                           FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF
                           DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Steering Committee and Participants of the
 Iomega Retirement and Investment Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Iomega Retirement and Investment Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 1997 and 1996, and the related  statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997.  These  financial  statements
and the  schedules  referred  to  below  are the  responsibility  of the  Plan's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and schedules 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December  31,  1997 and 1996,  and the changes in its net assets  available  for
benefits  for the year ended  December  31, 1997 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial  statements  taken  as a  whole.  The  schedules  of  assets  held for
investment  purposes and reportable  transactions  are presented for purposes of
additional  analysis  and  are  not a  required  part  of  the  basic  financial
statements  but are  supplementary  information  required by the  Department  of
Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee
Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974. The fund  information in the statements
of net assets  available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional  analysis  rather
than to present the net assets  available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of each fund.  The schedules  and fund  information  have
been  subjected  to the auditing  procedures  applied in the audits of the basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)  PLAN DESCRIPTION

Participation

Iomega  Corporation  ("Iomega")  adopted the Iomega  Retirement  and  Investment
Savings Plan (the "Plan")  effective July 1, 1985.  The Plan was  established to
provide   employees  an  opportunity  to  accumulate  funds  for  retirement  or
disability  and  to  provide  death  benefits  for  employees'   dependents  and
beneficiaries.

Effective  January 1, 1995,  Fidelity  Management Trust Company was appointed as
trustee  of the Plan.  Iomega  administers  the Plan with the  assistance  of an
external administrative consultant.

The  following  description  of the  Plan  provides  only  general  information.
Participants  should refer to the Plan document for a more complete  description
of the Plan's provisions.

Eligibility, Contributions and Benefits

Employees  who have  completed  thirty days of service and who have  attained 21
years of age are eligible to participate in the Plan. Each eligible  employee is
required to make an  election to  participate  in the Plan.  At that time,  each
participant  elects both the  contribution  amount and its  distribution  to the
various investment funds within the Plan. Elected  contribution  percentages can
range  from 2 percent  to 15  percent  of  qualifying  gross  compensation  on a
before-tax basis, subject to IRS limitations.

Iomega may make  additional  contributions  and the Board of Directors of Iomega
determines  each  year  the  amount  and  manner  of the  matching  contribution
allocation to be made to the accounts of eligible  participants.  Iomega matched
employee  contributions in amounts up to $650 per participant for 1997, totaling
$752,304. Participants immediately vest in these contributions.

Effective  January  1,  1995,  Iomega  amended  the  Plan  to  allow  additional
performance  matching  contributions  which are based  upon  Iomega  meeting  or
exceeding  annual  budgeted  profits.  This  performance  matching  contribution
matches 50 percent of each dollar of an employee's contributions that exceed the
employee's  initial annual $600 contribution up to a maximum of three percent of
the  employee's  compensation  or $4,500,  whichever  is less.  The  performance
matching  contribution  for  1997  totaled  $594,741.  Participants  vest in all
performance  matching  contributions  at a rate of 20  percent  for each year of
service. After five years of service, employees become immediately vested in all
performance matching contributions.

Effective  January  1, 1998,  Iomega  amended  the Plan to change  the  employer
matching contributions and vesting rights.  Employer matching contributions were
changed to consist of a basic match of up to $600 per participant, an additional
basic  match of 50 percent  of a  participants  contributions  over $600 up to 5
percent of eligible earnings, and a discretionary performance match with a range
from 0 percent to 3 percent of eligible  earnings,  subject to limits imposed by
the Internal Revenue Service.  The  discretionary  performance match is based on
Company  profitability goals and the match percent is determined annually by the
Company's  board of  directors.  Vesting  rights  were  changed to  participants
vesting in all matching  contributions  at a rate of 25 percent for each year of
service. After four years of service, employees become immediately vested in all
matching contributions.
                                       -5-

Benefits  are  normally  paid  upon  retirement,   death,  disability  or  other
termination.  Upon  termination  of service,  participants  may elect to receive
payment from their accounts in a lump sum, periodic installments,  an annuity or
a combination of these methods. Actively employed participants may only withdraw
funds from the Plan  pursuant  to  specific  restrictions  set forth in the Plan
agreement.

Investment Options

The Plan provides for ten  investment  options.  These  options,  as well as the
number of participants investing in each option, are as follows:

</TABLE>

The Participant  Loan Fund is managed by Iomega and the remaining nine funds are
managed by the Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), an affiliate
of Fidelity  Management  Trust  Company.  No sales charge is levied on the funds
managed by Fidelity,  however, an annual fee is charged by Fidelity to cover the
operating expenses of each fund, including the investment advisory fee. This fee
is deducted from the investment return of each fund.  Participants are charged a
loan setup fee and a maintenance fee for each loan borrowed under the Plan.

The  Magellan  Fund  seeks  capital  appreciation  by  maintaining  a  portfolio
primarily  invested  in common  stocks and  securities  convertible  into common
stocks. Up to 20 percent of this fund may also be invested in debt securities of
all types and quality levels issued by domestic and foreign issuers. The fund is
relatively  aggressive in pursuing growth.  Dividends are declared and posted to
the  participant's  account  in May and  December  of each  calendar  year.  The
undistributed semi-annual dividends are reinvested to purchase additional shares
in the fund.

The  Contrafund  seeks capital  appreciation  by investing in companies that are
believed to be undervalued or out of favor. When market conditions warrant,  the
fund may also invest temporarily in investment-grade  debt securities.  The fund
is relatively aggressive in pursuing growth.

The Managed Income  Portfolio  seeks  preservation  of capital and a competitive
level of income  over time.  The  portfolio  purchases  high-quality,  short and
long-term investment  contracts issued by insurance  companies,  banks and other
approved  financial  institutions that provide  competitive  interest rates. The
Managed Income Portfolio's goal is to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.

                                       -6-
<PAGE>

The  Retirement  Money Market  Portfolio  invests in  high-quality  money market
instruments  of  domestic  and foreign  issuers  which are  denominated  in U.S.
dollars.  Such  instruments  are  short-term  obligations  and  range  from U.S.
Government securities to prime commercial paper issued by private borrowers. The
fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current  income as  possible,  given its
principal  objective  of  preserving  capital and  maintaining  a share value of
$1.00.  Interest income is earned daily and posted to the participant's  account
at the end of each calendar  month or at the time of total  distribution  of the
account.  The  monthly  income is applied to purchase  additional  shares in the
fund.

The   Equity   Income  II  Fund  seeks   income  by   investing   primarily   in
income-producing  equity  securities,  considering  the  potential  for  capital
appreciation. The fund seeks a yield exceeding the Standard & Poor's Daily Stock
Price  Index  500  ("S&P  500").   The  fund  is  considered  to  be  relatively
conservative among growth and income funds.

Asset  Manager  seeks high total  return with reduced risk over the long term by
using a balanced mix of stocks, bonds and short-term instruments. The fund earns
dividends  daily, and the dividends are posted to the  participant's  account in
the last month of each calendar quarter or at the time of total  distribution of
the account. The undistributed  dividends are reinvested to purchase more shares
in the fund.

The  Short-Term  Bond  Portfolio  invests  in  a  broad  range  of  fixed-income
securities. Securities in the portfolio are primarily investment grade or better
with  maturities  typically  less than three  years.  The  portfolio  seeks high
current income consistent with preservation of capital.

The Spartan U.S.  Equity Index  Portfolio has the goal of replicating  the total
return  provided by the stocks  included in the S&P 500. The fund buys and holds
virtually  all of the 500 stocks  contained  in the S&P 500 weighted in the same
manner.  The fund earns  dividends  daily,  and the  dividends are posted to the
participant's  account in the last month of each calendar quarter or at the time
of total distribution of the account. The undistributed dividends are reinvested
to purchase more shares in the fund.

The Iomega Stock Fund invests only in Iomega common stock. A small amount of the
Iomega  Stock Fund  (approximately  1 to 2 percent)  is held in cash to meet the
Plan's liquidity needs for making distributions and transfers.  Shares of Iomega
stock  are  bought  and  sold   over-the-counter   each  pay  period   based  on
participants'  elections.  Voting rights for the common stock held in the Iomega
Stock Fund are passed  through to  participants.  The market value of the Iomega
Stock Fund is determined based on unitized stock accounting.

The  Participant  Loan Fund is invested  solely in promissory  notes executed by
participants.  With the Plan's consent, a participant may borrow from his or her
account up to the lesser of  $50,000 or 50 percent of the  participant's  vested
interest. The outstanding balance of all prior loans under the Plan or any other
plan  maintained by Iomega or its  affiliates  reduces the amount  available for
future loans.  Moreover,  the $50,000 limit is reduced by the amount of any loan
repayments  made  during the most recent 12 months.  The minimum  amount for any
loan is $1,000.  As of  December  31,  1997,  the loans bear  interest  at rates
ranging  from 7.43 to 10.0  percent.  Loans must be repaid  within  five  years,
except for loans used to acquire a principal residence which must be repaid over
a reasonable  period of time not to exceed 10 years.  All loans,  regardless  of
term, become due and payable when the participant's employment terminates.

Termination of the Plan

Iomega  may  terminate  the Plan at any time  subject to the  provisions  of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

(2)  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The  accounting  records  of the Plan are  maintained  on the  accrual  basis in
accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Distributions  to
participants are recorded when paid.

Investments

Contributions  are  invested  in  various  securities.  Participants  direct the
trustee as to the investment of all  contributions.  Investments  are carried at
fair  value  based  on  quoted  market  prices.   Unrealized   appreciation   or
depreciation  caused  by  fluctuations  in the  fair  value  of  investments  is
recognized currently. Interest and dividends are reinvested as earned.

Distributions to Terminated Participants and Forfeitures

During the year ended December 31, 1997, some  participants  terminated from the
Plan.  Participants  terminating  prior to retirement that have a vested benefit
balance in excess of $3,500 may leave their  vested  benefits  in the Plan.  The
Plan provides for the distribution of vested benefits to terminated participants
no later than  April 1  following  the  calendar  year in which the  participant
attained age 70 1/2.  During the year ended December 31, 1997,  vested  benefits
distributed to terminated participants were $3,078,903. Nonvested benefits which
are forfeited are utilized to reduce the Company  contributions  to the Plan and
have been reallocated to continuing participants. During the year ended December
31, 1997, forfeitures reallocated totaled $3,691.

Expenses

Iomega pays all administrative expenses relating to investment and management of
Plan funds,  including legal and accounting fees,  except operating  expenses of
the  investment  funds which are deducted  directly from  investment  returns by
Fidelity (as noted in "Investment Options").


(3)  NET  UNREALIZED  APPRECIATION   (DEPRECIATION)  IN  FAIR  MARKET  VALUE  OF
     INVESTMENTS

The Plan provides that the fair value of all investments  shall be determined at
the end of each Plan year. Net unrealized  appreciation  or  depreciation in the
fair value of investments is determined by computing the difference  between the
fair value of each  investment at the beginning of the Plan year (or at the date
of purchase for investments  acquired during the Plan year) with the fair market
value at the end of the Plan year.


(4)  TAX STATUS

The Plan is subject  to the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974
("ERISA") and certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").  The Plan
is intended to qualify  under  Section  401(a) of the IRC. The Internal  Revenue
Service  issued a favorable  determination  letter dated October 26, 1994 ruling
that the Plan was designed in accordance with applicable IRC  requirements as of


                                       -8-
<PAGE>


that date. The Plan's steering committee and legal counsel believe that the Plan
continues  to be  designed  and  operated  in  accordance  with  applicable  IRC
requirements.  The  Plan  does  not  provide  for  federal  income  taxes as the
qualified plan trust is exempt from income taxes.
