REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS. In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Brazilian Investment Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") at December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period June 4, 1991 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1991, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS. To the partners of Liberty Washington, LP In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Liberty Washington, LP for the year ended December 31, 200_____, we considered its internal control to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and not to provide assurance on internal control. Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control 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 one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by errors or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the consolidated 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 internal control and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the partners of Liberty Washington, LP, management, and others within the organization and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. We would be pleased to discuss the above matters or to respond to any questions, at your convenience.
