INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Vestaur Securities Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Vestaur
Securities Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended November 30, 1999 (on which
we have issued our report dated December 27, 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 Company's internal control.
The management of the Company 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, misstatments due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that
the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the Company'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 misstatments 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
Company's internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined
above as of November 30, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors of Vestaur Securities Inc. and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
