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 , 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 has filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to change the Company's name
to American Express Certificate Company effective April 26, 2000.

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
nine certificates to the public: "IDS Cash Reserve Certificate," "IDS Flexible
Savings Certificate" (formerly "IDS Variable Term Certificate"), "IDS
Installment Certificate," "IDS Preferred Investors Certificate," "IDS Stock
Market Certificate" (marketed in some channels as "American Express Stock Market
Certificate"), "IDS Market Strategy Certificate," "American Express Investors
Certificate" (including a form of American Express Investors Certificate offered
to select investors who, among other things, invest at least $50 million in the
certificate), and "American Express Special Deposits." The American Express
Special Deposits is only marketed through offices of American Express Bank Ltd.
(AEB) in England and Hong Kong 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 (including the American Express Stock Market Certificate),
the IDS Preferred Investors Certificate, the IDS Market Strategy Certificate,
the American Express Investors Certificate and the American Express Special
Deposits currently bear surrender charges for premature surrenders. All of the
above described certificates, except the American Express Special Deposits, are
distributed pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with American Express Financial
Advisors Inc. , an affiliate of IDSC. With respect to the American Express
Investors Certificate and the American Express 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 National
Westminster Bank PLC, for selling the certificates. With respect to the American
Express Special Deposits, IDSC has a Marketing Agreement with AEB, an indirect
subsidiary of American



Express, for marketing the certificate. IDSC has a Distribution Agreement with
American Express Service Corporation (AESC) under which AESC can distribute the
IDS Stock Market Certificate and potentially other certificates. As of December
31, 1999, no certificates have been distributed through AESC. With respect to
IDS Stock Market Certificate, American Express Financial Advisors Inc. has a
Selling Agent Agreement effective March 1999 with Securities America Inc., an
affiliate of IDSC. There is no assurance that IDS certificates will be
distributed by AESC or sold by Securities America Inc.

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, retirees, and eligible employees of the American
Express funds, and to IRAs of persons retired as employees or financial advisors
with American Express Financial Corporation. This certificate is called the
Series D-1 Investment Certificate.

Except for the American Express Investors Certificate and the American
Express 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 ten 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 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 second through ninth 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 52- week stock market performance, as measured by a broad stock
market index, with return of principal guaranteed by IDSC. The owner can also
choose to earn a fixed rate of interest. This certificate is sold to clients of
American Express Financial Advisors Inc., and is available through Securities
America Inc. under a Selling Agent Agreement effective March 1999 with American
Express Financial Advisors Inc., and may be available from time to time through
American Express Service Corporation under its Distribution Agreement with IDSC.
This certificate is marketed as the American Express Stock Market Certificate 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. IDSC is developing
a certificate that pays equity-indexed interest for 52-week terms for sale
through broker-dealers that are not affiliated with IDSC.



The IDS Market Strategy Certificate is a single payment certificate
that pays interest at a fixed rate or that offers the owner the opportunity to
have all or part of his/her interest tied to 52-week stock market performance as
measured by a broad stock market index, for a series of 52- week terms starting
every month or at intervals the owner selects.

The American Express 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 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, under 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 Preferred Investors Certificate is a single payment certificate
that combines a fixed rate of return with IDSC's guarantee of principal for
investments of $250,000 to $5,000,000. 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.

The American Express 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 (by the date of term renewal in the case of 1- month terms), at
the buyer's option. This certificate is currently marketed by AEB through its
London and Hong Kong offices, under 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 has filed registration statement amendments with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under which "IDS" in the names of certificates would
change to "American Express" on April 26, 2000.

To IDSC's knowledge, 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 the certificates, except for the American Express Investors
Certificate, IDS Preferred Investors Certificate, and the American Express
Special Deposits, IDSC's current policy is to re-evaluate the certificate rates
weekly to respond to marketplace changes. For the American Express Investors
Certificate, IDS Preferred Investors Certificate, and the American Express
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 American Express 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 Cash Reserve Certificate
and the IDS Series D-1 Investment Certificate, the published rates of the BANK
RATE MONITOR Top 25 Market Average(R) 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(R) (the BRM Average),
is used as a guide in setting rates. For the American Express Investors
Certificate, IDS Preferred Investors Certificate, and American Express 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.

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 American Express Investors Certificate, IDS Preferred
Investors Certificate and American Express Special Deposits also compete with
short-term products but use LIBOR rates. 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, American Express
Stock Market Certificate and IDS Market Strategy Certificate are 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 and Market Strategy 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.



IDSC may make forward-looking statements in documents such as this 10-K
Annual Report. In addition, from to time to time, IDSC through its management
may make oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject
to uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. IDSC
undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statements.

In regard to the equity-indexed certificate under development, there is
the possibility that the project will not come to fruition, that sufficient
third parties will not be interested in marketing it, that market
disintermediation could affect the effectiveness of related hedging
transactions, and that sales may not be large enough to have a material impact
on IDSC's business, results of operations or financial position.

The following table shows IDSC's certificate payments received and certificate
surrenders for the three years ended December 31, 1999:

In 1999, approximately 25% of single payment certificate payments were
through AEBI, AEB, and Coutts, and approximately 13% of single payment
certificate payments and 1% 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 sale of the American Express Investors
Certificate and the American Express Stock Market Certificate, American Express
Financial Advisors Inc., in turn, has Selling Agent Agreements with AEBI and
Coutts. For the sale of IDS Stock Market Certificate, American Express Financial
Advisors Inc. has a Selling Agent Agreement with Securities America Inc.
effective March 1999. For the distribution of the IDS Stock Market Certificate,
IDSC has a distribution agreement with American Express Service Corporation. For
marketing American Express Special Deposits, IDSC has a Marketing Agreement with
AEB. These agreements are terminable upon 60 days notice and subject to annual
review by directors who are not "interested persons" of American Express
Financial Advisors Inc. or IDSC except that such annual review is not required
for selling agent agreements.

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 review 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 cash and "qualified investments" meeting
the standards of Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act, as modified by an order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). 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. So long as IDSC wishes to rely on the
SEC order, as a condition to the order, IDSC has agreed to maintain an amount of
unappropriated retained earnings and capital equal to at least 5% of net
certificate reserves. For these purposes, net certificate reserves means
certificate reserves less outstanding certificate loans. In determining
compliance with this condition, qualified investments are valued in accordance
with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes where such provisions are applicable.
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 has also entered into a written informal understanding
with the State of Minnesota, Department of Commerce, that IDSC will maintain
capital equal to 5% of the assets of IDSC (less any loans on outstanding
certificates). When computing its capital for these purposes, IDSC values its
assets on the basis of statutory accounting for insurance companies rather than
generally accepted accounting principles. 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
and any related surrender charges are recognized in income. Thus, these
certificates must remain in effect for a period of time to permit IDSC to
recover such costs.

indirectly, of American Express. Frequency and amount of cash dividends declared
during the past two years are as follows:

Dividend Payable Date For the year ended December 31, 1999:

January 15, 1999 $13,000,000

November 17, 1998 25,000,000
------------
$29,500,000

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 2000 and 2001 by
IDSC's declaration of additional credits in excess of this requirement.

Appropriated retained earnings resulting from the predeclaration of
additional credits to IDSC's certificate owners 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, 1999, the capital and unappropriated retained earnings amounted to
5.83% 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 owner accounts, and also due to changes in the
mix of fully taxable and tax-advantaged investments in the IDSC portfolio.

During 1999, total assets decreased $73 million whereas certificate reserves
increased $132 million. The decreases in total assets and accounts payable and
accrued liabilities resulted primarily from net repayments under reverse
repurchase agreements of $116 million. The decrease in total assets reflects
also, a decrease in net unrealized appreciation on investment securities
classified as available for sale of $115 million. The increase in certificate
reserves resulted primarily from interest accruals of $203 million offset by
certificate maturities and surrenders exceeding certificate sales by $71
million.

During 1998, total assets and certificate reserves decreased $219 million and
$320 million, respectively. The decreases in total assets and certificate
reserves resulted primarily from certificate maturities and surrenders exceeding
certificate sales. The excess of certificate maturities and surrenders over
certificate sales resulted primarily from lower accrual rates declared by IDSC
during 1998. The decrease in total assets in 1998 reflects also, a decrease in
net unrealized appreciation on investment securities classified as available for
sale of $35 million.

1999 Compared to 1998:

Gross investment income decreased 6.9% due primarily to a lower average balance
of invested assets.

Investment expenses increased slightly in 1999. The slight increase resulted
primarily from the net of higher amortization of premiums paid for index options
of $10.1 million and lower interest expense on reverse repurchase and interest
rate swap agreements of $6.5 million, lower distribution fees of $2.3 million
and lower investment advisory and services and transfer agent fees of $.8
million.

Net provision for certificate reserves decreased 17.1% due primarily to lower
accrual rates during 1999.

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

1998 Compared to 1997:

Gross investment income increased 5.8% due primarily to a higher average balance
of invested assets, partially offset by slightly lower yields.



Investment expenses increased 9.5% in 1998. The increase resulted primarily from
higher amortization of premiums paid for index options of $6.4 million, higher
interest expense on reverse repurchase and interest rate swap agreements of $5.2
million, and $3.9 million of fees paid under a transfer agent agreement with
American Express Client Service Corporation effective Jan. 1, 1998. Prior to
Jan. 1, 1998, transfer agent services were provided by AEFC under the investment
advisory and services fee agreement. These higher expenses were partially offset
by lower investment advisory and services fees of $8.1 million and lower
distribution fees of $.7 million.

Net provision for certificate reserves increased 1.2% due primarily to the net
of a higher average balance of certificate reserves and lower accrual rates
during 1998.

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

Liquidity and cash flow:

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

Certificate sales remained strong in 1999 reflecting clients' ongoing desire for
safety of principal. Sales of certificates totaled $1.5 billion in 1999 compared
to $1.1 billion in 1998 and $1.5 billion in 1997. The higher certificate sales
in 1999 over 1998 resulted primarily from special promotions of the seven- and
13-month term IDS Flexible Savings Certificate which produced sales of $295
million. Certificate sales in 1999 benefited also, from higher sales of the IDS
Market Strategy Certificate and American Express Investors Certificate of $95
million and $118 million, respectively.

A special promotion of the seven-month term IDS Flexible Savings Certificate was
offered from March 10, 1999 to June 8, 1999, and applied only to sales of new
certificate accounts during the promotion period. Certificates sold during the
promotion period received a special interest rate, determined on a weekly basis,
of 100 basis points (1.00%) above the Bank Rate Monitor Top 25 Market AverageTM
of comparable length certificates of deposit. Certificate sales during the
promotion period totaled $168 million.

In August of 1999, IDSC introduced special seven- and 13-month term IDS Flexible
Savings Certificates that offer interest rates competitive with those of
certificates of deposit offered online by an affiliated company of IDSC. This
special offer applies to both new and existing certificate accounts and will end
April 26, 2000. Sales of the seven- and 13-month term IDS Flexible Savings
Certificate receive a special interest rate of 70 basis points (.70%) and 80
basis points (.80%), respectively, over the rate in effect at the time of sale
for the six- and 12-month term IDS Flexible Savings Certificate, respectively.
Certificate sales since introduction in August of 1999 totaled $127 million.

Certificate maturities and surrenders totaled $1.7 billion during both 1999 and
1998 compared to $1.3 billion in 1997. The higher certificate maturities and
surrenders in 1998 compared to 1997, resulted primarily from $242 million of
surrenders of the seven- and 13-month term IDS Flexible Savings Certificate
which were sold from Sept. 10, 1997 to Nov. 25, 1997. These surrenders resulted
primarily from lower accrual rates declared by IDSC at term renewal, reflecting
interest rates available in the marketplace.

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
intermediate-term bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

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
owner obligations.

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", 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 owner demand. See notes 1 and 3 to the financial
statements for additional information relating to SFAS No. 115.

At Dec. 31, 1999, securities classified as held to maturity and carried at
amortized cost were $.5 billion. Securities classified as available for sale and
carried at fair value were $2.6 billion. These securities, which comprise 84% of
IDSC's total invested assets, are well diversified. Of these securities,
approximately 97% have fixed maturities of which 89% are of investment grade.
Other than U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities, no one issuer
represents more than 1% of total securities. See note 3 to financial statements
for additional information on ratings and diversification.

During the year ended Dec. 31, 1999, securities classified as available for sale
were sold with an amortized cost and fair value of $102 million and $105
million, respectively. The securities were sold in general management of the
investment portfolio. There were no sales of held-to-maturity securities during
the year ended Dec. 31, 1999.

There were no transfers of available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities
during the years ended Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998.

Market risk and derivative financial instruments:

The sensitivity analysis of two different tests of market risk discussed below
estimate the effects of hypothetical sudden and sustained changes in the
applicable market conditions on the ensuing year's earnings based on year-end
positions. The market changes, assumed to occur as of year-end, are a 100 basis
point increase in market interest rates and a 10% decline in a major stock
market index. Computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest
rate and major stock market index changes are based on numerous assumptions,
including relative levels of market interest rates and the major stock market
index level, as well as the levels of assets and liabilities. The hypothetical
changes and assumptions will be different than what actually occurs in the
future. Furthermore, the computations do not anticipate actions that may be
taken by management if the hypothetical market changes actually occurred over
time. As a result, actual earnings effects in the future will differ from those
quantified below.

IDSC primarily invests in intermediate-term and long-term fixed income
securities to provide its certificate owners with a competitive rate of return
on their certificates while managing risk. These investment securities provide
IDSC with a historically dependable and targeted margin between the interest
rate earned on investments and the interest rate credited to certificate owners'
accounts. IDSC does not invest in securities to generate trading profits for its
own account.



IDSC's Investment Committee, which comprises senior business managers, meets
regularly to review models projecting different interest rate scenarios and
their impact on IDSC's profitability. The committee's objective is to structure
IDSC's portfolio of investment securities based upon the type and behavior of
the certificates in the certificate reserve liabilities, to achieve targeted
levels of profitability and meet certificate contractual obligations.

Rates credited to certificate owners' accounts are generally reset at shorter
intervals than the maturity of underlying investments. Therefore, IDSC's margins
may be negatively impacted by increases in the general level of interest rates.
Part of the committee's strategies include the purchase of derivatives, such as
interest rate caps, corridors, floors and swaps, for hedging purposes. On two
series of certificates, interest is credited to the certificate owners' accounts
based upon the relative change in a major stock market index between the
beginning and end of the certificates' terms. As a means of hedging its
obligations under the provisions of these certificates, the committee purchases
and writes call options on the major stock market index. See note 9 to the
financial statements for additional information regarding derivative financial
instruments.

The negative impact on IDSC's pretax earnings of the 100 basis point increase in
interest rates, which assumes repricings and customer behavior based on the
application of proprietary models to the book of business at Dec. 31, 1999 and
1998, would be approximately $8.2 million and $7.5 million for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The 10% decrease in a major stock market index level would have a
minimal impact on IDSC's pretax earnings as of Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, because
the income effect is a decrease in option income and a corresponding decrease in
interest credited to the IDS and American Express Stock Market Certificate
owners' accounts.

Year 2000:

IDSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Financial Corporation
(AEFC), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Company (American
Express). All of the major systems used by IDSC are maintained by AEFC and are
utilized by multiple subsidiaries and affiliates of AEFC. American Express
coordinated the Year 2000 (Y2K) efforts on behalf of all of its businesses and
subsidiaries. Representatives of AEFC participated in these efforts.

IDSC, to date, has not experienced any material systems failures related to the
Y2K rollover. American Express' and AEFC's remediation plan for the Y2K issue is
discussed in detail in IDSC's 1998 10-K report and 1999 10-Q reports. American
Express and AEFC will continue their Y2K monitoring and address any issues that
may arise from internal systems or those of third parties. American Express' and
AEFC's cumulative costs since inception of the Y2K initiative were $505 million
and $68 million, respectively, through Dec. 31, 1999, and are expected to be
approximately $10 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in 2000. The majority
of these costs are managed by and included in American Express' Corporate and
Other segment, as most remediation efforts are related to systems that are
maintained by the American Express Technologies organization. Costs related to
Y2K have not had a material adverse effect on IDSC's results of operations or
financial condition.

Ratios:

The ratio of stockholder's equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive
(loss) income net of tax, to total assets less certificate loans and net
unrealized holding gains/losses on investment securities (capital to asset
ratio) at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998 was 5.5% and 5.6%, respectively. Under an
informal agreement established with the Commissioner of Commerce for the State
of Minnesota, IDSC has agreed to maintain at all times a minimum capital to
asset ratio of 5.0%.

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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States which are 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.






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, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of operations,
comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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, 1999 and 1998, 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, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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.

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.

On Jan. 28, 2000 the IDSC Board of Directors approved the name change of IDS
Certificate Company to American Express Certificate Company to become effective
April 26, 2000.

IDSC currently offers nine types of certificates with specified maturities
ranging from 10 to 20 years. Within their specified maturity, most certificates
have interest rate terms of one- to 36-months. In addition, two types of
certificates have 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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 non-investment company subsidiaries of 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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.

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.



Notes to Financial Statements ($ in thousands unless indicated otherwise)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. Dividend income from perpetual preferred
stock is recognized on an ex-dividend basis.

Investment 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 accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in 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. The estimated fair value
of the mortgage loans is determined by a discounted cash flow analysis using
mortgage interest rates currently offered for mortgages of similar maturities.

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 mortgage loan losses.

The reserve for mortgage loan losses is maintained at a level that management
believes is adequate to absorb estimated losses in the 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
mortgage loan losses.

IDSC generally stops accruing interest on mortgage loans for which interest
payments are delinquent more than three months. 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certificates

Investment certificates may be purchased either with a lump-sum payment or by
installment payments. Certificate owners are entitled to receive at maturity a
definite sum of money. Payments from certificate owners are credited to
investment certificate reserves. Investment certificate reserves accumulate at
specified percentage rates as declared by IDSC. Reserves also are maintained for
advance payments made by certificate owners, accrued interest thereon, and for
additional credits in excess of minimum guaranteed rates 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 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 prior to maturity, unamortized deferred distribution fees
are recognized in expense and any related surrender charges are recognized as a
reduction in provision for certificate reserves.

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 it
subsidiaries that Parent will reimburse a subsidiary for any tax benefits
recorded.

Accounting developments

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This SOP, which was effective Jan. 1,
1999, requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred to develop or obtain
software for internal use. Software utilized by IDSC is owned by Parent and is
capitalized on Parent's financial statements. As a result, the new rule did not
have a material impact on IDSC's results of operations or financial condition.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is
effective Jan. 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in
the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and
the resulting designation. The ultimate financial impact of adoption of the new
rule will depend on the derivatives in place at adoption and cannot be estimated
at this time.

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 $3,476,365 and $3,353,920 at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. IDSC had qualified assets of $3,805,634 at Dec. 31, 1999 and
$3,799,689 at Dec. 31, 1998, excluding net unrealized depreciation on available-
for-sale securities of $101,141 at Dec. 31, 1999 and unrealized appreciation of
$14,378 at Dec. 31, 1998 and payable for securities purchased of $1,734 and
$2,211 at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

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
depository agreement and to requirements of various states, qualified assets of
IDSC were deposited as follows:

The assets on deposit at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998 consisted of securities having a
deposit value of $3,217,101 and $3,153,038, respectively; mortgage loans of
$378,047 and $334,280, respectively; and other assets of $88,063 and $57,010,
respectively.

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

3. Investments in securities

A) Fair values of investments in securities represent market prices or estimated
fair values when quoted prices are not available. Estimated fair values are
determined by 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, 1999 and 1998:

Amortized cost $- $6,182 $32,969
Gross realized gains - 63 1,621
Gross realized losses - - 680
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


During the years ended Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, no securities were reclassified
from held to maturity to available for sale.

B) Investments in securities with fixed maturities comprised 84% and 85% of
IDSC's total invested assets at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 1999 1998
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaa/AAA 36% 37%
Aa/AA 2 1
Aa/A 2 1

Of the securities rated Aaa/AAA, 72% and 84% at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, are U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities that are not
rated by a public rating

agency. Approximately 13% and 11% at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of
securities with fixed maturities, other than U.S. Government Agency
mortgage-backed securities, are rated by Parent's internal analysts. At Dec. 31,
1999 and 1998 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 note 3A.

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 incurred by the issuer of the restricted securities.

4. Investments in first mortgage loans on real estate

At Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, IDSC's recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans
was $233 and $296, respectively, and the reserve for loss on those amounts was
$161 and $261, respectively. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the average recorded
investment in impaired mortgage loans was $267, $331 and $743, respectively.

IDSC recognized $25, $31 and $37 of interest income related to impaired mortgage
loans for the years ended Dec. 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

During the year ended Dec. 31, 1999, the reserve for loss on mortgage loans
decreased $100 from $611 at Dec. 31, 1998, to $511 at Dec. 31, 1999. During the
years ended Dec. 31, 1998 and 1997, there were no changes in the reserve for
loss on mortgage loans of $611.



Notes to Financial Statements ($ in thousands unless indicated otherwise)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, approximately 10% and 9%, respectively, of IDSC's
invested assets were first mortgage loans on real estate. A summary of first
mortgage loans by region and type of real estate is as follows:

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 maturities.

At Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998, commitments for fundings of first mortgage loans, at
market interest rates, aggregated $800 and $60,828, respectively. IDSC employs
policies and procedures to ensure the creditworthiness of the borrowers and that
funds will be available on the funding date. IDSC's loan fundings are restricted
to 80% or less of the market value of the real estate at the time of the loan
funding. Management believes there is no fair value for these commitments.

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, 1999 and 1998
were:

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, 1999, $2,879 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 3.20%. IDSC has increased the rate of accrual
to 4.50% through April 30, 2001. An appropriation of retained earnings amounting
to $10 has been made, which represents the estimated additional accrual that
will result from the increase granted by IDSC.

D) IDS Stock Market Certificate, American Express Stock Market Certificate and
IDS Market Strategy Certificate enable the certificate owner to participate in
any relative rise in a major stock market index without risking loss of
principal. Generally the certificates have a term of 12 months and may continue
for up to 20 successive terms. The reserve balance on these certificates at Dec.
31, 1999 and 1998 was $886,240 and $622,409, respectively.

E) Fair values of certificate reserves with interest rate terms of one year or
less approximated the carrying values less any applicable surrender charges.
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.

The carrying amounts and fair values of certificate reserves consisted of the
following at Dec. 31, 1999 and 1998:

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 2000 and 2001 by
IDSC's declaration of 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, joint facilities, technology support and treasury services is:

The investment advisory and services agreement with Parent provides for a
graduated scale of fees equal on an annual basis to 0.750% on the first $250
million of total book value of assets of IDSC, 0.650% on the next $250 million,
0.550% on the next $250 million, 0.500% on the next $250 million and 0.107% on
the amount in excess of $1 billion. Effective Jan. 1, 1998, the fee on the
amount in excess of $1 billion was changed from 0.450% to 0.107%. 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 an outside
service fee.

B) The basis of computing fees paid or payable to American Express Financial
Advisors Inc. (an affiliate) for distribution services is:

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.

From time to time, IDSC may sponsor or participate in sales promotions involving
one or more of the certificates and their respective terms. These promotions may
offer a special interest rate to attract new clients or retain existing clients.
To cover the cost of these promotions, distribution fees paid to American
Express Financial Advisors Inc. may be lowered. For the promotions of the seven-
and 13-month term IDS Flexible Savings Certificate which occurred Sept. 10, 1997
to Nov. 25, 1997, the seven-month term IDS Flexible Savings Certificate which
occurred March 10, 1999 to June 8, 1999, and the on-going promotion of the
seven- and 13-month term IDS Flexible Savings Certificate which commenced August
4, 1999, the distribution fee was lowered to 0.067%.

The aggregate fees payable under the agreements per $1,000 face amount of
installment certificates and a summary of the periods over which the fees are
payable are:




Number of
certificate
years over
Aggregate fees payable which
------------------------------------------- subsequent
First Subsequent years' fees

On sales prior to April 30, 1997(a) 30.00 6.00 24.00 4
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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



Notes to Financial Statements ($ in thousands unless indicated otherwise)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective April 30, 1997, fees on the IDS Cash Reserve and IDS Flexible Savings
Certificates are paid at a rate of 0.20% of the purchase price at the time of

and 0.165% of the certificate's reserve at the beginning of the second and
subsequent quarters from issue date. For certificates sold prior to Jan 1, 1997,
fees were paid at an annualized rate of 0.66% of the reserves maintained for the
certificates. Fees were paid at the end of each term on certificates with a
one-, two- or three-month term and each quarter from date of issuance on
certificates with a six-, 12-, 24- or 36-month term.

Effective April 28, 1999, fees on the IDS Stock Market and IDS Market Strategy
Certificates are paid at a rate of 0.90% and fees on the American Express Stock
Market Certificates are paid at a rate of 1.00%. For certificates sold from
April 30, 1997 to April 27, 1999, fees were paid at the rate of 0.70%. For
certificates sold prior to April 30, 1997, fees were paid at a rate of 1.25%.
Fees are paid on the purchase price on the first day of the certificate's term
and on the reserves maintained for these certificates at the beginning of each

E) The basis of computing transfer agent fees paid or payable to American
Express Client Service Corporation (AECSC) (an affiliate) is:

Under a Transfer Agency Agreement effective Jan. 1, 1998, AECSC maintains
certificate owner accounts and records. IDSC pays AECSC a monthly fee of
one-twelfth of $10.353 per certificate owner account for this service. Prior to
Jan. 1, 1998, AEFC provided this service to IDSC under the investment advisory
and services agreement.

8. Income taxes

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

1999 1998 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal
Current ($5,978) ($5,668) $1,138

State (137) (50) (65)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total income tax (expense) benefit ($5,052) ($1,535) $3,339
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:

1999 1998 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal tax expense at U.S. statutory rate ($13,932) ($12,026) ($8,378)

Other, net 23 26 14
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal tax (expense) benefit ($4,915) ($1,485) $3,404
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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



Notes to Financial Statements ($ in thousands unless indicated otherwise)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

purposes in future years. Principal components of IDSC's deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of Dec. 31, are as follows.

Deferred tax assets 1999 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certificate reserves $21,741 $19,423
Investment reserves 1,005 502
Investment unrealized losses 35,399 -
Other, net 19 18
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total deferred tax assets $58,164 $19,943

Deferred distribution fees $4,286 $5,523
Investment unrealized gains - 5,032
Purchased/written call options 10,494 7,417
Dividends receivable 490 553
Investments 261 280
Return of capital dividends 43 43

Total deferred tax liabilities 15,574 18,848
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net deferred tax assets $42,590 $1,095
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

IDSC is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the
deferred tax assets that management believes will not be realized. In the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that IDSC will realize the
benefit of the deferred tax assets and, therefore, no such valuation allowance
has been established.

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 and equity price 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 risk is the possibility that the counterparty will not fulfill the terms
of the contract. IDSC monitors credit risk related to derivative financial
instruments through established approval procedures, including setting
concentration limits by counterparty, reviewing credit ratings and requiring
collateral where appropriate. At Dec. 31, 1999, IDSC's counterparties to the
purchased call options are five major broker/dealers that are rated AA by
nationally recognized rating agencies.



Notes to Financial Statements ($ in thousands unless indicated otherwise)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 or credit risk
and are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Credit risk 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,
1999 and 1998.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest rate caps, corridors, floors and swaps, and options may be used to
manage IDSC's exposure to changing interest rates. These instruments are used
primarily to protect the margin between the interest earned on investments and
the interest rate credited to related investment certificate owners.

The interest rate floors were reset monthly and IDSC earned interest on the
notional amount to the extent the U.S. Treasury securities at "constant
maturity" for a period of one year was below the reference rates specified in
the floor agreements. These reference rates ranged from 4.6% to 4.7% during the
period they were held. The cost of interest rate floors is 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 or other investment income, as appropriate.

The interest rate caps and corridors were reset quarterly and IDSC earned
interest on the notional amount to the extent the London Interbank Offering Rate
exceeded the reference rates specified in the cap and corridor agreements. These
reference rates ranged from 4% to 9% during the period they were held. The cost
of interest rate caps and corridors is 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
or other investment income, as appropriate.

The interest rate swaps were reset monthly. IDSC paid a fixed rate on the
notional amount ranging from 5.46% to 5.66% and received a floating rate on the
notional amount tied to the U.S. Treasury securities at "constant maturity" for
a period of one year. There is no cost carried on the balance sheet. Interest
earned and interest expensed under the agreements is shown net in investment
expenses or other investment income, as appropriate.

IDSC offers a series of certificates which pays interest based upon the relative
change in a major stock market index between the beginning and end of the
certificates' term. The certificate owners 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.

Each purchased (written) call option contract confers upon the holder the right
(obligation) to receive (pay) an amount equal to one hundred dollars times the
difference between the level of the major stock market index on the date the
call option is exercised and the strike price of the option.

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 expense 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. Changes in the
intrinsic value of these options are recognized currently in provision for
certificate reserves.

10. Fair values of financial instruments

IDSC discloses fair value information for most on- and off-balance sheet
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The
fair value of the financial instruments presented may not be indicative of their
future fair values. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments
such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables for dividends and interest,
investment securities sold and other trade receivables, accounts payable due to
Parent and affiliates, payable for investment securities purchased and other
accounts payable and accrued expenses are approximated to be the carrying
amounts disclosed in the balance sheets. 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:

NOTES:

(a) The classification "residential" includes single dwellings only. Residential
multiple dwellings are included in "apartment and business".

(b) Real estate taxes and easements, which in the opinion of the Company 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 discounts and
reserve 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 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 amortization of discounts and premiums) on mortgage loans
held at December 31, 1999 are shown by type and class of loan.

The average gross interest rates on mortgage loans held at December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 are summarized as follows:
