Act of 1940 as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2008, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from August 28, 2008 (the date of our last examination) through September 30, 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 were none |
|
· |
Vouching of proceeds of security sales since the date of our last report, which there were none |
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 September 30, 2008 with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Company is fairly stated in all material respects.
