Item 1. Report to Stockholders.
Chairman’s Letter to the Shareholders
June 30, 2008
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
The past fiscal year has been especially gratifying for me. The once fledgling company, the Quaker Funds is now almost 12 years old and has experienced tremendous growth in what is a very mature industry. The company was founded with the belief that over full market cycles, investment managers that have a consistent, repeatable investment process have a propensity to outperform their peer group and benchmarks.
During this short stretch of time, Quaker Funds has stood by its clients through two bull markets, as well as two bear markets. As these four distinct market cycles have unfolded, one thing has remained consistent, namely, our sub-advisers’ investment methodologies.
In 1996, looking toward the future, I believed that the investment industry would experience a Darwinian process that would ultimately lead to a new breed of money manager, thus changing the way people think about investing. Quaker Funds has two mutual fund portfolios that have been with us since inception: Quaker Strategic Growth and Quaker Small-Cap Value. We asked DG Capital and AJO Partners to manage the funds because we believed they would ultimately be (and we feel we were correct) the new faces of the investment industry.
DG Capital employed a strategy that, at the time, was not very popular within the mutual fund community, which consisted of shorting stocks and raising an unlimited amount of cash. AJO Partners was a pioneer in the somewhat fledgling investment style of quantitative investing. Today, these two methodologies are highly sought investment strategies and we can boast that our managers have been battle tested in many different markets.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, total firm assets have increased by over 50% during a trying period in the stock market. I look upon this as validation that investors like you understand and appreciate the vision I had years ago.
Quaker Funds continually strives to provide you, our valued investor, with investment managers that are disciplined in their investment methodologies and tested in the ever-changing marketplace. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we thank you for giving us the opportunity to be trusted stewards of your financial well-being.
Sincerely,
Jeffry King
Chairman & CEO

Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (QBPAX, QBPBX, CBPCX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration. 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, down 1.15% over the twelve month period ended June 30, 2008 as measured by the NASDAQ Biotech Index (“NBI”), fared better than the broader markets, down over 10% throughout the twelve month period, as measured by the NASDAQ Composite Index and the S&P 500 Index. This out performance is attributable both to the fact that the credit, commodity price and economic growth worries which have dominated investor sentiment have little impact on biotech companies, as well as the fact that the biotech industry’s fundamentals are solid and valuations attractive.
For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2008, the Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund’s performance was 3.40%*. This performance was achieved with an average net long exposure of about 60% and volatility about 25% lower than that of the NBI.
Biotech stocks faired well due to their lack of dependence on credit and economic growth issues as well as fundamental industry developments. The U.S. government re-authorized the Food and Drug Administration’s legislation, the Prescription Drug and User Fee Act, in a form that appears to be backed by industry. The creation of a pathway for the approval of biogenerics in the U.S. was not included in the Prescription Drug and User Fee Act and appears to be a project for later years. Healthcare has attracted significant attention in the U.S. elections with candidate reform proposals focusing on improving coverage and costs.
Additionally, the biotech industry has continued to demonstrate strong fundamentals with large-cap companies generally reporting solid financial performance and mid and small-cap companies continuing to innovate. The Biotech industry continues to get product approvals, some examples of which are Progenics’ Relistor (for opiod induced constipation), Genentech’s Avastin (for metastatic breast cancer), and Onyx’s Nexavar (for liver cancer) among others. Clinical trial results for drugs that are far superior to current standards of care include Vertex’s telaprevir(for hepatitis c infection), Cardiome’s vernakalant(for atrial fibrillation), and Pharmion’s Vidaza (for a type of blood cancer). Merger and acquisition activity was also plentiful with the major deals being Celgene acquiring Pharmion and Takeda buying Millennium.
While we expect biotech relative outperformance to continue, absolute performance will in large part depend on the overall equity market environment. The biotech industry’s fundamentals appear strong while valuation is still quite attractive. Finally, support for the sector should continue if economic growth concerns linger.

Quaker Global Total Return Fund (QTRAX, QTRCX, QTRIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration. This Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental, which means that it may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
Amid a backdrop of global financial turmoil and market volatility, the Quaker Global Total Return Fund performed admirably in its first partial quarter. Since its inception on 5/1/2008, the Fund appreciated 1.90%*, while its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, had a loss of –7.51% over the same period.
As the U.S. economy de-leverages itself, growth continues to lag other economies with better public revenue and debt to GDP ratios. The increased consumer spending and infrastructure expansion in emerging economies continues to buoy their growth. The Middle Eastern countries of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) (which includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and the U.A.E.) are predicting domestic infrastructure spending of over $230 billion a year over the next 12 years ($2.8 trillion in total). India’s average income per person is expected to triple over the next 20 years moving it from the 12th largest consumer economy to the 5th largest. The consumption of energy, commodities and food is expanding rapidly and in some cases eclipsing gains in supply.
To benefit from these global shifts, we have invested opportunistically in domestic companies that have a global footprint and provide exports to these markets (in industries such as integrated oil and gas, drillers, E&P companies, steel and agribusiness). We have also invested the international portion of the Fund in shipping companies, construction and engineering firms, mining and fertilizer manufacturers. Overall we continue to emphasize highly liquid, larger-cap stocks with attractive valuations and good earnings surprise potential.
We have stayed away from any global industries with exposure to the sub-prime crisis (primarily finance) and its resulting drag on consumer spending in retail, consumer technology, autos and housing.

Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (QUAGX, QAGBX, QAGCX, QAGIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration. 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, 2008, the S&P 500 Total Return Index (a broad based market proxy) declined –13.12% while the Class A shares of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund finished the fiscal year with a total return of 22.22%*. For the first half of calendar year 2008, the S&P 500 has fallen –11.91% while the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund has gained 6.24%.
The economic boom in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries has led to an increased demand for the commodities used in their infrastructure build-out. Additionally, rising incomes in these countries has led to increasing demand for meat which is causing increasing competition for animal feedstock. Combined with the diversion of corn for ethanol production, worldwide prices for grains continue to advance. Finally, it is becoming apparent that countries that are producers of oil have been increasing their consumption of oil derivatives (gasoline, diesel, fuel oil) much faster than the rest of the world, leading to lower export levels to countries that import those derivatives.
Unfortunately, this worldwide trend of increasing demand is occurring against a background of limited supplies. All of the above has caused commentators to bring forward the possibility of a world-wide food and energy crisis as prices of all inputs soar beyond expectations. We too are concerned about the rapid escalation of input prices that is now causing headline inflation to jump rapidly in developing countries.
In an effort to navigate these global trends, we continue to have investments in the industrial (global construction and engineering firms), materials (mining and fertilizer companies), energy and consumer staple (agribusiness) sectors. We continue to emphasize large-cap growth stocks with good free-cash flow characteristics, attractive valuations, positive earnings surprise potential and a global presence.
We have maintained our underweights in the financial, consumer discretionary and technology sectors of the market due to the seemingly perpetual credit meltdown, weakness in consumer spending (due to housing woes and high gas prices) and the overall slowing of the domestic economy.

Performance Update
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (QUKTX, QCOBX, QCOCX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be viewed as 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, 2008, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500, with a loss of –3.63%* vs. a loss of –13.12% for the S&P 500. Our macroeconomic view during the past year emphasized defensiveness, given our belief that the economy would likely slow over the period. Concerns over the housing industry, a looming credit crisis, and steadily declining employment numbers proved to be well founded as 2007 ended and the new year began. While not yet a recession by standard definition, the “feels like” recession that we anticipated several months ago is now upon us.
Our defensive positioning has been rewarded over the past twelve months. Underweights of both the financial and consumer discretionary sectors have contributed to our relative performance versus the S&P 500, allowing us to avoid the increasing pressures on lenders and consumers in the form of falling housing prices, rising mortgage delinquencies, high energy price, and a deteriorating job market. Additionally, our overweight positions in consumer staples, information technology, and aerospace and defense industries all proved advantageous. Conversely, our underweight positions in the energy and utilities sectors hindered performance. Despite an environment of weakening demand, meager supply growth and other factors have led to a surprisingly steep increase in the price of crude oil. More recently, we have added to our holdings in the energy sector, emphasizing large-cap, integrated oil companies.
The market environment has been extremely challenging for many months now, and we continue to see obstacles for both financial intermediaries and consumers. However, with recent declines affecting virtually all market sectors, we are presented with more attractive opportunities to invest. We believe that the Fund’s emphasis on downside protection, a hallmark of the Knott Capital approach, coupled with continued focus on predictable, stable-growth companies, will prove invaluable in the months to come.

Performance Update
Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (QMCVX, QMCBX, QMCCX, QMVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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 common stocks comparable to the companies included in the Russell MidCap® Value.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
The Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund ended its fiscal year on June 30, 2008, with a return of –15.92%* versus –17.09% for the benchmark Russell MidCap® Value Index, while outperforming in three out of the four quarters. Fiscal 2007 recessionary fears gave way to sub-prime mortgage foreclosures. The market set new highs in the first two weeks of the fiscal year based on strength in global markets, but has led the way down ever since on a weakening dollar and surging oil and commodity prices. Global markets have followed with many nearing 50% corrections with high volatile returns. Large capitalization stocks, as measured by the S&P 500, a sector that was almost unanimously agreed upon as a “safe haven”, generated a negative total return of –13.12% in this period. The Federal Reserve was not idle and from the perspective of many “FED watchers”, the Central Bank was “anticipatory” to the sub-prime mess. The FED began lowering interest rates in September with a 50 basis point surprise cut. The market had not experienced a 15% cleansing correction in over5 years. October saw the equity markets rise to record levels for some indices before a sharp sell off around the middle of the month. Oil prices marched from $80 to $90 dollars and gold traded up through a $700 ceiling. We wrote back in October of our concerns with Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and General Motors and the debt on their balance sheets. As investors warmed up to growth stocks, we became increasingly uncomfortable with any company that carried debt.
Throughout the fiscal year, the portfolio was underweighted to the benchmark in Finance, Utility and Consumer stocks. Our process guided us toward Industrial companies with growing international sales and Commodity/Energy sector companies. We maintained an overweighting in these two sectors for most of the fiscal year. In the fiscal fourth quarter we have been scaling back in the Commodity/Energy stocks.

Performance Update
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (QUSVX, QSVBX, QSVCX, QSVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide 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 common stocks of 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 disappointing year, particularly in absolute terms. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Fund’s performance was –17.86%*, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market) returned –16.19%. 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 produced and will continue to produce earning power, and momentum helps us determine when stocks might be expected to begin the ascent toward full valuation.
The portfolio’s deeper-than-benchmark value orientation proved difficult for performance this year. On a positive note, performing well were holdings that exhibited favorable management traits—a solid record of return on assets—and positive momentum in the form of earnings estimate revision and relative strength, but not enough to offset the value drag. Examining the year’s results from a different viewpoint, our picks in health equipment stocks (including Dade Behring and Edwards Lifesciences), combined with the performance of our picks in the transportation sector (especially Excel Maritime Carriers), helped us overcome some disappointments in the energy and services sectors. Finally, our aggregate industry bets, though modest, added to performance, specifically, bets against real estate companies and banks.
AJO is disciplined and value-oriented, maintaining a fully invested, well-diversifiedportfolio 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.

Expense Information
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.
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, 2008 through June 30, 2008.
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.

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 six series: Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (“Biotech”), Quaker Global Total Return Fund (“Global Total Return”), Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (“Strategic Growth”) ,Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (“Capital Opportunities”), Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value”), and Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (“Small-Cap Value”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below.
Strategic Growth and Small-Cap Value commenced operations on November 25, 1996. Mid-Cap Value commenced operations on December 31, 1997. The investment objective of these Funds is to provide shareholders with long-term growth of capital. Capital Opportunities commenced operations on January 31, 2002. The investment objective of this Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital. Biotech commenced operations on September 23, 2002. The investment objective of this Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital.
Global Total Return commenced operations on May 1, 2008. The investment objective of this Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital. Unlike other Funds in the Trust, this investment objective is non-fundamental in that this objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Strategic Growth, Capital Opportunities, Small-Cap Value, and Mid-Cap Value 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”) of 5.00% that declines to zero in the seventh year after purchase; Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares 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 Institutional Class shares bear no front-end sales charge or CDSC, but have higher minimum investment limitations. The Adviser has the ability to waive the minimum investment for Institutional Class shares at its discretion.
Biotech offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Global Total Return offers Class A, Class C and Institutional Class 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 taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
In June 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 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and was applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the four open tax years as of June 30, 2008 and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 does not have a material impact

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
on the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Net investment income or loss and net realized gains or losses may differ for financial statement and income tax purposes primarily due to investments that 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 a 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.
If a security pays a dividend while the fund holds it short; the fund will need to pay the dividend to the original owner of the security. Since the fund borrowed the shares and sold them to a third party, the third party will receive the dividend from the security and the fund will pay the original owner the dividend directly. The fund is not entitled to the dividend because it does not own the shares. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale.
D. Option Writing. Strategic Growth, Capital Opportunities, Global Total Return 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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 date selected by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board” or “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-dividenddate. 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. Security Loans. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees, or retain a portion of interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The funds also continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal, at all times, to the fair value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower in demand.

|
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 0.80% 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. However, in the event that the investment advisory services provided to that client is terminated, the subadvisory fee rates offered to Small-Cap Value would revert to the contractual fee rate of 0.90% per annum.
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

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles from options.
As of June 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

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, straddles from options and net losses realized after October 31st.

Note 7 — Reclassification of Capital Accounts
In accordance with the accounting pronouncements, each Fund has recorded reclassifications in the capital accounts. These reclassification have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are designed generally to present undistributed income and realized gains on a tax basis which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 10 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 measurement. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
Note 11 — 5% Shareholders
As of June 30, 2008, certain Funds had single shareholder and/or omnibus shareholder accounts (which are comprised of a group of individual shareholders), which individually amounted to more than 5% of the total shares outstanding as detailed below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | % Shares | | Number of |
Fund | | Outstanding | | Accounts |
|
Biotech | | | — | | | | — | |
|

Mid-Cap Value | | | 32.40 | % | | | 2 | |

|
Note 12 — Indemnifications
Under the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 13 — Securities Lending
At June 30, 2008, these securities or a portion of these securities are out on loan. The aggregate market value of these loaned securities and the value of the cash collateral the Funds received is as follows:

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 Global Total Return Fund, Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund and Quaker Small-Cap 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, 2008 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, 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, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for each of the three 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.

Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Independent Trustees of the Board of Trustees of the Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”) considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Quaker Funds, Inc. (“QFI”) and each of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreements between QFI and DG Capital Management, Knott Capital Management, Sectoral Asset Management, Inc., Global Capital Management, Inc., and Aronson+Johnson+Ortiz, LP (collectively the “Agreements”) with regard to each Fund at a meeting held on May 1, 2008. 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 the renewal of the Agreements.
In arriving at their decision to renew the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of information concerning QFI and each sub-adviser. In considering the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the nature and quality of the services provided by QFI and each of 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 each of the sub-advisers derived from their relationships with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, carefully analyzed the information provided to them by QFI, each of the sub-advisers, and independent third parties, focusing particularly on the level of advisory fees and expenses of each Fund compared with information for similar funds, and the performance of each Fund compared to funds with similar investment objectives. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered other information that it had received from QFI and each of 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, including the Independent Trustees, considered the portfolio management, administrative and supervisory services provided by QFI. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, acknowledged the value of QFI’s historical performance of services for the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, 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 each sub-adviser, the Board including the Independent Trustees, considered the quality of the portfolio management services that each sub-adviser provided to the Funds, the depth, experience and demonstrated consistency in investment approach of each of the sub-advisers’ portfolio management teams, the continued growth in each of the sub-advisers’ personnel responsible for managing the Funds; and the quality of each of the sub-advisers’ reputations. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, further considered each of the sub-advisers’ performance records and their experience in managing another fund complex with similar mutual funds.
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of QFI’s and each of the sub-advisers’ services, as applicable, and that QFI and each of 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, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed each Fund's performance compared to both its peer group and relative benchmark indices over one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods, as applicable. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered factors, including but not limited to the sub-advisers’ management style, that have affected the performance of each Fund relative to its peer group and benchmarks.
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, including the Independent Trustees, 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 expense ratio caps for an additional year. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered that QFI might be able to recoup some of the waived fees in the future. The Board, including Independent Trustees, 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, including the Independent Trustees, considered whether there are any ancillary benefits that may accrue to QFI or a sub-adviser resulting from their relationship with the Funds. Based on the information provided, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, 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 each of the sub-advisers, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the level of fees to be paid to QFI and each of the sub-advisers was reasonable.
In voting unanimously to approve the Agreements based on the various considerations discussed above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, 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 Agreements.
