Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Accounting Control
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Kopp Funds, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Kopp
Emerging Growth Fund (a portfolio within Kopp Funds, Inc.) for the year
ended September 30, 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 the internal control.
The management of Kopp Funds, Inc. 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, errors or
irregularities 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 internal control would not necessarily disclose
all matters in the 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 errors or irregularities 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 internal control and its operation,
including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Board of Directors, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
