MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The management of Idaho Power Company is responsible for the
preparation and presentation of the information and
representations contained in the accompanying financial
statements. The financial statements have been prepared in
conformance with generally accepted accounting principles for a
rate regulated enterprise. Where estimates are required to be
made in preparing the financial statements, management has
applied its best judgment as to the adequacy of the estimates
based upon all available information.
The Company maintains systems of internal accounting controls and
related policies and procedures. The systems are designed to
provide reasonable assurance that all assets are protected
against loss or unauthorized use. Also, the systems provide that
transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization and properly recorded to permit preparation of
reliable financial statements. The systems are supported by a
staff of corporate accountants and internal auditors who, among
other duties, evaluate and monitor the systems of internal
accounting control in coordination with the independent auditors.
The staff of internal auditors conduct special and operational
audits in support of these accounting controls throughout the
year.
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee comprised
entirely of outside directors, meets periodically with
management, internal auditors and the Company's independent
auditors to discuss auditing, internal control and financial
reporting matters. To ensure their independence, both the
internal auditors and independent auditors have full and free
access to the Audit Committee.
The financial statements have been audited by Deloitte & Touche
LLP, the Company's independent auditors, who were responsible for
conducting their audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Idaho Energy Resources Co (IERCo), Ida-West Energy Company (Ida-West),
IDACORP, Inc., Idaho Utility Products Company (IUPCo), and Stellar
Dynamics. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.
SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTS - The Company is an electric utility and its
accounting records conform to the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed
by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and adopted by the
public utility commissions of Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and Wyoming.
ELECTRIC PLANT - The cost of additions to electric plant in service
represents the original cost of contracted services, direct labor and
material, allowance for funds used during construction and indirect
charges for engineering, supervision and similar overhead items.
Maintenance and repairs of property and replacements and renewals of
items determined to be less than units of property are charged to
operations. For property replaced or renewed the original cost plus
removal cost less salvage is charged to accumulated provision for
depreciation while the cost of related replacements and renewals is
added to electric plant.
ALLOWANCE FOR FUNDS USED DURING CONSTRUCTION (AFDC) - The allowance, a
non-cash item, represents the composite interest costs of debt, shown
as a reduction to interest charges, and a return on equity funds, shown
as an addition to other income, used to finance construction. While
cash is not realized currently from such allowance, it is realized
under the ratemaking process over the service life of the related
property through increased revenues resulting from higher rate base and
higher depreciation expense. Based on the uniform formula adopted by
the FERC, the Company's weighted average monthly AFDC rates for 1995,
1994 and 1993 were 6.1 percent, 8.2 percent and 9.6 percent,
respectively.
REVENUES - In order to match revenues with associated expenses, the
Company accrues unbilled revenues for electric services delivered to
customers but not yet billed at month-end.
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT- The Company has in place, in its Idaho
jurisdiction, a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) mechanism which allows
Idaho's retail customer rates to be adjusted annually to reflect the
Idaho share of forecasted net power supply costs. Deviations from
forecasted costs are deferred with interest and then adjusted (trued-
up) in the subsequent year.
DEPRECIATION - All electric plant is depreciated using the straight-
line method. Annual depreciation provisions as a percent of average
depreciable electric plant in service approximated 2.90 percent in
1995, 2.93 percent in 1994 and 2.92 percent in 1993 and are considered
adequate to amortize the original cost over the estimated service lives
of the properties.
INCOME TAXES - The Company follows the liability method of computing
deferred taxes on all temporary differences between book and tax basis
of assets and liabilities and adjust deferred tax liabilities and
assets for enacted changes in tax laws or rates. Consistent with orders
and directives of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC), the
regulatory authority having principal jurisdiction, deferred income
taxes (commonly referred to as normalized accounting) are provided for
the difference between income tax depreciation and straight-line
depreciation on coal-fired generation facilities and properties
acquired after 1980. On other facilities, deferred income taxes are
provided for the difference between accelerated income tax depreciation
and straight-line depreciation using tax guideline lives on assets
acquired prior to 1981. Deferred income taxes are not provided for
those income tax timing differences where the prescribed regulatory
accounting methods do not provide for current recovery in rates.
Regulated enterprises are required to recognize such adjustments as
regulatory assets or liabilities if it is probable that such amounts
will be recovered from or returned to customers in future rates (see
Note 2).
The state of Idaho allows a three percent investment tax credit (ITC)
upon certain plant additions. ITC earned on regulated assets are
deferred and amortized to income over the estimated service lives of
the related properties and credits earned on non-regulated assets or
investments are recognized in the year earned.
In 1995, the Company received an accounting order from the IPUC
approving acceleration of amortization of up to $30.0 million of
regulatory liabilities associated with deferred ITC to non-operating
income subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Idaho State
Tax Commission (STC) approvals. The IRS application for approval has
been filed and the STC has approved the application. Acceleration of
ITC amortization is to be utilized until the actual return on year-end
common equity is 11.5 percent. No accelerated ITC was recognized in
1995.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid temporary
investments with original maturity dates of three months or less.
REGULATION OF UTILITY OPERATIONS - The Company follows Statement of
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of
Certain Types of Regulation", and its financial statements reflect the
effects of the different ratemaking principles followed by the various
jurisdictions regulating the Company. Pursuant to SFAS No. 71 the
Company capitalizes, as deferred regulatory assets, incurred costs
which are expected to be recovered in future utility rates. The Company
also records as deferred regulatory liabilities the current recovery in
utility rates of costs which are expected to be paid in the future.
The following is a breakdown of regulatory assets and liabilities for
the years 1995, 1994 and 1993:
1995 1994 1993
Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities
(Millions of Dollars)
Income taxes $206.2 $ 34.6 $185.0 $ 35.1 $176.5 $ 35.0
Conservation 36.3 29.7 21.2
Employee benefits 8.3 9.5 7.4
Other 23.7 0.7 28.5 0.6 6.4 4.2
Accumulated
deferred investment
tax credits 70.5 71.6 72.0
Total $274.5 $105.8 $252.7 $107.3 $211.5 $111.2
The regulatory environment is becoming more complex resulting from the
expanding effects of competition. In the event that recovery of cost
through rates becomes unlikely or uncertain, this may force the Company
away from the cost of service ratemaking and SFAS No. 71 would no
longer apply. If the Company were to discontinue application of SFAS
No. 71 for some or all of its operations then these items may represent
stranded investments. Certain regulators are currently reviewing ways
to allow the electric utilities to recover these investments in the
event the customers are allowed to choose their energy supplier.
However, if the Company is not allowed recovery of these investments it
would be required to write off the applicable portion of regulatory
assets and the financial effects could be significant. At December 31,
1995, the Company had $17.6 million of regulatory assets that were not
earning a return on investment excluding the $206.2 million that
relates to income taxes.
OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Debt discount, expense and premium are
being amortized over the terms of the respective debt issues.
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain items previously reported for years prior
to 1995 have been reclassified to conform with the current year's
presentation. Net income was not affected by these reclassifications.

Balance at December 31, 1995 37,612,351 $94,031 $363,044
During the period of January 1993 through May 1994, the Company issued
original issue shares of common stock for its Dividend Reinvestment and
Stock Purchase Plan and the Employee Savings Plan. During 1993 and 1994
common shares totaling 898,528 and 527,296 respectively, were issued to
these plans.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 2,791,321 of its authorized
but unissued shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under
its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and Employee Savings
Plan.
On January 11, 1990, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareowner Rights
Plan (Plan). Under the Plan, the Company declared a distribution of one
Preferred Stock Right (Right) for each of the Company's outstanding
Common shares held on January 29, 1990 or issued thereafter. The Rights
are currently not exercisable and will be exercisable only if a person
or group (Acquiring Person) either acquires ownership of 20 percent or
more of the Company's Voting Stock or commences a tender offer that
would result in ownership of 20 percent or more. The Company may redeem
the Rights at a price of $0.01 per Right anytime prior to acquisition
by an Acquiring Person of a 20 percent position.
Following the acquisition of a 20 percent position, each Right will
entitle its holder, subject to regulatory approval, to purchase for $85
that number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock having a
market value of $170.
If after the Rights become exercisable, the Company is acquired in a
merger or other business combination, 50 percent or more of its
consolidated assets or earnings power are sold or the Acquiring Person
engages in certain acts of self-dealing, each Right entitles the holder
to purchase for $85, shares of the acquiring company's Common Stock
having a market value of $170. Any Rights that are or were held by an
Acquiring Person become void if either of these events occurs. The
Rights expire on January 11, 2000.
4. PREFERRED STOCK:
The number of shares of preferred stock outstanding at December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

(c) Dividend rate at December 31, 1995 was 4.49% and ranged between
4.36% and 4.71% during the year.
During 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Company reacquired and retired 2,743;
2,950 and 1,229 shares of 4% preferred stock resulting in a net
addition to premium on capital stock of $117,346, $126,066 and $50,151
respectively. As of December 31, 1995 the overall effective cost of all
outstanding preferred stock was 6.28 percent.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT:
The amount of first mortgage bonds issuable by the Company is limited
to a maximum of $900,000,000 and by property, earnings and other
provisions of the mortgage and supplemental indentures thereto.
Substantially all of the electric utility plant is subject to the lien
of the indenture. Pollution Control Revenue Bonds, Series 1984, due
December 1, 2014, are secured by First Mortgage Bonds, Pollution
Control Series A, which were issued by the Company and are held by a
Trustee for the benefit of the bondholders.
First mortgage bonds maturing during the five-year period ending 2000
are $20,000,000 in 1996, $30,000,000 in 1998 and $80,000,000 in 2000.
Sinking fund requirements for the first mortgage bonds outstanding at
December 31, 1995 are $5,398,000 per year. These requirements may be
met by the deposit of cash, deposit of bonds, or by certification of
property additions at the rate of 167% of requirements. The Company's
practice is to certify additional property to meet the sinking fund
requirements. In September 1993, 1994, and 1995 $400,000, $400,000 and
$450,000 respectively, of the 5.90% Series, Pollution Control Revenue
Bonds, were retired pursuant to sinking fund requirements for those
years. Sinking fund requirements during the five-year period ending
2000 for pollution control bonds outstanding at December 31, 1995 are
$450,000 in 1996 and $500,000 in 1997 through 2000. At December 31,
1993, 1994 and 1995, the overall effective cost of all outstanding
first mortgage bonds and pollution control revenue bonds for all three
years was 8.02 percent.
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments have
been determined by the Company using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect
on the estimated fair value amounts.
Cash and cash equivalents, customer and other receivables, notes
payable, accounts payable, interest accrued, and taxes accrued are
reported at their carrying value as these are a reasonable estimate of
their fair value. The total estimated fair value of long-term debt was
approximately $762,575,000 for 1993, $682,647,000 for 1994 and
$731,168,000 for 1995. The estimated fair values for long-term debt are
based upon quoted market prices of the same or similar issues.
7. NOTES PAYABLE:
At January 1, 1996, the Company had regulatory authority to incur up to
$150,000,000 of short-term indebtedness. Under this authority, total
lines of credit maintained with various banks amounted to $85,000,000.
Under annual borrowing arrangements with these banks, the Company is
required to pay a fee of 8/100 of 1 percent on the available and
committed lines of credit. Commercial paper may be issued in an amount
not to exceed 25 percent of revenues for the latest twelve-month period
subject to the $150,000,000 maximum described above and are supported
by bank lines of credit of an equal amount.
Balances and interest rates of short-term borrowings were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
1995 1994 1993
(Thousands of Dollars)
Balance at end of year $53,020 $55,000 $4,000
Effective annual interest rate
at end of year 6.0% 6.1% 6.9%
(a) Effective rate has been inflated by the commitment fees being
larger than the interest paid for the year.
If the commitment fees were excluded the effective annual interest
rate at end of the year would have been 3.6%.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
Commitments under contracts and purchase orders relating to the
Company's program for construction and operation of facilities amounted
to approximately $2,600,000 at December 31, 1995. The commitments are
generally revocable by the Company subject to reimbursement of
manufacturers' expenditures incurred and/or other termination charges.
The Company is currently purchasing energy from 65 on-line cogeneration
and small power production facilities with contracts ranging from 1 to
32 years. Under these contracts the Company could be required to
purchase up to 782,000 (MWH) annually. During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995, the Company purchased 654,000 (MWH) at a cost of
$38.0 million.
The Company is party to various legal claims, actions, and complaints,
certain of which involve material amounts. Although the Company is
unable to predict with certainty whether or not it will ultimately be
successful in these legal proceedings, or, if not, what the impact
might be, based upon the advice of legal counsel, management presently
believes that disposition of these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operation or cash flow.
9. BENEFIT PLANS:
Incentive Plan - The Company implemented two annual incentive plans
effective January 1, 1995. The Executive Annual Incentive Plan and the
Employee Incentive Plan tie a portion of each employee's compensation
to achieving annual operational and financial goals. The plans share
common goals designed to promote safety, control capital expenditures,
control operation and maintenance expenses and increase annual earnings
per share. At December 31, 1995 the Company had recorded $2,898,785 of
incentive for the Plans.
Restricted Stock Plan - The 1994 Restricted Stock Plan ("Plan")
approved by shareholders at the May 1994 Annual Meeting was implemented
January 1, 1995 as an equity-based long-term incentive plan. The
performance-based grant approach and administrative guidelines for the
Plan were developed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors ("Committee") during 1994. At December 31, 1995, there were
370,000 shares reserved for the Plan. The first grant under the Plan
was made to all officers during January 1995. For the first grant, the
Committee has selected a three-year restricted period beginning January
1, 1995, through December 31, 1997, with a single financial performance
goal of Cumulative Earnings Per Share ("CEPS"). Final award amounts
will depend on the attainment by the Company of the CEPS performance
goal established by the Committee and may be prorated in the event of
death, disability or retirement of an officer based on the number of
whole months of service the officer completes during the Restricted
Period. Upon the officer's termination of employment during the
Restricted Period for any other reason, all such shares will be
forfeited by the officer to the Trustee.
During 1995, the Company purchased and granted 9,480 shares of the
Company's common stock for this Plan. Of this amount 360 shares were
forfeited in 1995. Restricted stock awards are compensatory awards and
the Company accrued compensation expense of $91,200 for 1995 (which was
charged to operations) based upon the market value of the earned
shares.
Pension Plan - The Company maintains a trusteed noncontributory defined
benefit pension plan for all employees who work 1,000 hours or more
during a calendar year. The benefits under the plan are based on years
of service and the employee's final average earnings. The Company's
policy is to fund with an independent corporate trustee at least the
minimum required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 but not more than the maximum amount deductible for income tax
purposes. The Company funded $5.9 million in 1995, $5.5 million in 1994
and $5.0 million in 1993. The plan's assets held by the trustee consist
primarily of listed stocks (both U.S. and foreign), fixed income
securities and investment grade real estate.
Deferred Compensation Plan - The Company has a nonqualified, deferred
compensation plan for certain senior management employees and directors
that provides for supplemental retirement and death benefit payments to
the participant and his or her family. The plan is being financed by
life insurance policies, of which the Company is the beneficiary, with
premiums being paid by the Company. These policies have accumulated
cash values of $53.0, $47.1 and $42.4 million at December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively, which do not qualify as plan assets in the
actuarial computation of the funded status. Based upon SFAS No. 87, the
Company has recorded a net liability of $21.5 million as of December
31, 1995.
The following tables set forth the amounts recognized in the Company's
financial statements and the funded status of both plans in accordance
with accounting standard SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions."

Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) - The Company has a
nonqualified SERP that provides benefits in excess of Internal
Revenue Service limits (Section 401 (a) (17) of the Internal
Revenue Code) for highly paid individuals. The projected benefit
obligation of this plan was $1,581,000, $857,000 and $525,000 at
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, with accrued
pension costs of $682,000, $396,000 and $226,000. The Company's
net periodic pension cost of this plan was $184,000, $125,000 and
$36,000 for the same periods.
Savings Plan - The Company has an Employee Savings Plan whereby,
for each $1 of employee contribution up to 6 percent of their
base salary the Company will match 100 percent of the first 2
percent employee contribution and 50 percent of the next 4
percent employee contribution, all such amounts to be invested by
a trustee to any or all of seven investment options. The
Company's contribution amounted to $2,426,840 in 1995, $2,410,200
in 1994 and $2,283,200 in 1993.
Postretirement Benefits - The Company maintains a defined benefit
postretirement plan (consisting of health care and life
insurance) that covers all employees who were enrolled in the
active group plan at the time of retirement, their spouses and
qualifying dependents. The plan provides for payment of hospital
services, physician services, prescription drugs, dental services
and various other health services, some of which have annual or
lifetime limits, after subtracting payments by Medicare or other
providers and after a stated deductible and co-payments have been
met. Participants become eligible for the benefits if they retire
from the Company after reaching age 55 with 15 years of service
or after 30 years of service. The plan is contributory with
retiree contributions adjusted annually. For those retirees that
were age 65 or older at December 31, 1992 the plan is
noncontributory. The Company also provides life insurance of one
times salary for pre-65 retirees and $20,000 for post-65 retirees
with the retirees paying a portion of the cost.
The following tables set forth the amounts to be recognized in
the Company's financial statements for year-end 1995, 1994 and
1993 and the funded status of the plan in accordance with

A one percent change in the medical inflation rate would change
the APBO by 7.2 percent and the postretirement expense for 1995
by 8.6 percent.
The Company has a retiree medical benefits funding program which
consists of life insurance policies on active employees of which
the Company is the beneficiary, and a qualified Voluntary
Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) Trust. The net charge to
other income for the life insurance policies was $1,754,300 in
1995, $776,400 in 1994 and $632,500 in 1993. The funding to the
VEBA was $916,200 in 1995, $743,600 in 1994 and $2,692,000 in
1993 and recorded as a prepayment. The VEBA trust represents plan
assets which are invested in variable life insurance policies,
Trust Owned Life Insurance (TOLI), on active employees. Inside
buildup in the TOLI policies is tax deferred and tax free if the
policy proceeds are paid to the Trust as death benefits. The
investment return assumption reflects an expectation that
investment income in the VEBA will be substantially tax free.
Postemployment Benefits - The Company provides certain benefits

dependents after employment but before retirement. The Company
accrues for such postemployment benefits. These benefits include

asset of $3.4 million which represents the costs associated with
postemployment benefits at December 31, 1995. The Company

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareowners of Idaho Power Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of Idaho Power Company and its subsidiaries listed in the
accompanying index to financial statements and financial
statement schedules at Item 8. These financial statements
and financial statement schedules are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the financial statements and financial
statement 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 are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Idaho Power Company and subsidiaries at December 31,
1995, 1994, and 1993, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.
