April 25, 1996 The Nottingham Investment Trust 105 North Washington Street Post office Drawer 8315 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804-1315 Ladies and Gentlemen: This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with your Registration Statement on Form N-lA under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under which you have registered an indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In particular, this opinion relates to the notice which you are filing under Rule 24f-2 ("Rule 24f-2 Notice") which makes definite in number the 528,575 shares of beneficial interest which you sold in the year ended February 29, 1996 (the "Shares") (135,549 shares of CarolinasFund Investor Class, 1,955 shares of CarolinasFund Institutional Class, 48,391 shares of Greater Cincinnati Fund Class A, 11 shares of Greater Cincinnati Fund Class B, 47,534 shares of Amelia Earhart: Eagle Equity Fund, 115,782 shares of Legacy Equity Fund, 132,212 shares of Mississippi Opportunity Fund Class A, and 47,141 shares of Mississippi Opportunity Fund Class B). We have made such inquiry of your officers and trustees and have examined such corporate documents, records and certificates and other documents and such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. In rendering this opinion, we have relied, with your approval, as to all questions of fact material to this opinion, upon certificates of public officials and of your officers and have assumed, with your approval, that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, which facts we have not independently verified. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares were legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. With respect to the opinion stated above, we wish to point out that the shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust may, under some circumstances, be subject to assessment at the instance of creditors to pay the obligations of such trust in the event that its assets are insufficient for the purpose. We hereby consent to your attaching this opinion to the Rule 24f- 2 Notice and making it a part thereof. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. Very truly yours, POYNER & SPRUILL, L.L.P. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
