INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
THE SHAREHOLDERS AND
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Bradford Funds, Inc.
The Braford Money Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of The Bradford
Funds, Inc., The Braford Money Fund for the year ended December 31, 1997, we
considered its internal control, including procedures 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, and not to provide assurance on the Fund's internal
control structure.
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 stataements for external purposes that
are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principals. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the
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 structure 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 internal control components does not reduce to a a relatively
low level the risk that errors 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
Fund's internal control, including controls for safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31,
1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors of the Bradford Funds, Inc., The Bradford Money Fund, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
