INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Battery Park Funds, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements Battery Park
High Yield Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Battery Park Funds, Inc., for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 (on which we have issued our report dated
November 10, 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, and not to provide assurance
on the Fund's internal control.
The management of the 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 any internal control, misstatements due to
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 the Fund's 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 the
Fund's internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
September 30, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
