TITLE SECRETARY-TREASURER
Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
The Primary Income Funds, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of The Primary Income Funds, Inc. (comprising The Primary Income
Fund and The Primary U.S. Government Fund) for the year ended
June 30, 1995, we considered their internal control structure,
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, not to provide assurance on the
internal control structure.
The management of The Primary Income Funds, Inc., is responsible
for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure.
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of internal control structure policies and
procedures. Two of the objectives of an internal control
structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss
from unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and
recorded properly to permit preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control
structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be
detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure 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
structure 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 the internal control structure elements
does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors
or irregularities 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 structure, including
procedures for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of June 30, 1995.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
