The Shareholders and Board of Directors
of Fairport Midwest Growth Fund, Fairport Growth
and Income Fund and Fairport Government
Securities Fund of the Fairport Funds
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Fairport
Midwest Growth Fund, Fairport Growth and Income Fund, and Fairport
Government Securities Fund of the Fairport Funds (the "Funds") for the year
ended October 31, 1996, we considered the Funds' internal control structure,
including procedures 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 the internal control structure.
The management of Fairport Midwest Growth Fund, Fairport Growth & Income
Fund, and Fairport Government Securities Fund of the Fairport Funds is
responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting
control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgements 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 safeguarded against
loss from unauthorized use of 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 the inherent limitations in any system of internal control
structure, errors or irregularities may occur and may 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 of 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 October 31, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the use of management and the Securities
Exchange Commission.
