Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors of
 the Warburg Pincus WorldPerks Money Market Fund,
Warburg Pincus WorldPerks Tax Free Money Market Fund,
Warburg Pincus Cash Reserve Fund, and
Warburg Pincus New York Tax Exempt Fund:

We have examined management's assertion, included in the
accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with
Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, about
the Warburg Pincus WorldPerks Money Market Fund, Warburg Pincus
WorldPerks Tax Free Money Market Fund, Warburg Pincus Cash
Reserve Fund, and Warburg Pincus New York Tax Exempt Fund,
portfolios of the Warburg Fund, Inc., (collectively the
"Funds") compliance with the requirements of subsections (b)
and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("the Act") as of September 29, 2000.  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 September 29,
2000, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and
sales, for the period from June 30, 2000 (the date of our last
examination), through September 29, 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 four security purchases and five 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
September 29, 2000 with respect to securities reflected in the
investment account of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material
respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the
Board of Directors, management, and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by
anyone other than these specified parties.
