties are unable to repay the amounts due or if
payment becomes unlikely our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Changes in manufacturers' choice of distribution channels may negatively affect our revenues.

The retail products that we sell are licensed to be carried exclusively by professional salons. The products we purchase for sale in
our salons are purchased pursuant to purchase orders, as opposed to long-term contracts and generally can be terminated by the producer without much advance notice. Should the various
product manufacturers decide to utilize other distribution channels, such as large discount retailers, it could negatively impact the revenue earned from product sales.

Changes to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates may impact our results from operations.

Changes in interest rates will have an impact on our expected results from operations. Currently, we manage the risk related to
fluctuations in interest rates through the use of variable rate debt instruments and other financial instruments.

If we fail to protect the security of personal information about our customers, we could be subject to costly government enforcement actions or private litigation and our
reputation could suffer.

The nature of our business involves processing, transmission and storage of personal information about our customers. If we experience
a data security breach, we could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal
information, which could cause them to stop visiting our salons altogether. Such events could lead to lost future sales and adversely affect our results of operations.

Certain of the terms and provisions of the convertible notes we issued in July 2009 may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results and impose other
risks.

In July 2009, we issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.0 percent convertible senior notes due 2014 in
a public offering. Certain terms of the notes we issued may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results or impose other risks, such as the following:

None.

Item 2.    Properties

The Company's corporate offices are headquartered in a 270,000 square foot, four building complex in Edina, Minnesota owned or leased
by the Company. The Company also operates small offices in Toronto, Canada; Coventry and London, England; and Boca Raton, Florida. These offices are occupied under long-term leases.

The
Company owns distribution centers located in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Salt Lake City, Utah. The Chattanooga facility currently utilizes 250,000 square feet while the Salt Lake City
facility utilizes 210,000 square feet. The Salt Lake City facility may be expanded to 290,000 square feet to accommodate future growth.

The
Company operates all of its salon locations and hair replacement centers under leases or license agreements. Substantially all of its North American locations in regional malls are
operating under leases with an original term of at least ten years. Salons operating within strip centers and Wal-Mart Supercenters have leases with original terms of at least five years,
generally with the ability to renew, at the Company's option, for one or more additional five year periods. Salons operating within department stores in Canada and Europe operate under license
agreements, while freestanding or shopping center locations in those countries have real property leases comparable to the Company's domestic locations.

The
Company also leases the premises in which certain franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with the franchisees. These leases have a five year
initial term and one or more five year renewal options. All lease costs are passed through to the franchisees. Remaining franchisees, who do not enter into sublease arrangements with the Company,
negotiate and enter into leases on their own behalf.

None
of the Company's salon leases is individually material to the operations of the Company, and the Company expects that it will be able to renew its leases on satisfactory terms as
they expire. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail
employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these
matters cannot presently be determined. Although company counsel believes that the Company has valid defenses in these matters, it could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of
claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

During
fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded a $5.2 million charge related to the settlement of two legal claims regarding certain customer and employee matters. Additionally,
the Company has
commitment to provide discount coupons. As of June 30, 2010, there was a $4.3 million remaining liability recorded within accrued expenses related to the settlements.

The
Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.04 per share in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. The Company expects to continue paying regular quarterly dividends for the
foreseeable future.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
might incorporate future filings or this Annual Report, the following performance graph and accompanying data shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference
into any such filings. In addition, they shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or "filed" with the SEC.

The
following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on the Company's stock for the last five years with the cumulative total return of the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock
Index and the cumulative total return of a peer group index (the "Peer Group") constructed by the Company. In addition, the Company has included the Standard and Poor's 400 Midcap Index and the Dow
Jones Consumer Services Index in this analysis because the Company believes these two indices provide a comparative correlation to the cumulative total return of an investment in shares of Regis
Corporation.

The
Peer Group consists of the following companies: Advance Auto Parts, Inc., AutoZone, Inc., Brinker International, Inc., CBRL Group, Inc.,
DineEquity, Inc., Foot Locker, Inc., GameStop Corp., H&R Block, Inc., Jack in the Box, Inc., Papa John's International, Inc., PetSmart, Inc., RadioShack
Corp., Service Corporation International, and Starbucks Corp. The Peer Group is a self-constructed peer group of companies with comparable annual revenues, the customer service element is
a critical component to the business and targets moderate customers in terms of income and style, excluding apparel companies.

The
comparison assumes the initial investment of $100 in the Company's Common Stock, the S&P 500 Index, the Peer Group, the S&P 400 Midcap Index and the Dow Jones Consumer
Services Index on June 30, 2005 and those dividends, if any, were reinvested.

(b)   Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (BOD) approved a stock repurchase program. Originally, the program authorized up to $50.0 million to be
expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The BOD elected to increase this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, to $200.0 million on May 3, 2005, and to
$300.0 million on April 26, 2007. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions.
Historically, the repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions, restricted stock grants and stock option exercises.
All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date. As of June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, a total accumulated
6.8 million shares have been repurchased for $226.5 million. As of June 30, 2010, $73.5 million remains to be spent on share repurchases under this program.

The
Company did not repurchase any of its common stock through its share repurchase program during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

CEO and CFO Certifications

The certifications by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, have been filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our CEO's annual certification pursuant to NYSE Corporate Governance Standards Section 303A.12(a)
that our CEO was not aware of any violation by the Company of the NYSE's Corporate Governance listing standards was submitted to the NYSE on November 9, 2009.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a reader of our
financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results.
Our MD&A is presented in five sections:



MANAGEMENT'S OVERVIEW

Regis Corporation (RGS) owns or franchises beauty salons and hair restoration centers. As of June 30, 2010, we owned, franchised
or held ownership interests in over 12,700 worldwide locations. Our locations consisted of 9,929 system wide North American and international salons, 95 hair restoration centers, and 2,704 locations
in which we maintain an ownership interest less than 100 percent. Our salon concepts offer generally similar products and services and serve mass market

Table of Contents

consumers.
Our salon operations are organized to be managed based on geographical location. Our North American salon operations include 9,525 salons, including 2,020 franchise salons, operating
in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico primarily under the trade names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, SmartStyle, Supercuts and Cost Cutters. Our international salon operations include 404 salons
located in Europe, primarily in the United Kingdom. Hair Club for Men and Women includes 95 North American locations, including 33 franchise locations. During fiscal year 2010, we had
approximately 56,000 corporate employees worldwide.

Our
growth strategy consists of two primary, but flexible, components. Through a combination of organic and acquisition growth, we seek to achieve our long-term objective of
six to ten percent annual revenue growth. We anticipate that going forward, the mix of organic and acquisition growth will be roughly equal. However, depending on several factors, including the
ability of our salon development program to keep pace with the availability of real estate for new construction, hair restoration lead generation, the availability of attractive acquisition candidates
and same-store sales trends, this mix will vary from year to year. Due to the current economic conditions we have recently reduced the pace of our new salon development and salon
acquisitions. We expect to continue with our historical trend of building and/or acquiring 700 to 1,000 salons each year once the economy normalizes.

Maintaining
financial flexibility is a key element in continuing our successful growth. With strong operating cash flow and balance sheet, we are confident that we will be able to
financially support our long-term growth objectives.

Salon Business

The strength of our salon business is in the fundamental similarity and broad appeal of our salon concepts that allow flexibility and
multiple salon concept placements in shopping centers and neighborhoods. Each concept generally targets the middle market customer, however, each attracts a different demographic. We believe there are
growth opportunities in all of our salon concepts. When commercial opportunities arise, we anticipate testing and developing new salon concepts to complement our existing concepts.

We
execute our salon growth strategy by focusing on real estate. Our salon real estate strategy is to add new units in convenient locations with good visibility and customer traffic, as
well as appropriate trade demographics. Our various salon and product concepts operate in a wide range of retailing environments, including regional shopping malls, strip centers and
Wal-Mart Supercenters. We believe that the availability of real estate will augment our ability to achieve the aforementioned long-term growth objectives. In fiscal year 2011,
our outlook for constructed salons will be 160 units. Capital expenditures and acquisitions are expected to be approximately $95.0 and $25.0 million in fiscal year 2011, respectively.

Organic
salon revenue growth is achieved through the combination of new salon construction and salon same-store sales increases. Once the economy normalizes, we expect we
will continue with our historical trend of building several hundred company-owned salons. We anticipate our franchisees will open approximately 70 to 100 salons in fiscal year 2011. Older,
unprofitable salons will be closed or relocated. Our long-term outlook for our salon business is for annual consolidated low single digit same-store sales increases. Based on
current fashion and economic cycles (i.e., longer hairstyles and lengthening of customer visitation patterns), we project our annual fiscal year 2011 consolidated same-store sales
to be in the range of negative 1.0 percent to positive 2.0 percent.

Historically,
our salon acquisitions have varied in size from as small as one salon to over one thousand salons. The median acquisition size is approximately ten salons. From fiscal year
1994 to fiscal year 2010, we acquired 8,023 salons, net of franchise buybacks. Once the economy normalizes, we anticipate adding several hundred company-owned salons each year from acquisitions. Some
of these acquisitions may include buying salons from our franchisees.

Hair Restoration Business

In December 2004, we acquired Hair Club for Men and Women. Hair Club for Men and Women is a provider of hair loss solutions with an
estimated five percent share of the $4 billion domestic market. This industry is comprised of numerous locations domestically and is highly fragmented. As a result, we believe there is an
opportunity to consolidate this industry through acquisition. Expanding the hair loss business organically and through acquisition would allow us to add incremental revenue which is neither dependent
upon, nor dilutive to, our existing salon businesses.

Our
organic growth plans for hair restoration include the construction of a modest number of new locations in untapped markets domestically and internationally. However, the success of
our hair restoration business is not dependent on the same real estate criteria used for salon expansion. In an effort to provide confidentiality for our customers, hair restoration centers operate
primarily in professional or medical office buildings. Further, the hair restoration business is more marketing intensive. As a result, organic growth at our hair restoration centers will be dependent
on successfully generating new leads and converting them into hair restoration customers. Our growth expectations for our hair restoration business are not dependent on referral business from, or
cross marketing with, our hair salon business, but these concepts continue to be evaluated closely for additional growth opportunities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to make various judgments, estimates and assumptions that could have a significant impact on the results reported in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. We base these estimates on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are considered to be critical if
they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and (2) other
materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in these estimates could have a
material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our
significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this
Form 10-K. We believe the following accounting policies are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations.

Investment In and Loans to Affiliates

The Company has equity investments in securities of certain privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments under
the equity method of accounting. The Company also has loans receivable from certain of these entities. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded at the amount of the Company's
investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest the
Company's investment may not be recoverable. During fiscal year 2009, we recorded impairments of $25.7 and $7.8 million ($4.8 million net of tax) related to our investment in
Provalliance and investment in and loans to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at the time of a triggering event. In evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the
Company compares the carrying value of each reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The carrying value of each

33

---



Table of Contents

reporting
unit is based on the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the reporting unit, including allocation of shared or corporate balances among reporting units. Allocations are
generally based on the number of salons in each reporting unit as a percent of total company-owned salons.

The
Company calculates the estimated fair value of the reporting units based on discounted future cash flows that utilize estimates in annual revenue, gross margins, fixed expense rates,
allocated corporate overhead, and long-term growth for determining terminal value. The Company's estimated future cash flows also take into consideration acquisition integration and
maturation. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow. The Company considers its various concepts to be reporting
units when testing for goodwill impairment because that is where the Company believes the goodwill resides. The Company periodically engage third-party valuation consultants to assist in evaluation of
the Company's estimated fair value calculations. The Company's policy is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test during its third quarter of each fiscal year ending June 30.

In
the situations where a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The measurement of impairment is
calculated by determining the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all other
assets and liabilities of that unit based on the relative fair values. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amount assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair
value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

As
a result of the Company's annual impairment analysis of goodwill during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, a $35.3 million impairment charge was recorded within continuing
operations for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Regis salon concept.

As
it is reasonably likely that there could be additional impairment of the Regis salon concept's goodwill in future periods along with the sensitivity of the Company's critical
assumptions in estimating fair value of this reporting unit, the Company has provided additional information related to this reporting unit.

A
summary of the critical assumptions utilized during the annual impairment test of the Regis salon concept as of March 31, 2010 are outlined below:

As

that there could be impairment of the Promenade salon concept's goodwill in future periods along with the sensitivity of the Company's critical assumptions in estimating fair value of this reporting
unit, the Company has provided additional information related to this reporting unit.

The
respective fair values of the Company's remaining reporting units exceeded fair value by greater than 20.0 percent. While the Company has determined the estimated fair values
of Regis and Promenade to be appropriate based on the historical level of revenue growth, operating income and cash flows, it is reasonably likely that Regis and Promenade may become impaired in
future periods.

The
term "reasonably likely" refers to an occurrence that is more than remote but less than probable in the judgment of the Company. Because some of the inherent assumptions and estimates used in
determining the fair value of the reportable segments are outside the control of management, changes in these underlying assumptions can adversely impact fair value. Potential impairment of a portion
or all of the carrying value of the Regis salon concept and Promenade salon concept goodwill is dependent on many factors and cannot be predicted with certainty.

As
of June 30, 2010, the Company's estimated fair value, as determined by the sum of our reporting units' fair value reconciled to within a reasonable range of our market
capitalization which included an assumed control premium. The Company concluded there were no triggering events that would require the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test between
the annual impairment testing and June 30, 2010.

summary of the Company's goodwill balance as of June 30, 2010 by reporting unit is as follows:

Prior
to the annual goodwill impairment analysis for fiscal year 2009, the fair value of the Company's stock declined such that it began trading below book value per share. Due to the
adverse changes in operating results and the continuation of the Company's stock trading below book value per share, the Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill during the three
months ended December 31, 2008.

As
a result of the Company's interim impairment test of goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2008, a $41.7 million impairment charge for the full carrying
amount of goodwill within the salon concepts in the United Kingdom was recorded within continuing operations. The recent
performance challenges of the international salon operations indicated that the estimated fair value was less than the current carrying of this reporting units net assets, including goodwill.

During
the three months ended March 31 of fiscal year 2008, we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis on our reporting units. No impairment charges were recorded during
fiscal year 2008.

Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. Our impairment analysis on salon property and equipment is performed on a salon by salon basis. The Company's test for
impairment is performed at a salon level as this is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Factors
considered in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of an individual salon in relation to expectations, significant economic or geographic trends, and
significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the

36

---



Table of Contents

related
salon assets that does not recover the carrying value of the salon assets. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted estimated future cash flow is zero or negative, impairment is measured as the
full carrying value of the related salon's equipment and leasehold improvements. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted cash flows is greater than zero but less than the carrying value of the related
salon's equipment and leasehold improvements, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of the salon assets and impairment is measured as the difference between the
carrying value of the salon assets and the estimated fair value. The fair value estimate is based on the best information available, including market data.

Judgments
made by management related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and the ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of
such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the assets, changes in economic conditions and changes in operating performance. As the ongoing expected cash
flows and carrying amounts of long-lived assets are assessed, these factors could cause us to realize material impairment charges.

During
fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, $6.4, $10.2, and $6.1 million, respectively, of impairment was recorded within depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations. In June
2009, we approved a plan to close up to 80 underperforming United Kingdom company-owned salons in fiscal year 2010 that was in addition to the July 2008 approved plan of closing up to 160
underperforming company-owned salons in fiscal year 2009. We also evaluated the appropriateness of the remaining useful lives of its affected property and equipment and whether a change to the
depreciation charge was warranted. Impairment charges are included in depreciation related to company-owned salons in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Purchase Price Allocation

We make numerous acquisitions. The purchase prices are allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Fair value is estimated based on the amount for which the asset or liability could be bought or sold in a current
transaction between willing parties. For our acquisitions, the majority of the purchase price that is not allocated to identifiable assets, or liabilities assumed, is accounted for as residual
goodwill rather than identifiable intangible assets. This stems from the value associated with the walk-in customer base of the acquired salons, the value of which is not recorded as an
identifiable intangible asset under current accounting guidance and the limited value of the acquired leased site and customer preference associated with the acquired hair salon brand. Residual
goodwill further represents our opportunity to strategically combine the acquired business with our existing structure to serve a greater number of customers through our expansion strategies.
Identifiable intangible assets purchased in fiscal year 2010, 2009, and 2008 acquisitions totaled $0.1, $1.3, $16.1 million, respectively. The residual goodwill generated by fiscal year 2010,
2009, and 2008 acquisitions totaled $2.6, $30.8, $105.3 million, respectively. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Self-insurance Accruals

The Company uses a combination of third party insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks including workers'
compensation, health insurance, employment practice liability and general liability claims. The liability represents an estimate of the undiscounted ultimate cost of uninsured claims incurred as of
the balance sheet date.

The
workers' compensation, general liability and employment practices liability analysis includes applying loss development factors to the Company's historical claims data (total paid
and incurred amounts per claim) for all policy years where the Company has not reached its aggregate limits to

37

---



Table of Contents

project
the future development of incurred claims. The workers' compensation analysis is performed for four models; California, Ohio, Texas and all other states. A variety of accepted actuarial
methodologies are followed to determine these liabilities, including several methods to predict the loss development factors for each policy period. These liabilities are determined by modeling the
frequency (number of claims) and severity (cost of claims), fitting statistical distributions to the experience, and then running simulations. A similar analysis is performed for both general
liability and employment practices liability; however, it is a single model for all liability claims rather than the four separate models used for workers' compensation.

The
health insurance analysis utilizes trailing twelve months of paid and 24 months of incurred medical and prescription claims to project the amount of incurred but not yet
reported claims liability amount. The lag factors are developed based on the Company's specific claim data utilizing a completion factor methodology. The developed factor, expressed as a percentage of
paid claims, is applied to the trailing twelve months of paid claims to calculate the estimated liability amount. The calculated liability amount is reviewed for reasonableness based on reserve
adequacy ranges for historical periods by testing prior reserve levels against actual expenses to date.

Although
the Company does not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from the estimates, self-insurance accruals could be affected if future claims
experience differs significantly from the historical trends and actuarial assumptions. For fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, we recorded decreases in expense from changes in estimates related to
prior year open policy periods continuing operations of $1.7, $9.9, $6.9 million, respectively. A 10.0 percent change in the self-insurance reserve would affect income from
continuing operations before income taxes and equity in income of affiliated companies by $4.5, $4.0, and $4.7 million for the three years ended June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008,
respectively. The Company updates loss projections each year and adjusts its recorded liability to reflect the current projections. The updated loss projections consider new claims and developments
associated with existing claims for each open policy period. As certain claims can take years to settle, the Company has multiple policy periods open at any point in time.

Income Taxes

In determining income for financial statement purposes, management must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and
judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and
financial statement recognition of revenue and expense.

Management
must assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered. If recovery is not likely, we must increase our provision for taxes by recording a reserve, in the form
of a valuation allowance, for the deferred tax assets that will not be ultimately recoverable. Should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, our tax provision would
increase in the period in which it is determined that the recovery is not likely.

In
addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. Management recognizes a reserve for potential
liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. If payment of these
amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If
our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result. In the United States, fiscal years 2007 and after remain open for Federal tax
audit. The Company has been notified that the United States federal income tax returns for the years 2007 through 2009 have been selected for audit. For state tax audits, the statute of limitations
generally spans three to four years, resulting in a number of states remaining open for tax audits dating back to fiscal year 2006. However, the company is under

38

Table of Contents

audit
in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended to fiscal years 2000 and forward. Internationally (including Canada), the statute of limitations for tax audits varies
by jurisdiction, but generally ranges from three to five years.

We
adopted the FASB guidance regarding the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax
return, including the decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. As a result of the adoption, effective July 1, 2007, the Company recognized a $20.7 million
increase in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits, including interest and penalties. As of June 30, 2010 the Company's liability for uncertain tax positions was
$16.9 million. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Contingencies

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Accruals are
recorded for such contingencies based on our assessment that the occurrence is probable, and where determinable, an estimate of the liability amount. Management considers many factors in making these
assessments including past history and
the specifics of each case. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur, which could have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

During
fiscal year 2010, the Company settled two legal claims regarding certain customer and employee matters for an aggregate of $5.2 million plus a commitment to provide
discount coupons.

aggregate franchise royalties and fees of $39.7, $39.6, $67.6 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. North American
salon franchise royalties and fees represented 93.7, 93.7, and 58.6 percent of total franchise revenues in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The decrease in aggregate franchise
royalties and fees and the increase in North American salon franchise royalties and fees as a percent of total revenues for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 is a result of the deconsolidation of the
Company's European franchise salon operations.(2)On
January 31, 2008, the Company deconsolidated the results of operations of its European franchise salon operations. Accordingly, revenue growth was
negatively impacted as a result of the deconsolidation. See Item 6, Selected Financial Data, for further information.(3)On
August 1, 2007, the Company contributed its 51 accredited cosmetology schools to Empire Education Group, Inc. Accordingly, revenue growth
was negatively impacted as a result of the deconsolidation. See Item 6, Selected Financial Data, for further information. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the results of
operations for the month ended July 31, 2007 for the accredited cosmetology schools are reported in the North American salons segment. The Company retained ownership of its one North American
and four United Kingdom Sassoon schools. Subsequent to August 1, 2007 results of operations for the Sassoon schools are included in the respective North American and international salon
segments.(4)Same-store
sales increases or decreases are calculated on a daily basis as the total change in sales for company-owned locations which were open
on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Annual same-store sales increases are the sum of the same-store sales increases
computed on a daily basis. Salons relocated within a one mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period.

Table of Contents

International
same-store sales are calculated in local currencies so that foreign currency fluctuations do not impact the calculation. Management believes that same-store
sales, a component of organic growth, are useful in order to help determine the increase in salon revenues attributable to its organic growth (new salon construction and same-store sales
growth) versus growth from acquisitions. (5)Beginning
with the period ended December 31, 2008, the operations of Trade Secret concept within the North American reportable segment were accounted
for as a discontinued operation. All periods presented reflect Trade Secret as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, Trade Secret revenues are excluded from this presentation.(6)Trade
Secret, Inc. was sold by Regis Corporation on February 16, 2009. The agreement included a provision that the Company would supply
product to the buyer of Trade Secret and provide certain administrative services for a transition period. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and 2009, the Company generated revenue of
$20.0, and $32.2 million in product revenues, respectively, which represented 0.8 and 1.3 percent of consolidated revenues, respectively. The agreement was substantially complete as of
September 30, 2009.


The
decreases of 2.9, and 2.1 percent, and the increase of 4.6 percent in consolidated revenues during fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, were driven by the

company-owned salons (including 83 franchise buybacks), and bought back two hair restoration centers from franchisees during fiscal year 2009. The decline in organic sales during fiscal year
2010 was primarily due to consolidated same-store sales decrease of 3.2 percent due to a decline in same-store customer visits, partially offset by an increase in
average ticket. The decline in organic sales was also due to the completion of an agreement to supply the purchaser of Trade Secret product at cost. The Company generated revenues of $20.0 and
$32.2 million for product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Partially offsetting the organic sales decrease was
the construction of 143 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. We closed 269 and 281 salons (including 65 and 51 franchise salons) during the twelve months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

consolidated same-store sales decrease of 3.1 percent, partially offset by the construction of 172 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The
organic increase was primarily from the construction of 309 company-owned salons during the 12 months ended June 30, 2008, as well as consolidated same-store

During
fiscal year 2010, the foreign currency impact was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the
United Stated dollar against the British pound and Euro as compared to the prior fiscal year's exchange rates. During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, the foreign currency impact was driven by the
strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, British pound, and Euro as compared to the prior fiscal year's exchange rates. Consolidated revenues are primarily composed of
service and product revenues, as well as franchise royalties and fees. Fluctuations in these three major revenue categories were as follows:

The
decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2010 was due to same-store service sales decreasing 3.4 percent, as many consumers have continued to lengthen their
visitation pattern due to the economy. In addition, service revenues decreased due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British pound. Partially offsetting the decrease was
growth due to acquisitions during the twelve months and the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

The
decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2009 was due to same-store service sales decreasing 2.5 percent. Same-store service sales decreased
2.5 percent due to a decline in customer visits. Service revenues were also negatively impacted due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, British pound,
and Euro and the deconsolidation
of the European franchise salon operations on January 31, 2008. Partially offsetting the decrease was growth due to acquisitions during the twelve months and an increase in average ticket.

The
growth in service revenues during fiscal year 2008 was driven by acquisitions and new salon construction (a component of organic growth). Service revenue growth was driven by a
consolidated same-store service sales increase of 2.2 percent during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of price increases. Growth was negatively impacted as a
result of the deconsolidation of our 51 accredited cosmetology schools to Empire Education Group, Inc. on August 31, 2007.

Product Revenues.Product revenues are primarily sales at company-owned salons, hair restoration centers, and sales of product
and equipment to
franchisees. Consolidated product revenues were as follows:

The
decrease in product revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the decrease in product sales to the purchaser of Trade Secret from $32.2 in fiscal year 2009 to $20.0 in
fiscal year 2010, as well as due to same-store product sales decreasing 2.3 percent and the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British pound. Partially offsetting
the decrease was the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

The
growth in product revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to product sales of $32.2 million to the purchaser of Trade Secret, partially offset by
same-store product sales decreasing 5.1 percent. Same-store product sales decreased 5.1 percent during the
fiscal year 2009 due to a decline in customer visits and a change in product mix, as a larger percentage of product sales came from promotional items.

The
growth in product revenues during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to acquisitions, offset by same-store product sales decrease of 0.8 percent during the twelve
months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease is due to the recent decline in the global economic condition and the continued trend of product diversion and increased appeal of mass hair care lines
by the consumer.

Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31, 2008.

Total

Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31, 2008. The decrease in consolidated franchise revenues during fiscal year 2008 was partially offset due to the weakening of the United States dollar
against the Canadian dollar, British pound and Euro as compared to the exchange rates for fiscal year 2007.

The
basis point improvement in service margins as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the benefit of the new leveraged salon pay plans implemented
in the 2009 calendar year. Increases in salon health insurance and payroll taxes partially offset the basis point improvement.

The
basis point improvement in service margins as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to an improvement in labor expenses. Labor expenses improved as
a result of cost control initiatives and new leveraged salon pay plans.

The
basis point decrease in service margins as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to the absence of the beauty school segment service revenue from
consolidated service revenues. The decrease was also due to a change made during the first fiscal quarter as a result of refinements made to our inventory tracking systems. The refinements resulted in
better tracking and accounting for retail products that our salon stylists transfer from retail shelves to the back bar for use in servicing customers. The cost of these products had historically been
included as a component of our product gross margin, whereas they are now more appropriately included in our service margin.

The
basis point improvement in product margin other than sold to purchaser of Trade Secret as a percentage of product revenues during fiscal year 2010 was due to a planned reduction in
retail commissions paid to new employees on retail product sales.

The
basis point improvement in product margin other than sold to purchaser of Trade Secret as a percentage of product revenues during fiscal year 2009 was due to selling higher cost
inventories in fiscal year 2008 obtained in conjunction with several acquisitions. In addition, product margins improved due to the deconsolidation of the European franchise salon operations and a
write-off of slow moving inventories in fiscal year 2008. Partially offsetting the improvement was mix play, as a larger than expected percentage of product sales came from lower-margin
promotional items. We are not promoting or discounting at a higher rate, but we are continuing to see customers be more value-focused through buying promotional items at a higher rate than prior
periods.

The
80 basis point improvement in product margins as a percentage of product revenues during fiscal year 2008 was due to refinements made to our inventory tracking systems. The
refinements

resulted
in better tracking and accounting for retail products that our salon stylists transfer from retail shelves to the back bar for use in servicing customers. The cost of these products had
historically been included as a component of our product gross margin, whereas they are now more appropriately included in our service margin. In addition, product margins improved due to the

the basis point change in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior

The
basis point increase in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to higher self insurance expense. The Company recorded
a reduction in self insurance accruals of $1.7 million in fiscal year 2010 compared to a $9.9 million reduction in fiscal year 2009. In addition the Company settled two legal claims
related to customer and employee matters resulting in a $5.2 million charge during fiscal year 2010.

The
basis point increase in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the reclassification of rubbish removal and
utilities that we pay our landlords as part of our operating lease agreements from rent into site operating expense. Partially offsetting the basis point increase was an incremental
$3.0 million benefit due to the reduction in self insurance accruals compared to the fiscal year 2008 reduction in self insurance accruals. The reduction was primarily related to prior years'
workers' compensation reserves as a result of successful safety and return-to-work programs implemented over the past few years.

The
basis point improvement in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in workers' compensation expense due
to a continued reduction in the frequency and severity of injury claims from our successful salon safety programs.

sales, partially offset by the continuation of cost savings initiatives implemented by the Company.

The
basis point improvement in G&A costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to cost savings initiatives implemented by the Company during
the first half of fiscal year 2009 including the reduction of field supervisory staff and the reduction of the fiscal year 2009 marketing budget. The basis point improvement was also related to the
deconsolidation of the European franchise salon operations.

The

The

underperforming locations as compared to fiscal year 2009. The Company recorded impairment charges of $6.4 and $10.2 million during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Partially
offsetting the improvements was a decline due to negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales.

The
basis point increase in D&A as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the decrease in same-store sales. In addition, the Company
recorded impairment charges of $10.2 million related to the impairment of property and equipment at underperforming locations, including those salons under the Company approved plan to close up
to 80 underperforming United Kingdom company-owned salons.

The
basis point improvement in D&A as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to same-store sales increasing at a faster rate than D&A.
The improvement was partially offset by higher salon impairment charges in fiscal year 2008 related to the Company's decision to close 160 (112 continuing operations) underperforming salons in fiscal
year 2009, when compared to salon impairment charges in fiscal year 2007. Impairment charges of $6.1 million were recorded during fiscal 2008 related to the impairment of property and equipment
at underperforming locations. The majority of closings are expected to occur in the first half of fiscal year 2009. The decision to close the underperforming stores was the result of a comprehensive
review of our salon portfolio, further continuing our initiative to enhance profitability.

The
Company recorded a $35.3 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Regis salon concept during fiscal year 2010. Due to the current economic conditions, the estimated
fair value of the Regis salon operations was less than the carrying value of this concept's net assets, including goodwill. The $35.3 million impairment charge was the excess of the carrying
value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Regis salon operations.

The
Company recorded a $41.7 million goodwill impairment charge related to the salon concepts in the United Kingdom during fiscal year 2009. The recent performance challenges of
the international salon operations indicated that the estimated fair value of the international salon operations was less than the current carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets, including
goodwill. There is no remaining goodwill recorded within the salon concepts in the United Kingdom.

The
fiscal year 2009 lease termination costs are primarily associated with the Company's July 2008 plan to close underperforming company-owned salons in fiscal year 2009. The planned

The

make-whole payments and other fees associated with the repayment of private placement debt. The increase due to the make-whole payments and other fees was partially offset by a
reduction in interest expense due to decreased debt levels.

The
basis point improvement in interest as a percent of consolidated revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to lower average interest rates on
variable rate debt and decreased debt levels as a result of the Company's commitment to reduce debt levels.

The
basis point improvement in our overall effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of the
non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded during the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the impact of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded during the
year ended June 30, 2009 and an increase in the employment credits received. In addition, a 0.9 percent decrease in the tax rate was due to adjustments to the income tax balances, which
had a smaller impact than the charge recorded in the prior year related to the adjustment of prior year deferred income taxes.

The
basis point increase in our overall effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of the pre-tax non-cash
goodwill impairment charge of $41.7 million recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2008 which caused an increase in the tax rate of 14.5 percent. The majority of the
impairment charge was not deductible for tax purposes. In addition, a 4.8 percent increase in the tax rate was due to an adjustment of prior year deferred income taxes. Offsetting the
unfavorable shifts in the income tax rate was a 7.3 percent decrease in the tax rate due to the release of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits upon the expiration of the statute of
limitation in federal, state and international jurisdictions.

The
basis point increase in our overall effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was primarily the result of the shift in income from low to high tax
jurisdictions as a result of the
merger of European franchise salon operations with the Franck Provost Salon Group. As a result of the merger with the Franck Provost Salon Group, the Company repatriated approximately
$30 million cash previously considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. In addition, certain costs related to the transaction were not deductible for tax purposes.
The combined effect of these items caused an increase in the tax rate of 2.1 percent. In addition, Texas and other states introduced new taxes or restrictive rules. The combined effect of these
new taxes, together with other adjustments, caused an increase in the tax rate of 1.9 percent.

Equity
in income of affiliated companies, net of taxes for the year ended June 30, 2010 was due to equity in income of $4.1, $6.4 and $0.9 million recorded for our
investments in Provalliance, EEG and Hair Club for Men, Ltd., respectively.

The
increase in losses of affiliated companies, net of taxes for the year ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the impairment losses of $25.7 and $4.8 million, on our
investment in Provalliance and investment in and loans to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC, respectively. Primarily the result of the weakened economy across continental Europe, Provalliance had
recorded income at levels much less than expected by Regis management during the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. In addition, Provalliance significantly increased its debt levels
resulting from acquisitions since January 31, 2008 but
had significantly reduced future income expectations as a result of current economic conditions. The Company calculated the estimated fair value of Provalliance based on discounted future cash flows
that utilize estimates in annual revenue growth, gross margins, capital expenditures, income taxes and long-term growth for determining terminal value. The discounted cash flow model
utilizes projected financial results based on Provalliance's business plans and historical trends. The increased debt and reduced earnings expectations reduced the fair value of Provalliance as of
June 30, 2009. Accordingly, the Company could no longer justify the carrying amount of its investment in Provalliance and recorded a $25.7 million
"other-than-temporary" impairment charge in its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009. The $4.8 million impairment charge was based on Intelligent
Nutrients, LLC's inability to develop a professional organic brand of shampoo and conditioner with broad consumer appeal. The Company determined the losses in value to be
"other-than-temporary." Partially offsetting the impairment losses was equity in income recorded for our investments in Provalliance, EEG and Hair Club for Men, Ltd. See
Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of each respective affiliated company.

Equity
in income of affiliated companies, net of taxes for the year ended June 30, 2008 was due to equity in income recorded for our investments in Provalliance and EEG, partially
offset by equity in losses recorded for our investments in Intelligent Nutrients, LLC and PureBeauty and BeautyFirst.

During
fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded a $3.0 million tax benefit in discontinued operations to correct the prior year calculation of the income tax benefit related to the
disposition of the Trade Secret Salon concept.

During
the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we concluded that our Trade Secret concept was held for sale and presented it as discontinued operations for all comparable prior
periods. The loss from discontinued operations during fiscal year 2009 represents operating losses and non-cash impairment charges of $183.3 million. The decrease in income from
discontinued operations during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to same-store sales decreasing 7.9 percent and reduced retail product margins, largely the result of recent salon
acquisitions which have lower product margins. The decrease in income from discontinued operations during fiscal year 2008 was also due to long-lived asset impairment charges of
$4.4 million in fiscal year 2008 as compared to $1.7 million during fiscal year 2007. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effects of Inflation

We compensate some of our salon employees with percentage commissions based on sales they generate, thereby enabling salon payroll
expense as a percent of company-owned salon revenues to remain relatively constant. Accordingly, this provides us certain protection against inflationary increases, as payroll expense and related
benefits (our major expense components) are variable costs of sales. In addition, we may increase pricing in our salons to offset any significant increases in wages. Therefore, we do not believe
inflation has had a significant impact on the results of our operations.

Constant Currency Presentation

The presentation below demonstrates the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from year to year. To present this
information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year. Therefore, the foreign currency impact is equal to current year
results in local currencies multiplied by the change in the average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

During
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on consolidated revenues due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against
the United States dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the British pound and Euro against the United States dollar.

During
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on consolidated revenues due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar, British
pound, and Euro against the United States dollar.

During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on consolidated revenues due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, British
pound, and Euro against the United States dollar.

We
acquired 26 North American salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, including 23 franchise buybacks. The decline in organic sales was the result of a
same-store sales decrease of 3.3 percent due to a decline in same-store customer visits, partially offset by
an increase in average ticket. Contributing to the organic sales decline during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 was the completion of an agreement to supply the purchaser of Trade Secret
product at cost. The Company generated revenues of $20.0 and $32.2 million for product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2010 resulted from the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar as compared to the exchange rate for fiscal year
2009.

We
acquired 177 North American salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, including 83 franchise buybacks. The organic decrease was due primarily to
same-store sales decrease of 2.9 percent, partially offset by the construction of 168 company-owned salons in North America and $32.2 million of product sales to the
purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2009 resulted from the strengthening of the United States dollar against
the Canadian dollar as compared to the exchange rate for fiscal year 2008.

We
acquired 287 North American salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, including 145 franchise buybacks. The organic growth was due primarily to the
construction of 294 company-owned salons in North America during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, and a same-store sales increase of 1.8 percent during the twelve
months ended June 30, 2008. The Company experienced the largest comparable increase in same-store service sales in eight years during the third and fourth quarter of fiscal year
2008, 4.1 and 3.4 percent, respectively. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2008 was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar as compared to
the exchange rate for fiscal year 2007.

(1)Represents
the basis point change in North American salon operating income as a percent of total North American salon revenues as compared to the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.


The
basis point decrease in North American salon operating income as a percent of North American salon revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the $35.3 million
goodwill impairment of the Company's Regis salon concept and negative leverage in fixed cost categories due to negative same-store sales. In addition, the basis point decrease was due to
the settlement of two legal claims regarding customer and employee matters totaling $5.2 million, higher self insurance expense (the Company recorded reduction in self insurance accruals of
$1.7 million in the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a $9.9 million reduction in the twelve months ended June 30, 2009), partially offset by the Company's cost
saving initiatives and gross margin improvement.

The
basis point decrease in North American salon operating income as a percent of North American salon revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to negative leverage in fixed
cost categories due to negative same-store sales and lease termination costs associated with the Company's plan to close underperforming company-owned salons. In addition, the basis point
decrease was due to an increase in North American revenues of $32.2 million related to product sales to the purchaser of Trade Secret at cost.

The
basis point increase in North American salon operating income as a percent of North American salon revenues during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due a decrease in workers'
compensation expense due to a continued reduction in the frequency and severity of injury claims from our successful salon safety programs. Partially offsetting the increase was impairment losses on
the disposal of property and equipment stemming from salon closures. In July 2008 (fiscal year 2009), we approved a plan to close up to 112 underperforming company-owned salon locations in fiscal year
2009 prior to the lease end date in order to enhance overall profitability, which resulted in impairment charges of $6.1 million.

We
did not acquire any international salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The organic sales increase was primarily due to the rebranding of certain salons that had
previously been operating under a different salon concept, partially offset by a decrease in same-store sales of 3.8 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The
foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2010 resulted from the weakening of the United States dollar against the British Pound and Euro as compared to the exchange rates for fiscal year 2009. We
closed 42 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, of which 29 related to the June 2009 plan to close underperforming salons in the United Kingdom.

We
did not acquire any international salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The organic sales decline was primarily due to a decrease of same-store sales
of 7.2 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, partially offset by the four company-owned international salons constructed. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2009
resulted from the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British Pound and Euro as compared to the exchange rates for fiscal year 2008. Franchise revenues decreased primarily due to the
merger of our continental Europe franchise salon operations with Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31, 2008.

We
acquired 25 international salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, none of which were franchise buybacks. The decrease in organic growth was due to a decrease of
same-store sales of 4.3 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 and due to an additional week in the fiscal year 2007 reporting period as compared to the fiscal
year 2008 reporting period. This decrease was partially offset by the 15 company-owned international salons constructed and the inclusion of the four United Kingdom Sassoon schools for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2008. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2008 was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the British Pound and Euro as compared to the
exchange rates for fiscal year 2007. Franchise revenues decreased primarily due to the merger of our continental Europe franchise salon operations with Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31,
2008.

the basis point change in international salon operating income (loss) as a percent of total international salon revenues as compared to the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.


The
basis point improvement in international salon operating income as a percent of international salon revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the comparable prior period
including a $41.7 million goodwill impairment of the United Kingdom reporting unit and higher impairment charges related to the impairment of property and equipment at underperforming
locations. In addition the Company's planned closure of underperforming United Kingdom salons and the continuation of the Company's expense control and payroll management contributed to the basis
point improvement during fiscal year 2010.

The
basis point decrease in international salon operating income as a percent of international salon revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to negative same-store
sales and the $41.7 million goodwill impairment of the United Kingdom reporting unit during the fiscal year 2009.

The
basis point decrease in international salon operating income as a percent of international salon revenues during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to the deconsolidation of our
European franchise salon operations, negative same-store sales, and higher impairment charges of $1.1 million related to the Company approved plan to close underperforming
company-owned salon locations in fiscal year 2009. These decreases were offset by the inclusion of the Sassoon schools in the segment.

We
constructed four hair restoration centers during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in organic hair restoration revenues during fiscal year 2010 was due to the
increase in same-store sales of 0.4 percent.

We
acquired two hair restoration centers during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, both of which were franchise buybacks, and constructed eight hair restoration centers during
the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in organic hair restoration revenues during fiscal year 2009 was due to the decrease in same-store sales of 0.8 percent.

We
acquired six hair restoration centers during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, all of which were franchise buybacks, and constructed three hair restoration centers during
the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in organic hair restoration revenues during fiscal year 2008 was due to the increase in same-store sales of 5.2 percent.

increase in advertising spend and the settlement of a vendor dispute totaling $0.6 million.

The
basis point decrease in hair restoration operating income as a percent of hair restoration revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to lower operating margins on newly
constructed and acquired centers and negative leverage in fixed cost categories due to negative same-store sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet to support system growth and financial flexibility. Our debt to capitalization ratio,
calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and shareholders' equity at fiscal year end, was as follows:

(1)Represents
the basis point change in debt to capitalization as compared to prior fiscal year end (June 30).


The
basis point decrease in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the July 2009 common stock offering and
decreased debt levels stemming from the repayment of private placement debt during fiscal year 2010. Our principal on-going cash requirements are to finance construction of new stores,
remodel certain existing stores, acquire salons and purchase inventory. Customers pay for salon services and merchandise in cash at the time of sale, which reduces our working capital requirements.

The
basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in shareholders' equity from the
non-cash goodwill impairment within the United Kingdom salon division, the loss from discontinued operations related to the sale of Trade Secret, the non-cash impairment of our
investment in Provalliance and foreign currency due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, Euro and British Pound. The impact of the decrease in shareholders'
equity on the debt to capitalization ratio was partially offset by a decrease in debt from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $55.5 and
$230.2 million, respectively, of our debt outstanding is classified as a current liability. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 we had borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $5.0 and
$139.1 million, respectively.

The
basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2008 compared to June 30, 2007 was primarily due to increased debt levels stemming from share
repurchases, acquisitions and timing of customary income tax payments made during fiscal year 2008 and 2007. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately $230.2 and $223.4 million,
respectively, of our debt outstanding was classified as a current liability. We have a revolving credit facility which provides for possible acceleration of the maturity date based on provisions that
are not objectively determinable and we have therefore included the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility in our current portion of debt. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007 we
had borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $139.1 and $147.8 million, respectively.

Cash
flows from operations, partially offset by the $35.3 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Regis salon concept were the primary factors for the increase in total
assets as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009.

The
non-cash goodwill impairment within the United Kingdom salon division, non-cash impairment of our investment in Provalliance, non-cash impairment
related to the sale of Trade Secret salon concept, and a planned reduction in inventory were the primary factors for the decrease in total assets as of June 30, 2009 compared to June 30,
2008.

Acquisitions
and new salon construction (a component of organic growth) were the primary drivers of the increase in total assets as of June 30, 2008 compared to June 30,
2007. Acquisitions and new salon construction were primarily funded by a combination of operating cash flow, debt, and assumption of liabilities.

Total

During
the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, equity increased primarily as a result of the issuance of the $163.6 million in common stock, the $24.7 million
($15.2 million net of tax) equity component of the convertible debt, stock based compensation of $9.3 million and the $42.7 million of earnings during fiscal year 2010. Partially
offsetting the increase was $9.1 million of dividends, $8.2 million in equity issuance costs and $5.4 million of foreign currency translation adjustments.

During
the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, equity decreased primarily as a result of the non-cash goodwill impairment within the United Kingdom salon division, the
non-cash impairment of our investment in Provalliance, the non-cash
impairment related to the sale of Trade Secret and foreign currency due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, Euro, and British Pound.

During
the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, equity increased primarily as a result of net income and increased accumulated other comprehensive income due primarily to foreign
currency translation adjustments as the result of the strengthening of foreign currencies that underlie our investments in those markets, partially offset by lower common stock and additional
paid-in capital balances stemming from share repurchases during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008.

Fiscal
year 2010 cash provided by operating activities was consistent with fiscal year 2009 cash provided by operating activities.

During
fiscal year 2009, cash provided by operating activities was lower than in the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in working capital cash flow,
primarily related to a current year receivable from the purchaser of Trade Secret and a decrease in accrued payroll.

During
fiscal year 2008, cash provided by operating activities was lower than in the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to a decrease in working capital cash flow.

Cash
used by investing activities was lower during fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 due to the planned reduction in acquisitions and capital expenditures and the receipt of
$15.0 million on the revolving credit facility with EEG of which there was $0.0 and $15.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company completed 333
major remodeling projects during fiscal year 2010, compared to 280 and 186 during fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. We constructed 139 company-owned salons, 4 hair restoration centers and
acquired 26 company-owned salons (23 of which were franchise buybacks) and zero hair restoration centers.

Cash
used by investing activities was lower during fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 due to the planned reduction in acquisitions and capital expenditures. Acquisitions
during fiscal year 2009 were primarily funded by a combination of operating cash flows and debt. Additionally, the Company completed 280 major remodeling projects during fiscal year 2009, compared to
186 during fiscal year 2008. We constructed 182 company-owned salons, eight hair restoration centers and acquired 177 company-owned salons (83 of which were franchise buybacks) and two hair
restoration centers, all of which were franchise buybacks. In addition during fiscal year 2008, there was a $36.4 million loan to Empire Education Group, Inc. and a transfer of
$10.9 million in cash related to the deconsolidation of our schools and European franchise salon business.

During
fiscal year 2010, the primary use of cash within financing activities was for net repayments of long-term debt, partially offset by the issuance of common stock.

During
fiscal year 2009, the primary use of cash within financing activities was for net repayments on revolving credit facilities as reducing debt levels was one step the Company took
to help maintain its compliance with debt covenants. The Company utilized intercompany borrowings on a short-term basis as allowed by a recently expanded IRS ruling to reduce debt.

During
fiscal year 2008, net borrowings were primarily used to fund loans and acquisitions, share repurchases, and customary income tax payments. Acquisitions funded are discussed in
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The proceeds from the issuance of common stock were related to the exercise of stock options. The excess tax benefit from stock-based employee
compensation plans was recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.

New Financing Arrangements

Fiscal Year 2010

On July 8, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell to underwriters $150 million aggregate principal amount of
5.0 percent convertible senior notes due 2014, and 11,500,000 shares of its common stock at $12.37 per share, which was the closing price per share
on July 8, 2009. The Company completed the agreement on July 14, 2009. In addition, under the July 8, 2009 agreement, the Company granted the underwriters an
over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $22.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes, and up to an additional 1,725,000 shares of common stock, on the same terms
and conditions. The underwriters exercised such options in their entirety and, on July 21, 2009, the Company completed the issuance of the additional shares and notes for the exercise by the
underwriters of the over-allotment option of $22.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes and an additional 1,725,000 shares of common stock.

The
notes are unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and interest will be payable semi-annually at a rate of 5.0 percent per year. The notes will mature on
July 15, 2014. The notes will be convertible subject to certain conditions at an initial conversion rate of 64.6726 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes
(representing an initial conversion price of approximately $15.46 per share of the Company's common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The
net proceeds to the Company from the offerings of convertible senior notes and common stock were approximately $323.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and before
estimated offering expenses. The Company utilized the proceeds to repay $267.0 million of private placement senior term notes of varying maturities and $30.0 million of senior term notes
under the Private Shelf Agreement. As a result of the repayment of a portion of the senior term notes during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $12.8 million in
make-whole payments and other fees along with $5.2 million in interest rate swap settlements, as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, totaling
$18.0 million that was recorded as interest expense within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of
bank debt.

In
connection with the offerings above, on July 14, 2009, the Company amended the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and
Restated Private Shelf Agreement, all subject to the completion of the issuances of the convertible senior notes and common stock discussed above. The amendments included increasing the Company's
minimum net worth covenant from $675 to $800 million, lowering the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement from 1.5x to 1.3x, amending certain definitions, including EBITDA and Fixed Charges,
and limiting the Company's Restricted Payments to $20 million if the Company's Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.0x. In addition, the amendments to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement reduced the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility from $350.0 to $300.0 million and the amendments to the Restated Private Shelf Agreement incorporated a risk based
capital fee calculated on the daily average outstanding principal amount equal to an annual rate of 1.0 percent which commences one year after the effective date of the amendment. We were in
compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our credit agreement and senior notes as of June 30, 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009

During fiscal year 2009, we completed a $85 million term loan that matures in July 2012. The monthly interest payments are based
on a one-month LIBOR plus a 1.75 percent spread. The term loan includes customary financial covenants including a leverage ratio, fixed charge ratio and minimum net equity test. We
used the proceeds from the term loan to pay down our revolving line of credit

facility.
We were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our credit agreement and senior notes as of June 30, 2009.

Fiscal Year 2008

During fiscal year 2008, we refinanced our $350.0 million revolving credit facility. Among other changes, this amendment
extended the credit facility's expiration date to July 2012, reduced the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility and modified certain financial covenants. Additionally, we borrowed
$125.0 million, and amended the fixed charge coverage ratio under our Private Shelf Agreement.

Under
the terms of the July 12, 2007 revolving credit agreement, our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rent expense (EBITDAR) to fixed
charges (which includes rent and interest expenses) may not drop below 1.5 on a rolling four quarter basis. We were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our credit agreement and
senior notes as of June 30, 2008. Additionally, the credit agreements do not include rating triggers or subjective clauses that would accelerate maturity dates.

Other Financing Arrangements

Private Shelf Agreement

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had $174.1 and $239.6 million, respectively, in unsecured, fixed rate, senior term notes
outstanding under a Private Shelf Agreement. The notes require quarterly payments, and final maturity dates range from October 2010 through December 2017. The interest rates on the notes range from
5.65 to 8.39 percent as of June 30, 2010, and range from 4.65 to 8.39 percent as of June 30, 2009.

The
Private Shelf Agreement includes financial covenants including debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios
and minimum net equity tests (as defined within the Private Shelf Agreement), as well as other customary terms and conditions. The maturity date for the debt may be accelerated upon the occurrence of
various Events of Default, including breaches of the agreement, certain cross-default situations, certain bankruptcy related situations, and other customary events of default.

In
July 2009, the Company amended the Restated Private Shelf Agreement. The amendments included increasing the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $675 to $800 million,
lowering the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement from 1.5x to 1.3x, amending certain definitions, including EBITDA and Fixed Charges, limiting the Company's Restricted Payments to
$20 million if the Company's Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.0x and the addition of a risk based capital fee calculated on the daily average outstanding principal amount equal to an annual
rate of 1.0 percent that commences one year after the amendment date. During fiscal year 2010, the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock issuances in July 2009 were
utilized in part to repay $30.0 million of senior term notes under the Private Shelf Agreement.

Private Placement Senior Term Notes

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had $0.0 and $267.0 million, respectively, in private placement senior term notes. On
June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a prepayment amendment on the private placement senior term notes whereby the Company negotiated to prepay the notes with a premium over the principal
amount that is less than the make-whole premium that is otherwise payable upon redemption. During fiscal year 2010, the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock
issuances in July 2009 were utilized to repay the $267.0 million of private placement senior term notes.

As
a result of the repayment of a portion of the senior term notes during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $12.8 million in
make-whole payments and other fees along with $5.2 million in interest rate swap settlements, as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, totaling
$18.0 million that was recorded as interest expense within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions are discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Item 7, as well as in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The acquisitions were funded primarily from operating cash flow, debt and the issuance of
common stock.

(a)The
net proceeds of the July 2009 financing agreements were approximately $323.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and before estimated
offering expenses. The Company utilized the proceeds to repay $267.0 million of private placement senior term notes of varying maturities and $30.0 million of senior term notes under the
Private Shelf Agreement. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of bank debt.(b)In
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these obligations are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet.(c)As
of June 30, 2010, we have liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liabilities will
increase or decrease over time; however, at this time, we do not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next fiscal year. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information on our uncertain tax positions.


On-Balance Sheet Obligations

Our long-term obligations are composed primarily of senior term notes, term loan and a revolving credit facility. A portion
of the term loan is hedged by contracts with financial institutions commonly

67

Table of Contents

referred
to as interest rate swaps, as discussed in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk." Additionally, no adjustment was necessary to mark the
hedged portion of the debt obligation to fair value (a reduction to long-term debt). Interest payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations were estimated based on
each debt obligation's agreed upon rate as of June 30, 2010 and scheduled contractual repayments.

Other
long-term liabilities include a total of $18.2 million related to the Executive Profit Sharing Plan and a salary deferral program, $7.8 million (including
$0.3 million in interest) related to established contractual payment obligations under retirement and severance payment agreements for a small number of retired employees.

This
table excludes the short-term liabilities, other than the current portion of long-term debt, disclosed on our balance sheet as the amounts recorded for these
items will be paid in the next year. We have no unconditional purchase obligations, as defined by long-term obligations guidance. Also excluded from the contractual obligations table are
payment estimates associated with employee health and workers' compensation claims for which we are self-insured. The majority of our recorded liability for self-insured
employee health and workers' compensation losses represents estimated reserves for incurred claims that have yet to be filed or settled.

The
Company has unfunded deferred compensation contracts covering certain management and executive personnel. The deferred compensation contracts are offered to key executives based on
their accomplishments within the Company. Because we cannot predict the timing or amount of our future payments related to these contracts, such amounts were not included in the table above. Related
obligations totaled $30.0, $24.5, and $20.2 million at June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, and are included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The obligations are funded by insurance contracts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Operating leases primarily represent long-term obligations for the rental of salon and hair restoration center premises,
including leases for company-owned locations, as well as future salon franchisee lease payments of approximately $138.1 million, which are reimbursed to the Company by franchisees. Regarding
the franchisee subleases, we generally retain the right to the related salon assets net of any outstanding obligations in the event of a default by a franchise owner. Management has not experienced
and does not expect any material loss to result from these arrangements.

We
have interest rate swap contracts and forward foreign currency contracts. See Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," for a
detailed discussion of our derivative instruments. Future net settlements under these agreements are not included in the table above.

We
are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters, which indemnities may be secured by operation of
law or otherwise, in the ordinary course of business. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases and other real estate contracts, financial agreements, credit
facility of EEG, agreements to provide services, and agreements to indemnify officers, directors and employees in the performance of their work. While our aggregate indemnification obligation could
result in a material liability, we are not aware of any current matter that we expect to result in a material liability.

We
do not have other unconditional purchase obligations or significant other commercial commitments such as commitments under lines of credit and standby repurchase obligations or other
commercial commitments.

Table of Contents

Under the terms of the revolving credit facility amended in July 2009, our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent expense
(EBITDAR) to fixed charges (which includes rent and interest expenses) may not drop below 1.3 on a rolling four quarter basis. We were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our
credit agreements and senior notes during fiscal year 2010 and are currently in fiscal 2011. Additionally, the credit agreements do not include rating triggers or subjective clauses that would
accelerate maturity dates.

As
a part of our salon development program, we continue to negotiate and enter into leases and commitments for the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements related to future
salon locations, and continue to enter into transactions to acquire established hair care salons and businesses.

We
do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would
have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet financial arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes at June 30, 2010. As such, we are
not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Financing

Financing activities are discussed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in this Item 7 and in Note 8 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. Derivative activities are discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 and
Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."

Management
believes that cash generated from operations and amounts available under existing debt facilities will be sufficient to fund its anticipated capital expenditures, acquisitions
and required debt repayments for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2010, we have available an unused committed line of credit amount of $275.4 million under our existing revolving
credit facility.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $0.16 per share during fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008. On August 25, 2010, the Board of Directors of the
Company declared a $0.04 per share quarterly dividend payable September 22, 2010 to shareholders of record on September 8, 2010.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (BOD) approved a stock repurchase program. Originally, the program authorized up to
$50.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The BOD elected to increase this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, to $200.0 million on
May 3, 2005, and to $300.0 million on April 26, 2007. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and
overall market conditions. Historically, the repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions, restricted stock grants
and stock option exercises. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date. The Company did not repurchase any
shares during fiscal year 2010. As of June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, a total accumulated 6.8 million shares have been repurchased for $226.5 million. As of June 30, 2010,
$73.5 million remains to be spent on share repurchases under this program.

identified herein by use of words including, but not limited to, "may," "believe," "project," "forecast," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," and "plan." In addition, the following factors could
affect the Company's actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. These factors include the results and impact of the Company's
announcement to explore strategic alternatives, competition within the personal hair care industry, which remains strong, both domestically and internationally, price sensitivity; changes in economic
conditions and in particular, continued weakness in the U.S. and global economies; changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends; the ability of the Company to implement its planned spending and cost
reduction plan and to continue to maintain compliance with financial covenants in its credit agreements; labor and benefit costs; legal claims; risk inherent to international development (including
currency fluctuations); the continued ability of the Company and its franchisees to obtain suitable locations and financing for new salon development and to maintain satisfactory relationships with
landlords and other licensors with respect to existing locations; governmental initiatives such as minimum wage rates, taxes and possible franchise legislation; the ability of the Company to
successfully identify, acquire and integrate salons that support its growth objectives; the ability of the Company to maintain satisfactory relationships with suppliers; the ability of the Company to
consummate the planned closure of salons and the related realization of the anticipated costs, benefits and time frame; or other factors not listed above. The ability of the Company to meet its
expected revenue growth is dependent on salon acquisitions, new salon construction and same-store sales increases, all of which are affected by many of the aforementioned risks. Additional
information concerning potential factors that could affect future financial results is set forth under Item 1A of this Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, your attention is directed to any further disclosures made in our
subsequent annual and periodic reports filed or furnished with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and Proxy Statements on Schedule 14A.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary market risk exposure of the Company relates to changes in interest rates in connection with its debt, some of which bears
interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. Additionally, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation risk related to its net investments in its foreign
subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, changes in the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the management of these exposures through the use of
derivative financial instrument contracts. By policy, the Company does not enter into such contracts for the purpose of speculation. The following details the Company's policies and use of financial
instruments.

Interest Rate Risk:

The Company has established an interest rate management policy that attempts to minimize its overall cost of debt, while taking into
consideration the earnings implications associated with the volatility of short-term interest rates. As part of this policy, the Company has elected to maintain a combination of variable
and fixed rate debt. A one percent change in interest rates (including the impact of existing interest rate swap contracts) could impact the Company's interest expense by approximately
$0.5 million. During fiscal year 2008, the National Association of Insurance

Commissioners
downgraded Regis' private placement debt from investment-grade to non-investment grade. The downgrade did not have any effect on the private placement debt outstanding and
corresponding interest rate as of June 30, 2010. The downgrade has no impact on the Company's current revolving credit facility or its ability to secure future bank borrowings. Considering the
effect of interest rate swaps and including no increases to long-term debt related to fair value swaps at June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had the following outstanding debt
balances:

As of June 30,2010

$
534,307Variable rate debt


45,000


100,000$
440,029

$
634,307


The
Company manages its interest rate risk by continually assessing the amount of fixed and variable rate debt. On occasion, the Company uses interest rate swaps to further mitigate the
risk associated with changing interest rates and to maintain its desired balances of fixed and floating rate debt.

In
addition, the Company has entered into the following financial instruments:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts:

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed and variable rate debt. On occasion, the Company uses
interest rate swaps to further mitigate the risk associated with changing interest rates and to maintain its desired balances of fixed and variable rate debt. Generally, the terms of the interest rate
swap agreements contain monthly and quarterly settlement dates based on the notional amounts of the swap contracts.

Pay fixed rates, receive variable rates

During the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts that pay fixed rates
of interest and receive variable rates of interest (based on the one-month LIBOR) on notional amounts of indebtedness of $20.0 million each as of June 30, 2010, and mature in
July 2011, respectively. The Company will pay fixed rates of interest of approximately 3.0 percent and 3.4 percent on their respective $20.0 million. The contracts are on an
aggregate notional amount of indebtedness of $40.0 million related to the $85.0 million term loan, which the Company entered into during the three months ended December 31, 2008.
The contracts expire in July 2011 and the debt matures in July 2012. These interest rate swap contracts were designed and are effective as cash flow hedges. They were recorded at fair value within
other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with corresponding offset in deferred income taxes and other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity.

During
the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts that pay fixed rates of interest and receive variable rates of interest
(based on the three-month LIBOR) on notional amounts of indebtedness of $35.0 and $15.0 million, and mature in March 2013 and March 2015, respectively. These swaps were designated and were
effective as cash flow hedges. These cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding offset in other
comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. These contracts were terminated during fiscal year 2010 in conjunction with the repayment of the private placement senior term notes as discussed in
Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These contracts were settled for an aggregate loss of $5.2 million recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.

Pay variable rates, receive fixed rates

The Company had interest rate swap contracts under which it paid variable rates of interest (based on the three-month LIBOR plus a
credit spread) and received fixed rates of interest on an aggregate $5.0 million notional amount at June 30, 2008, with a maturation date of July 2008. These swaps were designated as
hedges of a portion of the Company's senior term notes and were being accounted for as fair value hedges.

During
fiscal year 2003, the Company terminated a portion of a $40.0 million interest rate swap contract. The remainder of this swap contract was terminated during the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2005. The terminations resulted in the Company realizing gains of $1.1 and $1.5 million during fiscal year 2005 and 2003, respectively, which were deferred in
long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and were being amortized against interest expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt that matured in July 2008. Approximately
$0.3, $0.5, and $0.5 million of the deferred gain was amortized against interest expense during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, resulting in the deferred gain being fully
amortized at June 30, 2009.

Tabular Presentation:

The following table presents information about the Company's debt obligations and derivative financial instruments that are sensitive
to changes in interest rates. For fixed rate debt obligations, the table presents principal amounts and related weighted-average interest rates by fiscal year of maturity. For variable rate
obligations, the table presents principal amounts and the weighted-average forward LIBOR interest rates as of June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2015. For the Company's derivative financial
instruments, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be
exchanged under the contract.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk:

The majority of the Company's revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in United States dollars. However,
because a portion of the Company's operations consists of activities outside of the United States, the Company has transactions in other currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, British pound and
Euro. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required to translate the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries from the currency in which they keep their
accounting records, generally the local currency, into United States dollars. Different exchange rates from period to period impact the amounts of reported income and the amount of foreign currency
translation recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company frequently evaluates its foreign currency exchange risk by monitoring market data
and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, the Company may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments to hedge assets, liabilities and
purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has entered into the following financial instruments to manage its foreign currency exchange risk:

Hedge of the Net Investment in Foreign Subsidiaries:

The Company has numerous investments in foreign subsidiaries, and the net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to exchange rate
volatility. The Company frequently evaluates its foreign currency exchange risk by monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, the Company
may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments to hedge assets, liabilities and purchases denominated in foreign currencies.

During
September 2006, the Company's cross-currency swap (which had a notional amount of $21.3 million and hedged a portion of the Company's net investment in its foreign
operations) was settled, resulting in a cash outlay of $8.9 million. This cash outlay was recorded within investing activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The related
cumulative tax-effected net loss of $7.9 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in fiscal year 2007. This amount will remain deferred within AOCI
indefinitely, as the event which would trigger its release from AOCI and recognition in earnings is the sale or liquidation of the Company's international operations that the cross-currency swap
hedged. The Company currently has no intent to sell or liquidate this portion of its business operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:

The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk includes risks related to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S.
dollar. The exposure to Canadian dollar exchange rates on the Company's fiscal year 2010 cash flows primarily includes payments in Canadian dollars from the Company's operations for retail inventory
exported from the United States.

The
Company seeks to manage exposure to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. In order to do so, the Company has entered into forward currency contracts from fiscal year 2007 to
fiscal year 2010 in order to reduce the risk of significant negative impact on its U.S. dollar cash flows or income. The Company does not hedge foreign currency exposure in a manner that would
entirely eliminate the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on net income and cash flows. On March 12, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company entered into several forward
foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars and buy an aggregate of $8.7 million U.S. dollars, respectively, with maturation dates between July 30, 2010 and September 30,
2011. The purpose of the forward contracts was to protect against adverse movements in the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The contracts were designated and were effective as cash flow hedges. They
were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities or other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with corresponding offsets primarily recorded in other comprehensive income
(loss), net of tax. Forward currency contracts to sell Canadian

dollars
and buy $8.7 million U.S. dollars were outstanding as of June 30, 2010 to hedge intercompany transactions. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion.

The
Company uses freestanding derivative forward contracts to offset the Company's exposure to the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated intercompany assets and
liabilities. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized currently in earnings thereby offsetting the current
earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

On
June 14, 2010, the Company entered into a freestanding derivative forward contract to sell Canadian dollars and buy an aggregate $14.0 million U.S. dollars, with a
maturation date in July 2010.

The
table below provides information about the Company's forecasted transactions in U.S. dollar equivalents. (The information is presented in U.S. dollars because that is the Company's
reporting currency.) The table summarizes information on transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates and the related foreign currency forward exchange agreements. For the
foreign currency forward exchange agreements, the table presents the notional amounts and weighted average exchange
rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. These notional amounts generally are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.

Management's Statement of Responsibility for Financial Statements and  Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Financial Statements

Management is responsible for preparation of the consolidated financial statements and other related financial information included in
this annual report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, incorporating management's reasonable estimates and judgments, where applicable.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This report is provided by management pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC rules promulgated
thereunder. Management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for
assessing effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

The
Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of the Company; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management
has assessed the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on criteria established inInternal
ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the assessment of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The
Company's independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting
as of June 30, 2010, as stated in their report which follows in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Regis Corporation:

In
our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders' equity and comprehensive income and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regis Corporation and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also
in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated
Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's
management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in Management's Statement of Responsibility for Financial Statements and Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on
these financial statements and on the
Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit
of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Description:

Regis Corporation (the Company) owns, operates and franchises hairstyling and hair care salons throughout the United States, the United
Kingdom (U.K.), Canada, Puerto Rico and several other countries. In addition, the Company owns and operates hair restoration centers in the United States and Canada. Substantially all of the
hairstyling and hair care salons owned and operated by the Company in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico are located in leased space in enclosed mall shopping centers, strip shopping centers or
Wal-Mart Supercenters. Franchise salons throughout the United States are primarily located in strip shopping centers. The company-owned salons in the U.K. are owned and operated in malls,
leading department stores, mass merchants and high-street locations. The hair restoration centers, including both company-owned and franchise locations, are typically located in leased
space within office buildings. The Company maintains ownership interest in salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers through equity-method investments.

Consolidation:

The Consolidated 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.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America 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
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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. Translation adjustments arising from the use of
differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. Statement of Operations accounts are translated at the average rates
of exchange prevailing during the year. The different exchange rates from period to period impact the amount of reported income from the Company's international operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist of investments in short-term, highly liquid securities having original maturities of three months
or less, which are made as a part of the Company's cash management activity. The carrying values of these assets approximate their fair market values. The Company primarily utilizes a cash management
system with a series of separate accounts consisting of lockbox accounts for receiving cash, concentration accounts that funds are moved to, and several "zero balance" disbursement accounts for
funding of payroll and accounts payable. As a result of the Company's cash management system, checks issued, but not presented to the banks for payment, may create negative book cash balances. There
were no checks outstanding in excess of related book cash balances at June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The receivable balance on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet primarily includes accounts and notes receivable from franchisees.
The balance is presented net of an allowance for expected losses (i.e., doubtful accounts), primarily related to receivables from the Company's franchisees. The Company monitors the financial
condition of its franchisees and records provisions for estimated losses on receivables when it believes that its franchisees are unable to make their required payments based on factors such as
delinquencies and aging trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing accounts and notes receivable.

The
following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Inventories:

Inventories consist principally of hair care products for retail product sales. A portion of inventories are also used for salon
services consisting of hair color, hair care products including shampoo and conditioner and hair care treatments including permanents,
neutralizers and relaxers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a weighted average cost basis.

Physical
inventory counts are performed semi-annually. Product and service inventories are adjusted based on the results of the physical inventory counts. Between the
physical inventory counts, cost of retail product sold to salon customers is determined based on the weighted average cost of product sold, adjusted for an estimated shrinkage factor, and the cost of
product used in salon services is determined by applying estimated gross profit margins to service revenues. The estimated gross profit margins related to service inventories are updated
semi-annually based on the results of the physical inventory counts and other factors that could impact the Company's margin rate estimates such as mix of service sales, discounting and
special promotions. Actual results for the estimated gross margin percentage as compared to the semi-annual estimates have not historically resulted in material adjustments to our
Statement of Operations.

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 (30 to 39 years for buildings, 10 years for improvements and three to 10 years
for equipment, furniture and software). Depreciation expense was $92.5, $105.1, and

$108.7 million
in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease term, generally
10 years. For leases with renewal periods at the Company's option, management may determine at the inception of the lease that renewal is reasonably assured if failure to exercise a renewal
option imposes an economic penalty to the Company. In such cases, the Company will include the renewal option period along with the original lease term in the determination of appropriate estimated
useful lives.

The
Company capitalizes both internal and external costs of developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during
the application development stage are capitalized, while data conversion, training and maintenance costs associated with internal-use software are expensed as incurred. At June 30,
2010 and 2009, the net book value of capitalized software costs was $35.2 and $40.4 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized software was $8.5, $9.1, and
$8.3 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, which has been determined based on an estimated useful life of five or seven years.

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 and amortization accounts are adjusted for property retirements and disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in
operating income. Fully depreciated or amortized assets remain in the accounts until retired from service.

Investment In and Loans to Affiliates:

The Company has equity investments in securities of certain privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments under
the equity method of accounting. The Company also has loans receivable from certain of these entities. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded at the amount of the Company's
investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest the
Company's investment may not be recoverable. During fiscal year 2009, we recorded impairments of $25.7 million and $7.8 million ($4.8 million net of tax) related to our investment
in Provalliance and investment in and loans to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC, respectively.

Self-insurance Accruals:

The Company uses a combination of third party insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks including workers'
compensation, health insurance, employment practice liability and general liability claims. The liability represents an estimate of the undiscounted ultimate cost of uninsured claims incurred as of
the balance sheet date.

The
workers' compensation, general liability and employment practice liability analysis includes applying loss development factors to the Company's historical claims data (total paid and
incurred amounts per claim) for all policy years where the Company has not reached its aggregate limits to project the future development of incurred claims. The workers' compensation analysis is
performed for four models; California, Ohio, Texas and all other states. A variety of accepted actuarial methodologies are followed to determine these liabilities, including several methods to predict
the loss development factors for each policy period. These liabilities are determined by modeling the frequency (number of claims) and severity (cost of claims), fitting statistical distributions to
the experience, and then running simulations. A similar analysis is performed for both general liability and employment practices liability,

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

however,
it is a single model for all liability claims rather than the four separate models used for workers' compensation.

The
health insurance analysis utilizes trailing twelve months of paid and 24 months of incurred medical and prescription claims to project the amount of incurred but not yet
reported claims liability amount. The lag factors are developed based on the Company's specific claim data utilizing a completion factor methodology. The developed factor, expressed as a percentage of
paid claims, is applied to the trailing twelve months of paid claims to calculate the estimated liability amount. The calculated liability amount is reviewed for reasonableness based on reserve
adequacy ranges for historical periods by testing prior reserve levels against actual expenses to date.

Although
the Company does not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from the estimates, self-insurance accruals could be affected if future claims
experience differs significantly from the historical trends and actuarial assumptions. For fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company recorded decreases in expense from changes in estimates
related to prior year open policy periods related to continuing operations of $1.7, $9.9, and $6.9 million, respectively. A 10.0 percent change in the self-insurance reserve
would affect income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in income of affiliated companies by $4.5, $4.0, and $4.7 million for the three years ended June 30, 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company updates loss projections each year and adjusts its recorded liability to reflect the current projections. The updated loss projections consider new claims and
developments associated with existing claims for each open policy period. As certain claims can take years to settle, the Company has multiple policy periods open at any point in time.

As
the workers' compensation accrual is the majority of the self-insurance accrual, below is a rollforward of the activity within the Company's workers' compensation
self-insurance accrual:

As

self-insurance accruals which includes the workers' compensation self-insurance accrual.

Goodwill:

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at the time of a triggering event. In evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the
Company compares the carrying value of each reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The carrying value of each reporting unit is based on the assets and
liabilities associated with the operations of the reporting unit,

85

---



Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

including
allocation of shared or corporate balances among reporting units. Allocations are generally based on the number of salons in each reporting unit as a percent of total company-owned salons.

The
Company calculates the estimated fair value of the reporting units based on discounted future cash flows that utilize estimates in annual revenue, gross margins, fixed expense rates,
allocated corporate overhead, and long-term growth for determining terminal value. The Company's estimated future cash flows also take into consideration acquisition integration and
maturation. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow. The Company considers its various concepts to be reporting
units when testing for goodwill impairment because that is where the Company believes the goodwill resides. The Company periodically engage third-party valuation consultants to assist in evaluation of
the Company's estimated fair value calculations. The Company's policy is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test during its third quarter of each fiscal year ending June 30.

In
the situations where a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The measurement of impairment is
calculated by determining the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all other
assets and liabilities of that unit based on the relative fair values. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amount assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair
value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

The
Regis salon concept reported same-store sales results of negative 5.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which was unfavorable compared to
the Company's budgeted same-store sales. Such results indicated customer visitation patterns were not rebounding as quickly as the Company had originally projected. Accordingly, the
Company reduced the budgeted financial projections for the remainder of fiscal 2010 and all of fiscal year 2011. The lowered projections assume the higher price point Regis salon concept remains
strong and viable but will require a longer, slower recovery. As a result of the lowered projections for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 and all of fiscal year 2011, the estimated fair value of the
Regis salon concept decreased to a level below the Regis salon concept's carrying value. As a result of the Company's annual impairment analysis of goodwill during the third quarter of fiscal year
2010, a $35.3 million impairment charge was recorded within continuing operations for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Regis salon
concept.

As
of March 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of the Promenade salon concept exceeded its respective carrying value by approximately 10.0 percent. The respective fair
values of the Company's remaining reporting units exceeded fair value by greater than 20.0 percent. While the Company has determined the estimated fair values of Regis and Promenade to be
appropriate based on the historical level of revenue growth, operating income and cash flows, it is reasonably likely that Regis and Promenade may become impaired in future periods. The term
"reasonably likely" refers to an occurrence that is more than remote but less than probable in the judgment of the Company. Because some of the inherent assumptions and estimates used in determining
the fair value of this reportable segment are outside the control of management, changes in these underlying assumptions can adversely impact fair value. Potential impairment of a portion or all of
the carrying value of the Regis salon concept and Promenade salon concept goodwill is dependent on many factors and cannot be predicted with certainty.

capitalization which included an assumed control premium. The Company concluded there were no triggering events that would require the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test between
the annual impairment testing and June 30, 2010.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessments, Excluding Goodwill:

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment at the salon level annually or if events or circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company's test for impairment of property and equipment is performed at a salon level as this is the lowest level for which
identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of
undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets that does not recover the carrying value of the related salon assets. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted
estimated future cash flow is zero or negative, impairment is measured as the full carrying value of the related salon's equipment and leasehold improvements. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted
cash flows is greater than zero but less than the carrying value of the related salon's equipment and leasehold improvements, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of
the salon assets and impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the salon assets and the estimated fair value. The fair value estimate is based on the best information
available, including market data.

During
fiscal year 2010, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized impairment charges related primarily to the carrying value of certain salons'
property and equipment of $6.4 million. Of the $6.4 million in total impairment charges recognized in fiscal year 2010, $6.2 and $0.2 million related to North America and the
United Kingdom, respectively. During fiscal year 2009, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized impairment charges related primarily to the carrying value of
certain salons' property and equipment of $10.2 million. Of the $10.2 million in total impairment charges recognized in fiscal year 2009, $4.3 and $5.9 million related to North
America and the United Kingdom, respectively. The United Kingdom impairment charges in fiscal year 2009 included charges related to the Company's June 2009 plan to close up to
80 underperforming company-owned salons in fiscal year 2010. During fiscal year 2008, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized impairment charges
related primarily to the

Table of Contents

carrying
value of certain salons' property and equipment of $10.5 million, related to the Company's July 2008 plan to close up to 160 underperforming company-owned salons in fiscal year
2009. Of the $10.5 million in total impairment charges recognized in fiscal year 2008, $5.0, $1.1, and $4.4 million related to North America, United Kingdom, and discontinued operations
salons, respectively. The Company also evaluated the appropriateness of the remaining useful lives of its non-impaired property and equipment and whether a change to the depreciation
charge was warranted. Impairment charges for continuing operations are included in depreciation related to company-owned salons in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Deferred Rent and Rent Expense:

The Company leases most salon and hair restoration center locations under operating leases. Rent expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives, rent holidays, and rent escalation clauses which provide for scheduled rent increases
during the lease term or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line
basis over the lease term (including one renewal option period if renewal is reasonably assured based on the imposition of an economic penalty for failure to exercise the renewal option). The
difference between the rent due under the stated
periods of the lease compared to that of the straight-line basis is recorded as deferred rent within other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For
purposes of recognizing incentives and minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, the Company uses the date that it obtains the legal
right to use and control the leased space to begin amortization, which is generally when the Company enters the space and begins to make improvements in preparation of intended use of the leased
space.

Certain
leases provide for contingent rents, which are determined as a percentage of revenues in excess of specified levels. The Company records a contingent rent liability in accrued
expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, along with the corresponding rent expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, when specified levels have been achieved or when management
determines that achieving the specified levels during the fiscal year is probable.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:

Company-owned salon revenues and related cost of sales are recognized at the time of sale, as this is when the services have been
provided or, in the case of product revenues, delivery has occurred, and the salon receives the customer's payment. Revenues from purchases made with gift cards are also recorded when the customer
takes possession of the merchandise or services are provided. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) until they are redeemed. An accrual for estimated returns
and credits has been recorded based on historical customer return data that management believes to be reasonable, and is less than one percent of sales.

Product
sales by the Company to its franchisees are included within product revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded at the time product is shipped to franchise
locations. The related cost of product sold to franchisees is included within cost of product in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Company-owned hair restoration center revenues stem primarily from servicing hair systems and surgical procedures, as well as through product and hair system sales. The Company records
deferred revenue for contracts related to the servicing of hair systems and recognizes the revenue ratably over the term of the service contract. Revenues are recognized related to surgical procedures
when the procedure is performed. Product revenues, including sales of hair systems, are recognized at the time of application, as this is when delivery occurs and payment is probable.

Franchise
revenues primarily include royalties, initial franchise fees and net rental income (see Note 10). Royalties are recognized as revenue in the month in which franchisee
services are rendered. The Company recognizes revenue from initial franchise fees at the time franchise locations are opened, as this is generally when the Company has performed all initial services
required under the franchise agreement.

Consideration Received from Vendors:

The Company receives consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs. These programs primarily include volume rebates and
promotion and advertising reimbursements. Promotion and advertising reimbursements are discussed under Advertising within this note.

respect to volume rebates, the Company estimates the amount of rebate it will receive and accrues it as a reduction of the cost of inventory over the period in which the rebate is
earned based upon historical purchasing patterns and the terms of the volume rebate program. A periodic analysis is performed, at least quarterly, in order to ensure that the estimated rebate accrued
is reasonable, and any necessary adjustments are recorded.

Shipping and Handling Costs:

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to store, move and ship product from the Company's distribution centers to company-owned and
franchise locations, and include an allocation of internal overhead. Such shipping and handling costs related to product shipped to company-owned locations are included in site operating expenses in
the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Shipping and handling costs related to shipping product to franchise locations totaled $2.9, $2.7, and $3.4 million during fiscal years 2010, 2009, and
2008, respectively, and are included within general and administrative expenses. Any amounts billed to the franchisee for shipping and handling are included in product revenues within the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

Advertising:

Advertising costs, including salon collateral material, are expensed as incurred. The following table breaks out advertising costs
expensed and included in continuing operations, and advertising costs expensed and included in discontinued operations in fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008:

The
Company participates in cooperative advertising programs under which the vendor reimburses the Company for costs related to advertising for its products. The Company records such
reimbursements as a reduction of advertising expense when the expense is incurred. During fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, no amounts were received in excess of the Company's related expense.

Advertising Funds:

The Company has various franchising programs supporting its franchise salon concepts consisting of Supercuts, Cost Cutters, First
Choice Haircutters, Magicuts, Pro Cuts , Beauty Supply Outlet and Hair Club. Most of the concepts maintain advertising funds that provide comprehensive advertising and sales promotion support.

The
Supercuts advertising fund is the Company's largest advertising fund. The Supercuts advertising fund is administered by a council consisting primarily of franchisee representatives.
The council has overall control of all of the fund's expenditures and operates in accordance with terms of the franchise operating and other agreements.

Each
Supercuts salon contributes 5.0 percent of service revenues to the fund (contributions for other concepts range between 1.5 and 5.0 percent). The majority of the
advertising funds are spent to support media placement and local marketing activities. The remainder is allocated for the creation of national advertising campaigns and system wide activities. None of
the Supercuts advertising funds collected may be used by the Company as reimbursement for the cost of administering the advertising fund. Advertising funds can only be used as directed by the fund's
council and are considered to be restricted.

The
Company records all advertising funds as assets and liabilities within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, approximately $18.0 and
$16.8 million, respectively, of the advertising funds' assets were recorded within total assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, approximately
$18.0 and $16.8 million, respectively, of the advertising funds' liabilities were recorded within total liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The
Company records advertising expense in the period the company-owned salon makes contributions to the respective advertising fund. During fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 total
contributions to the franchise brand advertising funds totaled $39.8, $39.4, and $36.2 million, respectively.

The
Company acts as an agent for the franchisees with regard to these contributions to the advertising funds. Thus, in accordance with guidance for accounting for franchise fee revenue,
the Company does not reflect contributions to these advertising funds by its franchisees in its Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows but reflects the related
assets and liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Preopening Expenses:

Non-capital expenditures such as payroll, training costs and promotion incurred prior to the opening of a new location are
expensed as incurred.

Sales Taxes:

Sales taxes are recorded on a net basis (rather than as both revenue and an expense) within the Company's Consolidated Statement of
Operations.

Income Taxes:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in
the Consolidated Financial Statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets
and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is ultimately dependent upon future
taxable income. Inherent in the measurement of deferred balances are certain judgments and interpretations of tax laws and published guidance with respect to the Company's operations. Income tax
expense is primarily the current tax payable for the period and the change during the period in certain deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Net Income Per Share:

The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding
unvested outstanding restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The Company's dilutive earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares and common
share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issuable under the Company's stock option plan and long-term incentive plan, shares issuable under contingent stock agreements, and
dilutive securities. Stock-based awards with exercise prices greater than the average market value of the Company's common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The
Company's diluted earnings per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Company's convertible debt if the impact is dilutive. The impact of the convertible debt is excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

Comprehensive Income:

Components of comprehensive income for the Company include net income, changes in fair value of financial instruments designated as
hedges of interest rate or foreign currency exposure and foreign currency translation charged or credited to the cumulative translation account within shareholders'

Derivative Instruments:

The Company may manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk within the Consolidated Financial Statements through the
use of derivative financial instruments, according to its hedging policy. The Company does not use derivatives with a level of complexity or with a risk higher than the exposures to be hedged and does
not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company currently has or had interest rate swaps designated as both cash flow and fair value hedges, treasury locks designated as
cash flow hedges, a hedge of its net investment in its European operations and forward foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign
currency. Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The
Company follows guidance for accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, as amended and interpreted, which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance
sheet at fair value. This guidance also requires companies to designate all derivatives that qualify as hedging instruments as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in
foreign operations.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

This
designation is based upon the exposure being hedged. Cash flow and fair value hedges are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge by matching the terms of the contract to the
underlying transaction. At inception, as dictated by the facts and circumstances, all hedges are expected to be highly effective, as the critical terms of these instruments are generally the same as
those of the underlying risks being hedged. All derivatives designated as hedging instruments are assessed for effectiveness on an on-going basis. For purposes of the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with all derivatives (designated as hedges or freestanding economic hedges) are classified in the same category as the related cash flows subject to the
hedging relationship.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans:

Stock-based compensation awards are granted under the terms of the 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (2004 Plan) and the 2000 Stock Option
Plan. Additionally, the Company has outstanding stock options under its 1991 Stock Option Plan, although the Plan terminated in 2001. Under these plans, four types of stock-based compensation awards
are granted: stock options, equity-based stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock awards (RSAs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). The stock-based awards, other than the RSUs, expire within
ten years from the grant date. The RSUs cliff vest after five years, and payment of the RSUs is deferred until January 31 of the year following vesting. Unvested awards are subject to
forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. The Company utilizes an option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options and SARs at their grant date. Stock options and SARs are
granted at not less than fair market value on the date of grant. The Company generally recognizes compensation expense for its stock-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis over
the five-year vesting period. Awards granted do not contain acceleration of vesting terms for retirement eligible recipients. The Company's primary employee stock-based compensation grant
occurs during the fourth quarter.

Effective
July 1, 2005, the Company adopted guidance for share-based payments using the modified prospective method of application. Under this method, compensation expense is
recognized both for (i) awards granted, modified or settled subsequent to July 1, 2003 and (ii) the remaining vesting periods of awards issued prior to July 1, 2003. The
impact of adopting this guidance during fiscal year 2010 and 2009 was zero and during fiscal year 2008 was an increase in compensation expense of $0.4 million. This increase in compensation
expense did not impact basic or diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2008. Compensation expense recorded during fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 includes $9.3, $7.5, and $6.5 million,
respectively, related to awards issued subsequent to July 1, 2003 and $0.0, $0.0, and $0.4 million, respectively, related to unvested awards previously being accounted for on the
intrinsic value method of accounting.

Total
compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaled $9.3, $7.5, and $6.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Guidance adopted by the Company for share-based payments requires that the cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of increases in the value of stock-based arrangements be presented as a
cash inflow from financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The amount presented as a financing activity for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $0.2, $0.2, and
$1.4 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that establishes two levels of U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), authoritative and nonauthoritative. The guidance establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC
under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification was effective
on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification changed the Company's references to GAAP accounting standards,
but did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

In February 2008, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities. The new guidance permitted a one-year deferral of the application of fair value accounting for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

The
adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2009, for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance for accounting for business combinations. The guidance establishes principles and
requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree and the
goodwill acquired. Some of the key changes are the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including: (1) accounting for acquired in process research and development
as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until approved or discontinued rather than as an immediate expense; (2) expensing acquisition costs rather than adding them to the cost of an
acquisition; (3) expensing restructuring costs in connection with an acquisition rather than adding them to the cost of an acquisition; (4) including the fair value of contingent
consideration at the date of an acquisition in the cost of an acquisition; and (5) recording an asset or liability arising from a contingency at the date of an acquisition at fair value if fair
value can be reasonably determined. If fair value can not be determined, the asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with accounting for contingencies guidance.

The
adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2009, for business combinations, did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The guidance may have a material impact on future fiscal periods in the event the Company's acquisition activity increases.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on disclosures about fair value of financial instruments to be presented in interim financial
statements in addition to annual financial statements. The Company adopted the new disclosure guidance about fair value of financial instruments on July 1, 2009.

In
January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the
transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair
value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities
on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements).

The
Company adopted the new disclosure guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will
be adopted by the Company on July 1, 2011.

Participating Securities Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions

In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance that clarified all share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable
dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Therefore, awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing
basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied rather than the treasury stock method. In addition, once effective, all prior period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted
retrospectively to conform to the provisions of the guidance.

The
Company's outstanding unvested restricted stock awards do not contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends and as a result, the adoption of the new guidance on
July 1, 2009, had no impact on the Company's diluted earnings per share.

Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations

In November 2008, the FASB issued guidance that indicates, among other things, that transaction costs for an investment should be
included in the cost of the equity-method investment (and not expensed) and shares subsequently issued by the equity-method investee that reduce the investor's ownership percentage should be accounted
for as if the investor had sold a proportionate share of its investment, with gains or losses recorded through earnings.

The
adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2009, for equity method investment accounting considerations did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted by the Company:

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance removes the
criterion that entities must use objective and reliable evidence of fair value in separately accounting for deliverables and provides entities with a hierarchy of evidence

95

---



Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

that
must be considered when allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance also requires entities to allocate arrangement consideration to the separate units of accounting based on the
deliverables' relative selling price. The provisions will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the Company's fiscal year 2011 and must be applied prospectively.
The adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2010, for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows.

Amendments to Accounting for Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for variable interest entities. The guidance amends previous variable interest
entity guidance to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it
has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures that will provide
users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. It would also require ongoing assessments to determine whether an
entity is a variable interest entity and whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year 2011. The adoption of
the new guidance on July 1, 2010, for variable interest entities, will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 16, 2009, the Company sold its Trade Secret salon concept (Trade Secret). The Company concluded, after a comprehensive review of strategic and financial options, to
divest Trade Secret. The sale of Trade Secret included 655 company-owned salons and 57 franchise salons, all of which had historically been reported within the Company's North America
reportable segment. The sale of Trade Secret included CCI. CCI owned and operated PureBeauty and BeautyFirst salons which were acquired by the Company on February 20, 2008.

The
Company concluded that Trade Secret qualified as held for sale as of December 31, 2008, under accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived asset
guidance, and is presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The operations and cash flows of Trade Secret have been eliminated from
ongoing operations of the Company and there will be no significant continuing involvement in the operations after disposal pursuant to guidance in determining whether to report discontinued
operations. The agreement included a provision that the Company would supply product to the buyer of Trade Secret and provide certain administrative services for a transition period. Under this
agreement, the Company recognized $20.0 and $32.2 million of product revenues on the supply of product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret and $1.9 and $2.9 million of other income
related to the administrative services during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The
agreement was substantially complete as of September 30, 2009. Beginning within the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company has an agreement in which the Company
provides warehouse services to the purchaser of Trade Secret. Under the warehouse services agreement, the Company

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (Continued)

recognized
$3.0 million of other income related to warehouse services during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

As
of June 30, 2010, $31.6 million was due to the Company from the purchaser of Trade Secret, $2.6 million was classified within current assets and
$29.0 million was classified within other assets. During fiscal year 2010, the Company entered into a formal note receivable agreement with the purchaser of Trade Secret that requires quarterly
interest payments of 8.0 percent and quarterly principal payments that escalate until the final payment in November of 2014. The Company recognized $1.2 million of interest income
related to the note receivable agreement for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. On July 6, 2010, the purchaser of Trade Secret filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Collateral for
the receivables under the agreement is assets of the purchaser of Trade Secret, the Company believes fully collateralizes the $31.6 million.

The
Company utilized the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not Trade Secret was a variable interest entity (VIE), and if so, whether the
Company was the primary beneficiary of the Trade Secret. The Company concluded that Trade Secret is a VIE based on the fact that the equity investment at risk in Trade Secret is insufficient. The
Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Trade Secret based on its exposure to the expected losses of Trade Secret and as it is not the variable interest holder that is most
closely associated within the relationship and the significance of the activities of Trade Secret. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with Trade Secret is the carrying value of
the amount due from the purchaser of Trade Secret and the guarantee of 31 operating leases that the Company has determined the risk of loss to be remote.

The
income (loss) from discontinued operations are summarized below:

During

benefit related to the disposition of the Trade Secret salon concept. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to its results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30,
2010 or its financial position or results of operations of any prior periods.

All
intangible assets have been assigned an estimated finite useful life, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the number of years that approximate their expected
period of benefit (ranging from one to 40 years). The cost of intangible assets is amortized to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in that
reporting period. The weighted average amortization periods, in total and by major intangible asset class, are as follows:

(1)During
fiscal years 2005, the Company guaranteed that the stock issued in conjunction with one of its acquisitions would reach a certain market price by the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The guaranteed stock price was factored into the purchase price at the acquisition date by recording an increase to additional
paid-in-capital for the differential between the stock price at the date of acquisition and the guaranteed stock price. However, the stock did not reach this price during the
agreed upon time frame. Therefore, the Company was obligated to issue $2.9 million in additional consideration to the sellers during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The
$2.9 million in fiscal year 2008 represents the difference between the guaranteed stock price and the actual stock price on the last day of the agreed upon time frame, and was recorded as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital.

The
majority of the purchase price in salon acquisitions is accounted for as residual goodwill rather than identifiable intangible assets. This stems from the value associated with the
walk-in customer base of the acquired salons, which is not recorded as an identifiable intangible asset under current accounting guidance, as well as the limited value and customer
preference associated with the acquired hair salon brand. Key factors considered by consumers of hair salon services include personal relationships with individual stylists, service quality and price
point competitiveness. These attributes represent the "going concern" value of the salon.

Residual
goodwill further represents the Company's opportunity to strategically combine the acquired business with the Company's existing structure to serve a greater number of customers
through its expansion strategies. In the acquisitions of international salons and hair restoration centers, the residual goodwill primarily represents the growth prospects that are not captured as
part of acquired tangible or identified intangible assets. Generally, the goodwill recognized in the North American salon transactions is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes and the
goodwill recognized in the international salon transactions is non-deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill generated in certain acquisitions, such as the acquisition of hair restoration
centers, is not deductible for tax purposes due to the acquisition structure of the transaction.

During
fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the Company purchased salon operations from its franchisees. The Company evaluated the effective settlement of the pre-existing franchise
contracts and associated rights afforded by those contracts. The Company determined that the effective settlement of the pre-existing franchise contracts at the date of the acquisition did
not result in a gain
or loss, as the agreements were neither favorable nor unfavorable when compared to similar current market transactions, and no settlement provisions exist in the pre-existing contracts.
Therefore, no settlement gain or loss was recognized with respect to the Company's franchise buybacks.

(1)As
a result of the Company's annual impairment testing of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2010, a $35.3 million impairment
charge was recorded within continuing operations for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Regis salon concept.(2)During
the three months ended December 31, 2008 the fair value of the Company's stock declined such that it began trading below book value per share.
As a result of the Company's interim impairment test of goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2008, a $41.7 million impairment charge for the full carrying amount of
goodwill within the salon concepts in the United Kingdom.(3)Goodwill
acquired includes adjustments to prior year acquisitions, primarily representing the finalization of purchase price allocations. For the twelve
months ended June 30, 2009 the $1.3 million reduction to international goodwill related to the settlement of the escrow account on an acquisition that closed in September 2007.(4)As
the proceeds the Company received from the sale of Trade Secret were negligible, the Company recognized a $78.1 million goodwill impairment charge
within discontinued operations during fiscal year 2009.

Investment in Provalliance

On January 31, 2008, the Company merged its continental European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck
Provost Salon Group in exchange for a 30.0 percent equity interest in the newly formed Provalliance entity (Provalliance). The merger with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group which
are also located in continental Europe, created Europe's largest salon operator with approximately 2,500 company-owned and franchise salons as of June 30, 2010.

The
merger agreement contains a right (Equity Put) to require the Company to purchase an additional ownership interest in Provalliance between specified dates in 2010 to 2018. The
acquisition price is determined based on a multiple of the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of Provalliance for a trailing twelve month period adjusted for certain items
as defined in the agreement which is intended to approximate fair value. The initial estimated fair value of the Equity Put as of January 31, 2008, approximately $24.8 million, has been
included as a component of the Company's investment in Provalliance. A corresponding liability for the same amount as the Equity Put was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities. Any changes in the
estimated fair value of the Equity Put are recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded a $0.5 million increase in the fair value of the Equity Put
during fiscal year 2010, see further discussion within Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recorded a $2.1 million increase in the fair value of the Equity Put
during fiscal year 2009. Any changes related to foreign currency translation are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company recorded a $2.6 million decrease in the Equity
Put related to foreign currency translation during fiscal year 2010, see further discussion within Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. If the Equity Put is exercised, and the
Company fails to complete the purchase, the parties exercising the Equity Put will be entitled to exercise various remedies against the Company, including the right to purchase the Company's interest
in Provalliance for a purchase price determined based on a discounted multiple of the earnings before interest and taxes of Provalliance for a trailing twelve month period. The merger agreement also
contains an option (Equity Call) whereby the Company can acquire additional

6. INVESTMENTS IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES (Continued)

ownership
interest in Provalliance between specific dates in 2018 to 2020 at an acquisition price determined consistent with the Equity Put.

The
Company utilized the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not its investment in Provalliance was a VIE, and if so, whether the Company was the
primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company concluded that Provalliance is a VIE based on the fact that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack the obligation to absorb the
expected losses of the entity. The Equity Put is based on a formula that may or may not be at market when exercised, therefore, it could provide the Company with the characteristic of a controlling
financial interest or could prevent the Franck Provost Salon Group from absorbing its share of expected losses by transferring such obligation to the Company. Under certain circumstances, including a
decline in the fair value of Provalliance, the Equity Put could be exercised and the Franck Provost Group could be protected from absorbing the downside of the equity interest. As the Equity Put
absorbs a large amount of variability this characteristic results in Provalliance being a VIE.

Regis
determined that the relationship and the significance of the activities of Provalliance is more closely associated with the Franck Provost Group. Furthermore, the Company
determined, based on a quantitative analysis that the Franck Provost Group has greater exposure to the expected losses of Provalliance. The variability that the Company could be required to absorb via
its equity interest in Provalliance and its expanded interest via exercise of the Equity Put was determined to be well less than 50.0 percent. The Company concluded based on the considerations
above that the primary beneficiary of Provalliance is the Franck Provost Group. The Company has accounted for its interest in Provalliance as an equity method investment.

During
fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $4.1 and $2.0 million, respectively, of equity in income related to its investment in Provalliance. Due to increased debt
and reduced earnings expectations, the Company could no longer justify the carrying amount of its investment in Provalliance and recorded a $25.7 million
"other-than-temporary" impairment charge in its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with Provalliance is the
carrying value of the investment and future changes in fair value of the Equity Put.

Investment in Empire Education Group, Inc.

On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed its 51 wholly-owned accredited cosmetology schools to Empire Education
Group, Inc. (EEG) in exchange for a 49.0 percent equity interest in EEG. In January 2008, the Company's effective ownership interest increased to 55.1 percent related to the
buyout of EEG's minority interest shareholder. EEG operates 96 accredited cosmetology schools.

At
June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a $21.4 million outstanding loan receivable with EEG. The Company has also provided EEG with a $15.0 million revolving
credit facility, against which there was no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2010 and $15.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2009. During fiscal year 2010 and 2009, the
Company recorded $0.7 and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest income related to the loan and revolving credit facility. The Company has also guaranteed a credit facility of EEG. The
exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with EEG is the carrying value of the investment, the outstanding loan and the guarantee of the credit facility.

The
Company utilized consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not its investment in EEG was a variable interest entity (VIE), and if so, whether the
Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company concluded that EEG was not a VIE based on the fact that EEG had sufficient equity at risk. As the substantive voting control relates to the
voting rights of

106

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

6. INVESTMENTS IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES (Continued)

the
Board of Directors, the Company granted the other shareholder a proxy to vote such number of the Company's shares such that the other shareholder would have voting control of 51.0 percent
of the common stock of EEG. The Company accounts for EEG as an equity investment under the voting interest model. During fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $6.4 and
$2.1 million of equity earnings related to its investment in EEG.

Investment in Intelligent Nutrients, LLC

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company transferred its ownership interest in Intelligent Nutrients, LLC to the other
shareholder. In consideration for the transfer of the Company's ownership interest, Intelligent Nutrients, the other shareholder, and the individual owner of the other shareholder will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company from all current and future obligations of Intelligent Nutrients. Until December 31, 2009, the Company held a 49.0 percent interest in Intelligent
Nutrients, LLC. The Company's investment was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting. During fiscal year 2009, the Company determined that its investment in and loans to
Intelligent Nutrients, LLC were impaired and the fair value was zero due to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC's inability to develop a professional organic brand of shampoo and conditioner with
a price point that would develop broad consumer appeal. The Company also determined that the loss in value was "other-than-temporary" and recognized a pretax,
non-cash impairment charge of $7.8 million for the full carrying value of the investment and loans during fiscal year 2009. The Company has no further exposure to loss related to
the Company's involvement with Intelligent Nutrients, LLC.

Investment in MY Style

In April 2007, the Company purchased exchangeable notes issued by Yamano Holding Corporation (Exchangeable Note) and a loan obligation
of a Yamano Holdings subsidiary, MY Style, formally known as Beauty Plaza Co. Ltd., (MY Style Note) for an aggregate amount of $11.3 million (1.3 billion Yen as of April
2007). The Exchangeable Note contains an option for the Company to exchange a portion of the Exchangeable Note for shares of common stock of My Style. In connection with the issuance of the
Exchangeable Note, the Company paid a premium of approximately $5.5 million (573,000,000 Yen as of April 2007).

Exchangeable Note.In September 2008, the Company advanced an additional $3.0 million (300,000,000 Yen as of September 2008) to
Yamano Holding
Corporation (Yamano). In connection with the 300,000,000 Yen advance, the exchangeable portion of the Exchangeable Note increased from approximately 14.8 percent to 27.1 percent of the
800 outstanding shares of MY Style for 21,700,000 Yen. This exchange feature is akin to a deep-in-the-money option permitting the Company to purchase shares of
common stock of MY Style. The option is embedded in the Exchangeable Note and does not meet the criteria for separate accounting under accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities.

The
Company determined that the September 2008 modifications to the Exchangeable Note were more than minor and the loan modification should be treated as an extinguishment. The Company
recorded a $2.1 million (224,000,000 Yen as of September 2008) gain related to the modification of the Exchangeable Note. However, based upon the overall fair value of the Exchangeable Note on
the date of modification, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment loss of $3.4 million (370,000,000 Yen as of September 2008). The $1.3 million net amount of the gain and
other than

6. INVESTMENTS IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES (Continued)

temporary
impairment was recorded within equity in loss of affiliates within the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

On
March 28, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Yamano in connection with the Exchangeable Note. The amendment revised the redemptions schedule for the
100,000,000 Yen and 211,131,284 Yen payments due September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively, to March 28, 2010. The amendment was entered into in connection with a preferred share
subscription agreement dated March 29, 2010 between the Company and Yamano. Under the preferred share subscription agreement, Yamano issued and the Company purchased one share of Yamano
Class A Preferred Stock with a subscription amount of $1.1 million (100,000,000 Yen) and one share of Yamano Class B Preferred Stock with a subscription amount of
$2.3 million (211,131,284 Yen), collectively the "Preferred Shares". The portions of the Exchangeable Note that became due as of March 28, 2010 were contributed in-kind as
payment for the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares have the same terms and rights, yield a 5.0 percent dividend that accrues if not paid and have no voting rights.

The
Company determined that the March 2010 modifications were minor and the loan modification should not be treated as an extinguishment. The preferred shares will be accounted for as an
available-for-sale debt security and recorded as part of the Company's investment within the investment in and loans to affiliates line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheet
with any changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income.

As
June 30, 2010, the principal amount outstanding under the Exchangeable Note is $3.4 million (300,000,000 Yen). Principal payments of 100,000,000 Yen are due annually on
September 30 through September 30, 2012. The Exchangeable Note accrues interest at 1.845 percent and interest is payable on September 30, 2012 with the final principal
payment. The Company recorded approximately $0.1 million in interest income related to the Exchangeable Note during fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

MY Style Note.As of June 30, 2010, the principal amount outstanding under the MY Style Note is $1.8 million (156,492,000
Yen).
Principal payments of 52,164,000 Yen along with accrued interest are due annually on May 31 through May 31, 2013. The MY Style Note accrues interest at 3.0 percent. The Company
recorded less than $0.1 million in interest income related to the MY Style Note during fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

As
of June 30, 2010, $1.7 and $12.1 million are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as current assets and investment in affiliates and loans, respectively,

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted fair value measurement guidance for financial assets and liabilities. On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted fair value measurement
guidance for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.
This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by this guidance contains three levels as follows:





Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure
fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the
asset or liability. The following tables sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis

The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Derivative instruments.The Company's derivative instrument liabilities consist of cash flow hedges represented by interest rate swaps
and forward
foreign currency contracts. The instruments are classified as Level 2 as the fair value is obtained using observable inputs available for similar liabilities in active markets at the
measurement date, as provided by sources independent from the Company. See breakout by type of contract and reconciliation to the balance sheet line item that each contract is classified within
Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity put option.The Company's merger of the European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon
Group on
January 31, 2008 contained an equity put and an equity call. See further discussion within Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The equity put option is valued using binomial
lattice models that incorporate assumptions including the business enterprise value at that date and future estimates of volatility and earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and
amortization multiples. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the equity put option was $22.0 million and is classified within other noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet.

Preferred Shares.The Company has preferred shares in Yamano Holding Corporation. See further discussion within Note 6 to the
Consolidated
Financial Statements. The preferred shares are classified as Level 3 as there are no quoted market prices and minimal market participant data for preferred shares of similar rating. The
preferred shares are classified within investment in and loans to affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the preferred shares is based on the financial health of Yamano
Holding Corporation and terms within the preferred share agreement which allow the Company to convert the subscription amount of the preferred shares into equity of MY Style, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Yamano Holding Corporation. As of June 30, 2010 the subscription value of the preferred shares of 311,131,284 Yen ($3.5 million) represents the fair value of the preferred shares.

Financial Instruments.In addition to the financial instruments listed above, the Company's financial instruments also include cash,
cash
equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and debt.

The
fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximated the carrying values as of June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, the estimated fair
values and carrying amounts of debt were $458.6 and $440.0 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was determined based on internal valuation models, which utilize quoted market
prices and interest rates for the same or similar instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets, including the Company's equity method investments, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are
deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The fair values of our investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may
include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections.

The
following table presents the fair value in our assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010:

Senior Term Notes

Private Shelf Agreement

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $174.1 and $239.6 million, respectively, in unsecured, fixed rate, senior term
notes outstanding under a Private Shelf Agreement, of which $40.5 and $40.5 million were classified as part of the current portion of the Company's
long-term debt at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The notes require quarterly payments, and final maturity dates range from October 2010 through December 2017.

The
Private Shelf Agreement includes financial covenants including debt to EBITDA ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios and minimum net equity tests (as defined within the Private Shelf
Agreement),

as
well as other customary terms and conditions. The maturity date for the debt may be accelerated upon the occurrence of various events of default, including breaches of the agreement, certain cross-
default situations, certain bankruptcy related situations, and other customary events of default.

In
July 2009, the Company amended the Restated Private Shelf Agreement. The amendments included increasing the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $675 million to
$800 million, lowering the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement from 1.5x to 1.3x, amending certain definitions, including EBITDA and Fixed Charges, limiting the Company's restricted
payments to $20 million if the Company's leverage ratio is greater than 2.0x and the addition of a risk based capital fee calculated on the daily average outstanding principal amount equal to
an annual rate of 1.0 percent that commences one year after the amendment date. During fiscal year 2010, the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock issuances in July
2009 were utilized in part to repay $30.0 million of senior term notes under the Restated Private Shelf Agreement.

Private Placement Senior Term Notes

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a prepayment amendment on the private placement senior term notes whereby the Company
negotiated to prepay the notes with a premium over the principal amount that is less than the make-whole premium that is otherwise payable upon redemption. During fiscal year 2010, the net
proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock issuances in July 2009 were utilized to repay the $267.0 million of private placement senior term notes of varying maturities and
$30.0 million of additional senior term notes under a Private Shelf Agreement.

As
a result of the repayment of a portion of the senior term notes during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $12.8 million in
make-whole payments and other fees along with $5.2 million in interest rate swap settlements, as discussed in Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, totaling
$18.0 million that was recorded as interest expense within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Convertible Senior Notes

In July 2009, the Company issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0 percent convertible senior notes due
July 2014. The notes are unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year at a rate
of 5.0 percent per year. The notes will be convertible subject to certain conditions further described below at an initial conversion rate of 64.6726 shares of the Company's common stock per
$1,000 principal amount of notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $15.46 per share of the Company's common stock).

Holders
may convert their notes at their option prior to April 15, 2014 if the Company's stock price meets certain price triggers or upon the occurrence of specified corporate
events as defined in the convertible senior note agreement. On or after April 15, 2014, holders may convert each of their notes at their option at any time prior to the maturity date for the
notes.

The
Company has the choice of net-cash settlement, settlement in its own shares or a combination thereof and concluded the conversion option is indexed to its own stock. As a
result, the Company allocated $24.7 million of the $172.5 million principal amount of the convertible senior notes to equity, which resulted in a $24.7 million debt discount. The
allocation was based on measuring the fair value

of
the convertible senior notes using a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate was based on an estimated credit rating for the Company. The estimated fair value of the convertible senior
notes was $147.8 million, the resulting $24.7 million debt discount will be amortized over the period the convertible senior notes are expected to be outstanding, which is five years, as
additional non-cash interest expense. The combined debt discount amortization and the contractual interest coupon resulted in an effective interest rate on the convertible debt of
8.9 percent.

In
connection with the convertible senior note offering, the Company issued 13,225,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $163.5 million.

Term Loan

During the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company completed an $85.0 million term loan that matures in July
2012. As of June 30, 2010, the monthly interest payments are based on a one-month LIBOR plus 2.5 percent.

In
July 2009 the Company amended its term loan. The amendment increased the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $675 million to $800 million, lowered the fixed charge
coverage ratio from 1.5x to 1.3x, amended certain definitions, including EBITDA and fixed charges, and limits the Company's restricted payments (as defined in the agreement) to $20 million if
the Company's leverage ratio is greater than 2.0x.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has an unsecured $300.0 million revolving credit facility with rates tied to LIBOR plus 225 basis points as of
June 30, 2010. The revolving credit facility requires a
quarterly facility fee on the average daily amount of the facility (whether used or unused) calculated at a rate of 25 basis points as of June 30, 2010. Both the LIBOR credit spread and the
facility fee are based on the Company's debt to EBITDA ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. The facility expires in July 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

8. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (Continued)

On
July 14, 2009, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement by reducing the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility from $350.0 million to
$300.0 million. The amendment also increased the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $675 million to $800 million, lowering the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement from
1.5x to 1.3x, amending certain definitions, including EBITDA and fixed charges, and limiting the Company's restricted payments (as defined in the agreement) to $20 million if the Company's
leverage ratio is greater than 2.0x.

The
maturity date for the revolving credit facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of various events of default, including breaches of the credit agreement, certain cross-default
situations, certain bankruptcy related situations, and other customary events of default. The interest rates under the facility vary and are based on a bank's reference rate, the federal funds rate
and/or LIBOR, as applicable, and a leverage ratio for the Company determined by a formula tied to the Company's debt and its adjusted income.

As
of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had outstanding borrowings under this facility of $0.0 and $5.0 million, respectively. As a result of the modification to the
revolving credit agreement in July 2009 including changes to the financial covenants, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 as part of the
long-term portion of the Company's long-term debt. Additionally, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit under the facility of $24.6 and $28.0 million at
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, primarily related to its self-insurance program. Unused available credit under the facility at June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $275.4 and
$317.0 million, respectively.

Equipment and Leasehold Notes Payable

The equipment and leasehold notes payable are primarily comprised of capital lease obligations which are payable in monthly
installments through fiscal year 2015. The capital lease obligations are collateralized by the assets purchased under the agreement.

Other Notes Payable

The Company had $1.7 and $2.4 million in unsecured outstanding notes at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to
debt assumed in acquisitions. Additionally, within other notes payable are mortgage notes for $0.0 and $3.0 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to the Company's
distribution center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The note for the Salt Lake City distribution center was repaid during fiscal year 2010 and was secured by that distribution center.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In January 2009, the Company adopted guidance for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in order to provide a reader of the financial statements an enhanced
understanding of the Company's use of derivative instruments, how the Company accounts for its derivative instruments and the instruments' effects on financial position, financial performance and cash
flows.

The
Company's primary market risk exposures in the normal course of business are changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has established policies and
procedures that govern the management of these exposures through the use of a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative financial instrument contracts. By policy, the Company does not
enter into such contracts for the purpose of speculation or trading. Hedging transactions are limited to an

116

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

underlying
exposure. The Company has established an interest rate management policy that manages the interest rate mix of its total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. The Company's
variable rate debt typically represents 35 to 45 percent of the total debt portfolio. The Company's
foreign currency exchange rate risk management policy includes frequently monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations in order to minimize fluctuation in
earnings due to changes in exchange rates. The Company enters into arrangements with counterparties that the Company believes are creditworthy. Generally, derivative contract arrangements settle on a
net basis. The Company assesses the effectiveness of its hedges on a quarterly basis using the critical terms method in accordance with guidance for accounting for derivative instruments and hedging
activities.

The
Company has primarily utilized derivatives which are designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. For cash flow hedges and fair
value hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any hedge
ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in current earnings. To the extent the changes offset, the hedge is effective. Any hedge ineffectiveness the Company has historically experienced has not been
material. By policy, the Company designs its derivative instruments to be effective as hedges and aims to minimize fluctuations in earnings due to market risk exposures. If a derivative instrument is
terminated prior to its contract date, the Company continues to defer the related gain or loss and recognizes it in current earnings over the remaining life of the related hedged item.

The
Company also utilizes freestanding derivative contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Company marks to market such derivatives with the resulting gains and
losses recorded within current earnings in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with all derivatives (designated as
hedges or freestanding economic hedges) are classified in the same category as the related cash flows subject to the hedging relationship.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company's cash flow hedges include interest rate swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and treasury lock agreements.

The
Company uses interest rate swaps to maintain its variable to fixed rate debt ratio in accordance with its established policy. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had
$85.0 million of total variable rate debt outstanding, of which $40.0 million was swapped to fixed rate debt, resulting in $45.0 million of variable rate debt. The interest rate
swap contracts pay fixed rates of interest and receive variable rates of interest. The contracts and related debt have maturity dates during fiscal year 2012.

The
Company repaid variable and fixed rate debt during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. Prior to the repayments, the Company had two outstanding interest rate swaps totaling
$50.0 million on $100.0 million aggregate variable rate debt with maturity dates between fiscal years 2013 and 2015. The interest rate swaps were terminated prior to the maturity dates
in conjunction with the repayments of debt and were settled for an aggregate loss of $5.2 million. The $5.2 million loss recorded during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 on the
termination of the interest rate swaps was recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Company also had two outstanding treasury lock agreements with maturity dates between fiscal years 2013 and 2015. The treasury lock agreements were terminated

prior
to the maturity dates in conjunction with the repayments of debt and were settled for a loss of less than $0.1 million during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and recorded
within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The
Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency rate fluctuations associated with certain forecasted intercompany transactions. The Company's primary
forward foreign currency contracts hedge approximately $0.6 million of monthly payments in Canadian dollars for intercompany transactions. The Company's forward foreign currency contracts hedge
transactions through fiscal year 2011.

These
cash flow hedges were designed and are effective as cash flow hedges. They were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities or other current assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet, with corresponding offsets primarily recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Fair Value Hedges

In the past, the Company had two interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges. The Company paid variable rates of interest and
received fixed rates of interest under these contracts. The contracts and related debt matured during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

Freestanding Derivative Forward Contracts

The Company uses freestanding derivative forward contracts to offset the Company's exposure to the change in fair value of certain
foreign currency denominated investments
and intercompany assets and liabilities. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized currently in earnings,
thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

In
November 2009, the Company terminated its freestanding derivative contract on its remaining payments on the MY Style Note and recorded a gain of $0.7 million. The contract was
settled in cash, discounted to present value. Gains and losses were the life of the contract and are recognized currently in earnings in conjunction with marking the contract to fair value. A net loss
of $0.2 million was recognized during fiscal year 2010. A net gain of $0.9 million was recognized during fiscal year 2009.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Operating Leases:

The Company is committed under long-term operating leases for the rental of most of its company-owned salon and hair
restoration center locations. The original terms of the leases range from one to 20 years, with many leases renewable for an additional five to ten year term at the option of the Company, and
certain leases include escalation provisions. For certain leases, the Company is required to pay additional rent based on a percent of sales in excess of a predetermined amount 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 percent of sales.

The
Company also leases the premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with the franchisees. These leases,
generally with terms of approximately five years, are expected to be renewed on expiration. All additional lease costs are passed through to the franchisees.

During
fiscal year 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a 102,448 square foot building, located in Edina, Minnesota. The Company began to recognize rent expense related
to this property during the three months ended September 30, 2005, which was the date that it obtained the legal right to use and control the property. The original lease term ends in 2016 and
the aggregate amount of lease payments to be made over the remaining original lease term are approximately $6.6 million. The lease agreement includes an option to purchase the property or
extend the original term for two successive periods of five years.

Sublease
income was $29.2, $29.9, and $30.3 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Rent expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations excludes $28.8,
$29.5, and $29.9 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of rent expense on premises subleased to franchisees. These amounts are netted against the related rental income on
the sublease arrangements with franchisees. In most cases, the amount of rental income related to sublease arrangements with franchisees approximates the amount of rent expense from the primary lease,
thereby having no net impact on rent expense or net income (loss). However, in limited cases, the Company charges a ten

mark-up in its sublease arrangements. The net rental income resulting from such arrangements totaled $0.4 million for each fiscal year 2010, 2009 and 2008, and was
classified in the royalties and fees caption of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Salon Development Program:

As a part of its salon development program, the Company continues to negotiate and enter into leases and commitments for the
acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements related to future salon locations, and continues to enter into transactions to acquire established hair care salons.

Contingencies:

The Company is self-insured for most workers' compensation, employment practice liability, and general liability. Workers'
compensation and general liability losses are subject to per occurrence and aggregate annual liability limitations. The Company is insured for losses in excess of these limitations. The Company is
also self-insured for health care claims for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. The Company determines its liability for claims incurred but
not reported on an actuarial basis.

11. LEASE TERMINATION COSTS

In June 2009, the Company approved a plan to close up to 80 underperforming U.K. company-owned salons in fiscal year 2010. The Company believes the closure of these salons will add to
future

profitability.
The Company recorded a write-off of salon assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 of approximately $2.9 million related to the closures. The Company ceased
using the right to use the leased property or negotiated a lease termination agreement with the lessor prior to June 30, 2010 and 2009 for 29 and seven U.K. company-owned salons, respectively.
The June 2009 plan is substantially complete.

In
July 2008, the Company approved a plan to close up to 160 underperforming company-owned salons in fiscal year 2009. Approximately 100 locations were regional mall based concepts,
another 40 locations were strip center concepts and 20 locations were in the U.K. The timing of the closures was dependent on successfully completing lease termination agreements and was therefore
subject to change. The Company offered employment to associates affected by such closings at nearby Regis-owned salons. The decision was a result of a comprehensive evaluation of the Company's salon
portfolio, further continuing the Company's initiatives to enhance profitability. As lease settlements were negotiated the Company found that some lessors were willing to negotiate rent reductions
which allowed the Company to keep operating certain stores. As a result, the number of stores closed was less than the 160 stores per the approved plan in July 2008. The July 2008 plan is
substantially complete.

As
of June 30, 2009, 69 stores under the July 2008 plan ceased using the right to use the leased property or negotiated a lease termination agreement with the lessor in which the
Company will cease using the right to the leased property subsequent to June 30, 2009. Of the 69 stores, 63 stores were within the North America reportable segment, one store within the
international segment, and five stores within discontinued operations. Lease termination costs from continuing operations are presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Lease termination costs related to the Trade Secret salon concept are reported within discontinued operations.

During
the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, an additional 42 stores under the July 2008 plan ceased using the right to use the leased property or negotiated a lease termination
agreement with the lessor in which the Company will cease using the right to the leased property subsequent to June 30, 2010. The 42 stores were within the North America reportable segment.

Lease
termination expense represents either the lease settlement or the net present value of remaining contractual lease payments related to closed stores, after reduction by estimated
sublease rentals. The activity reflected in the accrual for lease termination costs is as follows:

12. LITIGATION

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with
allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although
the Company's counsel believes that the Company has valid defenses in these matters, it could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse
effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

During
fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded a $5.2 million charge related to the settlement of two legal claims regarding certain customer and employee matters. Additionally,
the Company has commitment to provide discount coupons. As of June 30, 2010, there was a $4.3 million remaining liability recorded within accrued expenses related to the settlements.

During
the fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded adjustments to correct its income tax balances. The adjustments increased the Company's fiscal year 2010 income tax provision by
$2.1 million and increased its effective income tax rate by 3.9 percent. Included in the income tax provision are U.S. and international income tax adjustments resulting in a shift of
the income tax provision between jurisdictions. On a world-wide basis the adjustments are immaterial. The Company does not believe the adjustments are material to its fiscal 2010 results
of operations or its financial position or results of operations of any prior periods.

During
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded an adjustment to correct its prior year deferred income tax balances. The adjustment increased the Company's fiscal
year 2009 income tax provision by $3.8 million and increased its effective income tax rate by 4.8 percent. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to its fiscal 2009
results of operations or its financial position or results of operations of any prior periods.

At
June 30, 2010, the Company had U.S. and foreign operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.2 million relating to losses in Canada, the Netherlands, and the U.K.
The Company has set up a
valuation allowance of $1.0 million relating to the Netherlands tax losses. The Company expects to fully utilize all of the loss carryforwards from Canada and the United Kingdom.

As
of June 30, 2010, undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries of approximately $23.8 million were considered to have been reinvested indefinitely and,
accordingly, the Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on such earnings.

The
Company files tax returns and pays tax primarily in the United States, Canada, the U.K., and the Netherlands as well as states, cities, and provinces within these jurisdictions. In
the United States, fiscal years 2007 and after remain open for federal tax audit. The Company has been notified that the United States federal income tax returns for year 2007 through 2009 have been
selected for audit. For state tax audits, the statute of limitations generally spans three to four years, resulting in a number of states remaining open for tax audits dating back to fiscal year 2006.
However, the company is under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended to fiscal years 2000 and forward. Internationally (including Canada), the statute of
limitations for tax audits varies by jurisdiction, but generally ranges from three to five years.

The
Company adopted the provisions of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, effective July 1, 2007. Immediately prior to the adoption, the Company's tax reserves were
$9.0 million. As a result of the adoption, the Company recognized a $20.7 million increase in the liability for

If
the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $8.2 million of the $16.9 million reserve would benefit the effective tax rate.
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. During the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we recorded income tax
(benefit)/expense of approximately $(1.1), $2.1 and $3.0 million, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $3.5 million. This amount is not included in the gross unrecognized tax benefits noted above.

It
is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next twelve
months. However, we do not expect the change to have a significant effect on our results of operations or our financial position.

14. BENEFIT PLANS

Regis Retirement Savings Plan

The Company maintains a defined contributed 401(k) plan, the Regis Retirement Savings Plan (the RRSP). The RRSP is a defined

to estimate the obligations associated with these deferred compensation contracts. Compensation associated with these agreements is charged to expense as services are provided. Associated costs
included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations totaled $5.2, $3.7, and $2.4 million for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The accrued
liability and projected benefit obligation of these deferred compensation contracts totaled $30.2 and $23.4 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, $29.6 and $23.4 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, $0.6 million of the balance is
included in accrued liabilities. The tax-effected accumulated other comprehensive loss for the deferred compensation contracts, consisting of primarily unrecognized actuarial loss, was
$1.9 and $0.6 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic
deferred compensation expense in fiscal year 2011 is approximately $0.2 million. The Company intends to fund its future obligations under these arrangements through company-owned life insurance
policies on the participants. Cash values of these policies totaled $20.2 and $18.8 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in other assets in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

The
Company has agreed to pay the former Vice Chairman an annual amount of $0.6 million, adjusted for inflation to $0.9 million in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, for the
remainder of his life. The former Vice Chairman has agreed that during the period in which payments are made, as provided in the agreement, he will not engage in any business competitive with the
business conducted by the Company. Additionally, the Company has a survivor benefit plan for the former Vice Chairman's spouse, payable upon his death, at a rate of one half of his deferred
compensation benefit, adjusted for inflation, for the remaining life of his spouse. Estimated associated costs included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of
Operations totaled $0.6, $0.8, and $0.7 million for each of fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Related obligations totaled $6.2 and $6.4 million at June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively, and are included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company intends to fund all future obligations under this agreement through company-owned
life insurance policies on the former Vice Chairman. Cash values of these policies totaled $3.9 and $3.6 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in other assets
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The policy death benefits exceed the obligations under this agreement.

Compensation

15. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Net Income Per Share:

The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding
unvested outstanding RSAs and RSUs. The Company's dilutive earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which
includes shares issuable under the Company's stock option plan and long-term incentive plan, shares issuable under contingent stock agreements, and dilutive securities. Stock-based awards
with exercise prices greater than the average market value of the Company's common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company's dilutive earnings per share will
also reflect the assumed conversion under the Company's convertible debt if the impact is dilutive. The impact of the convertible debt is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share
when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

The

Stock-based Compensation Award Plans:

In May of 2004, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan received
shareholder approval at the annual shareholders' meeting held on October 28, 2004. The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, equity-based stock appreciation rights (SARs) and
restricted stock, as well as cash-based performance grants, to employees and directors of the Company. On March 8, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to
the 2004 Plan to permit the granting and issuance of restricted stock units (RSUs). The 2004 Plan expires on May 26, 2014. A
maximum of 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock are available for issuance pursuant to grants and awards made under the 2004 Plan. Stock options, SARs and restricted stock under the 2004
Plan generally vest pro rata over five years and have a maximum term of ten years. The cash-based performance grants will be tied to the achievement of certain performance goals during a
specified performance period, not less than one fiscal year in length. The RSUs cliff vest after five years and payment of the RSUs is deferred until January 31 of the year following vesting.
Unvested awards are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Company's measure of compensation
cost for its incentive stock plans, as well as an estimate of future compensation expense related to these awards.

On
October 24, 2000, the shareholders of Regis Corporation adopted the Regis Corporation 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan), which allows the Company to grant both incentive and
nonqualified stock options and replaced the Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan). Total options covering 3,500,000 shares of common stock may be granted under the 2000 Plan to employees of the
Company for a term not to exceed ten years from the date of grant. The term may not exceed five years for incentive stock options granted to employees of the Company possessing more than ten percent
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Options may also be granted to the Company's outside directors for a term not to exceed ten
years from the grant date. The 2000 Plan contains restrictions on transferability, time of exercise, exercise price and on disposition of any shares acquired through exercise of the options. Stock
options are granted at not less than fair market value on the date of grant. The Board of Directors determines the 2000 Plan participants and establishes the terms and conditions of each option.

The
Company also has outstanding stock options under the 1991 Plan, although the Plan terminated in 2001. The terms and conditions of the 1991 Plan are similar to the 2000 Plan. Total

The
expense associated with the RSA and RSU grants is based on the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant. The significant assumptions used in determining the
underlying fair value on the date of grant of each stock option and SAR grant issued during the fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 is presented below:

28.00
%Expected dividend yield


0.85
%
0.56 - 0.84%


0.56
%


The
risk free rate of return is determined based on the U.S. Treasury rates approximating the expected life of the options and SARs granted. Expected volatility is established based on
historical volatility of the Company's stock price. Estimated expected life was based on an analysis of historical stock options granted data which included analyzing grant activity including grants
exercised, expired, and canceled. The expected dividend yield is determined based on the Company's annual dividend amount as a percentage of the strike price at the time of the grant. The Company uses
historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates.

Compensation
expense included in income before income taxes related to stock- based compensation was $9.3, $7.5, and $6.8 million for the three years ended June 30, 2010,
2009, and 2008, respectively.

Authorized Shares and Designation of Preferred Class:

The Company has 100 million shares of capital stock authorized, par value $0.05, of which all outstanding shares, and shares
available under the Stock Option Plans, have been designated as common.

In
addition, 250,000 shares of authorized capital stock have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (preferred stock). None of the preferred stock has
been issued.

Shareholders' Rights Plan:

The Company has a shareholders' rights plan pursuant to which one preferred share purchase right is held by shareholders for each
outstanding share of common stock. The rights become exercisable only following the acquisition by a person or group, without the prior consent of the Board of Directors, of 15.0 percent or
more of the Company's voting stock, or following the announcement of a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire an interest of 15.0 percent or more. If the rights become exercisable, they
entitle all holders, except the takeover bidder, to purchase one one-thousandth of a

share
of preferred stock at an exercise price of $140, subject to adjustment, or in lieu of purchasing the preferred stock, to purchase for the same exercise price common stock of the Company (or in
certain cases common stock of an acquiring company) having a market value of twice the exercise price of a right.

Share Repurchase Program:

In May 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (BOD) approved a stock repurchase program. Originally, the program authorized up to
$50.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The BOD elected to increase this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, to $200.0 million on
May 3, 2005, and to $300.0 million on April 26, 2007. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and
overall market conditions. Historically, the repurchases to date have been made primarily to
eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions, restricted stock grants and stock option exercises. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the
Company. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date. As of June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, a total accumulated 6.8 million shares have been repurchased for
$226.5 million. As of June 30, 2010, $73.5 million remains to be spent on share repurchases under this program.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

To the board of Directors of Regis Corporation

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

In
our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statement of income, shareholders' equity and cash flow present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Provalliance and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion of these financial statements based on our audit.

We
conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(INFORMATION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED NOT
COVERED BY AUDITORS' REPORT INCLUDED HEREIN)



1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of Provalliance SAS have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The standards adopted by the European Union can be viewed on the European
Commission's website at http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_en.htm.

The
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 are consistent with those applied for the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, except for the adoption of the revised version of IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The main changes
resulting from the adoption of this revised standard are as follows:



The
following new standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations were applicable for the first time for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 but did not have
a material impact on the Provalliance group's consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2009:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(INFORMATION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED NOT
COVERED BY AUDITORS' REPORT INCLUDED HEREIN)

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)



The
accounting policies applied by Provalliance SAS for the year ended December 31, 2009 are consistent with the IFRSs published by the IASB. Application by the Group of
amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB and mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009, but which have not yet been adopted by the European Union, would
not have had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The
consolidated financial statements are presented in euros. They have been prepared using the historical cost convention, with the exception of certain items which have been measured
at fair value such as short-term cash investments and options on non-controlling interests.

Non-current
assets (or disposal groups) held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

1.1.2 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be reasonable in light of the
circumstances and the information available at the end of the reporting period. They provide a basis on which to exercise judgment in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that
cannot be obtained directly from other sources.

The
estimates and underlying assumptions used by the Group are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Given the still-unsettled worldwide economy at end-2009 it was difficult to
determine forward-looking information at that date and actual amounts may therefore differ from the estimates applied.

The
areas involving significant estimates and assumptions for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements were the fair value of intangible assets, impairment tests on
intangible assets, deferred taxes and provisions for liabilities and charges.

1.1.3 Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Group. Control is deemed to exist where the Group has the power to directly or
indirectly govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or
convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the Group and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

(INFORMATION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED NOT
COVERED BY AUDITORS' REPORT INCLUDED HEREIN)

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the
financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control over those policies. The results of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity
method of accounting as from the date that the Group begins to exercise significant influence until the date that such significant influence ceases. If the Group's share of losses of an associate
exceeds its interest in the associate, the interest is written down to zero and the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations
to participate in the losses or to make payments on behalf of the associate.

Interests in joint ventures

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to
joint control. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a jointly controlled entity, combined line by line with
similar items in the Group's financial statements using the proportionate consolidation method. This accounting method is applied as from the date when joint control is obtained until the date that
such control ceases.

Eliminations on consolidation

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains on transactions with associates and jointly-controlled entities are eliminated to the
extent of the Group's interest in the entity concerned. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

At
December 31, 2009 all of the companies included in the scope of consolidation were subsidiaries except for one special purpose entity, A.F.A.P (Association de Formation
Artistique Professionnelle). Prior to consolidation the financial statements of subsidiaries are restated to comply with Group accounting policies.

A
list of consolidated companies is provided in Note 2.

1.1.4 Intangible assets

1.1.4.1 Business combinationsGoodwill

The Group has elected not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations that occurred prior to January 1,
2004. Goodwill arising prior to that date has continued to be recorded at deemed cost which represents their previous GAAP carrying amount.

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Goodwill
represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired
subsidiary at the date of acquisition. It is included in "intangible assets".

Negative
goodwill is recognized in the income statement in the period in which it arises.

The
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of companies consolidated for the first time are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value, except
for non-current assets classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, which are recognized at fair value less costs to sell.

Goodwill
is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. It is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment. For the purpose of these impairment tests goodwill is
allocated to cash-generating units (see Note 1.1.6 "Impairment of non-current assets").

1.1.4.2 Lease premiums

On a business combination, lease premiums are recognized at fair value which represents the difference between (i) the market
rent based on the revenue of the business concerned and the rent-to-income ratio and (ii) the actual rent.

Lease
premiums have indefinite useful lives but a review is carried out each period to ensure that this classification is still justified based on the latest events and circumstances.

Lease
premiums are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment in accordance with the principles described in Note 1.1.6 "Impairment of non-current assets".

As
lease premiums correspond to identifiable assets they give rise to a deferred tax liability.

1.1.4.3 Trademarks

The "Franck Provost" and "Fabio Salsa" trademarks were acquired during 2007. In 2008, the Group acquired the following
trademarks:

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

These
trademarks were recognized at fair value based on the expected profit to be generated through their related licenses and franchise network.

Trademarks
are amortized over the following periods:



In
addition, where there is an indication that the value of a trademark may be impaired it is tested for impairment in accordance with the principles described in Note 1.1.6
"Impairment of non-current assets".

As
trademarks correspond to identifiable assets, they give rise to a deferred tax liability.

1.1.4.4 Franchise networks

Franchise agreements acquired as part of a business combination are measured based on the expected future cash flows to be generated by
the franchise network, less the value of the brand and taking into account the probability of renewal of agreements reaching maturity.

Franchise
networks are amortized over 15 years.

As
franchise networks correspond to identifiable assets they give rise to a deferred tax liability.

1.1.4.5 Other intangible assets

The Group has not capitalized any development costs.

Other
intangible assetsnotably software acquired for internal useare amortized over their estimated useful lives, which generally correspond to three years. In
the income statement, amortization expense is recorded as an operating expense under the line "Depreciation, amortization and impairment".

Other
intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

1.1.5 Property, plant and equipment

The Group has opted to apply the cost model rather than the revaluation model for measuring property, plant and equipment.
Consequently, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In accordance with IAS 23, borrowing costs are not included
in the cost of property, plant and equipment.

In
the income statement, depreciation expense is recorded as an operating expense under the line "Depreciation, amortization and impairment".

The
Group no longer has any finance leases that need to be accounted for in accordance with IAS 17.

1.1.5.1 Margin on disposals of non-current assets

Franck Provost Coiffure acts as a central purchasing unit for non-current assets on behalf of its subsidiaries. Internal
margins arising on such transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

1.1.6 Impairment of non-current assets

In accordance with IAS 36, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives
is tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The Group assesses whether any such indications exist at each reporting date.

Goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least once a year and more frequently if there is any indication that they may be impaired. For
the purpose of impairment testing, assets are allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs). A CGU is defined as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are
largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

1.1.6.1 Definition of cash-generating units

Previously, the Franck Provost Coiffure group's business was essentially operated through directly-owned salons under a single brand
(as Fabio Salsa was not significant). Following the various acquisitions carried out in 2008, the Group now has a multi-brand franchising business and also manages license agreements.

As
a result of these operational changes, the Group redefined its internal reporting structure, which is now based on the following three core businesses:

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

These
three groups of assets have been defined by the Group as the smallest identifiable groups of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows
from other assets or groups of assets.

Consequently,
since 2008 the Group has had the following CGUs:



Impairment
tests consist of comparing the asset's carrying amount to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value and its value in use, calculated
using the discounted cash flow method. When an asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded as an operating expense under either "Depreciation, amortization
and impairment" or "Other operating expenses", depending on the type of asset concerned.

Impairment
losses are allocated first to goodwill and then to the other assets of the cash-generating unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the
unit.

1.1.6.2 Main criteria used by the Group's Accounting and Finance Departments for impairment test calculations

At December 31, 2009 the Group applied a post-tax discount rate of 10% (compared with 9.74% at December 31,
2008), which reflected the risk-free rate and the risk premium.

A
five-year projection period is used and the terminal value is determined by extrapolating to perpetuity the discounted cash flows for the fifth year.

The
sensitivity of the value of goodwill to a 0.5% increase or decrease in the weighted average cost of capital or the long-term growth rate corresponds to a negative
€3.7 million and a positive €3.8 million respectively.

1.1.6.3 Monitoring the recoverable amount of goodwill

In view of its nature, goodwill cannot be allocated to individual CGUs because the expected synergies arising from the purchase of a
company will affect all of the CGUs.

Impairment
losses on goodwill are not reversed even if the asset's value in use is restored in subsequent years.

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

1.1.6.4 Monitoring the recoverable amount of other assets

Other assets are allocated either to individual CGUs or groups of CGUs. Impairment losses recognized for these assets may be reversed
through profit under the line "Depreciation, amortization and impairment".

1.1.7 Financial assets

1.1.7.1 Investments in non-consolidated companies

In accordance with IAS 39, investments in non-consolidated companies are classified as
available-for-sale financial assets and are therefore carried at fair value. If their fair value cannot be determined reliably, the shares are recognized at cost. Where there
is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. Any such impairment is only reversed through profit on disposal of the shares.

1.1.7.2 Other financial assets

Other financial assets correspond to guarantee deposits paid in connection with commercial leases required to operate the Group's
salons.

The
Group's financial assets do not include any derivative instruments.

1.1.8 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value corresponds to the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Internal
margins on inventories are eliminated in consolidation.

1.1.9 Revenue recognition"Rendering of services"

In compliance with IAS 18, revenue generated from the rendering of services is recognized as the hairdressing services are
performed and the trademark franchise fees are received.

1.1.10 Deferred taxes

In accordance with IAS 12, deferred taxes are recognized, using the liability method, for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities and their tax base. They are calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred
tax assets are recognized for the carryforward of unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax
losses can be utilized.

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

1.1.11 Receivables

Receivables are carried at cost less any impairment losses. An impairment loss is recorded when the carrying amount of a receivable
exceeds its recoverable amount, corresponding to the present value of estimated future cash flows.

None
of the Group's receivables are due in more than one year.

1.1.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Short-term investments are measured at fair value through profit, in compliance with IAS 39.

In
application of IAS 7, the balance sheet line "Cash and cash equivalents" includes cash in hand and short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible
to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The
fair value of these assets corresponds to their market value at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses from changes in fair value are immediately recognized in the income
statement under "Income from cash and cash equivalents".

1.1.13 Non-current assets held for sale and related liabilities

Immediately before the initial classification of an asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or
all the assets and liabilities in the group) are measured in accordance with applicable IFRSs. Subsequently, non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale are
measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Any
impairment losses arising from the classification of an asset (or disposal group) as held for sale are recognized in profit as are any gains or losses resulting from subsequent
remeasurements. However, such gains recognized may not exceed any cumulative impairment loss previously recorded.

1.1.14 Provision for statutory retirement bonuses

This provision is intended to cover the Group's obligations corresponding to the present value of employees' vested rights in relation
to bonuses payable on retirement as required under the applicable collective bargaining agreements. The amount of these obligations is calculated using the projected unit credit method based on
assumptions concerning life expectancy, staff seniority, staff turnover and future salary levels and the application of a discount rate.

The
main assumptions used correspond to average forecasts determined by reference to historical data over recent years, as follows:

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)



Actuarial
gains and losses arising as a result of changes in assumptions are recognized directly in the income statement.

1.1.15 Other employee benefit obligationsstatutory training entitlement and long-service awards

The Group did not record a provision at December 31, 2009 for its estimated obligation related to training hours accrued by
employees under their statutory entitlement as the amount involved was not material. This was due to (i) the number of training courses already provided; and (ii) the low probability of
a specific request being made to use these statutory training hours. The measurement of this obligation may be reviewed in future based on training requests actually received over the coming years,
and if necessary a provision may be recorded.

The
collective bargaining agreements in force within the Group's companies do not contain any specific clauses concerning long-service awards. In addition, no specific
agreements relating to such awards have been signed within any of the Group's subsidiaries.

1.1.16 Provisions for liabilities and charges

In accordance with IAS 37, a provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

Unused
provisions are reversed through profit and an explanatory note is provided in the consolidated financial statements.

Long-term
provisions are discounted when the effect of discounting is material.

1.1.17 Share grants

In 2008, Provalliance set up a share grant plan for which an expense was recorded under payroll costs, in accordance with
IFRS 2. The expense corresponding to the shares to be granted free of consideration is being recognized over the term of the plan, based on the probability that the underlying targets will be
achieved.

The
main features of the plan are as follows:



An
expense of €880,000 was recorded in relation to this plan in 2009, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

1.1.18 Equity warrants

Provalliance set up an equity warrant plan during 2008 under which it issued 17,750,000 warrants in two tranches. The first tranche
comprised 9,341,826 warrants with a per-warrant purchase price of €0.08 (based on fair value) and an exercise price of €1.02, and the second tranche
represented 8,408,174 warrants with a per-warrant purchase price of €0.04 (based on fair value) and an exercise price of €1.27.

The
warrants issued under both of the tranches have an exercise period running from July 30, 2010 to December 31, 2018 and are subject to performance conditions based on
consolidated EBITDA targets.

At
December 31, 2009 a total of 17,750,000 warrants were outstanding. No warrants were exercised or forfeited during the year.

The
main data used to calculate the fair value of these warrants were as follows:

1.1.19 Financial liabilities

The Group's financial liabilities do not include any derivative instruments other than the interest rate hedges described in
Note 14, "Financial Instruments".

At
December 31, 2009 the Group did not hold any financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit.

Other
current financial liabilities primarily correspond to bank overdrafts and credit facilities.

Borrowings
are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

1.1.20 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at cost. They are all due within one year.

1.1.21 Non-controlling interests

This item corresponds to the portion of profit or loss and net assets of a subsidiary attributable to equity interests that are not
owned, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by the parent. In accordance with paragraph 35 of IAS 27, when losses applicable to the non-controlling interest in a
consolidated subsidiary exceed the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary's equity, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the non-controlling interest, are
allocated against the controlling interest except to the extent that the non-controlling interest has a binding obligation to make an additional investment to cover the losses. If the
subsidiary subsequently reports profits, such profits are allocated to the controlling interest until the non-controlling interest's share of losses previously absorbed by the controlling
interest has been recovered.

1.1.22 Disclosures concerning related parties

The Group has identified the following related parties:



Compensation
and other benefits paid to related parties in 2009 amounted to €1,620,000, compared with €1,706,000 in 2008. No payments were made during the

1.1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)



Provalliance
SAS is currently in the process of determining the potential impact of these new standards, interpretations and amendments on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
At this stage, the Group does not expect the impact to be material, except for (i) the revised version of IFRS 3 which introduces changes in accounting for business combinations that are
required to be applied prospectively and (ii) IFRS 9, for which the Group has not yet begun its analysis in view of the fact that the standard has only recently been published and is
still incomplete.

1.2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to the following inter-related risks:



This
note sets out information on the Group's exposure to each of these risks, as well as the Group's objectives, strategy and procedures for risk management and assessment and its
capital management practices. Quantitative information on these issues is provided in other sections of the consolidated financial statements.

It
is the responsibility of the Chairman to define and oversee the Group's risk management process.

1.2.1 Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will default on its contractual obligations
resulting in a financial loss to the Group. This risk mainly arises from trade receivables and marketable securities.

1.2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

1.2.1.1 Trade and other receivables

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure on trade receivables as hairdressing services are paid for by customers on
a cash basis and defaults by franchisees are rare.

Other
receivables mainly correspond to prepaid and recoverable payroll and other taxes.

1.2.1.2 Investments

The Group restricts its exposure to this type of credit risk by only using short-term liquid investments.

1.2.1.3 Guarantees

The Group only grants financial guarantees to wholly-owned subsidiaries.

1.2.1.4 Bank counterparties

The Group only enters into financial undertakings with major financial institutions.

1.2.2 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk corresponds to the risk that the Group will experience difficulties in honoring its debts when they fall due. The Group
manages liquidity risk by ensuring that, to the extent possible, it will always have sufficient liquidity to settle its liabilities when they fall due, either in normal conditions or in difficult
circumstances, without incurring unacceptable losses or damaging the Group's image.

The
Group draws up earnings and cash flow forecasts for each hair salon it owns, which helps it to manage its cash flow needs and optimize its cash return on investments.

The
Group generally ensures that it has sufficient demand deposits to cover its expected operating expenses for each coming month, including the amounts required to service its debt.
However, these funds do not factor in the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot be reasonably anticipated.

The
Group has entered into bank covenants with several financial institutions for the purpose of setting up external financing. The applicable ratios under these
covenantswhich vary depending on the type of acquisition involvedare as follows:

1.2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

The
Group complied with all of its bank covenants at December 31, 2009.

1.2.3 Market risk

Market risk corresponds to the risk that changes in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and the prices of equity
instruments, will impact the Group's earnings or the value of the financial instruments it holds.

The
Group's market risk management objective is to manage and control its exposure to market risk within acceptable limits, while optimizing reward-to-risk
ratios.

1.2.3.1 Interest rate risk

The majority of the Group's borrowings are at fixed rates. Its most significant variable-rate borrowings are hedged by
interest-rate swaps that have the same characteristics as the underlying loans.

The
procedures for managing interest rate risk are described in Note 14.3.

1.2.3.2 Foreign exchange risk

The Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant.

14.3 Management of interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as its debt comprises both fixed and variable rate borrowings. The risk arising from
fluctuations in variable interest rates is hedged using interest rate swaps whereby the Group receives (or pays) the difference between fixed and variable rate interest streams calculated on notional
principal amounts. Interest rate swaps are qualified as cash flow hedges and are measured at fair value as determined based on prices quoted by the banks.

The
following table shows the notional amounts and remaining duration of the interest rate swaps outstanding at the end of the reporting period.
