REPORT

GRAPHIC OMITTED |
It's been another good year for stock market investors. Amana Trust's assets are over $45 million, up 34% for the year. Our 4,729 active shareowner accounts are spread to 45 states and 29 foreign countries. Inside, please find the details of our fiscal year's operations and the year-end portfolios. For the fiscal year ended May 31, Amana's Growth Fund total return was 47.1% - a great performance. The Income Fund, which involves less risk and is more affected by rising interest rates, appreciated 3.0%. The strong markets of the last several years have pushed prices in some market sectors to rich levels by most historical standards. Our expectation is that near-term returns for the Growth Fund are unlikely to be as good, as earnings growth weakens. Income Fund's appreciation potential is now stronger, as interest rates get closer to a cyclical peak. We continue to focus the Funds' investments in value-based businesses, which have become more attractive to investors recently. Your board is proud to note Amana Income Fund's 14 years of successful operation. One of the lessons of the marketplace is that experience matters. Demonstrated capability to provide successful management and quality service in good times and bad is highly important in the volatile financial markets. During the course of this year, transaction volume has increased with more investors taking advantage of our true "no-load" structure. Our free Automatic Investment Plan and free retirement plans are increasingly utilized. More shareowners are investing with Amana to save for Hajj, retirement, and education. As always, we appreciate your continued support. If you have any questions or suggestions, please call us at 1-800/SATURNA. |

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE |
Stocks continue their upward trend. The good returns for the four previous fiscal years continued for the year ended May 31, 2000. Amana Growth Fund's total return was 47.1%, and Amana Income Fund's total return was 3.0%. As one benchmark, the new Dow Jones Islamic Index (US component, consisting of 241 large-cap equities) showed a gain of 10.1% (dividends excluded) for the fiscal year. As usual, market results varied by sector. The big technology companies did the best, as evidenced by the twelve-month (ending May 31, 2000) total return for the NASDAQ Composite (+58.3%). The more general S&P 500 Index appreciated +11.1% while the "old economy" Dow Jones Industrials were essentially unchanged (+0.8%). Since these unmanaged, expense-free indices are not directly comparable to an actively managed portfolio that has transaction and other costs (including advisory fees), it is useful to consider the performance of other mutual funds. Comparable Morningstar mutual fund investment objective averages are Growth funds (+21.4%) and Equity-Income funds (+0.3%). When evaluating the performance of the Amana Funds, it is important to remember their specialized nature, as well as a number of factors applicable to mutual funds in general. Amana Income Fund's primary objective is current income, with preservation of capital being the secondary objective. In following these objectives, the Income Fund buys income-producing equity securities. Amana Growth Fund's primary objective is long-term capital growth. The Funds may also hold cash when market conditions appear uncertain. It is not the objective of either Fund to "beat" any specific market index. All mutual funds have investment restrictions that affect investment performance. In addition to these other restrictions, Amana's Funds are restricted to buying only U.S.-traded equity securities of companies whose primary business operations are generally consistent with Islamic principles. This special restriction affects performance in a number of ways. The Funds, for example, do not earn interest on cash balances. Neither do the Funds invest in businesses that have substantial earnings from interest, such as banks. COMPARISON TO MARKET INDICES The following line graphs compare Fund performances to representative market indices. The index returns include reinvested dividends and don't allow for operating expenses such as those paid by all mutual funds. The first graph shows that $10,000 invested in Amana Income ten years ago (May 1990) would have grown to $27,554 at the end of May 2000. While not strictly comparable, the S&P 500 Composite Index is a traditional U.S. securities market benchmark. If $10,000 could have been invested in the S&P 500 at the end of May 1990, that would have grown to $47,719 over the same 10 years. |

This graph shows that $10,000 invested in Amana Growth at inception (Feb. 1994) would have grown to $30,633 at the end of May 2000. If $10,000 could have been invested in the Russell 2000 (an index of mid- and smaller-cap equities) at the beginning of February 1994, that would have grown to $19,465 over that same period. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Amana Income Fund and the Amana Growth Fund, each a series of shares of the Amana Mutual Funds Trust, including the schedules of investments as of May 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights presented for the year ended May 31, 1996 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 20, 1996, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amana Income Fund and Amana Growth Fund as of May 31, 2000, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
