RE: Presidio Funds; File Nos. 333-122412 and 811-21707
Dear Mr. Eskildsen:
On March 4, 2008, you provided comments on an annual report filed on Form N-CSR by Presidio Funds (the “Registrant”) on July 3, 2007. Please find below the Registrant's responses to your comments. For your convenience, I have summarized your comments.
1.
Comment. On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, "Net Assets" and "Net Assets, for 4,328,177 Shares Outstanding" do not reconcile. Please explain.
Response. The entry for "Paid in Capital" is incorrect. The correct number is $52,077,163, rather than $52,044,163. When the correct number is added to the other components of the Registrant's nets assets, both "Net Assets" and "Net Assets, for 4,328,177 Shares Outstanding" total $63,696,288.
1.
Comment. The Statement of Operations show net investment losses of $221,810. Note 2 to the Registrant's financial statements discloses that "[i]n accordance with SOP - 93-2, the Fund has recorded a reclassification in the capital account. As of April 30, 2007, the Fund has recorded a permanent book/tax difference of $142,131 from net investment loss to paid-in-capital." Please explain why only $142,131 of net investment losses was reclassified.
Response. The reclassification of the $142,131 does not equal the net investment loss of $221,810 because for tax purposes the Registrant was able to use net short-term gains to reduce the loss.
2.
Comment. Please provide a capital account rollforward for the period April 30, 2006 through April 30, 2007.
Response. A copy of the Registrant's capital account rollforward is attached to this letter.

| (A) | | ROC SOP adjustment is the permanent difference between book and tax namely for net | |
| Per SOP 93-2 | | operating losses that are not able to be carried forward. These are netted with paid in | |
| | | capital for financial statement purposes. | |
| | | Thus for 2007 the net investment loss is reduced by short term gains in excess of long term | |
| | | gains on a tax basis. | |
| | | 2006 had a capital loss carryover that is carried forward as a short term loss and reduces | |
| | | the current short term gains on a tax basis ( adjusted for wash sales). | |
| | | The current total book gains are reduced by the tax short term gains to arrive at the | |
| | | undistributed gains on the financial statements. | |
