To the Shareholders and Board of
Trustees of Brenton Mutual Funds
of The Coventry Group
We have audited the accompanying
statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments,
of Brenton Mutual Funds (comprising,
respectively, Brenton U.S. Government
Money Market Fund, Brenton Intermediate
U.S. Government Securities Fund, and
Brenton Value Equity Fund) as of
March 31, 1998, and the related
statements of operations for the year
then ended, the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods
indicated therein. These financial
statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Funds'
management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements
and financial highlights. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned
as of March 31, 1998, by correspondence
with the custodian and others. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements
and financial highlights referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of each of the
respective portfolios constituting Brenton
Mutual Funds as of March 31, 1998, the
results of their operations for the year
then ended, the changes in their net assets
for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and their financial highlights for
each of the indicated periods, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
