IHOP CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
    adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring accruals, which in the opinion
    of the management of IHOP Corp. and Subsidiaries ("IHOP" or the "Company")
    are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the
    results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations
    for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative
    of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1996.

2.  In the first quarter of 1995, the Company recognized severance charges of
    $800,000 associated with a realignment of responsibilities in its restaurant
    operations, restaurant development and purchasing functions. The effect of
    the charges was $484,000, net of income tax benefit, or $.05 per share.

- --------------------
(a) The Company reports restaurants in Canada as franchise restaurants although
nine of the ten restaurants are operated under an area license agreement.

IHOP's quarterly results are subject to seasonal fluctuation.  Revenues from
sales of franchises are affected by the timing of new restaurant openings and
the restaurants in the Company's "inventory" of restaurants available from time
to time for franchising; the impact of such factors is not evenly distributed
throughout the year.  As a consequence, the results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1996.

System-wide retail sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996
increased 12.4% and 11.4%, respectively, over system-wide retail sales for the
comparable 1995 periods.  This was due to increases in the number of effective
restaurants of 8.2% and 8.7% and increases in average per unit revenues of 3.8%
and 2.5% over the respective prior year periods.  The above increases were
mitigated by unfavorable exchange fluctuations in the Japanese yen.  If the
Japanese sales were excluded from the comparison, system-wide sales would have
increased by 14.5% in the third quarter and 13.4% in the first nine months of
1996.  System-wide comparable average sales per restaurant (exclusive of area
license restaurants) for the third quarter and first nine

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
months of 1996 increased 2.7% and 1.3%, respectively, over those in the 
comparable 1995 periods.  Management continues to pursue sales increases through
the Company's restaurant development program, improved marketing efforts,
improvements in customer service and operations, and the Company's remodeling
program.

Franchise operations revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of
1996 increased 7.3% and 9.7%, respectively, over revenues for the comparable
1995 periods.  This was primarily due to increases in the number of effective
franchise restaurants of 7.9% and 8.7% coupled with increases in average per
unit revenues of 6.3% and 4.2% in the third quarter and the first nine months of
1996, respectively, in comparison with the same periods in 1995.  Franchise
operations costs and expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of
1996 increased 7.3% and 8.7%, respectively, over costs and expenses for the
comparable 1995 periods.  As a result of franchise revenues increasing in excess
of franchise expenses, the margin from franchise operations improved to 53.7% in
both the third quarter and first nine months of 1996 versus 53.6% and 53.2% in
the comparable 1995 periods.  The improvements in margin were primarily because
of increases in interest income associated with IHOP's financing of sales of
franchises and equipment to its franchisees.

Company-operated restaurant revenues for the third quarter and first nine months
of 1996 increased 36.8% and 28.3%, respectively, over revenues for the
comparable periods in 1995. This was primarily due to increases in the number of
effective Company-operated restaurants of 22.9% and 19.1% coupled with increases
in the revenues per effective Company operated restaurant of 11.5% and 7.6%,
respectively, in the third quarter and the first nine months of 1996 over the
comparable 1995 periods.  Company-operated restaurant costs and expenses for the
third quarter and first nine months of 1996 increased 30.4% and 24.5%,
respectively, from those in the comparable 1995 periods.  Margin from Company-
operated restaurants increased to 5.6% and 6.0% in the third quarter and first
nine months of 1996, respectively, from margins of 1.0% and 3.1% in the
comparable 1995 periods. The improvements in margin were primarily due to
operating reductions in food costs, salaries and wages as a percentage of
revenues.

Other revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996 increased
41.7% and 30.9%, respectively, from other revenues for the comparable 1995
periods.  The primary reason for the increases were sales of franchises and
equipment which increased to $9,333,000 and $15,911,000 in the third quarter and
first nine months of 1996, respectively, from $6,566,000 and $12,407,000 in the
comparable 1995 periods.  Augmenting the increased sales of franchises and
equipment were gains in interest income from direct financing leases.  The
Company franchised 17 and 37 restaurants in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1996, respectively, compared to 17 and 36 restaurants in the
comparable 1995 periods.  Other costs and expenses for the third quarter and
first nine months of 1996 increased 36.9% and 21.9%, respectively, over the 1995
periods.  The increases were primarily due to franchise and equipment costs of
sales which increased to $5,091,000 and $8,387,000, respectively, from
$3,436,000 and $6,327,000 in the comparable 1995 periods.  Revenues from sales
of franchises and equipment and their associated costs of sales are affected by
the mix and number of restaurants franchised, as follows: (i) restaurants newly
developed by IHOP normally franchise for $200,000 to $350,000, have little if
any franchise cost of sales and have equipment in excess of $300,000 that is
usually sold at about break-even, (ii) restaurants developed by franchisees
normally franchise for $50,000, have minor associated franchise cost of sales
and do not include an equipment sale; and (iii) previously reacquired franchises
normally refranchise for $100,000 to $300,000, include an

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
equipment sale, and may have substantial costs of sales associated with both the
franchise and the equipment.  As noted earlier, sales of franchises are also
affected by the timing of new restaurant openings and the restaurants in the
Company's "inventory" of restaurants available from time to time for
franchising.

Field, corporate and administrative expenses for the third quarter and first
nine months of 1996 increased 27.7% and 18.5%, respectively, over the comparable
1995 periods.  In general, field, corporate and administrative expenses have
been increasing as a result of normal increases in salaries and wages, inflation
and increases in headcount to support higher workloads as the Company grows.
Field, corporate and administrative expenses were 3.2% and 3.3% of system-wide
sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 1996, respectively, compared
with 2.9% and 3.1% in the comparable 1995 periods.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 23.0% and 17.7% in the third
quarter and first nine months of 1996, respectively, over the comparable 1995
periods primarily reflecting the addition of new, larger restaurants.

Interest expense increased 28.2% and 29.1% in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1996, respectively, over the comparable 1995 periods primarily due to
interest associated with increased capital lease obligations.

Severance charges of $800,000, or $484,000 net of income tax benefit, or $.05
per share, were recognized in the first quarter of 1995.  The charges were
associated with a realignment of responsibilities in the Company's restaurant
operations, restaurant development and purchasing functions.  (See Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Provision for income taxes was 39.5% of income before income taxes in the third
quarter and first nine months of 1996 and in the comparable 1995 periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company invests available funds into its business through the development of
additional restaurants and the remodeling of older Company-operated restaurants.

In 1996, IHOP and its franchisees and area licensees plan to develop and open
approximately 65 to 70 restaurants.  Included in that number are the development
of 45 to 50 restaurants by the Company and approximately 20 by IHOP franchisees
and area licensees.  This is an adjustment from the previous forecast of 50 to
55 new restaurants to be developed by the Company and 25 by franchisees and area
licensees.  Intense competition for the limited number of restaurant locations
which are available at fair value is the primary reason for the change in
forecast. Projected capital expenditures in 1996 for IHOP's portion of the above
development program are approximately $55 million.  In November 1996, the first
annual installment of $4.6 million in principal becomes due on the Company's
senior notes due 2002.

The Company is currently finalizing the placement of $35 million in unsecured
senior notes due 2008 at a favorable fixed interest rate. Principal payments on
these notes will commence in the year 2000. Management projects that the sale of
the notes will be completed in November 1996. The proceeds will be used to fund
capital expenditures, refinance existing debt and for

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
general corporate purposes.  The Company expects that funds from operations,
sale and leaseback arrangements (estimated to be about $8 million), its
revolving line of credit and the senior notes will be sufficient to cover its
operating requirements and its projected capital expenditures in 1996.  At
September 30, 1996, $16.0 million had been borrowed under the Company's
unsecured bank revolving credit agreement.  These borrowings are expected to be
repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the senior notes.

          WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the Plan to accelerate the vesting

                                  For Plan Years beginning prior to December 30,
                                  1996, for purposes of applying these

1996:

         Highly Compensated
         Employee .............   An Employee who (1) is a 5% owner, (2) has

                                  excess of 50% of the dollar amount in effect
                                  under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for the

                                  Section 414(q) of the Code. The $90,803 and
                                  $60,535 amounts shall be adjusted after 1991
                                  for increases in the cost of living pursuant

                                  of living pursuant to Section 414(q)(1) of the
                                  Code.
