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.

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

the year ended December 31, 1998.  Lending activity resulted in the

also arranged for $3,010,406 in financing from other sources mainly for
long-term real estate transactions.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
Results Of Operation.

Nearly all of the Company's assets are employed in loans to Idaho
businesses earning market rates of interest.  At December 31, 1998, other
than one SBA guaranteed loan in the amount of $168,364 that is in
liquidation, there were no loans 30 or more days past due in the portfolio.
The Company created or retained an estimated 114 jobs in the State of Idaho
during 1998.

The Company abandoned its financial backing of the development of
Littlewood Capital Resources, L.P., a limited partnership, which would
become licensed as a Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC).  With
the abandonment of this SBIC, the Company has begun investing in equity
positions of startup companies throughout Idaho, and currently holds
equity positions in three such companies.

Results Of Operations

The primary sources of revenue for the Company during 1998, 1997, and 1996
were interest earned on loans, loan fees, and premiums received on the
sale of those loans.  This year will stand out as the year of growth in
average outstanding loan balances and gross revenues never before seen in
the history of the Company.  Major expense categories in 1998 and 1997 were
payroll, interest expense, severance, and rent.

Operations for 1998, 1997, and 1996 resulted in net income (loss) of
($47,354) (as restated), $5,384,and $42,629, respectively.  As restated,
the sale of the Other Real Estate Owned was to a company owned by an
officer and the majority stockholder of the Company.  Cash proceeds of
$425,502 were received as consideration with $154,059 in excess of the
carrying value of the real estate owned and is being restated as a
contribution of capital by the major shareholder instead of gain on sale
as originally reported.  During 1998, the Company saw increased expenses
in payroll and interest expense as it grew its loan volume from the
previous year.  These two expenses totaled $201,580 as compared to $92,433
in the previous year.


                                       5

1998 was a year in experimentation with personnel.  Two employees were
hired and subsequently dismissed and thus, higher than normal salary
expense for 1998 without sufficient income to compensate for the expense.  This
had a major negative impact on net income for 1998 that will not be felt
again in future years.

Inflation has had little impact upon the operating overhead, lending or
investing activities of the Company during 1998, 1997 and 1996.  Interest
rates have remained stable with loan volumes increasing during 1998.


Liquidity And Capital Resources

The Company has substantially all available capital invested in loans.
Liquidity for operations and additional lending is provided through income,
$1,500,000 in unsecured lines of credit and $800,000 in secured line of
credit.  The Company has $532,168 in secured and $437,232 in unsecured
borrowings at year end.  Principal payments on the Company's loans
receivable are applied to reducing the line.  The Company's lines of credit
mature and are renewable one year from the date of contract or mature
within five years of the specific obligation.  If additional funds are
raised, the Company will be able to increase net income commensurately,
provided the Company maintains its current overhead structure.

No material commitments for capital equipment existed at year end 1998.
No unusual capital expenditures are anticipated at this time.  On
December 25, 1998 the Company declared $75,000 in dividends and
paid them on January 13, 1999.  Management anticipates that cash
will be generated from operations in amounts sufficient to allow the
Company to meet its obligations as they come due and to further
strengthen the financial stability of the Company.  The Company
had commitments to fund loans in the amount of $29,366 at December
31, 1998.


Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company participates in commercial loans.  This is subject to specific
policies that are focused on preserving principal, maintaining proper
liquidity to meet operating needs, and maximizing yields.

The Company's operations may be subject to a variety of market risks, the
most material of which is the risk of changing interest rates.  Most
generally, interest rate risk is the volatility in financial performance
attributable to changes in market interest rates, which may result in
either fluctuation of net interest income or changes to the economic value
of the equity of the Company.

After a review of its commercial loans as of December 31, 1998, the
Company has determined that its current exposure to interest rate risk
would not result in a significant impact to the financial statements taken
as a whole.

				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, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1998.  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, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 12, the accompanying financial statements have been
restated.

(1)	Description of Company

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 dividend policy must be approved by the Director of the Department of
Finance of the State of Idaho.  The Company is not obligated to pay a
dividend or dividend in kind.

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 is 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, 1998.

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)	Loans

The Company makes commercial loans to Idaho small businesses to stimulate
economic activity through job creation. 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 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 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.

The Company originates loans to customers under a program that generally
provides for SBA guarantees of 75 percent to 90 percent of each loan.
Historically, the Company has sold the guaranteed portion of each loan to
a third-party and has retained the unguaranteed portion in its own
portfolio.  The Company allocates basis of the loans sold and the
retained portions based upon their relative fair market value.
The Company may be required to refund a portion of the sales premium
received, if the borrower defaults or the loan prepays within 90 days
of the settlement date.  At December 31, 1998, the Company had received
premiums of $11,594, subject to such recourse.




                                       12
(b)	Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense.  Loans and other investments 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 and other investments that may become uncollectible, based
on conditions existing at the balance sheet date using evaluations of the
collectibility of loans and other investments 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.

(c)	Office Equipment and Vehicles

Office equipment and vehicles are stated at cost.  Depreciation on
equipment and vehicles is calculated on the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:

Office equipment    3 years
Vehicles            5 years

(d)	Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method,
under which deferred tax assets and deferred tax 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 deferred tax 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 deferred tax liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

(e)	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.














                                       13
(f)	Net Earnings Per Share

On December 31, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions SFAS No. 128,
Earnings Per Share.  SFAS 128 requires the presentation of both basic and
diluted earnings per share (EPS).  Basic EPS is the amount of net income
or loss divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding.  Diluted EPS is the amount of income or loss for the period
divided by the weighted average number of shares plus all potentially
dilutive common shares.  The earnings were the same for both the basic and
diluted EPS calculations.  The basic and diluted weighted average number
of shares used for calculating EPS for the years ending December 31, 1998
and 1997, was 1,618.

(g)	Other Investments

The Company has two noninterest bearing convertible debt instruments
issued by software companies located in Idaho Falls, Idaho, one valued at
$25,000 and second valued at $12,500.  The Company also has a $75,000
nonvoting preferred stock interest in a mid-market brokerage firm located
in Boise, Idaho and a $1,865 investment in Farmer Mac stock.

(h)	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.

(i)	Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in 1997 have been reclassified to conform with
the 1998 presentation.






















                                       14
(3)	Loans Receivable

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