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 February 28, 2002, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from September 1, 2001 through February 28, 2002:

  • Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of Deutsche Bank in New York City and London;
  • Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, The Depository Trust Company, CREST, Servicio de Compensacion y Liquidacion (Spain), Necigef (Neitherlands), National Securities Depository Limited (India), Korea Securities Depository, Clearstream Banking AG and CCASS (Hong Kong), Taiwan Securities Central Depository (Taiwan); Reconciliation of the depository's position to custodian's record of the aggregate position for all clients, including the Funds;
  • Confirmation of all securities record-kept at banks with whom the Custodian and the Funds have contracted to provide sub-custodian services, including Banca Commerciale Italiana, Bancomer, S.A., Banco Espirito Santo S.A., Bank of Ireland Securities Services Limited, Bank Austria Creditanstalt AG, Citibank N.A., Citibank Budapest, Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank Germany, Deutsche Bank Spain, Deutsche Bank Hong Kong, Deutsche Bank India, Deutsche Bank Korea, Deutsche Bank London, Deutsche Bank Amsterdam, Deutsche Bank Taiwan, Den Danske Bank Denmark, Den Norske Bank Norway, Euroclear Norway, Fortis Bank Belgium, Hong Kong & Shanghi Bank Ltd. Korea, Hong Kong & Shanghi Bank Ltd. India, Hong Kong & Shanghi Bank Ltd. Taiwan, Merita Nordbanken Group Finland, National Australia Bank Limited, National Nominees Limited, National Bank of Greece, Banque Paribas, Royal Bank of Canada, Sumitomo Bank Limited, Svenska Handelsbanken Sweden, United Overseas Bank Malaysia.
  • Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Funds and the Custodian;
  • Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks and agreement of underlying collateral with Deutsche Bank records.
  • Agreement of a selection of security purchases and a selection of security sales from the books and records of the Company to broker confirmations.

 

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 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

February 28, 2002 with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Company 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.
