Exhibit 99.3

Alberto-Culver Company and Simple Health & Beauty Group Limited

Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma financial information relates to the acquisition by Alberto-Culver Company (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Alberto-Culver UK Products Limited (“AC UK Products”), of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Simple Health & Beauty Group Limited (“Simple”). Simple is a leading skin care company based in the United Kingdom that was owned primarily by Duke Street, a mid-market private equity fund. AC UK Products was organized by the Company for the purpose of acquiring Simple. The total purchase price was approximately £240 million including the acquisition of Simple’s issued and outstanding shares and the retirement of all of its debt, and the transaction was funded from the Company’s existing cash.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of earnings of the Company and Simple for the year ended September 30, 2009 reflects the historical operations of the Company and Simple as if the transaction had occurred on October 1, 2008. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet of the Company and Simple as of September 30, 2009 reflects the historical balance sheets of the Company and Simple and the effects of the acquisition as though it had occurred on that date.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of earnings for the year ended September 30, 2009 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended September 30, 2009 and Simple’s unaudited consolidated profit and loss account for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2009. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet and Simple’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009.

Simple’s historical consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“U.K. GAAP”) and in British pounds and have been adjusted, for purposes of preparing the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements, to be in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and stated in U.S. dollars. The currency conversion for Simple’s unaudited consolidated profit and loss account for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2009 is based on the average exchange rates over the period, while the currency conversion for Simple’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 is based on that date’s spot exchange rate. Additionally, certain line items reported by Simple on its historical financial statements have been reclassified and are presented to conform to the method of presentation utilized by the Company.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements include the effect of the preliminary purchase price allocation. The purchase price allocation will be completed upon the finalization of the detailed analyses and third-party valuations that management utilizes to make the fair value estimates. Any final adjustments may change the allocation of purchase price which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a change to the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements.

For purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet, the purchase price for the acquisition of Simple was estimated using the September 30, 2009 spot exchange rate for the British pound to U.S. dollar translation. The actual U.S. dollar value of the amount paid at the December 18, 2009 closing date was $6.5 million less than the amount included in the pro forma balance sheet based on the September 30, 2009 spot rate.

The pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial statements of the Company and Simple to arrive at the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable; however, such adjustments are subject to change. In addition, such adjustments are estimates and may not prove to be accurate.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of earnings does not reflect any one-time charges or changes in certain costs expected to result from the acquisition. These items have been excluded from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of earnings in accordance with Regulation S-X. The estimated one-time charges that have been excluded from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of earnings for the year ended September 30, 2009 include transaction expenses incurred by the Company of $6.1 million, as well as transaction expenses incurred by Simple prior to the closing date of the acquisition of $1.8 million. In addition, the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be achieved with respect to the combined companies.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect what the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated and are not indicative of the Company’s future financial position and future results of operations.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes, as well as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 and Simple’s historical financial statements and notes thereto included in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

(3) Represents a pro forma adjustment to eliminate Simple’s interest expense, as all of Simple’s outstanding debt was retired in connection with the acquisition. This adjustment is partially offset by a reduction of the Company’s and Simple’s interest income, based on the assumption that the acquisition price was paid by the Company on October 1, 2008 and Simple used a portion of its existing cash to retire debt on October 1, 2008, which would have reduced cash available for investment during the year.
