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.

consolidated companies.

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

</TABLE>

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.

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.

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

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:

W.W. Camps and Spas, Inc.; Weight Watchers Direct, Inc.; W/W Twentyfirst
Corporation; W.W. Weight Reduction Services, Inc.; W.W.I. European

Ltd.; Weight Watchers (Food Products) Limited; Weight Watchers New
Zealand Limited; Weight Watchers International Pty Limited; Fortuity Pty
Ltd.; and Gutbusters Pty Ltd. (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. The elimination entries eliminate investments in
subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

ITEM 2. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
