                          Independent Auditors' Report
                          ----------------------------

The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Weddingpages, Inc.:

We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheet of  Weddingpages,  Inc.  and
subsidiary (formerly Wedding Information Network,  Inc.) as of December 31, 1999
and June 30, 1999, and the related  statements of income,  stockholders'  equity
and cash flows for the six months  ended  December  31,  1999 and the year ended
June  30,  1999.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  Weddingpages,  Inc.  and
subsidiary  at  December  31, 1999 and June 30,  1999,  and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for the six months ended  December 31, 1999 and
the year ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                     For Six Months Ended December 31, 1999
                          And Year Ended June 30, 1999

 (1).    Nature of Business
         ------------------

         Weddingpages,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  is  engaged in  providing  local
         businesses,  serving the market, with several means of direct marketing
         to newly-engaged  couples,  such as the bridal " Weddingpages" book and
         lists of prospective brides. The Company operates exclusive  geographic
         territories throughout the United States by itself or through
         franchisees.



 (2).    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         ------------------------------------------

         (a) Principles of Consolidation
             ---------------------------

             The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the
             Company and its subsidiary.  All significant  intercompany accounts
             and transaction have been eliminated in consolidation.


         (b) Revenue and Costs
             -----------------

             Service  fee  revenue  and   royalty   fees  from   producing   the
             "Weddingpages"  book for  franchisees is recognized upon the book's
             publication at which time all material  services  relating  thereto
             have been  substantially  performed.  Company-owned  market revenue
             billed and related  costs which are incurred  prior to  publication
             are deferred until publication.  Costs associated with assembly and
             distribution  of the book incurred  subsequent to  publication  are
             accrued as distribution costs when revenue is recorded.

             Selling,   marketing  and  production  costs  directly  related  to
             franchise  markets and  Company-owned  markets are charged to those
             categories.  Indirect  costs are  allocated  based on the number of
             books published in each category.


         (c) Deferred Accounts Receivable
             ----------------------------

             Deferred  accounts  receivable  consists of receivables  related to
             markets that have yet to publish. The receivable becomes current at
             the time of publication.


         (d) Short-term Investments
             ----------------------

             Short-term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposit
             with  maturities of one year or less.  Short-term  investments  are
             carried at cost, which approximates market.

         (e) Inventories
             -----------

             Inventories are stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out)
             or market.

         (f) Property and Equipment
             ----------------------

             Depreciation  of property and equipment is being  calculated  using
             straight-line  and  accelerated  methods over the estimated  useful
             lives of the assets.  Average useful life of property and equipment
             is five-to-seven years.

         (g) Software Capitalization
             -----------------------

             Until a project reaches the  application  development  stage,  both
             internal  and external  costs are expensed as incurred.  After that
             time, costs of upgrades and enhancements are capitalized only if it
             is   probable   that  the   expenditures   will   result  in  added
             functionality  for the  software.  The Company is  amortizing  such
             costs over a five-year period.  Unamortized software costs included
             in property  and  equipment  at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999
             were   $100,419  and   $80,037,   respectively.   Amortization   of
             capitalized  costs during the six month  period ended  December 31,
             1999 and the year ended June 30,  1999 were  $14,086  and  $17,229,
             respectively.


         (h) Intangible Assets
             -----------------

             Intangible  assets  consist of former  franchises  purchased by the
             Company.  Franchises  are  stated  at  cost  and  amortized  on the
             straight-line method over seven years.

             The Company monitors events and changes in circumstances  which may
             require  a review  of the  carrying  value of the  assets to assess
             recoverability  based on estimated  undiscounted  future  operating
             cash flows. Impairments would be recognized in operating results if
             a permanent  diminution in value were to occur based on fair value.
             There was no  impairment  recognized  during the six  months  ended
             December 31, 1999 and the year ended June 30, 1999.

         (i) Income Per Share
             ----------------

             Basic income per share is based on the weighted  average  number of
             common shares outstanding, including contingently issuable shares.

             Diluted income per share is based on the weighted  number of common
             shares outstanding,  including  contingently  issuable shares, plus
             dilutive   potential   common  shares   outstanding   (representing
             outstanding stock options).

             The following data show the amounts used in computing  earnings per
             share and the effect on the  weighted  average  number of shares of
             dilutive potential common stock.

         (j) Income Taxes
             ------------

             Deferred  tax  assets  and   liabilities  are  recognized  for  the

<PAGE>

             estimated  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences
             between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
             and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
             and  liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for
             the year in which those  temporary  differences  are expected to be
             recovered  or  settled.  The  effect on  deferred  tax  assets  and
             liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
             period that includes the enactment date.

         (k) Use of Estimates
             ----------------

             The   preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
             generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to
             make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of
             assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure of  contingent  assets and
             liabilities  at  the  date  of the  financial  statements  and  the
             reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the  reporting
             periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 (3).    Supplemental Cash Flow Information
         ----------------------------------

         Interest paid was $67,558 and $78,378 for the six months ended December
         31, 1999 and the year ended June 30 1999, respectively.

 (5).    Income Taxes
         ------------

         The actual tax expense differs from the "expected" tax expense computed
         by applying the U.S.  Federal  corporate  tax rate to net income before
         income taxes as follows:

 (6).    Lease Commitments
         -----------------


         The Company has entered into  operating  leases for certain  office and
         production  space.  Rent expense for the six months ended  December 31,
         1999  and  year  ended  June  30,  1999  was   $89,790  and   $110,844,
         respectively.

         The Company  has minimum  rental  commitments  under all  noncancelable
         operating leases through 2002 as follows:


                                       2000        $              161,106

                                       2002                        28,640
                                                   ======================


         It is  expected  that in the normal  course of  business,  leases  that
         expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

 (7).    Capital Stock - Common and Class A Common Stock
         -----------------------------------------------

         The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000  shares of $.01 par value
         common  stock and  1,000,000  shares  of $.01 par value  Class A common
         stock.  The Class A common  stock is entitled to 16 votes per share and
         is automatically converted to an equal number of shares of common stock
         upon  sale or  transfer  to any  person  who is not a holder of Class A
         common  stock or at any time at the  option of the  holder.  The common
         stock  has one vote per  share.  Holders  of  common  stock and Class A
         common stock have equal  rights to receive  dividends  when,  as and if
         declared  by Board of  Directors.  Holders of common  stock and Class A
         common  stock are  entitled  upon  liquidation  of the Company to share
         ratably in the net assets available for distribution.

 (8).    Stock Option Plan
         -----------------

         Effective  September  24, 1997 the Company  adopted a new stock  option
         plan (the "Plan")  covering  1,000,000  shares of the Company's  common
         stock,  $.01 par value,  pursuant to which officers,  directors and key
         employees of the Company are eligible to receive  incentive  and/or non
         qualified stock options. The Plan which expires in September 2007, will
         be administered by the Board of Directors or a committee  designated by
         the Board of Directors.

         Incentive stock options granted under the Plan are exercisable in whole
         or in part one year from the date of grant and expire  ten years  after
         the date of grant at an exercise  price which is not less than the fair
         market value of the common stock on the date of the grant,  except that

<PAGE>

         the term of an  incentive  stock  option  granted  under  the Plan to a
         stockholder  owning more than 10% of the outstanding  common stock must
         not exceed  five years and the  exercise  price of an  incentive  stock
         option granted to such a stockholder  must not be less than 110% of the
         fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

         For the six months ended  December 31, 1999 and the year ended June 30,
         1999, the Company granted options to purchase 260,000 and 75,000 shares
         of common  stock  with  exercise  prices  of $1.38 and $.58 per  share,
         respectively.  No compensation  expense was recorded on this grant. Had
         compensation cost on shares  exercisable under the Plan been determined
         using the fair value  method,  the  Company's net income and net income
         per share would have been  reduced to the pro forma  amounts  indicated
         below:

                                     ANNEX B

The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  financial  information  are  based on the
historical  financial  statements of The Knot, Inc.,  adjusted to give effect to
the acquisition of Weddingpages, Inc. All amounts are in thousands, except share
and per share information.

All unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to historical
results  (consisting  only of normal  recurring  entries)  necessary  for a fair
presentation  and, in our opinion,  have been  prepared on the same basis as the
audited  financial  statements.  These  adjustments  include  the  reduction  of
deferred accounts receivable and deferred revenue.  Certain  Weddingpages,  Inc.
financial   information   has  been   reclassified  to  conform  with  The  Knot
presentation.  The unaudited pro forma  statement of operations  gives effect to
the  acquisition  as if it had occurred as of January 1, 1999 and the  unaudited
pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on
December 31, 1999.

The unaudited pro forma financial  information  reflects the Weddingpages,  Inc.
acquisition  using the purchase  method of accounting.  The purchase  accounting
adjustments  made in connection  with the development of the pro forma financial
statements are  preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing
the pro forma  combined  financial  information.  However,  The Knot  management
believes  that  the  pro  forma  adjustments  and  the  underlying   assumptions
reasonably  present  the  significant  effects  of the  acquisition.  The actual
financial position and results of operations of the combined entity will differ,
perhaps significantly,  from the pro forma amounts reflected herein because of a
variety of factors,  including changes in value and changes in operating results
between the dates of the Pro Forma  Financial  Statements  and the date on which
the  acquisition  takes  place.  The  pro  forma  financial  statements  are not
necessarily indicative of actual operating results or financial position had the
acquisition  occurred as of the dates  indicated  above,  nor do they purport to
indicate  operating  results or financial  position which may be attained in the
future. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have
been included as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and are provided for comparative purposes only.
