This graph depicts the performance of the Quaker Enhanced Stock Market Fund
versus the S & P 500 Total Return Index. It is important to note that the Quaker
Enhanced Stock Market Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund while the
indexes are not available for investment and are unmanaged. The comparison is
shown for illustrative purposes only.
Total Return

Commencement of operations
through 6/30/97
- -------------------------------
19.04%
- -------------------------------
The graph assumes an initial $25,000 investment at November 25, 1996. All
dividends and distributions are reinvested.
At June 30, 1997, the Fund would have grown to $29,761- total investment return
of 19.04% since November 25, 1996.
At June 30, 1997, a similar investment in the S & P 500 Total Return Index would
have grown to $29,639 - total investment return of 18.56% since November 25,
1996.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. A mutual fund's share
price and investment return will vary with market conditions, and the principal
value of shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original
cost.

Dear Shareholder:
The Quaker Family of Funds reached the end of its first fiscal year on June 30,
1997. Substantial progress was achieved during this initial business period.
Each of the six mutual funds in the Quaker Family opened for business on
November 25, 1996. Since then, many new investors have joined the Quaker Family
and the assets under management are growing steadily.
Our management philosophy remains very straightforward. We have chosen seasoned
investment professionals to manage each of the Quaker Funds. Each manager has a
clearly defined investment strategy unique to a particular mutual fund, and will
stick with that discipline in the future. The fees paid by our investors have
been set at competitive levels, and we will make every effort to reduce them as
assets grow in the future. And most important of all, we are dedicated to
providing each of our shareholders with quality service at all times.
Financial markets have been very favorable during the life of the Quaker Family
of Funds. Domestic equity markets have shown particular strength during the
first half of 1997, while fixed income results have been modestly positive. The
Quaker Enhanced Stock Market Fund, managed by John Dorian of Fiduciary Asset
Management, has outperformed the S&P 500 Index from the inception of the Fund on
November 25, 1996 through June 30, 1997. During that period, the Fund returned
19.0% while the Index grew by 18.6%. For three months ending with June, the Fund
returned 16.6% compared with 17.7% for the Index.
We appreciate your investment in the Quaker Family of Funds and we will work
hard to earn your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Peter F. Waitneight
Peter F. Waitneight
President

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Quaker Enhanced Stock Market Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of
shares of beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The
Trust, an open-end investment company, was organized on October 24, 1990 as a
Massachusetts Business Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of domestic
U.S. companies. The Fund began operations on November 25, 1996. The following is
a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
A. Security Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are carried at
value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market
system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York time on the day 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. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, if any, are valued by using an independent pricing
service or by following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates value.
B. Federal Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal income taxes
or personal holding company taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and personal holding companies and to make
sufficient distributions of taxable income to relieve it from substantially
all federal income taxes.
Due to a concentration of shareholders at June 30, 1997 the Fund is subject
to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to personal
holding companies.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and income tax purposes primarily because of losses
incurred subsequent of October 31, which are deferred for 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
the Fund.
C. Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual
basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
D. Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund generally declares dividends
annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust's Trustees.
In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net
realized gains through October 31 of that year. Distributions to
shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may make a
supplemental distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending
June 30.
E. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities,
expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual

results could differ from those estimates.
F. Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may acquire U. S. Government Securities or
corporate debt securities subject to repurchase agreements. A repurchase
agreement transaction occurs when the Fund acquires a security and
simultaneously resells it to the vendor (normally a member bank of the
Federal Reserve or a registered Government Securities dealer) for delivery
on an agreed upon market interest rate earned by the Fund effective for the
period of time during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Delivery
pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one to five days of the
purchase. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement which will
cause more than 10% of its net assets to be invested in repurchase
agreements which extend beyond seven days. In the event of bankruptcy of
the other party to a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience delays
in recovering its cash or the securities lent. To the extent that in the
interim the value of the securities purchased may have declined, the Fund
could experience a loss. In all cases, the creditworthiness of the other
party to a transaction is reviewed and found satisfactory by the Advisor.
Repurchase agreements are, in effect, loans of Fund assets. The Fund will
not engage in reverse repurchase transactions, which are considered to be
borrowings under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, Fiduciary Asset Management Company
(the "Advisor") provides the Fund with a continuous program of supervision of
the Fund's assets, including the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes
advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and
the purchase and sale of securities. As compensation for its services, the
Advisor receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.
Currently, the Fund does not offer its shares for sale in states which require
limitations to be placed on its expenses. The Advisor intends to voluntarily
waive all or a portion of its fee. There can be no assurance that the foregoing
voluntary fee waivers will continue. The Advisor has voluntarily waived its fee
amounting to $1,596 ($0.03 per share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"), provides
administrative services to and is generally responsible for the overall
management and day-to-day operations of the Fund pursuant to an accounting and
administrative agreement with the Trust. As compensation for its services, the
Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.175% of the Fund's first
$50 million of average daily net assets, 0.150% of the next $50 million of
average daily net assets, and 0.125% of its average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly fee of $2,000 for
accounting and recordkeeping services. Additionally, the Administrator charges
the Fund for servicing of shareholder accounts and registration of the Fund's
shares. The administrator also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved
with the daily valuation of portfolio securities. The administrator has
voluntarily waived a portion of its fee amounting to $7,950 ($0.16 per share)
for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain organization expenses totaling $23,333 and $833 were paid to a company
controlled by the Administrator and to an officer of the Fund, respectively, for
the period ended June 30, 1997.

The Fund's Distributor, Quaker Securities, Inc. (the "Distributor") was paid
commissions of $416 for purchases and sales of investments, other than
short-term investments for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor, the
Distributor or the Administrator.
NOTE 3 - SERVICE FEES
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "Act"), adopted a Shareholder Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement").
Pursuant to this Agreement, Quaker Funds, Inc. ("the "Sponsor") will provide
oversight with respect to the Fund's investment advisor, arrange for payment of
investment advisory and administrative fees, coordinate payments under the
Fund's Distribution Plan, develop communications with existing Fund
shareholders, assist in responding to shareholder inquiries, and will provide
other shareholder services. As compensation for the services, Quaker Funds, Inc.
receives 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Sponsor intends to
voluntarily waive all or a portion of its fee and reimburse expenses of the Fund
to limit total Fund operating expenses to 1.00% of the average daily net assets
of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the foregoing voluntary fee waivers
or reimbursements will continue. The Sponsor has voluntarily waived its fee
amounting to $638 and has reimbursed expenses totaling $39,103 for the period
ended June 30, 1997.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Expenses totaling $33,324 incurred in connection with its organization and the
registration of its shares, which were originally paid by the Fund's Sponsor,
have been assumed by the Fund.
The organization expenses are being amortized using the straight-line method
over a period of sixty months. Investors purchasing shares of the Fund bear such
expenses only as they are amortized against the Fund's investment income.
NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term investments,
aggregated $842,561 and $170,102, respectively, for the period ended June 30,

Independent Auditor's Report
July 28, 1997
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Quaker Enhanced Stock Market Fund
Rocky Mount, North Carolina
We have audited the statements of assets and liabilities, including the
schedules of investments, of the QUAKER ENHANCED STOCK MARKET FUND (one of the
portfolios constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June
30, 1997, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets
and the selected per share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996
(commencement of operations) to June 30, 1997. These financial statements and
per share data and ratios are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
per share data and ratios based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data and ratios
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1997, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the QUAKER ENHANCED STOCK MARKET FUND (one of the portfolios
constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June 30, 1997,
and the results of its operations and changes in its net assets and the selected
per share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996 (commencement of
operations) to June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

of 16.50% since November 25, 1996.
At June 30, 1997, a similar investment in the S & P 500 Total Return Index would
have grown to $29,639 - total investment return of 18.56% since November 25,
1996.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. A mutual fund's share

Dear Shareholder:
The Quaker Family of Funds reached the end of its first fiscal year on June 30,
1997. Substantial progress was achieved during this initial business period.
Each of the six mutual funds in the Quaker Family opened for business on
November 25, 1996. Since then, many new investors have joined the Quaker Family
and the assets under management are growing steadily.
Our management philosophy remains very straightforward. We have chosen seasoned
investment professionals to manage each of the Quaker Funds. Each manager has a
clearly defined investment strategy unique to a particular mutual fund, and will
stick with that discipline in the future. The fees paid by our investors have
been set at competitive levels, and we will make every effort to reduce them as
assets grow in the future. And most important of all, we are dedicated to
providing each of our shareholders with quality service at all times.
Financial markets have been very favorable during the life of the Quaker Family
of Funds. Domestic equity markets have shown particular strength during the
first half of 1997, while fixed income results have been modestly positive. The
Quaker Core Equity Fund, managed by Bruce Marra of West Chester Capital
Advisors, has performed well from the inception of the Fund on November 25, 1996
through June 30, 1997. During that period, the Fund returned 16.5% while the S&P
500 Index grew by 18.6%. For three months ending with June, the Fund returned
18.5% compared with 17.7% for the Index.
We appreciate your investment in the Quaker Family of Funds and we will work
hard to earn your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Peter F. Waitneight
Peter F. Waitneight
President

QUAKER CORE EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Quaker Core Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of shares of
beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust, an
open-end investment company, was organized on October 24, 1990, as a
Massachusetts Business Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity
securities of domestic U.S. companies. The Fund began operations on November 25,
1996. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund.
A. Security Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are carried at
value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market
system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York time on the day 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. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, if any, are valued by using an independent pricing
service or by following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates value.
B. Federal Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal income taxes
or personal holding company taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and personal holding companies and to make
sufficient distributions of taxable income to relieve it from substantially
all federal income taxes.
Due to a concentration of shareholders at June 30, 1997 the Fund is subject
to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to personal
holding companies.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and income tax purposes primarily because of losses
incurred subsequent to October 31, which are deferred for 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
the Fund.
C. Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual
basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
D. Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund generally declares dividends
annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust's Trustees.
In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net
realized gains through October 31 of that year. Distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may make a
supplemental distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending
June 30.
E. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities,
expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
<PAGE>
QUAKER CORE EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
F. Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may acquire U. S. Government Securities or
corporate debt securities subject to repurchase agreements. A repurchase
agreement transaction occurs when the Fund acquires a security and
simultaneously resells it to the vendor (normally a member bank of the
Federal Reserve or a registered Government Securities dealer) for delivery
on an agreed upon market interest rate earned by the Fund effective for the
period of time during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Delivery
pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one to five days of the
purchase. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement which will
cause more than 10% of its net assets to be invested in repurchase
agreements which extend beyond seven days. In the event of bankruptcy of
the other party to a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience delays
in recovering its cash or the securities lent. To the extent that in the
interim the value of the securities purchased may have declined, the Fund
could experience a loss. In all cases, the creditworthiness of the other
party to a transaction is reviewed and found satisfactory by the Advisor.
Repurchase agreements are, in effect, loans of Fund assets. The Fund will
not engage in reverse repurchase transactions, which are considered to be
borrowings under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, West Chester Capital Advisors,
Inc. (the "Advisor") provides the Fund with a continuous program of supervision
of the Fund's assets, including the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes
advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and
the purchase and sale of securities. As compensation for its services, the
Advisor receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.
Currently, the Fund does not offer its shares for sale in states which require
limitations to be placed on its expenses. The Advisor intends to voluntarily
waive all or a portion of its fee. There can be no assurance that the foregoing
voluntary fee waivers will continue. The Advisor has voluntarily waived its fee
amounting to $1,589 ($0.05 per share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"), provides
administrative services to and is generally responsible for the overall
management and day-to-day operations of the Fund pursuant to an accounting and
administrative agreement with the Trust. As compensation for its services, the
Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.175% of the Fund's first
$50 million of average daily net assets, 0.150% of the next $50 million of
average daily net assets, and 0.125% of its average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly fee of $2,000 for
accounting and recordkeeping services. Additionally, the Administrator charges
the Fund for servicing of shareholder accounts and registration of the Fund's
shares. The Administrator also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved
with the daily valuation of portfolio securities. The Administrator has
voluntarily waived a portion of its total fees amounting to $7,797 ($.23 per
share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain organization expenses totaling $23,333 and $833 were paid to a company
controlled by the Administrator and to an officer of the Fund, respectively, for
the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's Distributor, Quaker Securities, Inc. (the "Distributor") was paid
commissions of $1,979 for purchases and sales of investments, other than
short-term investments for the period ended June 30, 1997.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor, the
Distributor or the Administrator.
NOTE 3 - SERVICE FEES
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "Act"), adopted a Shareholder Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement").
Pursuant to this Agreement, Quaker Funds, Inc. (the "Sponsor") will provide
oversight with respect to the Fund's investment advisor, arrange for payment of
investment advisory and administrative fees, coordinate payments under the
Fund's Distribution Plan, develop communications with existing Fund
shareholders, assist in responding to shareholder inquiries, and will provide
other shareholder services. As compensation for these services, Quaker Funds,
Inc. receives 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Sponsor intends
to voluntarily waive all or a portion of its fee and reimburse expenses of the
Fund to limit total Fund operating expenses to 1.35% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the foregoing voluntary fee
waivers or reimbursements will continue. The Sponsor has voluntarily waived its
fee amounting to $530 and has reimbursed expenses totaling $32,372 for the
period ended June 30, 1997.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Expenses totaling $33,324 incurred in connection with its organization and the
registration of its shares, which were originally paid by the Fund's Sponsor,
have been assumed by the Fund.
The organization expenses are being amortized using the straight-line method
over a period of sixty months. Investors purchasing shares of the Fund bear such
expenses only as they are amortized against the Fund's investment income.
NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term investments,
aggregated $475,085 and $37,680 respectively, for the period ended June 30,
1997.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Quaker Core Equity Fund
Rocky Mount, North Carolina
We have audited the statements of assets and liabilities, including the
schedules of investments, of the QUAKER CORE EQUITY FUND (one of the portfolios
constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June 30, 1997,
and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the
selected per share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996
(commencement of operations) to June 30, 1997. These financial statements and
per share data and ratios are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
per share data and ratios based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data and ratios
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1997, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the QUAKER CORE EQUITY FUND (one of the portfolios constituting the
Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June 30, 1997, and the results of
its operations and changes in its net assets and the selected per share data and
ratios for the period from November 25, 1996 (commencement of operations) to
June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The graph assumes an initial $25,000 investment at November 25, 1996. All
dividends and distributions are reinvested.
At June 30, 1997, the Fund would have grown to $28,169 - total investment return
of 12.68% since November 25, 1996.
At June 30, 1997, a similar investment in the S & P 500 Total Return Index would
have grown to $29,639 - total investment return of 18.56% since November 25,
1996.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. A mutual fund's share
price and investment return will vary with market conditions, and the principal
value of shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original

Dear Shareholder:
The Quaker Family of Funds reached the end of its first fiscal year on June 30,
1997. Substantial progress was achieved during this initial business period.
Each of the six mutual funds in the Quaker Family opened for business on
November 25, 1996. Since then, many new investors have joined the Quaker Family
and the assets under management are growing steadily.
Our management philosophy remains very straightforward. We have chosen seasoned
investment professionals to manage each of the Quaker Funds. Each manager has a
clearly defined investment strategy unique to a particular mutual fund, and will
stick with that discipline in the future. The fees paid by our investors have
been set at competitive levels, and we will make every effort to reduce them as
assets grow in the future. And most important of all, we are dedicated to
providing each of our shareholders with quality service at all times.
Financial markets have been very favorable during the life of the Quaker Family
of Funds. Domestic equity markets have shown particular strength during the
first half of 1997, while fixed income results have been modestly positive. The
Quaker Aggressive Growth Fund, managed by Manu Daftary of DG Capital Management,
has not fully participated in the rise of the market from the inception of the
Fund on November 25, 1996 through June 30, 1997. During that period, the Fund
returned 12.7% while the S&P 500 Index grew by 18.6%. For three months ending
with June, the Fund returned 7.8% compared with 17.7% for the Index. The Fund
became defensive and raised cash in April when the market moved downward, and
did not fully participate in the strong recovery later in the quarter.
We appreciate your investment in the Quaker Family of Funds and we will work
hard to earn your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Peter F. Waitneight
Peter F. Waitneight
President

QUAKER AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Quaker Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of shares
of beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust,
an open-end investment company, was organized on October 24, 1990, as a
Massachusetts Business Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity
securities of domestic U.S. companies. The Fund began operations on November 25,
1996. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund.
A. Security Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are carried at
value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market
system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York time on the day 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. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, if any, are valued by using an independent pricing
service or by following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates value.
B. Federal Income Taxes - The Fund did not comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies for the
period ended June 30, 1997. Consequently, a provision for federal and state
income taxes on net investment income and net realized gains has been
included in the financial statements. Deferred income taxes have been
provided on the unrealized appreciation on investments for the period from
November 25, 1996 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 1997. It is the
intent on the Fund to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Service Code applicable to regulated investment companies in the future.
Quaker Funds, Inc. (the "Sponsor") has agreed to pay all taxes associated
with the Fund's current year tax status.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and income tax purposes primarily because of losses
incurred subsequent to October 31, which are deferred for 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
the Fund.
Due to a concentration of shareholders at June 30, 1997, the Fund is
subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code applicable to personal
holding companies. No provision has been made for personal holding company
taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to make sufficient distributions
of income to relieve it from substantially all personal holding company
taxes.
C. Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual
basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
<PAGE>
QUAKER AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
D. Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund generally declares dividends
annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust's Trustees.
In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net
realized gains through October 31 of that year. Distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may make a
supplemental distribution subsequent to its fiscal year ending June 30.
E. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities,
expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
F. Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may acquire U. S. Government Securities or
corporate debt securities subject to repurchase agreements. A repurchase
agreement transaction occurs when the Fund acquires a security and
simultaneously resells it to the vendor (normally a member bank of the
Federal Reserve or a registered Government Securities dealer) for delivery
on an agreed upon market interest rate earned by the Fund effective for the
period of time during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Delivery
pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one to five days of the
purchase. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement which will
cause more than 10% of its net assets to be invested in repurchase
agreements which extend beyond seven days. In the event of bankruptcy of
the other party to a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience delays
in recovering its cash or the securities lent. To the extent that in the
interim the value of the securities purchased may have declined, the Fund
could experience a loss. In all cases, the creditworthiness of the other
party to a transaction is reviewed and found satisfactory by the Advisor.
Repurchase agreements are, in effect, loans of Fund assets. The Fund will
not engage in reverse repurchase transactions, which are considered to be
borrowings under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, DG Capital Management, Inc. (the
"Advisor") provides the Fund with a continuous program of supervision of the
Fund's assets, including the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes advice
and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and the
purchase and sale of securities. As compensation for its services, the Advisor
receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
Currently, the Fund does not offer its shares for sale in states which require
limitations to be placed on its expenses. The Advisor intends to voluntarily
waive all or a portion of its fee. There can be no assurance that the foregoing
voluntary fee waivers will continue. The Advisor has voluntarily waived its fee
amounting to $3,457 ($0.05 per share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"), provides
administrative services to and is generally responsible for the overall
management and day-to-day operations of the Fund pursuant to an accounting and
administrative agreement with the Trust. As compensation for its services, the
Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.175% of the Fund's first
$50 million of average daily net assets, 0.150% of the next $50 million of
average daily net assets, and 0.125% of its average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly fee of $2,000 for
accounting and recordkeeping services. Additionally, the Administrator charges
the Fund for servicing of
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
shareholder accounts and registration of the Fund's shares. The Administrator
also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved with the daily valuation of
portfolio securities. The Administrator has voluntarily waived a portion of its
total fees amounting to $8,151 ($.11 per share) for the period ended June 30,
1997.
Certain organization expenses totaling $23,333 and $833 were paid to a company
controlled by the Administrator and to an officer of the Fund, respectively, for
the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's distributor, Quaker Securities, Inc. (the "Distributor") was paid
commissions of $17,165 for purchases and sales of investments other than
short-term investments for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor, the
Distributor or the Administrator.
NOTE 3 - SERVICE FEES
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "Act"), adopted a Shareholder Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement").
Pursuant to this Agreement, the Sponsor will provide oversight with respect to
the Fund's investment advisor, arrange for payment of investment advisory and
administrative fees, coordinate payments under the Fund's Distribution Plan,
develop communications with existing Fund shareholders, assist in responding to
shareholder inquiries, and will provide other shareholder services. As
compensation for these services, Quaker Funds, Inc. receives 0.25% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The Sponsor intends to voluntarily waive all or a
portion of its fee and reimburse expenses of the Fund to limit total Fund
operating expenses to 1.35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. There
can be no assurance that the foregoing voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements
will continue. The Sponsor has voluntarily waived its fee amounting to $1,153
and has reimbursed expenses and income taxes totaling $43,035 for the period
ended June 30, 1997.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Expenses totaling $33,324 incurred in connection with its organization and the
registration of its shares, which were originally paid by the Fund's Sponsor,
have been assumed by the Fund.
The organization expenses are being amortized using the straight-line method
over a period of sixty months. Investors purchasing shares of the Fund bear such
expenses only as they are amortized against the Fund's investment income.
NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term investments,
aggregated $5,784,011 and $4,905,840, respectively, for the period ended June
30, 1997.

Independent Auditor's Report
July 28, 1997
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Quaker Aggressive Growth Fund
Rocky Mount, North Carolina
We have audited the statements of assets and liabilities, including the
schedules of investments, of the QUAKER AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND (one of the
portfolios constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June
30, 1997, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets
and the selected per share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996
(commencement of operations) to June 30, 1997. These financial statements and
per share data and ratios are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
per share data and ratios based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data and ratios
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1997, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the QUAKER AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND (one of the portfolios
constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June 30, 1997,
and the results of its operations and changes in its net assets and the selected
per share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996 (commencement of
operations) to June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

of 20.35% since November 25, 1996.
At June 30, 1997, a similar investment in the Russell 2000 Index would have

Dear Shareholder:
The Quaker Family of Funds reached the end of its first fiscal year on June 30,
1997. Substantial progress was achieved during this initial business period.
Each of the six mutual funds in the Quaker Family opened for business on
November 25, 1996. Since then, many new investors have joined the Quaker Family
and the assets under management are growing steadily.
Our management philosophy remains very straightforward. We have chosen seasoned
investment professionals to manage each of the Quaker Funds. Each manager has a
clearly defined investment strategy unique to a particular mutual fund, and will
stick with that discipline in the future. The fees paid by our investors have
been set at competitive levels, and we will make every effort to reduce them as
assets grow in the future. And most important of all, we are dedicated to
providing each of our shareholders with quality service at all times.
Financial markets have been very favorable during the life of the Quaker Family
of Funds. Domestic equity markets have shown particular strength during the
first half of 1997, while fixed income results have been modestly positive. The
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, managed by Ted Aronson of Aronson + Partners, has
outperformed the Russell 2000 Index from the inception of the Fund on November
25, 1996 through June 30, 1997. During that period, the Fund returned 20.4%
while the Index grew by 14.4%. For three months ending with June, the Fund
returned 20.2% compared with 16.2% for the Index.
We appreciate your investment in the Quaker Family of Funds and we will work
hard to earn your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Peter F. Waitneight
Peter F. Waitneight
President

QUAKER SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of shares
of beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust,
an open-end investment company, was organized on October 24, 1990, as a
Massachusetts Business Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity
securities of domestic U.S. companies. The Fund began operations on November 25,
1996. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund.
A. Security Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are carried at
value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market
system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York time on the day 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. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, if any, are valued by using an independent pricing
service or by following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates value.
B. Federal Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal income taxes
or personal holding company taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and personal holding companies and to make
sufficient distributions of taxable income to relieve it from substantially
all federal income taxes.
Due to a concentration of shareholders at June 30, 1997 the Fund is subject
to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to personal
holding companies.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statements and tax purposes primarily because of losses incurred
subsequent to October 31, which are deferred for 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 the Fund.
C. Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual
basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
D. Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund generally declares dividends
annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust's Trustees.
In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net
realized gains through October 31 of that year. Distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may make a
supplemental distribution subsequent to its fiscal year ending June 30.
E. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities,
expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
<PAGE>
QUAKER SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
F. Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may acquire U. S. Government Securities or
corporate debt securities subject to repurchase agreements. A repurchase
agreement transaction occurs when the Fund acquires a security and
simultaneously resells it to the vendor (normally a member bank of the
Federal Reserve or a registered Government Securities dealer) for delivery
on an agreed upon market interest rate earned by the Fund effective for the
period of time during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Delivery
pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one to five days of the
purchase. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement which will
cause more than 10% of its net assets to be invested in repurchase
agreements which extend beyond seven days. In the event of bankruptcy of
the other party to a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience delays
in recovering its cash or the securities lent. To the extent that in the
interim the value of the securities purchased may have declined, the Fund
could experience a loss. In all cases, the creditworthiness of the other
party to a transaction is reviewed and found satisfactory by the Advisor.
Repurchase agreements are, in effect, loans of Fund assets. The Fund will
not engage in reverse repurchase transactions, which are considered to be
borrowings under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, Aronson + Partners (the "Advisor")
provides the Fund with a continuous program of supervision of the Fund's assets,
including the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes advice and
recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and the
purchase and sale of securities. As compensation for its services, the Advisor
receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
Currently, the Fund does not offer its shares for sale in states which require
limitations to be placed on its expenses. The Advisor intends to voluntarily
waive all or a portion of its fee. There can be no assurance that the foregoing
voluntary fee waivers will continue. The Advisor has voluntarily waived its fee
amounting to $4,183 for the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"), provides
administrative services to and is generally responsible for the overall
management and day-to-day operations of the Fund pursuant to an accounting and
administrative agreement with the Trust. As compensation for its services, the
Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.175% of the Fund's first
$50 million of average daily net assets, 0.150% of the next $50 million of
average daily net assets, and 0.125% of its average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly fee of $2,000 for
accounting and recordkeeping services. Additionally, the Administrator charges
the Fund for servicing of shareholder accounts and registration of the Fund's
shares. The Administrator also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved
with the daily valuation of portfolio securities. The Administrator has
voluntarily waived a portion of its total fees amounting to $8,295 ($ 0.09 per
share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain organization expenses totaling $23,333 and $833 were paid to a company
controlled by the Administrator and to an officer of the Fund, respectively, for
the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor,
Quaker Securities, Inc. (the "Distributor") or the Administrator.

NOTE 3 - SERVICE FEES
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "Act"), adopted a Shareholder Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement").
Pursuant to this Agreement, Quaker Funds, Inc., (the "Sponsor") will provide
oversight with respect to the Fund's investment advisor, arrange for payment of
investment advisory and administrative fees, coordinate payments under the
Fund's Distribution Plan, develop communications with existing Fund
shareholders, assist in responding to shareholder inquiries, and will provide
other shareholder services. As compensation for these services, Quaker Funds,
Inc. receives 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Sponsor intends
to voluntarily waive all or a portion of its fee and reimburse expenses of the
Fund to limit total Fund operating expenses to 1.35% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the foregoing voluntary fee
waivers or reimbursements will continue. The Sponsor has voluntarily waived its
fee amounting to $1,394 and has reimbursed expenses totaling $37,354 for the
period ended June 30, 1997.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Expenses totaling $33,324 incurred in connection with its organization and the
registration of its shares, which were originally paid by the Fund's Sponsor,
have been assumed by the Fund.
The organization expenses are being amortized using the straight-line method
over a period of sixty months. Investors purchasing shares of the Fund bear such
expenses only as they are amortized against the Fund's investment income.
NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term investments,
aggregated $1,916,760 and $819,890 respectively, for the period ended June 30,
1997.

Independent Auditor's Report
July 28, 1997
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund
Rocky Mount, North Carolina
We have audited the statements of assets and liabilities, including the
schedules of investments, of the QUAKER SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND (one of the
portfolios constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June
30, 1997, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets
and the selected per share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996
(commencement of operations) to June 30, 1997. These financial statements and
per share data and ratios are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
per share data and ratios based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data and ratios
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1997, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the QUAKER SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND (one of the portfolios constituting
the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June 30, 1997, and the
results of its operations and changes in its net assets and the selected per
share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996 (commencement of
operations) to June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

of 6.51% since November 25, 1996.
At June 30, 1997, a similar investment in the S & P 500 Total Return Index would
have grown to $29,639 - total investment return of 18.56% since November 25,
1996.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. A mutual fund's share
price and investment return will vary with market conditions, and the principal
value of shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original

July 31, 1997
Dear Shareholder:
The Quaker Family of Funds reached the end of its first fiscal year on June 30,
1997. Substantial progress was achieved during this initial business period.
Each of the six mutual funds in the Quaker Family opened for business on
November 25, 1996. Since then, many new investors have joined the Quaker Family
and the assets under management are growing steadily.
Our management philosophy remains very straightforward. We have chosen seasoned
investment professionals to manage each of the Quaker Funds. Each manager has a
clearly defined investment strategy unique to a particular mutual fund, and will
stick with that discipline in the future. The fees paid by our investors have
been set at competitive levels, and we will make every effort to reduce them as
assets grow in the future. And most important of all, we are dedicated to
providing each of our shareholders with quality service at all times.
Financial markets have been very favorable during the life of the Quaker Family
of Funds. Domestic equity markets have shown particular strength during the
first half of 1997, while fixed income results have been modestly positive. The
Quaker Sector Allocation Equity Fund, managed by Charlie Knott, of Logan Capital
Management, has not fully participated in the rise of the market from the
inception of the Fund on November 25, 1996 through June 30, 1997. During that
period, the Fund returned 6.5% while the S&P 500 Index grew by 18.6%. For three
months ending with June, the Fund returned 13.6% compared with 17.7% for the
Index. But during the first quarter of 1997, a commitment to oil and gas stocks
and real estate investment trusts did not produce positive results.
We appreciate your investment in the Quaker Family of Funds and we will work
hard to earn your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Peter F. Waitneight
Peter F. Waitneight
President

QUAKER SECTOR ALLOCATION EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Quaker Sector Allocation Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of
shares of beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The
Trust, an open-end investment company, was organized on October 24, 1990, as a
Massachusetts Business Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity
securities of domestic U. S. companies. The Fund began operations on November
25, 1996. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Fund.
A. Security Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are carried at
value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market
system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York time on the day 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. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, if any, are valued by using an independent pricing
service or by following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates value.
B. Federal Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal income taxes
or personal holding company taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and personal holding companies and to make
sufficient distributions of taxable income to relieve it from substantially
all federal income taxes.
Due to a concentration of shareholders at June 30, 1997 the Fund is subject
to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to personal
holding companies.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and income tax purposes primarily because of losses
incurred subsequent to October 31, which are deferred for 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
the Fund.
C. Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual
basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
D. Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund generally declares dividends
annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust's Trustees.
In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net
realized gains through October 31 of that year. Distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may make a
supplemental distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending
June 30.
E. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities,
expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
<PAGE>
QUAKER SECTOR ALLOCATION EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
F. Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may acquire U. S. Government Securities or
corporate debt securities subject to repurchase agreements. A repurchase
agreement transaction occurs when the Fund acquires a security and
simultaneously resells it to the vendor (normally a member bank of the
Federal Reserve or a registered Government Securities dealer) for delivery
on an agreed upon market interest rate earned by the Fund effective for the
period of time during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Delivery
pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one to five days of the
purchase. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement which will
cause more than 10% of its net assets to be invested in repurchase
agreements which extend beyond seven days. In the event of bankruptcy of
the other party to a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience delays
in recovering its cash or the securities lent. To the extent that in the
interim the value of the securities purchased may have declined, the Fund
could experience a loss. In all cases, the creditworthiness of the other
party to a transaction is reviewed and found satisfactory by the Advisor.
Repurchase agreements are, in effect, loans of Fund assets. The Fund will
not engage in reverse repurchase transactions, which are considered to be
borrowings under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, Logan Capital Management, Inc.
(the "Advisor") provides the Fund with a continuous program of supervision of
the Fund's assets, including the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes
advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and
the purchase and sale of securities. As compensation for its services, the
Advisor receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.
Currently, the Fund does not offer its shares for sale in states which require
limitations to be placed on its expenses. The Advisor intends to voluntarily
waive all or a portion of its fee. There can be no assurance that the foregoing
voluntary fee waivers will continue. The Advisor has voluntarily waived its fee
amounting to $2,387 ($0.04 per share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"), provides
administrative services to and is generally responsible for the overall
management and day-to-day operations of the Fund pursuant to an accounting and
administrative agreement with the Trust. As compensation for its services, the
Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.175% of the Fund's first
$50 million of average daily net assets, 0.150% of the next $50 million of
average daily net assets, and 0.125% of its average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly fee of $2,000 for
accounting and recordkeeping services. Additionally, the Administrator charges
the Fund for servicing of shareholder accounts and registration of the Fund's
shares. The Administrator also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved
with the daily valuation of portfolio securities. The Administrator has
voluntarily waived a portion of its total fees amounting to $7,915 ($.15 per
share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain organization expenses totaling $23,333 and $833 were paid to a company
controlled by the Administrator and to an officer of the Fund, respectively, for
the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's Distributor, Quaker Securities, Inc. (the "Distributor") was paid
commissions of $2,789 for purchases and sales of investments, other than
short-term investments for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor, the
Distributor or the Administrator.

NOTE 3 - SERVICE FEES
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "Act"), adopted a Shareholder Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement").
Pursuant to this Agreement, Quaker Funds Inc. (the "Sponsor") will provide
oversight with respect to the Fund's investment advisor, arrange for payment of
investment advisory and administrative fees, coordinate payments under the
Fund's Distribution Plan, develop communications with existing Fund
shareholders, assist in responding to shareholder inquiries, and will provide
other shareholder services. As compensation for these services, Quaker Funds,
Inc. receives 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Sponsor intends
to voluntarily waive all or a portion of its fee and reimburse expenses of the
Fund to limit total Fund operating expenses to 1.35% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the foregoing voluntary fee
waivers or reimbursements will continue. The Sponsor has voluntarily waived its
fee amounting to $796 and has reimbursed expenses totaling $31,733 for the
period ended June 30, 1997.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Expenses totaling $33,324 incurred in connection with its organization and the
registration of its shares, which were originally paid by the Fund's Sponsor,
have been assumed by the Fund.
The organization expenses are being amortized using the straight-line method
over a period of sixty months. Investors purchasing shares of the Fund bear such
expenses only as they are amortized against the Fund's investment income.
NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term investments,
aggregated $1,253,091 and $310,530 respectively, for the period ended June 30,
1997.

Independent Auditor's Report
July 28, 1997
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Quaker Sector Allocation Equity Fund
Rocky Mount, North Carolina
We have audited the statements of assets and liabilities, including the
schedules of investments, of the QUAKER SECTOR ALLOCATION EQUITY FUND (one of
the portfolios constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of
June 30, 1997, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net
assets and the selected per share data and ratios for the period from November
25, 1996 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 1997. These financial
statements and per share data and ratios are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and per share data and ratios based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data and ratios
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1997, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the QUAKER SECTOR ALLOCATION EQUITY FUND (one of the portfolios
constituting the Quaker Investment Trust series of funds) as of June 30, 1997,
and the results of its operations and changes in its net assets and the selected
per share data and ratios for the period from November 25, 1996 (commencement of
operations) to June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The graph assumes an initial $25,000 investment at November 25, 1996. All
dividends and distributions are reinvested.
At June 30, 1997, the Fund would have grown to $25,392 - total investment return
of 1.57% since November 25, 1996.
At June 30, 1997, a similar investment in the Salomon Brothers Broad
Investment-Grade Index would have grown to $25,646 - total investment return of
2.58% since November 25, 1996.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. A mutual fund's share
price and investment return will vary with market conditions, and the principal
value of shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original
cost.

Dear Shareholder:
The Quaker Family of Funds reached the end of its first fiscal year on June 30,
1997. Substantial progress was achieved during this initial business period.
Each of the six mutual funds in the Quaker Family opened for business on
November 25, 1996. Since then, many new investors have joined the Quaker Family
and the assets under management are growing steadily.
Our management philosophy remains very straightforward. We have chosen seasoned
investment professionals to manage each of the Quaker Funds. Each manager has a
clearly defined investment strategy unique to a particular mutual fund, and will
stick with that discipline in the future. The fees paid by our investors have
been set at competitive levels, and we will make every effort to reduce them as
assets grow in the future. And most important of all, we are dedicated to
providing each of our shareholders with quality service at all times.
Financial markets have been very favorable during the life of the Quaker Family
of Funds. Domestic equity markets have shown particular strength during the
first half of 1997, while fixed income results have been modestly positive. The
Quaker Fixed Income Fund, managed by Wiley Angell of Fiduciary Asset Management,
remained somewhat behind the Salomon Broad Investment Grade Index from the
inception of the Fund on November 25, 1996 through June 30, 1997. During that
period, the Fund returned 1.6% while the Index grew by 2.6%. For three months
ending with June, the Fund returned 3.1% compared with 3.6% for the Index.
We appreciate your investment in the Quaker Family of Funds and we will work
hard to earn your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Peter F. Waitneight
Peter F. Waitneight
President

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Quaker Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of shares of
beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust, an
open-end investment company, was organized on October 24, 1990, as a
Massachusetts Business Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to generate current
income, preserve capital and maximize total returns through active management of
investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund began operations on November
25, 1996. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Fund.
A. Security Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are carried at
value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market
system are valued at 3:00 p.m., New York time on the day 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. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, if any, are valued by using an independent pricing
service or by following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates value.
B. Federal Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal income taxes
or personal holding company taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and personal holding companies and to make
sufficient distributions of taxable income to relieve it from substantially
all federal income taxes.
Due to a concentration of shareholders at June 30, 1997 the Fund is subject
to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to personal
holding companies.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and income tax purposes primarily because of losses
incurred subsequent to October 31, which are deferred for 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
the Fund.
C. Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification cost method. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual
basis. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized using the straight-line
method on a daily basis, which does not materially vary from the
yield-to-maturity method, from the date acquired through scheduled
maturity. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date.
D. Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund generally declares dividends
monthly, on a date selected by the Trust's Trustees. In addition,
distributions may be made annually in December out of net realized gains
through October 31 of that year. The Fund may make a supplemental
distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending June 30.

corporate debt securities subject to repurchase agreements. A repurchase
agreement transaction occurs when the Fund acquires a security and
simultaneously resells it to the vendor (normally a member bank of the
Federal Reserve or a registered Government Securities dealer) for delivery
on an agreed upon market interest rate earned by the Fund effective for the
period of time during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Delivery
pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one to five days of the
purchase. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement which will
cause more than 10% of its net assets to be invested in repurchase
agreements which extend beyond seven days. In the event of bankruptcy of
the other party to a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience delays
in recovering its cash or the securities lent. To the extent that in the
interim the value of the securities purchased may have declined, the Fund
could experience a loss. In all cases, the creditworthiness of the other
party to a transaction is reviewed and found satisfactory by the Advisor.
Repurchase agreements are, in effect, loans of Fund assets. The Fund will
not engage in reverse repurchase transactions, which are considered to be
borrowings under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, Fiduciary Asset Management Co.
(the "Advisor") provides the Fund with a continuous program of supervision of
the Fund's assets, including the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes
advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and
the purchase and sale of securities. As compensation for its services, the
Advisor receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.
Currently, the Fund does not offer its shares for sale in states which require
limitations to be placed on its expenses. The Advisor intends to voluntarily
waive all or a portion of its fee. There can be no assurance that the foregoing
voluntary fee waivers will continue. The Advisor has voluntarily waived its fee
amounting to $1,153 ($0.03 per share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"), provides
administrative services to and is generally responsible for the overall
management and day-to-day operations of the Fund pursuant to an accounting and
administrative agreement with the Trust. As compensation for its services, the
Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.175% of the Fund's first
$50 million of average daily net assets, 0.150% of the next $50 million of
average daily net assets, and 0.125% of its average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly fee of $2,000 for
accounting and recordkeeping services. Additionally, the Administrator charges
the Fund for servicing of shareholder accounts and registration of the Fund's
shares. The Administrator also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved
with the daily valuation of portfolio securities. The Administrator has
voluntarily waived a portion of its total fees amounting to $7,872 ($.18 per
share) for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Certain organization expenses totaling $23,333 and $833 were paid to a company
controlled by the Administrator and to an officer of the Fund, respectively, for
the period ended June 30, 1997.

The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not

Pursuant to this Agreement, Quaker Funds, Inc. (the "Sponsor") will provide
oversight with respect to the Fund's investment advisor, arrange for payment of
investment advisory and administrative fees, coordinate payments under the
Fund's Distribution Plan, develop communications with existing Fund
shareholders, assist in responding to shareholder inquiries, and will provide
other shareholder services. As compensation for these services, Quaker Funds,
Inc. receives 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Sponsor intends
to voluntarily waive all or a portion of its fee and reimburse expenses of the
Fund to limit total Fund operating expenses to 0.90% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the foregoing voluntary fee
waivers or reimbursements will continue. The Sponsor has voluntarily waived its
fee amounting to $384 and has reimbursed expenses totaling $30,723 for the
period ended June 30, 1997.

registration of its shares, which were originally paid by the Fund's Sponsor,

over a period of sixty months. Investors purchasing shares of the Fund bear such
expenses only as they are amortized against the Fund's investment income.
