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

1.   The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  These financial
     statements have not been audited by independent public accountants but
     include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring accruals, which in
     the opinion of 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 accompanying
     consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 has been derived from
     audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required
     by GAAP.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
     1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
     full year ending December 31, 1997.

2.   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."
     SFAS No. 128 supersedes and simplifies the existing computational
     guidelines under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per
     Share."  It is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
     after December 15, 1997.  Among other changes, SFAS No. 128 eliminates the
     presentation of primary EPS and replaces it with basic EPS for which common
     stock equivalents are not considered in the computation.  It also revises
     the computation of diluted EPS.  It is not expected that the adoption of
     SFAS No. 128 will have a material impact on the earnings per share results
     reported by the Company under the Company's current capital structure.

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

The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes
is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.  The discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996.  Statements regarding future restaurant development and
capital expenditures are "forward-looking statements" and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results to be different from those expressed or implied in such statements.  The
number of restaurants which the Company will develop, the timing of that
development and the related capital required may be affected by several factors.
These factors include, but are not limited to: the availability of suitable
locations and terms of the sites designated for development; the ability to
obtain satisfactory regulatory approvals; conditions beyond the Company's
control such as weather, availability of construction materials and  labor; the
cost and

                                       7

availability of capital; continuing acceptance of the International House of
Pancakes brand and concept by guests and franchisees; the Company's overall
financial performance; general economic conditions; and other factors discussed
from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Forward-looking information is provided by the Company pursuant to
the safe harbor established under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 and should be evaluated in the context of these factors.  In addition,
the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking
statements.

IHOP's quarterly results are subject to seasonal fluctuation with sales
generally higher in the warmer months and during holiday periods.  IHOP's
results of operations are impacted by the timing of additions of new
restaurants, by the timing of the franchising of those restaurants, and by the
number of restaurants in the Company's inventory of restaurants that are
available for refranchising. 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 sell for a franchise fee of $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
sell for a franchise fee of $50,000, have minor associated franchise cost of
sales and do not include an equipment sale; and (iii) previously reacquired
franchises normally sell for a franchise fee of $100,000 to $300,000, include an
equipment sale, and may have substantial costs of sales associated with both the
franchise and the equipment.  As a consequence of the foregoing and other
factors, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year
ending December 31, 1997.

System-wide retail sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997
grew 11.6% and 13.3%, respectively, over system-wide retail sales for the
comparable 1996 periods.  This was due to growth in the number of effective
restaurants of 7.5% and 7.6% and increases in average per unit revenues of 4.0%
and 5.3% over the respective prior year periods.  System-wide comparable average
sales per restaurant (exclusive of area license restaurants) for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1997 grew 2.5% and 3.8%, respectively, over
those in the comparable 1996 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
1997 grew 13.8% and 11.8%, respectively, over revenues for the comparable 1996
periods.  This was primarily due to growth in the number of effective franchise
restaurants of 6.9% and 7.6% coupled with increases in average per unit revenues
of 5.3% and 6.2% in the third quarter and the first nine months of 1997,
respectively, over the prior year periods.  Franchise operations costs and
expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 increased 10.2% and
7.4%, respectively, over costs and expenses for the comparable 1996 periods. As
a result of franchise revenues increasing in excess of franchise expenses, the
margin from franchise operations improved to 55.1% in the third quarter and to
55.5% in the first nine months of 1997 versus 53.7% in both of the comparable
1996 periods.  The improvements in margin were primarily because of improved
rent margins due, in part, to an increase in the relative number of IHOP-owned
restaurants which do not have rent expense coupled with growth 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 1997 grew 11.9% and 15.8%, respectively, over revenues for the comparable
1996 periods.  This was primarily due to increases in the number of effective
Company-operated restaurants of 13.6% and 12.5% in the third quarter and the
first nine months of 1997, respectively, over the comparable 1996 periods. In
the third quarter of 1997, the growth was mitigated by a decrease of 1.2% in
revenues per effective Company-operated restaurant versus the comparable prior
year period. For the first nine months of 1997, the growth was augmented by an
increase of 3.0% in revenues per effective Company-operated restaurant versus
the first nine months of 1996. Company-operated restaurant costs and expenses
for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 increased 10.5% and 15.2%,
respectively, over those in the comparable 1996 periods. Margin from Company-
operated restaurants increased to 6.8% and 6.5% in the third quarter and first
nine months of 1997, respectively, from margins of 5.6% and 6.0% in the
comparable 1996 periods. The improvements in margin were primarily due to
operating reductions in salaries and wages as a percentage of revenues in the
third quarter of 1997 and in food costs, salaries and wages as a percentage of
revenues in the first nine months of 1997.

Other revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 declined 4.6%
and grew 13.4%, respectively, from other revenues for the comparable 1996
periods.  The primary reason for the changes were sales of franchises and
equipment which were $7,765,000 and $16,797,000 in the third quarter and first
nine months of 1997, respectively, versus $9,333,000 and $15,911,000 in the same
prior year periods.  The Company franchised 16 and 35 restaurants in the third
quarter and first nine months of 1997, respectively, compared to 17 and 37
restaurants in the comparable 1996 periods.  Partially offsetting the decline in
other revenues for the quarter and augmenting the increase in other revenues for
the nine months were gains in interest income from direct financing leases.
Other costs and expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997
decreased 5.8% and increased 14.2%, respectively, from the 1996 periods.  The
changes were primarily due to franchise and equipment costs of sales which were
$4,476,000 and $9,359,000, in the third quarter and first nine months of 1997
respectively, versus $5,091,000 and $8,387,000 in the comparable 1996 periods.

Field, corporate and administrative expenses for the third quarter and first
nine months of 1997 increased 9.6% and 11.4%, respectively, over the comparable
1996 periods.  The increases were principally due to increases in employee
related compensation and expenses and professional services.  Field, corporate
and administrative expenses were 3.2% and 3.3% of system-wide sales in the third
quarter and first nine months of 1997, respectively, the same as the percentages
in the comparable 1996 periods.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 18.4% and 24.0% in the third
quarter and first nine months of 1997, respectively, over the comparable 1996
periods primarily reflecting the addition of new, larger restaurants and an
increase in the number of Company-operated restaurants.

Interest expense increased 31.7% and 30.6% in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1997, respectively, over the comparable 1996 periods due to interest
associated with increased capital lease obligations and the private placement of
$35 million in senior notes in November 1996.

Provision for income taxes was 39.0% of income before income taxes in both the
third quarter and first nine months of 1997 versus 39.5% in the comparable 1996
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 1997, 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 49 restaurants by the Company and 20 to 21 by IHOP franchisees and area
licensees.  The Company's prior forecast for restaurant development in 1997 was
49 new restaurants to be developed by the Company and 21 by franchisees and area
licensees.  The modification of the prior forecast is primarily due to
construction scheduling issues related to a few restaurants coupled with
uncertainty about forecasted unusually severe winter weather in some areas where
IHOP is developing restaurants.  Capital expenditures projected for 1997, which
include IHOP's portion of the above development program, are approximately $52
million to $58 million. IHOP's cash and cash equivalents increased to $18.1 
million at September 30, 1997 versus $8.7 million at December 31, 1996. The 
increase was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from sale and leaseback 
arrangements and a delay in the timing of capital expenditures related to new 
restaurant development. In November 1997, the second annual installment of $4.6
million in principal becomes due on the Company's senior notes due 2002. The
Company expects that funds from operations, sale and leaseback arrangements
(estimated to be about $20 million) and its revolving line of credit will be
sufficient to cover its operating requirements, its projected capital
expenditures and its principal repayment on its senior notes in 1997. At
September 30, 1997, $20 million was available to be borrowed under the Company's
unsecured bank revolving credit agreement. In June 1997, the Company's unsecured
bank revolving credit agreement was extended one year, through June 30, 2000,
under the same terms and conditions.

                         EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
                         -----------------------------       

                  Amendment No. 4 to Amended and Restated Plan
                  --------------------------------------------

     WHEREAS, IHOP Corp. (the "Company") has adopted the International House of
Pancakes Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of its
employees; and

     WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the Plan to clarify the forfeiture
provisions of the Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective as of
December 30, 1996:

     1.   Section 2 is amended by restating the definition of "Forfeitures" to
read as follows:

Forfeiture...............           The nonvested portion of a Participant's
                                    Accounts which does not become part of his
                                    Capital Accumulation and which are forfeited
                                    under Section 10(b).

    2.   Section 10(b) is amended by restating the first sentence thereof to
read as follows:

     If a participant is not fully vested in the final balances in his Accounts,
     the nonvested portion of his Account balances will become a Forfeiture as
     of the date on which he incurs a one-year Break in Service.
<PAGE>
 
     3.   Section 10(c) is amended by restating the first sentence thereof to
read as follows:

     If a Participant is reemployed prior to the occurrence of a five-
     consecutive-year Break in Service, the portion of his Accounts
     (attributable to the prior period of Service) that was forfeited shall be
     restored as if there had been no Forfeiture.

     4.   Section 10 is amended by adding the following subsection (d) at the
end thereof:

          (d) Vesting Upon Reemployment - If a Participant who is not 100%
              -------------------------                                   
     vested receives a distribution of his Capital Accumulation prior to the
     occurrence of a five-consecutive-year Break in Service and he is re-
     employed prior to the occurrence of such a Break in Service, the portion of
     his Accounts which was not vested shall be maintained separately until he
     becomes 100% vested.  His vested and nonforfeitable percentage in such
     separate Accounts upon his subsequent termination of Service shall be equal
     to:
                             X-Y
                           ---------
                            100%-Y

     For purposes of applying this formula, X is the vested percentage at the
     time of the subsequent termination, and Y is the vested percentage at the
     time of the prior termination.

     5.   Section 11(c) is restated to read as follows:

          (c) Reemployment - If a former Employee is reemployed after a one-year
              ------------                                                      
     Break in Service, new Accounts will be established to reflect his interest
     attributable to Service after the Break in Service.
<PAGE>
 
     His Credited Service with respect to his new Accounts will include his
     Credited Service accumulated prior to the Break in Service after he
     completes one year of Credited Service following reemployment. In the case
     of an Employee who is reemployed after a five-year Break in Service and who
     has not attained a vested interest under the Plan, Service prior to the
     Break in Service shall not be included in determining his Credited Service.
     In the case of an Employee who is reemployed after a five-year Break in
     Service, Service after the Break in Service shall not be included in
     determining his Credited Service prior to the Break in Service.

     To record the adoption of this Amendment No. 4 to the amended and restated
Plan, the Company has caused it to be executed this 26th day of August, 1997.

                         IHOP CORP.
