Performance Update
Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (QEAAX, QEACX, QEAIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund generally invests 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
The Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund returned 19.31% (Class A Shares) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This compares favorably with a total return of 14.43% of the S&P 500® Total Return Index.
This year saw a major change for our Fund: in early June, following approval by our investors, our predecessor fund, the Pennsylvania Avenue Event-Driven Fund, became the Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund. I am excited about the new home for the Fund within the Quaker family of funds. We wanted to make the Fund available to investors for the long run so that our unique strategy remains available to retail investors.
As markets overall improved during the last year, some of the strategies that the Fund invests in also showed a recovery from the effects of the near meltdown of the financial sector. Distressed securities investments come first and foremost to mind with an unprecedented performance. The large increase in corporate bankruptcies that had been anticipated by some observers was much more moderate and short lived. Financing became available readily and today companies entering bankruptcy proceedings often do so with prepackaged financing and we rarely see the extreme levels of distress that occurred a year ago, such as the much written-about bankruptcy of General Growth Properties, some of whose bonds we purchased after the bankruptcy filing. The biggest financial distress today can not be found in the corporate world but among consumers. The Fund has invested in several asset-backed securities in which second lien home loans have been securitized and which have an additional level of guarantee from a monoline insurer. Although the guarantor is also in distress, this risk is reflected in the price at which we acquired these securities so we feel the overall risk/return profile is very attractive.
The Fund has also entered and closed a number of capital structure arbitrage positions. For example, we closed our position on Volkswagen which we entered shortly after the well-publicized short squeeze triggered by Porsche’s revelation of an almost 25% stake. In one of our rare excursions in non-U.S. companies, we were long Volkswagen’s preferred shares and short the common. Porsche has since been taken over by Volkswagen, its options have been liquidated and we believed that there was not much upside left in the arbitrage. We since have entered a number of other arbitrage positions in this strategy. In our merger arbitrage strategy we have seen much volatility over the last year. During the first calendar quarter of 2010, annualized spreads on most merger arbitrage investments tightened to levels in the low to mid single digits, which made them unappealing to us. Many transactions traded above the level at which a buyer was willing to acquire the firm as takeover mania led some speculators to hope that greater fools would emerge and top the bid. In a few select cases, most notably the Cadbury/Kraft merger, this gamble worked.* In many instances it did not. We held back from merger arbitrage during that time and were rewarded during the market selloff in May when merger spreads temporarily widened into the double digits, with a few high risk transactions even reaching over 20% annualized returns. Since then spreads have normalized and are now at levels where attractive investments can be made with justifiable risk exposure.
We also have positions in miscellaneous other strategies. A recent arbitrage in a Dutch tender offer is promising so far. We also have a remaining position in one of the last two special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACS”) available. Although the SPAC market has pretty much disappeared — with two notable exceptions — we were surprised to see earlier in the year that some arbitrageurs are still promoting their funds discussing this strategy as if it were a major part of their investments. The truth is that it is of mere historical interest.
I wish all investors a prosperous year and thank you for your continued support in our new home, the Quaker Funds.

Performance Update
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, 2010, the MSCI World Index (“MSCI World”) (a global market proxy) gained 10.20% while the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund finished the fiscal year with a gain of 10.24%. For the first half of the 2010 calendar year, the MSCI World lost —9.84% while the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund fell 6.48%.
The year 2009 continued a trend started in 2008 in which stocks correlated to each other with an over 90% frequency. In such high correlation environments, we resign ourselves to the fact that stock picking becomes very difficult. However, what made 2009 particularly challenging for us was the sudden switch from the market rewarding high quality stocks (which are our bread and butter) to rewarding lower quality stocks as the tail risk of bankruptcy and depression was lifted by massive government intervention in the capital markets.
By most measures, 2010 began on a brighter note with economies around the globe posting strong results in the first quarter. Growth in emerging countries like China and India has recovered much faster than in the developed world due to: 1) lack of financial leverage; 2) more effective fiscal stimulus; and 3) low levels of domestic consumption. In fact, it is likely that in 2010 corporate profit growth will occur in those industries that will benefit most directly from global stimulus measures through increased exports or multinational partnerships.
In anticipation of this, we continue to maintain several themes in the portfolio, anchored by stock picks in the materials and energy sectors. We continue to favor energy companies due in part to the fact that global spare capacity is becoming increasingly tight. We like energy companies that are growing their production reserves or have long-lived reserves, have good balance sheets and cash flow characteristics, and have conservative managements. In materials, we like companies that are in the business of supplying commodities that are in short supply in Asia and which are essential building blocks for their economic growth: copper, iron ore and coal, as well as construction materials. In a similar theme, we hold a significant investment in the healthcare sector, concentrating on pharmaceutical companies who are exhibiting accelerating revenue growth from emerging economies (China, for example, is on track to implement universal healthcare, with an emphasis on rural coverage, by 2020).
In technology, we are invested in companies that are exposed to wireless growth, mobile computing and storage. All should benefit from increasing levels of consumer spending worldwide. In finance, we are invested in US commercial banks that are seeing a turn in their loan losses and are also benefiting from a return of their traditional business of lending. And finally, in consumer staples and consumer discretionary we like companies that have global brands and have high growth businesses in international markets. Here, we own a company that is a leading provider of infant formula in China and a U.S. casino company with a large presence in Macau.
Going forward, we believe developed markets could continue to face headwinds due to high levels of debt and unemployment and also the withdrawal of stimulus measures, while investors in Asia and Latin America are already looking beyond the financial crisis and are making long-term commitments to countries in those areas. While we continue to find opportunities that meet our investment criteria (which include companies characterized by solid earnings growth, strong balance sheets and significant free cash flow), in the near-term, we have insulated the portfolio with cash during the recent period of volatility. Given the recent European sovereign crisis and flight out of the Euro, we have been focusing on capital preservation by raising cash and diversifying our country risk.

Performance Update
Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (QLSAX, QLSCX, QLSIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective primarily by investing in equity securities and selling equity securities short as a hedge against adverse market conditions.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the S&P 500® returned 14.43% and the Fund returned —19.94%. U.S domestic equity markets finished the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 lower with the S&P 500® Total Return Index down —11.43% while the Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund was up 2.24%. The year-to-date return for the S&P 500® in 2010 is —6.65% and is —0.36% for the Fund.
Equity market dynamics in the third and fourth quarters of 2009 were characterized by low volatility after the rally from the March trough and relentless, sustained trend extension, in the absence of typical market reaction to sentiment extremes. Indeed, equity markets were found to defy gravity in the second half of 2009 and during much of the first quarter of 2010.
We reported at the end of the first quarter of 2010: “We anticipate there will be more volatility ahead with potentially abrupt and sizable corrections. A few things are important to note: Complacency has returned to the markets and bullish sentiment is pushing extremes.”
We entered the second quarter of 2010 with a defensive position, fully hedged with the expectation of adding shorts as market activity so justified. As the market struggled higher the first few weeks of April, we added conservative short exposure into the twelve month S&P 500® closing peak of 1217 on April 23, 2010. From that point the market sold off significantly and abruptly to end the quarter at 1030, down over 15% from the peak. During the same time the Fund rose 1.2%. The Fund was rewarded for its defensive positioning as the sentiment extremes did, indeed, signal an imminent market correction.
Complacency was replaced by fear as the VIX (S&P 500® Volatility Index) soared from 15.73 on April 20, 2010, to 45.79 on May 20, 2010, just a month later. Investors discovered a new sense of pessimism towards the economy, and fear replaced greed as the most significant investor emotion. The precipitous decline left the market in a short term oversold condition at second quarter end, giving the Fund an opportunity to ease off some short exposure and add long exposure in anticipation of a potential relief rally. Currently, our allocation model stands in a moderately bullish position. However, we anticipate more fluctuation in the coming months.
Looking ahead, we do not see much to be enthusiastic about economically. We believe the keys to sustained economic recovery from the solvency crisis of 2008 are private spending and residential real estate. Unemployment is not improving quickly or dramatically, which means that private spending should continue to be depressed. Residential real estate is once again trending downward after a short tax credit hiatus (which simply borrowed from future demand).
Risks and losses have been effectively shifted from private decision makers to public tax payers (e.g., bailout of supposedly too-big-to-fail financial firms). Washington continues to spend, despite deep budget deficits. Gigantic entitlement obligations loom on the horizon. We agree with Harvard’s Niall Ferguson that these kinds of situations have rarely ended well through history. Some combination of printing money and raising tax burdens usually ensues.
We believe that, at best, the economic recovery will be muted and drawn out and, at worst, the U.S. economy will double dip into a deeper recession. Either way, some or all of the circumstances that lead to a new secular bull market (nominal rates, barriers to credit, savings rates, tax burdens, inflation and unemployment all high but falling; valuations, real estate values, and stock allocations historically low) may develop before the market gets permanently on track again, and investors could feel from pain before we are there.
Despite our economic outlook, we recognize that even in a secular market phase that goes nowhere, there are both rallies and corrections. We will continue to observe the economic and financial backdrop as we apply our investment models to best position the portfolio for the near term. For this reason we have moved from the net short allocation we held for much of the second quarter in favor of an allocation that can benefit more from market advances.
We are optimistic that we should have many opportunities to harvest alpha (risk-adjusted returns) from the markets over the coming months, and that within a year or two the economy will have muddled through the quagmire and the sun will shine brightly. At that time we will be glad to have the opportunity to be 100% long.

Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (QGASX, QGCSX, QGISX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) and foreign securities traded on U.S. stock exchanges, with market capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index (the “Index”).
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the annual period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund returned 11.75% and underper-formed the Index by 621 basis points. Because of the abnormal investment environment, the Fund, throughout this period, held a substantial amount of cash and engaged in shorting the Index in an effort to achieve its objective to secure gains with a minimum amount of volatility. The Fund probably averaged very close to fifty percent (50%) cash throughout the period. The Index accrued all of its advantage during the third quarter of the last calendar year, a quarter that marked a dramatic rebound after one of the most devastating market collapses of the century. Since inception, despite the debacle following its launch, the Fund has increased +12.75% and, despite a gargantuan gain of 108% from the March 2009 bottom, the Index has decreased –4.69%. Controlling downside risk matters in the small-cap growth marketplace.
The average market cap of the Fund was $634 million, substantively less than the Index’s average of $978 million; its median market cap was $274 million, not quite one-half the Index’s average of $429 million. An important marker of long term outperformance of the Fund strategy versus the Index derives from its significantly lower price/earnings multiple (13.35 x for the Fund and 19.74 x for the Index) relative to its expected growth rate of earnings of its portfolio companies (20.73% for the Fund and 16.48% for the Index).
The most important short-term and intermediate-term influence on the small-cap market place is the Federal Reserve’s erratic (at best) attempts to manage the value of the currency, and, by derivation, its ultimate effect on the price level. For nearly one-half of a decade, its errors, signaled most importantly by increasing prices of gold and commodities, have wreaked havoc with small cap stocks. We witnessed such error, once again, during the past April and May as gold soared to new record high levels. Small-cap growth stocks floundered, losing over 18% from its April peak to its July bottom. Because the Fund has the opportunity to hold cash and to sell short the Index to manage the downside risks, it performed very well on the very worst days and during the very worst weeks. It finished the quarter in positive territory while the Index declined. If the Federal Reserve reverses its error during the upcoming months, small-cap stocks may be discounted to a point that they have an opportunity to achieve considerable returns. The Fund will continue to execute its strategy that attempts to make money in all market environments and that takes exceptional care to avoid any significant loss of capital.

Performance Update
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, 2010, the S&P 500® Total Return Index (the “S&P 500®”) (a broad based market proxy) gained 14.43% while the Class A shares of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund finished the fiscal year with a total return of 8.11%. For the first half of calendar year 2010, the S&P 500® fell 6.65% while the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund lost 7.56%.
The year 2009 continued a trend started in 2008 in which stocks correlated to each other with an over 90% frequency. In such high correlation environments, we resign ourselves to the fact that stock picking becomes very difficult. However, what made 2009 particularly challenging for us was the sudden switch (starting March 9, 2009 and continuing to the end of the year) from the market rewarding high quality stocks (which are our bread and butter) to rewarding lower quality stocks as the tail risk of bankruptcy and depression was lifted by massive government intervention in the capital markets.
By most measures, 2010 began on a brighter note with economies around the globe posting strong results in the first quarter, a period in which the phrase “sustainable economic expansion” was used increasingly in reference to the United States. Much of the optimism around economic growth in the U.S. seemed to be driven by the outlook for corporate profits which, in turn, are being driven by the global economic recovery, and increasing productivity levels. However, two big pieces of the economy, real estate and consumer spending, continued to struggle.
As the second quarter unfolded, the sovereign crisis in Europe began to heat up to critical levels, prompting a critical review of debt levels. The British Petroleum spill in the Gulf of Mexico, coupled with a rapidly imposed drilling moratorium also added to uncertainty. Currently, investors are also being buffeted by often conflicting political and economic forces, including a renewed austerity push in Europe and the U.S., new regulations being imposed on the financial and energy industries in the U.S. and, more recently, scaled back growth prospects in China. While the U.S. economy continues to look as if it will grow in 2010, 2011 will be burdened with continued budget deficits on the federal, state and local levels, diminishing stimulus measures, and rising taxes, adding much fog to both the economic and corporate profitability forecasts.
Going forward, while developed markets continue to face headwinds due to high levels of debt and unemployment, as well as the anticipated withdrawal of stimulus measures, investors in Asia and Latin America are already looking beyond the financial crisis and are making long term commitments to countries in those areas. While we continue to find opportunities both domestically and worldwide that meet our investment criteria (which include companies characterized by solid earnings growth, strong balance sheets and significant free cash flow), we have also buffered the portfolio with cash during the recent period of volatility. With correlations between stocks remaining high and volatility on the rise, it has been difficult to gain conviction in the near term, which is why we have been focusing on capital preservation by raising cash and trimming beta. However, with second quarter earnings reports coming out in late July, the outlook on the economy will become clearer as company executives convey their thoughts and forecasts for the second half of 2010.

Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (QUKTX, QCOCX, QCOIX)
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 a limited number of securities which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes show a high probability for superior growth.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
The Fund underperformed the S&P 500® Total Return Index (the “S&P 500®”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Our defensive positioning faced strong headwinds over the period, when economically-cyclical, lower-quality, and high-volatility stocks outperformed their more conservative, high quality brethren. It has been only recently (following the Greek debt crisis) that our positioning has been rewarded. We continue to maintain our view that this recovery is likely to move slowly, with many stops and starts and therefore we have maintained a predominantly defensive stance in our fully invested portfolio.
The powerful stock-market recovery that began in March of last year — and at one point had achieved an 80% move off the lows — came to a screeching halt in the second quarter of this year. The S&P 500® moved into official “correction” territory, falling 11.43% for the quarter, the largest decline since the first quarter of 2008, when the financial crisis was in full swing. Some of the explanations for the drop-off seem to be continuations of recent woes, and others are new-found worries: the European sovereign-debt crisis; financial-industry reform (last quarter it was health care reform); slowing growth in China; the “flash-crash;” the British Petroleum oil spill; the strong-dollar effect on exports (and earnings); and decidedly mixed economic data, especially as it pertains to housing, employment, and consumer confidence.
This mixed economic picture is not surprising to us; we had never been adherents of the “V-shaped” recovery thesis. Especially given the depths of the recession, the recovery is looking sub-par by historical standards. The first-quarter 2010 gross domestic product (“GDP”) was recently revised down to +2.7%, and while the consensus for the second quarter of 2010 is +3.6%, the growth for the second half of the year is now expected to moderate to +3%, with a bias toward slower. We would not be surprised to see GDP growth averaging less than +2.5% for several quarters to come.

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 Index.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, the Fund generated a gain of 27.69% versus a gain of 28.91% for the benchmark. Every sector in the benchmark and the Fund posted positive returns. Relative performance was helped by stock selection, particularly in the technology, energy, and financial sectors. The past year witnessed the recovery of the market following the devastating bear market of 2008 and early 2009, and has ended with the return of a pessimistic market environment. We were positioned defensively during the downturn which helped relative performance, but due to the rapidity of the recovery, the performance of the portfolio lagged that of the benchmark during the first few months of the 2009 bull market. Additionally, this initial rally was fueled by many companies with low profitability and high debt levels, which we typically avoid. We are now pleased to report that our repositioning of the portfolio has resulted in the fund outperforming the benchmark for the past three quarters, and we are comfortable that the companies in the portfolio are attractively priced for whatever economic scenario that might play out.
Looking forward, we believe that the recent correction in the market has turned optimism about an economic recovery into skepticism, resulting in much more favorable valuations for equities. As always, the pace of economic recovery will be difficult to predict, so we will continue to do what we have always done: we will focus our research on companies with the ability to generate superior returns on invested capital coupled with the ability to reinvest earnings back into their business. We remain confident that these companies will prove best able to create long-term value for shareholders.

Performance Update
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, 2010, the Fund’s performance was 16.57%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market) returned 21.48%. Working from the bottom up, we evaluate companies relative to their industry peers using three broad categories of attractiveness: value, management, and momentum. Value to us means fairly traditional ratios of price to fundamental value; management measures seek evidence that company management has and will continue to produce earnings power; and gauges of momentum help us determine when stocks might be expected to begin their ascent toward full valuation.
Aronson+Johnson+Ortiz’s (“AJO’s”) search for evidence of future earnings power, quality company management, and longer-term, stable momentum, in addition to low price, put us at a disadvantage throughout most of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. Financial stocks, in particular, posed a consistent challenge. During the second quarter of 2010, the market shift, albeit weak, benefited AJO’s overall positioning. Although we make no bets across economic sectors, our choices about where to invest and what to avoid were most effective within the healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors, while our biggest disappointments fell within technology and capital goods.
We were not surprised to see our performance lagging in a market driven by more speculative, low-quality names, but we were relieved when the fiscal year’s end brought light to the type of stocks we favor.

Expense Information
As a shareholder of a 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, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a 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 a Fund to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization
The Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”) 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 Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Trust currently has eight series: Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (“Event Arbitrage”), Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (“Global Tactical Allocation”), Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (“Long-Short Tactical Allocation’’), Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (“Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation”), 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”). Except for the Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, the Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund and the Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund, each Fund is a “diversified company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. 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. Capital Opportunities commenced operations on January 31, 2002. The investment objective of these Funds is to seek long-term growth of capital.
Global Tactical Allocation commenced operations on May 1, 2008. Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation commenced operations on September 30, 2008. Long-Short Tactical Allocation commenced operations on June 15, 2009 in conjunction with the reorganization of the Top Flight Long-Short Fund (“Top Flight Fund”). The predecessor Top Flight Fund commenced investment operations on December 31, 2002. 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. Unlike other Funds in the Trust, this investment objective 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). Formerly, Class B Shares were also offered by the Funds. Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase, and all outstanding Class B Shares have been converted to Class A Shares. Class A Shares are charged a front-end sales charge and a distribution and servicing fee; Class C Shares bear an additional distribution and servicing fee; and Institutional Class Shares bear no front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), but have higher minimum investment limitations.
Class C Shares purchased on or after July 1, 2008 are not subject to a CDSC. Quaker Funds, Inc., 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 of Trustees.
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.
2010 ANNUAL REPORT | 79
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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 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, 2010 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. 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.
The 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. Option Writing. The Funds may write covered options for hedging purposes or to close out a position. When a 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. Each 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 Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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. 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 also may 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.
G. 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.
H. 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.
I. Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends at least annually, usually payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust’s 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.
J. 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.
K. 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 on demand.
L. Derivative Instruments. Effective June 30, 2009, 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 adoption of the additional disclosure requirements did not materially impact the Funds’ financial statements.
The fair value of derivative instruments and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk at June 30, 2010 was as follows:

M. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the 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 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
Equity and option securities for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price and are categorized as Level 1. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value and are categorized as Level 1.
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 Funds have 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 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 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, 2010, 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 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.
As of June 30, 2010, the capital loss carryovers for the Funds were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Note 12 — 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 unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects this risk of loss to be remote.
Note 13 — Securities Lending
At June 30, 2010, 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 Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund and Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and the schedules of investments and schedules of securities sold short of Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund, Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund and Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation 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, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the periods indicated, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated 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, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (formerly Pennsylvania Avenue Event-Driven Fund) as of December 31, 2009, and for the fiscal years ended through December 31, 2009, were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated March 16, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The statement of changes in net assets of Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (formerly Top Flight Long-Short Fund) for the year ended September 30, 2008 and the financial highlights for each of the four years ended September 30, 2008 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated November 24, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
In conjunction with the launch of a new series, the Quaker Akros Absolute Strategies Fund (the “Absolute Strategies Fund”), of the Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including the Trustees who are not interested parties of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) considered a new Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Quaker Funds, Inc. (“QFI” or the “Adviser”) and Akros Capital, LLC (“Akros”) with respect to the Absolute Strategies Fund at a meeting held on February 18, 2010.
In arriving at their decision to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement the Board considered a variety of information concerning Akros, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of service provided to the Fund; (2) the level of the sub-advisory fee to be charged under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) the compliance program of the sub-adviser; (4) and any “fall out” or ancillary benefits enjoyed by Akros as a result of their relationships with the Absolute Strategies Fund.
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the quality of the portfolio management services that were to be provided provide to the Absolute Strategies Fund; the depth, experience and demonstrated consistency in investment approach of the portfolio management teams; and the quality of Akros’ reputation.
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 under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the level of fees to be paid to Akros were reasonable.
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Board concluded that the Absolute Strategies Fund was likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of Akros’ services, and that Akros has the ability to continue to provide these services based on their experience, operations and resources.
In voting unanimously to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with Akros based on the various considerations discussed above, the Board determined that the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Additionally, at a meeting held on April 29, 2010, the Independent Trustees of the Board of the Trust considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and QFI, and each of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreements between QFI and Aronson+Johnson+Ortiz, LP., DG Capital Management, Kennedy Capital Management, Inc. and Knott Capital Management (collectively the “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.
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.
2010 ANNUAL REPORT | 103
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.
