To the Board of Directors of
Kenilworth Fund, Inc.
I have examined the investment accounts shown by the books and
records of the Kenilworth Fund, Inc. for the period from December
17, 1999 through July 18, 2000. My examination was made without
prior notice to the Fund. It is understood that this report is
solely for the use of management and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and should not be used for any other purpose.
Securities owned as of the close of business on July 18, 2000
shown by the books and records audited by me, which I counted and
inspected, were located in the vault of the National Safe Deposit
Box Company, One First National Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60603,
except for securities purchased but not received on that date and
other securities in transit, as to which I obtained confirmation
from the appropriate broker.
Because the above procedures do not constitute an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, I do not
express an opinion on the investment accounts referred to above.
In connection with the procedures referred to above, no matters
came to my attention that caused me to believe that the specified
accounts should be adjusted. Had I performed additional
procedures or had I audited the financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, matters
might have come to my attention that would have been reported to
you. This report refers only to the investments specified above
and does not extend to any financial statements of Kenilworth
Fund, Inc. taken as a whole.
