                         Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
The Oberweis Funds

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Oberweis
Funds, consisting of the Oberweis Emerging Growth Portfolio, the Oberweis
Micro-Cap Portfolio, and the Oberweis Mid-Cap Portfolio, for the year ended
December 31, 1999, we considered their 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 The Oberweis Funds 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 control. 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 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 of 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 the
internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
December 31, 1999.

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