1.  Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies

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") amd is in the business of issuing face-amount
investment certificates.  The certificates issued by IDSC are not
insured by any government agency.  IDSC's certificates are sold 
primarily by American Express Financial Advisors Inc.'s (an
affiliate) field force operating in 50 states, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico.  IDSC's Parent acts as investment advisor
for IDSC.

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

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

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

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.  IDSC uses the
equity method of accounting for its wholly owned unconsolidated
subsidiary, which is the method prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) for issuers of face-amount certificates.

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

<PAGE>
PAGE 10
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Stock Dividend Income

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

Securities

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

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

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

First Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

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

Certificates

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Deferred Distribution Fee Expense

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

Federal Income Taxes

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

2.  Deposit of Assets and Maintenance of Qualified Assets

A)  Under the provisions of its certificates and the 1940 Act, IDSC
was required to have qualified assets (as that term is defined in
Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act) in the amount of $3,149,496 at
June 30, 1996.  IDSC had qualified assets of $3,358,171 at June 30,
1996, excluding net unrealized depreciation on available-for-sale
securities of $1,610 and payable for securities purchased of
$13,970.

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.

3.  Investments in Securities

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

At June 30, 1996, there were no securities classified as trading
securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, debt securities
classified as available for sale were sold with proceeds of
$309,639 and gross realized gains on such sales of $330 and gross
realized losses on such sales of $5,624.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, a held-to-maturity
security was sold with an amortized cost of $314.  A loss of $14
was realized on the sale.  The security was sold due to significant
credit deterioration.

There were no transfers from securities classified as held to
maturity during the six months ended June 30, 1996.<PAGE>

B)  At June 30, 1996, investments in securities with fixed
maturities comprised 87%  of IDSC's total invested assets. 
Securities are rated by Moody's and Standard & Poor's (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
  ---------------------------------
  Aaa/AAA......................  39%
  Aa/AA........................   2
  Aa/A.........................   2
  A/A..........................  21
  A/BBB........................   7
  Baa/BBB......................  24
  Below investment grade.......   5
  ---------------------------------
                                100%
  ---------------------------------

Of the securities rated Aaa/AAA, 91% are U.S. Government Agency
mortgage-backed securities that are not rated by a public rating
agency.  Approximately 8% of other securities with fixed maturities
are rated by Parent's Internal analysts.  No investment in any one
issuer is greater than 1% of IDSC's total investment in securities
with fixed maturities.

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

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

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

4.  Investments in First Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

At June 30, 1996, approximately 7% of IDSC's invested assets were
first mortgage loans on real estate.  A summary of first mortgage
loans by type of real estate is as follows:
<TABLE><CAPTION>

  ---------------------------------           -------------------------------
</TABLE>

Under SFAS No. 114, impairment of first mortgage loans is measured
as the excess of the loan's recorded investment over its present
value of expected principal and interest payments discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of collateral. 
The amount of the impairment is recorded in a reserve for loss on
mortgage loans.

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

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

At June 30, 1996, IDSC's recorded investment in impaired mortgage
loans was $930 and the reserve for loss on that amount was $611. 
During the first six months of 1996, the average recorded
investment in impaired mortgage loans was $961.

IDSC recognized $45 of interest income related to impaired mortgage
loans for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

There were no changes in the reserve for loss on mortgage loans
during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------
At June 30, 1996, there were no commitments for fundings of first
mortgage loans outstanding.  If there were any commitments, IDSC
employees policies and procedures to ensure the creditworthiness of
the borrowers and that funds will be available on the funding date. 
IDSC's first mortgage loan fundings are restricted to 75% or less
of the market value of the real estate at the time of the loan
funding.

5.  Certificate Reserves

Reserves maintained on outstanding certificates have been computed
in accordance with the provisions of the certificates and Section
28 of the 1940 Act.  The average rates of accumulation on
certificate reserves at June 30, 1996 were:

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

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 June
30, 1996, $15,240 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 3.14%.  IDSC has
increased the rate of accrual to 4.85% through April 30, 1997.  An
appropriation of retained earnings amounting to $50 has been made,
which represents the estimated additional accrual that will result
from the increase granted by IDSC.

D)  IDS Stock Market Certificate enables the certificate holder to
participate in any relative rise in a major stock market index
without risking loss of principal.  Generally the certificate has a
term of 12 months and may continue for up to 14 successive terms. 
The reserve balance at June 30, 1996 was $260,279.

6.  Dividend Restriction

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

7.  Fees Paid to IDS and Affiliated Companies ($ not in thousands)

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

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

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

Fees payable to American Express Financial Advisors Inc. on sales
of IDSC's certificates are based upon terms of agreements giving
American Express Financial Advisors Inc. the exclusive right to
distribute the certificates covered under the agreements.  The
agreements provide for payment of fees over a period of time.  The
aggregate fees payable under the agreements per $1,000 face amount
of installment certificates and $1,000 purchase price of single
payments, and a summary of the periods over which the fees are
payable, shown by series are:<PAGE>

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

D)  The basis for computing fees paid or payable to American
Express Bank Ltd. (an affiliate) for the distribution of the IDS
Special Deposits certificate on an annualized basis is 1.25% of the
reserves maintained for the certificates on an amount from $100,000
to $249,000, 0.80% on an amount from $250,000 to $499,000, 0.65% on
an amount from $500,000 to $999,000 and 0.50% on an amount

certificates with a one, two or three-month term.  Fees are paid at
the end of each quarter from date of issuance on certificates with
a six, 12, 24 or 36-month term.

8.  Federal Income Taxes

The federal income tax rate applicable to income of IDSC for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 was based on the effective tax rate
expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year ending Dec. 31,
1996.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate and the
expected federal income tax rate at Dec. 31, 1996 is:

  9.  Derivative Financial Instruments

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

Market risk is the possibility that the value of the derivative
financial instrument will change due to fluctuations in a factor
from which the instrument derives its value, primarily an interest
rate or a major market index.  IDSC is not impacted by market risk
related to derivatives held because derivatives are largely used to
manage risk and, therefore, the cash flows and income effects of
the derivatives are inverse to the effects of the underlying hedged
transactions.
<PAGE>
PAGE 20
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

IDSC's holdings of derivative financial instruments were as follows

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

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

The interest rate caps are quarterly reset caps and IDSC earns
interest on the notional amount to the extent the London Interbank
Offering Rate exceeds the reference rates specified in the cap
agreements.  These reference rates range from 5% to 9%.  The cost
of these caps of $962 at June 30, 1996, is being amortized over the<PAGE>

terms of the agreements on a straight line basis and is included in
other qualified assets.  The amortization, net of any interest
earned, is included in investment expenses.

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

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