INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Shareholders and
  Board of Directors
PMD Investment Company
Omaha, Nebraska


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of PMD
Investment Company, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31,
1999, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the selected per share data and ratios for each of the five years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and per share data and ratios
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and per share data and ratios
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data
and ratios are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of PMD Investment Company as of December 31, 1999, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the selected per share data and
ratios for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

PMD INVESTMENT COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

Investment Securities - Investments in securities are valued at fair value as
determined by the Company's investment advisor at December 31, 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.

Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

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
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 amounts in the prior years' financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation.

B. REDEMPTION OF SHARES

At December 31, 1999, the Company had authorized 20,000,000 shares of $.50 par
value common stock.



                                       7
<PAGE>

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 $5,652,000 as
of December 31, 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.
