May 31, 2003
REPORT
Fellow Shareowners:

Amana’s two Funds provided average results during the down then up U.S. stock market for the last year. Trust assets are almost $45 million. New investments continue to exceed shareowner redemptions. Inside, please find details of our fiscal year’s operations and the year-end investment portfolios.

For the fiscal year ended May 31, Amana Income Fund’s total return was -8.15%. Amana Growth Fund’s total return was -9.82%. The Income Fund was able to increase its dividends paid per share by 30.5% over the year before, and expects future dividends to be federally taxed at substantially lower rates. Future capital gains, either realized from the portfolio and paid as dividends or realized upon your redemption of shares, will also be taxed at lower rates.

Looking forward, the next two years appear to be a time to make your maximum allocation to U.S. stocks. Helped by many factors, corporate earnings for all of 2003 should grow more than 12%. Federal tax cuts, devaluation of the U.S. dollar, new prospects for peaceful cooperation, and clear political leadership portend well for 2004. But outside the U.S., the picture is murkier as long-term relationships are strained and Japan, Europe and Latin America experience deflation and unemployment.

We invite all shareowners to attend the Islamic investment seminars Saturna Capital is planning for major communities in the next year. For example, a special seminar is planned for 3 PM Friday, August 29th, as part of the ISNA Annual Convention in Chicago.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-888-73-AMANA or visit our website, www.amanafunds.com.

Respectfully,
Nicholas Kaiser, President

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Stocks began a three-year decline just after the new millenium began (in March 2000). For the year ended May 31, 2003, Amana Income Fund’s total return was -8.15% (vs. -9.88% the year before). The more volatile Amana Growth Fund’s total return was -9.82% (vs. -11.97% the year before). As one benchmark, the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (US component) returned a similar -8.99% (vs. -17.12% the year before) [dividends excluded] for the fiscal year.

The general stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, returned -8.06%. Middle and smaller-cap stocks did the same, as evidenced by the -8.17% return for the Russell 2000 Index. As usual, market results varied by sector. Low interest rates continued to benefited most financially sensitive issues, like construction. Quality bonds, which we avoid, did well. The NASDAQ Composite Index, overweighted in technology issues, is rallying from its huge losses (neglible loss of -0.74% after --23.15% the year before). Note also that these unmanaged, expense-free indices are not directly comparable to actively managed portfolios, with transaction and other costs (including advisory fees), such as mutual funds.

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 only 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. With the market outlook improved, the Income Fund and Growth Fund have both recently reduced their cash positions. 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 material earnings from interest (such as financial institutions) or other prohibited activities. The Funds also avoid companies with high levels of debt.

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 graph at the top of the next page shows that $10,000 invested in Amana Income ten years ago (May 1993) would have grown to $18,115 at the end of May 2003. 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 1993, that would have grown to $22,391 over the same 10 years.

This graph shows that $10,000 invested in Amana Growth at inception (Feb. 1994) would have grown to $21,935 at the end of May 2003. 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 $18,846 over that same period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Amana Mutual Funds Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements 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, 2003, 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 five 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.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. 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, 2003, 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Organization
Amama Mutual Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was established under Indiana law as a Business Trust on July 26, 1984. The Trust is registered as a no-load, open-end, diversified series investment 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. Two 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.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Investments:
Securities traded on a national exchange and NASDAQ’s National Market are valued at the price carried by the composite tape of all national exchanges at 4 p.m. New York time or, in the absence of any sale on that date, the 4 p.m. bid price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the closing bid price.

The cost of securities is the same for accounting and Federal income tax purposes. Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on the identified cost basis.

Cash dividends from equity securities are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date. Expenses incurred by the Trust on behalf of the Funds (e.g., professional fees) are allocated to the Funds on the basis of relative daily average net assets.

Federal income taxes:
As a qualified investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Funds are not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income. It is the Funds' policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.

At May 31, 2003 the Income Fund and the Growth Fund had capital losses of $21,637 and $443,337, respectively, during the period November 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003, which are treated for federal income tax purposes as arising during the Fund's tax year ending May 31, 2004. Thsee "post-October" losses may be utilized in future years to offset net realized capital gains prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.

At May 31, 2003 the Income Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $1,226,858, of which $35,530 expire in 2009, $972,807 expire in 2010 and $218,521 expire in 2011; Growth Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $1,459,013 of which expire $204,148 expire in 2010 and $1,254,865 expire in 2011.

Capital accounts:
The Fund accounts and reports for distributions to shareholders in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies.

Dividends and distributions to shareowners:
Dividends and distributions to shareowners are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend payable dates are the end of May and December. Shareowners electing to reinvest dividends and distributions purchase additional shares at net asset value on the payable date.


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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
