Chairman’s Letter to the Shareholders |
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although many concerns, including rising fuel costs, weighed on investor’s minds during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, stocks posted gains for the fiscal period. Recognized benchmarks for this period support positive returns for equities with the S&P 500® Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) up 8.63%, the Russell 1000® Growth Index up 6.12% and the Russell 2000® Index for small capitalized companies under $1.3 billion up 14.58%. Bonds posted negative returns for the fiscal period as demonstrated by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index which returned -0.81%. Domestically, small and mid-cap stocks generally outperformed their large-cap counterparts.
Among the developments that affected markets and the economy during this fiscal year review were:
| | |
| • | Hurricane Katrina, which devastated several Gulf Coast states last August and dealt a short-term setback to consumer confidence. However, consumer confidence rebounded toward the end of the period, with analysts crediting the resiliency of the economy and job growth for this trend. |
|
| • | The Federal Reserve continued it’s tightening policy, raising the key federal funds target rate to 4.75% by the end of the reporting period. Many analysts believed that the central bank was near the end of its tightening policy as Ben Bernanke succeeded the retiring Alan Greenspan as fed chairman in early 2006. |
|
| • | The markets monitored the North Korea missile tests and continued spending in the Iraq war closely with no apparent closure as of this fiscal report. |
Notwithstanding these developments in the markets, and the positive stock gains noted, shareholders are cautioned to maintain a long-term perspective. I believe the key to successful investing is the constant assessment of one’s risk tolerance, time horizon for investment, and specific goals. Whether your goal is retirement, a child or grandchild’s education, each investor has a unique set of circumstances. Regardless of circumstance, the less you heed from financial media pundits and other short-term noise, the more likely you are to attain long-term goals.
The Quaker Fund’s family of employees and independent managers remain committed to helping each shareholder attain their long-term investing goals. Quaker managers continue to be recognized nationally for their competitive risk-adjusted returns. While our success is dependent on many factors, there is no greater success than the support of each shareholder. We thank you for your faith and confidence in the Quaker Funds.
Sincerely,
David K. Downes
Independent Chairman
Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (QUAGX, QAGBX, QAGCX, QAGIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
Fund seeks to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of domestic U.S. companies which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes show a high probability for superior growth.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, the S&P 500® Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) (a broad based market proxy) generated an 8.63% return. For the eighth consecutive year in a row, Quaker Strategic Growth Fund outperformed the S&P 500 with a total return of 13.66%.*
During the fiscal year, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates eight times due to the strength in the domestic economy. By the end of the year, central banks in Europe and Japan joined the Federal Reserve in raising interest rates as well. This tightening by the OECD countries led to a sharp correction in equity markets worldwide as investors reacted to the possibility of a global economic slowdown.
At this time, the jury is still out as to whether the rise in OECD interest rates will cause a slowdown in the rapidly growing BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries. Domestic consumption in the BRIC block continues to be robust, and export growth (in China and India for example) is still strong. However, the recent spike in energy costs due to global instability (Iran, North Korea and the Middle East) has a high probability of putting a brake on Indian and Chinese economies as their energy bills rise (Russia and Brazil are somewhat insulated since Russia is a large oil producer and Brazil has made a tremendous switch to alternative energy sources like ethanol).
In response to the sharp market rally in the first quarter of 2006 and our concerns about overly optimistic near-term growth expectations on the part of market participants, we initiated a program to reduce the overall risk exposure of the portfolio. As part of this effort, we raised the cash level in the Fund, which stood at 51% as of 6/30/06. We expect cash levels to remain elevated until earnings expectations are revised to take into account the slower growth that should be expected in the domestic economy going forward. At the same time, we believe that continued economic development in the aforementioned BRIC countries is inevitable and we have maintained our overweights in the portfolio in energy, materials, and global telecommunications. We remain underweight in consumer non-durables and technology due to a lack of end-demand visibility, and are also underweight in healthcare stocks due to their elevated valuations.
In conclusion, we believe that we are entering a period of heightened volatility in the global equity markets. We firmly believe, however, that our opportunistic multi-capitalization investment approach should give us the flexibility to face the numerous challenges that lie ahead.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT 3
Quaker Core Equity Fund (QUCEX, QCEBX, QCECX, QCEIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of domestic U.S. companies with large market capitalizations which the sub-adviser believes have strong fundamentals, increasing sales and earnings, a conservative balance sheet and reasonable expectations of continued earnings increases.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
Over the previous 12 months (ended June 30, 2006), the Fund returned 9.57%* versus the Russell 1000® Growth Index of 6.12%. The overall market (S&P 500 Index) returned 8.63% as value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. Large capitalization stocks underperformed their small capitalization peers as small growth stocks (Russell 2000 Growth Index) returned 14.58% during this time period. Overall, we were once again happy to outperform a growth index.
This year’s outperformance, relative to both the S&P and the Russell 2000 Growth Index, was due to the Fund’s significant over-weights with “growth-at-a-price” stocks. We are in the process of tilting slightly more towards less volatile stocks — or in academic jargon — lower “beta” equities. The reason is that globally, there is liquidity being taken out of the markets by all central banks, meaning that an investor has to be even more certain of future expectations than before. The market, over the next twelve months, will likely be characterized by extreme volatility and extreme punishment for bad news. Given the current interest rates, we believe the market is “fairly” valued, but still has a little too much optimism built into its earnings forecasts. Accordingly, the Fund’s sector weights should remain high in the Energy sector (a cash flow machine), the Financial sector (the worst of the interest rate increases are behind them), and the Industrial sector (overweight of the Capital Equipment cycle). We will continue to be underweight in the Health Care sector, as we feel the large pharmaceuticals still face another couple of years of bad product cycle.
The Fund will rotate in and out of stocks due to valuation parameters, and also due to earnings surprises/ revisions. We will continue to emphasize lower p/e’s and higher growth, but we will slightly tilt the portfolio towards lower beta stocks. To summarize, we like the Fund for a market we do not like.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT 5
Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund (QSGAX, QSGBX, QSGCX, QSGIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks with market capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
It was a very big year for small growth stocks, as the Russell 2000 Growth Index was up 14.58% for the last twelve months versus the S&P 500 Index being up 8.63%. In this type of market, the Fund returned 12.32%.* This was done with stocks that were less volatile than the index, and with stocks that were more “growth-at-a-price” and not “earnings momentum” companies.
As the market has become very volatile recently, some changes need to be implemented in the Fund. With central banks globally taking liquidity out of the market, there will be an even greater emphasis on cash flow, cheaper valuation, and avoiding negative earnings surprises. This is due to the fact that markets characterized by a drain in liquidity often times punish “bad news” severely, while not rewarding “good news”. In the next six to twelve months, the Fund will be geared to avoiding losers almost exclusively.
Accordingly, the Fund will be larger than the Small Cap Index, have a lower p/e, and have a better growth profile. Lower “beta” names will drift into the Fund. We believe a premium will be put on these stocks by a risk adverse marketplace. However, our sector bets will remain the same, as we will overweight Energy (a cash flow machine), overweight Industrials (emphasize the Capital Equipment cycle over the Consumer cycle), and overweight the Financial sector (earnings are being revised up faster). Given these biases, we feel the Fund, with our more conservative management, is positioned to perform well versus the Small Growth Index going forward.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT 7
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (QUKTX, QCOBX, QCOCX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks long-term capital growth. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in a limited number of securities which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes show a high probability for superior growth.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund underperformed the S&P 500, 7.05%* vs. 8.63%. The first six-month period was characterized by strong outperformance by the Fund, as the long-held overweight position in the Energy sector was well rewarded. Supply/demand imbalances drove energy prices higher, further exacerbated by the unprecedented hurricane season. In the first half of 2006, however, a strong market rally surpassed the Fund’s returns, owing to the defensive positioning of the Fund and its significant exposure to the lagging Healthcare sector.
During the first six months of 2006, investors saw a “reversal of fortunes” in the stock market, as the once-highflying averages came down to earth — and then some — visiting negative territory for a brief time. For the first four months of the year, the “Goldilocks” effect was in force, that is, every piece of economic and market news was seemingly being viewed positively, with no account being taken of the mounting risks. The risks that we had identified at the beginning of the year (and which were the basis for our defensive positioning), are now at least being weighed by the market. The first key risk is the Fed; with the Fed Funds rate now above 5%, the Fed is in “restrictive” mode, in our view, and a significant slowing in GDP growth in the second half of 2006 is now likely. Another major risk is that of the trajectory of consumer spending. Relative to 2005, the consumer is now facing higher borrowing costs, higher energy costs, and a potential “negative wealth effect” from lower home prices. Inflation is also moving higher, and a weaker dollar poses a threat.
The Fund is positioned with these risks in mind and, as always, with your principal preservation as our first priority.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT 9
Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (QBPAX, QBPBX, CBPCX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests in stocks of companies that have attractive growth prospects resulting from leading edge product research and development that are engaged in the development, production or distribution of biotechnology, healthcare and pharmaceutical products and services.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
The last twelve months have been challenging from an investment point-of-view. Economic uncertainties have reigned in investor enthusiasm and resulted in a flight to safe havens, particularly during the second quarter of 2006. As a result, biotech stocks have performed modestly over the last 12 months, +7.60% as measured by the Nasdaq Biotech Index (“NBI”), despite generally positive developments at the industry level. A number of significant drug approvals have occurred over the last 12 months. Clinical progress has been noteworthy in numerous therapeutic areas, including cancer, diabetes, hepatitis C, rare genetic diseases and eye disorders. On the regulatory front, Andrew von Eschenbach was appointed Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, alleviating concerns about a leaderless agency. Additionally, a regulatory tightening or slowdown — commonly expected following the Vioxx and Chiron flu vaccine events of late 2004 — does not seem to have materialized as innovative and differentiated drugs targeting areas of high unmet medical need (typically those developed by the biotech industry) do not seem to have been unnecessarily held up.
For the 12 months ended June 30, 2006, Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund’s performance was up 2.14%* reflecting the cautious stance adopted given the difficult market conditions. Indeed, this performance was achieved with an average net long exposure of 50-60% and volatility about 25% lower than that of the NBI. The long side and the short side each provided about 1% to the performance of the Fund.
Although short-term performance might continue to be challenging if investors continue to focus on global economic uncertainties, we are confident in the out performance of biotech over the longer term as fundamentals continue to improve, particularly as valuations are now at a 10 year low with large caps and emerging biotechs both trading below 24x and 6x forward earning and sales, respectively.

Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (QMCVX, QMCBX, QMCCX, QMVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks or securities convertible into common stocks of companies with market capitalizations similar to the market capitalization of the companies included in the Russell MidCap® Value Index.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
The Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund ended its fiscal year on June 30, 2006 with the Fund returning 10.32%.* This was less than the Russell MidCap Value Index return of 14.26%, but ahead of the S&P 500 Index return of 8.63%.
In 1990, we conducted a study of those factors that influence equity prices. This study concluded that Quality, Value and Business Prospects have the greatest influence on equity prices. We conducted this study again in 1998 and again last year. And each time the results led to the same conclusion.
Our disciplined approach creates a 40 stock portfolio that has a lower beta than the market. Our portfolios have a lower debt-to-equity ratio, high credit quality scores and lower earnings variability than the market. Our portfolios have a lower Price-to-Earnings ratio, higher projected growth rates and higher net profit margins than the market. We identify undervalued companies to enhance returns and high quality companies to mitigate risk. Over the last 30 years, high quality companies have just slightly out-performed low quality companies, but they have done so with 1/3 less risk.
The Fund enjoyed considerable out-performance against its benchmark for the first 10 months of the fiscal year, but the sell-off that began in May has been troubling. Quality has not had the impact on performance that a rising interest rate environment would suggest. Equity valuations of companies with highly levered balance sheets have not suffered as the cost of capital has risen.
We thank you for your participation in the Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund. Our first mandate is to provide you with out-performance in 3 out of 4 quarters, 3 out of 4 years and by 600 basis points or more. Our second mandate is to provide you with clear and concise high quality reporting so that you can analyze and understand how we generate your performance. We are loyal to these disciplines.

Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (QUSVX, QSVBX, QSVCX, QSVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of domestic U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to the market capitalizations of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index and Russell 2500® Index.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
It was a good year in both absolute and relative terms. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund’s performance was up 16.76%* while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market) returned 14.58%. We aim to outperform our benchmark after fees and expenses, and indeed, we did. While we can’t guarantee such performance every year, our track record shows that we have been able to achieve it over the long run.
What we can guarantee is an investment strategy that is value oriented and disciplined. AJO maintains a fully invested, diversified portfolio of attractive small-cap stocks. The economic outlook — ours or anyone else’s — plays no role in the Fund’s structure; instead, our work seeks well-managed companies with quality cash profits, relatively low market valuations, and positive price and earnings momentum. As we search for opportunities, we keep a keen eye on minimizing transaction costs, enabling us to realize the profits from superior stock selection.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT 15
Geewax Terker Core Value Fund (QUGTX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation through the prudent investment of securities issued by companies considered by the sub-adviser to be “value” oriented companies. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
The past twelve-month period ended June 30, 2006, has been a favorable one for the Fund. The Fund handily beat the Russell 1000 Value Index 21.42%* versus 12.10% for the Index. The S&P 500 was only up 8.63% for this period. Our valuation discipline, which not only considers an estimated p/e but also an estimated growth rate, allowed us to tilt towards “growth-at-a-price” companies that delivered excess returns not only via a p/e expansion, but also through an EPS increase.
The Fund is overweight in the Industrial sector, and slightly overweight in the Technology sector, while underweight in Energy and Financials. In the current environment characterized by higher interest rates and global liquidity being drained from the system via central banks, we will be decreasing our Technology overweight and increasing both our Energy and Financial sector weights. The former is due to the high cash flow within the Energy sector, and the later is due to their fundamental cheapness on any valuation parameter.
Our emphasis will continue to be on a “growth-at-a-price” strategy as we are still in a global growth cycle driven by Investment/ Capital Equipment spending. We feel that we will be able to have a lower risk profile via valuation, and lower “beta”, and can still have a better growth profile. Although we are not happy with the overall stock market at the current time, we are happy with our valuation approach and the course it has directed us in. Accordingly, we will be underweighted in the higher dividend yielding stocks (especially REITs), as we feel their total expected return (Yield + Growth) is much lower than other companies in the Fund. Our growth-at-a-price tilt should distinguish us again in the coming year.

The Russell 1000 Value Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged market capitalization index comprised of the largest 1000 companies represented in the Russell 3000® Index. The Index currently represents approximately 92% of the market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index, with a market capitalization range from $1.6 billion to $4.0 billion. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
2006 ANNUAL REPORT 17
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the (six-month) period and held for the entire period January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each of the Funds. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the applicable line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example For Comparison Purposes
The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
Note 1 — Organization
The Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”), a diversified, open-end management investment company, was organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust on October 24, 1990, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended as an open-end management investment company. The Trust’s amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Trust has established eight series: Quaker Core Equity Fund, Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund, Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, and Geewax Terker Core Value Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below.
Quaker Core Equity Fund (“Core Equity”), Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (“Strategic Growth”), and Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (“Small-Cap Value”) all commenced operations on November 25, 1996. Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value”) commenced operations on December 31, 1997. Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund (“Small-Cap Growth”) commenced operations on September 18, 2000. The investment objective of these Funds is to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of domestic U.S. companies.
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (“Capital Opportunities”) commenced operations on January 31, 2002. The investment objective of this Fund is to seek long-term capital growth.
Geewax Terker Core Value Fund (“Core Value”) commenced operations on March 26, 2002. The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation through the prudent investment of securities issued by companies considered by the sub-adviser to be “value” oriented companies.
Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (“Biotech”) commenced operations on September 23, 2002. The investment objective of this Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
Core Equity, Strategic Growth, Small-Cap Value, Mid-Cap Value, and Small-Cap Growth offer four classes of shares (Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares). Class A shares are charged a front-end sales charge and a distribution and servicing fee; Class B shares bear a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that declines to zero over an average of seven years coupled with additional distribution and servicing fees; Class C shares bear an additional distribution and servicing fee and a CDSC of 1% for a period of thirteen months; and Institutional Class shares bear no front-end sales charges or CDSC’s, but have higher minimum investment limitations.
Capital Opportunities and Biotech offer Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Core Value offers Class A shares.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. The Funds’ investments in securities are carried at market value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are generally valued at the last quoted sales price at the time of valuation. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Each security reported on the Nasdaq National Market System is valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price.
The Funds have adopted fair valuation procedures to value securities at fair market value in certain circumstances and have established a Valuation Committee responsible for determining when fair valuing a security is necessary and appropriate. The Funds will value securities at fair market value when market quotations are not readily available or when securities cannot be accurately valued within established pricing procedures. The Valuation Committee may also fair value foreign securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading in their respective markets but prior to the time the Fund holding the foreign securities calculates its net asset value. The Fund’s fair valuation procedures are designed to help ensure that prices at which Fund shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders.
Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.
B. Federal Income Taxes. It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and income tax purposes primarily due to investments which have a different basis for financial statement and income tax purposes. The
2006 ANNUAL REPORT 61
Notes to the Financial Statements |
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains were recorded by each Fund. Temporary differences that result in over-distribution for financial statement purposes are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized gains. Permanent differences in the recognition of earnings are reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Distributions in excess of tax-basis earnings are recorded as a return of capital.
C. Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification cost method. Interest income on debt securities is recorded daily on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as information is available to the Fund. Rebate income on short proceeds is recorded on an accrual basis.
Strategic Growth and Biotech make short sales of investments, which are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The broker retains the proceeds of short sales to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements until the short position is closed out.
D. Option Writing. Strategic Growth, Capital Opportunities, and Biotech may write options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
E. Foreign Currency Translation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based on the prevailing rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates applicable to foreign securities are not reported separately from gains and losses arising from movements in securities prices.
Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than portfolio securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
F. Multiple Class Allocations. Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class bears different distribution and shareholder servicing expenses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
G. Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net realized gains through October 31 of that calendar year. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund may make a supplemental distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending June 30.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
H. 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I. Indemnifications. Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect this risk of loss to be remote.

The undistributed ordinary income, capital gains and carryforward losses shown above differ from the corresponding accumulated net investment income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) figures reported in the statements of assets and liabilities due to differing book/tax treatment of short-term capital gains, and certain temporary book/tax differences such as the deferral of realized losses on wash sales and net losses realized after October 31st.
Under current tax law, foreign currency and net capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Funds elected to defer net capital and currency losses as indicated in the chart below.
At June 30, 2006, the capital loss carryovers for the Funds were as follows:

The Quaker Investment Trust
Malvern, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Core Equity Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and Geewax Terker Core Value Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust, as of June 30, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 June 30, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An 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 the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Core Equity Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and Geewax Terker Core Value Fund, as of June 30, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
