To the Shareholders of
Sequoia Fund, Inc.

Dear Shareholder:

Sequoia Fund's results for the fourth quarter of 2002 are shown below with comparable results for the leading market indexes:

To December 31, 2002 Sequoia
Fund		 Dow Jones
Industrials		 Standard &
Poor's 500
Fourth Quarter 1.74% 10.38% 8.44%
1 Year -2.64% -15.10% -22.10%
5 Years (Annualized) 7.83% 2.83% -0.59%
10 Years (Annualized) 15.19% 12.02% 9.34%

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index of the common stocks of 500 major US corporations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an unmanaged, price-weighted index of 30 actively traded blue chip stocks. The performance data quoted represents past performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

As we noted in our recent third quarter 2002 report, the Sequoia Fund had a slightly negative return for the year but did considerably better than the stock market in general. We also noted that we were confident that the intrinsic value of our underlying holdings increased as a result of an increase in economic earning power.

While it is early in the year to make predictions, we believe that the outlook for 2003 also bodes well for the aggregate value of our investments in terms of increasing intrinsic value. However, in the space of a single year, it is totally unpredictable as to how the market will value those earnings. We believe our holdings are currently selling at something of a discount to an amply priced stock market and because of their future prospects in our opinion, they deserve a premium.

This letter is being written February 3rd and you may not actually receive it because of production time and the speed of the U.S. mail until later in the month. The immediate future is perhaps as unpredictable as at any time in which we have written a shareholder letter in the past. It is clear that the reported earnings of American businesses are going through a difficult period for two reasons, a slowing economy adjusting to past overexpansion in many areas and the fact that reported earnings in the past were, in the aggregate, overstated. They remain so but by a lesser degree. Further, no one can predict the near term effects of military conflict and its aftermath. However, a review of the past century, which certainly contained many virtually cataclysmic events, showed that our country's economy weathered many disruptions and we strongly believe that will be true in the future.

During 2002, we had very few changes in our holdings. Volatility however, did provide us with the chance to acquire a position in Mohawk Industries at a price which we believed to offer good value. Mohawk is a very well managed manufacturer of carpet and flooring products and has an excellent distribution system through thousands of small flooring dealers. Because of its distribution expertise and quality of its product, it has a significant share of market. The business has a strong franchise and the kind of cash generating characteristics we admire.

We continue to increase the depth and quality of our research staff. Furthermore, we feel no pressure to make commitments unless both the price and quality of the investment dictate it. During a period such as this, patience and constant investigation are required and we are confident that we will see continued growth of our present companies as well as new opportunities, which will hopefully provide a decent return on your investment in Sequoia.

Sincerely,

Notes To Financial Statements

NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Sequoia Fund, Inc. is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management company. The investment objective of the Fund is growth of capital from investments primarily in common stocks and securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Valuation of investments: Investments are carried at market value or at fair value as determined by the Board of Directors. Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is listed on the last business day of the period; securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the NASDAQ National Market System on the last business day of the period; listed securities and securities traded in the over-the-counter market for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices; U.S. Treasury Bills with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost. U.S. Treasury Bills that when purchased have a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are stated at their discounted value based upon the mean between the bid and asked discount rates until the sixtieth day prior to maturity, at which point they are valued at amortized cost.
B. Accounting for investments: Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The net realized gain or loss on security transactions is determined for accounting and tax purposes on the specific identification basis.
C. Federal income taxes: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its stockholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
D. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E. General: Dividends and distributions are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.

NOTE 2—INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS AND PAYMENTS TO INTERESTED PERSONS:

The Fund retains Ruane, Cunniff & Co., Inc. as its investment adviser. Ruane, Cunniff & Co., Inc. (Investment Adviser) provides the Fund with investment advice, administrative services and facilities.

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser receives a management fee equal to 1% per annum of the Fund's average daily net asset values. This percentage will not increase or decrease in relation to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the Fund. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser is obligated to reimburse the Fund for the amount, if any, by which the operating expenses of the Fund (including the management fee) in any year exceed the sum of 1-1/2% of the average daily net asset values of the Fund during such year up to a maximum of $30,000,000, plus 1% of the average daily net asset values in excess of $30,000,000. The expenses incurred by the Fund exceeded the percentage limitation during the year ended December 31, 2002 and the Investment Adviser reimbursed the Fund $793,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, there were no amounts accrued to interested persons, including officers and directors, other than advisory fees of $41,617,894 and brokerage commissions of $447,773 to Ruane, Cunniff & Co., Inc. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Investment Adviser and the Fund's distributor. Ruane, Cunniff & Co., Inc., the Fund's distributor, received no compensation from the Fund on the sale of the Fund's capital shares during the year ended December 31, 2002.

NOTE 3—PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS:

The aggregate cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of securities, excluding U.S. government obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $263,367,361 and $295,773,207, respectively. Included in proceeds of sales is $160,908,489 representing the value of securities disposed of in payment of redemptions in kind, resulting in realized gains of $112,911,652. As a result of the redemptions in kind, net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes. These realized gains have been reclassified from undistributed realized gains to paid in surplus in the accompanying financial statements.

At December 31, 2002 the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities were $2,169,528,239 and $9,040,394, respectively.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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, 2002 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for the year in the period ended December 31, 1998 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated January 15, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
