Certifying Account On June 13, 2003, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") resigned as the independent accountants for the Jacobs & Company Mutual Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Advisors Series Trust. (the "Company"). On June 13, 2003, the Company retained Tait Weller & Baker CPA's, LLP ("Tait") as the independent accountants for the Funds. The retention of Tait as the independent accountants of the Fund has been approved by the Company's Audit Committee and Board of Trustees. The reports of PwC on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through June 13, 2003, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years. However, PwC issued an internal control report dated August 28, 2002, for inclusion in the Fund's Form N-SAR as of and for the period ending January 31, 2002, identifying certain matters involving control procedures and their operation that, as more fully described in such report, were considered to be material weaknesses. As stated in such internal control report, the weaknesses identified did not affect PwC's report on the fund's financial statements as of and for the period ending January 31, 2003. A letter from PwC follows as Attachment Two. September 12, 2003 Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 Commissioners: We have read the statement made by the Jacobs & Company Mutual Fund a series of Advisors Series Trust. (copy attached) which we understand will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Item 77K of Form N-SAR. We agree with the statements concerning our firm contained therein. Very truly yours, /s/Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP cc: Mr. Douglas Hess Treasurer, Advisors Series Trust. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
