HERBALIFE LTD.
(FORMERLY WH HOLDINGS (CAYMAN ISLANDS) LTD.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND RECAPITALIZATION
Organization
HERBALIFE LTD. (Formerly WH Holdings (Cayman Islands) Ltd.), a Cayman Islands exempted limited liability company (Herbalife), incorporated on April 4, 2002, and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, WH Intermediate Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (WH Intermediate), WH Luxembourg Holdings S.à.R.L., a Luxembourg unipersonal limited liability company (Lux Holdings), WH Luxembourg CM S.à.R.L., a Luxembourg unipersonal limited liability company, and WH Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (WH Acquisition), were formed on behalf of Whitney & Co., LLC (Whitney) and Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc. (Golden Gate), in order to acquire Herbalife International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (Herbalife International) on July 31, 2002 (the Acquisition). Herbalife and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively herein as the Company.
Recapitalization
On October 1, 2004, Herbalife filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in connection with an initial public offering (the IPO). Herbalife plans to change its name to Herbalife Ltd. prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. Herbalife is offering its common shares as part of a series of recapitalization transactions that it anticipates closing in connection with the consummation of the IPO as follows:
a tender offer for any and all of Herbalife Internationals outstanding 11¾% senior subordinated notes due 2010, which are referred to as the 11¾% Notes, and related consent solicitation to amend the indenture governing the 11¾% Notes;
the redemption of 40% of its outstanding 9 1/2% notes due 2011, which are referred to as the 9 1/2% Notes;
the replacement of Herbalife Internationals existing $205.0 million senior credit facility with a new $225.0 million senior credit facility;
the payment of a $109.3 million special cash dividend to the current shareholders of Herbalife subject to upward adjustment in the event the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option with respect to the IPO. The new purchasers of Herbalifes common shares in the IPO will not be entitled to participate in this special cash dividend; and
the amendment of Herbalifes amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to: (1) effect a 1:2 reverse stock split of Herbalifes common shares; (2) increase Herbalifes authorized common shares to 500 million shares; and (3) increase Herbalifes authorized preference shares to 7.5 million shares all of which took effect on December 1, 2004.
The closing of the IPO is conditioned upon the closing of Herbalife Internationals new senior credit facility and the receipt by Herbalife International of tenders from holders of at least a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 11¾% Notes.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim financial information of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of the SECs Regulation S-X. Accordingly, it does not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Companys financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 include Herbalife and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys financial statements as of September 30, 2004 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.
All common stock and earnings per share data gives effect to a 1:2 reverse stock split which took effect December 1, 2004.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period financial statements to conform to current period presentation.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Company has entered into agreements with Whitney & Co., LLC (Whitney) and Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc. (Golden Gate) to pay monitoring fees for their management and other services and to pay certain other expenses. Under the monitoring fee agreements, the Company is obligated to pay an annual aggregate amount of up to $5.0 million, but not less than $2.5 million, to Whitney and Golden Gate, for an initial period of ten years subject to the provisions in Herbalife Internationals amended and restated credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004, the Company expensed monitoring fees in the amount of $1.3 million and other expenses of $0.4 million for both periods. For the nine months ended September 23, 2003, and September 30, 2004, the Company expensed monitoring fees in the amount of $3.8 million for both periods and other expenses of $3.4 million and $1.4 million,
7
respectively. As of September 30, 2004, Whitney affiliated companies held $4.8 million of the outstanding term loan balance under the Credit Agreement and senior executives of Whitney held $1.0 million of the 11¾% Notes. Also, in March 2004, Herbalife redeemed $17.4 million of the 15 1/2% Senior Notes due 2011 held by certain Whitney affiliated companies and paid an additional $5.0 million repurchase premium and $0.5 million in accrued interest.
Whitney and Golden Gate (and/or their affiliates) were and are parties to a Share Purchase Agreement (the Share Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which they originally purchased the Herbalifes Shares. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Whitney and Golden Gate can, subject to approval by Herbalifes board of directors and 75% of its shareholders, require Herbalife to pay a dividend to all of its shareholders related to certain income that may be taxable to them resulting from their ownership of Herbalifes shares. The Company has recently completed its analysis with regard to this potential payment and based on this analysis, Herbalife may be required to make a $1.4 million payment to its shareholders related to certain income that may be taxable to them for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, Herbalife may be required to make a payment to its shareholders related to certain income that may be taxable to them for the year ended December 31, 2004. Herbalife has not yet determined the final amount, if any, that could be payable in connection with the 2004 taxes although the initial estimate is approximately $4.9 million. Both amounts would become distributable to the shareholders if and when the board of directors and 75% of Herbalife shareholders approve the payment of these amounts. As of the date of this filing, Herbalifes board of directors has not made a determination to make these distributions. If and when such a determination is made, these amounts will be recorded as dividends.

In March 2004, the Company and its lenders amended the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company made a prepayment of $40.0 million to reduce outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement. In connection with this prepayment, the lenders under the Credit Agreement waived the March 31, 2004 mandatory amortization payment of $6.5 million along with a mandatory 50% excess cash flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2003. The amendment also lowered the interest rate to LIBOR plus a 2.5% margin, increased the capital spending allowance under the Credit Agreement and permitted the Company to complete a recapitalization. The schedule of the principal payments was also modified so that the Company was obligated to pay approximately $4.4 million on March 31, 2004 and in each subsequent quarter through June 30, 2008.
In March 2004, Herbalife and its wholly-owned subsidiary WH Capital Corporation completed a $275.0 million offering of 9 1/2% Notes due 2011. The proceeds of the offering together with available cash were used to pay the original issue price in cash due upon conversion of 104.1 million outstanding Herbalife 12% Series A Cumulative Convertible preferred shares including 2.0 million warrants exercised as described below, to pay all accrued and unpaid dividends, to redeem Herbalifes 15 1/2% Senior Notes and to pay related fees and expenses. The total price of $52.1 million to redeem the 15 1/2% Senior Notes consisted of $39.6 million aggregate principal amount (excluding $1.7 million of unamortized discount), an $11.4 million purchase premium and $1.1 million of accrued interest from January 1, 2004 up to (but not including) March 8, 2004. At any time after July 31, 2002 and on or before July 15, 2012, warrants issued with the 15 1/2% Senior Notes could be exercised to purchase an equivalent amount of preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The number of warrants outstanding after July 31, 2002 and exercised on March 8, 2004 to purchase an equivalent amount of preferred shares was 2,040,816. The proceeds of the 9 1/2% Notes were used in part to redeem and convert these preferred shares into common shares. Interest on the 9 1/2% Notes will be paid in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, starting October 1, 2004. The 9 1/2% Notes are Herbalifes general unsecured obligations, ranking equally with any of the existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all of Herbalifes future subordinated indebtedness. Also, the 9 1/2% Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Herbalifes subsidiaries.
5. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is from time to time engaged in routine litigation. The Company regularly reviews all pending litigation matters in which it is involved and establishes reserves deemed appropriate by management for these litigation matters when a probable loss estimate can be made.
8
Herbalife International was a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of California (Jacobs v. Herbalife International, Inc., et al) originally filed on February 19, 2002 challenging marketing practices of several distributors and Herbalife International under various state and federal laws. The plaintiffs alleged that Newest Way to Wealth (NWTW) system operated by certain independent distributors of Herbalife products placed too much emphasis on recruiting and encouraged excessively large purchases of product and promotional materials by distributors. The plaintiffs also alleged that NWTW pressured distributors to disseminate promotional materials which were misleading in the way they described both the income that could be generated through use of the NWTW system as well as in the way they described the Herbalife business opportunity. In addition, the plaintiffs alleged that NWTW violated certain state laws prohibiting racketeering, endless chain schemes, insufficient disclosure in assisted marketing plans, and unfair and deceptive business practices. The plaintiffs sought to hold Herbalife International vicariously liable for the actions of these independent distributors. Without in any way admitting liability or wrongdoing, the Company has reached a binding settlement with the plaintiffs. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company (i) paid $3 million into a fund to be distributed to former Supervisor-level distributors who had purchased NWTW materials from the other defendants in this matter, (ii) will pay up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1 million, refund to former Supervisor-level distributors the amounts they had paid to purchase such NWTW materials from the other defendants in this matter, and (iii) will offer rebates up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2 million, on certain new purchases of Herbalife products to those current Supervisor-level distributors who had purchased NWTW materials from the other defendants in this matter. As of December 31, 2003, these amounts were adequately reserved for in the Companys financial statements.
Herbalife International and certain of its distributors have been named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit filed July 16, 2003 in the Circuit Court of Ohio County in the State of West Virginia (Mey v. Herbalife International, Inc., et al). Herbalife International had removed the lawsuit to federal court and the court has recently remanded the lawsuit to state court. The complaint alleges that certain telemarketing practices of certain Herbalife International distributors violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and seeks to hold Herbalife International liable for the practices of its distributors. More specifically, the plaintiffs complaint alleges that several of Herbalifes distributors used pre-recorded telephone messages and autodialers to contact prospective customers in violation of the TCPAs prohibition of such practices. Herbalifes distributors are independent contractors and, if any such distributors in fact violated the TCPA, they also violated Herbalifes policies, which require its distributors to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the suit.
As a marketer of dietary and nutritional supplements and other products that are ingested by consumers or applied to their bodies, the Company has been subjected to various product liability claims. The effects of these claims to date have not been material to the Company, and the reasonably possible range of exposure on currently existing claims is not material. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations contained in the lawsuits. The Company currently maintains product liability insurance with an annual deductible of $10.0 million.
Certain of the Companys subsidiaries have been subjected to tax audits by governmental authorities in their respective countries. In certain of these tax audits, governmental authorities are proposing that significant amounts of additional taxes and related interest and penalties are due. The aggregate amount of assessed taxes, penalties and interest to date is approximately $34.0 million. The Company and its tax advisors believe that there are meritorious defenses to the allegations that additional taxes are owing, and the Company is vigorously contesting the additional proposed taxes and related charges.
These matters may take several years to resolve, and the Company cannot be sure of their ultimate resolution. However, it is the opinion of management that adverse outcomes, if any, will not likely result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results. This opinion is based on our belief that any losses we suffer in excess of amounts reserved would not be material, and that we have meritorious defenses. Although we have reserved an amount that we believe represents the most likely outcome of the resolution of these disputes, if we are incorrect in our assessment we may have to pay the full amount assessed.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company is a network marketing company that sells a wide range of weight management products, nutritional supplements and personal care products within one reportable segment as defined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Companys products are primarily manufactured by third party providers and then sold to independent distributors who sell Herbalife products to retail consumers or other distributors.
The Company sells products in 59 countries throughout the world and is organized and managed by geographic region. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company elected to aggregate its operating segments into one reporting segment, as management believes that the Companys operating segments have similar operating characteristics and similar long term operating performance. In making this determination, management believes that the operating segments are similar with regard to the nature of the products sold, the product acquisition process, the types of customers products are sold to, the methods used to distribute the products, and the nature of the regulatory environment.
Revenue reflects direct sales of products to distributors based on the distributors geographic location. Sales attributed to the United States are the same as reported in the geographic operating information.

* Non-U.S. royalty checks that have aged, for a variety of reasons, beyond a certainty of being paid, are taken back into income. Management has calculated this period of certainty to be three years worldwide, whereas previously this period varied by country, ranging from 12 months to 30 years. In order to achieve consistency among all countries, the Company adjusted the period over which such amounts would be taken into income to three years on a Company-wide basis. The impact of this change for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is a pretax benefit of approximately $2.4 million.

8. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has two stock based employee compensation plans which are the WH Holdings (Cayman Islands) Ltd. Stock Incentive Plan (The Management Plan) and the WH Holdings (Cayman Islands) Ltd. Independent Directors Stock Incentive Plan (The Independent Directors Plan). The Management Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares of Herbalife to members of the Companys management. The Independent Directors Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares of Herbalife to the Companys independent directors.
The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, issued in March 2000, to account for its stock option plans. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the then current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and vested awards in each period:

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company designates certain derivatives as cash flow hedges. The Company engages in a foreign exchange hedging strategy for which the hedged transactions are forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions. The hedged risk is the variability of the foreign currency where the hedging strategy involves the purchase and sale of average rate options. For the outstanding cash flow hedges on foreign exchange exposures at September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging these exposures is approximately one year. The Company also engages in an interest rate hedging strategy for which the hedged transactions are forecasted interest payments on the variable rate term loan. The hedged risk is the variability of interest rate where the hedging strategy involves the purchase of interest rate caps. There is no ineffective portion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004. For all qualifying and highly effective cash flow hedges, the changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI). At September 30, 2004, the OCI balance was zero.
10. RESTRUCTURING RESERVE
As of the date of the Acquisition, as defined herein, the Company implemented a plan to reduce costs of the business and recorded a severance and restructuring accrual as part of the cost of the Acquisition. The accrued severance is for identified employees including executives, corporate functions and administrative support.
The following table summarizes the activity in the Companys restructuring accrual (in millions):

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On December 1, 2004, the Company agreed in principle with Whitney and Golden Gate to terminate the monitoring fee agreements in consideration for 0.7 million warrants. Each warrant gives the holder the ability to purchase one share of the Companys common shares at a price of $15.50 per share, which represents the midpoint of our current pricing range. This agreement is not contingent on the consummation of this offering and is expected to be finalized prior to this offering. We estimate that the fair value of these warrants, utilizing a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, will approximate $5.0 million.
On December 1, 2004, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved a stock option grant, pursuant to the 2004 Stock Option Agreement, of 1.25 million shares at a strike price of $15.50, the mid-point of our cover price range.

Recapitalization
On October 1, 2004, Herbalife filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in connection with an initial public offering (the IPO). Herbalife plans to change its name to Herbalife Ltd. prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. Herbalife is offering its common shares as part of a series of recapitalization transactions that it anticipates closing in connection with the consummation of the IPO as follows:
a tender offer for any and all of Herbalife Internationals outstanding 11¾% senior subordinated notes due 2010, which are referred to as the 11¾% Notes, and related consent solicitation to amend the indenture governing the 11¾% Notes;
the redemption of 40% of its outstanding 9 1/2% notes due 2011, which are referred to as the 9 1/2% Notes;
the replacement of Herbalife Internationals existing $205.0 million senior credit facility with a new $225.0 million senior credit facility;
the payment of $109.3 million, a special cash dividend to the current shareholders of Herbalife subject to upward adjustment in the event the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option with respect to the IPO. The new purchasers of Herbalifes common shares in the IPO will not be entitled to participate in this special cash dividend; and
the amendment of Herbalifes amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to: (1) effect a 1:2 reverse stock split of Herbalifes common shares; (2) increase Herbalifes authorized common shares to 500 million
17
shares; and (3) increase Herbalifes authorized preference shares to 7.5 million shares all of which took effect on December 1, 2004.
