EXHIBIT 77B:  Accountant's Report on Internal Control

                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
Security Municipal Bond Fund

In planning and  performing  our audit of the  financial  statements of Security
Municipal  Bond Fund  (the  Fund)  for the year  ended  December  31,  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
requirement of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on the 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 internal control,  errors 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 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 specific internal control  components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that 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  internal  control  and its
operation,  including controls for safeguarding securities,  that we consider to
be material weaknesses as defined above at December 31, 1999.

This  report is  intended  solely  for the  information  and use of the Board of
Directors and management of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission,
and is not  intended to be and,  should not be, used by anyone  other than these
specified parties.
