NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  include the accounts of ICON
Fitness Corporation ("ICON Fitness"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, IHF Holdings,
Inc. ("IHF Holdings"),  and its wholly-owned subsidiary,  ICON Health & Fitness,
Inc. ("ICON  Health"),  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the
"Company").  ICON Fitness' parent company, IHF Capital, Inc. ("IHF Capital"), is
not a registrant.

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  management's   opinion,   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.

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (the  FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income"  (SFAS 130) and  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 131,
"Disclosures  about  Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information"  (SFAS
131). The Company adopted SFAS 130 and 131 on June 1, 1998. SFAS 130 establishes
standards  for  reporting   comprehensive  income  and  its  components  in  the
consolidated condensed financial statements.  There were no material differences
between net income and  comprehensive  income for the three  months ended August
29, 1998. SFAS 131 establishes  standards for reporting information on operating
segments and will first be applicable to the May 31, 1999 year end  consolidated
financial statements.


Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
  Results of Operations.

This quarterly Report on Form 10Q 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.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

The Company utilizes and is dependent upon data processing  systems and software
to conduct its business.  The data processing systems and software include those
developed and maintained by the Company's  third-party  data processing  vendors
and  software  which is run on  in-house  computer  networks.  The  Company  has
reviewed and assessed all hardware and software to confirm that it will function
properly in the year 2000. With respect to internal systems,  the results of the
evaluation to date have not revealed any year 2000 issues that, in the Company's
opinion,  create a material risk of disruption  of  operations.  With respect to
outside vendors and shippers, those that have been contacted have indicated that
their hardware or software is or will be Year 2000 compliant in time frames that
meet regulatory requirements. Evaluation of these issues is continuing and there
can be no assurance that additional  issues, not presently known to the Company,
will not be discovered  which could present a material risk of disruption to the
Company's operations.



<PAGE>



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  consolidated net sales
for the first  quarter of fiscal  1999 and for each  quarter in fiscal  1998 and
1997:

                          First     Second      Third     Fourth
                         Quarter    Quarter     Quarter   Quarter
                         ----------------------------------------
          Fiscal 1999    $117.2      ---         --         --
          Fiscal 1998    $127.5     $236.3     $252.0     $133.5
          Fiscal 1997    $125.8     $249.5     $248.7     $212.2

Operating Results for the First Quarters of Fiscal 1999 and 1998

During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, net sales decreased  $10.3 million,  or
8.1% to $117.2  million from $127.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Domestic  treadmill  sales for the first  quarter of fiscal 1999  accounted  for
approximately  55% of total net sales versus 53% in the first  quarter of fiscal
1998.  First quarter fiscal 1998,  domestic  treadmill  sales were $64.2 million
compared to $67.3 million, which is a $3.1 million decrease.  Other decreases in
sales include  airwalkers of $5.4 million,  ab shapers of $1.2 million,  upright
rowers of $1.2  million,  gyms and benches of $1.2  million,  and  international
sales  declined  $2.6  million.  The sale of softgoods  increased  $1.8 million,
stationary bike sales increased $1.1 million,  home spas increased $1.1 million,
and elliptical sales increased  approximately  $0.4 million over the same period
of a year ago.  Sales for the first  quarter are  consistent  with  management's
expectations and budgeted numbers for the first quarter.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $31.7 million, or 27.0% of
net sales,  compared  to $34.8  million,  or 27.3% of net  sales,  for the first
quarter of fiscal  1998.  Included  in the first  quarter of fiscal 1998 cost of
goods sold,  was a one time  step-up  expense for the  purchase of  HealthRider,
Weider  Sports and CanCo  inventory in the amount of $0.3  million,  which had a
negative 0.3% effect on the margin. Without this charge, the decrease of 0.6% in
profit margin is attributable to the changes in product mix.

Selling expenses were $20.5 million, or 17.5% of net sales, in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999 compared to $26.6 million,  or 20.9% of net sales,  for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. This decrease is attributed  primarily to a reduction in
advertising  expenses that have decreased by approximately  $3.1 million for the
first  quarter of 1999 versus the first quarter of 1998.  Other selling  expense
decreases included a reduction in bad debt expense of approximately $1.0 million
and  approximately a $0.5 million reduction in each of customer service expense,
freight out, salaries and wages and other.

Research and development  expenses were $1.7 million,  or 1.4% of net sales, for
the first  quarter of fiscal 1999  compared to $1.9 million or 1.5% of net sales
for the first  quarter  of 1998.  This  decrease  both in dollar  value and as a
percentage of sales is attributable  to management's  efforts to reduce costs in
the current year.




<PAGE>


General and  administrative  expenses  totaled  $12.8  million,  or 10.9% of net
sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $13.8 million,  or 10.9%
of  net  sales,  for  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1998.  This  decrease  of
approximately $1.0 million in general and administrative  expenses for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 is  attributable  to a decrease in legal expenses of $0.4
million,  distribution  expenses  of $0.4  million,  salaries  and wages of $0.2
million and insurance  claims of $0.2  million.  These  decreased  expenses were
offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $0.2 million.

As a result of the foregoing factors,  operating losses were $3.4 million in the
first  quarter of fiscal  1999,  compared to losses of $7.6 million in the first
quarter of fiscal  1998.  The Company  has  focused on reducing  expenses in the
current fiscal year. This effort has shown in the decreased first quarter losses
reported by the Company.

Interest  expense  was $7.5  million  for ICON  Health,  $11.2  million  for IHF
Holdings and $14.7  million for ICON Fitness in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to $8.5  million for ICON  Health,  $11.6  million for IHF Holdings and
$14.6  million  for ICON  Fitness  for the first  quarter  of fiscal  1998.  The
decrease in interest  expense for the operating  company is due to a lower level
of outstanding  indebtedness in fiscal 1999 as a result of decreased  borrowings
under the credit agreement.  However, in IHF Holdings and ICON Fitness, there is
an  additional  level of  borrowings  with respect to accretion of the principal
balances of the Company's outstanding indentures.

The income tax benefit is $4.4  million for ICON  Health,  $5.5  million for IHF
Holdings and $6.8 million for ICON Fitness for the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
compared  with a tax benefit of $6.4 million for ICON  Health,  $7.4 million for
IHF Holdings and $8.5 for ICON Fitness  during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
The  decreased  tax benefit in the first  quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 is a result of the decreased losses of the Company.

As a result of the  foregoing  factors,  net losses  were $8.0  million for ICON
Health,  $10.9  million for IHF Holdings and $13.3  million for ICON Fitness for
the first  quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to net losses in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 of $10.9 million for ICON Health, $13.3 million for IHF Holdings and
$15.4 million for ICON Fitness.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

In the first three months of fiscal 1999, the Company used $19.5 million of cash
in operating activities compared to $2.1 for the same period in fiscal 1998. The
majority of this use of cash  relates to an increase in  inventory.  The Company
used $2.6 million of cash for investing  activities in the first three months of
fiscal 1999,  compared to $2.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 1998.
This cash was used for capital expenditures, the majority of which is related to
tooling and other  manufacturing  equipment.  During the first quarter of fiscal
1999,  the Company  received  cash of $22.6 million from  financing  activities,
compared to $4.4 million received in the same period in 1998.

The Company is in compliance  with all financial  covenants  associated with the
amended Credit  Agreement.  ICON Health had $172.5  million of revolving  credit
borrowings  under the Credit  Agreement  at August 29,  1998  compared to $184.5
million at August 30, 1998. The revolving  credit  borrowings  have increased by
$24.0 million from $148.5  million  reported at the end of fiscal 1998.  Line of
Credit borrowings have been used to fund inventory levels,  finance normal trade
credit for customers,  make interest  payments on debt  obligations  and to fund
capital expenditures.  The term loans have decreased from $19.5 million reported
at the end of fiscal 1998 to $17.8 million at August 29, 1998.  This decrease is
a result of scheduled  debt payments.  Management  believes that cash flows from
operations and the Company'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 a period of at
least one year.  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.
