Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund (AARFX, QASDX, QASIX)
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund (“Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income, while seeking to protect principal during unfavorable market conditions.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Fund was down -5.82% while the S&P 500 Total Return Index (S&P 500) gained 20.60%. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Fund was down -3.50% while the S&P 500 returned 13.82%
The performance of AARFX for the twelve months ending June 30th, 2013 was the most disappointing twelve month period we have had since starting the Fund almost eight years ago. Our bearish stance on the market was the biggest contributor to the Fund’s underperformance. In particular, betting against the American consumer and home builders in the face of falling interest rates hurt us the most. We still have strong convictions that these segments of the market will be very vulnerable in the face of higher interest rates which, we believe have finally arrived. We continue to hold short positions in these expensive segments of the market.
On the long side, the biggest detractors from performance were Knight Capital Group, Inc. (KCG), SuperValu, Inc. (SVU), Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (IPDN) and ATP Oil & Gas Corp. bonds. We have since sold our position in KCG and SVU but continue to hold IPDN as we believe there is huge upside potential considering their recent strategic partnership with LinkedIn. On the short side, the biggest detractors from performance were positions in Sherwin-Williams Co. (SHW) and Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (CP).
Stocks having the biggest positive impact on our fund were: Citigroup, Inc. (C), Nokia Corp. (NOK), Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. (CTB), Synergy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SGYP), Total, S.A. (TOT) and Kips Bay Medical, Inc. (KIPS). We have sold all those stocks with the exception of SGYP which we believe has significant long term upside potential as they are entering Phase III trials with a chronic constipation drug that could be a blockbuster drug if it gets approved. The Phase IIb results were so impressive that I believe there is a chance the company could be an acquisition target for larger cap pharmaceutical firms. Short positions that helped us included Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG) and Salesforce.com, Inc. (CRM).
Looking ahead, we may become more trading oriented, as we believe we could be nearing an inflection point this fall. With that said, we have tempered our bearishness to the point that we have limited our losses, and we anticipate making up for our past mistakes with solid performance going forward. We continue to respect the fact that the stock market can continue to move higher in the near term due to its tremendous momentum and push from the world’s central banks. We will be watching interest rates, credit growth, and economic indicators as key gauges in making our asset allocation decisions for the remainder of the year. If interest rates rise much higher, we believe that such higher rates will exacerbate an already leveraged financial system. If the economy begins to deteriorate from an already anemic condition, despite the massive monetary stimulus being thrown at it, we believe that the end of this four-year recovery could be around the corner. The proverbial, “pushing on a string” liquidity trap that has embraced Japan for the past twenty-four years could be upon us. If credit growth begins to slow due to higher interest rates or fickleness on the part of investors, we believe the storm will have arrived. In such an environment, we believe that being short highly leveraged companies, while being long solid, reasonably priced growth companies with clean balance sheets will be a good strategy in such an environment.
We remain slightly net short the market on a beta adjusted basis and expect to remain slightly short at these stock market levels. There are stocks that interest us at lower levels and we may add to long positions in select stocks on weakness. For the foreseeable future, we would expect to be market neutral, plus or minus 25% depending on the opportunity sets. Most of our long positions will be special situations or trading situations in companies that have gotten too cheap.

Performance Update (Unaudited)
Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (QEAAX, QEACX, QEAIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (“Fund”) seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund generally invest in the securities of publicly traded companies involved in mergers, takeovers, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, spin-offs, liquidations or similar events.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
Over the last year the Fund returned 8.70%, whereas the total return of the S&P 500 was 20.60%. While the equity market gyrated over the last year, the Fund’s daily volatility was roughly 61% lower than that of the S&P 500.
The past 12 months proved more favorable for event driven investing than prior years. This is evident, as the HFRI Event Driven (Total) Index return was 12.43%. The HFRI Event Driven (Total) Index is a good barometer for the asset class as it aggregates many hedge funds into one index that represents Event Driven investing. Nevertheless, monetary policy has been more advantageous to direct market exposure than to other investment strategies like event-driven investment.
Looking forward, the portfolio management team sees opportunities in proxy fights, where activist investors are pushing underperforming companies to sell themselves. These investments have multiple ways to generate returns for the funds: first, activist investors prepare companies for a sale by eliminating governance problems that hold the firms back; second, they divest non-core assets and allow management to focus on the core business; third, they help the companies implement operational changes; and finally, the sale of the company occurs with a control premium.
This year, the Fund has found more opportunities in distressed securities of corporate issues. While most of the distress in recent years was found to lie mostly in distressed mortgage-backed securities, opportunities in this space can now be found in corporate distress. The Fund exited most of its mortgage backed securities holdings during the year as the risk/reward profile became less attractive when prices recovered closer to pre-crisis levels.
Finally, merger arbitrage remains a small portion of the portfolio. With interest rates remaining near historic lows this strategy in general generates unattractive returns, in particular in light of the risks incurred. Nevertheless, opportunities appear from time to time and the investment team invests on such occasions.
I wish all investors a prosperous year and thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Thomas Kirchner, Portfolio Manager

Performance Update (Unaudited)
Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (QTRAX, QTRCX, QTRIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests in common stocks of U.S. companies and American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) of foreign companies without regard to market capitalization. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in common stocks and ADRs of foreign companies.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the MSCI World Index (“MSCI World”) (a global market proxy) gained 18.58% while the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund finished the fiscal year with a gain of 16.57%. For the first half of the 2013 calendar year, the MSCI World rose 8.43% while the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund gained 11.71%.
In spite of a host of headwinds, markets exhibited robust advances over the last year, with all global sectors gaining ground. One of the biggest surprises for domestic markets in the first half of 2013 was the lack of damage from the fiscal cliff tax increases (which reduced personal income without impacting consumer spending) and sequestration spending cuts (which took effect in early March) lopping off 2% from overall government expenditures. Another surprise from Washington was the bipartisan debt ceiling compromise that allowed it to avoid a repeat of the showdown that ultimately led to a downgrade in federal debt in 2011. Along with sustained consumer spending and reduced political uncertainty, the housing rebound has also begun to provide a lift to the economy. Since so many potential problems were already “on the calendar,” bad news was already priced into equity prices, helping the slate of positive news provide upward momentum for domestic markets.
As we look back over the last couple years, it is undeniable that the Fed and other central banks have been the primary driver of stock market performance as anticipation of central bank moves have left a clear mark on the trajectory of equity prices. While changing expectations and shifts in fundamentals still have an effect, in the U.S., the Fed’s flood of liquidity largely overshadowed the ability of fundamental earnings analysis to determine proper valuation creating a difficult environment for stock picking. While the Bank of Japan continues to stimulate, this trend seems to finally be reversing itself domestically. The reversal began when the Fed added clarity to its liquidity program by setting definitive unemployment and inflation targets for continued Fed intervention in hopes of lessening the risk-on/risk-off market movements that characterized Fed announcements cycles. The trend continued with the taper announcement which, after a short “taper tantrum” sell-off, continued to add clarity to Fed intentions and stability to domestic markets. Time will tell if the Bank of Japan or the European Central bank follow suit.
Domestically, in addition to the clarity provided by the Fed, there continues to be bullish signs. While many are skeptical of future earnings growth since profit margins are at historic highs, it is difficult to fathom that corporate profitability is peaking while the developed world’s economy is in such a depressed state. If growth picks up (and the corporate cash hoard is put to work) profits will continue to have the ability to surprise on the upside. The flip side of earnings skepticism is the continued modest valuation of the S&P500, which at a 15x forward P/E multiple stands below the historical average valuation band. If economic conditions improve, there is plenty of room for multiple expansion.
Foreign economies looked much more dire for most of the year. Early this year, the Cypriot crisis reinforced the perception that the European crisis is far from over, with continued recession affecting much of the continent. The European slowdown also affected export markets in many emerging economies, which also had many homegrown issues including: wage pressure and weak manufacturing growth in China, rising inflation in Brazil and weakening natural gas prices in Russia (not to mention the periodic pounding of war-drums on the Korean peninsula). That said the global outlook is improving with growth in China beginning to stabilize and European recession showing indications that it may be at an end.
All sectors gained ground for the year with consumer discretionaries, healthcare (both overweights) and financials advancing the most and materials, utilities (both relative underweights) and technology trailing most other sectors. During the last 12 months the portfolio was helped by stock picks in the healthcare (Celgene and Biogen) and technology (Apple and Visa) sectors and hurt by stock picks in consumer staples (Mead Johnson) and financials (Capital One and Royal Bank of Scotland), as well as cash drag.
Over the last year, we concentrated our stock picking efforts on seeking out companies that have a definitive competitive advantage and access to consumer growth patterns, both domestically, but also in emerging markets. Areas fitting this pattern (which we called the three M’s) continue to be themes in the portfolio.
Media: which has enormous potential growth internationally through several channels and provides margin protection due to intellectual property rights (IP). The landscape has rapidly changed in this arena as content has gone digital allowing streaming video and audio services. As they are rolled out into areas with existing broadband infrastructure, services are highly scalable with little additional fixed cost, boosting margins dramatically.
Molecular Biology: which encompasses both drug companies and biotech. These firms again have protections from competition through IP and have an expanding customer base as their inroads into emerging markets become more profitable as those countries grow richer and can afford more sophisticated treatments and (to a lessor extent) as Obamacare broadens the population with healthcare coverage domestically. A slew of M&A deals have also pushed up prices in this sector recently.
Mobile: as more content migrates onto mobile platforms and more cell phones and smart phones are sold into emerging markets, companies that can leverage, capitalize and monetize their mobile presence will outmaneuver their competition.

More recently we have also increased our allocation to industrials which should benefit from the infrastructure build out needed to exploit fracking technology. Cheap energy costs in the U.S. along with slow growing labor costs and improving productivity have also begun to encourage the on shoring of some industrial production back in the U.S. (especially in light of fast growing wages in China, and rising transport costs) which will help further boost the sector.
We will continue to seek opportunities both domestically and worldwide that meet our investment criteria in an effort to provide a good risk adjusted return for our clients going forward, and at the same time the Fund will continue to take advantage of its mandate to protect capital by tactically raising cash and use its short-selling capabilities when we believe it is warranted. Thank you for your continued support.

Performance Update (Unaudited)
Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (QMCVX, QMCCX, QMVIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (“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 Index.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, the Fund generated a gain of 20.72% (before sales charges) and 14.05% (after sales charges) versus a gain of 27.65% for the Russell Midcap® Value Index. Every sector in the benchmark was up double-digits. The same was true for the Fund, except for the Information Technology and Telecommunication sectors (the fund has no exposure in telecommunication), the Information Technology sector only increased 6% due to poor performance from stocks that were either tied to the slowdown at bell weather Apple, Inc., or to the slower than expected recovery in semiconductor equipment capital spending. The Fund’s best relative performance came from the Materials sector, which increased 24% versus an increase of 14% in the benchmark. We believe our stocks did well and we avoided the worst performing industries and stocks in the sector.
In our opinion, a significant portion of the rally in equities over the past year can be attributed to the massive quantitative easing program implemented by the Federal Reserve. For the most part, the Federal Reserve’s liquidity injection had held rates on 10 year treasuries below 2 percent for the last 2 years, with rates reaching a low of 1.4% last July. With the interest rate shock to over 2.5% recently, the pace of outflows from bond funds accelerated towards the end of the second quarter, reaching $60 billion in June according to ICI. However, this still only represents less than 2% of the nearly $3.8 trillion total invested in bond funds, and additional asset reallocation could provide an increasing source of stimulus to equity markets.
Ultimately, we believe corporate performance will need to replace federal stimulus for equities to continue to perform well. Overall, returns remain high by historical standards, but growth opportunities continue to pose a challenge for management teams in the current slow growth environment. We believe our investment approach is well suited to such an environment, as we continue to focus our investments in companies with stable or improving returns on invested capital and a demonstrated ability to reinvest in the businesses.

Performance Update (Unaudited)
Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (QGASX, QGCSX, QGISX)
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
The Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (“The Fund”) increased 8.00% for the year ending June 30, 2013. The Russell 2000 Growth Index (“The Index”) increased 23.67% for the year. It is the benchmark against which the Fund is compared. As an absolute return strategy, the Fund will own stocks, hold cash, and sell short the Index against its equity positions. The objective of the strategy is to enable its shareholders to make money in all markets, owning small cap and microcap growth stocks only when we believe they measure a considerable margin of safety.
The equities of the Fund increased 15.77% for the fiscal year. The fund had a net equity invested position of 59.27% during the year. The average cash position was 15.35% and the average ‘short’ position was 25.38%. Importantly, the cash position and the ‘shorts’ are not derived from a macro- economic ‘top down’ view or from an assessment of the overall market’s valuation. The equities are held and owned regardless of the economic or market environment as long as they meet three strict criteria that comprise our assessment of the appropriate ‘margin of safety:’ These companies have to have a price/earnings ratio less than their anticipated growth rate of earnings; the companies must have a debt to market capitalization ratio of less than twenty five percent; and the companies must have a market price that exceeds their one-hundred and fifty day moving average price. If there are not enough equities that meet these criteria, the Fund defaults to own cash until other opportunities arise.
The decision to sell short the Index and to cover the shorts is mechanical and depends solely upon two measures of sentiment. The short position is activated when the number of advancing stocks over a ten day period exceeds the number of declining stocks by at least thirty percent. Oppositely, the position is ‘covered’ when the number of advancing stocks is at least thirty percent less than the declining stocks over the same ten day period. Generally, the strategy employs the short selling on a fairly short term basis and is effective to help preserve gains from the equities in the portfolio. It did so until the end of November of 2012 and the Fund was outperforming the Index. However, from the bottom of that market, the ten day moving average discipline triggered the short selling position but never really triggered an action to ‘cover’ those shorts. As a result, the portfolio of the Fund declined - 5.36% more than it would have if the shorts were not used. Like many other hedged strategies that seek absolute returns, the past few years’ performance of the Fund have been very disappointing, mostly because of the short position of the portfolio.
The most aggravating equity in the Fund this past year was Velti PLC. A new media advertising company, it provides advanced insights and analysis for companies wanting to advertise on the proliferating mobile devices. During the year they changed their strategy and reorganized a very successful, fast growing business. Unfortunately, their revamp was going to cost them some money, but, more importantly, time to recover their profitability. The company declined considerably in price and cost the portfolio -5.25%.
By any measure, the Fund had a disappointing year whose potential return was diminished by a large cash position, a large short position, and a large loss in a single company. It did achieve its objective by limiting downside risk to the extent that it barely dipped below par during the most difficult months of the early part of the fiscal year, especially in July and then, again, in November when the Index became untracked and declined over ten percent from its previous high. The Fund continues to maintain its hallmark profile of very low volatility of price when compared to the Index.

Performance Update (Unaudited)
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (QUSVX, 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
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Fund’s performance was 23.17%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market) returned 24.21%. 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 earnings power; and gauges of momentum help us determine when stocks might be expected to begin their ascent toward full valuation.
Our shortfall over the fiscal year can be attributed to one of the three broad categories of attractiveness we use to pick stocks —management — and was almost entirely due to the emphasis we place on earnings quality. This was most evident in the consumer discretionary sector as stocks with strong management scores, such as Apollo Group (APOL) underperformed. The Fund’s market-cap distribution also held back performance: Aronson Johnson Ortiz overweights the small-cap names in its universe and implements a corresponding underweight to the most microcap names, contrary to market preference this period. On the other hand, both value and momentum were positive influences, particularly across the Fund’s holdings in the energy, healthcare, and industrial sectors where nearly all factors worked to our advantage. Examples include Tesoro (TSO) and Alliant Techsystems (ATK).
We remain firm in our conviction that superior results can be achieved through a consistent, systematic approach that focuses on low-priced companies with proven management and earnings power.

Performance Update (Unaudited)
Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (QUAGX, 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 ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Total Return Index (the “S&P 500®”) (a broad based market proxy) gained 20.60% while the Class A shares of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund finished the fiscal year with a total return of 19.71%. For the first half of calendar year 2013, the S&P 500® gained 13.82% while the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund rose 15.84%.
In spite of a host of headwinds, markets exhibited robust advances over the last year, with all domestic sectors gaining ground. One of the biggest surprises for the first half of 2013 was the lack of damage from the fiscal cliff tax increases, which reduced personal income without significantly impacting consumer spending. Sequestration spending cuts also took effect in early March lopping off 2% from overall government expenditures, which comprise upward of 20-25% of U.S. GDP (however much of this will be implemented over time). The real upside surprise from Washington was the bipartisan debt ceiling compromise that allowed it to avoid a repeat of the showdown that ultimately led to a downgrade in federal debt in 2011. Along with sustained consumer spending and reduced political uncertainty, the housing rebound has also begun to provide a lift to the economy. Increasing prices and a declining supply of houses has spurred new housing construction to such an extent that it has actually added to, rather than subtracted from, economic growth for the first time in six years.
All sectors gained ground for the year with consumer discretionaries, healthcare (both overweights) and financials advancing the most and tech, telecom and utilities (all relative underweights) trailing most other sectors. During the last 12 months the portfolio was helped by stock picks in the healthcare (Vertex and Celgene) and technology sectors and hurt by stock picks in consumer staples (Mead Johnson) and financials (Capital One), as well as cash drag.
Looking at the portfolio sector by sector, over the last year we concentrated our stock picking efforts on seeking out companies that have a definitive competitive advantage and a runway to consumer growth patterns, both domestically, but also in emerging markets. Areas fitting this pattern we called the three M’s, all of which continue to be themes in the portfolio.
Media: which has enormous potential growth internationally through several channels (including streaming video and audio – which is very scalable) and provides margin protection due to intellectual property rights (IP).
Molecular Biology: which encompasses both drug companies and biotech. These firms again have protections from competition through IP and have an expanding customer base as their inroads into emerging markets become more profitable as those countries grow richer and can afford more sophisticated treatments.
Mobile: as more content migrates onto mobile platforms and more cell phones and smart phones are sold into emerging markets, companies that can leverage, capitalize and monetize their mobile presence will outmaneuver their competition.
More recently we have also increased our allocation to industrials which should benefit from the infrastructure build out needed to exploit fracking technology. Cheap energy costs in the U.S. along with slow growing labor costs and improving productivity have also begun to encourage the on shoring of some industrial production back to the U.S. (especially in light of fast growing wages in China, and rising transport costs) which will help further boost the sector. We have largely avoided the utilities and telecom sectors whose bond-like characteristics and high dividend rates have driven up valuations as investors bid them up in a desperate search for yields. These same characteristics will likely work against them as interest rates begin to rise.
Going forward, earnings should play an increasingly positive role in equity markets. While profitability is high by historical standards, earnings peaks are generally associated with strong, vibrant economic activity. Given the recession in Europe, slowdown in China, emerging market doldrums and high unemployment in the U.S., it is difficult to fathom that economic activity, and the resultant earnings, have peaked.
We will continue to seek opportunities both domestically and worldwide that meet our investment criteria in an effort to provide a good risk adjusted return for our shareholders going forward, and at the same time the Fund will continue to take advantage of its mandate to protect capital by tactically raising cash and use its short-selling capabilities when we believe it is warranted. Thank you for your continued support.
Respectfully,
Manu P. Daftary, Portfolio Manager

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end is available at www.quakerfunds.com or by calling us toll free at 800-220-8888. Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Class A shares of the Fund have a maximum sales charge of 5.50%.
The line graph and performance table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder might pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Total return calculations reflect expense reimbursements and fee waivers in the applicable periods. See financial highlights for periods where fees were waived or reimbursed.
The Fund’s portfolio holdings may differ significantly from the securities held in the index and, unlike a mutual fund, an unmanaged index assumes no transaction costs, taxes, management fees or other expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index.
The S&P 500® Total Return Index (“Index”) is a widely recognized, unmanaged index consisting of the approximately 500 largest companies in the United States as measured by market capitalization. The index assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Expense Information (Unaudited)
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 you 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, 2013 through June 30, 2013.
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 (“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 (“1940 Act”). The Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Trust currently has seven series: Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund (formerly, Quaker Akros Absolute Strategies Fund) (“Akros Absolute Return”), Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (“Event Arbitrage”), Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (“Global Tactical Allocation”), Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value”), Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (“Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation”), Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (“Small-Cap Value”) and Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (“Strategic Growth”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, “Funds”). All Funds are diversified with the exception of Akros Absolute Return and Event Arbitrage. The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below.
Akros Absolute Return commenced operations on October 4, 2010 in conjunction with the reorganization of the Akros Absolute Return Fund. The predecessor Absolute Return Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2005. Strategic Growth and Small-Cap Value commenced operations on November 25, 1996. Mid-Cap Value commenced operations on December 31, 1997. Global Tactical Allocation commenced operations on May 1, 2008. Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation commenced operations on September 30, 2008. Event Arbitrage commenced operations on June 7, 2010 in conjunction with the reorganization of the Pennsylvania Avenue Event Driven Fund (“Event Driven Fund”). The predecessor Event Driven Fund commenced operations on September 19, 2002. The investment objective of these Funds is to seek long-term growth of capital. The investment objective of these funds is non-fundamental in that this objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) without shareholder approval.
The Funds currently offer three classes of shares (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Shares). Class A Shares are charged a front-end sales charge and a distribution and servicing fee; Class C shares are charged a distribution fee, but bear no front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”); and Institutional Class Shares bear no front-end sales charge or CDSC, but have higher minimum investment thresholds. Quaker Funds, Inc. (“QFI”), the investment adviser to each of the Funds, has the ability to waive the minimum investment for Institutional Class shares at its discretion.
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 (“GAAP”).
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.
Debt and other fixed-income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service (which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, ratings, and dealer and exchange quotations), the use of which has been approved by the Board.
Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.
The Funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of purchase and sale transactions or to defend the portfolio against currency fluctuations. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. These contracts are valued daily, and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
The Funds have adopted fair valuation procedures to value securities at fair market value in certain circumstances, and the Trust has 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.
The Fund is required to disclose information regarding the fair value measurements of the Fund’s assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. The disclosure requirements utilize a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data, minimize the use of unobservable inputs and establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including the pricing model used and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s private equity holdings are the cost of prior transactions in the secondary market, prior stock repurchase offers from the company, single broker quotes and discounts applied for a lack of marketability. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level I — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level II — Prices determined using significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Municipal securities, long-term U.S. Government obligations and corporate debt securities

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
are valued in accordance with the evaluated price supplied by the pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, warrants that do not trade on an exchange, OTC options and international equity securities valued by an independent third party in order to adjust for stale pricing and foreign market holidays.
Level III — Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions). For restricted equity securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used in determining fair value. These are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
For international equity securities traded on a foreign exchange or market which closes prior to a Fund’s Valuation Time, in order to adjust for events which occur between the close of the foreign exchange they are traded on and the close of the New York Stock Exchange, a fair valuation model is used, and these securities are categorized as Level 2.
A Fund may hold securities, some of which are classified as Level 3 investments (as defined below). Level 3 investments have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. In determining the fair value of these investments, management uses the market approach which includes as the primary input the capital balance reported; however, adjustments to the reported capital balance may be made based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the attributes of the interest held, including the
rights and obligations, and any restrictions or illiquidity of such interests, and the fair value of these securities.
The value of a foreign security is generally determined as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), if earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. If market quotations are not readily available for a foreign security or an event has occurred that caused a quotation to be unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value foreign securities using the procedures described below.
The Trust has adopted fair valuation procedures to value securities at fair market value when independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, and the Trust has established a Valuation Committee that is responsible for determining when fair valuing a security is necessary and appropriate. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available may be valued based upon valuation methods that include: (i) multiple of earnings; (ii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues; (iii) discounts from market prices of similar freely traded securities; or (iv) a combination of these methods. Securities may also be priced using fair value pricing methods when their closing prices do not reflect their market values at the time the Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) because an event had occurred since the closing prices were established on the domestic or foreign exchange or market but before the Fund’s NAV calculation.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of June 30, 2013 in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities:

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 accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation ASC 740, (“ASC 740”), each Fund recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. If this threshold is met, a Fund measures the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the four open tax years as of June 30, 2013 and has determined that the implementation of ASC 740 does not have a material impact 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. 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.
Certain Funds may 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. Options Contracts Written. Certain Funds may write options to manage exposure to certain changes in the market. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain from investments equal to the amount of the premium received. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium and the amount for effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received reduces the cost of the security purchased by the Fund.
A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised.
In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.
E. Purchased Options. Certain Funds may purchase call options in anticipation of an increase in the market value of securities of the type in which they may invest. The purchase of a call option will entitle a Fund, in return for the premium paid, to purchase specified securities at a specified price during the option period. A Fund will ordinarily realize a gain if, during the option period, the value of such securities exceeded the sum of the exercise price, the premium paid and transaction costs; otherwise, the Fund will realize either no gain or a loss on the purchase of the call option. A Fund will normally purchase put options in anticipation of a decline in the market value of securities in its portfolio (“protective puts”) or in securities in which it may invest. The purchase of a put option will entitle the Fund, in exchange for the premium paid, to sell specified securities at a specified price during the option period. The purchase of protective puts is designed to offset or hedge against a decline in the market value of the Fund’s securities. Put options may also be purchased by a Fund for the purpose of affirmatively benefiting from a decline in the price of securities which it does not own. The Fund will ordinarily realize a gain if, during the option period, the value of the underlying securities decreased below the exercise price sufficiently to more than cover the premium and transaction costs; otherwise the Fund will realize either no gain or a loss on the purchase of the put option. Gains and losses on the purchase of protective put options would tend to be offset by countervailing changes in the value of the underlying portfolio securities.
F. Futures Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into financial futures contracts, to the extent permitted by their investment policies and objectives, for bona fide hedging and other permissible risk management purposes including protecting against anticipated changes in the value of securities a Fund intends to purchase. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash or securities as initial margin.
Additional securities are also segregated as collateral up to the current market value of the financial futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund, depending on the fluctuation in the value of the underlying financial instruments. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the variation

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
margin. When the financial futures contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recognized equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contracts. The risks associated with entering into financial futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, investing in financial futures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
G. 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 Funds’ 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.
H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on their non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
I. Portfolio Investment Risks. Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future disruptive political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other unfavorable foreign government laws and restrictions. In addition, investments in certain countries may carry risks of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments that adversely affect investments in those countries. Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers in industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.
Akros Absolute Return and Event Arbitrage are not “diversified” Funds, which means that each of these Fund’s may allocate their investments to a relatively small number of issuers or to a single industry, making the Fund’s more susceptible to adverse developments of a single user or industry. As a result, investing in these Fund’s is potentially more risky than investing in a diversified fund that is otherwise similar to these Fund’s.
J. 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.
K. Expense Allocations. Expenses that are not series (Fund) specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Trust’s total net assets.
L. Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends at least annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Board. 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.
M. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, and those differences could be significant.
N. 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 102% of the market value of the loaned securities. 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 on demand.
O. Derivative Instruments. The Funds have adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that the Funds disclose: a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; and b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
The Funds traded financial instruments where they are considered to be a seller of credit derivatives in accordance with authoritative guidance under GAAP on derivatives and hedging.
The fair value of derivative instruments and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk at June 30, 2013 was as follows:

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, the differing book/tax treatment of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on forward foreign currency contracts, and outstanding PFIC adjustments.
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 31 and from ordinary losses incurred after December 31.
Under current tax law, foreign currency and net capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Funds elected to defer net capital and currency losses as indicated in the chart below.
At June 30, 2013, the capital loss carryovers for the Funds were as follows:
| | Post December 31, 2010 Capital Losses No Expiration | | | Capital Loss Carryovers Expiring | | Post-October Capital Loss | |

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 10 — Indemnifications
Under the Trust’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 Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications.
The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependant on future claims that may be made against the Trust, and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 11 — Securities Lending
The Funds hold the Mount Vernon Securities Lending Trust Prime Portfolio as cash collateral, which is a registered money market fund whose main objective is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. It primarily invests in Certificates of Deposits, Asset Backed and Financial Company Commercial Paper, and Repurchase Agreements.
At June 30, 2013, the aggregate market value of loaned securities and the value of the cash collateral the Funds received is as follows:
| | Loaned Securities Market Value | | Value of Cash Collateral | | % of Net Assets |
Akros Absolute Return | | $ | 250,365 | | | $ | 281,860 | | | | 6.71 | % |
Event Arbitrage | | | 4,084,057 | | | | 4,272,213 | | | | 6.46 | % |
Global Tactical Allocation | | | 1,506,032 | | | | 1,555,375 | | | | 23.55 | % |
Mid-Cap Value | | | 2,288,363 | | | | 2,395,433 | | | | 26.90 | % |
Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation | | | 764,032 | | | | 837,630 | | | | 24.32 | % |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Quaker Investment Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund, Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund, Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, and Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, (the “Funds”) each a series of Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended were audited by other auditors, whose report dated August 29, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on such statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate procedures where replies from brokers were unable to be obtained. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund, Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund, Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, and Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, as of June 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory and
Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on March 14, 2013, the Independent Trustees of the Board of the Trust (“Trustees” or “Board”) considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Quaker Funds, Inc. (“Adviser”) and each of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Adviser and Akros Capital, LLC, Aronson Johnson Ortiz, LP, Century Management, Inc., DG Capital Management and Kennedy Capital Management, Inc. (collectively, “Agreements”) with regard to each Fund. At the meeting, the Independent Trustees reported to the full Board their considerations with respect to the Agreements, and the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, considered and approved the renewal of the Agreements. Each of the Agreements was approved for a one year period, except for the Quaker Small Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund and the Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund, which were approved for a six-month period.
In considering the continuation of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements, the Trustees considered the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each of the sub-advisers, the 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 the Adviser and each of the sub-advisers derived from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees carefully analyzed the information provided to them by the Adviser and each of the sub-advisers, focusing particularly on the level of advisory fees and expenses of each Fund and the performance of each Fund compared to funds with similar investment objectives.
The Board considered the services provided by the Adviser and the sub-advisers to the Funds and their shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of each Fund, compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies and restrictions for each Fund, compliance by the personnel at the Adviser and sub-advisers with the Trust’s Code of Ethics, as well as the Codes of Ethics applicable to their firms, and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the sub-advisers and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process as evidenced by reports provided during the course of the year. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Adviser’s efforts to control expenses as the Trust’s assets decreased while maintaining service levels committed to Fund matters. The 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 Board noted that during the prior year, the Adviser had implemented measures to reduce overall costs, including by working with the Board to reduce the costs of the Funds’ third-party service providers. The Board noted the benefits provided to Fund shareholders through each shareholder’s ability to exchange investments between Funds and to reinvest Fund dividends into additional shares of a Fund. The Independent Trustees also acknowledged the Adviser’s commitment to servicing the Funds as its only client and the nature of the non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds, such as the supervision of the Funds’ other third-party services providers by the Adviser. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Adviser and the sub-advisers.
With respect to the Funds’ investment performance, the Trustees reviewed each Fund’s performance compared to both its Morningstar peer group and relative benchmark indices over one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods, as applicable. The Trustees considered factors, including but not limited to the sub-advisers’ management style and overall market conditions that had affected the performance of each Fund relative to its benchmark. The Trustees noted the continued improvement in the performance of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund and Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund on an absolute basis and against their benchmarks. The Board concluded that the Quaker Small Cap Value Fund, Quaker Mid Cap Value Fund, and Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund had performed in line with expectations in light of market conditions over the past several years. With respect to the Quaker Small Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund and the Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund, the Trustees noted their continued underperformance for the 1-year, 3-year and since inception periods and concluded that it was not satisfied with each of the Fund’s performance.
The Trustees considered the costs of the services provided to the Trust and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ willingness to waive fees. The Board also considered that the Adviser and sub-advisers might be able to recover some of its waived fees in the future. The Board noted the Adviser’s efforts to improve services provided to Fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide regulatory initiatives. The Trustees noted that the Adviser continued to subsidize the operation of the Funds and that such subsidies had materially affected its profitability. Because the Adviser has no other advisory accounts, the Trustees did not consider the relationship between the Adviser’s advisory fees compared to other accounts that the Adviser advises.
The Trustees considered whether there are any “fall out” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Adviser or a sub-adviser as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Based on the information provided, the Trustees noted that there did not appear to be any significant benefits in this regard.
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Trustees concluded that with the exception of the Quaker Small Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund and the Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund, the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s and each of the sub-advisers’ services, as applicable, and that the Adviser 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 Quaker Small Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund and the Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund, the Trustees directed the Adviser to evaluate the Fund’s short and longer-term performance and provide a recommendation to the Trustees for future action.
After evaluation of the 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 the Adviser and each of the sub-advisers, the Trustees determined the level of fees to be paid to the Adviser and each of the sub-advisers to be reasonable.
The Board discussed in detail the content of the information provided by the Adviser and each of the sub-advisers and raised specific questions they had from their individual reviews. In voting unanimously to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-advisory Agreements, based on the various considerations discussed above, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the approval of each of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of the Funds. With respect to the Quaker Small Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund and the Quaker Absolute Return Fund, the Trustees concluded that due to the continued underperformance of the Fund’s sub-adviser, it was appropriate to renew the sub-advisory agreement for less than the traditional full-year period. Accordingly, these sub-advisory agreements would only be renewed for a six-month period.
