Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Funds were in compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of April 28, 2000 and from September 30, 1999 through April 28, 2000, with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Funds.

Management is responsible for the Funds' compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Funds' compliance based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds' compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of April 28, 2000, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from September 30, 1999 (the date of our last examination), through April 28, 2000: Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form, at, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, the Depository Trust Company, the Participatory Trust Company, and Bankers Trust Company; Confirmation of all securities out for transfer with brokers or alternative procedures; Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Funds and the Custodian, PNC Bank, National Association; Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks and agreement of underlying collateral with the custodian records; and Agreement of twelve security purchases and twelve security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the Funds to trade confirmations or alternative procedures. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds' compliance with specified requirements. In our opinion, management's assertion that the Warburg Fund, Inc., was in compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of April 28, 2000 with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.
