Investment in Empire Education Group, Inc.

        As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company's ownership interest in Empire Education Group, Inc. (EEG) was 55.1 percent. EEG operates accredited cosmetology schools and is overseen by the Empire Beauty School management team. The Company accounts for EEG as an equity investment under the voting interest model.

        During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the company recorded other than temporary impairment charges on its investment in EEG of $17.9 and $19.4 million, respectively, to reflect the negative business impacts associated with regulatory changes including declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability in the for-profit secondary educational market. The Company did not receive a tax benefit on these impairment charges. The Company did not record an impairment charge during the fiscal year 2011. In addition, during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 the Company recorded its share, $2.1 and $8.7 million, respectively, of fixed and intangible asset impairments recorded directly by EEG.

        Due to economic, regulatory and other factors, the Company may be required to record additional noncash impairment charges related to its investment in EEG and such noncash impairments could be material to the Company's consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. In addition, EEG may be required to record noncash impairment charges related to long-lived assets and goodwill, and our share of such noncash impairment charges could be material to the Company's consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. The Company's share of EEG's goodwill balances as of June 30, 2013 is approximately $16 million. Based on the Company's work associated with the investment impairment recorded during the fiscal year 2013, the Company's estimate of EEG's fair value exceeds carrying value by approximately 5 percent. Any meaningful underperformance against plan or reduced outlook by EEG, changes to the carrying value of EEG or further erosion in valuations of the for-profit secondary educational market could lead to a goodwill impairment charge recorded by EEG for which the Company would record 55.1 percent of the impairment given the Company's present ownership.

        During fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company recorded $1.3, $(4.0), and $5.5 million, respectively, of equity earnings (loss) related to its investment in EEG.

        The Company previously provided EEG with a $15.0 million revolving credit facility and outstanding loan, both of which matured during fiscal year 2013. At June 30, 2012, there was $15.0 and $11.4 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility and loan outstanding, respectively. The Company received $15.0 million in payments on the revolving credit facility during the fiscal year 2013. The Company received $11.4 and $10.0 million in principal payments on the loan during the fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. During fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company recorded less than $0.1, $0.5, and $0.7 million, respectively, of interest income related to the loan and revolving credit facility.

During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded a $0.6 million decrease in the fair value of the Provalliance Equity Put that automatically terminated upon the sale.

        In connection with the sale of Provalliance, the Company recorded a $37.4 million other than temporary impairment charge during fiscal year 2012. In addition, the fair value of the Provalliance Equity Put decreased by $20.2 million to $0.6 million as of June 30, 2012. The other than temporary impairment charge and reduction in the fair value of the Provalliance Equity Put resulted in a net impairment charge of $17.2 million that is recorded within the equity in (loss) income of affiliated companies during fiscal year 2012. Regis did not receive a tax benefit on the net impairment charge.

        During fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $9.8, and $7.8 million, respectively, of equity earnings related to its investment in Provalliance. During fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company received $2.8 and $4.8 million, of cash dividends.
