Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 1997
Concerning the Balanced fund of the CornerCap Group of
Funds (Files Nos. 33-3149 and 811-4581)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have served as counsel for the Balanced Fund (the "Balance Fund")
of the CornerCap Group of Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust")
registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (File No. 811-4581) and with an indefinite number of Balanced Fund
shares of beneficial interest registered for offer and sale (the "Stock")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the
Company's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (No. 33-3149) (the
"Registration Statement").
We have examined and are familiar with originals or copies
(certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of such
documents, corporate records and other instruments relating to the
organization of the Trust and to the authorization and issuance of
the Registered Stock (as defined below) as we have deemed necessary
and advisable. Our opinion is limited to matters arising under the
provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust dated January 6,
1986, as supplemented on April 10, 1986, September 23, 1992 and July
27, 1995, applicable to the issuance of the Registered Stock by the
Company.
In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed and relied upon an
Officer's Certificate (the "Certificate") from Thomas E. Quinn,
Treasurer of the Company, dated September 26, 1997. According to the
Certificate, the Balanced Fund issued 257,038.173 shares of Stock during
the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997 (the "Registered Stock"), and
received consideration of not less than the par value for each such
share of Registered Stock.
In our examination we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies.
As to all factual matters relating to this opinion, including
those addressed in the Certificate, we have relied solely upon, and
have assumed the accuracy, completeness and genuineness of, oral and
written representations made to us by officers of the Trust
without making any independent investigation with respect thereto.
Based upon the foregoing and having regard for such legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that
the Registered Stock was, upon issuance thereof against payment
therefor as contemplated in the Registration Statement, legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Very truly yours,
KILPATRICK STOCKTON LLP
