To the Board of Directors of the O.R.I. Growth Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of the O.R.I. Growth Fund (the "Fund") for the period ended
November 30, 1996, we considered the Fund's internal control
structure, including procedures for safeguarding securities, in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purposes 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 internal control structure.
The management of the Fund 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 appropriately 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 specific 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
November 30, 1996.
