Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
MACC Private Equities Inc. and subsidiary:
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management
Assertion Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, that MACC Private Equities Inc. (the Company) complied with the
requirements of Subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of August 28, 2008. Management is responsible
for the Company's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance
based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's 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 August 28, 2008, and with respect to agreement of security
purchases and sales, for the period from March 13, 2008 (the date of our last
examination) through August 28, 2008:
Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of Cedar Rapids
Bank and Trust in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the
Company
Confirmation of security purchases since the date of our last report, which
there was one
Vouching of proceeds of five security sales since the date of our last
report
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance
with specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that MACC Private Equities Inc. complied
with the requirements of Subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as of August 28, 2008 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 management and the
board of directors of MACC Private Equities Inc. and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
