NRM Investment Company (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company.  The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize and distribute income and gains on a current basis.  Its secondary objective is preservation of capital.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
 
Valuation of Investments
 
Investments in securities (other than debt securities maturing in 60 days or less) traded in the over-the-counter market, and listed securities for which no sale was reported on the last business day of the year, are valued based on prices furnished by a pricing service.  This service determines the valuations using a matrix pricing system based on common bond features such as coupon rate, quality and expected maturity dates.  Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by the investment advisor under the supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors.  Investments in securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the closing prices.  Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
 
 
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).  Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on the basis of identified cost for both financial and federal income tax purposes.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis for both financial and income tax reporting. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.  In computing investment income, the Fund amortizes premiums over the life of the security, unless said premium is in excess of any call price, in which case the excess is amortized to the earliest call date.  Discounts are accreted over the life of the security.
 
 
Transactions with Shareholders
 
Fund shares are sold and redeemed at the net asset value.  Transactions of these shares are recorded on the trade date.  Dividends and distributions are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.
 
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and realized net gain from investment transactions to its shareholders and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
February 29, 2008
 
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
 
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.
 
Note 2 - Investment Advisor and Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
The Fund has an investment advisory agreement which provides that the Fund pays to the investment advisor, as compensation for services provided and expenses assumed, a fee at the annual rate of .30% of the Fund’s net asset value.  The chief executive officer of the investment advisor is on the Board of Directors of the Fund.  Furthermore, the Fund’s president and chairman of the Board owns 78.1% of the Fund’s outstanding shares as of February 29, 2008.
 
Note 3 - Cost, Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
 
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term investments, aggregated $917,457 and $889,047, respectively, during the period ended February 29, 2008.
 
At February 29, 2008, the cost of investment securities owned is the same for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.  Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities is $257,696 (aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $61,711, less aggregate unrealized depreciation of $319,407).
 
Note 4 - Environmental Liability
 
The Fund has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in remedial activities related to an environmental matter. EPA thereafter asserted a cost-recovery and future cleanup claim against selected PRP’s.
 
EPA’s claim was divided into two parts: the first relates to groundwater contamination (OU-1), and the second (OU-2) relates to drummed waste, soil cleanup, and past costs incurred by the EPA.

Note 4 - Environmental Liability (Continued)
 
The Fund has joined a group (OU-1 Group) of defendants to share the costs of the OU-1 matter and has declined to join a group (OU-2 Group) to share the costs of the OU-2 matter as the Fund believed its linkage to this portion of the claim to be weak.
 
The Fund had accrued $150,000 at August 31, 2007 and this amount remains as of February 29, 2008 as its estimate of the remaining commitment to the OU-1 Group.  The Fund’s share of the costs is subject to reallocation after all available evidence is analyzed.
 
The OU-2 Group has begun a cost recovery suit against the Fund and others for the OU-1 and OU-2 work as well as past EPA costs.  The total amounts asserted to date for the OU-1 and OU-2 matters are $3,700,000 and $2,500,000 respectively; in addition OU-2 includes past EPA costs of $7,500,000.  There will be ongoing OU-1 operation and maintenance expenses for cleaning ground water for the indefinite future and for indefinite amounts. The OU-2 Group will seek cost recovery and contribution for the sums its members advanced plus interest from the date of advancement. Of the amounts the Fund has already paid or will pay because of its OU-1 contract commitment, it will seek contribution or reimbursement from the other defendants, with interest.
 
In April 2007, Counsel for the Fund advised that, with minor exceptions, lengthy discovery proceedings have been concluded, the developed facts have been analyzed, and that all but six of the defendant PRP’s have settled. The Fund remains one of the six non-settling defendantshas begun settlement negotiations. After considering the facts and plaintiffs’ contentions, Counsel believes that a payment by the Fund either by settlement or by recovery following further litigation is probable and that, in addition to the OU-1 costs the Fund has already incurred, there will be additional exposure estimated to be between $750,000 and $1,500,000 and that $1,000,000 is the present best estimate of the Fund’s liability. This amount has been charged to the Fund in April 2007. There has been no changes to this estimate as of February 29, 2008.
 
In addition, the EPA has made an inquiry about another site which may lead to a future claim and whose materiality is unknown. No amounts have been accrued for any claim associated with this inquiry.

Note 7 – New Accounting Pronouncements
 
                    In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Statement defines fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participation assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied.

Management is evaluating the application of the Statement to the Fund, and is not in a position at this time to evaluate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.
