To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Chesapeake Investors, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Chesapeake
Investors, 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 internal control.
The management of Chesapeake Investors, 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 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 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
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 of Chesapeake Investors, Inc., and the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
