PMD INVESTMENT COMPANY
Financial Statements for the
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 
and Independent Accountants' Review Report

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 schedule of investments, as of June 30, 
1997, 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 made for the purpose of expressing the limited assurance 
described in the preceding paragraph concerning the financial statements 
taken as a whole.  The additional information in the supplementary 
information-selected per share data and ratios included in footnote E for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, 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 inquiry and
analytical procedures applied in the review of the basic financial statements
and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made 
thereto in order for such information to be in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles when considered in relation to the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards, the statement of assets and liabilities of PMD Investment Company,
including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 1996 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, 1996; 
and in our report dated January 20, 1997, 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, 1996 and the per share data and ratios for 
each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 1996 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, 1997

(Unaudited - See Independent Accountants' Review Report)

A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, 1997 reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of 
management, necessary to fairly present statements of operations and changes
in net assets for the six month period presented.

Investment Securities - Investments in securities are valued at fair value as
determined by the Company's investment advisor at June 30, 1997.

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 premium 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 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 on the first $10,000,000 of the net asset 
value and .15 percent of the net asset value in excess of $10,000,000, with a
minimum fee of $10,000 per year.  Fees for the services of each of the 
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 or directors of the
Company.  The investment advisor changed effective june 17, 1997 from Mentor
Investment Group to First National Bank of Omaha.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and 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, 1997, 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 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 and real estate mortgages 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 $5,113,758 as of December 31, 1996, 
the most recent date for which such information is available.
