How did the Fund perform over the last year?
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, the Amana Developing World Fund Institutional Shares returned 14.95%, ahead of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which returned 12.39%. For the five-year period ended May 31, 2024, the Institutional Shares reported an annualized return of 8.31%, the Index reported 3.54%, and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group reported 4.45%. Morningstar rated the Institutional Shares 4 Stars for overall performance.
From the end of fiscal 2023 through the end of fiscal 2024, the Amana Developing World Fund's total net assets increased 49.7%. The Institutional Shares reported a turnover ratio of 1.3%, consistent with our overall strategy of investing in companies with long-term growth potential.
Factors Affecting Past Performance
Viewed alone, fiscal 2024 was a strong year for emerging markets. When compared to the US’s immense returns, driven by the rise in artificial intelligence (AI), emerging market returns look humbler. Developing economies experienced growth that propelled equities higher, despite a strong US dollar. While economic growth was strong, equity returns were quite divergent. For the one-year period ended March 31, 2024, India’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew 8.2% and the MSCI India Index returned 37.35%. Meanwhile, China’s GDP grew 5.4% but the MSCI China Index declined -16.98%. This divergence between economic gains and equity growth has been a consistent theme in emerging market investing; economic gains don’t necessarily accrue to shareholders. This, among others, is a key reason why we consider governance at both the company and geographic level.
The above-mentioned disparity, and the fact that China constitutes 27.16% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, provides a compelling argument for active investing in emerging markets. Southeast Asia and Latin America benefited from supply chain diversification, Taiwan and South Korea are manufacturing leading-edge semiconductors, and India and Indonesia are adding masses to the middle class. With the MSCI Emerging Markets Index trading at 12.02x forward P/E versus 20.86x for the MSCI USA Index, we continue to see attractive value in developing world markets.

How did the Fund perform over the last year?
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, the Amana Developing World Fund Investor Shares returned 14.65%, ahead of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which returned 12.39%. For the five-year period ended May 31, 2024, the Investor Shares reported an annualized return of 8.09%, the Index reported 3.54%, and the Fund’s Morningstar peer group reported 4.45%. Morningstar rated the Investor Shares 4 Stars for overall performance.
From the end of fiscal 2023 through the end of fiscal 2024, the Amana Developing World Fund's total net assets increased 49.7%. The Investor Shares reported a low turnover ratio of 1.3%, consistent with our overall strategy of investing in companies with long-term growth potential.
Factors Affecting Past Performance
Viewed alone, fiscal 2024 was a strong year for emerging markets. When compared to the US’s immense returns, driven by the rise in artificial intelligence (AI), emerging market returns look humbler. Developing economies experienced growth that propelled equities higher, despite a strong US dollar. While economic growth was strong, equity returns were quite divergent. For the one-year period ended March 31, 2024, India’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew 8.2% and the MSCI India Index returned 37.35%. Meanwhile, China’s GDP grew 5.4% but the MSCI China Index declined -16.98%. This divergence between economic gains and equity growth has been a consistent theme in emerging market investing; economic gains don’t necessarily accrue to shareholders. This, among others, is a key reason why we consider governance at both the company and geographic level.
The above-mentioned disparity, and the fact that China constitutes 27.16% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, provides a compelling argument for active investing in emerging markets. Southeast Asia and Latin America benefited from supply chain diversification, Taiwan and South Korea are manufacturing leading-edge semiconductors, and India and Indonesia are adding masses to the middle class. With the MSCI Emerging Markets Index trading at 12.02x forward P/E versus 20.86x for the MSCI USA Index, we continue to see attractive value in developing world markets.

Annual Shareholder Report - May 31, 2024
The objective of the Growth Fund is long-term capital growth, consistent with Islamic principles. This Annual Shareholder Report contains important information about the Amana Growth Fund for the period of June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024. You can find additional information about the Fund at www.saturna.com/amana/growth-fund. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-800-728-8762 or investorservices@saturna.com. The report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.
What were the Fund’s costs for the last year?
(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
Class Name | Cost of a $10,000 Investment | Cost Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |

Institutional Shares | $70.17 | 0.62% |
How did the Fund perform over the last year?
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, the Institutional Shares of the Amana Growth Fund returned 26.34% (versus 7.09% last year). The Institutional Shares’ fiscal year performance trailed the broad S&P 500 Index, which gained 28.19%. While income is not an investment, the Institutional Shares paid a qualified income dividend at $0.24 per share. All Fund shareowners received a capital gain distribution of $0.35 per share. The Fund's total net assets increased 36.63% during the fiscal year. For the 10-year period ended May 31, 2024, the Institutional Shares provided an annualized return of 15.15%. Since their inception on September 25, 2013, the Institutional Shares provided an annualized return of 15.41%.
What Factors Influenced Performance?
After Nvidia’s May 2023 earnings announcement, the artificial intelligence (AI) frenzy took off, defining market performance ever since. The handful of stocks that dominated 2023 became known as the Magnificent Seven: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Google, Amazon, Tesla, and Meta. All (except possibly Apple) are expected to be major AI players in the coming years. The Amana Growth Fund holds positions in Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Google. We do not believe the other three stocks are appropriate holdings for the Fund. Those we do own are held in positions lower than their benchmark weights, creating a performance drag. Last year, GLP-1 drug companies Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly helped overcome that drag, soaring to new heights on enthusiasm for the effectiveness of their weight loss drugs. Trane was a top contributor in the Industrial sector, benefiting from rising demand for cooling technologies.
Looking Forward
With a presidential election approaching, either bravery or foolishness would be required to opine on next year’s outlook. The two candidates have widely divergent opinions on a host of issues including taxation, tariffs, immigration, fossil fuels, alternative energy, and many others. Economic resilience (in terms of jobs and wages) adds to the uncertainty, defying the inverted yield curve prognostications, and consumers are still scarred from the pandemic-engendered period of high inflation.
How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?
The Cumulative Performance chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the class of shares noted. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

How did the Fund perform over the last year?
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, the Institutional Shares of the Amana Income Fund returned 20.05%, compared to 4.61% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023. The S&P 500 returned 28.19% over the 2024 fiscal year. As the Amana Income Fund’s objective is current income, the Institutional Shares distributed $0.32 per share at fiscal year-end.

Factors Affecting Past Performance
Frenzied optimism over artificial intelligence (AI) drove much of the US and global stock market performance during the fiscal year. Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor, whose businesses were buoyed by demand for AI products and services, were among the top contributors to the Amana Income Fund’s performance. The two best performers in the Fund, however, were pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly (with a strong diabetes and emerging weight loss pipeline) and electrical components manufacturer Eaton Corp (whose products are used in power management and energy efficiency applications). The strong results from companies competing outside the AI arena illustrate the benefits of diversification, as their prospects are not set to dim even if the AI hype fades.
Looking Forward
Not only is 2024 a presidential election year in the US, but the UK will hold their national elections in July. The relationship between the US and China has grown increasingly adversarial on both a geopolitical and economic level. Global political uncertainty and the potential for ongoing escalation between the world’s two preeminent economic and military powers present investment risks. Meanwhile, the fast pace of innovation in AI, pharmaceutical development, and grid electrification offer investment opportunities. The Amana Income Fund will continue to prudently weigh risks and opportunities through ownership of companies with robust competitive advantages, skilled management, and strong balance sheets that position them well to deliver strong performance.

How did the Fund perform over the last year?
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, the Investor Shares of the Amana Income Fund returned 19.75%, compared to 4.35% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023. The S&P 500 returned 28.19% over the 2024 fiscal year. As the Amana Income Fund’s objective is current income, the Investor Shares distributed $0.27 per share at fiscal year-end.
Factors Affecting Past Performance
Frenzied optimism over artificial intelligence (AI) drove much of the US and global stock market performance during the fiscal year. Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor, whose businesses were buoyed by demand for AI products and services, were among the top contributors to the Amana Income Fund’s performance. The two best performers in the Fund, however, were pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly (with a strong diabetes and emerging weight loss pipeline) and electrical components manufacturer Eaton Corp (whose products are used in power management and energy efficiency applications). The strong results from companies competing outside the AI arena illustrate the benefits of diversification, as their prospects are not set to dim even if the AI hype fades.
Looking Forward
Not only is 2024 a presidential election year in the US, but the UK will hold their national elections in July. The relationship between the US and China has grown increasingly adversarial on both a geopolitical and economic level. Global political uncertainty and the potential for ongoing escalation between the world’s two preeminent economic and military powers present investment risks. Meanwhile, the fast pace of innovation in AI, pharmaceutical development, and grid electrification offer investment opportunities. The Amana Income Fund will continue to prudently weigh risks and opportunities through ownership of companies with robust competitive advantages, skilled management, and strong balance sheets that position them well to deliver strong performance.

The following is an excerpt from the Amana Mutual Funds Trust Audit & Compliance Committee Charter:
D. Oversight of Independent Auditors
3. Pre-approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services. Except as provided below, the Committee’s prior approval is necessary for the engagement of the independent auditors to provide any audit or non-audit services for the Trust and any non-audit services for any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Saturna that provides ongoing services to the Trust (Saturna and each such entity, an “Adviser Affiliate”) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Trust. Non-audit services that qualify under the de minimis exception described in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules thereunder, that were not pre-approved by the Committee, must be approved by the Committee prior to the completion of the audit. Pre-approval by the Committee is not required for engagements entered into pursuant to (a) pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Committee, or (b) pre-approval granted by one or more members of the Committee to whom, or by a subcommittee to which, the Committee has delegated pre-approval authority, provided in either case, that the Committee is informed of each such service at its next regular meeting.
(e)(2) Percentages of Services
None of the services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the principal accountant for services rendered to the Registrant are shown above in the response to Item 4(b), (c) and (d) above.
(1) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the principal accountant for services rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser, Saturna Capital Corporation (“Saturna”), for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2024, and 2023 were:
| Fiscal Year Ended |
| May 2024 | May 2023 |
All other fees: | $20,000 | $20,000 |
The fees listed above consist of fees paid by Saturna to the Registrant’s principal accountant for its review and report on Saturna’s internal transfer agency control procedures and Saturna’s custody control procedures.
(2) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the principal accountant for services rendered to entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Saturna, for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2024, and 2022 were:
| Fiscal Year Ended |
| May 2024 | May 2023 |
All other fees: | None | None |
(h) Registrant’s Audit Committee
The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Saturna, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Saturna that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01 (c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X and has determined that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Registrant’s principal accountant.

A
Morningstar
Ratings™
("Star
Ratings")
are
as
of
May
31,
2024
and
June
30,
2024.
The
Morningstar
Rating™
for
funds,
or
"star
rating",
is
calculated
for
managed
products
(including
mutual
funds,
variable
annuity
and
variable
life
subaccounts,
exchange-traded
funds,
closed-end
funds,
and
separate
accounts)
with
at
least
a
three-year
history.
Exchange-traded
funds
and
open-ended
mutual
funds
are
considered
a
single
population
for
comparative
purposes.
It
is
calculated
based
on
a
Morningstar
Risk-Adjusted
Return
measure
that
accounts
for
variation
in
a
managed
product's
monthly
excess
performance
(not
including
the
effects
of
sales
charges,
loads,
and
redemption
fees),
placing
more
emphasis
on
downward
variations
and
rewarding
consistent
performance.
The
top
10%
of
products
in
each
product
category
receive
5
stars,
the
next
22.5%
receive
4
stars,
the
next
35%
receive
3
stars,
the
next
22.5%
receive
2
stars,
and
the
bottom
10%
receive
1
star.
The
Overall
Morningstar
Rating
for
a
managed
product
is
derived
from
a
weighted
average
of
the
performance
figures
associated
with
its
three-,
five-,
and
10-year
(if
applicable)
Morningstar
Rating
metrics.
The
weights
are:
100%
three-year
rating
for
36-59
months
of
total
returns,
60%
five-year
rating/40%
three-year
rating
for
60-119
months
of
total
returns,
and
50%
10-year
rating/30%
five-year
rating/20%
three-year
rating
for
120
or
more
months
of
total
returns.
While
the
10-year
overall
star
rating
formula
seems
to
give
the
most
weight
to
the
10-year
period,
the
most
recent
three-year
period
actually
has
the
greatest
impact
because
it
is
included
in
all
three
rating
periods.
B
Morningstar
Sustainability
Ratings
are
as
of
April
30,
2024.
The
Morningstar
Sustainability
Rating™
is
intended
to
measure
how
well
the
issuing
companies
of
the
securities
within
a
fund’s
portfolio
are
managing
their
environmental,
social,
and
governance
(“ESG”)
risks
and
opportunities
relative
to
the
fund’s
Morningstar
category
peers.
The
Morningstar
Sustainability
Rating
calculation
is
a
two-step
process.
First,
each
fund
with
at
least
50%
of
assets
covered
by
a
company-level
ESG
score
from
Sustainalytics
receives
a
Morningstar
Portfolio
Sustainability
Score™.
The
Morningstar
Portfolio
Sustainability
Score
is
an
asset-weighted
average
of
normalized
company-level
ESG
scores
with
deductions
made
for
controversial
incidents
by
the
issuing
companies,
such
as
environmental
accidents,
fraud,
or
discriminatory
behavior.
The
Morningstar
Sustainability
Rating
is
then
assigned
to
all
scored
funds
within
Morningstar
Categories
in
which
at
least
ten
(10)
funds
receive
a
Portfolio
Sustainability
Score
and
is
determined
by
each
fund's
rank
within
the
following
distribution:
High
(highest
10%),
Above
Average
(next
22.5%),
Average
(next
35%),
Below
Average
(next
22.5%),
and
Low
(lowest
10%).
The
Morningstar
Sustainability
Rating
is
depicted
by
globe
icons
where
High
equals
5
globes
and
Low
equals
1
globe.
A
Sustainability
Rating
is
assigned
to
any
fund
that
has
more
than
half
of
its
underlying
assets
rated
by
Sustainalytics
and
is
within
a
Morningstar
Category
with
at
least
10
scored
funds;
therefore,
the
rating
is
not
limited
to
funds
with
explicit
sustainable
or
responsible
investment
mandates.
Morningstar
updates
its
Sustainability
Ratings
monthly.
Portfolios
receive
a
Morningstar
Portfolio
Sustainability
Score
and
Sustainability
Rating
one
month
and
six
business
days
after
their
reported
as-of
date
based
on
the
most
recent
portfolio.
As
part
of
the
evaluation
process,
Morningstar
uses
Sustainalytics’
ESG
scores
from
the
same
month
as
the
portfolio
as-of
date.
The
Fund’s
portfolios
are
actively
managed
and
subject
to
change,
which
may
result
in
a
different
Morningstar
Sustainability
Score
and
Rating
each
month.
Amana
Income
Fund,
Amana

Fund,
and
Amana
Developing
World

were
each
rated
100%
of

Amana

Fund
was
rated
91%
of

%
Rank
in
Category
is
the
fund’s
percentile
rank
for
the
specified
time
period
relative
to
all
funds
that
have
the
same
Morningstar
category.
The
highest
(or
most
favorable)
percentile
rank
is
1
and
the
lowest
(or
least
favorable)
percentile
rank
is
100.
The
top-
performing
fund
in
a
category
will
always
receive
a
rank
of
1.
Percentile
ranks
within
categories
are
most
useful
in
those
categories
that
have
a
large
number
of
funds.
The
Amana
Mutual
Funds
offer
two
share
classes
–
Investor

and
Institutional

each
of
which
has
different

Morningstar
Carbon
Metrics
(as
of
May
31,
2024)
Morningstar
carbon
metrics
are
asset-weighted
portfolio
calculations
based
on
their
Sustainalytics
subsidiary's
carbon-risk
research.
Based
on
two
of
these
metrics
–
Carbon
Risk
Score
and
Fossil
Fund
Involvement
%
–
funds
may
receive
the
Low
Carbon
designation,
which
allows
investors
to
easily
identify
low-carbon
funds
within
the
global
universe.
The
portfolio
Carbon
Risk
Score
is
a
number
between
0
and
100
(a
lower
score
is
better).
A
portfolio's
Carbon
Risk
Score
is
the
asset-weighted
sum
of
the
carbon
risk
scores
of
its
holdings,
averaged
over
the
trailing
12
months.
The
carbon
risk
of
a
company
is
Sustainalytics'
evaluation
of
the
degree
to
which
a
firm's
activities
and
products
are
aligned
with
the
transition
to
a
low-carbon
economy.
The
assessment
includes
carbon
intensity,
fossil
fuel
involvement,
stranded
assets
exposure,
mitigation
strategies,
and
green
product
solutions.
Fossil
Fuel
Involvement
%
is
the
portfolio's
asset-weighted
percentage
exposure
to
fossil
fuels,
averaged
over
the
trailing
12
months.
Companies
with
fossil
fuel
involvement
are
defined
as
those
in
the
following
subindustries:
Thermal
Coal
Extraction,
Thermal
Coal
Power
Generation,
Oil
&
Gas
Production,
Oil
&
Gas
Power
Generation,
and
Oil
&
Gas
Products
&
Services.
To
receive
the
Low
Carbon
designation
a
fund
must
have
a
Carbon
Risk
Score
below
10
and
a
Fossil
Fuel
Involvement
%
of
less
than
7%
of
assets.
For
these
metrics
to
be
calculated,
at
least
67%
of
a
portfolio's
assets
must
be
covered
by
Sustainalytics
company
carbon-risk
research.
All
Morningstar
carbon
metrics
are
calculated
quarterly.
Amana

Amana

were
rated
on

Organization
Amana
Mutual
Funds
Trust
(the
“Trust”)
was
organized
as
a
Delaware
Statutory
Trust
on
March
11,
2013,
and
is
the
successor
to
Amana
Mutual
Funds
Trust,
an
Indiana
Business
Trust
(“Prior
Trust”)
organized
on
July
26,
1984,
pursuant
to
a
reorganization
on
July
19,
2013.
Each
Fund
is
a
series
of
the
Trust
and
the
Income,
Growth,
and
Developing
World
Funds
are
successors
to
the
corresponding
series
of
the
Prior
Trust.
The
Trust
is
registered
as
an
open-end,
management
company
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended.
The
Trust
restricts
its
investments
to
those
acceptable
to
Muslims
by
investing
in
accordance
with
Islamic
principles.
Four
portfolio
series
have
been
created.
The
Income
Fund
was
first
authorized
to
sell
shares
of
beneficial
interest
to
the
public
on
June
23,
1986.
The
Growth
Fund
began
operations
on
February
3,
1994
.
The
Developing
World
Fund
began
operations
on
September
28,
2009
.
Institutional
Shares
of
Income,
Growth,
and
Developing
World
Funds
were
first
offered
September
25,
2013.
The
Participation
Fund
(both
Investor
and
Institutional
Shares)
began
operations
September
28,
2015
.
The
Participation
Fund
is
a
nondiversified
fund.
Each
Fund
is
an
investment
company
and
accordingly
follows
the
investment
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
of
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standard
Codification
Topic
946
“Financial
Services
–
Investment
Companies.”
Each
class
of
shares
of
a
Fund
represents
an
interest
in
the
same
portfolio
of
investments
of
the
Fund
and
has
in
all
respects
the
same
rights
and
obligations
as
each
other
class
of
the
Fund,
except
that
each
class
bears
its
own
class
expenses,
and
each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
that
class.
Each
class
of
shares
may
be
subject
to
different
investment
minimums
and
other
conditions
of
eligibility
as
may
be
described
in
the
prospectus
for
the
particular
class
of
shares,
as
from
time
to
time
in
effect.
Income,
realized
and
unrealized
capital
gains
and
losses,
and
expenses
to
be
paid
by
a
Fund
and
not
allocated
to
a
particular
class
as
provided
below,
shall
be
allocated
to
each
class
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets.
Expenses
allocable
to
a
specific
class
are
expenses
specifically
incurred
by
or
for
such
class
including
the
following:
Distribution
fees;
Retirement
plan
custodial
fees;
and
Any
applicable
service
fees.
Net
investment
income
dividends
and
capital
gain
distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
on
each
class
of
its
shares
will
be
calculated
in
the
same
manner
on
the
same
day
and
at
the
same
time.
Commencing
in
the
year
ended
May
31,
2021,
the
Participation
Fund
utilizes
a
wholly-owned
subsidiary
to
achieve
its
investment
objective
(see
Note
2).
Investment
risks:
Income
,
Growth
,
Developing
World
,
and
Participation
Funds
:
The
value
of
the
shares
of
each
of
the
Funds
rises
and
falls
as
the
value
of
the
securities
in
which
the
Funds
invest
goes
up
and
down.
The
Funds
limit
the
securities
they
purchase
to
those
consistent
with
Islamic
principles.
This
limits
opportunities
and
may
affect
performance.
Each
of
the
Funds
may
invest
in
securities
that
are
not
traded
in
the
United
States.
Investments
in
the
securities
of
foreign
issuers
may
involve
risks
in
addition
to
those
normally
associated
with
investments
in
the
securities
of
US
issuers.
These
risks
include
currency
and
market
fluctuations,
and
political
or
social
instability.
The
risks
of
foreign
investing
are
generally
magnified
in
the
smaller
and
more
volatile
securities
markets
of
the
developing
world.
Growth
Fund
:
The
smaller
and
less
seasoned
companies
that
may
be
in
the
Growth
Fund
have
a
greater
risk
of
price
volatility.
Participation
Fund
:
While
the
Participation
Fund
does
not
invest
in
conventional
bonds,
risks
similar
to
those
of
conventional
fixed-
income
funds
apply.
These
include:
diversification
and
concentration
risk,
liquidity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
credit
risk,
and
high-yield
risk.
The
Participation
Fund
also
includes
risks
specific
to
investments
in
Islamic
fixed-income
instruments.
The
structural
complexity
of
sukuk
,
along
with
the
weak
infrastructure
of
the
sukuk
market,
increases
risk.
As
compared
to
rights
of
conventional
bondholders,
holders
of
sukuk
may
have
limited
ability
to
pursue
legal
recourse
to
enforce
the
terms
of
the
sukuk
or
to
restructure
the
sukuk
in
order
to
seek
recovery
of
principal.
Sukuk
are
also
subject
to
the
risk
that
some
Islamic
scholars
may
deem
certain
sukuk
as
not
meeting
Islamic
investment
principles
subsequent
to
the
sukuk
being
issued.
The
Funds
may
invest
substantially
in
one
or
more
sectors,
which
can
increase
volatility
and
exposure
to
issuers
specific
to
a
particular
sector
or
industry.
Please

each
Fund’s
Summary
Prospectus,

Funds'
Prospectus,

Information

discussion
of
the
risks
affecting
the
Funds.

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
significant
accounting
policies,
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America,
which
are
consistently
followed
by
the
Funds
in
preparation
of
their
financial
statements.
Security
valuation:
Investments
in
securities
traded
on
a
national
securities
exchange
and
over-the-counter
securities
for
which
sale
prices
are
available
are
valued
at
that
price.
Securities
for
which
there
are
no
sales
are
valued
at
latest
bid
price.
Foreign
markets
may
close
before
the
time
as
of
which
the
Funds’
share
prices
are
determined.
Because
of
this,
events
occurring
after
the
close
and
before
the
determination
of
the
Funds’
share
prices
may
have
a
material
effect
on
the
values
of
some
or
all
of
the
Funds’
foreign
securities.
To
account
for
this,
the
Funds
may
use
outside
pricing
services
for
valuation
of
their
non-US
securities.
In
cases
in
which
there
is
not
a
readily
available
market
price,
a
fair
value
for
such
security
is
determined
in
good
faith
by
the
Adviser,
whom
the
Board
of
Trustees
has
designated
as
the
Funds’
valuation
designee
to
perform
fair
value
determinations
relating
to
all
Fund
investments.
Security
transactions
are
recorded
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
sales
of
securities
are
recorded
on
the
identified
cost
basis.
Sukuk
certificates
in
which
the
Participation
Fund
invests
are
valued
based
on
evaluated
prices
supplied
by
an
independent
pricing
service,
which
include
valuations
provided
by
market
makers
and
other
participants,
provided
that
there
is
sufficient
market
activity
on
which
the
pricing
service
can
base
such
valuations.
Where
market
activity
is
insufficient
for
making
such
determinations,
the
independent
pricing
service
uses
proprietary

(continued)
methodologies
and
may
consider
a
variety
of
factors,
such
as
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
and
other
factors
in
order
to
calculate
the
security’s
fair
value.
Foreign
currency:
Investment
securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
US
dollar
amounts
at
the
date
of
valuation.
Purchases
and
sales
of
investment
securities
and
income
and
expense
items
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
US
dollar
amounts
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
The
Funds
do
not
isolate
that
portion
of
the
results
of
operations
resulting
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
on
investments
from
the
fluctuations
arising
from
changes
in
market
prices
of
securities
held.
Such
fluctuations
are
included
with
the
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
from
investments.
Reported
net
realized
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses
arise
from
sales
of
foreign
currencies,
currency
gains
or
losses
realized
between
the
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions,
and
the
difference
between
the
amounts
of
dividends,
interest,
and
foreign
withholding
taxes
recorded
on
the
Funds’
books
and
the
US
dollar
equivalent
of
the
amounts
actually
received
or
paid.
Net
unrealized
foreign
exchange
gains
and
losses
arise
from
changes
in
the
fair
values
of
assets
and
liabilities,
other
than
investments
in
securities
at
fiscal
period
end,
resulting
from
changes
in
exchange
rates.
Share
valuation:
Each
Fund
computes
the
share
price
of
each
share
class
by
dividing
the
net
assets
attributable
to
each
share
class
by
the
outstanding
shares
of
that
class.
Each
share
class
represents
an
interest
in
the
same
investment
portfolio.
Each
share
class
is
identical
in
all
respects
except
that
each
class
bears
its
own
class
expenses,
and
each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
that
class.
As
a
result
of
the
differences
in
the
expenses
borne
by
each
share
class,
the
share
price
and
distributions
will
vary
among
a
Fund’s
share
classes.
The
Funds’
shares
are
not
priced
or
traded
on
days
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
is
closed.
The
NAV
is
both
the
offering
and
redemption
price
per
share.

Fair
value
measurements:
Accounting
Standards
Codification
(ASC)
820
establishes
a
three-
tier
framework
for
measuring
fair
value
based
on
a
hierarchy
of
inputs.
The
hierarchy
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the
Funds’
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Funds’
investments
and
are
summarized
below.
Level
1
-
Unadjusted
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
that
the
Trust
has
the
ability
to
access.
Level
2
-
Observable
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
in
Level
1
that
are
observable
for
the
asset
or
liability,
either
directly
or
indirectly.
These
inputs
may
include
quoted
prices
for
the
identical
instrument
on
an
inactive
market,
prices
for
similar
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speeds,
credit
risk,
yield
curves,
default
rates,
and
similar
data.
Level
3
−
Unobservable
inputs
for
the
asset
or
liability,
to
the
extent
relevant
observable
inputs
are
not
available,
representing
the
Trust’s
own
assumptions
about
the
assumptions
a
market
participant
would
use
in
valuing
the
asset
or
liability,
and
would
be
based
on
the
best
information
available.
The
availability
of
observable
inputs
can
vary
from
security
to
security
and
is
affected
by
a
wide
variety
of
factors,
including,
for
example,
the
type
of
security,
whether
the
security
is
new
and
not
yet
established
in
the
marketplace,
the
liquidity
of
markets,
and
other
characteristics
particular
to
the
security.
To
the
extent
that
valuation
is
based
on
models
or
inputs
that
are
less
observable
or
unobservable
in
the
market,
the
determination
of
fair
value
requires
more
judgment.
Accordingly,
the
degree
of
judgment
exercised
in
determining
fair
value
is
greatest
for
instruments
categorized
in
Level
3.
The
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value
may
fall
into
different
levels
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
In
such
cases,
for
disclosure
purposes,
the
level
in
the
fair
value
hierarchy
within
which
the
fair
value
measurement
falls
in
its
entirety
is
determined
based
on
the
lowest
level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement
in
its
entirety.
The
inputs
or
methodology
used
for
valuing
securities
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
Investment
concentration:
The
fundamental
policies
of
the
Funds
prohibit
earning
interest,
in
accordance
with
Islamic
principles.
Consequently,
cash
is
held
in
non-interest-bearing
deposits
with
the
Funds’
custodian
or
other
banks.
“Other
assets
(net
of
liabilities)”
in
the
Funds’
Schedules
of
Investments
primarily
represents
cash
on
deposit
with
the
custodian.
Cash
on
deposit
will
vary
widely
over
time.
Accounting
Standards
Codification
(“ASC”)
825,
“
Financial
Instruments,
”
identifies
these
items
as
a
concentration
of
credit
risk.
The
risk
is
managed
by
careful
financial
analysis
and
review
of
the
custodian’s
operations,
resources,
and
protections
available
to
the
Trust.
This
process
includes
evaluation
of
other
financial
institutions
providing
investment
company
custody
services.
ReFlow
Liquidity
Program:
The
Funds
may
participate
in
the
ReFlow
Fund,
LLC
("ReFlow")
liquidity
program,
which
is
designed
to
provide
an
alternative
liquidity
source
on
days
when
redemptions
of
Fund
shares
exceed
purchases.
Under
the
program,
ReFlow
is
available
to
provide
cash
to
the
Funds
to
meet
all,
or
a
portion,
of
daily
net
shareowner
redemptions.
Following
purchases
of
Fund
shares,
ReFlow
then
generally
redeems
those
shares
when
the
Fund
experiences
net
sales,
at
the
end
of
a
maximum
holding
period
determined
by
ReFlow
(currently
8
days)
or
at
other
times
at
ReFlow's
discretion.
For
use
of
the
ReFlow
service,
a
participating
Fund
pays
a
fee
to
ReFlow
each
time
it
purchases
Fund
shares,
calculated
by
applying
to
the
purchase
amount
a
fee
rate
determined
through
an
automated
daily
"Dutch
auction"
among
other
participating
mutual
funds
seeking
liquidity
that
day.
The
current
minimum
fee
rate
is
0.14%
of
the
value
of
the
Fund
shares
purchased
by
ReFlow,
although
the
Fund
may
submit
a
bid
at
a
higher
fee
rate
if
it
determines
that
doing
so
is
in
the
best
interest
of
Fund
shareowners.
In
accordance
with
federal
securities
laws,
ReFlow
is
prohibited
from
acquiring
more
than
3%
of
the
outstanding
voting
securities
of
a
Fund.
ReFlow
will
periodically
redeem
its
entire
share
position
in
the
Fund
and
request
that
such
redemption
be
met
in
kind
in
accordance
with
the
Funds'
in-kind
redemption
policies.
There
is
no
assurance
that
ReFlow
will
have
sufficient
funds
available
to
meet
the
Funds’
liquidity
needs
on
a
particular
day.
Federal
income
taxes:
Each
Fund
intends
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
necessary
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
and
to
make
the
requisite
distributions
of
income
and
capital
gains
to
its
shareowners
sufficient
to
relieve
it
from
all
or
substantially
all
federal
income
taxes.
Therefore,
no
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required.
The
Funds
recognize
the
tax
benefits
of
uncertain
tax
positions
only
where
the
position
is
“more
likely
than
not”
to
be
sustained
assuming
examination
by
tax
authorities.
Management
has
analyzed
the
Funds’
tax
positions
and
has
concluded
that
no
liability
for
unrecognized
tax
benefits
should
be
recorded
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
taken
on
returns
filed
for
open
tax
years
(2021
−
2023)
or
expected
to
be
taken
in
the
Funds’
2024
tax
returns.
The
Funds
identify
their
major
tax
jurisdiction
as
US
federal
and
foreign
jurisdictions
where
the
Funds
make
significant
investments;
however,
the
Funds
are
not
aware
of
any
tax
positions
for
which
it
is
reasonably
possible
that
the
total
amounts
of
unrecognized
tax
benefits
will
change
materially
in
the
next
12
months.

Reclassification
of
capital
accounts:
Accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
require
that
certain
components
of
net
assets
relating
to
permanent
differences
be
reclassified
between
financial
and
tax
reporting.
These
reclassifications
are
as
of
the
fiscal
year
ended
May
31,
2024
,
and
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
or
NAV
per
share.
The
Income
and
Developing
World
Funds
had
no
reclassification
of
capital
accounts.
Distributions
to
shareowners:
For
the
Amana
Participation
Fund
,
dividends
to
shareowners
from
net
investment
income
are
paid
daily
and
distributed
on
the
last
business
day
of
each
month.
For
the
Amana
Income
Fund
,
Amana
Growth
Fund
,
and
Amana
Developing
World
Fund
,
dividends
to
shareowners
from
net
investment
income,
if
any,
are
paid
in
May
and
December.
As
a
result
of
their
investment
strategies,
the
Growth
and
Developing
World
Funds
do
not
expect
to
pay
income
dividends.
Distributions
of
capital
gains,
if
any,
are
made
at
least
annually,
and
as
required
to
comply
with
federal
excise
tax
requirements.
Distributions
to
shareowners
are
determined
in
accordance
with
income
tax
regulations
and
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Dividends
are
paid
in
shares
of
the
Funds,
at
the
net
asset
value
on
the
payable
date.
Shareowners
may
elect
to
take
distributions
if
they
total
$10
or
more
in
cash.
Use
of
estimates:
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
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
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
Foreign
taxes:
Withholding
taxes
on
foreign
dividends
are
paid
(a
portion
of
which
may
be
reclaimable)
or
provided
for
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
country’s
tax
rules
and
rates
and
are
disclosed
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Withholding
tax
reclaims
are
filed
in
certain
countries
to
recover
a
portion
of
the
amounts
previously
withheld.
The
Funds
record
a
reclaim
receivable
based
on
a
number
of
factors,
including
a
jurisdiction’s
legal
obligation
to
pay
reclaims
as
well
as
payment
history
and
market
convention.

Amana

Trust
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statements
of
assets
and
liabilities
of
the
Amana
Income
Fund
,
the
Amana
Growth
Fund
,
the
Amana
Developing
World
Fund
and
the
Amana
Participation
Fund
(the
“Funds”),
each
a
series
of
Amana
Mutual
Funds
Trust
(the
“Trust”),
including
the
schedules
of
investments,
as
of
May
31,
2024
,
the
related
statements
of
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
and
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
and
the
related
notes
(consolidated
for
2024,
2023
and
2022
with
respect
to
the
Amana
Participation
Fund
)
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Funds
as
of
May
31,
2024
,
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
five
years
in
the
period
then
ended
(consolidated
for
2024,
2023
and
2022
with
respect
to
the
Amana
Participation
Fund
),
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Trust’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(“PCAOB”)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
have
served
as
the
auditor
of
one
or
more
of
the
funds
in
the
Trust
since
1995.
We
conducted
our
audits
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audits
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Funds
are
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
the
Funds’
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
As
part
of
our
audits
we
are
required
to
obtain
an
understanding
of
internal
control
over
financial
reporting,
but
not
for
the
purpose
of
expressing
an
opinion
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
Funds’
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
Accordingly,
we
express
no
such
opinion.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
May
31,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.
