In this paper we consider compound distributions where the counting distribution is a bivariate distribution with the probability function (Pn1,n2)n1,n2≥0 that satisfies a recursion in the form

We present an algorithm for recursive evaluation of the corresponding compound distributions and some examples of distributions in this class.
