                         Quarter Ended June 30, 1996


BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND COMPANY BACKGROUND
    
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 this 
objective 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 June 30, 1996.

On June 15, 1994, William F. Rigby acquired 97.7 percent of the Company's then
outstanding common stock in a tender offer for cash consideration in the amount
of $957,780.  In accordance with the tender offer terms and conditions, a 
reverse stock split was subsequently concluded during the first quarter of 1995.
The remaining 2.3 percent of shares outstanding became fractional shares as a 
result of the split and were paid out in the form of cash.  The reverse stock 
split occurred on February 28, 1995, and resulted in a reduction of pre-split 
issued and outstanding shares of 163,453 to 1,618 post-split shares.  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.  On February 28, 1995, the Company re-acquired all 
fractional common shares created by the reverse stock split for approximately 
$23,000.

The Idaho Company continues to explore opportunities to form and/or manage a
Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC).  The Idaho Company may ultimately
consider forming a subsidiary or affiliate for the purpose of becoming licensed
as an SBIC.  The Company may also pursue a partnership arrangement.

                                      6

    
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
    
     Unaudited Interim Financial Statements:  In the opinion of management, the
accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly
represent the financial position of The Idaho Company and the results of
operations and cash flows.

     This report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, should be 
read in conjunction with the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 1995, and report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 
1996.

    Loans:  The Company makes commercials 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 are resumed on such loans only when,
in the judgment of management, the loans are fully collectible. 

    Allowance for Loan Losses:  The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the 
allowance when management believes that the collectibility of principal is 
unlikely.  The allowance is an amount which management believes would be 
adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans, based on 1) conditions 
existing at the balance sheet date, 2) evaluations of the collectibility of the
loans and 3) 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 repay.

    Income Taxes:  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Statement
No. 109).  Under the asset and liability method of Statement No. 109, 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.  Under Statement
No. 109, 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.

    Excess of Net Assets Acquired over Cost: The excess of net assets acquired
over purchase price is amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year 
life.

    Income Per Share:  Income per share is computed by dividing the net income 
by the average number of shares outstanding during the period.  See "Basis of
Presentation" for a description of the reverse stock split occurring on 
February 28, 1995.
                                    7


    Interest Bearing Deposits:  Interest bearing deposits are comprised of
certificates of deposit and other deposits.   

    Notes Payable:  The Company was obligated under an installment note during 
the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The Company currently borrows against a line

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  The quarter ended June 30, 1996 resulted in net
income of $8,129, compared to net income of $1,718 for the quarter ended June 
30, 1995.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 equaled $12,825, 
compared to net income of $20,843 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  
The six month period ended June 30, 1995 included income from the sale of 
an SBA-guaranteed loan, which substantially increased profitability
during 1995.  Year-to-date results for 1996 are in line with management's
projections.    

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were primarily derived from 
interest on loans receivable and loan fees.  Non-cash revenues were also 
realized from the amortization of negative goodwill (see "Basis of 
Presentation" under Notes to Financial Statements).  The primary sources of 
revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, were interest on loans receivable,
other interest income, and loan fees. 

Shareholders' equity on June 30, 1996, was $1,028,548 compared to shareholders
equity of $1,005,313 on June 30, 1995.  

Inflation has had no significant impact upon the operating overhead, lending or
investing activities of the company.  Management anticipates that interest 
rates will remain relatively constant throughout 1996. 


    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company held
$28,999 in cash accounts (including interest bearing accounts) to fund loans 
and operating expenses.  The Company has available a line of credit in the 
amount of $250,000 at a rate of Prime plus 1.5 percent, of which $67,446 was 
drawn at quarter end.  At June 30, 1996, current portions of loans receivable 
totalled $488,140.  No extraordinary capital expenditures were anticipated at 
quarter end.  Management believes that existing cash, the line of credit, and 
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to allow the Company to meet 
its obligations as they come due.

At June 30, 1996, the largest asset items were cash and loans receivable, net 
of reserve, totalling $1,166,892 out of $1,184,102 total assets.  At June 30, 
1995, the largest asset items consisted of cash and loans receivable, net, 
totalling $1,085,347 out of $1,099,663 total assets.
