                                     PART I

Item 1.  BUSINESS

The Idaho Company (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the 
State of Idaho on November 28, 1986.  The Company is a for-profit corporation
organized to promote economic growth in Idaho.  The Company achieves this
objective by lending to, investing in, arranging financing for, and consulting
with new, emerging, and expanding businesses.

The Company has pursued a program of lending and equity investing, loan
placement, and management consulting to help small businesses attain greater
financial stability.

Direct loans and investments totalling $1,344,114 were entered into during 
the year ended December 31, 1996.  Lending activity resulted in the creation 
or retention of            jobs in the State of Idaho.

On September 30, 1992, the Company was granted an exemption from the reporting
requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 subject to continued 
compliance with sections 9, 10, 15, 16(a), 17(g), 17(i), 18, 21, 23, 35, 36,
37, and, to the extent necessary to enforce the provisions of the Act, 
sections 38 through 53.  In addition, the Company was exempted from certain
provisions of rule 17g-1.  The exemption allows the Company to make loans to and
investments in Idaho small businesses in excess of forty percent of the 
Company's assets without incurring reporting requirements under the Act.

On June 15, 1994, 97.7 percent of the then issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock were acquired by an individual in a tender offer.  The
consideration paid for the tendered shares totalled $957,780.  On February
28, 1995, a 101 for 1 reverse stock split was enacted, reducing the number of 
shares outstanding to 1,618.  The Company's common stock was changed from $10
par value to no par value.  A capital addition of $22,938 was made by the
majority shareholder for payment of fractional shares.


Item 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company leases office space at 102 S. 17th Street, Suite 201, Boise, 
Idaho  83702.


Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings involving the Company.


Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter
ended December 31, 1996.

Item 5.  MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
         MATTERS

There is no established public trading market for the Company's stock. 
Shareholders as of December 31, 1996, numbered two.

No shareholder is entitled, as a matter of right, to purchase or subscribe for
any unissued or treasury stock of the Company, and no shareholder is entitled,
as a matter of right, to purchase or subscribe for any bonds, notes,
certificates or indebtedness, debentures, or other obligations convertible into
stock of the Company.

The Company does not intend to pay, nor obligate itself to pay, a cash dividend
or dividend in kind to its shareholders unless that payment is consistent with
capital requirements and profitability and has been approved by the Director
of the Department of Finance of the State of Idaho.

On July 15, 1988, Idaho Power Company granted the Company a non interest bearing
note payable in 60 monthly installments of $2,817 beginning on August 1, 1988. 
On September 28, 1992, Idaho Power forgave $24,000 of the note, substantially 
all of the remaining principal, resulting in an extraordinary gain.

Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATION
 
Nearly all of The Idaho Company's assets are employed in loans to Idaho
businesses earning market rates of interest.  There was one loan 30 or more days
past due in the portfolio as of December 31, 1996.  The Company created or
retained an estimated 45 jobs in 1996.

The Company is currently working to raise a minimum of $3 million/maximum of 
$10 million to form Idaho Venture Fund, a limited partnership which would become
licensed as a Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC).  As presently
proposed, The Idaho Company, or an affiliate to be formed, would become the
general partner and earn a management fee for its services.  Limited partnership
interests are being offered to accredited investors in Idaho in accordance with
the Company's Regulation D filing, reviewed and passed upon by the Idaho
Department of Finance in 1995.

Financial statement information included herein is identified as "predecessor"
for periods prior to June 15, 1994, and as "successor" for the periods
thereafter.  For purposes of comparability, the accompanying management's
discussion and analysis combines the successor period beginning June 16, 1994
through December 31, 1994 with the predecessor period January 1, 1994 through
June 15, 1994 in order to compare full year periods of operations.  Information
in the following table is derived from the Company's financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The primary sources of revenue for the Company during 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
interest earned on loans and loan fees.  Average outstanding loan balances
increased, boosting interest earnings during 1996 and 1995.  Major expense
categories in 1996 and 1995 were insurance, accounting, payroll, and allowance
for loan loss.  Major expense categories in 1994 included insurance, payroll,
allowance for loan losses, professional fees, and write off of the Company's
investment in preferred stock.
 
Operations for 1996 and 1995 resulted in net income of $42,629 and $31,070,
respectively.  This compares to a net loss of $110,301 for the 1994 combined
successor and predecessor periods.  During 1994, the Company began accreting the
excess of cost over purchase price (negative goodwill) at a rate of $1,926 per
month, which will continue through June 30, 1999.  The net loss for the year
ended December 31, 1994 was partially due to increases in professional fees
associated with the change in ownership and control of the Company, increases in
the provision for loan losses, and write off of the Company's investment in
preferred stock.

Inflation has had little impact upon the operating overhead, lending or 
investing activities of the Company during 1996, 1995, and 1994. Interest rates
have remained stable as loan volumes have increased during 1996 and 1994.     

No material commitments for capital equipment existed at year end 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has substantially all available capital invested in loans.  
Liquidity for operations and additional lending is provided through a $300,100 
unsecured line of credit, with utilization of $184,921 at year end.  Principal 
payments on the Company's loans receivables are applied to reducing the line.  
The current portion of loans receivable, as of December 31, 1996 totalled 
$516,906.  The Company's line of credit matures on March 31, 1997.  If 
additional funds are raised, the Company will be able to increase net income 
commensurately, provided the Company maintains its current overhead structure.

No unusual capital expenditures are anticipated at this time.  The Company does
not intend to declare nor pay dividends in the foreseeable future.  As such,
management anticipates that cash will be generated from operations in amounts
sufficient to allow the Company to meet its obligations as they come due.

Item 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
<AUDIT-REPORT>

                         Independent Auditors' Report
                         ----------------------------

The Board of Directors
The Idaho Company:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Idaho Company (the
Company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the periods January 1, 1994 to June 15, 1994 
(predecessor) and June 16, 1994 to December 31, 1994 (Successor).  These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the periods January 1, 1994 to 
June 15, 1994 and June 16, 1994 to December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, effective June 15, 1994, an
individual acquired 97.7 percent of the outstanding common stock of the Company
in a business combination accounted for as a purchase.  As a result of the

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

The Idaho Company (the Company), incorporated under the laws of the State of
Idaho on November 28, 1986, is a for-profit corporation.  The Company was formed
to promote economic growth and to stimulate, develop, and advance the business
prosperity of Idaho and its citizens.  The Company achieves these objectives by
lending to, investing in, arranging financing for, and consulting with new,
emerging, and expanding businesses.

The Company is not obligated to pay a dividend or dividend in kind unless the
payment has been approved by the Director of the Department of Finance of the
State of Idaho and is consistent with capital requirements and profitability.

The Company is a licensed Business and Industrial Development Company (BIDCO).
As such, it is regulated by the State of Idaho Department of Finance and subject
to periodic asset quality examinations.  On September 30, 1992, the Company was
granted an exemption from registration as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, conditioned upon satisfying certain
requirements, which have been met as of December 31, 1996.

On June 15, 1994, 97.7 percent of the Company's then outstanding common stock
was acquired by an individual in a tender offer for cash consideration in the
amount of $957,780.  As a result of the change in ownership and control, the
accompanying financial statements are presented on a "push-down accounting"
basis for the successor period, in order to comply with Securities and Exchange
Commission reporting requirements.  Push-down accounting requires that the
purchase price be allocated to the Company's net assets based upon their fair
values at the date of acquisition.  In doing so, the excess of the estimated
fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price has been 
recorded, first, as a reduction to the Company's nonmonetary assets (office 
equipment), and second, as excess of net assets acquired over cost.  The 
purchase price of $957,780, plus the minority stockholders' interest in the 
historical carrying value of the Company's net assets of $25,345 was allocated 
to the Company's net assets.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)  Loans
          -----
 
The Company makes commercial loans to Idaho small businesses to
stimulate economic activity through job creation.  Loans are reported
at the principal amount outstanding, net of an allowance for estimated
loan losses.  Accrual of interest is discontinued when reasonable
doubt exists as to collectibility.  All loans greater than 90 days
delinquent are subject to nonaccrual of interest.  Interest accruals

                           15
<PAGE>

are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current
with respect to principal and interest and when, in the judgment of
management, the loans are fully collectible.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for
loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the
allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  The allowance is an
amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible
losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on
conditions existing at the balance sheet date using evaluations of the
collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience.  The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality,
review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that
may affect the borrower's ability to pay.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when the accrual of
interest has been discontinued.  The amount of the impairment is
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the notes effective interest rate.  Impairment losses
are included in the allowance for loan losses through a provision for
loan losses.

     (b)  Income Taxes
          ------------

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and
operating loss carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. 

     (c)  Excess of Net Assets Acquired Over Cost
          ---------------------------------------

The excess of net assets acquired over cost is accreted on a straight-
line basis over a five-year life.

     (d)  Income (Loss) Per Share
          -----------------------

Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)
by the average number of shares outstanding during the period. 

                                     16
<PAGE>

     (e) Reverse Stock Split
         -------------------

In October of 1994 the Company's Board of Directors approved a 101 for
1 reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. 
The reverse split occurred on February 28, 1995, and resulted in a 
reduction of the pre-split issued and outstanding shares of 163,453 to
post-split issued and outstanding shares of 1,618.  The reverse stock
split has been given retroactive effect to June 16, 1994 in the
accompanying successor financial statements.  Additionally, effective
with the reverse stock split, the Company amended its articles of
incorporation to eliminate the par value feature of its authorized
common stock in favor of a no par value feature.  Such amendment has
also been reflected in the accompanying successor financial statement. 
On February 28, 1995, the Company reacquired all fractional common
shares created by the reverse stock split for approximately $23,000.

     (f)  Use of Estimates
          ----------------

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  In preparing the financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.  
                   
(3)  Loans Receivable

The Company's loan portfolio is diversified among a variety of
industry classifications as follows:
