Warburg Pincus Balanced Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report -- October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Common Class shares of
Warburg Pincus Balanced Fund had a return of 13.61%, vs. returns of 12.55% for
the Lipper Balanced Funds Index, 25.65% for the S&P 500 Index and 0.98% for the
Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index. Note: Effective
June 16, 1999, Brian S. Posner no longer serves as Co-Portfolio Manager of the
Fund. Scott T. Lewis, M. Anthony E. van Daalen and Charles Van Vleet continue to
serve as Co-Portfolio Managers.
Manager Commentary
The reporting period was, in general, a strong one for stocks and a
lackluster one for bonds, reflecting investors' vastly increased tolerance for
risk against an improving global economic and financial backdrop. This sentiment
supported stocks broadly, with most major domestic equity indexes posting
impressive gains for the period (growth-oriented stocks, such as technology
stocks, were especially buoyant). Most bond indexes, on the other hand, had slim
gains at best (though high-yield bonds performed relatively well), hampered by
investors' decreased emphasis on safety and stability. Bonds were also
restrained by fears that the Federal Reserve, which raised interest rates in
June and August, would take rates yet higher (the Fed in fact raised rates again
in November), given the Fed's continued stated concerns over potential
inflation. To be sure, inflation and interest-rate worries had an impact on the
stock market, in the form of elevated market volatility, especially late in the
period.
Set against this backdrop, the Fund had a solid return in absolute terms,
and modestly outperformed its Lipper benchmark. The Fund's performance was
consistent with our desire to provide competitive returns while limiting overall
portfolio volatility. We maintained an asset allocation of roughly 60% stocks
and 40% bonds through the period, a relatively conservative mix but one that we
continued to view as appropriate, given our goals.
With respect to the Fund's equity component, we remained well-diversified
in terms of sector and industry, seeing little incentive to aggressively
overweight particular areas. We did, however, maintain a modest overweighting in
financial-services stocks (including bank stocks), reflecting our generally
favorable view of these stocks' valuations and their underlying companies'
earnings prospects. Other noteworthy weightings for the fund at the end of the
period included the telecommunications and equipment, capital-equipment and
energy sectors.

Annual Investment Adviser's Report -- October 31, 1999 (cont'd)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our bond holdings continued to consist primarily of high-quality,
intermediate-term securities, since we view the Fund's fixed-income component
mostly as a provider of income and stability, rather than as a potential source
of capital appreciation. We maintained a bias here in favor of mortgage-backed
bonds, which we generally deemed to be attractive from a risk-adjusted-yield
perspective.
Going forward, we plan to maintain a relatively conservative asset
allocation, barring extraordinary market conditions, while striving to add value
to the portfolio via careful stock selection. Our specific equity focus will
remain on mid- and large-capitalization stocks that we believe have the best
expected returns, based on their earnings prospects and current valuations.
Within the Fund's bond component, our emphasis will remain on high-quality,
intermediate-term issues that have what we deem to be attractive risk-adjusted
yields.

Warburg Pincus Growth & Income Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report -- October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999 the Common Class shares of Warburg
Pincus Growth & Income Fund had a return of 15.77%, vs. a return of 25.65% for
the S&P 500 Index. Note: Effective June 16, 1999, Stacy Dutton serves as
Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund. Brian S. Posner, formerly Portfolio Manager,
continued to serve as Co-Portfolio Manager through the period, but will be
replaced by Scott T. Lewis effective December 31, 1999.
Manager Commentary
The U.S. stock market saw impressive performance for the 12 months, with
almost all major equity indexes advancing significantly. A positive tone was set
early on. Most of the world's central banks lowered interest rates late in 1998,
stabilizing global financial markets and placing the global economy on surer
footing. This encouraged investors to embrace risk, a sentiment that benefited
stocks generally and growth stocks (especially aggressive-growth stocks) in
particular. Stocks were, however, highly, and increasingly, volatile. The market
was also subjected to some dramatic shifts in investor sentiment with respect to
"style." For example, economically-sensitive stocks had a strong surge in April,
but then surrendered market leadership to growth stocks, partly on worries that
rising interest rates could hamper economic growth.
Against this backdrop, the Fund had positive performance, yet trailed its
benchmark. Hindering the Fund's relative return was the market's ultimate
preference for growth stocks, as we continued to adhere to a value-based
stock-selection approach. That notwithstanding, we believe our efforts to
identify undervalued stocks stand to generate attractive longer-term returns in
both absolute and relative terms.
We made few noteworthy changes to the Fund during the period in terms of
sector emphasis, remaining broadly diversified. We did, however, increase our
exposure to certain economically-sensitive industries, based on our view that
the global economy will, in fact, continue to grow, if not accelerate. We
significantly increased our exposure to the banking area, reflecting our
favorable view of the group's valuations, combined with these companies'
improving fundamentals. We added a number of bank stocks, focusing on regional
companies whose loan portfolios include commercial as well as residential loans.
We also raised our weighting in the energy sector. Our noteworthy moves
here included adding to our position in integrated multinational oil companies,
focusing on those that stand to realize significant costs savings over

time. In the oil-services area, our exposure at the end of period consisted of
two drilling companies that we believe have good longer-term prospects. In
general, fundamentals here are beginning to improve after 18 months of very
difficult operating conditions.
Other notable sector weightings for the Fund continued to include capital
equipment, a weighting we raised during the period, focusing on companies with
the potential for a significant improvement in cash flows. We also had a
noteworthy weighting in the retail sector, where companies are generally
benefiting from ongoing improvements in inventory management and where stocks
are, on the whole, reasonably priced.
We modestly lowered our exposure to technology companies during the period,
eliminating a few positions based on valuation considerations. Elsewhere, we
remained underweighted in the health-care and pharmaceutical sectors, though we
added a few drug stocks late in the period, and could increase our overall
exposure to health care further during the next few months. Health-care stocks
have struggled over the past year, hampered by regulatory uncertainties, and we
believe potentially lucrative investment opportunities exist in specific stocks.
Our approach to the group will remain highly selective.
Looking ahead, we believe that there will remain a number of attractive
investment opportunities, the U.S. equity market's generally elevated valuations
notwithstanding. As ever, we will continue to strive to identify reasonably
valued stocks of companies with strong revenue and earnings growth, good free
cash flow and improving financial returns.

Warburg Pincus Capital Appreciation Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report -- October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Common Class shares of
Warburg Pincus Capital Appreciation Fund had a return of 38.28%, vs. a return of
25.65% for the S&P 500 Index.
The reporting period was a positive one for the U.S. stock market,
supported by an improving global economy and optimism over corporate earnings.
Stocks were subjected to frequent bouts of volatility, however, particularly
late in the period, reflecting worries that a strong U.S. economy could put
upward pressure on inflation and/or interest rates. Indeed, the Federal Reserve
raised interest rates in June and August as a preemptive strike against
inflation, and left the door open for at least one more rate hike in the
not-too-distant future (the Fed in fact raised rates again shortly after the
close of the period).
Against this backdrop, the Fund had a solid gain, both in absolute terms
and compared to that of its benchmark. The Fund's return was driven by good
showings from a number of its holdings as well as by its sector exposure. Most
notably, the Fund had sizable weightings in the technology and communications
areas, which paced the market's continued advance. The Fund also benefited from
being underweighted in the financial segment, which had a good showing on an
absolute basis yet which lagged the broader market due partly to interest-rate
uncertainties.
We made no major change to the Fund during the period in terms of general
strategy. We remained focused on growth-oriented, as opposed to cyclical, or
economically-sensitive, sectors of the market. The improving global economy
notwithstanding, we generally continued to view growth stocks as the most
compelling, given such factors as rapid technological innovation and ongoing
global deregulation.
In terms of sector and industry emphasis, we had a large weighting in the
communications area, broadly defined, one we increased over the course of the 12
months. Our favorable view on the group's collective prospects is based on a
confluence of factors, not the least of which are a rapidly expanding Internet
and the growing popularity of wireless communications. Within the communications
& media sector, our holdings included cable companies offering ultrafast, or
"broadband," Internet access. These companies are competing aggressively with
telephone companies for demand for high-speed connectivity, a potentially
explosive-growth area. Other media-type holdings included cable "content"
companies as well as radio broadcasters.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another noteworthy sector weighting for the Fund was telecommunications &
equipment, where we held a mix of service operators and equipment/infrastructure
providers. Noteworthy holdings included the leading provider of networking
equipment (e.g., switching and routing devices) and a designer, manufacturer and
operator of digital wireless products and services.
We also had significant exposure to the technology area, a weighting we
raised during the period. We added a number of electronics stocks that we deemed
to be attractive against an improving supply/demand backdrop for semiconductors
and other electronic devices. In the computer sector, our holdings continued to
include manufacturers of networking hardware and software products used by
Internet service providers and companies building electronic-commerce
infrastructures.
Elsewhere of note, we were modestly underweighted in the pharmaceutical
sector at the end of the period, reflecting our concerns regarding the near-term
regulatory backdrop for these stocks (though we believe specific drug stocks
have solid longer-term prospects). We were also underweighted in the financial
area, in general because we saw more-compelling growth stories in other sectors.
Our continued focus on growth stocks notwithstanding, we modestly increased
our exposure to certain economically-sensitive areas during the period. Most
specifically, we added a few energy stocks late in the period, focusing on
companies that stand to benefit from higher demand for their products and
services, as opposed to having their fortunes depend primarily on rising energy
prices.
Looking ahead to 2000, we believe the backdrop for stocks broadly will
remain supportive, given a likely continued favorable combination of global
economic growth and low inflation. We also believe, however, that careful stock
selection will remain paramount, and our efforts will remain devoted to
identifying those stocks we deem to have the best longer-term growth potential.

Warburg Pincus Health Sciences Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report -- October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Common Class shares of
Warburg Pincus Health Sciences Fund had a return of 3.54%, vs. returns of 14.55%
and 25.65%, respectively, for the Lipper Health/Biotechnology Funds Index and
the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's since-inception (on December 31, 1996) average
annual total return through October 31, 1999 was 17.63%, vs. same-period returns
of 16.19% and 25.90%, respectively, for the Lipper and S&P 500 indexes. Note:
Effective November 1, 1999, Peter T. Wen serves as Co-Portfolio Manager of the
Fund. Susan L. Black, formerly the Fund's Portfolio Manager, continues to serve
as Co-Portfolio Manager.
Manager Commentary
The U.S. stock market staged a healthy rally during the period, buoyed by
optimism over the economy and an easing of the global financial crisis that had
weighed on stocks in the months prior to the start of the period. Health-care
stocks, however, had relatively lackluster performance. This was partly due to
investors' less-defensive mindset during the period: many investors had taken
refuge in certain health-care stocks (most specifically, those of large
pharmaceutical companies) last summer, when fears of a global recession
increased the appeal of companies selling "high priority" products. It also
reflected regulatory worries (e.g., over Medicare reform), which restrained the
group in general and which had a particularly negative impact on certain
health-care provider and managed-care stocks. One area of strength for the group
during the period was biotechnology, with a number of these stocks advancing
impressively.
Against this backdrop, the Fund had only a modest gain. The Fund trailed
its Lipper benchmark by a significant margin, in large part due to its
relatively limited exposure to biotechnology stocks over the course of the
period (we generally continued to view these stocks as expensive from a
risk-vs.-reward perspective). The Fund was also hindered by weakness in certain
of its holdings, most specifically some of its smaller-cap holdings and its
retail-drug stocks.
In terms of general strategy, we maintained a relatively diversified
portfolio in terms of both sector and market-cap exposure. This reflected our
ongoing desire to avoid concentrating too heavily on any one area within an
industry that is highly innovative, competitive and ever-changing (and one where
regulatory changes or expectations thereof can greatly benefit certain
health-care companies while hampering others). The Fund's disappointing
performance for the 12 months notwithstanding, we believe such an
10
<PAGE>
Warburg Pincus Health Sciences Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report -- October 31, 1999 (cont'd)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
approach stands to benefit investors over time in both absolute and relative
terms.
With regard to sector exposure, the Fund's primary area of concentration
remained large-cap pharmaceutical stocks, a number of which we continued to view
favorably. Our focus here remained on companies with broad product lines and
substantial commitments to research and development.
We raised our weighting in managed-care companies during the period,
reflecting our more-favorable outlook on these companies' pricing power.
Specific companies here are planning to raise their premiums by as much as 10%
next year, in contrast to the past few years, when much-more modest increases
were the norm. Given the strength of the economy, and falling unemployment, we
believe that employers will be mostly amenable to accepting higher premiums, in
order to maintain employee satisfaction.
Elsewhere, we had positions in a variety of niche-type health-care
companies. These included the nation's leading provider of blood-testing
services, a biotechnology company specializing in the analysis of genetic data
and a company that provides technology for laser-based vision correction.
Looking to the next year and over the longer term, we continue to have a
positive outlook on health care as an asset class. These stocks in general stand
to benefit from a very favorable demographic trend, specifically a rapidly
maturing (and increasingly wealthy) population. As the baby boom generation some
80 million strong continues to age, expenditures on existing health-care
products and services should continue to rise, in some areas significantly. In
addition, the industry continues to strive to develop new products (including
treatments for currently untreatable diseases), which stands to raise
health-care demand beyond the demand attributable to demographics alone. Set
within this environment, we will continue to strive to identify stocks we with
the best long-term prospects.
Susan L. Black
Portfolio Manager
Since the fund focuses its investments on companies involved in the health
sciences, an investment in the fund may involve a greater degree of risk than an
investment in other mutual funds that seek capital appreciation by investing in
a broader mix of issuers.

Warburg Pincus Domestic Equity Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The Warburg Pincus Balanced Fund (the "Balanced Fund"), Warburg Pincus
Growth & Income Fund (the "Growth & Income Fund"), Warburg Pincus Capital
Appreciation Fund (the "Capital Appreciation Fund"), and the Warburg Pincus
Health Sciences Fund (the "Health Sciences Fund") are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as diversified,
open-end management investment companies (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the
"Funds").
Investment objectives for each fund are as follows: the Balanced Fund seeks
maximum total return through a combination of long-term growth of capital, and
current income consistent with preservation of capital; the Growth & Income Fund
seeks long-term growth of capital, income and a reasonable current return; the
Capital Appreciation Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and the Health
Sciences Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in non-publicly traded
securities. Non-publicly traded securities may be less liquid than publicly
traded securities, and they may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time
and the price the Fund would like. In addition, the lack of an active market may
make it difficult to obtain an accurate price for a Fund security.
Each Fund (except the Health Sciences Fund) offers two classes of shares,
one class being referred to as the Common Class shares and one class being
referred to as Advisor Class shares. Common and Advisor Class shares in each
Fund represent an equal pro rata interest in such Fund, except that they bear
different expenses which reflect the difference in the range of services
provided to them. Common Class shares for the Balanced Fund and the Health
Sciences Fund bear expenses paid pursuant to a shareholder servicing and
distribution plan at an annual rate not to exceed .25% of the average daily net
asset value of each Fund's Common Class share. Advisor Class shares for each
Fund bear expenses paid pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by each Fund at
an annual rate not to exceed .75% of the average daily net asset value of each
Fund's Advisor Class shares. Advisor Class shares are currently bearing expenses
of .50% of average daily net assets.
The net asset value of each Fund is determined daily as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Each Fund's investments are
valued at market value, which is generally determined using the last reported
sales price. If no sales are reported, investments are generally valued at the
mean between the last reported bid and asked price. In the absence of market
quotations, investments are generally valued at fair value as determined by or
under the direction of the Fund's Board. Short-term investments that mature in
60 days or less are valued on the basis of
38

amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless the Board determines
that using this method would not reflect an investment's value.
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current
prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate
at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in
the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on
the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of
operations for the current period. The Funds do not isolate that portion of
realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which are due to
changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to changes in
market prices of equity securities. The Funds isolate that portion of realized
gains and losses on investments in debt securities which are due to changes in
the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to changes in market prices of
debt securities.
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses,
principally distribution and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees)
and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class
of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares.
Effective November 1, 1998, class-specific expenses no longer include transfer
agent fees; accordingly these fees will be allocated proportionately based upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares. The cost of investments sold
is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial
reporting and income tax purposes.
Dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if
any, are declared and paid at least annually (except with respect to the Growth
& Income Fund and the Balanced Fund for which dividends, if any, are paid
quarterly). However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be
reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Income
and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income
tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
No provision is made for federal taxes as it is each Fund's intention to
continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated
investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

amended ("the Code"), and make the requisite distributions to its shareholders
which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, each Fund, along with other Funds advised by Credit Suisse Asset
Management LLC, ("CSAM LLC"), can transfer uninvested cash balances to a pooled
cash account, which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S.
government securities. Securities, pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements, are held by the Funds' custodian bank until the agreements mature.
Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to
cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or
bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, retention of the collateral may
be subject to legal proceedings. At October 31, 1999 the Funds had no
investments in repurchase agreements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
The Funds have an arrangement with their transfer agent whereby interest
earned on uninvested cash balances was used to offset a portion of their
transfer agent expense. For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Funds received
credits or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:
Fund Amount
---- -------
Balanced $ 651
Growth & Income 14,336
Capital Appreciation 16,234

2. Investment Adviser, Co-Administrators and Distributor
On July 6, 1999, CSAM LLC became each Funds' investment adviser as a result
of the previously announced acquisition of Warburg Pincus Asset Management, Inc.
("Warburg Pincus") by Credit Suisse Group ("Credit Suisse"). Warburg Pincus was
combined with CSAM LLC, which is an indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of
Credit Suisse. For its investment advisory services, CSAM LLC receives the
following fees based on each Fund's average daily net assets:

CFSI as co-administrator to each Fund. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. ("PNC"), also serves as each Fund's
co-administrator. For administrative services, CSAM LLC currently receives a fee
calculated at an annual rate of .10% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

CSAMSI serves as each Fund's distributor. No compensation is paid by the
Common Class shares of Capital Appreciation Fund or the Growth & Income Fund to
CSAMSI for distribution services. Provident Distributors, Inc. will become each
Fund's distributor effective January 3, 2000. For its selling services, CSAMSI
receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of .25% of the average daily net
assets of the Common Shares of the Balanced Fund and the Health Sciences Fund
pursuant to a shareholder servicing and distribution plan adopted by each Fund
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. For its shareholder servicing and
distribution services, CSAMSI receives a fee at an annual rate of .50%, of the
average daily net assets of each Funds' Advisor Shares pursuant to a

Company as operations agent, Bank of Nova Scotia as syndication agent as well as
certain other lenders, for temporary or emergency purposes primarily relating to
unanticipated fund share redemptions. Under the terms of the Credit Facility,
the Funds with access to the Credit Facility pay an aggregate commitment fee at
a rate of .075% per annum on the average daily balance of the Credit Facility
that is undisbursed and uncanceled during the preceding quarter allocated among
the participating funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards
of the various Funds. In addition, the participating Funds will pay interest on
borrowing at the Federal Funds rate plus .50%. At October 31, 1999 and during
the year ended October 31, 1999, none of these Funds had borrowings under the
Credit Facility.
4. Investments in Securities
For the year ended October 31, 1999, purchases and sales of investment

5. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Each Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for the purchase or
sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may
arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated
movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Each
Fund will enter into forward contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward
currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying
currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes
as unrealized until the contract settlement date or the date on which an
offsetting position is entered into. At October 31, 1999, there were no open
forward foreign currency contracts.
6. Futures Contracts
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its
investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, a
Fund is required to make a deposit of an initial margin with its custodian in a
segregated account. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by
a Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or
losses until the contracts are closed. When the contract is closed, a Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds
from (or cost of) the closing transactions and a Fund's basis in the contract.
Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that a change
in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of
the underlying instruments. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for
futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability
to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a
futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original
margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. At October 31, 1999,
there were no open futures contracts for any of the Funds.
7. Capital Share Transactions
The Balanced Fund, the Growth & Income Fund and the Health Sciences Fund
are each authorized to issue three billion full and fractional shares of capital
stock, $.001 par value per share, of which one billion shares of each Fund (two
billion shares for the Balanced Fund and the Growth & Income Fund) are
designated as the Advisor Class shares. The Capital Appreciation Fund is
authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of
beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share, of which an unlimited number of
shares are classified as the Common Class shares and an unlimited number are
classified as the Advisor Class shares.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Warburg, Pincus Balanced Fund, Inc.;
Warburg, Pincus Growth & Income Fund, Inc.;
Warburg, Pincus Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc. and
Warburg, Pincus Health Sciences Fund, Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Warburg, Pincus Balanced Fund, Inc., Warburg, Pincus Growth & Income Fund, Inc.,
Warburg, Pincus Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc. and Warburg, Pincus Health
Sciences Fund, Inc. (all funds collectively referred to as the "Funds") at
October 31, 1999, and the results of each of their operations for the year then
ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years (or
periods) presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 1999. The second

taxpayers on their U.S. federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction
with Form 1099-DIV and will be mailed in January 2000.
