Chairman’s Letter to the Shareholders
June 30, 2007
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders of the Quaker Funds for the year ended June 30, 2007. Fiscal year 2007 (July 1, 2006 — June 30, 2007) presented numerous challenges for the Quaker Funds. An economy affected by the war in Iraq, an inverted Treasury yield curve, an unstable domestic housing market and general uncertainty about interest rates created a difficult environment for investors and investment managers alike.
In mid 2006, our organization entered into new service provider agreements for custody, fund accounting, fund administration, transfer agency and distribution. After a thorough screening and pricing process, the Trustees chose Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. for custody, fund accounting and fund administration and U.S.Bancorp Fund Services, LLC for transfer agency and distribution. The transition of all of these services to our new providers was completed in December. We believe these changes will result in more efficient and lower cost services. Additionally, our Audit Committee chose to hire a new auditing firm. After a diligent selection process, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was selected. We feel very strongly that all of the above changes will increase our ability to serve you, our shareholders, as we grow in the future.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the shareholders and fellow board members for the opportunity to serve as independent chairman for the Quaker Investment Trust. It has been a pleasure to work with the Quaker Funds’ Board and Fund management for the past several years. Now that the funds are serviced by well respected providers and are on a clear course for the future, I have decided to resign from the Quaker Board effective August 1, 2007. Upon my resignation, the Board has asked me to take the title of Chairman Emeritus, and I am pleased to accept. The Quaker Funds are well positioned to advance to the next level with the guidance of the remaining Board members and Fund management. I wish the Quaker Funds team and shareholders all of the best for the future.
The Quaker Funds continue to strive to provide the shareholders with exceptional, institutional quality, entrepreneurial asset managers. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we thank you for placing your trust in us.
Sincerely,
David K. Downes
Independent Chairman

Performance Update
Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (QUAGX, QAGBX, QAGCX, QAGIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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 ended June 30, 2007, the S&P® 500 Total Return Index (“S&P 500”), a broad based market proxy, generated a 20.59% return. The Quaker Strategic Growth Fund finished the year with a total return of 18.68%*. Despite good calendar 2007 performance, the Fund could not keep pace with the index over the last year mainly due to defensive positioning last summer and overweights in the energy, materials and industrial sectors (which lagged the market) in the third quarter of 2006. For the first half of calendar year 2007, the S&P 500 gained 6.96% while the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund’s performance was up 15.67%.
The recent strength of the equity markets has been driven by three major factors. First is the merger and acquisition activity by financial (a.k.a. private equity funds) and strategic corporate buyers. This has placed a “floor” under the market because investors are constantly valuing companies at a premium over current prices based on recent buy-out prices. Second is the continued acceleration of economic growth in Asian, Middle Eastern and South American countries. This growth has been a tailwind to export oriented companies around the globe as well as to industrial and commodity related companies. Third is the current valuation of the market, which at 16 times forward earnings almost looks fair when compared to recent historical stock market overvaluations.
We continue to believe that U.S. domestic demand will remain weak and perhaps get even weaker as 2007 progresses. At the same time, we also believe that global demand will be strong due to the economic development that is occurring in Asia and the rising export revenues that are accruing to commodity based countries like Brazil, Russia and Saudi Arabia. If one extrapolates the conclusion of a recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, it appears that import growth on the part of export-oriented countries could continue for at least two more years. This of course is good news for export-oriented companies in the U.S. and Europe. Going forward, we will continue to be overweight companies that we believe will benefit from export markets or long-cycle spending and underweight companies that are exposed to discretionary consumer spending and finance related areas.

Performance Update
Quaker Core Equity Fund (QUEX, QCEBX, QCECX, QCEIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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 of U.S. companies with market capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Fund’s return of 9.51%* versus 8.13% for the Russell 1000® Growth Index was not enough to overcome a dismal second half of 2006. This left the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 at 12.55%* versus 19.04% for the index. Our approach to valuation, growth-at-a-reasonable-price, was not rewarded, whereas, low price-to-book and low price-to-earnings were rewarded, irrespective of their future prospects. Our approach led us to have good earnings surprises and visibility at a reasonable price, but these companies were not rewarded for surprising the marketplace.
The last twelve months have actually been a study of two different markets: the last half of 2006 was driven by stocks with no good earnings news and the returns in the first half of 2007 were determined by earnings surprises. Accordingly, although the Fund underperformed for the last half of last year, it has recently seen some improvement.
As of June 30, 2007, we are continuing our emphasis on growth-at-a-reasonable-price stocks, as well as lower volatility stocks. This has been the stance of our portfolio during the last three years, and we expect it to continue for the next few quarters, at least. Given that current interest rates do not seem to be heading any lower, valuation is becoming even more important for investors’ returns. Likewise, as the market is getting a little more risky, volatility is not being rewarded. Accordingly, we will continue to emphasize lower volatility stocks. Given our bias for growth-at-a-reasonable-price and lower volatility, we will continue to take slight sector bets relative to the index.
The most striking underweight will continue to be the consumer discretionary sector. As long as the earnings and sales growth for this sector remain lower than their price/earnings warrant, we will be underweighted in this group. We intend to overemphasize slightly the energy sector, and even more so the financial sector. The energy sector is showing tremendous growth in revenues and earnings, which does not seem to want to slow down at all. We believe that the financial sector (insurance and investment banking) offers the best value in the stock market. Until the earnings season reveals itself, we will maintain a market weighting on the economically sensitive sectors of technology, material, and capital equipment, with our selections geared towards the export market. In fact, we expect international sales/earnings to be a larger component of your portfolio in the future, as the global economy grows at a faster rate than our domestic economy.
As we continuously rebalance the Fund’s portfolio, our turnover will be higher than it has been in the past, as relative valuation is very important to total returns and the volatility of the marketplace allows for more advantageous intraday trading. Although disappointed in our second half performance in calendar year 2006, we are nevertheless encouraged by our recent snapback and plan to stay the course with our current biases.

Performance Update
Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund (QSGAX, QSGBX, QSGCX, QSGIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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 U.S. common stocks with market capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the twelve-months ended June 30, 2007, the Fund returned 12.44%* versus 16.83% for the Russell 2000® Growth Index. The entire underperformance occurred during the third quarter of 2006, when companies that we viewed as too risky, or as having too much negative sentiment/news, significantly outperformed those stocks that we invested in and which we believe offered a better risk/return tradeoff, or better earnings or valuations. Our overweight in the energy sector for the fiscal year was not rewarded as this sector was the worst performing sector. Likewise, our underweight in the consumer discretionary sector proved costly as this sector was one of the better performing ones. We have stayed with our risk-avoidance approach, and have slowly made up the underperformance of the third quarter 2006.
As we continue to focus on lower risk small growth companies, we have continued to underweight the consumer discretionary and the healthcare sectors; the former for its slower revenue and earnings growth, and the latter for its earnings disappointments and uncertainty. We are slightly overweighted in the economically sensitive sectors (technology/capital equipment/materials) as well as financials and energy. These sector tilts will continue into the near future, as we believe the consumer growth to be much less than other sectors in the marketplace.
Given the uncertainty in the marketplace, as well as increased riskiness in earnings forecasts, we continue to focus on growth-at-a-reasonable-price companies. With this emphasis, we should avoid most negative surprises in the upcoming earnings season, which we feel is very important given the level of interest rates, relative level of valuation multiples and the uncertainty surrounding earnings/revenue announcements. Given this uncertainty, the best investments are normally the best companies within each sector, or, as we believe, the most undervalued within each sector. Accordingly, the Fund is mainly invested this way, except for the two sectors mentioned above (consumer discretionary and healthcare), which have declining relative growth (as in the case of consumer discretionary), and very uncertain earnings (as in the case of the healthcare sector).
Overall, we intend to stay the course with our fundamental bets until there is more clarity as to the overall earnings and revenues in the domestic economy.

Performance Update
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (QUKTX, QCOBX, QCOCX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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, 2007, the Fund underperformed the S&P 500, gaining 9.67%* vs. 20.59% for the S&P 500. As we predicted at the beginning of 2006, the economy experienced a significant slowdown during the past twelve months, as GDP growth moderated to just above a 2% pace in the second half of 2006 and barely registered any growth in the first quarter of 2007 (+0.7%). We believe that the correction in the housing market that is taking place will lead to a further retrenchment on the part of the consumer and this underpins our defensive positioning of the Fund during the period.
This defensive positioning, however, was not rewarded during the prior twelve months. Our overweightings in consumer staples and healthcare hampered our relative performance, and we had low exposure to some of the best-performing sectors, such as telecom and energy. We substantially reduced our energy holdings in mid-2006, feeling that the combination of record inventory levels of commodities, coupled with slowing demand, was not setting the stage for outperformance of the stocks in this sector. Our underexposure to the financial sector, however, was beneficial. Our concerns regarding credit-quality deterioration, the inverted yield curve, and the sub-prime mortgage fallout were confirmed as these factors weighed on many of the subgroups within the financial sector. Our overweighting of the materials sector was also advantageous. Additionally, our holdings in the industrial gases segment have exhibited excellent fundamentals and commensurate stock-price moves.
As the economy slows and the rate of corporate earnings growth weakens throughout 2007, we believe that the Fund’s emphasis on predictable, stable-growth companies will be justly rewarded. Additionally, the sharp increase in market volatility that we are now seeing has historically been favorable for high-quality stocks and those in “defensive” sectors —another potential tailwind for the Fund. While downside protection — the hallmark of the Knott Capital approach — has not been at a premium in the current market cycle, we believe it warrants even greater consideration in the months to come.

Performance Update
Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (QBPAX, QBPBX, CBPCX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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
Biotech stocks, up 8.05% over the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 as measured by the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (“NBI”), have not faired as well as the broader markets because of investor, political and regulatory concerns and focus on other market sectors. Despite these short- to mid-term issues, we believe the long-term prospects for the industry remain solid.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, the Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund’s performance was 9.51%*. This performance was achieved with a volatility about 25% lower than that of the NBI.
Beginning with the Democratic congressional victory in November, investor concerns focused largely on political and regulatory developments. It is our belief that significantly adverse changes to the biotech industry will not be achievable unilaterally by the current Congress. The re-authorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act is on track for its September 2007 deadline — a positive for the sector. And finally, noise on biogenerics — a variety of competing biogeneric bills working their way through Congress — has intensified. Our expectation is that the effects of generics on biologic drugs will be significantly more muted as compared to their chemical generic counterparts.
We believe that the solid long-term prospects for the biotech industry are reinforced by a number of issues. First, valuations, at ten-year historic lows for both large-cap and mid-cap biotech companies, are very attractive. This was reinforced by a particularly heated merger & acquisition environment over the last twelve months with deals such as Merck buying RNAi technology company Sirna for a 100% premium and AstraZeneca buying biotech large cap MedImmune for a 50% premium. In addition, the industry has continued to demonstrate significant productivity in getting new treatments approved for significant unmet medical needs. A few examples include Alexion’s Soliris (for a rare blood disorder, Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria), Gilead’s Letairis (for pulmonary arterial hypertension) and Atripla (for HIV), and Speedel’s Tekturna (for hypertension). All represent significant advances over current standard of care.
We expect these positive trends to continue. We believe sales and earnings growth should continue to grow at double digits for the next few years. We believe that the potential for long-term outperformance of the biotech industry is also supported by demographics — the aging population and their increased drug utilization — as well as therapeutic innovation to ease the fiscal pressure of disease management.

Performance Update
Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (QMCVX, QMCBX, QMCCX, QMVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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 with market capitalizations comparable to those 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, 2007 with a return of 14.51%* versus 22.09% for the benchmark Russell MidCap® Value Index. The Fund suffered a difficult second half of 2006 like so many other funds, as the end of 17 continuous interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Bank signaled the economy was slowing and a recession was looming, based on historical experience, in nine to twelve months. Twelve months have passed, however, and there is no indication of a recession as far as we can see.
With the perception of a softening economy on the horizon, many top-down equity managers played defense and moved to overweight positions in utility and consumer staples companies during the third and fourth quarters of 2006. However, we believed that most utility stocks were not worthy of high-quality ratings because they had high debt-to-equity ratios and very low profit margins. Moreover we believed that valuations were a problem in the consumer staples universe. Consequently, we underweighted the Fund’s exposure to the sectors and focused on high-quality stocks that were undervalued, but with what we believed were improving business prospects. Unfortunately, utility and consumer staples companies outperformed during the second half of 2006 and were a principal reason for the Fund’s underperformance during that period.
During the reporting period, we continued to maintain a portfolio that was focused on the global economy and held overweight sector positions in industrials, materials, and technology, market weightings in healthcare, energy, and financials while underweighting consumer and utility stocks. The underweight in utility and consumer staples stocks that detracted from the Fund’s performance the latter half of 2006 helped in 2007 as the majority of the Fund’s 14.51% return is attributable to its performance during the first and second quarter of 2007.
Currently, we believe that a tremendous opportunity exists as the relative price to value ratio for high quality companies compared to all companies is 0.45. This is the lowest relative valuation in 33 years. If ever there was a bubble, we believe it is in the mis-pricing of low-quality companies. Looking ahead, the global economy is still dependent on tight supplies in oil, materials, and industrial products. Domestically, we believe we are entering into a growth phase for technology. There will most likely continue to be “headline” risk with respect to oil, defense stocks, and healthcare, but in the end, we believe that the Fed may have orchestrated a near perfect performance with domestic secular growth being aided by demand for raw materials and by emerging markets demand for U.S. goods and services. We expect that earnings will continue to be helped by the weak dollar.

Performance Update
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (QUSVX, QSVBX, QSVCX, QSVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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. The Fund invests in companies considered by the Fund’s sub-adviser to have consistent earnings and above-average core assets, selling at relatively low market valuations, with attractive growth and momentum characteristics.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
The Fund had a good year in both absolute and relative terms. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the Fund’s performance was 18.22%*, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market), returned 16.43%. Working from the bottom up, we evaluate companies relative to their industry peers using three broad categories of attractiveness: value, management, and momentum. Value to us means fairly traditional ratios of price to fundamental value, management measures seek evidence that company management has and will continue to produce earning power, and momentum helps us determine when stocks might be expected to begin the ascent toward full valuation.
Our assessment of value (specifically, companies that are cheap compared to their operating or future earnings) and our take on management (leaning towards companies that repurchase shares and have generated a positive long-run return on assets) contributed the most to our outperformance. Examining the year’s results from a different viewpoint, consumers’ appetite for buffalo wings (Buffalo Wild Wings Corp.) and UGG and TEVA brand shoes (Deckers Outdoor Corp) combined with the performance of our picks in the energy sector helped us overcome some disappointments in the technology and capital goods sectors. Finally, our long-standing bet against the real estate industry has recently been vindicated.
AJO is disciplined and value-oriented, maintaining a fully-invested, well-diversified portfolio of 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.

Performance Update
Quaker Core Value Fund (QUGTX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation through the prudent investment in 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
This past fiscal year was difficult for the Fund. Our portfolio returned 16.21%* versus 21.87% for the Russell 1000® Value Index for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2007. Our approach to valuation, growth-at-a-reasonable-price, was not rewarded, whereas, low price-to-book and low price-to-earnings were rewarded, irrespective of their future prospects. Our approach led us to have good earnings surprises and visibility at a reasonable price, but these companies were not rewarded for surprising the marketplace. It was a year that was divided into two separate markets. The first covered the second half of 2006, where undervalued stocks with decent earnings did not perform as well as stocks with just average to negative earnings. This began to reverse itself during the first half of 2007, with valuation being rewarded and negative earnings being punished. By staying the course, we avoided being whipsawed by chasing the most recent best performers.
Currently, the Fund’s portfolio of investments is structured towards the capital equipment/investment sector of the economy, and away from the consumer sector of the economy. We believe the consumer sector seems to be decelerating, while the capital equipment and economically sensitive sectors have global demand helping to support revenue growth of these sectors. The global demand for U.S. style investment banking/capital market products also allows us to have an overweight in the financial sector. Likewise, a declining outlook for the healthcare sector has led us to underweight this group. Our emphasis remains to be on a growth-at-a-reasonable-price strategy, a strategy we have not deviated from over the past five years. Given valuations and the current rate of interest, we will continue to seek earnings growth for the Fund’s portfolio, without paying too much for it.
We plan on staying with the current orientation until revenue/earnings estimates start changing by theme or sector. With the high uncertainty in the marketplace currently, we believe the prudent policy is to not overpay for expectations.

Expense Information
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, 2007 through June 30, 2007.
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 (the “1940 Act”), 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 currently has 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 Quaker Core Value Fund (formerly 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.
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.
Quaker 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 once the economic equivalent of a 5.00% sales charge is recovered by the Fund(s) for each investment account, normally after 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 charge or CDSC, 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 their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 Funds’ 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 Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of their
2007 ANNUAL REPORT | 75
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Net investment income or loss and net realized gains or 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 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.
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 Transactions. 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. Expense Allocations. Fund expenses that are not series (fund) specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Funds’ total net assets.
H. Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends annually, payable in December, on a
76 | 2007 ANNUAL REPORT
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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.
I. 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.
J. 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.
Note 3 — Investment Advisory Fee and Other Related Party Transactions
Quaker Funds, Inc. (“QFI”) serves as Investment Advisor to each Fund. Pursuant to separate investment subadvisory agreements, QFI has selected the following persons to serve as sub-advisers:

The sub-adviser to Small-Cap Value has voluntarily waived a portion of its subadvisory fee, resulting in a subadvisory fee rate of 0.85% on the first $25 million of assets of the Fund and 0.90% on all amounts in excess of $25 million, in accordance with the sub-adviser’s “most favored nation” policy that provides for a subadvisory fee based upon a rate no greater than the lowest rate offered by the sub-adviser to another client with a similar investment objective. This voluntary waiver results in a corresponding reduction in the fees paid by Fund shareholders. However, in the event that the investment advisory services provided to that client is terminated, the subadvisory fee rates would revert to the contractual fee rate of 0.90% per annum.
2007 ANNUAL REPORT | 77
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 3 — Investment Advisory Fee and Other Related Party Transactions (Continued)
QFI voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee to the extent that the total operating expenses of Small-Cap Value (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary items) exceed the annual rate of 2.60% for Class A, 3.35% for Classes B and C, and 2.35% for Class I of the average net assets of each class, respectively. QFI currently has no intention to terminate this arrangement, however, it may do so at any time in its sole discretion.

Note 11 — New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and will be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 13 — Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of disinterested Trustees, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”), to serve as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decision to select PWC was recommended by the Audit Committee and was approved by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the disinterested Trustees, on August 10, 2006. During the Trusts fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 and through August 10, 2006, neither the Trust, its portfolios nor anyone on their behalf has consulted with PWC on items which (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trust’s financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of said Item 304). The selection of PWC does not reflect any disagreements with or dissatisfaction by the Trust or the Board of Trustees with the performance of the Trust’s prior auditor. The decision to dismiss Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP (“Briggs”), the Trust’s previous independent registered public accounting firm and to select PWC was recommended by the Trust’s Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of disinterested Trustees. Briggs’ report on the Trust’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Trust’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 and through August 10, 2006, (i) there were no disagreements with Briggs on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Briggs, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Trust’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Trust has requested that Briggs furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.
Note 14 — Subsequent Event
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Quaker Investment Trust held on May 24, 2007, the Board approved reductions in sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser to certain of the Funds’ sub-advisers. These reductions will result in a corresponding decrease in the fees paid by the Fund’s shareholders. Each of these arrangements went into effect as of July 1, 2007 and are as follows:
Knott Capital Management, the Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund’s sub-adviser, has agreed contractually to permanently reduce its sub-advisory fee from 0.75% to 0.625%, as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets;
Sectoral Asset Management, Inc., the Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund’s sub-adviser, has agreed contractually to reduce its sub-advisory fee from 0.95% to 0.80%, as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets from July 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008;
Geewax, Terker & Co., the Quaker Core Value Fund’s sub-adviser, has agreed contractually to add a breakpoint to its sub-advisory fee, such that the sub-advisory fee shall be 0.75% as a percentage on assets up to $20 million and 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on assets above $20 million; and
Global Capital Management, Inc., the Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund’s sub-adviser, has agreed voluntarily to reduce its sub-advisory fee from 0.75% to 0.70%, as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Quaker Investment Trust:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Core Equity Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and Quaker Core Value Fund (formerly Geewax Terker Core Value Fund) and the schedule of investments and the schedule of securities sold short of Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (constituting Quaker Investment Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Trust”), and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust at June 30, 2007 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended June 30, 2006 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated July 26, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

At the Board meeting the Independent Trustees reported to the full Board of Trustees their considerations with respect to the Agreements, and the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved renewal of the Agreements.
In arriving at their decision to renew the Agreements, the Board considered, a variety of information concerning QFI and each sub-adviser, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by QFI and by the sub-adviser; (2) the level of the advisory and sub-advisory fees that are charged to each Fund; (3) the profitability information provided by QFI; (4) QFI’s and the sub-adviser’s compliance programs; (5) and any “fall out” or ancillary benefits enjoyed by QFI and the sub-advisers as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Board also considered the answers to questions posed by the Board to representatives of QFI.
In considering the continuation of these Agreements, the Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by QFI and the sub-advisers, the proposed fee structures, the level of fee waivers, each Fund’s past and anticipated expense ratios, possible economies of scale resulting from increases in the size of the Funds and other possible benefits QFI and the sub-advisers derived from their relationships with the Funds. The Board carefully analyzed the information provided to it by QFI, the sub-advisers, and independent third parties, focusing particularly on the level of advisory fees and expenses of each Fund with information for comparable funds, and the performance of each Fund to funds with comparable investment objectives. The Board also considered other information that it had received from QFI and the sub-advisers at other meetings throughout the year.
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by QFI, the Board considered the portfolio management, administrative and supervisory services provided by QFI. The Board acknowledged the value of QFI’s historical performance of services for the Funds. The Board noted QFI’s commitment to servicing the Funds as its only client; QFI’s efforts during the past year to reduce Fund expenses; and the nature of the non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds, such as the supervision of the Funds’ other third-party service providers, by QFI.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the sub-advisers, the Board considered the quality of the portfolio management services that the sub-advisers provided to the Funds; the depth, experience and demonstrated consistency in investment approach of each sub-adviser’s portfolio management team; the continued growth in each sub-adviser’s personnel responsible for managing the Funds; and the quality of each sub-adviser’s reputation. The Board further considered each sub-adviser’s performance record and its experience, as applicable, in managing other fund complexes with similar mutual funds.
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Board concluded that the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of QFI’s and the sub-advisers’ services, as applicable, and that QFI and the sub-advisers have the ability to continue to provide these services based on their respective experience, operations and resources.
With respect to the Funds’ investment performance, the Board reviewed each Fund’s performance compared to both its peer group and relative benchmark indices over one-year, three-year, five-year, ten year and since inception periods, as applicable. The Board considered factors, including but not limited to each sub-adviser’s management style, that had affected the performance of each Fund relative to its peer group and benchmarks.
The Board considered the fees payable under each of the Agreements. The Board reviewed the information compiled from Morningstar comparing each Fund’s contractual management fee rate. The Board reviewed both the overall expenses on a Fund-by-Fund basis as well as the advisory fee charged to each Fund. The Board also noted that the Funds’ total expense ratios were equal to or above the average of comparable funds. The foregoing comparisons assisted the Board in determining to approve the Agreements by providing them with a basis for evaluating each Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio on a relative basis.
90 | 2007 ANNUAL REPORT
With respect to the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by QFI from its relationship with the Funds, the Board considered the fact that QFI had agreed to continue to waive its advisory fees to the extent necessary to limit the annualized expenses of each Fund to their assigned expenses ratio caps for an additional year. The Board also considered that QFI may be able to recoup some of the waived fees in the future. The Board noted that QFI continued to operate at a loss on most Funds due to its substantial subsidization of Fund expenses and that economies of scale had not yet been realized due to the relatively small size of the Funds. The Board also took into consideration QFI’s willingness to consider adding breakpoints to its advisory fee in the future if the Funds’ assets increase to the extent that economies of scale are realized. The Board did not consider the relationship between QFI’s advisory fees compared to other accounts that QFI advises because QFI has no other advisory accounts.
The Board considered whether there are any “fall out” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to QFI or the sub-advisers as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Based on the information provided prior to, and at, the March meeting, the Board noted that there did not appear to be any significant benefits in this regard.
After evaluation of the comparative performance, fee and expense information and the profitability, ancillary benefits and other considerations as described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by QFI and the sub-advisers, the Board concluded that the level of fees to be paid to QFI and the sub-advisers was reasonable.
In voting unanimously to approve the Agreements based on the various considerations discussed above, the Board determined that the approval of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Funds. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements.
