REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Winfield Capital Corp.
(A Small Business Investment Company licensed by
the U.S. Small Business Administration):
We have examined the investment accounts shown by the books and records of
Winfield Capital Corp. for the period from the date of our last similar
examination on September 17, 1998 to January 12, 1999. 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 January 12, 1999, shown by the
books and records audited by us, which we counted and inspected, were located in
the vault of Chase Manhattan Bank located at 191 Mamaroneck Avenue, White
Plains, NY 10605.
Because the above procedures do not constitute an audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, we do not express an opinion on the
investment accounts referred to above. In connection with the procedures
referred to above, no matters came to our attention that caused us to believe
that the specified accounts should be adjusted. Had we performed additional
procedures or had we audited the financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, matters might have come to our attention
that would have been reported to you. This report relates only to the
investments specified above and does not extend to any financial statements of
Winfield Capital Corp., taken as a whole.
