EX-99 5 Ernst & Young LLP Suite 1700 555 California Street San Francisco, CA 94104 Report of Independent Auditors Board of Directors Matthews International Funds In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Matthews International Funds (comprising, respectively, of the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, Matthews Asian Convertible Securities Fund and Matthews Korea Fund) for the year ended August 31, 1997, we considered its internal control structure, including control activities 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 Matthews International Funds is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgements by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or dispositions. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control 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 the 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 August 31, 1997. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Securities and Exchange Commission. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Ernst & Young LLP San Francisco, California October 9, 1997 ~~-----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----~~
