          PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WEIGHT
       WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND WEIGHCO ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

         On January 16, 2001, the Company acquired franchised territories and
certain business assets, including inventory and property and equipment, of
Weighco Enterprises, Incorporated and Subsidiaries ("Weighco") for $83.8
million. The acquisition was financed with available cash of $23.8 million and
additional borrowings of $60.0 million. Weighco's balance sheet has been
combined with the Company's as of December 30, 2000.

         The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of
operations assume the acquisition had occurred on May 1, 1999. The pro forma
condensed combined balance sheets and statements of operations do not give
effect to any synergies that might result from the acquisition of Weighco.
Accordingly, the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of
operations are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred
if the acquisition had been consummated on May 1, 1999, nor are they necessarily
indicative of future combined operating results. Certain amounts included in the
Weighco historical consolidated statements of operations for the eight months
ended December 30, 2000 and for the year ended April 29, 2000 have been
reclassified to conform with the Company's presentation on the pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations.

The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the
Company for the period ended December 30, 2000, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on the Company's Current Report of Form 10-K dated March 30,
2001 and the historical financial statements of Weighco for the year ended
December 30, 2000, filed herein.

           NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         FOR THE EIGHT MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2000 AND THE YEAR
                              ENDED APRIL 29, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)

The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations
assume that the acquisition of Weighco occurred at December 20, 2000, and at
the beginning of the periods presented, respectively. The pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet and statements of operations do not give any effect to
the synergies that might result from the acquisition of Weighco's operations.
Accordingly, the pro forma results are not indicative of what would have
occurred if the acquisition had been consummated on May 1, 1999, nor are they
necessarily indicative of future combined results.

The following is a summary of the estimated adjustments, based upon available
information and upon certain assumptions that management believes are
reasonable, that are reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statements of
operations.

(1) Represents the acquisition of inventory, property and equipment and other
assets and the elimination of non-assumed liabilities for $83.8 million, which
was financed with $23.8 million of existing cash and additional borrowings of
$60.0 million. The excess of the total purchase price over assets acquired and
liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill.

(2) Represents a receivable due to the Company from Weighco for the assumption
of deferred revenue.



                                                                              December 30      April 29
                                                                                  2000           2000
                                                                                -------         -------
                                                                                        
(3) Represents the amortization of acquisition goodwill of $80.8 million        $ 2,793         $ 4,190
     over 20 years utilizing the straight-line method.

(4) Acquisition borrowings of $60 million at an average interest                $ 3,800         $ 5,700
      rate of 9.5%.

(5) Cash used to fund acquisition of $23.8 million at 5.5%.                     $   873         $ 1,309

(6) Represents the elimination of royalty revenue                               $ 6,582         $ 7,998
      and expense and products sales to Weighco.

(7) The elimination of non-recurring costs and charges incurred by Weighco
      relating to the sale to Weight Watchers:
      General & Administrative Expenses                                         $ 4,859         $ 5,638
      Other (Income) Expense                                                    $ 8,584

(8) Recognition of income taxes at 28% of the pre-tax income                    $ 1,674         $(2,336)
      for the eight months ended December 30, 2000 and 42% for the year
      ended April 29, 2000.
