 Basis of Presentation
 
 IHF Holdings, Inc. ("IHF Holdings") is a holding company whose principal
 asset is all of the capital stock of  ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. ("ICON
 Health").  ICON Fitness Corporation ("ICON Fitness") is a holding company
 whose principal asset is all of the capital stock of IHF Holdings. IHF
 Capital, Inc. ("IHF Capital") which is not a registrant, is a holding
 company whose principal asset is all of the common stock of IHF Fitness. 
 Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to the
 "Company" refer to the combined operations of the companies.
 
 The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements and notes
 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in
 the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the
 accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include all
 adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
 periods presented and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring
 nature. The home fitness industry is seasonal in nature and the results of
 operations for the interim periods presented may not be indicative of the
 results for the full year.
 
 The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with
 generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make
 estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
 liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the consolidated
 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
 during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
 Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
 Results of Operations.
 
 This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
 within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  For this purpose, any
 statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may
 be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing,
 the words, "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends" and
 similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 
 The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth
 in the forward-looking statements.
 
 Seasonality
 
 The Company has historically sold the majority of its products to customers
 in its second and third fiscal quarters (i.e., from September through
 February).  Increased sales and distribution typically have occurred in the
 Christmas retail season and the beginning of a new calendar year because of
 increased customer promotions and customer purchases.  While this
 seasonality has been the trend, it may not be indicative of the results to
 be expected for this fiscal year or any future years. The following table
 reflects the Company's net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
 for each quarter in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996.

 Operating Results for the First Quarters of 1998 and 1997
 ---------------------------------------------------------

 Net sales were $127.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, compared
 to $125.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Domestic treadmill
 sales increased $23.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $67.3
 million compared to $43.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
 Domestic treadmill sales accounted for approximately 52.8% and 34.6% of
 total net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1997.  Sales of
 the Company's line of upright rowers decreased $19.4 million to $1.6
 million from $21.0 million in the first quarter of 1997.  Sales of
 trampolines decreased $4.3 million in the first quarter of 1998 to $13.1
 million from $17.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The
 Company has introduced several new products which include Airwalkers, home
 spas, relaxation chairs and elliptical products which generated $7.0
 million of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $.8
 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
 
 Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $34.8 million, or
 27.3% of net sales, compared to $33.4 million, or 26.6% of net sales, for
 the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The step-up of HealthRider inventory
 increased cost of sales by $.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
 and $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Without these
 charges, the gross profit would have been 27.5%, and 28.1% for the first
 quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1997 respectively. This decrease is attributed
 to the changes in product mix.
 
 Selling expenses were $26.6 million, or 20.9% of net sales, in the first
 quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $18.8 million, or 14.9% of net sales,
 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase of $7.8 million over
 the same period last year is primarily due to the increase of selling
 expenses of HealthRider from $2.5 million for two weeks of operation
 included in the first quarter of 1997 to $5.5 million for the first quarter
 of fiscal 1998. Other increases include freight charges of $1.8 million,
 customer service and warranty expenses of $1.2 million and bad debt
 expenses of $1.0 million.
 
 Research and development expenses were $1.9 million or 1.5% of net sales,
 for the first quarter of 1998 compared to $1.6 million, or 1.3% of net
 sales, for the first quarter 1997.
 
 General and administrative expenses totaled $13.8 million, or 10.8% of net
 sales, for the first quarter of 1998 compared to $10.9 million, or 8.7% of
 net sales, for the first quarter of 1997.  This increase in general and
 administrative expenses as a percentage of sales can be attributed in part
 to the inclusion of the operating results of HealthRider and ICON of Canada
 for the entire first quarter of fiscal 1998. These costs were $.4 million

<PAGE>

 for the first quarter of 1997 compared to $1.5 for the first quarter of
 1998. The balance of $1.8 million is due to the higher costs associated
 with operating the Company's business.
 
 As a result of the foregoing factors, the operating loss was $7.6 million
 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, compared to operating income of $2.0
 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
 
 Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing fees, was
 $9.7 million for ICON Health, $13.2 million for IHF Holdings and $16.3
 million for ICON Fitness in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to
 $6.8 million for ICON Health and $9.7 million for IHF Holdings and ICON
 Fitness for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.   In the first quarter of
 fisal 1997, ICON Fitness recorded an additional $1.3 million of interest
 expense related to dividends accruing on the IHF Holdings preferred stock
 issued in connection with the Recapitalization and which was held by
 affiliates of the Company.  The IHF Holdings preferred stock was redeemed
 with the proceeds of the 14% Series A Senior Secured Discount Notes issued
 in November 1996.  Interest expense has increased due to the interest
 associated with these Senior Discount Notes, the Company's growth and the
 high level of borrowing incurred in connection with the HealthRider
 Acquisition, the WHF Settlement the Weider Sports and CanCo Acquisitions. 
 
 The income tax benefit was $6.4 million for ICON Health, $7.4 million for
 IHF Holdings, and $8.5 million for ICON Fitness for the first quarter of
 1998 compared with a tax benefit of $1.2 million for ICON Health and a tax
 benefit of $1.9 million for IHF Holdings and ICON Fitness during the first
 quarter of fiscal 1997.  This is a result of the increase in the loss
 before income tax during the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same
 period in the preceding year.
 
 As a result of the foregoing factors, the net operating loss was $10.9
 million for ICON Health and  $13.3 million for IHF Holdings and $15.4
 million for ICON Fitness for the first quarter of 1998 compared to net
 operating loss of $3.6 million for ICON Health, $5.8 million for IHF
 Holdings and $7.1 million for ICON Fitness during the same period for
 fiscal 1997.
 
 Advertising allowances with retail customers have increased by $3.2 million
 to $6.1 million at August 30, 1997 from $2.9 million at May 31, 1997.
 Advertising  allowances are generally a  fixed percentage of sales to
 customers. Fluctuations in the balance of this allowance are attributable
 to changes in customer sales mix and the timing of  when allowances are
 taken.
 
 Bad debt allowances totaled $3.3 million at August 30, 1997 compared to
 $2.6 at May 31, 1997. This increase in the allowance is primarily due to
 additional amounts allocated to the Montgomery Ward provision. Montgomery
 Ward recently filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 Terms with retail customers remained unchanged from previous periods.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 -------------------------------
 
 As a result of the Company's Recapitalization on November 14, 1994, the
 Company's cash needs have changed significantly.  Management believes that
 cash flows from operations and ICON Health's ability to make revolving
 credit borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement will provide adequate
 funds for working capital, planned capital expenditures and debt service
 obligations for the foreseeable future.  Nevertheless, the Company is
 highly leveraged, and the ability to fund operations, make planned capital
 expenditures, make scheduled debt payments and refinance indebtedness
 depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which in turn, are
 subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and
 other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control.
 
 In the first three months of fiscal 1998, the Company used $2.1 million of
 cash in operating activities primarily as a result of increased inventory
 in preparation of the Company's peak selling season. During the first three
 months of fiscal 1998, the Company had a net increase in cash of $.1
 million.  The Company also used $2.3 million of cash in the first three
 months of fiscal 1998 for capital expenditures primarily related to tooling
 and  manufacturing equipment.
 
 At August  30, 1997, ICON Health had $184.5 million of revolving credit
 borrowings under the Credit Agreement.  At the close of the quarter
 additional availability under this Credit Agreement was $16.4  million. 
 Management believes that availability under this amended Credit Agreement
 is adequate to meet the Company's obligations. The revolving credit
 borrowings have increased by $5.7 million from $178.8 million reported at
 the end of  fiscal 1997.  Line of Credit borrowings have historically been
 used to fund increased inventory levels,  finance normal trade credit for
 customers, finance acquisitions, make interest payment on debt issued in
 connection with the Company's Recapitalization and to fund capital
 expenditures.
 
 
                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
