                          IDS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts
      of IDS Life Insurance Company and companies in which it directly or
      indirectly has a controlling financial interest. All material
      intercompany transactions and balances between or among IDS Life
      Insurance Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates have been
      eliminated in consolidation. IDS Life Insurance Company is a
      wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. ("Ameriprise
      Financial"). IDS Life Insurance Company is a stock life insurance
      company with four wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: IDS Life
      Insurance Company of New York, American Partners Life Insurance
      Company, American Enterprise Life Insurance Company and American
      Centurion Life Assurance Company. IDS Life Insurance Company also owns
      IDS REO 1, LLC; IDS REO 2, LLC and American Enterprise REO 1, LLC which
      hold real estate investments. IDS Life Insurance Company and its seven
      subsidiaries are referred to collectively in this Form 10-Q as "IDS
      Life".

      The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared
      in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
      ("GAAP"). The interim financial information in this report has not been
      audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
      fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the
      consolidated results of operations for the interim periods have been
      made. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. Results
      of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily
      indicative of results for the entire year. These Consolidated Financial
      Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the
      Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Annual Report on
      Form 10-K of IDS Life for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with
      the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 10, 2006.

      Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to
      conform to the current presentation.

2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
      FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
      Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48
      clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in
      accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
      FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process to recognize and measure a tax
      position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step
      is to determine whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than
      -not recognition threshold and the second step is to measure a tax
      position that meets the threshold to determine the amount of benefit
      to recognize. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
      classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
      disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
      beginning after December 15, 2006. IDS Life is currently evaluating
      the impact of FIN 48 on IDS Life's consolidated financial condition
      and results of operations.

      In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards ("SFAS") No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
      Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." SFAS No.
      155 improves financial reporting by eliminating the exemption from
      applying SFAS No. 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so
      that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the
      form of the instruments. It also improves financial reporting by
      allowing a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at
      issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is
      subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on an
      instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would
      otherwise have to be bifurcated. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all
      financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an
      entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. IDS
      Life is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 155 on IDS Life's
      consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

      In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public
      Accountants issued Statement of Position 05-1, "Accounting by Insurance
      Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With
      Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts" ("SOP 05-1"). SOP
      05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for
      deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and
      investment contracts other than those specifically described in SFAS
      No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain
      Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale
      of Investments." SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements
      occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with
      earlier adoption encouraged. IDS Life is currently evaluating the
      impact of SOP 05-1 on IDS Life's consolidated financial condition and
      results of operations.

3.    SEPARATION OF AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL, INC.

      Prior to August 1, 2005, Ameriprise Financial was referred to as
      American Express Financial Corporation. On February 1, 2005, the
      American Express Company ("American Express") Board of Directors
      announced its intention to pursue the disposition of 100% of its
      shareholdings in what is now Ameriprise Financial ("the Separation")
      through a tax-free distribution to American Express shareholders.
      Effective as of the close of business on September 30, 2005, American
      Express completed the Separation and distribution of common shares to
      American Express shareholders ("the Distribution"). In connection with
      the Distribution, Ameriprise Financial entered into certain agreements
      with American Express to effect the separation of its business and to
      define the responsibility for obligations arising before and after the
      date of the Distribution, including, among others, obligations relating
      to transition services, taxes, and employees. IDS Life was allocated
      certain expenses incurred as a result of Ameriprise Financial becoming
      an independent company. Cumulatively, the expenses allocated to IDS
      Life are significant to IDS Life. IDS Life received a capital
      contribution of $650 million from Ameriprise Financial during the third
      quarter of 2005 to support its financial strength ratings and to cover
      separation costs.

      During 2005, Ameriprise Financial developed an allocation policy for
      separation costs resulting in the allocation of certain costs to IDS
      Life that it considered to be a reasonable reflection of separation
      costs benefiting IDS Life. Separation costs incurred during the first
      half of 2006 primarily related to marketing and rebranding and
      technology costs, while separation costs in 2005 were primarily
      comprised of marketing and rebranding, technology costs and advisor and
      other retention programs. Net income includes separation costs of $30.8
      million and $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and
      2005, respectively, and $55.4 million and $25.8 million for the six
      months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

      The majority of the gross unrealized investment losses related to
      corporate debt securities and substantially all of the gross unrealized
      investment losses related to mortgage and other asset-backed securities
      was attributable to changes in interest rates. A portion of the gross
      unrealized investment losses, particularly related to corporate debt
      securities, was also attributable to credit spreads and specific issuer
      credit events.

5.    LINES OF CREDIT

      Effective June 30, 2006, IDS Life has available a committed line of
      credit with Ameriprise Financial aggregating $200 million. The
      interest rate for any borrowings is established by reference to LIBOR
      plus 28 basis points. There were no amounts outstanding on this line
      of credit at June 30, 2006.

6.    INCOME TAXES

      IDS Life is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion
      of the deferred tax assets that management believes will not be
      realized. Included in IDS Life's deferred tax assets is a significant
      deferred tax asset relating to capital losses realized for tax return
      purposes and capital losses that have been recognized for financial
      statement purposes but not yet for tax return purposes. Under current
      U.S. federal income tax law, capital losses generally must be used
      against capital gain income within five years of the year in which the
      capital losses are recognized for tax purposes. IDS Life's deferred tax
      assets include $231 million in capital loss carryforwards that expire
      December 31, 2009. Based on analysis of IDS Life's tax position,
      management believes it is more likely than not that the results of
      future operations and implementation of tax planning strategies will
      generate sufficient taxable income to enable IDS Life to utilize all of
      its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no valuation allowance for
      deferred tax assets was established as of June 30, 2006 and December
      31, 2005.

7.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, IDS Life had commitments to
      fund mortgage loans on real estate of $111.7 million and $106.8
      million, respectively.

      The SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers and several
      state authorities have brought proceedings challenging several mutual
      fund and variable product financial practices, generally including
      suitability, late trading, market timing, compensation and disclosure
      of revenue sharing arrangements. IDS Life has received requests for
      information and has been contacted by regulatory authorities concerning
      its practices and is cooperating fully with these inquiries.

      IDS Life is involved in other proceedings concerning matters arising in
      connection with the conduct of its business activities. IDS Life
      believes that it is not a party to, nor are any of its properties the
      subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings
      that would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
      condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, it is possible
      that the outcome of any such proceedings could have a material adverse
      impact on results of operations in any particular reporting period as
      the proceedings are resolved.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") should be read in
conjunction with IDS Life Insurance Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes presented in Item 1. IDS Life Insurance Company
and its seven subsidiaries are referred to collectively in this Form 10-Q as
"IDS Life". This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that

materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not

Prior to August 1, 2005, Ameriprise Financial was referred to as American
Express Financial Corporation. On February 1, 2005, American Express Company
("American Express") announced its intention to pursue the disposition of
100% of its shareholdings in what is now Ameriprise Financial ("the
Separation") through a tax-free distribution to American Express
shareholders. Effective as of the close of business on September 30, 2005,
American Express completed the Separation and distribution of common shares
to American Express shareholders ("the Distribution"). In connection with the
Distribution, Ameriprise Financial entered into certain agreements with
American Express to effect the separation of its business and to define the
responsibility for obligations arising before and after the date of the
Distribution, including, among others, obligations relating to transition
services, taxes, and employees. IDS Life was allocated certain expenses
incurred as a result of Ameriprise Financial becoming an independent company.
Cumulatively, the expenses allocated to IDS Life are significant to IDS Life.
The majority of such costs are expected to be incurred by December 31, 2006.
IDS Life received a capital contribution of $650 million from Ameriprise
Financial during the third quarter of 2005 to support its financial strength
ratings and to cover separation costs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements and their expected
impact on future consolidated financial condition or results of operations,
see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005

Overview

Net income was $221.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared
to $217.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in net
income primarily reflects increases in mortality and expense risk and other
fees and contractholder and policyholder charges, as well as a decrease in
interest credited, partially offset by lower net realized gain on investments
and net investment income and higher other insurance and operating expense
and separation costs.

Revenues

Premiums for disability income ("DI") and long-term care ("LTC") insurance
increased $7.8 million or 5% reflecting higher DI insurance in force levels.

Net investment income decreased $21.1 million or 2% reflecting a decrease in
both the average yield and in the average level of invested assets, as well
as unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives economically
hedging guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit ("GMWB") provisions. The lower
level of invested assets is primarily a result of declining fixed annuity
account values. The decrease in net investment income also reflects a
reduction in income in 2006 compared to 2005 related to the liquidation of
secured loan trusts. These changes were partially offset by favorable
mark-to-market adjustments on both equity method investments in hedge funds
and derivatives economically hedging equity index annuities ("EIA") and
lower losses related to other derivatives. The impacts from derivatives
economically hedging EIA and GMWB were primarily offset in the interest
credited to account values and death and other benefits for investment
contracts and universal life-type insurance line items, respectively.

Contractholder and policyholder charges increased $40.0 million or 14%
including $17.9 million from recognizing previously deferred cost of
insurance revenues and an increase in the cost of insurance charges on
variable universal life products and charges for variable annuity GMWB
provisions.

Mortality and expense risk and other fees increased $77.0 million or 34%
reflecting higher average values of separate account assets due to increased
inflows and market appreciation.

Net realized investment gains were $10.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 compared to $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, $20.5 million of gross realized
investment gains were partially offset by $9.7 million of losses. Included in
these total net investment gains and losses were $20.0 million of gross
realized investment gains, partially offset by $9.3 million of gross realized
investment losses, classified as Available-for-Sale.


                                     10


For the six months ended June 30, 2005, $72.5 million of gross realized
investment gains were partially offset by $34.7 million of losses and
impairments. Included in these total net investment gains and losses were
$72.4 million of gross realized investment gains partially offset by $32.2
million of gross realized investment losses, as well as $0.6 million of
other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments, classified as
Available-for-Sale. Included in net realized investment gains classified as
Available-for-Sale for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were gross realized
investment gains and losses of $39.2 million and $14.3 million, respectively,
related to the sale of all of IDS Life's retained interest in a collateralized
debt obligation securitization trust.

Benefits and Expenses

Death and other benefits for traditional life insurance decreased $8.1
million or 39% reflecting lower claims volume.

Death and other benefits for investment contracts and universal life-type
insurance increased $8.4 million or 7% reflecting a net increase in guaranteed
minimum death benefit ("GMDB") costs of $15.5 million, $13.8 million of
additional claims expense, including $6.9 million in connection with the
recognition of the previously deferred cost of insurance revenues discussed
previously, higher sales inducement costs of $5.3 million and other increases
in costs and benefits of $10.4 million, partially offset by a net decrease in
GMWB costs of $36.6 million.

Benefits for DI and LTC insurance increased $4.4 million or 12% reflecting
unfavorable claims experience relative to the same period a year ago.

Increase in liabilities for future policy benefits for DI and LTC insurance
increased $13.9 million or 23% including a $5.1 million adjustment to the
liabilities for incurred but not reported claims.

Interest credited to account values decreased by $19.8 million or 4%
primarily due to lower interest crediting rates and lower average
accumulation values of annuities, partially offset by the effect of
appreciation on equity indexed annuities linked to the S&P 500 Index in 2006
versus depreciation in the same period a year ago.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") increased to $209.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $197.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005. Continued strong growth in variable annuity products and
the associated DAC balance resulted in increased DAC amortization. DAC
amortization also increased as a result of an adjustment of $4.7 million to
the unearned commission balance. Partially offsetting these increases, in
connection with recognizing the deferred cost of insurance revenues, the
related claim liabilities and other outstanding claim liabilities were
included in the calculation of estimated gross profits for variable universal
life/universal life resulting in a $5.1 million reduction to DAC amortization.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, IDS Life incurred $55.4
million and $25.8 million, respectively, in separation costs. Separation
costs incurred during the first half of 2006 primarily related to marketing
and rebranding and technology costs, while separation costs in 2005 were
primarily comprised of marketing and rebranding, technology costs and advisor
and other retention programs.

Other insurance and operating expenses increased $30.9 million or 11%
primarily reflecting increased business reinvestment initiatives,
compensation costs and corporate overhead expenses, as well as increased
non-deferrable distribution costs, due in part to higher variable annuity
sales.

Income Taxes

IDS Life's effective tax rate was 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2006
compared to 30% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The lower effective
tax rate primarily reflects higher tax-advantaged items compared to pretax
income in the six months of 2006 compared to the same period a year ago.


                                     11


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The liquidity requirements of IDS Life are generally met by funds provided
by investment income, maturities and periodic repayments of investments,
deposits, premiums and proceeds from sales of investments, as well as
capital contributions from Ameriprise Financial. The primary uses of funds
are surrenders and other benefits, commissions, other product-related
acquisition and sales inducement costs, operating expenses, policy loans,
dividends to Ameriprise Financial and investment purchases. IDS Life
routinely reviews its sources and uses of funds in order to meet its ongoing
obligations. In connection with the separation, IDS Life received a capital
contribution of $650 million from Ameriprise Financial during the third
quarter of 2005 to support its financial strength ratings and to cover
separation costs. On May 15, 2006, IDS Life paid an extraordinary dividend
of $100 million to Ameriprise Financial. Prior to the payment of this
dividend, IDS Life made the required advance notice to the Minnesota
Department of Commerce, its primary state regulator, and received a response
from them stating that they did not object to the payment of this dividend.
IDS Life of New York and American Centurion Life paid dividends to IDS Life
Insurance Company on June 19, 2006 of $23 million and $2 million, respectively.

Effective June 30, 2006, IDS Life has available a committed line of credit
with Ameriprise Financial aggregating $200 million. At June 30, 2006 there
were no amounts outstanding on this line of credit. At June 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, IDS Life had outstanding reverse repurchase agreements
totaling $106.4 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Both the line of
credit and reverse repurchase agreements are used strictly as short-term
sources of funds.

IDS Life Insurance Company and its wholly-owned life insurance subsidiaries
are subject to regulatory capital requirements. Actual capital, determined on
a statutory basis, and regulatory capital requirements, based on the most
