   Eastcliff Funds, Inc.
   c/o Resource Trust Company
   International Centre
   Suite 300
   900 Second Avenue South
   Minneapolis, MN  55402-3380

   Gentlemen:

             We have acted as counsel for you in connection with the
   preparation of a Registration Statement on Form N-1A and amendments
   thereto relating to the sale by you of an indefinite amount of Eastcliff
   Funds, Inc. Series A Common Stock, $.01 par value, and Series B Common
   Stock, $.01 par value, (such Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as
   the "Stock"), in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement.  In
   this connection, we have examined:  (a) the Registration Statement on Form
   N-1A and all amendments thereto; (b) the Rule 24f-2 Notice for Eastcliff
   Funds, Inc. dated August 27, 1996; (c) corporate proceedings relative to
   the authorization for issuance of shares of the Stock; and (d) such other
   proceedings, documents and records as we deemed necessary to enable us to
   render this opinion.

             Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of
   Stock sold in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 in reliance upon
   registration pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of
   1940 and in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement were
   legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable except insofar as statutory
   liability may be imposed under Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin
   Statutes for unpaid wage claims of employees, not to exceed six months'
   service in any one case.  We have not examined the stock register books of
   Eastcliff Funds, Inc.  In opining that the shares of Stock sold in the
   fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 were fully paid, we have relied upon a
   certificate of an officer of Eastcliff Funds, Inc. as to the consideration
   received for such shares.

             We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with
   the filing of the Rule 24f-2 Notice for Eastcliff Funds, Inc. for its
   fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.  In giving this consent, we do not admit
   that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act
   of 1933, as amended, or within the category of persons whose consent is
   required by Section 7 of said Act.

                                      Very truly yours,



                                      FOLEY & LARDNER
