Financial Statements for the

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 (the Company), including the schedule of investments, as of
June 30, 1999, 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, 1999, 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, 1998, 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 five years in the period ended December 31, 1998; and in our report dated
January 26, 1999, 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, 1998 and the per share data and ratios for each of the five years
in the period ended December 31, 1998 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, 1999
(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, 1999 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, 1999.

   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.

   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.

   Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
   year financial statements to be consistent with the June 30, 1999
   presentation.

B. REDEMPTION OF SHARES

   At June 30, 1999, 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 30
   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 $6,682,994 as of February 1, 1999, the most recent date for
   which such information is available.

D. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

   The following summarizes the approximate value of securities transactions for
   the periods indicated.
