EXHIBIT A:
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
Needham Growth Fund:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Needham Growth Fund for the year ended
December 31, 1999, we considered its internal control,
including control activities for safeguarding securities,
in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-
SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control.
The management of Needham Growth Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments
by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. Generally,
controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the
entity's objective of preparing financial statements for
external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Those
controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control,
error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projection of any evaluation of internal control to
future periods is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation may
deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not
necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that
might be material weaknesses under standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which
the design or operation of one or more of the internal
control components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that misstatements caused by error or
fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to
the financial statements being audited may occur and not
be detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions.
However, we noted no matters involving internal control
and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above as of December 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and
use of management, the Board of Directors of Needham
Growth Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
