[LETTERHEAD OF KPMG PEAT MARWICK LLP]
Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors of
LifeUSA Funds, Inc. and
Securities and Exchange Commission:
We have examined management's assertion about LifeUSA Aggressive Growth
Portfolio, LifeUSA Growth Portfolio, LifeUSA Global Portfolio, LifeUSA Balanced
Portfolio, LifeUSA Current Income Portfolio, and LifeUSA Principal Preservation
Portfolio, portfolios within LifeUSA Funds, Inc. (collectively, "the Funds")
compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as of December 31, 1997, included in the
accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions
of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Management is responsible for the Funds'
compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertion about the Funds' compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds' compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests
performed as of December 31, 1997, and with respect to agreement of security
purchases and sales, for the period from November 28, 1997 (the date of our last
examination) through December 31, 1997:
o Verification of all securities (shares of the IAI Mutual Funds) held at
Investment Advisers, Inc. (the Transfer Agent) in book entry form through
examination of the Transfer Agent's books and records;
o Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the
Funds; and
o Agreement of 10 security purchases and 10 security sales or maturities
since November 28, 1997 (the date of our last examination) from the books and
records of the Funds to trade confirmations.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds'
compliance with the specified requirements.
<PAGE>
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds were in compliance
with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as of December 31, 1997, with respect to securities
reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in all
material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management of
LifeUSA Funds, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be
used for any other purpose.
