INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT PURSUANT TO RULE 17f-2
UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
Board of Directors
Globus Growth Group, Inc.
New York, New York
We have examined the investment accounts shown by the books and records of
Globus Growth Group, Inc. for the period from the date of our last similar
examination on November 19, 1997 to February 28, 1998. It is understood that
this report is solely for the use of management and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and should not be used for any other purpose.
Securities owned as of the close of business on February 28, 1998 shown by the
books and records audited by us, which we counted and inspected, were located in
the vault of Citibank, 717 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10010,
except for securities as to which we obtained confirmation from the custodians.
Because the above procedures do not constitute an audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, we do not express an opinion on the
investment accounts referred to above. In connection with the procedures
referred to above, no matters came to our attention that caused us to believe
that the investment accounts should be adjusted. Had we performed additional
procedures or had we audited the financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, matters might have come to our attention
that would have been reported to you. This report relates only to the investment
accounts referred to above and does not extend to any financial statements of
Globus Growth Group, Inc., taken as a whole.
