The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. 8 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 7 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. GENERAL The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Weight Watchers International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10K for the eight month period ended December 30, 2000. 2. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR The Company changed its fiscal year end from the last Saturday of April, to the Saturday closest to December 31st effective with the eight month period commencing April 30, 2000. In the prior periods, in order to facilitate timely reporting, certain foreign subsidiaries ended their fiscal period one month prior to the Company's fiscal period with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Effective April 30, 2000, the one month lag has been eliminated. 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 and 142, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), respectively. SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. SFAS 142 specifies that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will be subject to annual impairment testing. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 on December 30, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standards will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 4. ACQUISITION On January 16, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Weight Watchers' franchised territories and certain business assets of Weighco Enterprises, Inc., Weighco of Northeast, Inc., and Weighco of Southwest, Inc. ("Weighco"), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $83.8 million plus acquisition costs of approximately $.6 million. The acquisition was financed through additional borrowings of $60 million obtained pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated January 16, 2001, and cash from operations. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in the financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Assets acquired include inventory ($2.0 million) and property and equipment ($1.8 million). The excess of investment over the net book value of assets acquired at the date of acquisition resulted in goodwill of $80.6 million which will be amortized over 20 years. 9 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

5. RECAPITALIZATION On September 29, 1999, the Company effected a recapitalization and stock purchase agreement (the "Transaction") with its former parent, H.J. Heinz Company ("Heinz"). The Company redeemed shares of common stock from Heinz for $349.5 million. The $349.5 million consisted of $324.5 million of cash and $25.0 million of the Company's redeemable Series A Preferred Stock. After the redemption, Artal Luxembourg S.A. purchased 94% of the Company's remaining common stock from Heinz for $223.7 million. The recapitalization and stock purchase was financed through borrowings under credit facilities amounting to approximately $237.0 million and by issuing Senior Subordinated Notes amounting to $255.0 million, due 2009. The balance of the borrowings was utilized to refinance debt incurred prior to the Transaction relating to the transfer of ownership and acquisition of the minority interest in the Weight Watchers businesses that operate in Australia and New Zealand. The acquisition of the minority interest resulted in approximately $15.9 million of goodwill. In connection with the Transaction, the Company incurred approximately $8.3 million in transaction costs and $15.9 million in deferred financing costs. For U.S. Federal and State tax purposes, the Transaction is being treated as a taxable sale under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. As a result, for tax purposes, the Company recorded a step-up in the tax basis of net assets. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of approximately $72.1 million was established against the corresponding deferred tax asset of $144.2 million. Management concluded, more likely than not, that the valuation allowance would not be utilized to reduce future tax payments. The Company will continue to monitor the need to maintain the valuation allowance in the future periods. 6. TREASURY STOCK On April 18, 2001, the Company entered into a Put/Call Agreement with Heinz, pursuant to which Heinz acquired the right and option to sell during the period ending on or before May 15, 2002, and the Company acquired the right and option to purchase after that date and on or before August 15, 2002, 1,428,000 shares of the common stock of the Company currently owned by Heinz. In the event all of the Put and Call options are exercised, the value of the transaction will approximate $27.1 million, plus related costs. 10 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 9 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On April 30, 2001, Heinz exercised its option to sell 670,000 shares for approximately $12.7 million, which was funded with cash from operations. By Put Notice dated July 19, 2001, Heinz notified the Company of its intention to exercise its option to sell an additional 650,000 shares for approximately $12.4 million effective August 15, 2001. The Company intends to fund this transaction with cash from operations. The Company will fund any future transactions with cash from operations and, if needed, its existing credit facilities pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2001, as amended, among Weight Watchers International, Inc., WW Funding Corp., Various Financial Institutions, as the Lenders, Credit Suisse First Boston, BHF (USA) Capital Corporation, and The Bank of Nova Scotia. 7. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income for the Company includes net income, the effects of foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. Comprehensive income is as follows:

8. LONG-TERM DEBT In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a credit facility ("Credit Facility") with The Bank of Nova Scotia, Credit Suisse First Boston and certain other lenders providing (i) a $75.0 million term loan A facility ("Term Loan A"), (ii) a $75.0 million term loan B facility ("Term Loan B"), (iii) an $87.0 million transferable loan certificate ("TLC") and (iv) a revolving credit facility with borrowings up to $30.0 million ("Revolving Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility was amended and restated on January 16, 2001 to provide for an additional $50 million in borrowings in connection with the acquisition of Weighco (see Note 4) as follows: (i) Term Loan A was increased by $15.0 million, (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility was increased by $15.0 million to $45.0 million and (iii) a new $20.0 million term loan D facility ("Term Loan D"). Borrowings under the Credit Facility are paid quarterly and initially bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus (a) in the case of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility, 3.25% or, at the Company's option, the alternate base rate, as defined, plus 2.25%, (b) in the case of Term Loan B and the TLC, 4.00% or, at the Company's option, the alternate base rate plus 3.00% and (c) in the case of Term Loan D, 3.25% or, at the Company's option, the alternate base rate plus 2.25%. At June 30, 2001, the interest rates were 11 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 10 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.58% for Term Loan A, 8.80% for Term Loan B, 8.02% for the TLC and 8.7% for Term Loan D. All assets of the Company collateralize the Credit Facility. In addition, as part of the Transaction, the Company issued $150.0 million USD denominated and 100.0 million EUR denominated principal amount of 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Notes") to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2001, the 100.0 million EUR notes translated into $85.0 million USD denominated equivalent. The impact of the change in foreign exchange rates related to euro denominated debt are reflected in the income statement. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2000. The Company uses interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts in association with its debt. The Notes are uncollateralized senior subordinated obligations of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, including the Credit Facility. The notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company's ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict the Company's corporate activities. In addition, under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including minimum fixed charge coverage and interest coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios. 9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Effective December 31, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and its related amendment, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). These standards require that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives will be recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive loss, depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. As of December 31, 2000, the adoption of these new standards resulted in an adjustment of $5.1 million to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company enters into forward and swap contracts to hedge certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies in order to reduce the currency risk associated with fluctuating exchange rates. Such contracts are used primarily to hedge certain intercompany cash flows and for payments arising from certain foreign denominated obligations. In addition, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge a substantial portion of its variable rate debt which are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2001, losses of $0.5 million for effective hedges, were reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges was not material. In addition, fair value adjustments for non-qualifying hedges resulted in a reduction of net income of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company does not anticipate any reclassification to earnings from accumulated other comprehensive loss within the next twelve months. 12 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 11 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. WEIGHTWATCHERS.COM NOTE AND WARRANT AGREEMENTS On May 3, 2001, the Company amended and restated its loan agreement with WeightWatchers.com increasing the aggregate principal amount from $23.5 million to $28.5 million. The principal amount may be advanced at any time or from time to time prior to July 31, 2003. The note bears interest at 13% per year. All principal and interest outstanding under the note is payable on September 30, 2003. The note may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. During the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company advanced WeightWatchers.com $2.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, pursuant to the note. In addition to the advance, $.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of interest, were classified in other expenses, net during the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2001 the balance outstanding under the loan agreement was $24.6 million. Under Warrant Agreements dated November 24, 1999, October 1, 2000 and May 3, 2001, each agreement entered into between WeightWatchers.com and the Company, the Company received warrants to purchase 5,861,664 shares of WeightWatchers.com's common stock in connection with the loans that the Company has made to WeightWatchers.com under the WeightWatchers.com Note described above. These warrants will expire on November 24, 2009, October 1, 2010 and May 2, 2011, respectively and may be exercised at a price of $7.14 per warrant share. The exercise price and the number of shares of WeightWatchers.com's common stock available for purchase upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted from time to time upon the occurrence of certain described events. 11. LEGAL The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings. The Company has had and continues to have disputes with the Company's franchisees regarding, among other things, operations and revenue sharing, including the interpretation of franchise territories as they relate to new media. In addition, due to the nature of its activities, the Company is, at times, subject to pending and threatened legal actions that arise out of the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of all such matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company. 12. INCOME TAXES As a result of the Transaction, the Company has provided for a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. The determination of the net deferred tax assets deemed realizable was based on available historical evidence, and estimates of future taxable income. This amount may be subject to adjustment based on changes to those factors in future periods. The primary differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate are the valuation allowance and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2001 were 38.9% and 36.6%, respectively. 13. GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES The Company's payment obligations under the Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: 13 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 12 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 58 WW Food Corp.; Waist Watchers, Inc.; Weight Watchers Camps, Inc.; W.W.

(collectively, the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary under its guarantee of the Notes are subordinated to such subsidiary's obligations under its guarantee of the new senior credit facility. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for Weight Watchers International, Inc. ("Parent Company"), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (primarily companies incorporated in European countries other than the United Kingdom). In the Company's opinion, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries would not provide additional information that is material to investors. Therefore, the Guarantor Subsidiaries are combined in the presentation below. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent Company on the equity method of accounting. Earnings of subsidiaries are, therefore, reflected in the Parent Company's investments in subsidiaries' accounts.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 29, 2000 In the opinion of management the comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2001 to the three months ended July 29, 2000 most closely reflects the Company's performance. Revenues for the quarter increased 57.5% or $59.3 million, to $162.3 million. Of the $59.3 million increase, $31.3 million was attributable to domestic Company-owned classroom meeting fees, $20.1 million from product sales, $5.7 million from foreign Company-owned classroom meeting fees, $1.6 million from licensing, publications, and other royalties, and $0.6 million from franchise revenues. Domestic Company-owned classroom meeting fee revenues were $70.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $31.3 million from $38.7 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. The Weighco acquisition accounted for $18.0 million of the total increase. Foreign Company-owned classroom meeting fee revenues were $38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $5.7 million from $33.0 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. The increase in domestic and foreign Company-owned classroom meeting fees was the result of increased member attendance, offset by negative exchange rate variances. Product revenues were $42.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $20.1 million from $22.8 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. The increase in product revenues was primarily the result of increased member attendance and the Company's strategy to focus sales efforts on core classroom products. Domestic and international franchise revenues were $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $0.6 million from $7.0 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. Domestic and international franchise revenues excluding Weighco increased 33.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in member attendance, offset by negative exchange rate variances. Gross profit margins for the quarter increased to 55.8% from 53.1% in the prior period. The increase in gross profit margins was due to higher margins generated by product sales, improved operating efficiencies, and an increase in attendance per meeting. Marketing expenses were $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $6.8 million or 101.7% from $6.7 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. The increase in marketing was primarily the result of additional advertising to promote the new program innovations and timing differences related to the Company's shift in fiscal calendars. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $6.4 million from $11.5 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative costs decreased from 11.1% for the three months ended July 29, 2000 to 11.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. As a result of the above, operating income was $59.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $22.7 million or 61.9% from $36.6 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. The Weighco acquisition accounted for $9.2 million of the total increase in operating income. 23 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 22 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 29, 2000 In the opinion of management the comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2001 to the six months ended July 29, 2000 most closely reflects the Company's performance. Revenues for the six months increased 41.7% or $98.3 million, to $334.3 million. Of the $98.3 million increase, $51.5 million was attributable to domestic Company-owned classroom meeting fees, $35.7 million from product sales, $7.7 million from foreign Company-owned classroom meeting fees, $2.6 million from licensing, publications, and other royalties, and $0.8 million from franchise revenues. Domestic Company-owned classroom meeting fee revenues were $134.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $51.5 million from $82.7 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. The Weighco acquisition accounted for $32.8 million of the total increase. Foreign Company-owned classroom meeting fee revenues were $85.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $7.7 million from $78.2 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. The increase in domestic and foreign Company-owned classroom meeting fees was the result of increased member attendance, the roll-out of new program innovations and price increases in select markets offset by negative exchange rate variances. Product revenues were $92.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $35.7 million from $57.0 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. The increase in product revenues was primarily the result of increased member attendance and the Company's strategy to focus sales efforts on core classroom products. Domestic and international franchise revenues were $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $0.8 million from $15.1 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. Domestic and international franchise revenues excluding Weighco increased 24.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in member attendance and product sales, offset by negative exchange rate variances. Gross profit margins for the six months increased to 55.4% from 52.9% in the prior period. The increase in gross profit margins was due to price increases in selected markets, improved operating efficiencies, higher margins generated by product sales and an increase in attendance per meeting. Marketing expenses were $40.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $15.3 million or 60.4% from $25.3 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. The increase in marketing was primarily the result of additional advertising to promote the new program innovations and timing differences related to the Company's shift in fiscal calendars. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $35.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $6.8 million from $28.7 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative costs decreased from 12.2% for the six months ended July 29, 2000 to 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. As a result of the above, operating income was $109.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $38.4 million or 54.2% from $70.7 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. The Weighco acquisition accounted for $16.2 million of the total increase in operating income. 24 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 23 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's primary source of funds to meet working capital needs was cash from operations. Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cash flows provided by operating and financing activities of $92.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, funded net cash flows used for investing activities of $94.9 million. On January 16, 2001, the Company acquired franchised territories and certain business assets, including inventory and property and equipment, of Weighco for $83.8 million. The acquisition was financed with available cash of $23.8 million and additional borrowings of $60.0 million. On April 30, 2001, Heinz exercised its option to sell 670,000 shares for $12.7 million, which was funded with cash from operations. During the quarter, in addition to the scheduled debt payments, the Company paid down $10 million on the Term loans from cash generated through operations. Capital spending has averaged approximately $2.7 million annually over the last three years and has consisted primarily of leasehold improvements for meeting locations and administrative offices, computer equipment for field staff and call centers, and Year 2000 upgrades. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $1.2 million. The Company is significantly leveraged. As of June 30, 2001, there was outstanding $478.7 million in aggregate indebtedness, with approximately $45.0 million of additional borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility. As a result of the Transaction, the Company's liquidity requirements are significantly increased primarily due to increased debt service obligations. The Company believes that cash flows from operating activities, together with borrowings available under the revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated capital investment requirements, debt service requirements and working capital requirements. In addition, the Company has 1.0 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 6% payable annually in arrears.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - adverse results in litigation and regulatory matters, the adoption of adverse legislation or regulations, more aggressive enforcement of existing legislation or regulations or a change in the interpretation of existing legislation or regulations. 26 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 25 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate changes. Its exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the fair value of long-term fixed rate debt and interest expense of variable rate debt. The Company has historically managed interest rates through the use of, and its long-term debt is currently composed of, a combination of fixed and variable rate borrowings. Generally, the fair market value of fixed rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Based on the overall interest rate exposure on the Company's fixed rate borrowings at June 30, 2001, a 10% change in market interest rates would have less than a 5% impact on the fair value of the Company's long-term debt. Other than intercompany transactions between its domestic and foreign entities and the portion of the notes which are denominated in euro dollars, the Company generally does not have significant transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency applicable to each entity. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may also impact its stockholders' deficit. The assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders' deficit as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, fluctuations in the value of the euro will cause the U.S. dollar translated amounts to change in comparison to prior periods and may impact interest expense. Furthermore, the Company translates the outstanding euro notes at the end of each period into U.S. dollars, and the resulting change will be reflected in the income statement of the corresponding period. Each of its subsidiaries derives revenues and incurs expenses primarily within a single country, and consequently, does not generally incur currency risks in connection with the conduct of normal business operations. The Company maintains foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the euro and pounds sterling to more properly align the underlying sources of cash flow with debt servicing requirements. At June 30, 2001, the Company had long-term foreign currency forward contracts receivable with notional amounts of USD 44.0 million and EUR 76.0 million offset by foreign currency forward contracts payable with notional amounts of GBP 59.2 million and USD 21.9 million. The Company's ability to fund capital investment requirements, interest, principal and dividend payment obligations and working capital requirements and to comply with all of the financial covenants under its debt agreements depends on the Company's future operations, performance and cash flow. These are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond its control. 27 WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
