Annual ReportMay 31, 2007

Fellow Shareowners:

This June 23rd marked Amana Income Fund's 21st anniversary, at the end of the best year of its history. Amana Income Fund provided a stellar 24.31% return for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, attracting thousands of new investors. Total assets more than tripled to $234 million, and Amana Income is now a true "grown up."

Younger but bigger "little brother" Amana Growth Fund's total return was also robust, at 21.54%. It was, of course, a good year for the markets, as the S&P 500 Index returned 22.79% and the Dow Jones Islamic Market US Index returned 22.09% [dividends omitted] for the same period.

Mutual fund rating services, such as Lipper and Morningstar, focus on returns over the last 3, 5 and 10 years rather than just one year. Please refer to the next page for the awards earned by Amana Income and Saturna Capital in this past year for excellent longer-term performance results.

Helped by new investors plus market appreciation, total Trust assets grew dramatically: 158% to $748 million at May 31. This compares with 205% and 65% in each of the two previous fiscal years. Please find details of each Fund's operations and May 31 investment portfolios on the following pages.

Higher assets benefit shareowners as fixed expenses are spread over more accounts. The Income Fund's operating expense ratio declined to 1.37%, and the larger Growth Fund's expense ratio dropped to 1.36%. Effective this August, new "breakpoint" provisions in the Funds' advisory contracts will help lower expense ratios further as assets grow.

Remember that all mutual fund total returns are after their operating expenses. Payments to third-party intermediaries increased sharply, as investors took advantage of their services. The low portfolio turnover ratios and the waiver of all portfolio brokerage commissions continue, to the benefit of fund performance.

The higher assets allowed the Funds to increase their investments in many solid companies as well as pursue greater portfolio diversification. Both Funds favor companies with strong financial histories and robust outlooks for the future. This year, companies in the Energy, Mining, Steel, Technology, and Health industries favored by the Funds all did well.

The Funds also diversify globally with approximately 23% of each portfolio invested in non-USA equities. The international exposure benefited both Funds during the year, but does add an element of risk from currency fluctuations.

Stock markets worldwide performed very well for the last 5 years, and many indices are in record territory. This makes us nervous, and investors need to ask if the markets are overpriced. In general, we think prices will still advance. Price-multiples are about equal to the average since the 1930's, and while dividends are slightly below historical means the amounts continue to be broadly increased as profit levels remain high. There are storm clouds in every forecast, of course, and the slide in both housing prices and the US dollar could derail the economy.

While garnering awards and accolades brings with it a sense of accomplishment and pride, Fund management's primary focus remains long-term, value investing. The Amana Funds benefited this year by adhering to this approach. However, shareowners are cautioned that these exceptional results may not continue in the future. The Funds discourage speculation with a 30-day early redemption fee. It is crucial for investors to understand that long-term growth comes with risk and volatility.

We welcome your questions, and invite you to visit www.amanafunds.com or call 1-888/73-AMANA.

Fund Ratings & Awards:

The last year provided much excitement for Amana's shareowners. Between the Income Fund's Lipper Fund Award¹ and Best U.S. Equity Fund 2006 Failaka Award², Saturna Capital's Failaka Award and so much press even we could hardly believe it, we still found time to remain Sharia compliant and provide solid returns.

As of May 31, 2007, the U.S. mutual fund rating service, Morningstar, honored Amana by awarding both Funds their highest rating: * * * * * Overall. The strong performance history of both Funds is also illustrated in their high "% Rank in category" standings. Here are the details³:

¹ Source: Lipper Inc., A Reuters Company. Lipper Inc. is a nationally recognized organization that ranks performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are based on past performance with capital gains and dividends reinvested. The Amana Income Fund received a 2007 Lipper Award for its 3 year performance among 180 funds in the Equity Income category.

² The Failaka criteria for the 2006 awards for "Best U.S. Fund Manager" and "Best Equity Fund - U.S" are:

The fund company must: Have been duly nominated by fully and accurately completing the required nomination form; Have been established for over 5-years as a Sharia compliant fund manager; Have provided a consistent and long-term return relative to prevailing market conditions; Manage more than one Sharia compliant fund; Have surpassed the benchmark for its equity fund(s) in the year for which the award is given.

In the case of a tie, credence is given to: the higher returning fund/family of funds; the better relative performance as compared to the relevant benchmark; asset growth over the past year; any notable achievement or advancement in the field of Islamic compliant asset management.

³ Source: Morningstar. Morningstar is a leading provider of independent research on mutual funds and other securities. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the next 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

Morningstar calculates total return by taking the change in a fund's NAV, assuming the reinvestment of all income and capital gains distributions (on the actual reinvestment date used by the fund) during the period, and then dividing by the initial NAV. Unless marked as load-adjusted total returns, Morningstar does not adjust total return for sales charges or for redemption fees. (Morningstar Return, Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Ratings, and the load-adjusted returns do incorporate those fees.) Total returns do account for management, administrative, and 12b-1 fees and other costs automatically deducted from fund assets.

% Rank in Category: This is the fund's total-return 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance:

The performance of each Fund is determined by its investments as well as general market conditions. Islamic restrictions impact the types of investments available to the Funds, as do the objectives of capital preservation and current income (Amana Income) and long-term capital growth (Amana Growth). The Funds do not receive 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 tend to "buy and hold" portfolio securities, in part because rapid trading could be seen as gambling.

Amana Income Fund:

For the year ended May 31, 2007, Amana Income Fund's total return was +24.31% (versus +21.17% the year before). Two income dividends totaling 19.7¢ per share and two capital gain distributions totalling 40.7¢ per share were paid during the year. Higher assets reduced the operating expense ratio to 1.37% from 1.49%.

The Fund is concentrated in basic and cyclical industries. Energy (EnCana, Exxon Mobil) and resource (BHP, Rio Tinto) issues performed very well, reflecting higher commodity prices. Steel (Nucor, US Steel) and railroad (Burlington Northern) companies, boosted by continuing world-wide economic expansion, also did well. The largest industry is still utilities, but its percentage of the portfolio (10%) declined as new issues were added. FPL, a large producer of electricity from renewable sources, remains a favorite. Telecommunications (especially foreign companies like Telus and Vodafone) continues to benefit from world economic expansion. The Fund only buys equity securities paying dividends, primarily of larger and more established companies. The rising interest rates of the last three years have not hurt the Fund as much as other income funds because we avoid financial issues like banks and favor low-debt companies in our selections.

Amana Growth Fund:

The Amana Growth Fund's total return was +21.54% (vs. + 20.95% the year before). By policy, the Fund seeks to avoid paying income dividends. Markedly higher assets reduced the operating expense ratio to 1.36% from 1.41%.

Amana Growth's portfolio is weighted towards technology. Medical companies, where R & D is a big part of the business, are our largest industry (Genentech, Amgen, VCA Antech). Prosperous computer companies (especially Apple, but also Hewlett-Packard and IBM) contributed a huge part to our success. We have increased allocation in retailing (Best Buy, American Eagle Outfitters) and food production (Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, PepsiCo), consistent with our balanced, value approach.

Higher interest rates are cooling sectors of the economy, such as construction, where we remain exposed because of the solid values and expectation that the rate cycle is nearing a peak. Worldwide productivity has kept inflation low for several years, but higher energy prices and labor costs are beginning to impact expectations. Growing corporate earnings and high market liquidity, the foundations of rising stock prices, both foretell long-term stock appreciation.
