PART I

Item 1. Business

IDS Certificate Company (IDSC) is incorporated under the
laws of Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located in
the IDS Tower, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and its telephone number
is (612) 671-3131. American Express Financial Corporation
(formerly know as IDS Financial Corporation), a Delaware
corporation, IDS Tower 10, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55440-0010,
owns 100% of the outstanding voting securities of IDSC. As of
January 1, 1995, IDS Financial Corporation changed its name to
American Express Financial Corporation. American Express Financial
Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express
Company (American Express), a New York Corporation, with
headquarters at American Express Tower, World Financial Center, New
York, New York.

IDSC is a face-amount certificate investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act).
IDSC is in the business of issuing face-amount certificates.
Face-amount certificates issued by IDSC entitle the certificate
owner to receive, at maturity, a stated amount of money and
interest or credits declared from time to time by IDSC, in its
discretion.

IDSC is continuously engaged in new product development.
IDSC currently offers seven certificates to the public: "IDS
Future Value Certificate", "IDS Cash Reserve Certificate", "IDS
Flexible Savings Certificate" (formerly "IDS Variable Term
Certificate"), "IDS Installment Certificate", "IDS Stock Market
Certificate", "IDS Investors Certificate" and "IDS Special
Deposits". The IDS Special Deposits is only offered for sale in
England and is not registered for sale in the United
States. All certificates are currently sold without a sales
charge. The IDS Installment Certificate, the IDS Flexible
Savings Certificate, the IDS Stock Market Certificate, the IDS
Investors Certificate and the IDS Special Deposits currently bear
surrender charges for premature surrenders. All of the above
described certificates, except the IDS Special Deposits, are
distributed pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with American
Express Financial Advisors Inc. (formerly known as IDS Financial
Services Inc.), an affiliate of IDSC. With respect to the IDS
Investors Certificate and the IDS Stock Market Certificate,
American Express Financial Advisors Inc., in turn, has Selling
Agent Agreements with American Express Bank International (AEBI), a
subsidiary of American Express, and Coutts & Co. (USA)
International (Coutts), a subsidiary of NatWest PLC, for selling
the certificates. American Express Financial Advisors Inc. also
distributes the IDS Stock Market Certificate. With respect to the
IDS Special Deposits, IDSC has a Marketing Agreement with American
Express Bank Ltd. (AEB), a subsidiary of American Express, for
marketing the certificate. IDSC's board of directors has approved
a Distribution Agreement with American Express Service Corporation
(AESC) under which AESC could distribute IDS Stock Market
Certificate and potentially other IDS certificates through a direct
marketing channel of distributions, but there is no assurance that
IDS certificates will be so distributed.

PAGE 4
AEBI and Coutts are Edge Act corporations organized under the
provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act. American
Express Financial Advisors Inc. has entered into a consulting
agreement with AEBI under which AEBI provides consulting services
related to any selling agent agreements between American Express
Financial Advisors Inc. and other Edge Act corporations.

IDSC also offers one certificate in connection with certain
employee benefit plans available to eligible American Express
Financial Corporation employees, financial advisors and retirees.
This certificate is called the Series D-1 Investment Certificate.

Except for the IDS Investors Certificate and the IDS Special
Deposits, all of the certificates are available as qualified
investments for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), or 401(k)
plans and other qualified retirement plans.

The specified maturities of the certificates range from four
to twenty years. Within that maturity period, most certificates
have terms ranging from three to thirty-six months. Interest
rates change and certificate owners can surrender their
certificates without penalty at term end.

The IDS Future Value Certificate is a single payment
certificate on which IDSC guarantees interest in advance for a 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10-year maturity, at the buyer's option.

The IDS Cash Reserve Certificate is a single pay certificate
that permits additional investments and on which IDSC guarantees
interest in advance for a three-month term.

The IDS Flexible Savings Certificate is a single payment
certificate that permits a limited amount of additional payments
and on which IDSC guarantees interest in advance for a term of 6,
12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 months, and potentially other terms, at the
buyer's option.

The IDS Installment Certificate is an installment payment
certificate that declares interest in advance for a three-month
period and offers bonuses in the third through sixth years for
regular investments.

The IDS Stock Market Certificate is a single payment
certificate that offers the certificate owner the opportunity to
have all or part of his/her interest tied to stock market
performance, as measured by a broad stock market index, with return
of principal guaranteed by IDSC. After the first term, the holder
can also choose to earn a fixed rate of interest. In addition to
being sold to clients of American Express Financial Advisors Inc.
pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with American Express
Financial Advisors Inc., this certificate is sold by AEBI and
Coutts under Selling Agent Agreements with American Express
Financial Advisors Inc. to AEBI's clients and certain of Coutts'
clients, respectively, who are neither citizens nor residents of
the United States.

The IDS Investors Certificate is a single payment
certificate that generally permits additional payments within 15
days of term renewal. Interest rates are guaranteed in advance by
PAGE 5
IDSC for a term of 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 36 months, at the
buyer's option. This certificate is currently sold by AEBI and
Coutts, through Selling Agent Agreements with American Express
Financial Advisors Inc., only to AEBI's clients and certain of
Coutts' clients, respectively, who are neither citizens nor
residents of the United States.

The IDS Special Deposits is a single payment certificate
that generally permits additional payments within 15 days of term
renewal. Interest rates are guaranteed in advance by IDSC for a
term of 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 36 months, at the buyer's option.
This certificate is currently marketed by AEB in the London office,
through a Marketing Agreement with IDSC, only to AEB's clients who
are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. This
certificate is not registered for sale in the United States.

IDSC is by far the largest issuer of face-amount certificates
in the United States. However, such certificates compete with many
other investments offered by banks, savings and loan associations,
mutual funds, broker-dealers and others, which may be viewed by
potential clients as offering a comparable or superior combination
of safety and return on investment. In particular, some of IDSC's
products are designed to be competitive with the types of
investment offered by banks and thrifts. Since IDSC's face-amount
certificates are securities, their offer and sale are subject to
regulation under federal and state securities laws. IDSC's
certificates are backed by its qualified assets on deposit and are
not insured by any governmental agency or other entity.

For all of the certificates, except for the IDS Investors
Certificate and the IDS Special Deposits, IDSC's current policy
is to re-evaluate the certificate rates weekly to respond to
marketplace changes. For the IDS Investors Certificate and the
IDS Special Deposits, IDSC's current policy is to re-evaluate the
rates on a daily basis. For each product, IDSC refers to an
independent index to set the rates for new sales. Except for IDS
Special Deposits, IDSC must set the rates for an initial purchase
of the certificate within a specified range of the rate from such
index. For renewals, IDSC uses such rates as an indication of the
competitors' rates, but is not required to set rates within a
specified range.

For the IDS Flexible Savings Certificate, IDS Future Value
Certificate, IDS Cash Reserve Certificate and the IDS Series D-1
Investment Certificate, the published rates of the BANK RATE
MONITOR Top 25 Market Averagetm for various length bank
certificates of deposit are used as the guide in setting rates.
For the IDS Installment Certificate, the average interest rate for
money market deposit accounts, as published by the BANK RATE
MONITOR Top 25 Market Average (the BRM Average), is used as a guide
in setting rates. For the IDS Investors Certificate and IDS
Special Deposits, the published average rates for comparable length
dollar deposits available on an interbank basis, referred to as the
London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR), are used as a guide in
setting rates.
PAGE 6
To compete with popular short-term investment vehicles such
as certificates of deposit, money market certificates and money
market mutual funds that offer comparable yields, liquidity and
safety of principal, IDSC offers the IDS Cash Reserve Certificate
and the IDS Flexible Savings Certificate. The yields and
features on these products are designed to be competitive with
such short-term products. The IDS Investors Certificate and IDS
Special Deposits also compete with short-term products but use
LIBOR rates. The IDS Future Value Certificate has certain
features similar to those of zero coupon bonds and is intended to
compete with that type of investment as well as with intermediate
to long-term certificates of deposit. The IDS Installment
Certificate is intended to help clients save systematically and
may compete with passbook savings and NOW accounts. The IDS
Stock Market Certificate is designed to offer interest tied to a
major stock market index and principal guaranteed by IDSC. Certain
banks offer certificates of deposit that have features similar to
the Stock Market Certificate.

IDSC's gross income is derived principally from interest and
dividends generated by its investments. IDSC's net income is
determined by deducting from such gross income its provision for
certificate reserves, and other expenses, including taxes, the
fee paid to American Express Financial Corporation for advisory and
other services, the distribution fees paid to American Express
Financial Advisors Inc., and marketing fees paid to AEB.

The following table shows IDSC's certificate payments received and
certificate surrenders for the three years ended December 31, 1995:

In 1995, approximately 25% of single payment certificate
payments were through AEBI, AEB and Coutts and approximately 14% of
single payment certificate payments and 2% of installment
certificate payments were of tax-qualified certificates for use in
IRAs, 401(k) plans and other qualified retirement plans.

The certificates offered by American Express Financial
Advisors Inc. are sold pursuant to a distribution agreement which
is terminable on 60 days' notice and is subject to annual approval
by IDSC's Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors
who are not "interested persons" of American Express Financial
Advisors Inc. or IDSC as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The
agreement provides for the payment of distribution fees to American
Express Financial Advisors Inc. for services provided thereunder.
American Express Financial Advisors Inc. is a wholly owned
subsidiary of American Express Financial Corporation. For the
distribution of the IDS Investors Certificate, American Express
Financial Advisors Inc., in turn, has Selling Agent Agreements with
AEBI and Coutts. For marketing IDS Special Deposits, IDSC has a
Marketing Agreement with AEB. These agreements are terminable upon
60 days' notice and subject to annual review by the directors who
are not "interested persons" of American Express Financial Advisors
Inc. or IDSC.

IDSC receives advice, statistical data and recommendations
with respect to the acquisition and disposition of securities for
its portfolio from American Express Financial Corporation, under an
investment management agreement which is subject to annual renewal
by IDSC's Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors
who are not "interested persons" of American Express Financial
Corporation or IDSC.

IDSC is required to maintain "qualified investments" meeting
the standards of Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act. The amortized cost
of said investments must be at least equal to IDSC's net
liabilities on all outstanding face-amount certificates plus
$250,000. IDSC's qualified assets consist of cash and cash
equivalents, first mortgage loans on real estate, U.S. government
and government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds,
preferred stocks and other securities meeting specified standards.
IDSC is subject to annual examination and supervision by the State
of Minnesota, Department of Commerce (Banking Division).

Distribution fees on sales of certain certificates are
deferred and amortized over the estimated lives of the related
certificates, which is approximately 10 years. Upon surrender,
unamortized deferred distribution fees are charged against income.
Thus, these certificates must remain in effect for a period of time
to permit IDSC to recover such costs.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related
Stockholder Matters

There is no market for the Registrant's common stock since
it is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Financial
Corporation and, indirectly, of American Express. Frequency and
amount of dividends declared during the past two years are as
follows:

Dividend Payable Date Cash

For year ended December 31, 1995: $ None


Dividend Payable Date Cash

For year ended December 31, 1994:
February 10, 1994 $12,400,000
May 10, 1994 12,400,000
August 10, 1994 12,400,000
December 29, 1994 3,000,000
Total $40,200,000

Restriction on the Registrant's present or future ability to
pay dividends:

Certain series of installment certificates outstanding provide
that cash dividends may be paid by IDSC only in calendar years for
which additional credits of at least 1/2 of 1% on such series of
certificates have been authorized by IDSC. This restriction has
been removed for 1996 and 1997 by action of IDSC on additional
credits in excess of this requirement.

Appropriated retained earnings resulting from the
predeclaration of additional credits to IDSC's certificate holders
are not available for the payment of dividends by IDSC. In
addition, IDSC will discontinue issuance of certificates subject to
the predeclaration of additional credits and will make no further
predeclaration as to outstanding certificates if at any time the
capital and unappropriated retained earnings of IDSC should be less
than 5% of net certificate reserves (certificate reserves less
certificate loans). At December 31, 1995, the capital and
unappropriated retained earnings amounted to 5.65% of net
certificate reserves.

Item 7.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations

Results of operations:

IDS Certificate Company's (IDSC) earnings are derived primarily
from the after-tax yield on invested assets less investment
expenses and interest credited on certificate reserve liabilities.
Changes in earnings' trends occur largely due to changes in the
rates of return on investments and the rates of interest credited
to certificate holder accounts and also, the mix of fully taxable
and tax-advantaged investments in the IDSC portfolio.

During the years 1992 and 1993, total assets and certificate
reserve liabilities decreased due to certificate maturities and
surrenders exceeding certificate sales. The excess of certificate
maturities and surrenders over certificate sales in 1992 and 1993
primarily reflected lower accrual rates declared by IDSC in those
years, which in turn, reflected lower interest rates available in
the marketplace.

During the years 1994 and 1995, total assets and certificate
reserves increased due to certificate sales exceeding certificate
maturities and surrenders. The excess of certificate sales over
certificate maturities and surrenders resulted primarily from
higher accrual rates declared by IDSC during the last six months of
1994 and the first six months of 1995, reflecting rising interest
rates in the marketplace. The increase in total assets in 1995
reflects also an increase of $81 million in net unrealized
appreciation on investment securities classified as available for
sale. The increase in total assets in 1994 was tempered by $23
million of net unrealized depreciation on investment securities
classified as available for sale, net of deferred taxes of $13
million.

1995 Compared to 1994:

Gross investment income increased 24% due primarily to a higher
average balance of invested assets and slightly higher investment
yields.

The 7.1% increase in investment expenses resulted primarily from
higher distribution fees due to higher sales of certificates that
provide for no deferral of those fees, and higher investment
advisory and services fee due to a higher asset base on which the
fee is calculated. These increases were partially offset by lower
amortization of the cost of options and interest rate caps. The
lower amortization of interest rate caps reflects the net of $1.7
million of accelerated amortization and $5.6 million higher
interest earned under the cap agreements.

Net provision for certificate reserves increased 65% reflecting a
higher average balance of certificate reserves and higher accrual
rates.


PAGE 11
The increase in income tax benefit resulted primarily from a
greater portion of net investment income before income tax benefit
being attributable to tax-advantaged income.

1994 Compared to 1993:

Gross investment income decreased 12% due primarily to a lower
average balance of invested assets and slightly lower investment
yields.

The 10% decrease in investment expenses resulted primarily from
lower amortization of the cost of interest rate caps and $2.3
million of interest earned under the cap agreements in 1994. Lower
amortization of deferred distribution fees, and lower investment
advisory and services fees due to a lower average asset base on
which the fee is calculated contributed also to the decrease in
investment expenses.

Net provision for certificate reserves decreased 13% reflecting
lower accrual rates during the first six months of the year and a
lower average balance of certificate reserves.

The decrease in income tax benefit resulted primarily from lower
tax-advantaged income.

Liquidity and cash flow:

IDSC's principal sources of cash are reserve payments from sales of
face-amount certificates and cash flows from investments. In turn,
IDSC's principal uses of cash are payments to certificate holders
for matured and surrendered certificates, purchase of investments
and payments of dividends to its Parent.

Certificate sales volume increased 38% in 1995, reflecting higher
accrual rates and clients' ongoing desire for safety of principal.
Sales of certificates totaled $1.5 billion compared to $1.1
billion in 1994 and $.6 billion during 1993. Certificate sales in
1995 benefitted also from a special introductory promotion of
IDSC's 11-month term Flexible Savings certificate.

The special promotion of the 11-month term Flexible Savings
certificate was offered from May 10, 1995 to July 3, 1995, and
applied only to sales of new certificate accounts during the
promotion period. Certificates sold during the promotion period
received a special interest rate of 7.0% for the 11-month term and
totaled $562 million.

IDSC, as an issuer of face-amount certificates, is affected
whenever there is a significant change in interest rates. In view
of the uncertainty in the investment markets and due to the
short-term repricing nature of certificate reserve liabilities,
IDSC continues to invest in securities that provide for more
immediate, periodic interest/principal payments, resulting in
improved liquidity. To accomplish this, IDSC continues to invest
much of its cash flow in mortgage-backed securities and
intermediate-term bonds.

PAGE 12
IDSC's investment program is designed to maintain an investment
portfolio that will produce the highest possible after-tax yield
within acceptable risk standards with additional emphasis on
liquidity. The program considers investment securities as
investments acquired to meet anticipated certificate holder
obligations.

Effective Jan. 1, 1994, IDSC adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Under the SFAS No.
115, debt securities that IDSC has both the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt
securities IDSC does not have the positive intent to hold to
maturity, as well as all marketable equity securities, are
classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. The
available-for-sale classification does not mean that IDSC expects
to sell these securities, but that under SFAS No. 115 positive
intent criteria, these securities are available to meet possible
liquidity needs should there be significant changes in market
interest rates or certificate holder demand. See notes 1 and 3 to
the financial statements for additional information relating to
SFAS No. 115.

At Dec. 31, 1995, securities classified as held to maturity and
carried at amortized cost were $1.0 billion. Securities
classified as available for sale and carried at fair value were
$2.4 billion. These securities, which comprise 90% of IDSC's total
invested assets, are well diversified. Of these securities, 97%
are of investment grade and, other than U.S. Government Agency
mortgage-backed securities, no one issuer represents more than 1%
of these securities. See note 3 to financial statements for
additional information on ratings and diversification.

During the year ended Dec. 31, 1995, investment securities,
primarily municipal bonds, with an amortized cost and fair value of
$112 million and $117 million, respectively, were reclassified from
held to maturity to available for sale. The reclassification was
made on Dec. 4, 1995, as a result of IDSC adopting the FASB Special
Report, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". There were
no other transfers of securities during the years 1995 and 1994.

Derivative financial instruments:

IDSC enters into transactions involving interest rate caps, and
purchased and written call options to manage its exposure to rising
interest rates. IDSC does not enter into such transactions for
trading purposes. There is a possibility that the value of these
instruments will change due to fluctuations in a factor from which
the instruments derive their values. IDSC is not subject to this
market risk because these instruments are largely used to hedge
such risks, and therefore, the cash flow and income effects of the
instruments are inverse to the effects of the underlying
transactions. See note 9 to financial statements for additional
information regarding derivative financial instruments.


PAGE 13
Capital contributions:

To maintain its regulatory capital requirements, IDSC received a
capital contribution from its Parent of $28.5 million in 1995.

Ratios:

The ratio of stockholder's equity, excluding net unrealized holding
gains and losses on investment securities, to total assets less
certificate loans and net unrealized holding gains and losses on
investment securities at Dec. 31, 1995 was 5.79% compared to 5.49%
in 1994. IDSC intends to manage this ratio to 5.0% in 1996, which
meets current regulatory requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




The Board of Directors and Security Holders
IDS Certificate Company:



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of IDS
Certificate Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express
Financial Corporation, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules
listed in the index at Item 8. These financial statements and
schedules are the responsibility of the management of IDS
Certificate Company. 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 and schedules are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and schedules. Our procedures included confirmation of
investments owned as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 by
correspondence with custodians and brokers. 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 financial position of IDS
Certificate Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, IDS Certificate
Company changed its method of accounting for certain investments in
debt and equity securities in 1994.

IDS Certificate Company

Responsibility for Preparation of Financial Statements

The management of IDS Certificate Company (IDSC) is responsible for
the preparation and fair presentation of its financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the
circumstances, and include amounts based on the best judgment of
management. IDSC's management is also responsible for the accuracy
and consistency of other financial information included in this
Form 10-K.

In recognition of its responsibility for the integrity and
objectivity of data in the financial statements, IDSC maintains a
system of internal control over financial reporting. The system is
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance with
respect to the reliability of IDSC's financial statements. The
concept of reasonable assurance is based on the notion that the
cost of the internal control system should not exceed the benefits
derived.

The internal control system is founded on an ethical climate and
includes an organizational structure with clearly defined lines of
responsibility, policies and procedures, and the careful selection
and training of employees. Internal auditors monitor and assess
the effectiveness of the internal control system and report their
findings to management throughout the year. IDSC's independent
auditors are engaged to express an opinion on the year-end
financial statements and, with the coordinated support of the
internal auditors, review the financial records and related data
and test the internal control system over financial reporting.

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting
policies

Nature of business

IDS Certificate Company (IDSC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
American Express Financial Corporation (Parent), which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of American Express Company. IDSC is registered
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("the 1940 Act") and is in the business of issuing face-amount
investment certificates. The certificates issued by IDSC are not
insured by any government agency. IDSC's certificates are sold
primarily by American Express Financial Advisors Inc.'s (an
affiliate) field force operating in 50 states, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico. IDSC's Parent acts as investment advisor
for IDSC.

IDSC currently offers eight types of certificates with specified
maturities ranging from four to twenty years. Within their
specified maturity, most certificates have interest rate terms of
one to thirty-six months. In addition, one type of certificate has
interest tied, in whole or in part, to any upward movement in a
broad-based stock market index. Except for two types of
certificates, all of the certificates are available as qualified
investments for Individual Retirement Accounts or 401(k) plans and
other qualified retirement plans.

IDSC's gross income is derived primarily from interest and
dividends generated by its investments. IDSC's net income is
determined by deducting from such gross income its provision for
certificate reserves, and other expenses, including taxes, the fee
paid to Parent for investment advisory and other services, and the
distribution fees paid to American Express Financial Advisors Inc.

Described below are certain accounting policies that are important
to an understanding of the accompanying financial statements.

Basis of financial statement presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. IDSC uses the
equity method of accounting for its wholly owned unconsolidated
subsidiary, which is the method prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) for issuers of face-amount certificates.
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses during
the year then ended. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

PAGE 31

Fair values of financial instruments

The fair values of financial instruments disclosed in the notes to
financial statements are estimates based upon current market
conditions and perceived risks, and require varying degrees of
management judgment.

Preferred stock dividend income

IDSC recognizes dividend income from cumulative redeemable
preferred stocks with fixed maturity amounts on an accrual basis
similar to that used for recognizing interest income on debt
securities.

Securities

Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value. IDSC has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash in
banks and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
or less at acquisition and are not interest rate sensitive.

Debt securities that IDSC has both the positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities
IDSC does not have the positive intent to hold to maturity, as well
as all marketable equity securities, are classified as available
for sale and carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and
losses on securities classified as available for sale are carried,
net of deferred income taxes, as a separate component of
stockholder's equity.

The basis for determining cost in computing realized gains and
losses on securities is specific identification. When there is a
decline in value that is other than temporary, the securities are
carried at estimated realizable value with the amount of adjustment
included in income.

First mortgage loans on real estate

Mortgage loans are carried at amortized cost, less reserves for
losses, which is the basis for determining any realized gains or
losses.

Certificates

Investment certificates may be purchased either with a lump-sum
payment or by installment payments. Certificate holders are
entitled to receive at maturity a definite sum of money. Payments
from certificate holders are credited to investment certificate
reserves. Investment certificate reserves accumulate at specified
percentage rates. Reserves also are maintained for advance
payments made by certificate holders, accrued interest thereon, and
for additional credits and accrued interest thereon. On
certificates allowing for the deduction of a surrender charge, the
cash surrender values may be less than accumulated investment
certificate reserves prior to maturity dates. Cash surrender
values on certificates allowing for no surrender charge are equal
PAGE 32
to certificate reserves. The payment distribution, reserve
accumulation rates, cash surrender values, reserve values and other
matters are governed by the 1940 Act.

Deferred distribution fee expense

On certain series of certificates, distribution fees are deferred
and amortized over the estimated lives of the related certificates,
which is approximately 10 years. Upon surrender, unamortized
deferred distribution fees are charged against income.

Federal income taxes

IDSC's taxable income or loss is included in the consolidated
federal income tax return of American Express Company. IDSC
provides for income taxes on a separate return basis, except that,
under an agreement between Parent and American Express Company, tax
benefits are recognized for losses to the extent they can be used
in the consolidated return. It is the policy of Parent and its
subsidiaries that Parent will reimburse a subsidiary for any tax
benefits recorded.

2. Deposit of assets and maintenance of qualified assets

A) Under the provisions of its certificates and the 1940 Act, IDSC
was required to have qualified assets (as that term is defined in
Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act) in the amount of $3,619,188 and
$2,895,226 at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. IDSC had
qualified assets of $3,838,482 at Dec. 31, 1995 and $3,040,416 at
Dec. 31, 1994, excluding net unrealized appreciation on
available-for-sale securities of $45,265 at Dec. 31, 1995 and net
unrealized depreciation of $35,627 at Dec. 31, 1994.

Qualified assets are valued in accordance with such provisions of
Minnesota Statutes as are applicable to investments of life
insurance companies. Qualified assets for which no provision for
valuation is made in such statutes are valued in accordance with
rules, regulations or orders prescribed by the SEC. These values
are the same as financial statement carrying values, except for
debt securities classified as available for sale and all marketable
equity securities, which are carried at fair value in the financial
statements but are valued at amortized cost for qualified asset and
deposit maintenance purposes.

B) Pursuant to provisions of the certificates, the 1940 Act, the
central depositary agreement and to requirements of various states,
qualified assets of IDSC were deposited as follows:

The assets on deposit at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of
securities having a deposit value of $3,435,074 and $2,659,676,
respectively; mortgage loans of $229,554 and $252,263,
respectively; and other assets of $14,081 and $28,016,
respectively. Mortgage loans on deposit include an affiliated
mortgage loan.

American Express Trust Company is the central depositary for IDSC.
See note 7C.

3. Investments in securities

A) Fair values of investments in securities represent market
prices and estimated fair values when quoted prices are not
available. Estimated fair values are determined by IDSC using
established procedures, involving review of market indexes, price
levels of current offerings and comparable issues, price estimates
and market data from independent brokers and financial files. The
procedures are reviewed annually. IDSC's vice president -
investments reports to the board of directors on an annual basis
regarding such pricing sources and procedures to provide assurance
that fair value is being achieved.

The following is a summary of securities held to maturity and
securities available for sale at Dec. 31, 1995 and Dec. 31, 1994.

During the years ended Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, there were no
securities classified as trading securities.

The proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities and the
gross realized gains and gross realized losses on those sales
during the years ended Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, were as follows:

1995 1994

Proceeds $83,970 $265,008
Gross realized gains 36 363

Sales of held-to-maturity securities, due to significant credit
deterioration, during the years ended Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, were
as follows:


1995 1994

Amortized cost $22,782 $3,158
Gross realized gains 2 5
Gross realized losses 479 -

During the year ended Dec. 31, 1995, securities with an amortized
cost and fair value of $111,967 and $116,882, respectively, were
reclassified from held to maturity to available for sale. The
reclassification was made on Dec. 4, 1995, as a result of IDSC
adopting the FASB Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of
Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."

B) Investments in securities with fixed maturities comprised 90%
and 84% of IDSC's total invested assets at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Securities are rated by Moody's and Standard & Poors
(S&P), or by Parent's internal analysts, using criteria similar to
Moody's and S&P, when a public rating does not exist. A summary of
investments in securities with fixed maturities by rating of
investment is as follows:


Rating 1995 1994

Aaa/AAA 44% 36%

Aa/A 2 3
A/A 23 25

100% 100%

Of the securities rated Aaa/AAA, 92% at Dec. 31, 1995 and 88% at
Dec. 31, 1994 are U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities
that are not rated by a public rating agency. Approximately 11% at
Dec. 31, 1995 and 17% at Dec. 31, 1994 of other securities with
fixed maturities are rated by Parent's internal analysts. At Dec.
PAGE 36
31, 1995 and 1994 no one issuer, other than U.S. Government Agency
mortgage-backed securities, is greater than 1% of IDSC's total
investment in securities with fixed maturities.

C) IDSC reserves freedom of action with respect to its acquisition
of restricted securities that offer advantageous and desirable
investment opportunities. In a private negotiation, IDSC may
purchase for its portfolio all or part of an issue of restricted
securities. Since IDSC would intend to purchase such securities
for investment and not for distribution, it would not be acting as
a distributor if such securities are resold by IDSC at a later
date.

The fair values of restricted securities are determined by the
board of directors using the procedures and factors described in
paragraph A of note 3.

In the event IDSC were to be deemed to be a distributor of the
restricted securities, it is possible that IDSC would be required
to bear the costs of registering those securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, although in most cases such costs would be
borne by the issuer of the restricted securities.

4. Investments in first mortgage loans on real estate

As of Jan. 1, 1995, IDSC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan" (SFAS No. 114), as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" (SFAS
No. 118). The adoption of the new rules did not have a material
impact on IDSC's results of operations or financial condition.

SFAS No. 114 applies to all loans except for smaller-balance
homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment.
Impairment is measured as the excess of the loan's recorded
investment over its present value of expected principal and
interest payments discounted at the loan's effective interest rate,
or the fair value of collateral. The amount of the impairment is
recorded in a reserve for loss on mortgage loans.

Based on management's judgment as to the ultimate collectibility of
principal, interest payments received are either recognized as
income or applied to the recorded investment in the loan until it
has been recovered.

The reserve for loss on mortgage loans is maintained at a level
that management believes is appropriate to absorb estimated credit
losses in the mortgage loan portfolio. The level of the reserve
account is determined based on several factors, including
historical experience, expected future principal and interest
payments, estimated collateral values, and current and anticipated
economic and political conditions. Management regularly evaluates
the adequacy of the reserve for loss on mortgage loans.

At Dec. 31, 1995, IDSC's recorded investment in impaired mortgage
loans was $1,004 and the reserve for loss on that amount was $611.

PAGE 37
During 1995, the average recorded investment in impaired mortgage
loans was $1,052.

IDSC recognized $53 of interest income related to impaired mortgage
loans for the year ended Dec. 31, 1995.

There were no changes in the reserve for loss on mortgage loans of
$611 during the year ended Dec. 31, 1995.

At Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately 6% and 9%, respectively,
of IDSC's invested assets were first mortgage loans on real estate.

A summary of first mortgage loans by region and by type of real
estate is as follows:

Region 1995 1994

East North Central 22% 25%
South Atlantic 22 24
West North Central 19 18

The carrying amounts and fair values of first mortgage loans on
real estate are as follows at Dec. 31. The fair values are
estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using market
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms
to borrowers of similar credit quality.

At Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, there were no commitments for fundings
of first mortgage loans. If there were any commitments, IDSC
employs policies and procedures to ensure the creditworthiness of
the borrowers and that funds will be available on the funding date.
IDSC's first mortgage loan fundings are restricted to 75% or less
of the market value of the real estate at the time of the loan
funding.

5. Certificate reserves

Reserves maintained on outstanding certificates have been computed
in accordance with the provisions of the certificates and Section
28 of the 1940 Act. The average rates of accumulation on
certificate reserves at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994 were:

$2,887,405

A) There is no minimum rate of accrual on these reserves.
Interest is declared periodically, quarterly or annually, in
accordance with the terms of the separate series of certificates.

B) On certain series of single payment certificates, additional
interest is predeclared for periods greater than one year. At Dec.
31, 1995, $18,878 of retained earnings had been appropriated for
the predeclared additional interest, which represents the
difference between certificate reserves on these series, calculated
on a statutory basis, and the reserves maintained per books.

C) Certain series of installment certificates guarantee accrual of
interest on advance payments at an average of 3.13%. IDSC has
increased the rate of accrual to 4.85% through April 30, 1997. An
appropriation of retained earnings amounting to $50 has been made,
which represents the estimated additional accrual that will result
from the increase granted by IDSC.
PAGE 39
D) IDS Stock Market Certificate enables the certificate holder to
participate in any relative rise in a major stock market index
without risking loss of principal. Generally the certificate has a
term of 12 months and may continue for up to 14 successive terms.
The reserve balance at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994 was $211,093 and
$263,494, respectively.

E) The carrying amounts and fair values of certificate reserves
consisted of the following at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994. Fair values
of certificate reserves with interest rate terms of one year or
less approximated the carrying values less any applicable surrender
charges.

The fair values for other certificate reserves are determined by a
discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently
offered for certificates with similar remaining terms, less any
applicable surrender charges.

6. Dividend restriction

Certain series of installment certificates outstanding provide that
cash dividends may be paid by IDSC only in calendar years for which
additional credits of at least one-half of 1% on such series of
certificates have been authorized by IDSC. This restriction has
been removed for 1996 and 1997 by action of IDSC on additional
credits in excess of this requirement.

7. Fees paid to Parent and affiliated companies ($ not in
thousands)

A) The basis of computing fees paid or payable to Parent for
investment advisory and services is:

The investment advisory and services agreement with Parent provides
for a graduated scale of fees equal on an annual basis to 0.75% on
the first $250 million of total book value of assets of IDSC, 0.65%
on the next $250 million, 0.55% on the next $250 million, 0.50% on
the next $250 million and 0.45% on the amount in excess of $1
billion. The fee is payable monthly in an amount equal to
one-twelfth of each of the percentages set forth above. Excluded
from assets for purposes of this computation are first mortgage
loans, real estate and any other asset on which IDSC pays a service
fee.

B) The basis of computing fees paid or payable to American Express
Financial Advisors Inc. (an affiliate) for distribution services
is:
PAGE 40
Fees payable to American Express Financial Advisors Inc. on sales
of IDSC's certificates are based upon terms of agreements giving
American Express Financial Advisors Inc. the exclusive right to
distribute the certificates covered under the agreements. The
agreements provide for payment of fees over a period of time. The
aggregate fees payable under the agreements per $1,000 face amount
of installment certificates and $1,000 purchase price of single
payments, and a summary of the periods over which the fees are
payable, shown by series are:

Single-payment certificates 60.00 60.00 - -
Future Value certificates 50.00 50.00 - -

Fees on Cash Reserve and Flexible Savings (formerly Variable Term)
certificates are paid at a rate of 0.25% of the purchase price at
the time of issuance and 0.25% of the reserves maintained for these
certificates at the beginning of the second and subsequent quarters
from issue date.

Fees on the Investors Certificate are paid at an annualized rate of
1% of the reserves maintained for the certificates. Fees are paid
at the end of each term on certificates with a one, two or
three-month term. Fees are paid each quarter from date of issuance
on certificates with a six, 12, 24 or 36-month term.

Fees on the Stock Market Certificate are paid at a rate of 1.25% of
the purchase price on the first day of the certificate's term and
1.25% of the reserves maintained for these certificates at the
beginning of each subsequent term.

(a) At the end of the sixth through the 10th year, an additional
fee is payable of 0.5% of the daily average balance of the
certificate reserve maintained during the sixth through the 10th
year, respectively.

C) The basis of computing depositary fees paid or payable to
American Express Trust Company (an affiliate) is:



Maintenance charge per account 5 cents per $1,000 of assets on deposit

Transaction charge $20 per transaction

Security loan activity:
Depositary Trust Company
receive/deliver $20 per transaction
Physical receive/deliver $25 per transaction
Exchange collateral $15 per transaction

A transaction consists of the receipt or withdrawal of securities
and commercial paper and/or a change in the security position. The
charges are payable quarterly except for maintenance, which is an
annual fee.
PAGE 41

D) The basis for computing fees paid or payable to American
Express Bank Ltd. (an affiliate) for the distribution of the IDS
Special Deposits certificate on an annualized basis is:

1.25% of the reserves maintained for the certificates on an amount
from $100,000 to $249,000, 0.80% on an amount from $250,000 to
$499,000, 0.65% on an amount from $500,000 to $999,000 and
0.50% on an amount $1,000,000 or more. Fees are paid at the end of
each term on certificates with a one, two or three-month term.
Fees are paid at the end of each quarter from date of issuance on
certificates with a six, 12, 24 or 36-month term.

8. Income taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) as shown in the statement of
operations for the three years ended Dec. 31, consists of:


1995 1994 1993

Federal:
Current ($6,285) ($8,743) ($19,777)
Deferred (2,652) 3,933 11,446
(8,937) (4,810) (8,331)
State (43) 100 349

($8,980) ($4,710) ($7,982)


Income tax expense (benefit) differs from that computed by using
the U.S. Statutory rate of 35%. The principal causes of the
difference in each year are shown below:

1995 1994 1993

Federal tax expense at U.S. statutory rate $6,307 $12,642 $13,178
Tax-exempt interest (3,339) (4,205) (4,929)
Dividend exclusion (12,166) (13,862) (17,326)
Change in statutory rates - - (406)
Other, net 261 615 1,152

Federal tax benefit ($8,937) ($4,810) ($8,331)


Deferred income taxes result from the net tax effects of temporary
differences. Temporary differences are differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in
the financial statements that will result in differences between
income for tax purposes and income for financial statement purposes

9. Derivative financial instruments

IDSC enters into transactions involving derivative financial
instruments as an end user (nontrading). IDSC uses these
instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, including
hedging specific transactions. IDSC manages risks associated with
these instruments as described below.

Market risk is the possibility that the value of the derivative
financial instrument will change due to fluctuations in a factor
from which the instrument derives its value, primarily an interest
rate or a major market index. IDSC is not impacted by market risk
related to derivatives held because derivatives are largely used to
manage risk and, therefore, the cash flows and income effects of
the derivatives are inverse to the effects of the underlying hedged
transactions.

Credit exposure is the possibility that the counterparty will not
fulfill the terms of the contract. IDSC monitors credit exposure
related to derivative financial instruments through established
approval procedures, including setting concentration limits by
counterparty, reviewing credit ratings and requiring collateral
where appropriate. The majority of IDSC's counterparties to the
interest rate caps are rated A or better by nationally recognized
rating agencies. The counterparties to the call options are five
major broker/dealers.

The notional or contract amount of a derivative financial
instrument is generally used to calculate the cash flows that are
received or paid over the life of the agreement. Notional amounts
do not represent market risk or credit exposure and are not
recorded on the balance sheet.

Credit exposure related to derivative financial instruments is
measured by the replacement cost of those contracts at the balance
sheet date. The replacement cost represents the fair value of the
instrument, and is determined by market values, dealer quotes or
pricing models.


IDSC's holdings of derivative financial instruments were as follows
at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994.

Total $1,211,496 $22,716 $33,613 $33,613

Liabilities:
Written call options $189,443 $2,070 $1,779 $-


The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on
market values, dealer quotes or pricing models. The interest rate
caps expire on various dates from 1996 to 1997. The options expire
in 1996.

Interest rate caps and options are used to manage IDSC's exposure
to rising interest rates. These instruments are used primarily to
protect the margin between the interest rate earned on investments
and the interest rate accrued to related investment certificate
holders.

The interest rate caps are quarterly reset caps and IDSC earns
interest on the notional amount to the extent the London Interbank
Offering Rate exceeds the reference rates specified in the cap
agreements. These reference rates range from 4% to 9%. The cost
of these caps of $3,362 at Dec. 31, 1995 is being amortized over
the terms of the agreements on a straight line basis and is
included in other qualified assets. The amortization, net of any
interest earned, is included in investment expenses.

IDSC offers a series of certificates which pay interest based upon
the relative change in a major stock market index between the
beginning and end of the certificates' term. The certificate
holders have the option of participating in the full amount of
increase in the index during the term (subject to a specified
maximum) or a lesser percentage of the increase plus a guaranteed
minimum rate of interest. As a means of hedging its obligations
under the provisions of these certificates, IDSC purchases and
writes call options on the major market index. The options are
cash settlement options, that is, there is no underlying security
to deliver at the time the contract is closed out.


PAGE 44

The option contracts are less than one year in term. The premiums
paid or received on these index options are reported in other
qualified assets or other liabilities, as appropriate, and are
amortized into investment expenses over the life of the option.
The intrinsic value of these index options is also reported in
other qualified assets or other liabilities, as appropriate. The
unrealized gains and losses related to the changes in the intrinsic
value of these options are recognized currently in provision for
certificate reserves.

and 1994.

10. Fair values of financial instruments


IDSC is required to disclose fair value information for most on-
and off-balance sheet financial instruments for which it is
practical to estimate that value. The carrying value of certain
financial instruments such as trade receivables and payables
approximates the fair value. Non-financial instruments, such as
deferred distribution fees, are excluded from required disclosure.
IDSC's off-balance sheet intangible assets, such as IDSC's name and
future earnings of the core business are also excluded. IDSC's
management believes the value of these excluded assets is
significant. The fair value of IDSC, therefore, cannot be
estimated by aggregating the amounts presented.

A summary of fair values of financial instruments as of Dec. 31, is
as follows:

are not undue burden on the properties, have been excluded from
the determination of "prior liens".

(c) In this schedule III, carrying amount of mortgage loans represents
unpaid principal balances plus unamortized premiums less
unamortized dicounts and allowance for loss.

(d) Interest in arrears for less than three months has been disregarded
in computing the total amount of principal subject to delinquent
interest. The amounts of mortgage loans being forclosed are
also included in amounts subject to delinquent interest.

(e) Information as to interest due and accrued at the end of the period
is shown by type of mortgage loan. Information as to interest
due and accrued for the various classes within the types of
mortgage loans is not readily available and the obtaining
thereof would involve unreasonable effort and expense.

The Company does not accrue interest on loans which are over three
months delinquent.

(f) Information as to interest income by type and class of loan has been
omitted because it is not readily available and the obtaining
thereof would involve unreasonable effort and expense. In lieu
thereof, the average gross interest rates (exclusive of amort-
tization of discounts and premiums) on mortgage loans held at
December 31, 1995 are shown by type and class of loan.

The average gross interest rates on mortgage loans held at
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 are summarized as follows:
