NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

Herbalife Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited liability company, or Herbalife, was incorporated on April 4, 2002. Herbalife Ltd. (and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading global network marketing company that sells weight management, nutritional supplements, energy, sports & fitness products and personal care products through a network of approximately 2.3 million independent distributors, except in China, where the Company currently sells its products through retail stores, sales representatives, sales employees and licensed business providers. The Company reports revenue in six geographic regions: North America; Mexico; South and Central America; EMEA, which consists of Europe, the Middle East and Africa; Asia Pacific (excluding China); and China.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim financial information of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or the SEC, Regulation S-X. Accordingly, it does not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP, for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, or the 2010 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

On April 28, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved a two-for-one stock split, or the stock split, of the Company’s common shares. One additional common share was distributed to the Company’s shareholders on or around May 17, 2011, for each common share held on May 10, 2011. All references in the financial statements and notes to number of shares and per share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the stock split.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU will require companies to present the components of net and comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements and eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and provides additional information on how to measure fair value. The Company is required to apply this ASU prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Change in Accounting Principle

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company changed its method of accounting for excess tax benefits recognized as a result of the exercise of employee stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, and other share-based equity grants, from the tax-law-ordering method to the with-and-without method. Under the tax law ordering method, the deduction for share-based compensation is applied against income tax liabilities before other credits are applied, such as foreign tax credits. The with-and-without method applies the deduction for share-based compensation against taxable income after other credits have been applied against taxable income, to the extent allowable and subject to applicable limitations. The with-and-without method separately determines the impact of the tax benefit from share-based compensation after considering the tax effects related to the Company’s on-going operations. A benefit is recorded when deductions for share-based compensation reduce taxes payable or increase tax refund receivable. The Company believes that the with-and-without method is a preferable method of determining the benefit applicable to share-based compensation because it better reflects the Company’s ongoing operations. This change in accounting method primarily impacts the allocation of income taxes and tax benefits between continuing operations, deferred tax items, and additional paid in capital for financial reporting purposes, but it does not have any impact on the ultimate amount of income tax reported on the Company’s income tax returns and it does not impact the Company’s income taxes payable included within its accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This change in accounting principle does not impact the consolidated financial statements related to fiscal years prior to 2010.

This change in accounting principle is applied to all periods presented and the following tables summarize the impact of this change on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and as applicable, to the notes to the consolidated financial statements:

Venezuela

In February 2011, Herbalife Venezuela purchased U.S. dollar denominated bonds with a face value of $20 million U.S. dollars in a bond offering from Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., a Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company, for 86 million Bolivars and then immediately sold the bonds for $15 million U.S. dollars, resulting in an average effective conversion rate of 5.7 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. The 86 million Bolivars were previously remeasured at the regulated system rate, or SITME rate, of 5.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar and recorded as cash and cash equivalents of $16.3 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010. This Bolivar to U.S. dollar conversion resulted in the Company recording a net pre-tax loss of $1.3 million U.S. dollars during the first quarter of 2011 which is included in its condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, Herbalife Venezuela’s net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Bolivars was approximately $13.7 million, and included approximately $20.0 million in Bolivar denominated cash and cash equivalents. The majority of these Bolivar denominated assets and liabilities were remeasured at the SITME rate. Although Venezuela is an important market in the Company’s South and Central America Region, Herbalife Venezuela’s net sales represented less than 2% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and its total assets represented less than 3% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

See the Company’s 2010 10-K for further information on Herbalife Venezuela and Venezuela’s highly inflationary economy.

3. Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of finished goods available for resale and the following are the major classes of inventory:


	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
	(In millions)
Raw materials	$	21.0	$	13.7
Work in process		1.2		0.6
Finished goods		196.8		168.2

Total	$	219.0	$	182.5

Total inventories are presented net of the reserves for obsolete and slow moving inventory of $10.8 million and $9.4 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

4. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:


	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
	(In millions)
Borrowings under the prior senior secured credit facility	$	—	$	174.9
Borrowings under the new senior secured revolving credit facility		158.0		—
Capital leases		2.2		2.9
Other debt		0.4		0.3

Total		160.6		178.1
Less: current portion		1.8		3.1

Long-term portion	$	158.8	$	175.0

Interest expense was $3.1 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $6.4 million and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included a $0.9 million write—off of unamortized deferred financing costs resulting from the extinguishment of the prior senior secured credit facility, or the Prior Credit Facility, as discussed below.

On March 9, 2011, the Company entered into a $700.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or the New Credit Facility, with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and terminated its Prior Credit Facility, that consisted of a term loan and a revolving credit facility. The New Credit Facility has a five year maturity and expires on March 9, 2016. During March 2011, U.S. dollar borrowings under the New Credit Facility incurred interest at the base rate plus a margin of 0.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. After March 2011, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, U.S. dollar borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest at either LIBOR plus the applicable margin between 1.50% and 2.50% or the base rate plus the applicable margin between 0.50% and 1.50%. The Company, based on its consolidated leverage ratio, pays a commitment fee between 0.25% and 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility also permits the Company to borrow limited amounts in Mexican Peso and Euro currencies based on variable rates. The base rate under the New Credit Facility represents the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, and the prime rate offered by Bank of America.

In March 2011, the Company used $196.0 million in U.S. dollar borrowings under the New Credit Facility to repay all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility. The Company incurred approximately $5.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the New Credit Facility. These debt issuance costs were recorded as deferred financing costs on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the term of the New Credit Facility. On June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the New Credit Facility and the Prior Credit Facility was 1.97% and 1.75%, respectively.

The New Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. In addition, the New Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments, pay dividends, repurchase its common shares, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was compliant with its debt covenants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company borrowed $235.7 million and $54.0 million under the New Credit Facility and Prior Credit Facility, respectively, and paid a total of $55.7 million and $228.9 million of the New Credit Facility and Prior Credit Facility, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company borrowed $101.0 million under the New Credit Facility and paid a total of $123.0 million of the New Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, the U.S. dollar amount outstanding under the New Credit Facility was $158.0 million. There were no outstanding foreign currency borrowings as of June 30, 2011 under the New Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2010, the amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility, consisting of a term loan and revolving facility, were $143.9 million and $31.0 million, respectively.

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.

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 and is currently 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 to the Company. 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 million.

On April 16, 2007, Herbalife International of America, Inc. filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain former Herbalife distributors who had left the Company to join a competitor. The Complaint alleged breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, intentional interference with contract, unfair competition, constructive trust and fraud and seeks monetary damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief (Herbalife International of America, Inc. v. Robert E. Ford, et al). The court entered a Preliminary Injunction against the defendants enjoining them from further use and/or misappropriation of the Company’s trade secrets on December 11, 2007. Defendants appealed the court’s entry of the Preliminary Injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. That court affirmed, in relevant part, the Preliminary Injunction. On December 3, 2007, the defendants filed a counterclaim alleging that the Company had engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices, intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, false advertising and that the Company was an endless chain scheme in violation of California law and seeking restitution, contract rescission and an injunction. Both sides engaged in discovery and filed cross motions for Summary Judgment. On August 25, 2009, the court granted partial summary judgment for Herbalife on all of defendants’ claims except the claim that the Company is an endless chain scheme which under applicable law is a question of fact that can only be determined at trial. The court denied defendants’ motion for Summary Judgment on Herbalife’s claims for misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract. On May 5, 2010, the District Court granted summary judgment for Herbalife on defendants’ endless chain-scheme counterclaim. Herbalife voluntarily dismissed its remaining claims, and on May 14, 2010, the District Court issued a final judgment dismissing all of the parties’ claims. On June 10, 2010 the defendants appealed that judgment and on June 21, 2010, Herbalife cross-appealed. The parties entered a joint stipulation of dismissal with the Court on May 24, 2011.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have been subject 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 Company and its tax advisors believe that there are substantial defenses to their allegations that additional taxes are owed, and the Company is vigorously contesting the additional proposed taxes and related charges. On May 7, 2010, the Company received an assessment from the Mexican Tax Administration Service in an amount equivalent to approximately $97 million, translated at the period ended spot rate, for various items, the majority of which was Value Added Tax, or VAT, allegedly owed on certain of the Company’s products imported into Mexico during the years 2005 and 2006. This assessment is subject to interest and inflationary adjustments. On July 8, 2010, the Company initiated a formal administrative appeal process. On May 13, 2011, the Mexican Tax Administration Service issued a resolution on the Company’s administrative appeal. The resolution nullified the assessment. The Mexican Tax Administration Service can further review the tax audit findings and re-issue some or all of the original assessment. Prior to the nullification the Company entered into agreements with certain insurance companies to allow for the potential issuance of surety bonds in support of its appeal of the assessment. Such surety bonds, if issued, would not affect the availability of the Company’s New Credit Facility. These arrangements with the insurance companies remain in place in the event that the assessment is re-issued. The Company did not record a provision as the Company, based on analysis and guidance from its advisors, does not believe a loss would be probable if the assessment is re-issued or if any additional assessment is issued. Further, the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome if the assessment was re-issued or any additional assessments were to be issued for these or other periods. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses if the assessment is re-issued or would have meritorious defenses if any additional assessment is issued.

These matters may take several years to resolve. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, it cannot be sure of their ultimate resolution. Although the Company has reserved amounts for certain matters that the Company believes represent the most likely outcome of the resolution of these related disputes, if the Company is incorrect in the assessment, the Company may have to record additional expenses, when it becomes probable that an increased potential liability is warranted.

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 industry segment as defined under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s products are manufactured by third party providers and by the Company in its Suzhou, China facility and in its manufacturing facility located in Lake Forest, California, and are then sold to independent distributors who sell Herbalife products to retail consumers or other distributors. Revenues reflect sales of products by the Company to distributors and are categorized based on the distributors’ geographic location.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company sold products in 75 countries throughout the world and is organized and managed by geographic regions. The Company aggregates its operating segments, excluding China, into one reporting segment, or the Primary Reporting Segment, as management believes that the Company’s operating segments have similar operating characteristics and similar long term operating performance. In making this determination, management believes that the operating segments are similar in the nature of the products sold, the product acquisition process, the types of customers to whom products are sold, the methods used to distribute the products, and the nature of the regulatory environment. China has been identified as a separate reporting segment as it does not meet the criteria for aggregation. The operating information for the Primary Reporting Segment and China, and sales by product line are as follows:

8. Share-Based Compensation

The Company has share-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 9, Share-based Compensation, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 10-K. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted stock awards subject to continued service, consisting of stock units and stock appreciation rights, with vesting terms fully described in the 2010 10-K.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, share-based compensation expense amounted to $5.5 million for both periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, share-based compensation expense amounted to $11.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested stock awards was $46.4 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.7 years.

All share and per share data have been adjusted for the two-for-one stock split discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables summarize the activity under all share-based compensation plans for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock awards granted during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $21.01 and $10.99, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $21.01 and $10.82, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock awards exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, was $47.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock awards exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, was $64.0 million and $13.4 million, respectively.

The Company recognizes excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation to shareholders’ equity only when realized. When assessing whether excess tax benefits relating to share-based compensation have been realized, the Company follows the with-and-without approach which was adopted in the second quarter of 2011. Under this approach, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are not deemed to be realized until after the utilization of all other tax benefits available to the Company, which are also subject to applicable limitations. As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company had $11.0 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of unrealized excess tax benefits. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion of the Company’s change in accounting principle from the tax-law-ordering method to the with-and-without approach.

9. Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2011, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, related interest and penalties was $32.1 million, $5.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded tax, interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions of $3.9 million, $1.0 million and $0.2 million respectively which were reduced by the expiration of the statutes of limitations for tax of $3.4 million, interest of $1.1 million, and penalties of $0.1 million which resulted in a year to date net increase for tax and penalties of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and a net decrease for interest of $0.1 million. The unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to uncertainties from international transfer pricing issues and the deductibility of certain operating expenses in various jurisdictions. If the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, $32.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $5.5 million of interest and $1.4 million of penalties, would impact the effective tax rate.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company benefited from the terms of a tax holiday in the People’s Republic of China. The tax holiday commenced on January 1, 2008 and will conclude on December 31, 2012. Under the terms of the holiday, the Company was subject to a zero tax rate in China during 2008 and 2009, 11% tax rate in 2010, and is subject to a graduated rate of 12% in 2011. The tax rate will gradually increase to a maximum rate of 25% in 2013.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company engages in an interest rate hedging strategy for which the hedged transactions are forecasted interest payments on the Company’s New Credit Facility, which is a variable rate credit facility. The hedged risk is the variability of forecasted interest rate cash flows, where the hedging strategy involves the purchase of interest rate swaps. For the outstanding cash flow hedges on interest rate exposures at June 30, 2011, the Company is hedging certain of its monthly interest rate exposures over approximately two years and one month.

During August 2009, the Company entered into four interest rate swap agreements with an effective date of December 31, 2009. The agreements collectively provide for the Company to pay interest for less than a four-year period at a weighted average fixed rate of 2.78% on notional amounts aggregating to $140.0 million while receiving interest for the same period at the one month LIBOR rate on the same notional amounts. These agreements will expire in July 2013. These swaps at inception were designated as cash flow hedges against the variability in the LIBOR interest rate on the Company’s term loan under the Prior Credit Facility or against the variability in the LIBOR interest rate on the replacement debt. The Company’s term loan under the Prior Credit Facility was terminated in March 2011 and refinanced with the New Credit Facility as discussed further in Note 4, Long-Term Debt. The Company’s swaps remain effective and continue to be designated as cash flow hedges against the variability in certain LIBOR interest rate borrowings under the New Credit Facility at LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.50%, fixing the Company’s weighted average effective rate on the notional amounts at 4.28% to 5.28%. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recorded as result of this refinancing event.

The Company formally assesses both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. As of June 30, 2011, the hedge relationships continued to qualify as effective hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815. Consequently, all changes in the fair value of the derivatives are deferred and recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the related forecasted transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are based on third-party bank quotes. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company recorded the interest rate swaps as liabilities at their fair value of $6.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

Foreign Currency Instruments

The Company also designates certain foreign currency derivatives, such as certain foreign currency forward and option contracts, as freestanding derivatives for which hedge accounting does not apply. The changes in the fair market value of the derivatives are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge foreign-currency-denominated intercompany transactions and to partially mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company also uses foreign currency option contracts to partially mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The fair value of the forward and option contracts are based on third-party bank quotes.

The Company designates as cash-flow hedges those foreign currency forward contracts it entered into to hedge forecasted inventory purchases and intercompany management fees that are subject to foreign currency exposures. Forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted inventory purchases over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts, excluding forward points, designated as cash-flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity, and are recognized in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of income during the period which approximates the time the hedged inventory is sold. The Company also hedges forecasted intercompany management fees over specific months. These contracts allow the Company to sell Euros in exchange for U.S. dollars at specified contract rates. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity, and are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income during the period when the hedged item and underlying transaction affect earnings.

As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the aggregate notional amounts of cash-flow designated hedge contracts outstanding were approximately $33.0 million and $32.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2011, the outstanding contracts were expected to mature over the next twelve months. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value based on third-party bank quotes. As of June 30, 2011, the Company recorded liabilities at fair value of $1.9 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash-flow hedges. As of December 31, 2010, the Company recorded assets at fair value of $0.6 million and liabilities at fair value of $0.8 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash-flow hedges. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness and measures hedge ineffectiveness at least quarterly. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the ineffective portion relating to these hedges was immaterial and the hedges remained effective as of June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the majority of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts had maturity dates of less than twelve months with the majority of freestanding derivatives expiring within one month and three months, respectively. There were no foreign currency option contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. See Part I, Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for foreign currency instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2011.

The Company reports its derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities within its condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, for information on derivative fair values and their condensed consolidated balance sheet location as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

11. Shareholders’ Equity

Dividends

The declaration of future dividends is subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including its earnings, financial condition, restrictions imposed by the New Credit Facility and the terms of any other indebtedness that may be outstanding, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by its board of directors. The New Credit Facility entered into on March 9, 2011, permits payments of dividends as long as no default or event of default exists and the consolidated leverage ratio specified in the New Credit Facility is not exceeded.

On February 22, 2011, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a cash dividend of $0.13 per common share in an aggregate amount of $14.8 million that was paid to shareholders on March 22, 2011. On May 2, 2011, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share in an aggregate amount of $23.9 million that was paid to shareholders on June 7, 2011.

The aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $23.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively. The aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $38.7 million and $24.1 million, respectively.

Share Repurchases

On April 30, 2009, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized a new program for the Company to repurchase up to $300 million of Herbalife common shares during the next two years, at such times and prices as determined by the Company’s management. On May 3, 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase to the share repurchase authorization from $300 million to $1 billion. In addition, the Company’s board of directors approved the extension of the expiration date of the share repurchase program from April 2011 to December 2014. The New Credit Facility permits repurchase of common shares as long as no default or event of default exists and the consolidated leverage ratio specified in the New Credit Facility is not exceeded.

The Company did not repurchase any common shares in the open market during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 1.8 million of its common shares through open market purchases at an aggregate cost of approximately $98.8 million or an average cost of $54.15 per share. As of June 30, 2011, the remaining authorized capacity under the Company’s share repurchase program was approximately $677.9 million.

The aggregate purchase price of any common shares repurchased is reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. The Company allocates the purchase price of the repurchased shares as a reduction to retained earnings, common shares and additional paid-in-capital.

The number of shares issued upon vesting or exercise for certain restricted stock units and SARs granted, pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation plans, is net of the minimum statutory withholding requirements that the Company pays on behalf of its employees. Although shares withheld are not issued, they are treated as common share repurchases in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These shares do not count against the authorized capacity under the Company’s share repurchase program described above.

Stock Split

On April 28, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved a 2-for-1 split of the Company’s common shares. One additional common share was distributed to the Company’s shareholders on or around May 17, 2011, for each common share held on May 10, 2011. All common shares subject to outstanding equity awards and warrants, as well as the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s share-based compensation plans, were adjusted proportionately.

12. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents net income for the period common shares were outstanding, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the effect of dilutive securities such as outstanding stock options, SARs, stock units and warrants.

The following are the common share amounts used to compute the basic and diluted earnings per share for each period:


	For the Three Months				For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,				Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(in thousands)
Weighted average shares used in basic computations		119,007		119,054		118,609		119,686
Dilutive effect of exercise of equity grants outstanding		7,350		6,221		7,748		6,128
Dilutive effect of warrants		260		410		253		398

Weighted average shares used in diluted computations		126,617		125,685		126,610		126,212

There were an aggregate of 1.2 million of equity grants that were outstanding during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, and an aggregate of 4.1 million and 4.4 million of equity grants that were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, consisting of stock options, SARs, and stock units, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

13. Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value as discussed throughout the notes to its consolidated financial statements. Foreign exchange currency contracts and interest rate swaps are valued using standard calculations and models. Foreign exchange currency contracts are valued primarily based on inputs such as observable forward rates, spot rates and foreign currency exchange rates at the reporting period ended date. Interest rate swaps are valued primarily based on inputs such as LIBOR and swap yield curves at the reporting period ended date. Assets or liabilities that have recurring measurements and are measured at fair value consisted of only Level 2 derivatives and are shown below at their gross values at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Item 2.		*MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS*

Overview

We are a global network marketing company that sells weight management products, nutritional supplements, energy, sports & fitness products and personal care products. We pursue our mission of “changing people’s lives” by providing a financially rewarding business opportunity to distributors and quality products to distributors and their customers who seek a healthy lifestyle. We are one of the largest network marketing companies in the world with net sales of approximately $2.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, we sold our products in 75 countries through a network of approximately 2.3 million independent distributors. In China, we sell our products through retail stores, sales representatives, sales employees and licensed business providers. We believe the quality of our products and the effectiveness of our distribution network, coupled with geographic expansion, has been the primary reasons for our success throughout our 31-year operating history.

Our products are grouped in four principal categories: weight management, targeted nutrition, energy, sports & fitness and Outer Nutrition, along with literature and promotional items. Our products are often sold in programs that are comprised of a series of related products and literature designed to simplify weight management and nutrition for consumers and maximize our distributors’ cross-selling opportunities.

Industry-wide factors that affect us and our competitors include the global obesity epidemic and the aging of the worldwide population, which are driving demand for nutrition and wellness-related products along with the global increase in under and unemployment which can affect the recruitment and retention of distributors seeking part time or full time income opportunities.

While we continue to monitor the current global financial crisis, we remain focused on the opportunities and challenges in retailing of our products, recruiting and retaining distributors, improving distributor productivity, opening new markets, further penetrating existing markets, globalizing successful Distributor Methods of Operation, or DMO, such as Nutrition Clubs and Weight Loss Challenges, introducing new products and globalizing existing products, developing niche market segments and further investing in our infrastructure. Management also continues to monitor the Venezuela market and especially the limited ability to repatriate cash.

We report revenue from our six regions:

•

North America;

•

Mexico;

•

South and Central America;

•

EMEA, which consists of Europe, the Middle East and Africa;

•

Asia Pacific (excluding China); and

•

China.

Volume Points by Geographic Region

A key non-financial measure we focus on is Volume Points on a Royalty Basis, or Volume Points, which is essentially our weighted average measure of product sales volume. Volume Points, which are unaffected by exchange rates or price increases, are used by management as a proxy for sales trends because in general, an increase in Volume Points in a particular geographic region or country indicates an increase in our local currency net sales while a decrease in Volume Points in a particular geographic region or country indicates a decrease in our local currency net sales.

We assign a Volume Point value to a product when it is first introduced into the market. The specific number of Volume Points assigned to a product is based on a Volume Point to U.S. dollar ratio that we use for the vast majority of new products. If a product is available in different quantities then the various sizes will have different Volume Point values. If a new product is not introduced in or otherwise expected to be sold in the U.S., we will determine the Volume Point value for that product based on a review of various factors in the regions and countries in which we will market the product, including the Volume Point to local currency ratio of existing products in the relevant countries. In general, once assigned, a Volume Point value is consistent in each region and country and does not change from year to year. The reason volume points are used in the manner described above is that the Company uses volume points for distributor qualification and recognition purposes and therefore attempts to keep volume points for a similar or like product consistent on a global basis. However, because Volume Points are a function of value rather than product type or size, they are not a reliable measure for product mix. As an example, an increase in Volume Points in a specific country or region could mean a significant increase in sales of less expensive product or a marginal increase in sales of an expensive product.

Average Active Sales Leaders by Geographic Region

With the continued expansion of daily consumption DMOs in our different markets, we believe the Average Active Sales Leader metric, which represents the monthly average number of sales leaders that place an order from us in a given quarter, is a useful metric. We rely on this metric as an indication of the engagement level of sales leaders in a given region. Changes in the Average Active Sales Leader metric may be indicative of the current momentum in a region as well as the potential for higher annual retention levels and future sales growth through utilization of daily consumption DMOs.

(1)		Worldwide Average Active Sales Leaders may not equal the sum of the Average Active Sales Leaders in each region due to the calculation being an average of Sales Leaders active in a period, not a summation, and the fact that some sales leaders are active in more than one region but are counted only once in the worldwide amount.

Number of Sales Leaders and Retention Rates by Geographic Region as of Re-qualification Period

Our compensation system requires each sales leader to re-qualify for such status each year, prior to February, in order to maintain their 50% discount on products and be eligible to receive royalty payments. In February of each year, we demote from the rank of sales leader those distributors who did not satisfy the re-qualification requirements during the preceding twelve months. The re-qualification requirement does not apply to new sales leaders (i.e., those who became sales leaders subsequent to the January re-qualification of the prior year).


Sales Leaders Statistics (Excluding China)	2011			2010
	(In thousands)
January 1 total sales leaders		434.2			431.3
January & February new sales leaders		28.9			21.2

The table below reflects the number of sales leaders as of February of the year indicated (subsequent to the annual re-qualification date) and sales leader retention rate by year and by region.


	Number of Sales Leaders				Sales Leaders Retention Rate
	2011		2010		2011			2010
North America		72,152		64,668		48.6	%		43.3	%
Mexico		54,526		47,068		57.9	%		50.4	%
South & Central America		50,288		51,060		47.3	%		34.1	%
EMEA		49,696		47,080		58.6	%		51.9	%
Asia Pacific (excluding China)		90,822		75,635		38.4	%		38.6	%

Total Sales leaders		317,484		285,511		48.9	%		43.0	%
China Sales Employees		30,543		27,415

Worldwide Total Sales Leaders		348,027		312,926

The number of sales leaders by geographic region as of the quarterly reporting dates will normally be higher than the number of sales leaders by geographic region as of the re-qualification period because sales leaders who do not re-qualify during the relevant twelve-month period will be removed from the rank of sales leader the following February. Since sales leaders purchase most of our products for resale to other distributors and consumers, comparisons of sales leader totals on a year-to-year basis are indicators of our recruitment and retention efforts in different geographic regions.

The value of the average monthly purchase of Herbalife products by our sales leaders has remained relatively constant over time. Consequently, increases in our sales are driven by our retention of sales leaders, our recruitment and retention of distributors and by our distributors’ increased adoption of daily consumption DMOs.

We provide distributors with products, support materials, training, special events and a competitive compensation program. If a distributor wants to pursue the Herbalife business opportunity, the distributor is responsible for growing his or her business and personally pays for the sales activities related to attracting new customers and recruiting distributors by hosting events such as Herbalife Opportunity Meetings or Success Training Seminars; by advertising Herbalife’s products; by purchasing and using promotional materials such as t-shirts, buttons and caps; by utilizing and paying for direct mail and print material such as brochures, flyers, catalogs, business cards, posters and banners and telephone book listings; by purchasing inventory for sale or use as samples; and by training, mentoring and following up (in person or via the phone or internet) with customers and recruits on how to use Herbalife products and/or pursue the Herbalife business opportunity.

Presentation

“Retail sales” represent the gross sales amounts on our invoices to distributors before distributor allowances, as defined below, and “net sales,” which reflect distributor allowances and shipping and handling revenues, represent what we collect and recognize as net sales in our financial statements. We discuss retail sales because of its fundamental role in our compensation systems, internal controls and operations, including its role as the basis upon which distributor discounts, royalties and bonuses are awarded. In addition, it is used as the basis for certain information included in daily and monthly reports reviewed by our management. However, such a measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Retail sales should not be considered in isolation from, nor as a substitute for, net sales and other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net sales to retail sales is presented below under “Results of Operations.” “Product sales” represent the actual product purchase price paid to us by our distributors, after giving effect to distributor discounts referred to as “distributor allowances,” which approximate 50% of retail sales prices. Distributor allowances as a percentage of retail sales may vary by country depending upon regulatory restrictions that limit or otherwise restrict distributor allowances.

Our international operations have provided and will continue to provide a significant portion of our total net sales. As a result, total net sales will continue to be affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, in addition to comparing the percent change in net sales from one period to another in U.S. dollars, we also compare the percent change in net sales from one period to another period using “net sales in local currency” disclosure. Net sales in local currency is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure. Net sales in local currency removes from net sales in U.S. dollars the impact of changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, by translating the current period net sales into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate the net sales for the previous comparable period. We believe presenting net sales in local currency is useful to investors because it allows a more meaningful comparison of net sales of our foreign operations from period to period. However, net sales in local currency measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales in U.S. dollars measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Our “gross profit” consists of net sales less “cost of sales,” which represents our manufacturing costs, the price we pay to our raw material suppliers and manufacturers of our products as well as shipping and handling costs related to product shipments, duties and tariffs, freight expenses relating to shipment of products to distributors and importers and similar expenses.

“Royalty overrides” are our most significant expense and consist of:

•

royalty overrides and production bonuses which total approximately 15% and 7%, respectively, of the retail sales of weight management, targeted nutrition, energy, sports & fitness, Outer Nutrition and promotional products;

•

the Mark Hughes bonus payable to some of our most senior distributors in the aggregate amount of up to 1% of retail sales of weight management, targeted nutrition, energy, sports & fitness, Outer Nutrition products and promotional products; and

•

other discretionary incentive cash bonuses to qualifying distributors.

Royalty overrides are generally earned based on retail sales and provide potential earnings to distributors of up to 23% of retail sales or approximately 33% of our net sales. Royalty overrides together with distributor allowances of up to 50% represent the potential earnings to distributors of up to approximately 73% of retail sales. The compensation to distributors is generally for the development, retention and improved productivity of their distributor sales organizations and is paid to several levels of distributors on each sale. Due to restrictions on direct selling in China, our full-time employed sales representatives in China are compensated with wages, bonuses and benefits and our licensed business providers in China are compensated with service fees instead of the distributor allowances and royalty overrides utilized in our traditional marketing program. Because of local country regulatory constraints, we may be required to modify our typical distributor incentive plans as described above. Consequently, the total distributor discount percentage may vary over time. We also offer reduced distributor allowances and pay reduced royalty overrides with respect to certain products worldwide.

Our “contribution margins” consist of net sales less cost of sales and royalty overrides.

“Selling, general and administrative expenses” represent our operating expenses, components of which include labor and benefits, sales events, professional fees, travel and entertainment, distributor marketing, occupancy costs, communication costs, bank fees, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange gains and losses and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Most of our sales to distributors outside the United States are made in the respective local currencies. In preparing our financial statements, we translate revenues into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates. Additionally, the majority of our purchases from our suppliers generally are made in U.S. dollars. Consequently, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus a foreign currency can have a negative impact on our reported sales and contribution margins and can generate transaction losses on intercompany transactions. Throughout the last five years, foreign currency exchange rates have fluctuated significantly. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward and option contracts to partially mitigate our foreign currency exchange risk as discussed in further detail in Part I, Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Summary Financial Results

Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $879.7 million and $1,674.8 million, respectively. Net sales increased $190.8 million, or 27.7%, and $367.3 million, or 28.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 19.9% and 22.1%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the continued successful adoption and operation of daily consumption DMOs; increased distributor engagement as reflected by record 2011 sales leader retention and an increase in average active sales leaders; branding activities and increased distributor recruiting.

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $111.2 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, and $199.2 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, respectively. Net income increased $29.0 million, or 35.3%, and $65.2 million, or 48.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to higher contribution margin driven by net sales growth discussed above, partially offset by higher salaries, bonuses and benefits, higher distributor promotion and event costs, higher professional fees, higher foreign exchange losses and higher non-income tax expense such as sales tax and value added tax. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was favorably impacted by foreign exchange gain related to Venezuela, as described below. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to the same factors mentioned above; and also partially offset by higher expenses related to China sales employees and licensed business providers. In addition, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was also negatively impacted by matters related to Venezuela, as described below.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included a $0.9 million pre-tax ($0.7 million post-tax) additional interest expense from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs resulting from the debt refinancing arrangement in March 2011. See Note 4, Long Term Debt, to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our debt refinancing.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 included a $4.0 million pre-tax ($2.6 million post-tax) foreign exchange gain in our Venezuelan subsidiary, Herbalife Venezuela, as a result of remeasuring its Bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2010 at the SITME rate of 5.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar as opposed to the last parallel market rate of 8.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 also included a $15.1 million unfavorable impact related to remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities resulting from Venezuela being designated as a highly inflationary economy beginning January 1, 2010; a $12.7 million unfavorable impact related to incremental U.S. dollar costs of 2009 imports into Venezuela which were recorded at the unfavorable parallel market exchange rate and were not devalued based on 2010 exchange rates but rather recorded to cost of sales at their historical dollar costs as products were sold in the first quarter of 2010; a $3.7 million favorable impact resulting from receipt of U.S. dollars approved by the Venezuelan government’s Foreign Exchange Commission, or CADIVI, at the official exchange rate relating to 2009 product importations which were previously registered with CADIVI and a $14.5 million one-time favorable impact to income taxes related to Venezuela becoming a highly inflationary economy. See the discussion below under Liquidity and Capital Resources — Venezuela for further information on Herbalife Venezuela and Venezuela’s highly inflationary economy.

Changes in net sales are directly associated with the recruiting and retention of our distributor force, retailing of our products, the quality and completeness of our product offerings that the distributor force has to sell and the number of countries in which we operate. Management’s role, both in-country and at the region and corporate level, is to provide distributors with a competitive and broad product line, encourage strong teamwork and distributor leadership and offer leading edge business tools and technology services to make doing business with Herbalife simple. Management uses the distributor marketing program coupled with educational and motivational tools and promotions to incentivize distributors to increase recruiting, retention and retailing, which in turn affect net sales. Such tools include Company sponsored sales events such as Extravaganzas, Leadership Development Weekends and World Team Schools where large groups of distributors gather, thus allowing them to network with other distributors, learn recruiting, retention and retailing techniques from our leading distributors and become more familiar with how to market and sell our products and business opportunities. Accordingly, management believes that these development and motivation programs increase the productivity of the sales leader network. The expenses for such programs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Sales are driven by several factors, including the number and productivity of distributors and sales leaders who continually build, educate and motivate their respective distribution and sales organizations. We also use event and non-event product promotions to motivate distributors to increase recruiting, retention and retailing activities. These promotions have prizes ranging from qualifying for events to product prizes and vacations. The costs of these promotions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The factors described above have helped distributors increase their business, which in turn helps drive Volume Point growth in our business, and thus, net sales growth. The discussion below of net sales by geographic region further details some of the specific drivers of growth of our business and causes of sales fluctuations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010, as well as the unique growth or contraction factors specific to certain geographic regions or significant countries within a region. We believe that the correct business foundation, coupled with ongoing training and promotional initiatives, is required to increase recruiting and retention of distributors and retailing of our products. The correct business foundation includes strong country management that works closely with the distributor leadership, actively engaged and unified distributor leadership, a broad product line that appeals to local consumer needs, a favorable regulatory environment, a scalable and stable technology platform and an attractive distributor marketing plan. Initiatives, such as Success Training Seminars, Leadership Development Weekends, Promotional Events and regional Extravaganzas are integral components of developing a highly motivated and educated distributor sales organization that will work toward increasing the recruitment and retention of distributors.

We anticipate that our strategy will continue to include creating and maintaining growth within existing markets while expanding into new markets. In addition, new ideas and DMOs, are being generated in many of our regional markets and are globalized where applicable, through the combined efforts of distributors, country management or regional and corporate management. While we support a number of different DMOs, one of the more popular DMOs is the daily consumption DMO. Under our traditional DMO, a distributor typically sells to its customers on a somewhat infrequent basis (e.g., monthly) which provides fewer opportunities for interaction with their customers. Under a daily consumption DMO, a distributor interacts with its customers on a more frequent basis which enables the distributor to better educate and advise customers about nutrition and the proper use of the products and helps promote daily usage as well, thereby helping the distributor grow his or her business. Specific examples of DMOs include the Club concept in Mexico, Premium Herbalife Opportunity Meetings in Korea, the Healthy Breakfast concept in Russia, and the Internet/Sampling and Weight Loss Challenge in the U.S. Management’s strategy is to review the applicability of expanding successful country initiatives throughout a region, and where appropriate, financially support the globalization of these initiatives.

North America

The North America region reported net sales of $185.2 million and $352.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Net sales increased $18.8 million, or 11.3%, and $34.5 million, or 10.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 11.1% and 10.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The overall increase in net sales in the region in both periods was a result of net sales growth in the U.S. of $17.7 million, or 11.0%, and $33.2 million, or 10.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010.

In the U.S. we continue to see the success of our distributors converting their business focus toward a daily consumption DMO, especially the Nutrition Club DMO, and its extension into Commercial Clubs, along with the continued development of the Weight Loss Challenge DMO. The success of these DMOs has resulted in higher levels of distributor engagement and momentum.

Average active sales leaders in the region increased 13.8% and 14.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. Average active sales leaders in the U.S. increased 14.0% and 14.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. Total sales leaders in the region increased 9.1% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.

The region hosted Leadership Development Weekends in April where there were more than 14,000 total attendees in 18 cities.

Mexico

The Mexico region reported net sales of $113.9 million and $217.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $33.0 million, or 40.8%, and $65.1 million, or 42.6%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 31.3% and 33.8%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact of $7.6 million and $13.4 million on net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

We believe that the growth in local currency sales is the result of increased distributor engagement. In addition, since the beginning of 2010 we have significantly expanded our distribution network and product access throughout the country.

Average active sales leaders in Mexico increased 25.8% and 24.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. Total sales leaders in Mexico increased 21.5% as of June 30, 2011, compared to June 30, 2010.

The region hosted Leadership Development Weekends in May where there were more than 11,000 total attendees in 6 cities.

South and Central America

The South and Central America region reported net sales of $130.1 million and $255.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Net sales increased $47.3 million, or 57.1%, and $81.3 million, or 46.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 43.5% and 35.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had an $11.3 million and $19.5 million favorable impact on net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to increases in net sales in all countries in the region, led by Brazil and Venezuela.

In Brazil, the region’s largest market, net sales increased $25.7 million, or 54.1%, and $49.8 million, or 52.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 37.3% and 38.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in local currency net sales was primarily the result of the successful adoption of Nutrition Clubs and other daily consumption DMOs. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had an $8.0 million and $13.3 million favorable impact on net sales in Brazil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Venezuela, the region’s second largest market, experienced a net sales increase of $5.0 million, or 64.0%, and $8.0 million, or 48.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 38.3% and 23.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The sales growth in local currency in both periods was partially driven by price increases of 8% and 10% in July 2010 and November 2010, respectively. See Liquidity and Capital Resources — Working Capital and Operating Activities below for further discussion of currency exchange rate issues in Venezuela.

Average active sales leaders in the region increased 21.7% and 17.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. Total sales leaders in the region increased 5.9% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.

In April, the region hosted three Extravaganzas in Brazil with a total of almost 15,000 attendees. In June, the region also hosted Leadership Development Weekends in 14 cities with a total of almost 13,000 attendees.

EMEA

The EMEA region reported net sales of $162.0 million and $315.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Net sales increased $26.4 million, or 19.5%, and $49.5 million, or 18.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 7.5% and 12.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $16.3 million and $16.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was driven by increases in Russia, Italy, Spain and certain Eastern European markets, partially offset by a decrease in France.

Net sales in Italy, our largest market in the region, increased $4.0 million, or 13.2%, and $6.3 million, or 10.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 0.2% and 4.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the transition to daily consumption DMOs from the traditional recruiting model.

Net sales in Russia, our second largest market in the region, increased $7.3 million, or 70.4%, and $16.2 million, or 81.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 57.5% and 73.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in Russia was driven by the ongoing adoption of the Commercial Nutrition Club, additional sales centers which have increased access to our products and improving brand image including the sponsorship of FC Spartak Moscow football club.

Net sales in Spain, our third largest market in the region, increased $2.7 million, or 25.5%, and $4.2 million, or 20.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales in Spain increased 11.0% and 13.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in Spain was mainly due to the positive effect of increased distributor engagement and recruitment which was aided by our sponsorship of FC Barcelona.

Net sales in France decreased $1.9 million, or 21.8%, and $4.4 million, or 24.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales in France decreased 30.7% and 28.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The decrease in net sales in France was mainly due to lower distributor engagement.

Average active sales leaders in the region increased 14.3% and 13.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. Total sales leaders in the region increased 7.4% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.

There were no major events for the region in the second quarter.

Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific region, which excludes China, reported net sales of $237.1 million and $436.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Net sales increased $65.2 million, or 37.9%, and $123.5 million, or 39.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 28.7% and 31.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact of $15.9 million and $24.0 million on net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to net sales growth in South Korea and India partially offset by a decline in Taiwan.

Net sales in South Korea, our largest market in the region, increased $32.0 million, or 56.6%, and $58.3 million, or 63.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 45.5% and 55.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the successful adoption and operation of the Nutrition Club DMO, in the form of Commercial Clubs along with the Mega and Premium Herbalife Opportunity Meetings. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $6.3 million and $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010.

Net sales in Taiwan, our second largest market in the region, decreased $2.3 million, or 5.6%, and $1.6 million, or 2.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales decreased 14.5% and 10.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The decline in net sales is mainly due to strategic actions taken to address certain distributor business training practices around nutrition clubs, resulting in the closure of a significant number of clubs. We believe these actions create a stable platform for future growth. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $3.6 million and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010.

Net sales in India, our third largest market in the region, increased $16.7 million, or 142.3%, and $33.3 million, or 152.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales increased 137.3% and 148.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily driven by the successful adoption of the Nutrition Club DMO. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010.

Average active sales leaders in the region increased 30.5% and 28.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. Total sales leaders in the region increased 23.7% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.

In May, the region hosted an Extravaganza in Bangkok, Thailand with over 22,000 attendees.

China

Net sales in China were $51.4 million and $97.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Net sales increased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, and $13.5 million, or 16.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. In local currency, net sales decreased 4.6% and increased 11.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. The decline in local currency net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily reflects both the success of vacation promotions which took place in the second quarter of 2010 and the impact from transitioning towards daily consumption DMOs. The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact of $2.5 million and $4.1 million on net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

The current focus in China is to expand the Nutrition Club DMO to enhance the emphasis on daily consumption DMOs. We believe that the Nutrition Club concept is slowly starting to gain traction as evidenced by the growth in clubs over the past year. While we believe the Nutrition Club DMO has tremendous potential to expand throughout China and achieve success similar to South Korea, we also realize that the process is still in its early development stage and will most likely build gradually over the next few years.

Average active sales leaders in China increased 25.4% and 30.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010. Total sales leaders in China increased 2.0% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010. We believe that lower sales with a simultaneous increase in distributor engagement is indicative of a market transitioning to daily consumption DMOs.

As of June 30, 2011, we had direct-selling licenses in 16 provinces and we were operating 72 retail stores in 30 provinces in China. The 16 provinces in which we now have direct-selling licenses represent an addressable population of approximately 844 million. We continue to seek additional provincial licenses where appropriate.

Net sales for all product categories increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010, mainly due to the factors described in the above discussions of the individual geographic regions.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $708.6 million and $1,340.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $552.2 million and $1,030.4 million for the same periods in 2010. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to 80.6% and 80.1%, respectively, as compared to 80.2% and 78.8% for the same periods in 2010, or a favorable net increase of 40 and 130 basis points. The 40 basis point increase for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to net sourcing cost savings. The 130 basis point increase for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to a favorable 106 basis point net increase related to circumstances surrounding Herbalife Venezuela and Venezuela’s highly inflationary economy, the circumstances of which are described in great detail throughout our 2010 10-K. Specifically, the 106 basis point increase resulted from the combination of (i) 97 favorable basis points from recognizing an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $12.7 million during the first quarter 2010, relating to the incremental U.S. dollar cost of importing finished goods into Venezuela at the unfavorable parallel market rate rather than the CADIVI official rate, and (ii) 9 favorable basis points from the impact of remeasuring Herbalife Venezuela’s Bolivar net sales at the SITME rate during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as opposed to being measured at the less favorable old parallel market rate during the six months ended June 30, 2010. See Liquidity and Capital Resources — Venezuela below for further discussion on currency exchange rate issues in Venezuela. We believe that at least in the near term we will continue to have the ability to partially mitigate certain cost pressures through improved optimization of our supply chain coupled with select increases in the retail prices of our products.

Royalty Overrides

Royalty overrides were $289.2 million and $553.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $224.8 million and $432.1 million for the same periods in 2010. Royalty overrides as a percentage of net sales was 32.9% and 33.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to 32.7% and 33.0% for the same periods in 2010. Generally, this ratio varies slightly from period to period due to changes in the mix of products and countries because full royalty overrides are not paid on certain products and in certain countries. Compensation to our full-time sales employees and licensed business providers in China is included in selling, general and administrative expenses as opposed to royalty overrides where it is included for all other distributors under our worldwide marketing plan. We anticipate fluctuations in royalty overrides as a percentage of net sales reflecting the growth prospect of our China business relative to that of our worldwide business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $266.2 million and $510.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $211.1 million and $418.0 million for the same periods in 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 30.3% and 30.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to 30.6% and 32.0% for the same periods in 2010.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 included $12.4 million in higher salaries, bonuses and benefits, excluding China sales employees; higher variable expenses including $8.4 million in higher distributor promotion and event costs, $13.7 million in higher foreign exchange losses, which included the effect of Herbalife Venezuela’s $4.0 million foreign exchange gain in the second quarter of 2010, $2.5 million in higher professional services and $6.8 million in higher non-income tax expenses such as value added tax and sales tax; partially offset by $0.6 million lower expenses related to China sales employees and licensed business providers.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included $28.3 million in higher salaries, bonuses and benefits, excluding China sales employees; higher variable expenses including $20.5 million in higher distributor promotion and event costs, $3.4 million in higher foreign exchange losses, which included the effect of Herbalife Venezuela’s $4.0 million foreign exchange gain in the second quarter of 2010 and $11.4 million foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of 2010, $5.6 million in higher professional services, $12.4 million in higher non-income tax expenses such as value added tax and sales tax and $4.9 million in higher expenses related to China sales employees and licensed business providers.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense is as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,			June 30,			June 30,
Net Interest Expense	2011			2010			2011			2010
				(Dollars in millions)
Interest expense		3.1			2.5			6.4			5.0
Interest income		(2.2	)		(0.4	)		(2.9	)		(0.9	)

Net interest expense	$	0.9		$	2.1		$	3.5		$	4.1

The decrease in net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to the interest received related to non-income tax refunds.

The decrease in net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to the interest received related to non-income tax refunds partially offset by the deferred financing cost write-off related to the extinguishment of our prior senior secured credit facility, or the Prior Credit Facility.

Income Taxes

Income taxes were $41.1 million and $73.9 million for the three and six month ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $32.0 million and $42.2 million for the same periods in 2010. As a percentage of pre-tax income, the effective income tax rate was 27.0% and 27.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to 28.0% and 23.9% for the same periods in 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to the conversion of Venezuela to a hyperinflationary currency in 2010, as well as the change in the operating effective rate reflecting changes in the country mix. See Note 12, Income Taxes, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2010 10-K for additional discussion on the income tax impact related to Venezuela becoming a highly inflationary economy.

See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, for discussion of our change in the method of accounting for excess tax benefits recognized as a result of the exercise of employee stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, and other share-based equity grants, from the tax-law-ordering method to the with-and-without method.

Subsequent Events

On August 1, 2011, we announced that our board of directors approved a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share, payable on August 29, 2011 to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically met our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including funding for expansion of operations, through net cash flows provided by operating activities. Our principal source of liquidity is our operating cash flows. Variations in sales of our products would directly affect the availability of funds. There are no material contractual restrictions on the ability to transfer and remit funds among our international affiliated companies. However, as discussed below there are foreign currency restrictions in Venezuela. As noted above, we have historically met our funding needs utilizing cash flow from operating activities and we believe we will have sufficient resources to meet debt service obligations in a timely manner. Our existing debt has not resulted from the need to fund our normal operations, but instead has effectively resulted from our share repurchase and dividend activities over recent years, which together, since the inception of these programs in 2007, amounted to approximately $1.1 billion. While a significant net sales decline could potentially affect the availability of funds, many of our largest expenses are purely variable in nature, which we believe protects our funding in all but a dramatic net sales downturn. Further, as discussed in greater detail below, we maintain a revolving credit facility, recently executed on March 9, 2011, which had $540.7 million of undrawn capacity as of June 30, 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated $250.6 million of operating cash flow, as compared to $170.6 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in cash generated from operations was primarily due to an increase in operating income of $96.3 million driven by a 28.1% growth in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Capital expenditures, including capital leases, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were $44.6 million and $23.9 million, respectively. The majority of these expenditures represented investments in management information systems, the development of our distributor internet initiatives, and the expansion of our warehouse, sales centers and manufacturing facilities domestically and internationally. We expect to incur total capital expenditures of approximately $90 million to $100 million for all of 2011.

On March 9, 2011, we entered into a $700.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or the New Credit Facility, with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and terminated our Prior Credit Facility that consisted of a term loan and a revolving credit facility. The New Credit Facility has a five year maturity and expires on March 9, 2016. During March 2011, U.S. dollar borrowings under the New Credit Facility incurred interest at the base rate plus a margin of 0.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. After March 2011, based on our consolidated leverage ratio, U.S. dollar borrowings under the New Credit Facility will bear interest at either LIBOR plus the applicable margin between 1.50% and 2.50% or the base rate plus the applicable margin between 0.50% and 1.50%. We, based on our consolidated leverage ratio, will pay a commitment fee between 0.25% and 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility also permits us to borrow limited amounts in Mexican Peso and Euro currencies based on variable rates. The base rate under the New Credit Facility represents the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, and the prime rate offered by Bank of America.

In March 2011, we used $196.0 million in U.S. dollar borrowings under the New Credit Facility to repay all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility. We incurred approximately $5.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the New Credit Facility. These debt issuance costs were recorded as deferred financing costs on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the term of the New Credit Facility. On June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the New Credit Facility and the Prior Credit Facility was 1.97% and 1.75%, respectively.

The New Credit Facility requires us to comply with a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. In addition, the New Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments, pay dividends, repurchase our common shares, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with these covenants.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we borrowed $336.7 million and $54.0 million under the New Credit Facility and the Prior Credit Facility, respectively, and paid a total of $178.7 million and $228.9 million of the New Credit Facility and Prior Credit Facility, respectively.

The following summarizes our contractual obligations including interest at June 30, 2011, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Dividends

The declaration of future dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our earnings, financial condition, restrictions imposed by the New Credit Facility and the terms of any other indebtedness that may be outstanding, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. The New Credit Facility permits payments of dividends as long as no default or event of default exists and the consolidated leverage ratio specified in the New Credit Facility is not exceeded.

On February 22, 2011, we announced that our board of directors approved a cash dividend of $0.13 per common share in an aggregate amount of $14.8 million that was paid to shareholders on March 22, 2011. On May 2, 2011, we announced that our board of directors approved a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share in an aggregate amount of $23.9 million that was paid to shareholders on June 7, 2011.

Share Repurchases

On April 30, 2009, we announced that our board of directors authorized a new program for us to repurchase up to $300 million of Herbalife common shares during the next two years, at such times and prices as determined by management. On May 3, 2010, our board of directors approved an increase to the share repurchase authorization from $300 million to $1 billion. In addition, our board of directors approved the extension of the expiration date of the share repurchase program from April 2011 to December 2014. The New Credit Facility permits repurchases of common shares as long as no default or event of default exists and the consolidated leverage ratio specified in the New Credit Facility is not exceeded.

We did not repurchase any common shares in the open market during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased approximately 1.8 million of our common shares through open market purchases at an aggregate cost of approximately $98.8 million or an average cost of $54.15 per share. As of June 30, 2011, the remaining authorized capacity under our share repurchase program was approximately $677.9 million.

Stock Split

On April 28, 2011, our shareholders approved a 2-for-1 split of the Company’s common shares. One additional common share was distributed to the Company’s shareholders on or around May 17, 2011, for each common share held on May 10, 2011. All common shares subject to outstanding equity awards and warrants, as well as the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans, were adjusted proportionately.

Working Capital and Operating Activities

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had positive working capital of $196.0 million, and $124.8 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents were $254.5 million at June 30, 2011 and $190.6 million at December 31, 2010.

We expect that cash and funds provided from operations and available borrowings under our New Credit Facility will provide sufficient working capital to operate our business, to make expected capital expenditures and to meet foreseeable liquidity requirements, including amounts outstanding under our New Credit Facility, for the next twelve months and thereafter.

The majority of our purchases from suppliers are generally made in U.S. dollars, while sales to our distributors generally are made in local currencies. Consequently, strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus a foreign currency can have a negative impact on net sales and contribution margins and can generate transaction losses on intercompany transactions. For discussion of our foreign exchange contracts and other hedging arrangements, see Part I, Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Venezuela

Currency Restrictions

Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2003 have become more restrictive and have impacted the ability of our subsidiary in Venezuela, Herbalife Venezuela, to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan Bolivars, or Bolivars, at the official foreign exchange rates from the Venezuelan government and its foreign exchange commission, CADIVI. The application and approval processes have been intermittently delayed and the timing and ability to obtain U.S. dollars at the official exchange rates remain uncertain. In certain instances, we have made appropriate applications through CADIVI for approval to obtain U.S. dollars so that Herbalife Venezuela can pay for imported products and an annual dividend at the official exchange rate. As an alternative exchange mechanism, we have also participated in certain bond offerings from the Venezuelan government and from Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. or PDVSA, a Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company, where we effectively purchased bonds with our Bolivars and then sold the bonds for U.S. dollars. In other instances, we used a legal but less favorable parallel market mechanism for currency exchange. In May 2010, this less favorable parallel market was discontinued.

In June 2010, the Venezuelan government introduced additional regulations under a new regulated system, SITME, which is controlled by the Central Bank of Venezuela. SITME provides a mechanism to exchange Bolivars into U.S. dollars through the purchase and sale of U.S. dollar denominated bonds issued in Venezuela. However, SITME is only available in certain limited circumstances. Specifically, SITME can only be used for product purchases and is not available for other matters such as the payment of dividends. Also, SITME can only be used for amounts of up to $50,000 per day and $350,000 per month and is generally only available to the extent the applicant has not exchanged and received U.S. dollars via the CADIVI process within the previous 90 days.

In February 2011, Herbalife Venezuela purchased U.S. dollar denominated bonds with a face value of $20 million U.S. dollars in a bond offering from PDVSA for 86 million Bolivars and then immediately sold the bonds for $15 million U.S. dollars, resulting in an average effective conversion rate of 5.7 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. The 86 million Bolivars were previously remeasured at the regulated system rate, or SITME rate, of 5.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar and recorded as cash and cash equivalents of $16.3 million on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010. This Bolivar to U.S. dollar conversion resulted in us recording a net pre-tax loss of $1.3 million U.S. dollars during the first quarter of 2011 which is included in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

See the 2010 10-K for further information on Herbalife Venezuela and Venezuela’s highly inflationary economy.

Consolidation of Herbalife Venezuela

We plan to continue our operation in Venezuela and to import products into Venezuela despite the foreign currency constraints. Herbalife Venezuela will continue to apply for legal exchange mechanisms to convert its Bolivars to U.S. dollars. Despite the currency exchange restrictions in Venezuela, we continue to control Herbalife Venezuela and its operations. The mere existence of the exchange restrictions discussed above does not in and of itself create a presumption that this lack of exchangeability is other-than-temporary, nor does it create a presumption that an entity should deconsolidate its Venezuelan operations. Therefore, we continue to consolidate Herbalife Venezuela in our consolidated financial statements for U.S. GAAP purposes. Substantially all of Herbalife Venezuela’s Bolivar denominated assets and liabilities are currently being remeasured at the SITME rate.

Although there are delays in the CADIVI approval process, when applicable, we plan to continue applying to CADIVI to obtain the official rate relating to the importation of our products. In addition, we plan to utilize the SITME market to the extent allowable under current restrictions in order to exchange Bolivars to U.S. dollars. Our ability to access the official exchange rate and the SITME rate could impact what exchange rates will be used for remeasurement purposes in future periods. We continue to assess and monitor the current economic and political environment in Venezuela.

As of June 30, 2011, Herbalife Venezuela’s net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Bolivars were approximately $13.7 million, and included approximately $20.0 million in Bolivar denominated cash and cash equivalents. The majority of these Bolivar denominated assets and liabilities were remeasured at the regulated SITME rate. Although Venezuela is an important market in our South and Central America Region, Herbalife Venezuela’s net sales represented less than 2% of our consolidated net sales for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and its total assets represented less than 3% of our consolidated total assets as of both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Contingencies

See Note 5, Contingencies, to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our contingencies as of June 30, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, allowance for product returns, inventory reserves, share-based compensation expense, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, and other loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

We are a network marketing company that sells a wide range of weight management products, nutritional supplements, energy, sports & fitness products and personal care products within one industry segment as defined under Financial Accounting Standard Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Our products are manufactured by third party providers and manufactured in our Suzhou, China facility, and in our manufacturing facility located in Lake Forest, California, and then are sold to independent distributors who sell Herbalife products to retail consumers or other distributors. As of June 30, 2011, we sold products in 75 countries throughout the world and we are organized and managed by geographic region. We have elected to aggregate our operating segments into one reporting segment, except China, as management believes that our operating segments have similar operating characteristics and similar long term operating performance. In making this determination, management believes that the operating segments are similar in the nature of the products sold, the product acquisition process, the types of customers to whom products are sold, the methods used to distribute the products, and the nature of the regulatory environment.

Revenue is recognized when products are shipped and title and risk of loss passes to the independent distributor or importer or as products are sold in our retail stores in China. Sales are recognized on a net sales basis, which reflects product returns, net of discounts referred to as “distributor allowances”, and amounts billed for shipping and handling costs. We generally receive the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale. Related royalty overrides and allowances for product returns are recorded when revenue is recognized.

Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with our buyback program, are provided at the time the product is shipped. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Historically, product returns and buybacks have not been significant. Product returns and buybacks were approximately 0.4% of retail sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

We record reserves against our inventory to provide for estimated obsolete or unsalable inventory based on assumptions regarding future demand for our products and market conditions. If future demand and market conditions are less favorable than management’s assumptions, additional reserves could be required. Likewise, favorable future demand and market conditions could positively impact future operating results if previously reserved for inventory is sold. We reserved for obsolete and slow moving inventory totaling $10.8 million and $9.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Goodwill and marketing related intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment, and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. In order to estimate the fair value of goodwill, we primarily use the discounted cash flow model, known as the income approach. The determination of impairment is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, we determine the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill and other intangibles over the implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a similar manner as how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. We would assign the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had goodwill of approximately $105.0 million and $102.9 million, respectively, and marketing related intangible assets of approximately $310.0 million for both periods. No marketing related intangibles or goodwill impairment was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Contingencies are accounted for in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, or ASC 450. ASC 450 requires that we record an estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies such as legal and income tax matters requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. Many of these legal and tax contingencies can take years to be resolved. Generally, as the time period increases over which the uncertainties are resolved, the likelihood of changes to the estimate of the ultimate outcome increases.

Deferred income tax assets have been established for net operating loss carryforwards of certain foreign subsidiaries and have been reduced by a valuation allowance to reflect them at amounts estimated to be ultimately realized. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts over a future period of time. Realization of the income tax carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that the net carrying value of the income tax carryforwards will be realized. The amount of the income tax carryforwards that is considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are adjusted. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the tax law and ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate prior to the completion and filing of tax returns for such periods. This process requires estimating both our geographic mix of income and our uncertain tax positions in each jurisdiction where we operate. These estimates involve complex issues and require us to make judgments about the likely application of the tax law to our situation, as well as with respect to other matters, such as anticipating the positions that we will take on tax returns prior to our actually preparing the returns and the outcomes of disputes with tax authorities. The ultimate resolution of these issues may take extended periods of time due to examinations by tax authorities and statutes of limitations. In addition, changes in our business, including acquisitions, changes in our international corporate structure, changes in the geographic location of business functions or assets, changes in the geographic mix and amount of income, as well as changes in our agreements with tax authorities, valuation allowances, applicable accounting rules, applicable tax laws and regulations, rulings and interpretations thereof, developments in tax audit and other matters, and variations in the estimated and actual level of annual pre-tax income can affect the overall effective income tax rate.

We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740, which provides guidance on the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, we must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

We account for share-based compensation in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating our stock price volatility and employee stock award exercise behaviors. Our expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of our common shares and, due to the limited period of public trading data for our common shares, it is also validated against the volatility of a company peer group. The expected life of awards is based on the simple average of the average vesting period and the life of the award, or the simplified method. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the Statements of Income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. If actual forfeitures differ from estimates, additional expense or reversal of previous expense are recorded. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.

We account for foreign currency transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. In a majority of the countries where we operate, the functional currency is the local currency. Our foreign subsidiaries’ asset and liability accounts are translated for consolidated financial reporting purposes into U.S. dollar amounts at year-end exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average rates during the year. Our foreign exchange translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses and foreign currency remeasurements are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for information on new accounting pronouncements.


Item 3.		*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk*

We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. On a selected basis, we use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge these risks. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to written guidelines and procedures.

We have adopted FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, which established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair-value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the underlying hedged item are recognized concurrently in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash-flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. ASC 815 defines the requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized concurrently in earnings.

A discussion of our primary market risk exposures and derivatives is presented below.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We transact business globally and are subject to risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to minimize the impact to earnings and cash flow fluctuations associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We enter into foreign exchange derivatives in the ordinary course of business primarily to reduce exposure to currency fluctuations attributable to intercompany transactions, translation of local currency revenue, inventory purchases subject to foreign currency exposure, and to partially mitigate the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Due to the recent significant volatility in the foreign exchange market, our current strategy, in general, is to hedge some of the significant exposures on a short-term basis. We will continue to monitor the foreign exchange market and evaluate our hedging strategy accordingly. With the exception of our foreign exchange forward contracts relating to forecasted inventory purchases and intercompany management fees as discussed below in this section, all of our foreign exchange contracts are designated as free standing derivatives for which hedge accounting does not apply. The changes in the fair market value of the derivatives not qualifying as cash flow hedges are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

The foreign exchange forward contracts designated as free standing derivatives are used to hedge advances between subsidiaries and to partially mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign exchange average rate option contracts are also used to mitigate the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations. The objective of these contracts is to neutralize the impact of foreign currency movements on the operating results of our subsidiaries. The fair value of forward and option contracts is based on third-party bank quotes.

We designate as cash-flow hedges those foreign currency forward contracts we entered into to hedge forecasted inventory purchases and intercompany management fees that are subject to foreign currency exposures. For the forecasted inventory purchases, the forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted inventory purchases over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts, excluding forward points, designated as cash-flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity, and are recognized in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of income during the period which approximates the time the hedged inventory is sold. We also hedge forecasted intercompany management fees over specific months. These contracts allow us to sell Euros in exchange for U.S. dollars at specified contract rates. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity, and are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income in the period when the hedged item and underlying transaction affects earnings.

As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the aggregate notional amounts of cash-flow designated hedge contracts outstanding were approximately $33.0 million and $32.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2011, the outstanding contracts were expected to mature over the next twelve months. Our derivative financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value based on third-party bank quotes. As of June 30, 2011, we recorded liabilities at fair value of $1.9 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash-flow hedges. As of December 31, 2010, we recorded assets at fair value of $0.6 million and liabilities at fair value of $0.8 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash-flow hedges. We assess hedge effectiveness and measures hedge ineffectiveness at least quarterly. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the ineffective portion relating to these hedges was immaterial and the hedges remained effective as of June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the majority of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts had maturity dates of less than twelve months with the majority of freestanding derivatives expiring within one month and three months, respectively. There were no foreign currency option contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Most of our foreign subsidiaries designate their local currencies as their functional currencies. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total amount of our foreign subsidiary cash was $251.1 million and $188.2 million, respectively, of which $6.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, was invested in U.S. dollars.

Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2003 have become more restrictive and have impacted the ability of our subsidiary in Venezuela, or Herbalife Venezuela, to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan Bolivars, or Bolivars, at the official foreign exchange rates from the Venezuelan government and its foreign exchange commission, CADIVI. The application and approval processes have been intermittently delayed and the timing and ability to obtain U.S. dollars at the official exchange rates remains uncertain. In certain instances, we have made appropriate applications through CADIVI for approval to obtain U.S. dollars so that Herbalife Venezuela can pay for imported products and an annual dividend, at the official exchange rate. As an alternative exchange mechanism, we have also participated in certain bond offerings from the Venezuelan government and from Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. or PDVSA, a Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company, where we effectively purchased bonds with our Bolivars and then sold the bonds for U.S. dollars. In other instances, we used a legal but less favorable parallel market mechanism for currency exchange. In May 2010, this less favorable parallel market was discontinued.

In late December 2010, Venezuela announced that the CADIVI official exchange rate of 2.6 Bolivars per U.S. dollar would be eliminated and the CADIVI official exchange of 4.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar would be used for all essential items and non-essential items beginning January 2011. This devaluation did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2011, we used the SITME rate of 5.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar for remeasurement purposes. See Part I, Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a further discussion on how the currency restrictions in Venezuela have impacted Herbalife Venezuela’s operations and Venezuela’s highly inflationary economy.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2011, $158.0 million of borrowings under the New Credit Facility is expected to mature and expire on March 9, 2016. The fair value of our senior secured credit facility approximates the New Credit Facility’s carrying value of $158.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and the Prior Credit Facility’s carrying value of $174.9 million as of December 31, 2010. The New Credit Facility bears, and the Prior Credit Facility bore, a variable interest rate, and on June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the weighted average interest rate of the New Credit Facility and the Prior Credit Facility was 1.97% and 1.75%, respectively.

During August 2009, we entered into four interest rate swap agreements with an effective date of December 31, 2009. The agreements collectively provide for us to pay interest for less than a four-year period at a weighted average fixed rate of 2.78% on notional amounts aggregating to $140.0 million while receiving interest for the same period at the one month LIBOR rate on the same notional amounts. These agreements will expire in July 2013. These swaps at inception were designated as cash flow hedges against the variability in the LIBOR interest rate on our prior term loan or against the variability in the LIBOR interest rate on the replacement debt. Our term loan under the Prior Credit Facility was terminated in March 2011 and refinanced with the New Credit Facility with a LIBOR interest rate as discussed further in Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our swaps remain effective and continue to be designated as cash flow hedges against the variability in the LIBOR interest rate on the New Credit Facility at LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.50%, fixing our weighted average effective rate on the notional amounts at 4.28% to 5.28%. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recorded as result of this refinancing event.

We formally assess, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. As of June 30, 2011, the hedge relationships qualified as effective hedges under the ASC 815. Consequently, all changes in the fair value of the derivatives are deferred and recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the related forecasted transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are based on third-party bank quotes and we recorded the interest rate swaps as a liability at fair value of $6.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.		*Legal Proceedings*

See discussion under Note 5, Contingencies, to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 1A.		RISK FACTORS

The worldwide financial and economic “crisis” could negatively impact our access to credit and the sales of our products and could harm our financial condition and operating results.

We are closely monitoring various aspects of the current worldwide financial and economic “crisis” and its potential impact on us, our liquidity, our access to capital, our operations and our overall financial condition. While we have historically met our funding needs utilizing cash flow from operating activities and while we believe we will have sufficient resources to meet current debt service obligations in a timely manner, no assurances can be given that the current overall downturn in the world economy will not significantly adversely impact us and our business operations. We note economic and financial markets are fluid and we cannot ensure that there will not be in the near future a material adverse deterioration in our sales or liquidity. While our current senior secured variable credit facility can also be used to support our current liquidity requirements, increases in interest rates could negatively affect the cost of financing our operations if our future borrowings were to increase.

Our failure to establish and maintain distributor relationships for any reason could negatively impact sales of our products and harm our financial condition and operating results.

We distribute our products exclusively through approximately 2.3 million independent distributors, and we depend upon them directly for substantially all of our sales. To increase our revenue, we must increase the number of, or the productivity of, our distributors. Accordingly, our success depends in significant part upon our ability to recruit, retain and motivate a large base of distributors. The loss of a significant number of distributors for any reason could negatively impact sales of our products and could impair our ability to attract new distributors. In our efforts to attract and retain distributors, we compete with other network marketing organizations, including those in the weight management, dietary and nutritional supplement and personal care and cosmetic product industries. Our operating results could be harmed if our existing and new business opportunities and products do not generate sufficient interest to retain existing distributors and attract new distributors.

Our distributor organization has a high turnover rate, which is a common characteristic found in the direct selling industry. In light of this fact, we have our sales leaders re-qualify annually in order to maintain a more accurate count of their numbers. For the latest twelve month re-qualification period ending January 2011, approximately 49% of our sales leaders re-qualified. Distributors who purchase our product for personal consumption or for short-term income goals may stay with us for several months to one year. Sales leaders who have committed time and effort to build a sales organization will generally stay for longer periods. Distributors have highly variable levels of training, skills and capabilities. The turnover rate of our distributors, and our operating results, can be adversely impacted if we, and our senior distributor leadership, do not provide the necessary mentoring, training and business support tools for new distributors to become successful sales people in a short period of time.

We estimate that, of our approximately 2.3 million independent distributors, we had approximately 428,000 sales leaders as of June 30, 2011. These sales leaders, together with their downline sales organizations, account for substantially all of our revenues. Our distributors, including our sales leaders, may voluntarily terminate their distributor agreements with us at any time. The loss of a group of leading sales leaders, together with their downline sales organizations, or the loss of a significant number of distributors for any reason, could negatively impact sales of our products, impair our ability to attract new distributors and harm our financial condition and operating results.

Since we cannot exert the same level of influence or control over our independent distributors as we could were they our own employees, our distributors could fail to comply with our distributor policies and procedures, which could result in claims against us that could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Excluding our China sales employees, our distributors are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to directly provide the same direction, motivation and oversight as we would if distributors were our own employees. As a result, there can be no assurance that our distributors will participate in our marketing strategies or plans, accept our introduction of new products, or comply with our distributor policies and procedures.

Extensive federal, state and local laws regulate our business, products and network marketing program. Because we have expanded into foreign countries, our policies and procedures for our independent distributors differ due to the different legal requirements of each country in which we do business. While we have implemented distributor policies and procedures designed to govern distributor conduct and to protect the goodwill associated with Herbalife trademarks and tradenames, it can be difficult to enforce these policies and procedures because of the large number of distributors and their independent status. Violations by our independent distributors of applicable law or of our policies and procedures in dealing with customers could reflect negatively on our products and operations and harm our business reputation. In addition, it is possible that a court could hold us civilly or criminally accountable based on vicarious liability because of the actions of our independent distributors.

Adverse publicity associated with our products, ingredients or network marketing program, or those of similar companies, could harm our financial condition and operating results.

The size of our distribution force and the results of our operations may be significantly affected by the public’s perception of the Company and similar companies. This perception is dependent upon opinions concerning:

•

the safety and quality of our products and ingredients;

•

the safety and quality of similar products and ingredients distributed by other companies;

•

our distributors;

•

our network marketing program; and

•

the direct selling business generally.

Adverse publicity concerning any actual or purported failure of our Company or our independent distributors to comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding product claims and advertising, good manufacturing practices, the regulation of our network marketing program, the licensing of our products for sale in our target markets or other aspects of our business, whether or not resulting in enforcement actions or the imposition of penalties, could have an adverse effect on the goodwill of our Company and could negatively affect our ability to attract, motivate and retain distributors, which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue. We cannot ensure that all distributors will comply with applicable legal requirements relating to the advertising, labeling, licensing or distribution of our products.

In addition, our distributors’ and consumers’ perception of the safety and quality of our products and ingredients as well as similar products and ingredients distributed by other companies can be significantly influenced by media attention, publicized scientific research or findings, widespread product liability claims and other publicity concerning our products or ingredients or similar products and ingredients distributed by other companies. For example, in May 2008 public allegations were made that certain of our products contain excessive amounts of lead thereby triggering disclosure and labeling requirements under California Proposition 65. Following an investigation, these allegations were publicly withdrawn by the allegations initiator. While we have confidence in our products because they fall within FDA suggested guidelines as well as applicable state regulations for the amount of lead that consumers can safely ingest and do not believe they trigger disclosure or labeling requirements under California Proposition 65, negative publicity such as this can disrupt our business. Adverse publicity, whether or not accurate or resulting from consumers’ use or misuse of our products, that associates consumption of our products or ingredients or any similar products or ingredients with illness or other adverse effects, questions the benefits of our or similar products or claims that any such products are ineffective, inappropriately labeled or have inaccurate instructions as to their use, could lead to lawsuits or other legal challenges and could negatively impact our reputation, the market demand for our products, or our general business.

From time to time we receive inquiries from government agencies and third parties requesting information concerning our products. We fully cooperate with these inquiries including, when requested, by the submission of detailed technical dossiers addressing product composition, manufacturing, process control, quality assurance, and contaminant testing. We understand that such materials are undergoing review by regulators in certain markets. Further, we periodically respond to requests from regulators for additional information regarding product-specific adverse events. We are confident in the safety of our products when used as directed. However, there can be no assurance that regulators in these or other markets will not take actions that might delay or prevent the introduction of new products, or require the reformulation or the temporary or permanent withdrawal of certain of our existing products from their markets.

Adverse publicity relating to us, our products or our operations, including our network marketing program or the attractiveness or viability of the financial opportunities provided thereby, has had, and could again have, a negative effect on our ability to attract, motivate and retain distributors. In the mid-1980’s, our products and marketing program became the subject of regulatory scrutiny in the United States, resulting in large part from claims and representations made about our products by our independent distributors, including impermissible therapeutic claims. The resulting adverse publicity caused a rapid, substantial loss of distributors in the United States and a corresponding reduction in sales beginning in 1985. We expect that negative publicity will, from time to time, continue to negatively impact our business in particular markets.

Our failure to appropriately respond to changing consumer preferences and demand for new products or product enhancements could significantly harm our distributor and customer relationships and product sales and harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our business is subject to changing consumer trends and preferences, especially with respect to weight management products. Our continued success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes, and we may not respond in a timely or commercially appropriate manner to such changes. Furthermore, the nutritional supplement industry is characterized by rapid and frequent changes in demand for products and new product introductions and enhancements. Our failure to accurately predict these trends could negatively impact consumer opinion of our products, which in turn could harm our customer and distributor relationships and cause the loss of sales. The success of our new product offerings and enhancements depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to:

	•		accurately anticipate customer needs;

	•		innovate and develop new products or product enhancements that meet these needs;

•

successfully commercialize new products or product enhancements in a timely manner;

•

price our products competitively;

•

manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and in a timely manner; and

•

differentiate our product offerings from those of our competitors.

If we do not introduce new products or make enhancements to meet the changing needs of our customers in a timely manner, some of our products could be rendered obsolete, which could negatively impact our revenues, financial condition and operating results.

Due to the high level of competition in our industry, we might fail to retain our customers and distributors, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.

The business of marketing weight management and nutrition products is highly competitive and sensitive to the introduction of new products or weight management plans, including various prescription drugs, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. These market segments include numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers, retailers and physicians that actively compete for the business of consumers both in the United States and abroad. In addition, we anticipate that we will be subject to increasing competition in the future from sellers that utilize electronic commerce. Some of these competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and sales resources, greater name recognition, larger established customer bases and better-developed distribution channels than we do. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products that are comparable or superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies, evolving industry trends and standards or customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. For example, if our competitors develop other diet or weight loss treatments that prove to be more effective than our products, demand for our products could be reduced. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets and competition may intensify.

We are also subject to significant competition for the recruitment of distributors from other network marketing organizations, including those that market weight management products, dietary and nutritional supplements and personal care products as well as other types of products. We compete for global customers and distributors with regard to weight management, nutritional supplement and personal care products. Our competitors include both direct selling companies such as NuSkin Enterprises, Nature’s Sunshine, Alticor/Amway, Melaleuca, Avon Products, Oriflame, Tupperware and Mary Kay, as well as retail establishments such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, General Nutrition Centers, Wal-Mart and retail pharmacies.

In addition, because the industry in which we operate is not particularly capital intensive or otherwise subject to high barriers to entry, it is relatively easy for new competitors to emerge who will compete with us for our distributors and customers. In addition, the fact that our distributors may easily enter and exit our network marketing program contributes to the level of competition that we face. For example, a distributor can enter or exit our network marketing system with relative ease at any time without facing a significant investment or loss of capital because (1) we have a low upfront financial cost to become a Herbalife distributor, (2) we do not require any specific amount of time to work as a distributor, (3) we do not insist on any special training to be a distributor and (4) we do not prohibit a new distributor from working with another company. Our ability to remain competitive therefore depends, in significant part, on our success in recruiting and retaining distributors through an attractive compensation plan, the maintenance of an attractive product portfolio and other incentives. We cannot ensure that our programs for recruitment and retention of distributors will be successful and if they are not, our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

We are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints both domestically and abroad, and our failure or our distributors’ failure to comply with these constraints could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

In both domestic and foreign markets, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, exportation, licensing, sale and storage of our products are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. Such laws, regulations and other constraints may exist at the federal, state or local levels in the United States and at all levels of government in foreign jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that we or our distributors are in compliance with all of these regulations. Our failure or our distributors’ failure to comply with these regulations or new regulations could disrupt our distributors’ sale of our products, or lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims and could negatively impact our business. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may negatively impact the marketing of our products, resulting in significant loss of sales revenues.

In April 2006, the FTC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking which, if implemented in its originally proposed form, would have regulated all sellers of “business opportunities” in the United States. As originally proposed this rule would have applied to us and, if adopted in its originally proposed form, could have adversely impacted our U.S. business. On March 18, 2008, the FTC issued a revised proposed rule and, as indicated in the announcement accompanying the proposed rule, the revised proposal does not attempt to cover multilevel marketing companies such as Herbalife. If the revised rule were implemented as it is now proposed, we believe that it would not significantly impact our U.S. business. Based on information currently available, we anticipate that the rule may become final within the year.

The FTC has approved revisions to its Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, or Guides, which became effective on December 1, 2009. Although the Guides are not binding, they explain how the FTC interprets Section 5 of the FTC Act’s prohibition on unfair or deceptive acts or practices. Consequently, the FTC could bring a Section 5 enforcement action based on practices that are inconsistent with the Guides. Under the revised Guides, advertisements that feature a consumer and convey his or her atypical experience with a product or service will be required to clearly disclose the results that consumers can generally expect. In contrast to the 1980 version of the Guides, which allowed advertisers to describe atypical results in a testimonial as long as they included a disclaimer such as “results not typical”, the revised Guides no longer contain such a safe harbor. The revised Guides also add new examples to illustrate the long-standing principle that “material connections” between advertisers and endorsers (such as payments or free products), connections that consumers might not expect, must be disclosed. Herbalife has revised its marketing materials to be compliant with the revised Guides. However, it is possible that our use, and that of our independent distributors, of testimonials in the advertising and promotion of our products, including but not limited to our weight management products and of our income opportunity will be significantly impacted and therefore might negatively impact our sales.

Governmental regulations in countries where we plan to commence or expand operations may prevent or delay entry into those markets. In addition, our ability to sustain satisfactory levels of sales in our markets is dependent in significant part on our ability to introduce additional products into such markets. However, governmental regulations in our markets, both domestic and international, can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of certain of our products. Any such regulatory action, whether or not it results in a final determination adverse to us, could create negative publicity, with detrimental effects on the motivation and recruitment of distributors and, consequently, on sales.

The FDA has published its final rule for current good manufacturing practice, or cGMPs, for the manufacture, packing, labeling and holding of dietary supplements distributed in the United States. Herbalife has implemented a comprehensive quality assurance program that is designed to maintain compliance with the cGMPs for dietary supplements manufactured by or on behalf of Herbalife for distribution in the United States. However, if Herbalife should be found not to be in compliance with cGMPs for the products it self-manufactures it could negatively impact our reputation and ability to sell our products even after any such situation had been rectified. Further, if contract manufacturers whose products bear Herbalife labels fail to comply with the cGMPs, this could negatively impact Herbalife’s reputation and ability to sell its products even though Herbalife is not directly liable under the cGMPs for such compliance. In complying with the dietary supplement cGMPs, we have experienced increases in some product costs as a result of the necessary increase in testing of raw ingredients and finished products and this may cause us to seek alternate suppliers.

Our network marketing program could be found to be not in compliance with current or newly adopted laws or regulations in one or more markets, which could prevent us from conducting our business in these markets and harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our network marketing program is subject to a number of federal and state regulations administered by the FTC and various state agencies in the United States as well as regulations on direct selling in foreign markets administered by foreign agencies. We are subject to the risk that, in one or more markets, our network marketing program could be found not to be in compliance with applicable law or regulations. Regulations applicable to network marketing organizations generally are directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” or “chain sales” schemes, by ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within an organization is based on sales of the organization’s products rather than investments in the organization or other non-retail sales-related criteria. The regulatory requirements concerning network marketing programs do not include “bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based and, thus, we are subject to the risk that these laws or regulations or the enforcement or interpretation of these laws and regulations by governmental agencies or courts can change. The failure of our network marketing program to comply with current or newly adopted regulations could negatively impact our business in a particular market or in general.

We are also subject to the risk of private party challenges to the legality of our network marketing program. The multi-level marketing programs of other companies have been successfully challenged in the past and in a current lawsuit allegations have been made challenging the legality of our network marketing program in Belgium. Test Ankoop-Test Achat, a Belgian consumer protection organization, sued Herbalife International Belgium, S.V., or HIB, on August 26, 2004, alleging that HIB violated Article 84 of the Belgian Fair Trade Practices Act by engaging in pyramid selling, i.e., establishing a network of professional or non-professional sales people who hope to make a profit more through the expansion of that network rather than through the sale of products to end-consumers. The plaintiff is seeking a payment of €25,000 (equal to approximately $36,000 as of June 30, 2011) per purported violation as well as costs of the trial. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our net sales in Belgium were approximately $16.8 million. The plaintiffs filed their initial brief on September 27, 2005 and on May 9, 2006 we filed a reply brief. On December 9, 2008 plaintiffs filed a responsive brief and on June 24, 2009 we filed a reply brief. An oral hearing was held on November 3, 2010. The Court issued an interim judgment on November 24, 2010 ordering the parties to address a change in the underlying Belgian statute. A hearing was held on May 11, 2011 and the Court issued an interim judgment on June 15, 2011 in which it asked for additional briefing from the parties. We expect this additional briefing to take place before the end of the year. An adverse judicial determination with respect to our network marketing program, or in proceedings not involving us directly but which challenge the legality of multi-level marketing systems, in Belgium or in any other market in which we operate, could negatively impact our business. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the suit.

On April 16, 2007 Herbalife International of America, Inc. filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain former Herbalife distributors who had left the Company to join a competitor. The Complaint alleged breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, intentional interference with contract, unfair competition, constructive trust and fraud and seeks monetary damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief (Herbalife International of America, Inc. v. Robert E. Ford, et al). The court entered a Preliminary Injunction against the defendants enjoining them from further use and/or misappropriation of the Company’s trade secrets on December 11, 2007. Defendants appealed the court’s entry of the Preliminary Injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. That court affirmed, in relevant part, the Preliminary Injunction. On December 3, 2007 the defendants filed a counterclaim alleging that the Company had engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices, intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, false advertising and that the Company was an endless chain scheme in violation of California law and seeking restitution, contract rescission and an injunction. Both sides engaged in discovery and filed cross motions for Summary Judgment. On August 25, 2009 the court granted partial summary judgment for Herbalife on all of defendants’ claims except the claim that the Company is an endless chain scheme which under applicable law is a question of fact that can only be determined at trial. The court denied defendants’ motion for Summary Judgment on Herbalife’s claims for misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract. On May 5, 2010, the District Court granted summary judgment for Herbalife on defendants’ endless chain-scheme counterclaim. Herbalife voluntarily dismissed its remaining claims, and on May 14, 2010 the District Court issued a final judgment dismissing all of the parties’ claims. On June 10, 2010 the defendants appealed from that judgment and on June 21, 2010 Herbalife cross-appealed. The parties entered a joint stipulation of dismissal with the Court on May 24, 2011.

A substantial portion of our business is conducted in foreign markets, exposing us to the risks of trade or foreign exchange restrictions, increased tariffs, foreign currency fluctuations, disruptions or conflicts with our third party importers and similar risks associated with foreign operations.

Approximately 78% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010, were generated outside the United States, exposing our business to risks associated with foreign operations. For example, a foreign government may impose trade or foreign exchange restrictions or increased tariffs, which could negatively impact our operations. We are also exposed to risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. For instance, purchases from suppliers are generally made in U.S. dollars while sales to distributors are generally made in local currencies. Accordingly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus a foreign currency could have a negative impact on us. Although we engage in transactions to protect against risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations, we cannot be certain any hedging activity will effectively reduce our exchange rate exposure. Additionally we may be negatively impacted by conflicts with or disruptions caused or faced by our third party importers, as well as conflicts between such importers and local governments or regulating agencies. Our operations in some markets also may be adversely affected by political, economic and social instability in foreign countries. As we continue to focus on expanding our existing international operations, these and other risks associated with international operations may increase, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2003 have become more restrictive and have impacted the ability of our subsidiary in Venezuela, or Herbalife Venezuela, to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan Bolivars, or Bolivars, at the official foreign exchange rates from the Venezuelan government and its foreign exchange commission, CADIVI. The application and approval processes have been intermittently delayed and the timing and ability to obtain U.S. dollars at the official exchange rates remains uncertain. In certain instances, we have made appropriate applications through CADIVI for approval to obtain U.S. dollars so that Herbalife Venezuela can pay for imported products and an annual dividend, at the official exchange rate. As an alternative exchange mechanism, we have also participated in certain bond offerings from the Venezuelan government and from Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. or PDVSA, a Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company, where we effectively purchased bonds with our Bolivars and then sold the bonds for U.S. dollars. In other instances, we used a lawful but less favorable parallel market mechanism for currency exchange. In May 2010, this less favorable parallel market was discontinued.

In June 2010, the Venezuelan government introduced additional regulations under a newly regulated system, SITME, which is controlled by the Central Bank of Venezuela. SITME provides a mechanism to exchange Bolivars into U.S. dollars through the purchase and sale of U.S. dollar denominated bonds issued in Venezuela. However, SITME is only available in certain limited circumstances. Specifically, SITME can only be used for product purchases and it is not available for other matters such as the payment of dividends. Also, SITME can only be used for amounts of up to $50,000 per day and $350,000 per month and is generally only available to the extent that the applicant has not exchanged and received U.S. dollars via the CADIVI process within the previous 90 days. While we currently plan to continue to import products into Venezuela and exchange Bolivars for U.S. dollars based on the exchange mechanisms prescribed by the Venezuelan government, if the current currency restrictions are not lifted or eased, our product supplies in the Venezuelan market may be limited and we may make changes to Herbalife Venezuela’s operations each of which could negatively impact our business.

If the foreign currency restrictions in Venezuela intensify or do not improve, we may be required to deconsolidate Herbalife Venezuela for U.S. GAAP purposes and would be subject to the risk of impairment. If any of these events were to occur it could result in a negative impact to our consolidated earnings. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, within our 2010 10-K for a further discussion on Venezuela.

Our expansion in China is subject to general, as well as industry-specific, economic, political and legal developments and risks in China and requires that we utilize a different business model from that which we use elsewhere in the world.

Our expansion of operations into China is subject to risks and uncertainties related to general economic, political and legal developments in China, among other things. The Chinese government exercises significant control over the Chinese economy, including but not limited to controlling capital investments, allocating resources, setting monetary policy, controlling foreign exchange and monitoring foreign exchange rates, implementing and overseeing tax regulations, providing preferential treatment to certain industry segments or companies and issuing necessary licenses to conduct business. Accordingly, any adverse change in the Chinese economy, the Chinese legal system or Chinese governmental, economic or other policies could have a material adverse effect on our business in China and our prospects generally.

In 2005, China published regulations governing direct selling and prohibiting pyramid promotional schemes, and a number of administrative methods and proclamations were issued in 2005 and in 2006. These regulations require us to use a business model different from that which we offer in other markets. To allow us to operate under these regulations, we have created and introduced a model specifically for China. In China, we have Company-operated retail stores that sell through employed sales personnel to customers and preferred customers. We provide training and certification procedures for sales personnel in China. We also have non-employee sales representatives who sell through our retail stores. Our sales representatives are permitted by the terms of our direct selling licenses to sell away from fixed retail locations in the provinces of Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shandong, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Beijing, Fujian, Sichuan, Hubei, Shanxi, Shanghai, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Henan, and Chongqing. We have also engaged independent service providers that meet both the requirements to operate their own business under Chinese law as well as the conditions set forth by Herbalife to sell products and provide services to Herbalife customers. These features are not common to the business model we employ elsewhere in the world, and based on the direct selling licenses we have received and the terms of those which we hope to receive in the future to conduct a direct selling enterprise in China, our business model in China will continue in some part to incorporate such features. The direct selling regulations require us to apply for various approvals to conduct a direct selling enterprise in China. The process for obtaining the necessary licenses to conduct a direct selling business is protracted and cumbersome and involves multiple layers of Chinese governmental authorities and numerous governmental employees at each layer. While direct selling licenses are centrally issued, such licenses are generally valid only in the jurisdictions within which related approvals have been obtained. Such approvals are generally awarded on local and provincial bases, and the approval process requires involvement with multiple ministries at each level. Our participation and conduct during the approval process is guided not only by distinct Chinese practices and customs, but is also subject to applicable laws of China and the other jurisdictions in which we operate our business, including the U.S., as well as our internal code of ethics. There is always a risk that in attempting to comply with local customs and practices in China during the application process or otherwise, we will fail to comply with requirements applicable to us in China itself or in other jurisdictions, and any such failure to comply with applicable requirements could prevent us from obtaining the direct selling licenses or related local or provincial approvals. Furthermore, we rely on certain key personnel in China to assist us during the approval process, and the loss of any such key personnel could delay or hinder our ability to obtain licenses or related approvals. For all of the above reasons, there can be no assurance that we will obtain additional direct-selling licenses, or obtain related approvals to expand into any or all of the localities or provinces in China that are important to our business. Our inability to obtain, retain, or renew any or all of the licenses or related approvals that are required for us to operate in China could negatively impact our business.

Additionally, although certain regulations have been published with respect to obtaining such approvals, operating under such approvals and otherwise conducting business in China, other regulations are pending, and there is uncertainty regarding the interpretation and enforcement of Chinese regulations. The regulatory environment in China is evolving, and officials in the Chinese government exercise broad discretion in deciding how to interpret and apply regulations. We cannot be certain that our business model will continue to be deemed by national or local Chinese regulatory authorities to be compliant with any such regulations. The Chinese government rigorously monitors the direct selling market in China, and in the past has taken serious action against companies that the government believed were engaging in activities they regarded to be in violation of applicable law, including shutting down their businesses and imposing substantial fines. As a result, there can be no guarantee that the Chinese government’s current or future interpretation and application of the existing and new regulations will not negatively impact our business in China, result in regulatory investigations or lead to fines or penalties against us or our Chinese distributors.

Chinese regulations prevent persons who are not Chinese nationals from engaging in direct selling in China. We cannot guarantee that any of our distributors living outside of China or any of our sales representatives, employed sales personnel or independent service providers in China have not engaged or will not engage in activities that violate our policies in this market, or that violate Chinese law or other applicable law, and therefore result in regulatory action and adverse publicity.

China enacted a labor contract law which took effect January 1, 2008 and on September 18, 2008 an implementing regulation took effect. On October 28, 2010 China enacted a social insurance law that came into effect on July 1, 2011. We have reviewed our employment contracts and contractual relations with employees in China, which include certain of our employed sales personnel, and have transferred those employed sales personnel into independent service providers and have made such other changes as we believe to be necessary or appropriate to bring these contracts and contractual relations into compliance with these laws and their implementing regulations. In addition, we continue to monitor the situation to determine how these laws and regulations will be implemented in practice. There is no guarantee that these laws will not adversely impact us, require us to change our treatment of our employed sales personnel, cause us to change our operating plan for China or otherwise have an adverse impact on our business operations in China.

If our operations in China are successful, we may experience rapid growth in China, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully manage rapid expansion of manufacturing operations and a rapidly growing and dynamic sales force. There also can be no assurances that we will not experience difficulties in dealing with or taking employment related actions (such as hiring, terminations and salary administration, including social benefit payments) with respect to our employed sales personnel, particularly given the highly regulated nature of the employment relationship in China. If we are unable to effectively manage such growth and expansion of our retail stores, manufacturing operations or our employed sales personnel, our government relations may be compromised and our operations in China may be harmed.

Our China business model, particularly with regard to sales management responsibilities and remuneration, differs from our traditional business model. There is a risk that such changes and transitions may not be understood by our distributors or employees, may be viewed negatively by our distributors or employees, or may not be correctly utilized by our distributors or employees. If that is the case, our business could be negatively impacted.

If we fail to further penetrate existing markets or successfully expand our business into new markets, then the growth in sales of our products, along with our operating results, could be negatively impacted.

The success of our business is to a large extent contingent on our ability to continue to grow by entering new markets and further penetrating existing markets. Our ability to further penetrate existing markets or to successfully expand our business into additional countries in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, South America or elsewhere, to the extent we believe that we have identified attractive geographic expansion opportunities in the future, is subject to numerous factors, many of which are out of our control.

In addition, government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, our ability to increase market penetration in certain countries may be limited by the finite number of persons in a given country inclined to pursue a direct selling business opportunity or consumers willing to purchase Herbalife products. Moreover, our growth will depend upon improved training and other activities that enhance distributor retention in our markets. While we have recently experienced significant growth in certain of our markets, we cannot assure you that such growth levels will continue in the immediate or long term future. Furthermore, our efforts to support growth in such international markets could be hampered to the extent that our infrastructure in such markets is deficient when compared to our more developed markets, such as the U.S. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our general efforts to increase our market penetration and distributor retention in existing markets will be successful. If we are unable to continue to expand into new markets or further penetrate existing markets, our operating results could suffer.

Our contractual obligation to sell our products only through our Herbalife distributor network and to refrain from changing certain aspects of our marketing plan may limit our growth.

We are a party to an agreement with our distributors that provides assurances that we will not sell Herbalife products through any distribution channel other than our network of independent Herbalife distributors. Thus, we are contractually prohibited from expanding our business by selling Herbalife products through other distribution channels that may be available to our competitors, such as over the internet, through wholesale sales, by establishing retail stores or through mail order systems. Since this is an open-ended commitment, there can be no assurance that we will be able to take advantage of innovative new distribution channels that are developed in the future.

In addition, this agreement with our distributors provides that we will not change certain aspects of our marketing plan without the consent of a specified percentage of our distributors. For example, our agreement with our distributors provides that we may increase, but not decrease, the discount percentages available to our distributors for the purchase of products or the applicable royalty override percentages, including roll-ups, and production and other bonus percentages available to our distributors at various qualification levels within our distributor hierarchy. We may not modify the eligibility or qualification criteria for these discounts, royalty overrides and production and other bonuses unless we do so in a manner to make eligibility and/or qualification easier than under the applicable criteria in effect as of the date of the agreement. Our agreement with our distributors further provides that we may not vary the criteria for qualification for each distributor tier within our distributor hierarchy, unless we do so in such a way so as to make qualification easier.

Although we reserved the right to make these changes to our marketing plan without the consent of our distributors in the event that changes are required by applicable law or are necessary in our reasonable business judgment to account for specific local market or currency conditions to achieve a reasonable profit on operations, there can be no assurance that our agreement with our distributors will not restrict our ability to adapt our marketing plan to the evolving requirements of the markets in which we operate. As a result, our growth may be limited.

We depend on the integrity and reliability of our information technology infrastructure, and any related inadequacies may result in substantial interruptions to our business.

Our ability to provide products and services to our distributors depends on the performance and availability of our core transactional systems. We upgraded our back office systems globally to the Oracle Enterprise Suite which is supported by a robust hardware and network infrastructure. The Oracle Enterprise Suite is a scalable and stable solution that provides a solid foundation upon which we are building our next generation Distributor facing Internet toolset. While we continue to invest in our information technology infrastructure, there can be no assurance that there will not be any significant interruptions to such systems or that the systems will be adequate to meet all of our future business needs.

The most important aspect of our information technology infrastructure is the system through which we record and track distributor sales, volume points, royalty overrides, bonuses and other incentives. We have encountered, and may encounter in the future, errors in our software or our enterprise network, or inadequacies in the software and services supplied by our vendors, although to date none of these errors or inadequacies has had a meaningful adverse impact on our business. Any such errors or inadequacies that we may encounter in the future may result in substantial interruptions to our services and may damage our relationships with, or cause us to lose, our distributors if the errors or inadequacies impair our ability to track sales and pay royalty overrides, bonuses and other incentives, which would harm our financial condition and operating results. Such errors may be expensive or difficult to correct in a timely manner, and we may have little or no control over whether any inadequacies in software or services supplied to us by third parties are corrected, if at all.

Since we rely on independent third parties for the manufacture and supply of certain of our products, if these third parties fail to reliably supply products to us at required levels of quality and which are manufactured in compliance with applicable laws, including the dietary supplement cGMPs, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

The majority of our products are manufactured at third party contract manufacturers, with the exception of our products sold in China, which are manufactured in our Suzhou China facility, and certain of our top selling products which are produced in our manufacturing facility located in Lake Forest, California. It is the Company’s intention to expand the capacity of this recently acquired manufacturing facility to produce additional products for our North America and international markets. We cannot assure you that our outside contract manufacturers will continue to reliably supply products to us at the levels of quality, or the quantities, we require, and in compliance with applicable laws, including under the FDA’s cGMP regulations. While we are not presently aware of any current liquidity issues with our suppliers, we cannot assure you that they will not experience financial hardship as a result of the current global financial crisis.

Our supply contracts generally have a two-year term. Except for force majeure events such as natural disasters and other acts of God, and non-performance by Herbalife, our manufacturers generally cannot unilaterally terminate these contracts. These contracts can generally be extended by us at the end of the relevant time period and we have exercised this right in the past. Globally we have over 40 suppliers of our products. For our major products, we have both primary and secondary suppliers. Our major suppliers include Fine Foods (Italy) for meal replacements, protein powders and nutritional supplements, Valentine Enterprises (U.S.) for meal replacements and protein powders and PharmaChem Labs (U.S.) for teas and Niteworks^®. Additionally we use contract manufacturers in India, Brazil, Korea, Japan and Germany to support our global business. In the event any of our contract manufacturers were to become unable or unwilling to continue to provide us with products in required volumes and at suitable quality levels, we would be required to identify and obtain acceptable replacement manufacturing sources. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain alternative manufacturing sources on a timely basis. An extended interruption in the supply of products would result in the loss of sales. In addition, any actual or perceived degradation of product quality as a result of reliance on contract manufacturers may have an adverse effect on sales or result in increased product returns and buybacks. Also, as we experience ingredient and product price pressure in the areas of soy, dairy products, plastics, and transportation reflecting global economic trends, we believe that we have the ability to mitigate some of these cost increases through improved optimization of our supply chain coupled with select increases in the retail prices of our products.

If we fail to protect our trademarks and tradenames, then our ability to compete could be negatively affected, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademark and tradenames. We own, or have licenses to use, the material trademark and trade name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our products in the markets where those products are sold. Therefore, trademark and trade name protection is important to our business. Although most of our trademarks are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or trade name protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The loss or infringement of our trademarks or tradenames could impair the goodwill associated with our brands and harm our reputation, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.

Unlike in most of the other markets in which we operate, limited protection of intellectual property is available under Chinese law. Accordingly, we face an increased risk in China that unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain or use our trademarks, copyrights, product formulations or other intellectual property. Further, since Chinese commercial law is relatively undeveloped, we may have limited legal recourse in the event we encounter significant difficulties with intellectual property theft or infringement. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our product formulations or other intellectual property.

We permit the limited use of our trademarks by our independent distributors to assist them in the marketing of our products. It is possible that doing so may increase the risk of unauthorized use or misuse of our trademarks in markets where their registration status differs from that asserted by our independent distributors, or they may be used in association with claims or products in a manner not permitted under applicable laws and regulations. Were this to occur it is possible that this could diminish the value of these marks or otherwise impair our further use of these marks.

If our distributors fail to comply with labeling laws, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

Although the physical labeling of our products is not within the control of our independent distributors, our distributors must nevertheless advertise our products in compliance with the extensive regulations that exist in certain jurisdictions, such as the United States, which considers product advertising to be labeling for regulatory purposes.

Our products are sold principally as foods, dietary supplements and cosmetics and are subject to rigorous FDA and related legal regimens limiting the types of therapeutic claims that can be made for our products. The treatment or cure of disease, for example, is not a permitted claim for these products. While we train our distributors and attempt to monitor our distributors’ marketing materials, we cannot ensure that all such materials comply with applicable regulations, including bans on therapeutic claims. If our distributors fail to comply with these restrictions, then we and our distributors could be subjected to claims, financial penalties, mandatory product recalls or relabeling requirements, which could harm our financial condition and operating results. Although we expect that our responsibility for the actions of our independent distributors in such an instance would be dependent on a determination that we either controlled or condoned a noncompliant advertising practice, there can be no assurance that we could not be held vicariously liable for the actions of our independent distributors.

If our intellectual property is not adequate to provide us with a competitive advantage or to prevent competitors from replicating our products, or if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

Our future success and ability to compete depend upon our ability to timely produce innovative products and product enhancements that motivate our distributors and customers, which we attempt to protect under a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. However, our products are generally not patented domestically or abroad, and the legal protections afforded by common law and contractual proprietary rights in our products provide only limited protection and may be time-consuming and expensive to enforce and/or maintain. Further, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our proprietary rights or from independently developing non-infringing products that are competitive with, equivalent to and/or superior to our products.

Monitoring infringement and/or misappropriation of intellectual property can be difficult and expensive, and we may not be able to detect every infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights. Even if we do detect infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights, litigation to enforce these rights could cause us to divert financial and other resources away from our business operations. Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

Additionally, third parties may claim that products or marks that we have independently developed or which bear certain of our trademarks infringe upon their intellectual property rights and there can be no assurance that one or more of our products or marks will not be found to infringe upon third party intellectual property rights in the future. For example, in a pending action in the U.S. federal courts, the adidas companies have alleged that certain uses of Herbalife’s Tri-Leaf device mark upon sports apparel items infringe upon their “Trefoil” mark associated with such goods. They have also alleged that such uses of Herbalife’s Tri-Leaf device and certain Herbalife trademark applications constitute a breach of a 1998 agreement between the parties. The trial court has recently granted a partial summary judgment in favor of the adidas companies on its breach of contract claim, but this judgment contains no enforceable provisions directed at Herbalife’s conduct, nor does it impose monetary damages on Herbalife. We continue to contest adidas’ interpretation of the 1998 agreement and are considering an appeal of the partial summary judgment after trial on the remaining claims. We do not believe that we have breached the 1998 agreement, nor that we are infringing on any third party intellectual property rights. Nevertheless it remains possible that an adverse judgment on one or more outstanding claims might issue, awarding monetary damages and/or injunctive relief to adidas that could limit Herbalife’s ability to display its Tri-Leaf mark in connection with certain sports apparel, sports equipment, or sports-related marketing and services.

Since one of our products constitutes a significant portion of our retail sales, significant decreases in consumer demand for this product or our failure to produce a suitable replacement should we cease offering it would harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our Formula 1 meal replacement product constitutes a significant portion of our sales, accounting for approximately 28% of net sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, and approximately 29% of net sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. If consumer demand for this product decreases significantly or we cease offering this product without a suitable replacement, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

If we lose the services of members of our senior management team, then our financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

We depend on the continued services of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael O. Johnson, and our current senior management team as they work closely with the senior distributor leadership to create an environment of inspiration, motivation and entrepreneurial business success. Although we have entered into employment agreements with certain members of our senior management team, and do not believe that any of them are planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure you that our senior managers will remain with us. The loss or departure of any member of our senior management team could adversely impact our distributor relations and operating results. If any of these executives do not remain with us, our business could suffer. Also, the loss of key personnel, including our regional and country managers, could negatively impact our ability to implement our business strategy, and our continued success will also be dependent on our ability to retain existing, and attract additional, qualified personnel to meet our needs. We currently do not maintain “key person” life insurance with respect to our senior management team.

The covenants in our existing indebtedness limit our discretion with respect to certain business matters, which could limit our ability to pursue certain strategic objectives and in turn harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our credit facility contains financial and operating covenants that restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:

•

pay dividends, redeem share capital or capital stock and make other restricted payments and investments;

•

incur or guarantee additional debt;

•

impose dividend or other distribution restrictions on our subsidiaries;

•

create liens on our and our subsidiaries’ assets;

•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

•

merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.

In addition, our credit facility requires us to meet certain financial ratios and financial conditions. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default causing all amounts to become due and payable under our credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of our domestic assets, against which the lenders thereunder could proceed to foreclose.

If we do not comply with transfer pricing, customs duties, VAT, and similar regulations, then we may be subjected to additional taxes, duties, interest and penalties in material amounts, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

As a multinational corporation, in many countries including the United States we are subject to transfer pricing and other tax regulations designed to ensure that our intercompany transactions are consummated at prices that have not been manipulated to produce a desired tax result, that appropriate levels of income are reported as earned by our United States or local entities, and that we are taxed appropriately on such transactions. In addition, our operations are subject to regulations designed to ensure that appropriate levels of customs duties are assessed on the importation of our products. We are currently subject to pending or proposed audits that are at various levels of review, assessment or appeal in a number of jurisdictions involving transfer pricing issues, income taxes, customs duties, value added taxes, withholding taxes, sales and use and other taxes and related interest and penalties in material amounts. For example, we are currently appealing tax assessments in Spain, Brazil, and Mexico. In some circumstances, additional taxes, interest and penalties have been assessed and we will be required to pay the assessments or post surety, in order to challenge the assessments. The imposition of new taxes, even pass-through taxes such as VAT, could have an impact on our perceived product pricing and therefore a potential negative impact on our business. We have reserved in the consolidated financial statements an amount that we believe represents the most likely outcome of the resolution of these disputes, but if we are incorrect in our assessment we may have to pay the full amount asserted which could potentially be material. Ultimate resolution of these matters may take several years, and the outcome is uncertain. If the United States Internal Revenue Service or the taxing authorities of any other jurisdiction were to successfully challenge our transfer pricing practices or our positions regarding the payment of income taxes, customs duties, value added taxes, withholding taxes, sales and use, and other taxes, we could become subject to higher taxes and our revenue and earnings could be adversely affected. On May 13, 2011, the Mexican Tax Administration Service issued a resolution nullifying a prior assessment in an amount equivalent to approximately $97 million, translated at the period ended spot rate, for

various items, the majority of which was VAT allegedly owed on certain of our products imported into Mexico during years 2005 and 2006. The Mexican Tax Administration Service can re-issue some or all of the original assessment. The Company did not record a provision as the Company, based on analysis and guidance from its advisors, does not believe a loss would be probable if the assessment is re-issued or if any additional assessment is issued. Further, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome if the assessment was re-issued or any additional assessments were to be issued for these or other periods. We believe that we have meritorious defenses if the assessment is re-issued or would have meritorious defenses if any additional assessment is issued. Any adverse outcomes in these matters could have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results.

Changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation could adversely affect us.

A change in applicable tax laws, treaties or regulations or their interpretation could result in a higher effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings and such change could be significant to our financial results. Tax legislative proposals intending to eliminate some perceived tax advantages of companies that have legal domiciles outside the U.S. but have certain U.S. connections have repeatedly been introduced in the U.S. Congress. If these proposals are enacted, the result would increase our effective tax rate and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

We may be held responsible for certain taxes or assessments relating to the activities of our distributors, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our distributors are subject to taxation, and in some instances, legislation or governmental agencies impose an obligation on us to collect taxes, such as value added taxes, and to maintain appropriate records. In addition, we are subject to the risk in some jurisdictions of being responsible for social security and similar taxes with respect to our distributors. In the event that local laws and regulations or the interpretation of local laws and regulations change to require us to treat our independent distributors as employees, or that our distributors are deemed by local regulatory authorities in one or more of the jurisdictions in which we operate to be our employees rather than independent contractors under existing laws and interpretations, we may be held responsible for social security and related taxes in those jurisdictions, plus any related assessments and penalties, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

We may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our products consist of vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other ingredients that are classified as foods or dietary supplements and are not subject to pre-market regulatory approval in the United States. Our products could contain contaminated substances, and some of our products contain some ingredients that do not have long histories of human consumption. We rely upon published raw material, single ingredient, clinical studies and conduct limited clinical studies on some key products but not all products. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these ingredients could occur. As a marketer of dietary and nutritional supplements and other products that are ingested by consumers or applied to their bodies, we have been, and may again be, subjected to various product liability claims, including that the products contain contaminants, the products include inadequate instructions as to their uses, or the products include inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. It is possible that widespread product liability claims could increase our costs, and adversely affect our revenues and operating income. Moreover, liability claims arising from a serious adverse event may increase our costs through higher insurance premiums and deductibles, and may make it more difficult to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future. In addition, our product liability insurance may fail to cover future product liability claims, thereby requiring us to pay substantial monetary damages and adversely affecting our business. Finally, given the higher level of self-insured retentions that we have accepted under our current product liability insurance policies, which are as high as approximately $10 million, in certain cases we may be subject to the full amount of liability associated with any injuries, which could be substantial.

Several years ago, a number of states restricted the sale of dietary supplements containing botanical sources of ephedrine alkaloids and on February 6, 2004, the FDA banned the use of such ephedrine alkaloids. Until late 2002, we had sold Thermojetics^® original green herbal tablets, Thermojetics^® green herbal tablets and Thermojetics^® gold herbal tablets, all of which contained ephedrine alkaloids. Accordingly, we run the risk of product liability claims related to the ingestion of ephedrine alkaloids contained in those products. Currently, we have been named as a defendant in product liability lawsuits seeking to link the ingestion of certain of the aforementioned products to subsequent alleged medical problems suffered by plaintiffs. Although we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the allegations contained in these lawsuits, and are vigorously defending these claims, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in our defense of any or all of these matters.

We are subject to, among other things, requirements regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. In connection with these requirements, we conduct regular audits of our business and operations. Our failure to identify or correct deficiencies and areas of weakness in the course of these audits could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

We are required to comply with various corporate governance and financial reporting requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the New York Stock Exchange. In particular, we are required to include management and auditor reports on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as part of our annual reports on Form 10-K, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect to continue to spend significant amounts of time and money on compliance with these rules. Our failure to correct any noted weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting could result in the disclosure of material weaknesses which could have a material adverse effect upon the market value of our stock.

On a regular and on-going basis, we conduct audits through our internal audit department of various aspects of our business and operations. These internal audits are conducted to insure compliance with our policies and to strengthen our operations and related internal controls. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors regularly reviews the results of these internal audits and, when appropriate, suggests remedial measures and actions to correct noted deficiencies or strengthen areas of weakness. There can be no assurance that these internal audits will uncover all material deficiencies or areas of weakness in our operations or internal controls. If left undetected and uncorrected, such deficiencies and weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the results of these internal audits may necessitate that we conduct further investigations into aspects of our business or operations. In addition, our business practices and operations may periodically be investigated by one or more of the many governmental authorities with jurisdiction over our worldwide operations. In the event that these investigations produce unfavorable results, we may be subjected to fines, penalties or loss of licenses or permits needed to operate in certain jurisdictions, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results.

Holders of our common shares may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, by the Companies Law (2010 Revision, as amended), or the Companies Law, and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions in the United States. Therefore, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by our management or board of directors than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, due to the comparatively less developed nature of Cayman Islands law in this area.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies such as Herbalife have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records and accounts or to obtain copies of lists of our shareholders. Our directors have discretion under our articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

A shareholder can bring a suit personally where its individual rights have been, or are about to be, infringed. Where an action is brought to redress any loss or damage suffered by us, we would be the proper plaintiff, and a shareholder could not ordinarily maintain an action on our behalf, except where it was permitted by the courts of the Cayman Islands to proceed with a derivative action. Our Cayman Islands counsel, Maples and Calder, is not aware of any reported decisions in relation to a derivative action brought in a Cayman Islands court. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, a shareholder may be permitted to bring a claim derivatively on the Company’s behalf, where:

•

a company is acting or proposing to act illegally or outside the scope of its corporate authority;

•

the act complained of, although not acting outside the scope of its corporate authority, could be effected only if authorized by more than a simple majority vote; or

•

those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority”.

Provisions of our articles of association and Cayman Islands corporate law may impede a takeover or make it more difficult for shareholders to change the direction or management of the Company, which could reduce shareholders’ opportunity to influence management of the Company.

Our articles of association permit our board of directors to issue preference shares from time to time, with such rights and preferences as they consider appropriate. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preference shares with terms and conditions and under circumstances that could have an effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction.

In addition, our articles of association contain certain other provisions which could have an effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction or preventing or making it more difficult for shareholders to change the direction or management of our Company, including a classified board, the inability of shareholders to act by written consent, a limitation on the ability of shareholders to call special meetings of shareholders and advance notice provisions. As a result, our shareholders may have less input into the management of our Company than they might otherwise have if these provisions were not included in our articles of association.

The Cayman Islands have provisions under the Companies Law to facilitate mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. These provisions, contained within Part XVA of the Companies Law, are broadly similar to the merger provisions as provided for under Delaware Law.

There are however a number of important differences that could impede a takeover. First, the threshold for approval of the merger plan by shareholders is higher. The threshold is a special resolution of the shareholders (being 66 2/3% of those present in person or by proxy and voting) together with such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in the articles of association.

As it is not expected that the shares would have the same rights and economic value following a takeover by way of merger, it is expected that the first test is the one which would commonly apply. This threshold essentially has three requirements: “a majority in number” of the shareholders of the Company must approve the transaction, such approving majority must hold at least 75% “in value” of all the outstanding shares and the shareholders must vote together as one class.

Additionally, the consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest (in essence a documented security interest as opposed to one arising by operation of law) is required to be obtained unless the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands waives such requirement.

The merger provisions contained within Part XVA of the Companies Law do contain shareholder appraisal rights similar to those provided for under Delaware law. Such rights are limited to a merger under Part XVA and do not apply to schemes of arrangement as discussed below.

The Companies Law also contains separate statutory provisions that provide for the merger, reconstruction and amalgamation of companies. Those are commonly referred to in the Cayman Islands as “schemes of arrangement.”

The procedural and legal requirements necessary to consummate these transactions are more rigorous and take longer to complete than the procedures typically required to consummate a merger in the United States. Under Cayman Islands law and practice, a scheme of arrangement in relation to a solvent Cayman Islands company must be approved at a shareholders’ meeting by a majority of each class of the company’s shareholders who are present and voting (either in person or by proxy) at such meeting. The shares voted in favor of the scheme of arrangement must also represent at least 75% of the value of each relevant class of the company’s shareholders present and voting at the meeting. The convening of these meetings and the terms of the amalgamation must also be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. Although there is no requirement to seek the consent of the creditors of the parties involved in the scheme of arrangement, the Grand Court typically seeks to ensure that the creditors have consented to the transfer of their liabilities to the surviving entity or that the scheme of arrangement does not otherwise materially adversely affect creditors’ interests. Furthermore, the court will only approve a scheme of arrangement if it is satisfied that:

•

the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been complied with;

•

the shareholders who voted at the meeting in question fairly represent the relevant class of shareholders to which they belong;

•

the scheme of arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and

•

the scheme of arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Law.

If the scheme of arrangement is approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of U.S. corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

In addition, if an offer by a third party to purchase shares in us has been approved by the holders of at least 90% of our outstanding shares (not including such a third party) pursuant to an offer within a four-month period of making such an offer, the purchaser may, during the two months following expiration of the four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer their shares on the same terms on which the purchaser acquired the first 90% of our outstanding shares. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion or inequitable treatment of the shareholders.

There is uncertainty as to shareholders’ ability to enforce certain foreign civil liabilities in the Cayman Islands.

We are incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands. A material portion of our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for our shareholders to enforce judgments against us or judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands counsel, Maples and Calder, that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will — based on the principle that a judgment by a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given — recognize and enforce a foreign judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction if such judgment is final, for a liquidated sum, not in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matters, and was not obtained in a manner, and is not of a kind, the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. There is doubt, however, as to whether the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands will (1) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States, or (2) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, impose liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States, on the grounds that such provisions are penal in nature.

The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.


Item 2.		*Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds*

(a) On April 11, 2011, the Company acquired a privately held software company. The Company issued 50,150 common shares, valued at approximately $4.2 million, as consideration in the transaction. This transaction was exempt from registration under Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. No general solicitation or advertising was involved.

(b) None.

(c) Our original share repurchase program announced on April 18, 2007, expired on April 17, 2009 pursuant to its terms. On April 30, 2009, our board of directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $300 million of our common shares during the next two years, at such times and prices as determined by management. On May 3, 2010, our board of directors approved an increase to the share repurchase authorization from $300 million to $1 billion. In addition, our board of directors approved the extension of the expiration date of the share repurchase program from April 2011 to December 2014.

The following is a summary of our repurchases of common shares during the three months ended June 30, 2011:
