ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENT IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES: | 6. ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENT IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES: Acquisitions The Company did not make any acquisitions during the six months ended December 31, 2012. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company made salon acquisitions and the purchase prices have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. These acquisitions individually and in the aggregate are not material to the Company’s operations. Operations of the acquired companies have been included in the operations of the Company since the date of the respective acquisition. On July 1, 2011, the Company acquired 31 franchise salon locations through its acquisition of a 60.0 percent ownership interest in Roosters for $2.3 million. The purchase agreement contains a right, Roosters Equity Put, to require the Company to purchase additional ownership interest in Roosters between specified dates in 2012 to 2015, and an option, Roosters Equity Call, whereby the Company can acquire additional ownership interest in Roosters beginning in 2015. The acquisition price was determined based on a multiple of the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of Roosters for a trailing twelve month period adjusted for certain items as defined in the agreement which is intended to approximate fair value. Total assets, total liabilities and total shareholders’ equity of Roosters as of December 31, 2012 were $6.0, $2.1 and $3.9 million, respectively. Net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Roosters was less than $0.1 and ($0.1) million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012. Net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Roosters was less than ($0.1) and ($0.1) million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011. Net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Roosters is recorded in interest income and other, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Shareholders’ equity attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Roosters was $1.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and was recorded in retained earnings within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 108 accredited cosmetology schools. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, to reflect the continuation of declining enrollment, revenue and profitability in the for-profit secondary educational market, EEG updated its budgeted financial projections for future periods. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $17.9 million other than temporary impairment charge on its investment in EEG. The Company did not receive a tax benefit on the impairment charge. The exposure to loss related to the Company’s involvement with EEG is the carrying value of the investment and the guarantee of EEG letters of credit totaling less than $0.5 million. Due to economic and other factors, the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges related to its investment in EEG and such impairments could be material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. In addition, EEG may be required to record impairment charges related to long-lived assets and goodwill, and our share of such impairment charges could be material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. The Company’s share of EEG’s goodwill balances as of December 31, 2012 is approximately $16 million. Based on the Company’s work associated with the investment impairment recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s estimate of EEG’s fair value exceeds carrying value by 5%. Any meaningful underperformance against plan or reduced outlook by EEG, changes to the carrying value of EEG or further erosion in valuations of the for—profit secondary educational market could lead to a goodwill impairment charge recorded by EEG for which the Company would record 55.1% of the impairment given the Company’s present ownership. During the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $0.2 and $1.5 million, respectively, of equity earnings related to its investment in EEG. During the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $0.1 and $2.5 million, respectively, of equity earnings related to its investment in EEG. The Company previously provided EEG with a $15.0 million revolving credit facility and outstanding loan, both of which matured during the three months ended December 31, 2012. During the three months ended December 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million of interest income related to the loan and revolving credit facility. During the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded less than $0.1 and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest income related to the loan and revolving credit facility. In addition, the Company received $0.8 and $26.4 million in principal payments on the loan and revolving credit facility during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. Provalliance On April 9, 2012, the Company entered into the Agreement to sell the Company’s 46.7 percent equity interest in Provalliance to the Provost Family for a purchase price of €80 million. The transaction closed on September 27, 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 the Company recorded a $0.6 million decrease in the fair value of the Provalliance Equity Put that automatically terminated upon closing of the share purchase agreement. Due to the sale of the Company’s investment in Provalliance, the Company has liquidated its foreign entities with Euro denominated operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized $33.8 million from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings, primarily foreign currency gain as a result of the liquidated Euro denominated operations. 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 contained an option that the Company exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2012 by exchanging a portion (21,700,000 Yen or $0.3 million) of the Exchangeable Note for 27.1 percent of the 800 outstanding shares of common stock of MY Style. The Company accounts for the 27.1 percent ownership interest in MY Style as a cost method investment. The Company has no influence over the operating and financial policies of MY Style as the Company does not have representation on MY Style’s board of directors and is a minority shareholder with no voting influence compared to Yamano Holding Corporation’s super-majority voting interest. The $0.6 million outstanding MY Style Note as of December 31, 2012 due in May 2013 is in good standing with no associated valuation allowance. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses on the MY Style Note are recorded through other income within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The foreign currency transaction (loss) gain was less than ($0.1) and $0.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The exposure to loss related to the Company’s involvement with MY Style is the carrying value of the outstanding note and investment in MY Style.
