         This  Statement on Schedule 13G relates to shares of common stock,  par
value $.10 per share (the "Common Stock"),  of Mississippi View Holding Company,
whose principal executive offices are located at 35 East Broadway, Little Falls,
Minnesota  (the  "Issuer").  40,000  shares of the Common Stock were acquired by
Tidal Insurance Limited ("Tidal") on February 6, 1997, at a time when there were
approximately 859,714 shares outstanding.  Accordingly,  the shares acquired did
not constitute 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock. Tidal is wholly owned
by Investors of America Limited Partnership ("Investors").

         In  December,  1998 the  shares of Common  Stock  were  transferred  to
Investors.  In  early  January  2000,  during a review  of  investments,  it was
realized  for the  first  time  that the  Issuer's  repurchases  of  shares  had
increased the percentage  ownership  represented by 40,000 shares from less than
5% to 7.4%.  Accordingly,  the reporting persons are filing this Schedule 13G in
order to report such ownership. Except for the transfer of the shares from Tidal
to Investors,  there have been no transactions in the Common Stock by any of the
reporting persons since Tidal's initial acquisition of the 40,000 shares.

         James F. Dierberg is the  controlling  shareholder of First  Securities
America,  Inc., and First  Securities  America,  Inc. is the General  Partner of
Investors.  Because (1) Investors controls Tidal, (2) First Securities  America,
Inc.  controls  Investors,  and (3) James F. Dierberg  controls First Securities
America,  Inc.,  Investors and Tidal, Tidal, First Securities America,  Inc. and
Mr. Dierberg may be deemed to be beneficial owners of the shares reported.
