INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Flag Investors Short-Intermediate Income Fund, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Flag
Investors Short-Intermediate Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the year ended
December 31, 1998 (on which we have issued our report dated February 2, 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, and not to provide assurance on the Fund's
internal control.
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 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 any internal control, misstatements due
to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that
the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the Fund's 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 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 the Fund's 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 management,
the Board of Directors of Flag Investors Short-Intermediate Income Fund, Inc.,
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
