INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
To The Shareholders and
The Board of Directors
PMD Investment Company
Omaha, Nebraska
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities of PMD Investment Company, including the statement of
investments, as of June 30, 1996, and the related statements of
operations and changes in net assets for the six months then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review
of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our review was conducted for the purpose of expressing limited
assurance that there are no material modifications that should be
made to the financial statements for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The additional weighted
average per share information included in footnote E for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, is presented only for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. This additional information is the
responsibility of the Company's management. Such information has
been subjected to the analytical procedures and inquiry applied in
the review of the basic financial statements and we are not aware
of any material modifications that should be made to such data.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the statement of assets and liabilities of PMD
Investment Company, including the statement of investments, as of
December 31, 1995 and the related statements of operations and
changes in net assets for the year then ended (not presented
herein) and the additional information included in footnote E for
each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 1995; and
in our report dated January 19, 1996, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements and additional information.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31,
1995 and the per share data and ratios for each of the four years
in the period ended December 31, 1995 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the financial statements from
which it has been derived.

PMD INVESTMENT COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
(Unaudited - See Independent Accountants Review Report)
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations - PMD Investment Company (the Company) is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a closed-end diversified management investment company. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial
statements.
Six-Month Financial Statements - The financial statements for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 reflect all adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
statement of the results of operations for the six month period
presented.
Investment Securities - Investment securities are valued at fair
value as determined by the Company's investment adviser at the
statement of assets and liabilities date.
Securities Transactions - Securities transactions are recorded
on a trade date basis. Cost of securities sold is determined
using the identified cost method.
Interest Income - Interest income, adjusted for amortization of
premiums or accretion of discounts on investments in municipal
bonds and notes, is earned from settlement date and recorded on
the accrual basis.
Income Taxes - It is the Company's policy and plan to comply
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially
all of its income, including capital gains, to its shareholders.
No income tax provision has been made since substantially all
the income and capital gains are reported by the shareholders on
their own tax returns.
Management and Service Fees - The investment advisory fee, which
is payable monthly, is based on the value of net assets at each
month end at the annual rate of one-quarter of one percent.
Fees for the services of each of the three directors of the
Company are $5,000 annually with an additional $500 for each
board or committee meeting attended in excess of four meetings
each year. No additional compensation or benefits are paid to
officers of the Company.
Use of Estimates - In preparing the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
B. REDEMPTION OF SHARES
At June 30, 1996, the Company had authorized 20,000,000 shares
of $.50 par value common stock.
Shareholders may redeem shares of stock and receive the net
asset value per share on any December 31 or June 30 by tendering
the shares to be redeemed 90 days prior to the intended
redemption date.
C. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
On January 15, 1981, the Company (formerly Pamida, Inc.) sold
substantially all of its assets which had been used in its
former operations as a discount store business. Although the
purchaser of the Company's operating assets assumed
substantially all of the Company's liabilities and obligations
as part of the purchase transaction, the Company remains
contingently liable for such liabilities and obligations,
including obligations under long-term real estate and equipment
leases, real estate mortgages, and pending claims and litigation
matters, until released by the obligees or until such
liabilities and obligations have been satisfied or discharged.
The total of such liabilities and obligations not released by
the obligees amounted to approximately $8,709,289 as of December
31, 1995, the most recent date for which such information is
available.
In connection with the asset sale transaction, the Company
agreed to deposit certain of its investment securities in an
escrow fund to provide additional collateral for the payment of
certain industrial development revenue (IDR) bonds which were
outstanding and assumed by the buyer. Among other provisions of
the escrow agreements, the value of securities deposited in
escrow is required to be at least 105% of the remaining
principal amount of IDR bonds outstanding. The IDR bonds
outstanding are payable serially through 1996. At December 31,
1995, this provision required securities with a total market
value of $42,000 to be deposited in the escrow fund.
