PMD INVESTMENT COMPANY

Financial Statements for the
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
Independent Accountants' Review Report

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT


To the Shareholders and
the Board of Directors of
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, 2000,
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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 G for the six months ended June
30, 2000, is presented 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the statement of assets and
liabilities of PMD Investment Company, including the schedule of investments
(not presented herein), as of December 31, 1999, and the related statements of
operations (not presented herein) and changes in net assets for the year then
ended and the additional information included in footnote G for each of the five
years in the period ended December 31, 1999; and in our report dated February 2,
2000, 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,
1999 and the per share data and ratios for each of the five years in the period
ended December 31, 1999 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, 2000
(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, 2000 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, 2000.

     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 .25 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
     America 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, 2000, 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.

     The principal shareholder of the Company died on January 10, 2000. Federal
     estate tax obligations incident to his estate necessitated the redemption
     of 2,206,000 shares of the Company's stock. The shares were redeemed
     effective June 30, 2000 at $4.12 per share. This redemption was paid on
     July 5, 2000.

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 $5,652,000 as of February 1, 2000,
     the most recent date for which such information is available.

D.    PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
