(unaudited)
1. General
In the opinion of the management of IDS Life Insurance Company (the Company),
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly its balance sheet as of September 30, 1999, statements of income for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and statements of cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Financial
Corporation (AEFC), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express
Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, IDS Life Insurance Company of
New York, American Enterprise Life Insurance Company, American Centurion Life
Assurance Company, American Partners Life Insurance Company and American Express
Corporation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Purchased and written index options are carried at market value and included in
other investments or other liabilities as appropriate. Gains or losses on index
options that qualify as hedges are deferred and recognized in management and
other fees in the same period as the hedged fee income. Gains or losses on index
options that do not qualify as hedges are marked to market through the income
statement.
2. Nature of business
The Company is engaged in the life insurance and annuity business. The Company
sells various forms of fixed and variable individual life insurance, group life
insurance, individual and group disability income insurance, long-term care
insurance, and single and installment premium fixed and variable annuities.
3. Statements of cash flows
The Company considers investments with a maturity at the date of their
acquisition of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These securities are
carried principally at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

4. Commitments and contingencies (continued)
A number of lawsuits have been filed against life and health insurers in
jurisdictions in which the Company and AEFC do business involving insurers'
sales practices, alleged agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise agents,
and other matters. The Company and AEFC, like other life and health insurers,
from time to time are involved in such litigation. On December 13, 1996, an
action entitled Lesa Benacquisto and Daniel Benacquisto vs. IDS Life Insurance
Company and American Express Financial Corporation was commenced in Minnesota
state court. The action is brought by individuals who replaced an existing
Company insurance policy with a new Company policy. The plaintiffs purport to
represent a class consisting of all persons who replaced existing Company
policies with new policies from and after January 1, 1985. The complaint puts at
issue various alleged sales practices and misrepresentations, alleged breaches
of fiduciary duties and alleged violations of consumer fraud statutes. The
Company and AEFC filed an answer to the Complaint on February 18, 1997, denying
the allegations. A second action, entitled Arnold Mork, Isabella Mork, Ronald
Melchert and Susan Melchert vs. IDS Life Insurance Company and American Express
Financial Corporation was commenced in the same court on March 21, 1997. In
addition to claims that are included in the Benacquisto lawsuit, the second
action includes an allegation of improper replacement of an existing IDS Life
annuity contract. A subsequent class action, Richard Thoresen and Elizabeth
Thoresen vs. AEFC, American Partners Life Insurance Company, American Enterprise
Life Insurance Company, American Centurion Life Assurance Company, IDS Life
Insurance Company and IDS Life Insurance Company of New York, was filed in the
same court on October 13, 1998 alleging that the sale of annuities in
tax-deferred contributory retirement investment plans (e.g. IRA's) was done
through deceptive marketing practices, which the company denies. Plaintiffs in
each of the aforementioned actions seek damages in an unspecified amount and
also seek to establish a claims resolution facility for the determination of
individual issues.
The Company and its parent believe they have meritorious defenses to the claims
raised in the lawsuits. The outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with
certainty. In the opinion of management, however, the ultimate resolution of the
above lawsuits and others filed against the Company should not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1998:
Consolidated net income increased 15 percent to $462 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to $402 million in 1998. Earnings growth
resulted primarily from increases in management fees and policyholder and
contractholder charges and an increase in spread rates.
Premiums received totaled $3.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30,
1999, compared to $3.3 billion a year ago. Increased sales of variable annuities
and life insurance were partially offset by decreased sales of fixed annuities.
Policyholder and contractholder charges increased to $305 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, compared with $284 million a year ago. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in life insurance in force.
Management and other fees increased to $345 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 compared with $296 million a year ago. This was primarily due
to an increase in average separate account assets outstanding, resulting
primarily from market appreciation. The Company provides investment management
services for many of the mutual funds which are used as investment options for
variable annuities and variable life insurance. The Company also receives a
mortality and expense risk fee from the separate accounts.
Net investment income decreased to $1,430 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 compared to $1,490 million one year ago. This is primarily
due to lower investments in fixed maturities at September 30, 1999 compared to
September 30, 1998.
Total benefits and expenses were $1.6 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, a decrease of 2 percent from a year ago. The largest
component of expenses, interest credited on universal life-type insurance and
investment contracts, decreased 7 percent to $923 million. This was due to lower
aggregate amounts of fixed annuities in force and lower crediting rates,
reflecting market conditions. Other insurance and operating expenses increased 8
percent as a result of business growth and technology costs related to growth
initiatives.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The liquidity requirements of the Company are met by funds provided from
operations and investment activity. The primary components of the funds provided
are premiums, investment income, proceeds from sales of investments as well as
maturities and periodic repayments of investment principal.
The primary uses of funds are policy benefits, commissions and operating
expenses, policy loans, new investment purchases and dividends to parent.
The Company has an available line of credit with its parent totaling $100
million. This line of credit is used strictly as a short-term source of funds.
At September 30, 1999, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $100
million. The Company also uses reverse repurchase agreements for short-term
liquidity needs. Outstanding reverse repurchase agreements totaled $5.5 million
at September 30, 1999.
At September 30, 1999, approximately 11 percent of the Company's invested assets
were below-investment-grade bonds, compared to 13 percent at December 31, 1998.
These investments may be subject to a higher degree of risk than higher-rated
issues because of the borrowers' generally greater sensitivity to adverse
economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, and in
certain instances the lack of an active secondary market. Expected returns on
below-investment-grade bonds reflect consideration of such factors. The Company
has identified those fixed maturities for which a decline in fair value is
determined to be other than temporary, and has written them down to fair value
with a charge to earnings.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, sales of fixed maturities held to
maturity were due to significant deterioration in the issuers' creditworthiness.
At September 30, 1999, the Company had an allowance for losses on mortgage loans
of $41 million.
The Company paid $290 million in dividends to its parent during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 1999, the Company adopted, Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use", which was issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA). The SOP requires the capitalization of certain costs
incurred subsequent to December 31, 1998, in connection with developing or
obtaining software for internal use. Adoption of the SOP did not have a material
impact on the Company's earnings or financial position.
On January 1, 1999 the Company also adopted SOP 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance
and Other Enterprises for Insurance Related Assessments". The SOP requires
recognition of liabilities for insurance-related assessments when information
indicates it is probable an assessment will be imposed and the amount of the
assessment can be reasonably estimated. The Company had previously been
recognizing a liability for potential insurance-related assessments. Therefore,
adoption of the SOP did not have a material impact on the Company's earnings or
financial position.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year 2000
The Company began addressing the Year 2000 (Y2K) issue in 1995 and has
established a plan for resolution, which involves the remediation,
decommissioning and replacement of relevant systems, including mainframe,
mid-range and desktop computers, application software, operating systems,
systems software, data back-up archival and retrieval services, telephone and
other communications systems, and hardware peripherals and facilities dependent
on embedded technology. The Y2K compliance effort is divided into two
initiatives. The first, known as "Millenniax," relates to mainframe and other
technological systems maintained by the American Express Technologies
organization (AET). The second, known as "Business T," relates to the
technological assets that are owned, managed or maintained by the Company's
individual business and staff units. Our plans for remediation of the Y2K issue
include the following program phases: (i) employee awareness and mobilization,
(ii) inventory collection and assessment, (iii) impact analysis, (iv)
remediation/decommission, (v) testing and (vi) implementation. With respect to
the Millenniax systems and Business T assets, all of the program phases referred
to above are at least 99 percent complete.
The Company's cumulative costs since inception of the Y2K initiatives were $495
million through September 30, 1999 and are estimated to be in the range of $22 -
$48 million for the remainder through 2000.* These costs, which are expensed as
incurred, relate to both Millenniax and Business T, and have not had, nor are
they expected to have, a material adverse impact on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.* Y2K costs related to Millenniax represent 6
percent and 1 percent of the AET budget for the years 1999 and 2000,
respectively.*
The Company's major businesses are heavily dependent upon internal computer
systems, and all have significant interaction with systems of third parties,
both domestically and internationally. The Company is working with key external
parties, including merchants, clients, counterparties, vendors, exchanges,
utilities, suppliers, agents and regulatory agencies to mitigate the potential
risks to us of Y2K. As part of our overall compliance program, the Company is
actively communicating with third parties through face-to-face meetings and
correspondence, on an ongoing basis, to ascertain their state of readiness.
Although numerous third parties have indicated to us in writing that they are
addressing their Y2K issues on a timely basis, the Company does not directly
control the remediation efforts of such parties, and therefore cannot provide
assurances that they will be Y2K compliant. The failure of external parties to
resolve their own Y2K issues in a timely manner could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.*
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year 2000 (continued)
During the third quarter of 1999 our plans for targeted integrated testing of
systems that support our most critical business functions, and independent
validation of such testing, were completed. At this point, the Company is in the
process of finalizing specific Y2K contingency plans and establishing plans to
address our year-end activities related to Y2K. Our contingency planning effort,
which addresses all critical systems and, to a lesser extent, certain
non-critical systems, is a full-scale initiative that includes both internal and
external experts under the guidance of a Company-wide steering committee. Our
contingency plans, which are based in part on an assessment of the magnitude and
probability of potential risks, primarily focus on proactive steps to prevent
Y2K-related failures from occurring, or if they should occur, detecting them
quickly, minimizing their impact and expediting their repair. The Y2K
contingency plans supplement disaster recovery and business continuity plans
already in place, and include measures such as selecting alternative suppliers
and channels of distribution and setting up manual back-up processes.
Our Y2K contingency plans have been developed generally in accordance with
guidelines established by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council. This effort is divided into four phases: (i) establishing
organizational planning guidelines, (ii) completing a business impact analysis,
(iii) developing the contingency plans and (iv) validating and verifying the
contingency plans. These phases are to be followed by a detailed year-end plan.*
All four of the above phases have essentially been completed, and have
identified and assessed the need for, and developed, Y2K contingency plans for
the Company's most critical core business functions. Such functions include, but
are not limited to, credit authorization, Cardmember billing, merchant payment,
client investments, funds transfer, securities settlement and travel
reservations. These contingency plans also address third party systems that the
Company's businesses interface with and rely upon, such as international
telecommunications networks and utilities, global financial payment and clearing
systems, and airline and other travel systems.
Going forward, our primary focus will be on planning year-end activities related
to Y2K.* Such activities include the establishment of global command centers;
scheduling the availability of key personnel; establishing additional roll-over
management procedures, including proactive monitoring of select critical
functions and assets; the development of Y2K incident tracking and reporting
tools; and the establishment of specific Y2K-related communications.*
Additionally, rehearsals of these year-end activities will be conducted during
the fourth quarter of 1999.*

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year 2000 (continued)
The Company will continue to refine its contingency and year-end planning
activities throughout 1999 as additional information related to our exposures is
gathered.* To the extent that there are Y2K failures that affect major internal
processes or third party systems that the Company relies upon, including but not
limited to those described above, such failures could have a material impact on
the Company and its businesses or subsidiaries through business interruption or
shutdown, financial loss, regulatory actions, reputational damage and legal
liability to third parties.* At this point it appears that some of the major
industries in certain countries outside the United States, such as
telecommunications and utilities, have made less progress in the Y2K compliance
effort and, as a result, may present a somewhat greater exposure to the
Company.*
For additional information relating to the Y2K issue, see pages eleven through
thirteen of the Company's 1998 annual report to shareholders, which is
incorporated by reference in the Company's 1998 10-K report, and the Company's
10-Q reports for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999.
* Statements in this Y2K discussion marked with an asterisk are forward-looking
statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important factors that
could cause results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements
include, among other things, the ability of the Company to successfully identify
all systems containing two-digit codes, the nature and amount of programming and
other resources required to fix and test the affected systems, the costs of
labor and consultants related to such efforts as well as those involving the
development and implementation of contingency plans, the continued availability
of such personnel, the ability of third parties that interface with the Company
to successfully address their Y2K issues, and the ability of the Company to
assess potential internal and external Y2K exposures and develop effective
contingency plans in connection therewith.
