EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2005 (the Original Filing). The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 (Form 10-Q/A) to reflect restatements of its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related notes thereto, as discussed below. For a more detailed description of these restatements, see “Restatement of Financial Statements” in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this Form 10-Q/A. Information presented in the section entitled Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” has also been revised, as applicable, for the effects of the restatement of financial data.

During the third quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 (fiscal year 2005), Regis Corporation (the Company) became aware that a number of retailers and restaurant operators had disclosed in their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that they were reassessing their accounting related to leases and that some companies had restated their financial statements to reflect changes in their accounting for leases. In light of these disclosures and restatements, the Company conducted a review of its lease accounting policies and practices.

In its lease accounting review, the Company examined its leases to determine the appropriate lease term for each lease under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Typically, the Company’s operating leases do not require rental payments to begin until the salon is opened. The leased space is sometimes made available to the Company prior to the commencement of salon operations in order to allow time for installing normal leasehold improvements and equipment necessary to operate a salon. The Company historically began to recognize rental expense on a straight-line basis at the earlier of the commencement of operations or the commencement of rental payments. However, the Company did not include the rent holiday period in its straight-line rent calculation. A rent holiday is considered to be any period where the lessee has the right to control the use of the leased property but no rental payments are required under the lease during that period. FASB Technical Bulletin (FTB) 85-3, “Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases,” requires rent holiday periods in an operating lease to be recognized by the lessee on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which includes any rent holiday period.

Based on the review of the Company’s accounting for operating leases, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to restate certain of its prior financial statements to appropriately account for rent holiday periods. On April 13, 2005, the Company determined that its previously filed financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2004 (ended June 30, 2004) and its previously filed financial statements included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first two quarters of fiscal year 2005 should be restated. The restatement to appropriately account for rent holidays had no impact on the overall cash flows of the Company’s business. The Company has completed its lease accounting review and has reflected all of the necessary adjustments in its restated Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

This Form 10-Q/A sets forth the content of the Original Filing in its entirety, with changes to Items 1, 2, and 4 of Part I and Item 6 of Part II of the Original Filing amended, in each case, solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement. No other information in the Original Filing has been amended in this Form 10-Q/A. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of Part II of the Original Filing has been amended to contain the awareness letter of the Company’s independent registered public accountants and currently-dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The awareness letter of the Company’s independent registered public accountant is attached to this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibit 15. The certifications of the Company’s CEO and CFO are attached to this form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

Except for the foregoing amended information, this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that have occurred subsequent to that date. Other events occurring after the date of the Original Filing or other information necessary to reflect subsequent events have been disclosed in reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing and any other reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this filing.

The Company has not amended and does not intend to amend its previously-filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatement that ended prior to June 30, 2004. For this reason, the Consolidated Financial Statements, reports of independent accountants and related financial information for the affected periods contained in such reports should no longer be relied upon.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
 
    The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information of Regis Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2004 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full year.
 
    The Consolidated Balance Sheet data for June 30, 2004 was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2004 and other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the current fiscal year.
 
    With respect to the unaudited condensed financial information of the Company for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 included in this Form 10-Q/A, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated January 26, 2005 appearing herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
 
    Cost of Product Used and Sold:
 
    Product costs related to the sale of product or services to salon customers are determined by applying estimated gross profit margins to service and product revenues, which are based on historical factors including product pricing trends and estimated shrinkage. In addition, the estimated gross profit margin is adjusted based on the results of physical inventory counts performed at least semi-annually. During September of fiscal year 2005, the Company performed a physical inventory count which was finalized during the second quarter and resulted in changes in the Company’s interim fiscal usage estimates, and a corresponding adjustment that increased second quarter cost of sales by approximately $1.5 million. Significant changes in product costs, volumes or shrinkage could have a material impact on the Company’s gross margin. Product costs related to the sale of product to franchisees are determined by weighted average cost.
 
    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 and improvements and five to ten years for equipment, furniture, software and leasehold improvements). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease term, generally ten 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 stated lease period 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. Amortization expense related to capitalized software is determined based on an estimated useful life of five or seven years.

(Unaudited)

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 operations. Fully depreciated/amortized assets remain in the accounts until retired from service.

Deferred Rent and Rent Expense:

The Company leases most salon, beauty school and hair restoration center locations under operating leases. Most lease agreements contain tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives, rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require rent expense to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 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 Condensed 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.

For tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives and rent holidays, the Company records a deferred rent liability in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortizes the deferred rent as a reduction to rent expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the lease (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).

Certain lease agreements contain 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. Such “stepped” rent expense is recorded in the Condensed 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).

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, along with the corresponding rent expense in the Condensed 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.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised FAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment (revised 2004)” (FAS No. 123R), which supersedes APB No. 25 and amends FAS No. 123 to require companies to expense the value of stock-based compensation plans. Additionally, FAS 123R, once adopted, disallows the use of the prospective transition method permitted by FAS No. 148. FAS 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005 (i.e., the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2006).

As discussed in Note 1 in conjunction with stock-based employee compensation plans, the Company currently has three types of stock-based compensation: stock options, SARs and restricted stock. The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 using the prospective transition method as of the beginning of fiscal year 2004. No SARS or restricted stock were issued before fiscal year 2004; therefore, the adoption of FAS No. 123R has no effect with respect to these types of stock-based awards. However, in compliance with the prospective transition method under FAS No. 148, no compensation expense is currently recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations with respect to stock options granted prior to fiscal year 2004 (the date upon which Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions under FAS No. 123). The Company will adopt FAS No. 123R on July 1, 2005. Under the provisions of FAS 123R, compensation expense will also be recognized in earnings over the vesting period for stock options which remain unvested as of the date of adoption (July 1, 2005), regardless of their grant date. The Company expects the adoption of FAS 123R to incrementally increase compensation expense by approximately $2.6 million during fiscal year 2006.

In November, 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (FAS No. 151). FAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) by requiring all such costs to be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether or not the costs meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” Additionally, the Statement requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective prospectively for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Also in December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (FAS No. 153). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged, with the exception that nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets should be recorded on a carryover basis. FAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate this exception for similar productive assets and replace it with the general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of FAS No. 153 should be applied prospectively to nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October, 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on EITF Issue No. 04-1 “Accounting for Preexisting Relationships between the Parties to a Business Combination” (EITF 04-1). This EITF requires, upon the acquisition of a business, acquiring companies to separately account for any pre-existing contractual relationships with the acquired entity. Amounts paid in settlement of any executory contracts must be expensed, measured at the lesser of (a) the amount by which the contract is favorable or unfavorable to market (from the acquiring company’s perspective) or (b) any stated settlement provisions in the contract. The reacquisition of an acquired entity’s contractual right to use the acquiring company’s intangible assets must be recognized as an intangible asset apart from goodwill, measured at a value not to exceed any stated reacquisition amount included in the contract. If a business combination effectively settles a lawsuit or executory contract and that settlement results in a gain or loss for the acquiring company, that company must recognize a settlement gain or loss. The following disclosures are also required by EITF 04-1: (a) the nature of the pre-existing relationship; (b) the fair value of the acquired entity’s assets and liabilities that were settled, including how fair value was determined; and (c) the amount of the settlement gain or loss recognized. This EITF must be applied to business combinations after October 13, 2004. The adoption of EITF 04-1 has not had, and the Company does not expect it to have in the future, a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. When purchasing its franchisees, the fair value of any reacquired franchise right is estimated and considered in the purchase price allocation.

Also during October 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF with respect to EITF Issue No. 04-10, “Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds” (EITF 04-10), which clarifies the guidance in paragraph 19 of FAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (FAS No. 131). According to EITF 04-10, operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated under paragraph 19 only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principle of FAS No. 131, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in items (a)-(e) in paragraph 17 of FAS No. 131. The FASB staff is currently working on a FASB Staff Position (FSP) to provide guidance in determining whether two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics. The effective date of EITF 04-10 has been delayed in order to coincide with the effective date of the anticipated FSP, with early application is permitted. The adoption of EITF 04-10 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” FSP No. FAS 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and allows additional time for entities potentially impacted by the provision to determine whether any foreign earnings will be repatriated under those provisions. As discussed in Note 8, the Company has completed a preliminary evaluation of the repatriation provisions and Treasury guidance and has determined that there is no advantage to electing repatriation under the Act.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans:

d At December 31, 2004, the Company had 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. Prior to July 1, 2003, the Company accounted for its 2000 Stock Option Plan and 1991 Stock Option Plan using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25) and related Interpretations and applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS No. 123), as amended by FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (FAS No. 148), for disclosure purposes only. The FAS No. 123 disclosures include pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method of accounting had been used. Under the provisions of APB No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 using the prospective transition method. Under the prospective method of adoption, compensation cost is recognized related to options granted, modified or settled after the beginning of the fiscal year in which the fair value method is first adopted. Under this approach, fiscal year 2005 and 2004 compensation expense is less than it would have been had the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 been applied from its original effective date because the fair value of the options vesting during the year which were granted prior to fiscal year 2004 are not recognized under the prospective transition method in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Options granted in fiscal years prior to the adoption of the fair value recognition provisions continue to be accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25 during fiscal year 2005. The adoption of the fair value recognition provisions for stock options increased the Company’s second quarter and year-to-date fiscal year 2005 compensation expense by approximately $0.2 million, and is expected to increase total fiscal year 2005 compensation expense by approximately $0.3 million.

The 2004 Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in May of 2004 and received shareholder approval on October 28, 2004. In June 2004 (prior to shareholder approval), 72,500 shares of restricted stock and 110,750 stock appreciation rights (SARs) were awarded under the 2004 Plan, pending shareholder approval. No stock options have been granted under the 2004 Plan. Since the 2004 Plan did not receive shareholder approval until the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, no compensation expense was recognized related to the 2004 Plan prior to this quarter. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million was recognized related to restricted stock and SARs, respectively.

2.   RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
 
    During the third quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 (fiscal year 2005), the Company became aware that a number of retailers and restaurant operators had disclosed in their filings with the SEC that they were reassessing their accounting related to leases and that some companies had restated their financial statements to reflect changes in their accounting for leases. In light of these disclosures and restatements, the Company conducted a review of its lease accounting policies and practices.
 
    In its lease accounting review, the Company examined its real estate leases to determine the appropriate lease term for each lease under GAAP. Typically, the Company’s operating leases do not require rental payments to begin until the salon is opened. The leased space is sometimes made available to the Company prior to the commencement of salon operations in order to allow time for installing normal leasehold improvements and equipment necessary to operate a salon. The Company historically began to recognize rental expense on a straight-line basis at the earlier of the commencement of operations or the commencement of rental payments. However, the Company did not previously include the rent holiday period in its straight-line rent calculation. A rent holiday is considered to be any period where the lessee has the right to control the use of the leased property but no rental payments are required under the lease during that period. FASB Technical Bulletin (FTB) 85-3, “Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases,” requires rent holiday periods in an operating lease to be recognized by the lessee on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which includes any rent holiday period.

(Unaudited)

Based on the review of the Company’s accounting for operating leases, the Company concluded that its previously reported rent expense amounts needed to be restated to reflect rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the appropriately defined lease term. This correction generally results in an increase of the total amount of rent expense recorded each fiscal year, with a corresponding adjustment to the deferred rent liability (within other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet). The adjustment to lease expense is tax effected, which causes adjustments to income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, as well as deferred income taxes (within other noncurrent liabilities) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company restated its previously issued financial statements, including those in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and those in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004. The restatement did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated revenues or cash flow from operations. Following is a summary of the effects of the lease accounting corrections on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003:

5.   SEGMENT INFORMATION:
 
    The Company operates or franchises 8,381 North American salons (located in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico), 2,031 international salons and 15 beauty schools. Additionally, the Company purchased 91 hair restoration centers (42 company-owned and 49 franchise locations) in conjunction with its purchase of Hair Club for Men and Women during December 2004. The Company operates its North American salon operations through five primary concepts: Regis Salons, MasterCuts, Trade Secret, SmartStyle and Strip Center salons. Each of the concepts offer similar products and services, concentrates on the mass-market consumer marketplace and has consistent distribution channels. All of the company-owned and franchise salons within the North American salon concepts are located in high traffic, retail shopping locations that attract mass-market consumers, and the individual salons generally display similar economic characteristics. The salons share interdependencies and a common support base. The Company’s international salon operations, which are primarily in Europe, are located in malls, leading department stores, mass merchants and high-street locations. The Company’s beauty schools are located in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company’s newly acquired hair restoration centers are located in the United States and Canada.
 
    Based on the way the Company manages its business, it has reported its North American salons, international salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers as four separate segments. In the prior fiscal year, the Company reported two segments: North American and international operations. Salons and beauty schools were included within each of these segments due to the way in which the Company managed its business at that time. Management began reviewing the operations of the beauty schools separately from the salon operations during fiscal year 2005 in anticipation of further expansion into the beauty school business. Further, the acquisition of Hair Club for Men and Women allowed the Company to expand into a new line of business, and thereby created an additional segment (hair restoration centers). Segment information for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2004 has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
    Financial information for the Company’s reporting segments is shown in the following tables:

    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 respective useful lives (ranging from four to 50 years). The straight-line method of amortization allocates the cost of the intangible assets 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:

7.   ACQUISITIONS:
 
    During the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company made numerous 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.

Based upon purchase price allocations, which may have components representing preliminary allocations with respect to recent acquisitions, the components of the aggregate purchase prices of the acquisitions made during the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the allocation of the purchase prices, were as follows:

  $ 244,743     $ 33,611  
 
           

In a limited number of acquisitions, the Company has guaranteed that stock issued in conjunction with the acquisition will reach a certain market price. If the stock should not reach this price during an agreed-upon time frame (typically three years from the date of acquisition), the Company is obligated to issue additional shares to the sellers. Once the agreed-upon stock price is met or exceeded for a period of five consecutive days, the contingency is met and the Company is no longer liable. Based on the December 31, 2004 market price, the Company would be required to provide an additional 39,678 shares related to these acquisition contingencies if the agreed-upon time frames were all assumed to have expired December 31, 2004. These contingently issuable shares have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.

In December 2004, the Company purchased Hair Club for Men and Women (Hair Club) for approximately $210 million, financed with debt. Hair Club offers a comprehensive menu of hair restoration solutions ranging from Extreme Hair Therapy™ to the non-surgical Bio-Matrix® Process and the latest advancements in hair transplantation, based on an analysis of what is best for each customer’s situation. Hair Club operations have been included in the operations of the Company since the acquisition was completed on December 1, 2004, and are reported in Note 5 in the “hair restoration centers” segment. The hair restoration centers are expected to generate approximately $100 to $110 million in annual revenues, with an operating margin of approximately 20 percent of revenues.

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 (driven by word-of-mouth referrals), service quality and price point competitiveness. These attributes represent the “going concern” value of the salon. While the value of the acquired customer base is the primary driver of any potential acquisition’s cash flows (which determines the purchase price), it is neither known nor identifiable at the time of the acquisition. The cash flow history of a salon primarily results from repeat walk-in customers driven by the existing personal relationship between the customer and the stylist(s). Under FAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” a customer base does not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill. As such, this portion of the purchase price is captured within goodwill and should not be attributed to any other contractual arrangement. Because we are acquiring the “going concern” value of the salon, driven primarily by the manner in which the salon has been operated and the existing walk-in customer base’s relationship with the stylist(s), the value being acquired is subsumed into goodwill in accordance with FAS No. 141.

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, beauty schools 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 Hair Club, is generally not deductible for tax purposes due to the acquisition structure of the transaction.

    In the Consolidated Financial Statements, the identifiable intangible assets are amortized over lives ranging from four to 50 years and, in accordance with FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill has an unlimited useful life and is not amortized. However, in certain transactions, neither goodwill nor identifiable intangible assets are amortized for tax purposes. In these transactions, a deferred income tax liability is recognized at the date of acquisition in accordance with FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to account for the tax effect of the future amortization of the identifiable intangible assets which will be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
8.   INCOME TAXES:
 
    On October 4, 2004, President Bush signed an Act into law that included a provision reinstating the Work Opportunity and Welfare-to-Work Credits. The reinstatement is retroactive to January 1, 2004 and the credits will be available through December 31, 2005. For interim reporting purposes, the Company determines the best estimate of its annual effective tax rate and applies this rate in calculating income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Any immediate impact resulting from a change in tax law is recognized in the interim period in which the law change is enacted. Since the credits were reinstated (enacted) after September 30, 2004, they were not included in the Company’s calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate in the first quarter ended September 30. The Company remeasured its annual estimated tax rate in the second quarter, with consideration given to the reinstated tax credit for the full fiscal year. The resulting catch-up adjustment related to the first quarter was recognized in the second quarter, effectively reducing the second quarter’s tax provision by less than $0.1 million. The Company expects this change in tax law to have an annual impact of approximately $0.9 million for fiscal year 2005.
 
    Additionally, President Bush signed into law the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act) on October 22, 2004. The Act creates, among other things, a temporary incentive for United States (U.S.) multinational companies to repatriate accumulated income earned outside the U.S. at an effective U.S. income tax rate as low as 5.25 percent as long as the repatriated income is invested in the U. S. pursuant to a plan. On January 13, 2005, the Internal Revenue Service issued its guidelines for applying the repatriation provisions of the Act, including guidance on qualifying dividends and qualifying reinvestment plans.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of Regis Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying restated condensed consolidated balance sheet of Regis Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and the related restated condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and of cash flows for the six month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated August 24, 2004, except for Note 2, as to which the date is May 9, 2005, which contained explanatory paragraphs indicating (i) the Company changed its method of accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements to begin expensing new awards as of July 1, 2003 and (ii) the Company restated its financial statements as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the three years ended June 30, 2004 to account for rent holidays on a straight-line basis, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the company restated its financial statements for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   

RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During our quarter ending March 31, 2005 (third quarter of fiscal year 2005), we became aware that a number of retailers and restaurant operators had disclosed in their filings with the SEC that they were reassessing their accounting related to leases and that some companies had restated their financial statements to reflect changes in their accounting for leases. In light of these disclosures and restatements, we conducted a review of our lease accounting policies and practices.

In our lease accounting review, we examined our leases to determine the appropriate lease term for each lease under GAAP. Typically, our operating leases do not require rental payments to begin until the salon is opened. The leased space is sometimes made available to us prior to the commencement of salon operations in order to allow time for installing normal leasehold improvements and equipment necessary to operate a salon. We historically began to recognize rental expense on a straight-line basis at the earlier of the commencement of operations or the commencement of rental payments. However, we did not include the rent holiday period in our straight-line rent calculation. A rent holiday is considered to be any period where the lessee has the right to control the use of the leased property but no rental payments are required under the lease during that period. FASB Technical Bulletin (FTB) 85-3, “Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases,” requires rent holiday periods in an operating lease to be recognized by the lessee on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which includes any rent holiday period. Therefore, we restated our financial statements for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 to appropriately account for rent holiday periods. The restatement to appropriately account for rent holidays had no impact on our consolidated revenues or cash flows from operations.

Based on the review of our accounting for operating leases, we have restated our previously issued financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, as well as those in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004. We filed a Form 10-K/A with restated Consolidated Financial Statements, and are filing a Form 10-Q/A for each of these interim reporting periods with restated Condensed Consolidated Financial Information.

See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the effect of this change on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW

Regis Corporation (RGS) is the industry leader in the hair service business, which includes three distinct, but related, elements: beauty salons, hair restoration centers and beauty schools. As of December 31, 2004, our worldwide operations included 10,412 system-wide North American and international salons, 91 hair restoration centers and 15 beauty schools. Each of our salon concepts offer generally similar products and services and serves mass-market consumers. Our salon operations are organized to be managed based on geographical location. Our North American salon operations include 8,381 salons, including 2,324 franchise salons, operating in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico primarily under the trade names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, Trade Secret, SmartStyle, Supercuts and Cost Cutters. Our international salon operations include 2,031 salons, including 1,600 franchise salons, located throughout Europe, primarily in the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. In December 2004, we purchased Hair Club for Men and Women. This enterprise includes 91 North American locations, including 42 corporate and 49 franchise locations. Our beauty schools are managed in aggregate, regardless of geographical location, and include eleven locations in the United States and four locations in the United Kingdom. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, we had an average of approximately 52,000 corporate employees worldwide.

Our growth strategy consists of two primary, but flexible, building blocks. Through a combination of organic and acquisition growth, we seek to achieve our long-term objective of 10-to-14 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, student enrollment, hair restoration lead generation, the availability of attractive acquisition candidates and same-store sales trends, this mix will vary from year-to-year. We believe achieving revenue growth of 10-to-14 percent, including same-store sales increases in excess of two percent, will allow us to increase annual earnings at a low-to-mid teen percent growth rate. We anticipate expanding our presence in both North America and Europe. Additionally, we desire to enter the Asian market within the next five years.

Maintaining financial flexibility is a key element in continuing our successful growth. With strong operating cash flow and an investment grade credit rating, 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 anticipate expanding all of our salon concepts. In addition, 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, strong customer traffic and 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. We anticipate that we will add approximately 1,000 net salons each year through a combination of organic, acquisition and franchise growth.

Organic salon revenue growth is achieved through the combination of new salon construction and salon same-store sales increases. Each fiscal year, we anticipate building several hundred corporate salons. We anticipate our franchisees will open several hundred salons as well. 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, we project our annual fiscal year 2005 consolidated same-store sales increase to be below the low end of our long-term outlook range.

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 2004, we completed over 300 acquisitions, adding a net of nearly 7,000 salons. We anticipate adding several hundred corporate 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 the industry leading provider of hair loss solutions with an estimated four to five percent share of the $4.3 billion domestic market. This industry is comprised of approximately 4,000 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 and school 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 their 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 will be evaluated closely for additional growth opportunities.

Beauty School Business

We have begun acquiring and are exploring the possibility of building beauty schools. The beauty school business is highly profitable, and often participates in governmental programs designed to encourage education. We believe there is an opportunity to place graduates in our various salon concepts which may provide us with another competitive advantage. Similar to the salon and hair loss industries, the beauty school industry is highly fragmented. As a result, we believe there is an opportunity to consolidate this industry through acquisition, as well. Expanding this business would allow us to add incremental revenue without cannibalizing our existing salon or hair restoration center businesses. Primarily through acquisition, we believe beauty schools could contribute over $100 million in annual revenue within a few years.

Our organic growth plans for the beauty school business include the construction of new locations; however, due to Department of Education policies, we will be limited in the number of new schools we are able to construct in the immediate future. The success of a beauty school location is not dependent on good visibility or strong customer traffic; however, access to parking and/or public transportation is important. The success of existing and newly constructed schools is dependent on effective marketing and recruiting to attract new enrollees.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We base these estimates on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on our Condensed 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 the June 30, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. We believe the accounting policies related to the valuation of goodwill, the valuation and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, purchase price allocations, revenue recognition, the cost of product used and sold, self-insurance accruals, legal contingencies and estimates used in relation to tax liabilities and deferred taxes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations. Discussion of each of these policies is contained under “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our June 30, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. No changes have been made to these policies since June 30, 2004.

Consolidated Revenues

Consolidated revenues include revenues of company-owned salons, product and equipment sales to franchisees, beauty school revenues, hair restoration center revenues, and franchise royalties and fees. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005, consolidated revenues increased 13.7 percent to $537.3 million and 11.8 percent to $1.0 billion, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

*   Includes aggregate franchise royalties and fees of $19.9 and $18.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $38.6 and $36.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. North American franchise revenues (including franchise revenues hair restoration centers) represented 52.9 and 54.7 percent of total franchise revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 53.8 and 57.1 percent of total franchise revenues in the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Salon same-store sales increases or decreases are calculated on a daily basis as the total change in sales for company-owned salons which were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date salon same-store sales increases are the sum of the same-store sales increases computed on a daily basis. Relocated salons are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. 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.

The 13.7 and 11.8 percent increases in consolidated revenues during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, were driven by the following:

                 
    Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues  
    For the Periods Ended December 31, 2004  
    Three Months     Six Months  
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)

Table of Contents

We acquired 416 company-owned salons (including 160 franchise salon buybacks), 42 company-owned hair restoration centers and ten company-owned beauty schools during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The organic growth stemmed from the construction of 511 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, as well as consolidated same-store sales increases. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005, the foreign currency impact was driven by the further weakening of the United States dollar against the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates. The impact of foreign currency was calculated by multiplying current year revenues in local currencies by the change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal year and the prior fiscal year.

Consolidated revenues are primarily comprised of service and product revenues, as well as franchise royalties and fees. Fluctuations in these three major revenue categories were as follows:

Service Revenues. Service revenues include revenues generated from company-owned salons, tuition and service revenues generated within our beauty schools, and service revenues generated by hair restoration centers. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, total service revenues were as follows:

                         
(Dollars in thousands)           Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year  
Periods Ended December 31,   Revenues     Dollar     Percentage  
Three Months
                       
2004
  $ 357,147     $ 50,517       16.5 %
2003
    306,630       35,942       13.3  
Six Months
                       
2004
  $ 696,582     $ 87,000       14.3 %
2003
    609,582       75,818       14.2  

The growth in service revenues in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005 were driven primarily by acquisitions and organic growth in our salons (new salon construction and same-store sales growth).

Product Revenues. Product revenues are primarily comprised of retail sales at company-owned salons, sales of product and equipment to franchisees, and retail product sales made by our beauty schools and hair restoration centers. Total product revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

                         
(Dollars in thousands)           Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year  
Periods Ended December 31,   Revenues     Dollar     Percentage  
Three Months
                       
2004
  $ 160,249     $ 12,807       8.7 %
2003
    147,442       20,651       16.3  
Six Months
                       
2004
  $ 308,368     $ 21,266       7.4 %
2003
    287,102       41,282       16.8  

Fiscal year 2005 product revenue increases were not as robust as in the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower same-store product sales increases in our company-owned salons. The large increase in same-store product sales during fiscal year 2004 was primarily driven by a trend towards sales of higher priced beauty tools, such as flat irons.

Franchise Royalties and Fees. Total franchise revenues, which include royalties and franchise fees, were as follows:

                         
(Dollars in thousands)           Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year  
Periods Ended December 31,   Revenues     Dollar     Percentage  
Three Months

2003

Table of Contents

Total franchise locations open at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were 3,973 (including 49 franchise hair restoration centers) and 3,995, respectively. We purchased 160 of our franchise salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, which drove the overall decrease in the number of franchise salons between periods.

The increase in consolidated franchise revenues during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which caused franchise revenues to increase 5.0 and 4.2 percent, respectively. Exclusive of the effect of this favorable currency fluctuation, consolidated franchise revenues increased 3.5 and 1.6 percent in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively. These increases were primarily due to opening more new international franchise salons during the first half of fiscal year 2005 as compared to the first half of the prior fiscal year, as well as the acquisition of 49 franchise hair restoration centers.

Gross Margin

Our cost of revenues primarily includes labor costs related to salon employees, beauty school instructors and hair restoration center employees, the cost of product used in providing services and the cost of products sold to customers and franchisees. The resulting gross margin for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was as follows:

*   Represents the basis point change in service margin as a percent of service revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point decrease in service margins during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 was related to overstaffing due to lower than expected same-store sales during the latter half of December 2004, a shift in the mix of services provided to include a greater proportion of higher cost services, such as colorings, and our decision to compensate employees while salons were closed in the southeast United States during the first quarter due to the hurricanes.

*   Represents the basis point change in product margin as a percent of product revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The decrease in product margins as a percent of product revenues during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 was due to lower same-store product sales increases in the Trade Secret salons, which have fixed-cost payrolls, and changes in the mix of products carried and sold.

Site Operating Expenses

This expense category includes direct costs incurred by our salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers, such as on-site advertising, workers’ compensation, insurance, utilities and janitorial costs. As a percent of consolidated revenues, site operating expenses were relatively consistent with the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

General and Administrative

General and administrative (G&A) includes costs associated with our field supervision, salon training and promotions, product distribution centers and corporate offices (such as salaries and professional fees), including costs incurred to support franchise, beauty school and hair restoration center operations. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, G&A costs were as follows:

*   Represents the basis point change in G&A as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The increase in G&A costs as a percent of total revenues during the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005 was primarily due to the addition of the hair restoration centers, which have slightly higher G&A costs due to the marketing-intensive nature of that business. Additionally, lower same-store sales increases in our salons contributed to the increase in these costs as a percent of revenues. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the effect of these items was partially offset by a $1.3 million expense during the first quarter of the prior fiscal year related to the write-off of loans associated with split dollar life insurance arrangements and $0.6 million of expense related to the write-off of the cash surrender value of the related policies. The loans were written off due to final regulations issued by the IRS on the taxation of such split dollar arrangements.

*   Represents the basis point change in rent expense as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The increase in this fixed-cost expense as a percent of total revenues during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to rent expense increasing at a faster rate than salon same-store sales in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005.

Interest

Interest expense was as follows:

*   Represents the basis point change in interest expense as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The increase in interest expense as a percent total revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to an increase in our debt level stemming from our second quarter acquisition activity, including the hair restoration centers.

Income Taxes

Our reported effective tax rate was as follows:

                 
Periods Ended   Effective     Basis Point  
December 31,   Rate     Improvement  
Three Months
               
2004 (as restated)

2004 (as restated)
    34.8 %     (160 )
2003 (as restated)
    36.4       (100 )

The improvement in our overall effective tax rate was primarily the result of the reinstated Work Opportunity Credit (refer to Note 8 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), as well a larger percentage of our income being generated in lower rate international tax jurisdictions.

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 operations.

Constant Currency Presentation

The presentation below demonstrates the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from year to year. In the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005, foreign currency translation had a positive impact on consolidated revenues and net income before income taxes due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, British pound and Euro. 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.

Results of Operations by Segment

Based on our internal management structure, we report four segments: North American salons, international salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers. Significant results of operations are discussed below with respect to each of these segments.

North American Salons

North American Salon Revenues. Total North American salon revenues were as follows:

                                 
(Dollars in thousands)           Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year     Same-Store  
Periods Ended December 31,   Revenues     Dollar     Percentage     Sales Increase  
Three Months
                               
2004
  $ 465,318     $ 44,380       10.5 %     0.2 %
2003
    420,938       46,608       12.5       2.2  
Six Months
                               
2004
  $ 913,746     $ 78,275       9.4 %     0.4 %
2003
    835,471       97,694       13.2       2.3  

The percentage increases during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 were due to the following factors:

                 
    Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues  
    For the Periods Ended December 31, 2004  
    Three Months     Six Months  
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)
    5.4 %     5.3 %
Organic growth
    5.0       4.2  
Foreign currency
    0.4       0.4  
Franchise revenues
          (0.1 )
Closed salons
    (0.3 )     (0.4 )
 
           
 
    10.5 %     9.4 %
 
           

We acquired 385 company-owned North American salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, including 160 franchise buybacks. The organic growth stemmed primarily from the construction of 487 company-owned salons in North America during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Revenues were negatively impacted during the first half of fiscal year 2005 by the hurricanes in the southeast United States, which caused nearly 650 of our company-owned salons to be closed for at least one day during the first quarter, as well as reduced customer visits to salons. The foreign currency impact during the second quarter and first half of fiscal years 2005 was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates

North American Salon Operating Income. Operating income for the North American salons for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

*   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 periods of the prior fiscal year.

32


Table of Contents

The decrease in North American salon operating income during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily related to lower same-store sales increases as compared to the prior fiscal year, overstaffing due to lower than expected same-store sales during the latter half of December 2004, changes in the mix of services provided and products carried and sold, and our decision to compensate employees while salons were closed in the southeast United States during the first quarter due to the hurricanes.

International Salons

International Salon Revenues. Total international salon revenues were as follows:

                                 
(Dollars in thousands)           Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year     Same-Store  
Periods Ended December 31,   Revenues     Dollar     Percentage     Sales Increase

2003
    90,952       15,255       20.2       5.5  

The percentage increases during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 were due to the following factors:

                 
    Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues  
    For the Periods Ended December 31, 2004

Closed salons
    (3.3 )     (3.6 )
 
           
 
    16.3 %     18.0 %
 
           

We acquired 31 company-owned international salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The organic growth stemmed from the construction of 24 company-owned international salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, as well as international same-store sales increases. The foreign currency impact during the second quarter and first half of fiscal years 2005 was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the British pound and the Euro as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates

International Salon Operating Income. Operating income for the international salons for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

                                         
(Dollars in thousands)

*   Represents the basis point change in international salon operating income as a percent of total international salon revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

33


Table of Contents

The basis point decrease in international salon operating income during the three months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily related to an adjustment to increase cost of sales by approximately $1.0 million stemming from our September 2004 physical inventory count, as well as increased supply costs. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, this was offset by improved rent expense stemming from favorable rent negotiations, as well as lower depreciation expense as a percent of revenues due to the continuing maturation of the salon base in the United Kingdom.

Beauty Schools

Beauty School Revenues. Total beauty schools revenues were as follows:

                         
(Dollars in thousands)           Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year  
Periods Ended December 31,   Revenues     Dollar     Percentage  
Three Months

2003
    6,750       6,242       1,228.7  

The percentage increases during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 were due to the following factors:

                 
    Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues  
    For the Periods Ended December 31, 2004  
    Three Months     Six Months  
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)
    97.3 %     93.0 %

Foreign currency
    8.0       7.0  
 
           
 
    116.8 %     108.7 %
 
           

We acquired ten beauty schools during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The foreign currency impact during the second quarter and first half of fiscal years 2005 was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the British pound as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates.

Beauty School Operating Income. Operating income for our beauty schools for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

                                         
(Dollars in thousands)

*   Represents the basis point change in beauty school operating income as a percent of total beauty school revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

We first began operating beauty schools during December 2002 (i.e., the second quarter of fiscal year 2003), in conjunction with the Vidal Sassoon acquisition. We have since expanded by acquiring six beauty schools during the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year (i.e., fiscal year 2004) and four additional beauty schools in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. Therefore, the year-over-year fluctuations in beauty school operating income stem primarily from our integration of the beauty schools and changes in the mix of beauty schools due to these acquisitions.

Hair Restoration Centers

As discussed in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we acquired Hair Club for Men and Women in December 2004. Therefore, our operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 include only one month of operations from this acquired entity (referred to as hair restoration centers for segment reporting purposes). Refer to Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the December operations of the hair restoration centers which were included in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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 quarter end, was as follows:

                 
    Debt to     Basis Point  
Date   Capitalization     (Increase) Decrease*  
December 31, 2004 (as restated)
    40.5 %     (990 )
June 30, 2004 (as restated)
    30.6       450  


*   Change as compared to prior fiscal year end (June 30).

During December 2004, we financed the $210 million acquisition of Hair Club for Men and Women with debt, which drove the increase in debt over the prior fiscal year. Our principal on-going cash requirements are to finance construction of new stores, remodel certain existing stores, acquire salons and beauty schools, and purchase inventory. Customers pay for salon services and merchandise in cash at the time of sale, which reduces our working capital requirements.

Total assets at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 were as follows:

The acquisition of Hair Club for Men and Women in December 2004 was the primary driver of the increase in total assets between June 30 and December 31, 2004.

Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 was as follows:

During the first six months of fiscal year 2005, equity increased primarily as a result of net income, increased accumulated other comprehensive income due to foreign currency translation adjustments as the result of the strengthening of foreign currencies that underlie our investments in those markets, and additional paid-in capital primarily recorded in connection with the exercise of stock options.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal year 2005 and 2004 was $112.5 and $113.7 million, respectively. The cash flows from operating activities were a result of the following:

                 
    Operating Cash Flows  
    For the Six Months Ended December 31,  
(Dollars in thousands)   2004     2003  
Net income (as restated)

    2,285       (491 )
 
           
 
  $ 112,535     $ 113,731  
 
           

During the first six months of fiscal year 2005, inventories increased due to growth in the number of salons, as well as lower than expected same-store product sales. Additionally, accounts payable and accrued expenses increased primarily due to the timing of insurance payments for workers’ compensation and payments related to inventory purchases, as well as increased accrued payroll due to the holiday season.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $290.9 and $67.9 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2005 and 2004, respectively, was the result of the following:

We constructed 245 company-owned salons, and acquired 134 company-owned salons (67 of which were franchise buybacks) and four company-owned beauty schools during the first six months of fiscal year 2005. Further, we acquired 42 company-owned and 49 franchise hair restoration centers during December of 2004 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Acquisitions were primarily funded by a combination of operating cash flows and debt. The company-owned constructed and acquired salons consisted of the following number of salons in each concept:

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $217.6 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2005 and net cash used in financing activities was $23.7 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2004, resulting from the following:

  $ 217,556     $ (23,677 )
 
           

The proceeds from the issuance of common stock were related to the exercise of stock options. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, the quarterly dividend was increased from its historical rate of $0.03 per share to $0.04 per share.

Acquisitions
 
The acquisitions during the first six months of fiscal year 2005 consisted of 67 franchise buybacks, 67 other acquired salons, four acquired beauty schools and 91 acquired hair restoration centers (including 49 franchise locations). These acquisitions individually and in the aggregate are not material to our operations. Therefore, pro forma information is not included in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The acquisitions were funded primarily from operating cash flow and debt.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We acquired Hair Club for Men and Women in December 2004 for approximately $210 million. The acquisition was financed with approximately $110 million of debt under our existing revolving credit facility and $100 million of senior term notes issued under an existing agreement, with interest rates ranging from 4.0 to 4.9 percent and maturation dates between November 2007 and November 2010. There have been no other significant changes in our commercial commitments such as commitments under lines of credit or standby letters of credit since June 30, 2004. We are in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our credit agreements and indentures. 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. Thus far during the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, we have acquired 53 franchised salons and three beauty schools. We also signed multiple agreements to acquire approximately 200 salons and six beauty schools; these agreements are expected to close during the third quarter ending March 31, 2005. In the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, we also made a minority investment in Cool Cuts 4 Kids, a Dallas, Texas-based company. This investment includes an option to purchase this business in three years. Cool Cuts 4 Kids currently operates 59 children’s salons in seven states.

Prior to December 31, 2002, we became guarantor on a limited number of equipment lease agreements between our franchisees and leasing companies. If the franchisee should fail to make payments in accordance with the lease, we will be held liable under such agreements and retain the right to possess the related salon operations. We believe the fair value of the salon operations exceeds the maximum potential amount of future lease payments for which we could be held liable. The existing guaranteed lease obligations, which have an aggregate undiscounted value of $2.3 million at December 31, 2004, terminate at various dates between June 2006 and April 2009. We have not experienced, and do not expect, any material loss to result from these arrangements.

Financing

Financing activities are discussed above and derivative activities are discussed in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” There were no other significant financing activities during the first six months of fiscal year 2005.

We believe that cash generated from operations and amounts available under our existing debt facilities will be sufficient to fund anticipated capital expenditures, acquisitions and required debt repayments for the foreseeable future.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $0.08 per share during the first six months of fiscal year 2005. On February 2, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a $0.04 per share quarterly dividend payable March 2, 2005 to shareholders of record on February 16, 2005.

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program under which up to $100.0 million could be expended for the repurchase of Regis Corporation common stock. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. The repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions and stock option exercises. As of December 31, 2004, a total of 1.8 million shares have been repurchased for $53.9 million, including 10,000 shares for $0.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004. All repurchased shares are immediately retired. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date.

Risk Factors

Impact of Acquisition and Real Estate Availablity

The key driver of our revenue and earnings growth is the number of locations we acquire or construct. While we believe that substantial future acquisition and organic growth opportunities exist, any material decrease in the number of such opportunities would have an impact on our revenue and earnings growth.

Impact of the Economic Environment

Changes to the United States, Canadian, United Kingdom and other European economies have an impact on our business. Visitation patterns to our salons and hair restoration centers can be adversely impacted by changes in unemployment rates and discretionary income levels.

Impact of Key Relationships

We maintain key relationships with certain companies. Termination of these relationships could have an adverse impact on our ability to grow or future operating results.

Impact of Fashion

Changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends can have an impact on our financial performance.

Impact of Changes in Regulatory and Statutory Laws

With more than 10,000 locations and an average of 52,000 corporate employees world-wide, our financial results can be adversely impacted by regulatory or statutory changes in laws.

Impact of Competition

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.

Table of Contents

Impact of Changes in Manufacturers’ Choice of Distribution Channels

The retail products that we sell are licensed to be carried exclusively by professional salons. 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.

Impact of Changes to Interest Rates and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

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 floating rate debt instruments and other financial instruments. See discussion in Item 3., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” for additional information.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an impact on our reported results from operations. The majority of the revenue and costs associated with the performance of our foreign operations are denominated in local currencies such as the Canadian dollar, Euro and British pound. Therefore, we do not have significant foreign currency transaction risk; however, the translation at different exchange rates from period to period may impact the amount of reported income from our international operations. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, operations denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar represented approximately 25 percent of consolidated net income before income taxes, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates benefited net income before income taxes by approximately $1.6 million. This impact was calculated by multiplying current year net income before income taxes in local currencies by the change in the average foreign currency exchange rate between the first six months of the current fiscal year and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Refer the constant currency discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” for further detail.

Impact of Seasonality

Our business is not subject to substantial seasonal variations in demand. However, the timing of Easter may cause a quarterly variation in the third and fourth quarters. Historically, our revenue and net earnings have generally been realized evenly throughout the fiscal year. The service and retail product revenues associated with our corporate salons, as well as our franchise revenues, are of a replenishment nature. We estimate that customer visitation patterns are generally consistent throughout the year.

Impact of Changes in Securities Laws and Regulations

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that became law in July 2002 requires changes in some of our corporate governance and securities disclosure or compliance practices. We are presently preparing for our required compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and management’s assertion concerning financial reporting controls. While we believe that we can ultimately comply with the new legislated requirements associated with being a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, this process is costly and presents both challenge and risk.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 also requires the SEC to promulgate new rules on a variety of subjects, in addition to rule proposals already made, and the New York Stock Exchange has approved revisions to its requirements for listed companies. We expect these developments to increase our compliance costs. These developments could possibly make it more difficult and more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These developments could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, or qualified executive officers.

Item 3. 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 floating 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. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the management of these exposures. 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 floating and fixed rate debt. As of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, the Company had the following outstanding debt balances, considering the effect of interest rate swaps and including $3.4 and $3.5 million related to the fair value swaps at December 31 and June 30, 2004, respectively:

                 
    December 31,     June 30,  
(Dollars in thousands)   2004     2004  
Fixed rate debt
  $ 303,683     $ 202,543  
Floating rate debt
    215,980       98,600  
 
           
 
  $ 519,663     $ 301,143  
 
           

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 floating 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. Generally, the terms of the interest rate swap agreements contain quarterly settlement dates based on the notional amounts of the swap contracts.

(Pay fixed rates, receive variable rates)

The Company had interest rate swap contracts that pay fixed rates of interest and receive variable rates of interest (based on the three-month LIBOR rate) on notional amounts of indebtedness of $11.8 million at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. These swaps are being accounted for as cash flow swaps.

The cumulative tax-effected net loss recorded in other comprehensive income, set forth under the caption shareholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, related to the cash flow swap was $0.3 and $0.4 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The following table depicts the hedging activity recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income account related to the cash flow swap for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

(Pay variable rates, receive fixed rates)

The Company has interest rate swap contracts that pay variable rates of interest (based on the three-month and six-month LIBOR rates plus a credit spread) and receive fixed rates of interest on an aggregate $68.5 and $81.0 million notional amount at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively, with maturation dates between July 2005 and March 2009. These swaps were designated as hedges of a portion of the Company’s senior term notes and are being accounted for as fair value swaps.

The Company’s fair value swaps are recorded at fair value within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding cumulative adjustment to the underlying senior term note within long-term debt of $2.4 million at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. Additionally, $1.0 and $1.1 million of deferred gain remained in long-term debt at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively, related to the early termination of a fair value swap contract. No hedge ineffectiveness occurred during the first half of fiscal year 2005 or 2004. As a result, the fair value swaps did not have a net impact on earnings.

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 Condensed 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 December 31, 2004, the Company has entered into the following financial instrument:

Hedge of the Net Investment in Foreign Subsidiaries:

The Company has a cross-currency swap with a notional amount of $21.3 million to hedge a portion of its net investments in its foreign operations. The purpose of this hedge is to protect against adverse movements in exchange rates. The cross-currency swap hedged approximately six and seven percent of the Company’s net investments in foreign operations at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively.

The Company’s cross-currency swap is recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, the Company’s net investment in this derivative financial instrument was in a $12.3 and $8.7 million loss position, respectively, based on its estimated fair value. The corresponding tax-effected offset is charged to the cumulative translation adjustment account, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income set forth under the caption shareholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, $2.1 and $1.7 million of tax-effected loss related to this derivative was charged to the cumulative translation adjustment account, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, $2.6 and $2.3 million of tax-effected loss related to this derivative was charged to the cumulative translation adjustment account, respectively.

For additional information, including a tabular presentation of the Company’s debt obligations and derivative financial instruments, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the Company’s June 30, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Other than the information included above, there have been no material changes to this information during the six months ended December 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

With the participation of management, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at the conclusion of the period ended December 31, 2004. Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Consideration of the Restatement

In coming to the conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004, our management considered, among other things, the control deficiency related to the determination of lease terms, which resulted in the need to restate our previously issued financial statements as disclosed in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q/A. After reviewing and analyzing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” paragraph 29 and SAB Topic 5-F, “Accounting Changes Not Retroactively Applied Due to Immateriality,” and taking into consideration (i) that the restatement adjustments did not have a material impact on the financial statements of prior interim or annual periods taken as a whole; (ii) that the cumulative impact of the restatement adjustments on stockholders’ equity was not material to the financial statements of prior interim or annual periods; and (iii) that we decided to restate our previously issued financial statements solely because the cumulative impact of the error, if recorded in the current period, would have been material to the current year’s reported net income, our management concluded that the control deficiency that resulted in the restatement of the prior period financial statements was not in itself a material weakness.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls or, to the knowledge of management of the Company, in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the Company’s most recent evaluation, for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, of its disclosure controls and procedures utilized to compile information included in this filing.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. 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 wage and hour violations. The Company is currently a defendant in a collective action lawsuit in which the plaintiffs allege violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The Company denies these allegations and will actively defend its position. However, 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.

Item 2. Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

(e) Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which up to $100.0 million can be expended for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. All repurchased shares are immediately retired. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date.

All repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 were part of this repurchase program. The following table shows the monthly second quarter fiscal year 2005 stock repurchase activity:
