RE: Rule 24f-2 Notice Filing
Gentlemen:
In accordance with the registration of an indefinite number of
units ("Units") registered by Amana Mutual Funds Trust (the
"Fund"), we have been asked to provide the opinion of counsel
required to be filed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 24f-2(b)(1)(v),
to accompany the notice on Form 24F-2 ("Notice") required to be
filed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 24f-2, promulgated pursuant to
Section 24(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined such documents
(including the audited financial statements of the Fund as of May
31, 1996), records and questions of law as we deemed it necessary
to examine for the purpose of this opinion. Based on that
examination and investigation, it is our opinion that the Units
which are the subject of the Notice have been validly issued, fully
paid and are not liable to further assessments.
Very truly yours,
SOMMER & BARNARD,
Attorneys at Law, PC
