                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Ameriprise Certificate Company ("ACC" or the "Company") is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. ("Ameriprise Financial"). The
accompanying 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 results of operations
and financial position 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.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to
the current presentation. In the second quarter of 2008, ACC reclassified the
mark-to-market adjustment on certain derivatives from investment income to
provision for certificate reserves. This reclassification was made to enhance
transparency and to better align the financial statement captions with the key
drivers of the business. Results of operations reported for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These Financial
Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
and Notes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of ACC for the year ended December
31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February
29, 2008.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 161 "Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 intends to improve financial reporting about
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures
about their impact on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. SFAS 161 requires disclosures regarding the objectives for using
derivative instruments, the fair values of derivative instruments and their
related gains and losses, and the accounting for derivatives and related hedged
items. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. ACC is currently
evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its disclosures. ACC's adoption of SFAS 161
will not impact its results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"
("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are required to be applied
prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which SFAS 157 is
initially applied, except for certain financial instruments as defined in SFAS
157 that require retrospective application. Any retrospective application will
be recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings for the fiscal year of adoption. ACC adopted SFAS 157
effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material
effect on ACC's results of operations and financial condition.

In accordance with FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP 157-2"), ACC will defer the adoption of SFAS 157
until January 1, 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,
except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis. In January 2008, the FASB published for comment
Proposed FSP FAS 157-c "Measuring Liabilities under FASB Statement No. 157"
("FSP 157-c"). FSP 157-c would amend SFAS 157 to clarify the accounting
principles on the fair value measurement of liabilities. ACC is monitoring the
impact that this proposed FSP could have on its results of operations and
financial condition. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the fair
values of ACC's assets and liabilities.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 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 recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition. ACC adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The effect
of adopting FIN 48 on ACC's results of operations and financial condition was
not material.

Other-than-temporary impairments.....    (10,785)    (185)    (10,785)     (185)
</TABLE>

ACC regularly reviews Available-for-Sale securities for impairments in value
considered to be other-than-temporary. The cost basis of securities that are
determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired is written down to current fair
value with a corresponding charge to net income. A write-down for impairment can
be recognized for both credit-related events and for change in fair value due to
changes in interest rates. Once a security is written down to fair value through
net income, any subsequent recovery in value cannot be recognized in net income
until the principal is returned.

Factors ACC considers in determining whether declines in the fair value of
fixed-maturity securities are other-than-temporary include: 1) the extent to
which the market value is below amortized cost; 2) our ability and intent to
hold the investment for a sufficient period of time for it to recover to an
amount at least equal to its carrying value; 3) the duration of time in which
there has been a significant decline in value; 4) fundamental analysis of the
liquidity, business prospects and overall financial condition of the issuer; and
5) market events that could impact credit ratings, economic and business
climate, litigation and government actions, and similar external business
factors. For structured investments (e.g., mortgage-backed securities), ACC also
considers factors such as overall deal structure and its position within the
structure, quality of underlying collateral, delinquencies and defaults, loss
severities, recoveries, prepayments, cumulative loss projections, and discounted
cash flows in assessing potential other-than-temporary impairment of these
investments. Based upon these factors, securities that have indicators of
potential other-than-temporary impairment are subject to detailed review by
management. Securities for which declines are considered temporary continue to
be carefully monitored by management.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, other-than-temporary
impairments of $10.8 million relate to two Alt-A mortgage-backed securities.

In evaluating potential other-than-temporary impairments, ACC considers the
extent to which amortized cost exceeds fair value and the duration of that
difference. A key metric in performing this evaluation is the ratio of fair
value to amortized cost. The following table summarizes the unrealized losses by
ratio of fair value to amortized cost:

4. FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Effective January 1, 2008, ACC adopted SFAS 157, which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an
exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability is not exchanged
subject to a forced liquidation or distressed sale. As a result of adopting SFAS
157, ACC did not record any transition adjustments.

VALUATION HIERARCHY

Under SFAS 157, ACC categorizes its fair value measurements according to a
three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by ACC's
valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as
follows:

Level 1   Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active
          markets that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2   Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted
          prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 3   Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to
          the fair value measurement and unobservable.

DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE

ACC uses valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches
to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. ACC's market approach
uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions
involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. ACC's income approach
uses valuation techniques to convert future projected cash flows to a single
discounted present value amount. When applying either approach, ACC maximizes
the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair
value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair
value hierarchy.

ASSETS

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of
90 days or less. ACC's cash equivalents are classified as Level 2 and are
measured at amortized cost, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value because
of the short time between the purchase of the instrument and its expected
realization.

Investments in Unaffiliated Issuers (Available-for-Sale securities)

When available, the fair value of securities is based on quoted prices in active
markets. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are obtained from
nationally-recognized pricing services, broker quotes, or other model-based
valuation techniques such as the present value of cash flows. Level 1 securities
include U.S. Treasuries. Level 2 securities include agency mortgage-backed
securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed
securities, municipal and corporate bonds and U.S. agency securities. Level 3
securities include certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities and corporate
bonds.

Derivatives (Equity index options, purchased and written)

The fair values of derivatives that are traded in certain over-the-counter
markets are measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as
interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as
Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

4. FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

LIABILITIES

Certificate reserves

ACC uses various Black-Scholes calculations to determine the fair value of the
embedded derivative liability associated with the provisions of its stock market
certificates. The inputs to these calculations are primarily market observable.
As a result, these measurements are classified as Level 2.

The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at
fair value on a recurring basis:

              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, ACC had no commitments to fund first
mortgage loans on real estate. ACC holds the mortgage document for all
outstanding mortgages, which gives it the right to take possession of the
property if the borrower fails to perform according to the terms of the
agreements. ACC employs policies and procedures designed to ensure the
creditworthiness of the borrowers and that funds will be available on the
funding date. ACC's investments in first mortgage loans on real estate are
restricted to 80 percent or less of the market value of the real estate at the
time of the loan funding.

ACC is not aware that it is a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or
regulatory proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, it is possible
that the outcome of any such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on
results of operations in any particular reporting period as the proceedings are
resolved.

6. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 33.3% and 33.1% for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to 108.3% and 759.8% for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The effective tax rate
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 reflected the level of current year tax
advantaged items relative to the level of pretax income. The effective tax rate
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflected the impact of a $0.9 million
tax benefit related to the settlement of taxes for capital losses in prior years
and the level of current year tax advantaged items relative to the level of
pretax income.

As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, ACC had $4 million of gross
unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, approximately $0.8 million, net of
federal tax benefits, of the unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 would affect the effective tax rate.

ACC recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of the income tax provision. ACC recognized interest and penalties of
$0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. ACC had $1.1 million and
$1.0 million for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007, respectively.

It is not expected that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will
change materially in the next 12 months.

ACC files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state
jurisdictions. With few exceptions, ACC is no longer subject to U.S. federal or
state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before
1997. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), as part of the overall examination
of the American Express Company consolidated return, commenced an examination of
ACC's U.S. income tax returns for 1997 through 2002 in the third quarter of
2005. In the first quarter of 2007, the IRS expanded the period of the
examination to include 2003 through 2004. ACC's state income tax returns are
currently under examination by various jurisdictions for years ranging from 1998
through 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS

The following information should be read in conjunction with Ameriprise
Certificate Company's ("ACC") Financial Statements and related notes presented
in Part I, Item 1. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that
reflect ACC's plans, estimates and beliefs. Actual results could differ
materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited
to, those discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements." ACC believes it is
useful to read its management's narrative analysis in conjunction with its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 29, 2008 ("2007 10-K"),
as well as its current reports on Form 8-K and other publicly available
information.

ACC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. ("Ameriprise
Financial"). ACC is registered as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and is in the business of issuing
face-amount investment certificates. Face-amount investment certificates issued
by ACC entitle the certificate owner to receive at maturity a stated amount of
money and interest or credits declared from time to time by ACC, at its
discretion. The certificates issued by ACC are not insured by any government
agency. ACC's certificates are sold primarily by Ameriprise Financial Services,
Inc., an affiliate of ACC. Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. is registered as
a broker-dealer in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

ACC follows U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Certain
reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the
current presentation. In the second quarter of 2008, ACC reclassified the
mark-to-market adjustment on certain derivatives from investment income to
provision for certificate reserves. This reclassification was made to enhance
transparency and to better align the financial statement captions with the key
drivers of the business. Prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to
the current presentation.

ACC's profitability has declined in recent periods and future profitability is
dependent primarily on the interest rate environment and investment
opportunities. Affiliates of Ameriprise Financial and unaffiliated third parties
offer certain competing products which have demonstrated strong appeal to
investors.

Management's narrative analysis of the results of operations is presented in
lieu of management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations, pursuant to General Instructions H(2)(a) of Form 10-Q.

MARKET RISK

Equity market and interest rate fluctuations can have a significant impact on
ACC's results of operations, primarily due to the effects they have on the
spread income generated on ACC's face amount certificate products.

There have been no material changes in ACC's net risk exposure to pretax income
based on its sources of market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

CREDIT RISK

ACC is exposed to credit risk within its investment portfolio, which includes
loans, and through derivative counterparties. Credit risk relates to the
uncertainty of an obligor's continued ability to make timely payments in
accordance with the contractual terms of the instrument or contract. ACC's
potential derivative credit exposure to each counterparty is aggregated with all
of its other exposures to the counterparty to determine compliance with
established credit and market risk limits at the time it enters into a
derivative transaction. ACC manages credit risk through fundamental credit
analysis, issuer and industry concentration guidelines, and diversification
requirements. These guidelines and oversight of credit risk are managed through
our comprehensive enterprise risk management program that includes members of
senior management.

ACC manages the risk of adverse default experience on these investments by
applying disciplined fundamental credit analysis and underwriting standards,
prudently limiting exposures to lower-quality, higher-yielding investments, and
diversifying exposures by issuer, industry, region and property type. For each
counterparty or borrowing entity and its affiliates, ACC's exposures from all
types of transactions are aggregated and managed in relation to guidelines set
by risk tolerance thresholds and external and internal rating quality. ACC
remains exposed to occasional adverse cyclical economic downturns during which
default rates may be significantly higher than the long term historical average
used in pricing.

Credit exposures on derivative contracts may take into account enforceable
netting arrangements and collateral arrangements. Before executing a new type of
structure of derivative contract, ACC determines the variability of the
contract's potential market and credit exposures and whether such variability
might reasonably be expected to create exposure to a counterparty in excess of
established limits.

For additional information regarding ACC's sensitivity to market and credit
risk, see "Management's Narrative Analysis" in ACC's 2007 10-K.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"
("SFAS 157") defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value assumes the
exchange of assets or liabilities in orderly transactions. ACC includes actual
market price, or observable inputs in its fair value measurements to the extent
available. SFAS 157 does not require the use of market prices that are the
result of a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Recent market conditions have
increased the likelihood of other-than-temporary impairments for certain
non-agency residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

Sub-prime mortgage lending is the origination of residential mortgage loans to
customers with weak credit profiles. Alt-A mortgage lending is the origination
of residential mortgage loans to customers who have credit ratings above
sub-prime but may not conform to government-sponsored standards. ACC has
exposure to these types of loans only through mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities. The slow down in the U.S. housing market, combined with relaxed
underwriting standards by some originators, has recently led to higher
delinquency and loss rates for some of these investments. As a part of ACC's
risk management process, an internal rating system is used in conjunction with
market data as the basis for analysis to assess the likelihood that ACC will not
receive all contractual principal and interest payments for these investments.
For the investments that are more at risk for impairment, ACC performs its own
assessment of projected cash flows incorporating assumptions about default
rates, prepayment speeds, loss severity, and geographic concentrations to
determine if an other-than-temporary impairment should be recognized. Based on
this analysis, other than the two Alt-A mortgage-backed securities that had
credit-related impairments recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2008, all
contractual payments are expected to be received.

The following table presents as of June 30, 2008 ACC's residential
mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities backed by sub-prime and Alt-A
mortgage loans by credit rating and vintage year. For presentation in this
table, other-than-temporarily impaired securities are shown at their internal
rating of BB and below (amounts in thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, investment income decreased $22.7
million, or 19.9%, compared to the same period last year. This was primarily a
result of a reduction in holdings, due to lower average client volumes.  This
decrease is offset slightly by an increase in the sales of the Flexible Savings
Certificate, due to the promotion on the seven and thirteen month term
certificates which began in April 2008.

Investment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $2.1
million, or 11.2%, compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease is due to
lower distribution fees, lower transfer agent fees, and lower advisory and
service fees to RiverSource Service Corporation, an affiliate of ACC, mainly due
to lower client volumes on average, compared to the same period in 2007.


                                       14

<PAGE>

The provision for certificate reserves decreased $18.6 million, or 19.7%, for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This was
primarily due to a decrease in average client volumes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $0.7 million and $1.1 million
of gross realized investment gains were offset by $10.9 million and $1.7 million
of gross realized investment losses, respectively. Included in the total
investment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $10.8
million and $0.2 million, respectively, of other-than-temporary impairment
losses on investments. The impairment charges for the six months ended June 30,
2008 related to the other-than-temporary impairment of two Alt-A mortgage-backed
securities. The majority of the realized investment gains and losses were from
securities classified as Available-for-Sale.

The effective tax rate was 33.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared
to 759.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The effective tax rate for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 reflected the level of current year tax
advantaged items relative to the level of pretax income. The effective tax rate
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflected the impact of a $0.9 million
tax benefit related to the settlement of taxes for capital losses in prior years
and the level of tax advantaged items relative to the level of pretax income.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other important factors, which could cause actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from future results, performance or
achievements. These statements are not guarantees or indicative of future
performance. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, those factors, risks and uncertainties

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ACC maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to
be reported in the Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to SEC regulations,
including controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is
accumulated and communicated to ACC's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding the required disclosure. It should be noted that, because of inherent
limitations, ACC's disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

ACC's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of ACC's disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that evaluation, ACC's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that ACC's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at a reasonable level of assurance as of June 30, 2008.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the second quarter of 2008 ACC made certain changes to internal controls
over financial reporting related to the implementation of a new general ledger
system. The system changes were not undertaken in response to any actual or
perceived deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting. There
were no other changes in ACC's internal control over financial reporting (as
such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ACC's internal control
over financial reporting.
