REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees of
The Marquis Funds:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of the Marquis Funds for the year ended September 30, 1997, 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, not to provide assurance on internal control.
The management of the Marquis Funds 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 control activities. Generally,
control activities 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 control activities include the safeguarding of assets
against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of
any evaluation of 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 internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in 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 any specific internal control
components 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 internal control, including control activities
for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of September 30, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management, the Board of Trustees, and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and should not be used for any other purpose.
