***Morningstar™ 06/30/2008. Morningstar™, Inc.** is an independent fund performance monitor. Rankings are determined monthly from total returns by Morningstar™, by category as determined by Morningstar™. The average total return for a category is determined by Saturna Capital, utilizing the Morningstar™ database. The 12-month Rank shows how each Fund ranks in its Morningstar™ peer category for the 12 months ended June 30, 2008. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return™ measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the next 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics.*

*Morningstar calculates total return by taking the change in a fund's NAV, assuming the reinvestment of all income and capital gains distributions (on the actual reinvestment date used by the fund) during the period, and then dividing by the initial NAV. Unless marked as load-adjusted total returns, Morningstar does not adjust total return for sales charges or for redemption fees. (Morningstar Return™, Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Ratings™, and the load-adjusted returns do incorporate those fees.) Total returns do account for management, administrative, and 12b-1 fees and other costs automatically deducted from fund assets.*

With respect to these Short-Term Bond funds, Sextant Short-Term Bond received a Morningstar Rating™ of 4, 4, 3 and 4 stars among 381, 381, 303 and 164 funds for the Overall, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively.*

***Fellow Shareowners:***

After five years of bull markets, the last six months have been a pertinent reminder for investors that growth without periodic contraction is fantasy. As long-term investors, we take solace knowing that market forces will eventually bring stability.

For the semi-annual period ended May 31st, 2008, Sextant Core Fund declined 1.31%, Sextant International was virtually even (-0.06%), and Sextant Growth declined 1.80%. During the same period broad-based indices fared worse: the S&P 500 returned -4.47% and the AMEX International Index returned -5.54%.

Despite the Fed's willingness to cut interest rates, the timing of the cuts, coupled with the fear of inflation, hurt the bond markets over the last six months. In this unstable climate, the safer Short-Term Bond Fund returned 1.27% and the Bond Income Fund declined 0.81%.

***Sextant Funds Outperform Their Peers***

The Performance Summary data on the surrounding pages provide the absolute performance as well as relative Morningstar category rank for each Sextant Fund. Sextant International and Sextant Growth especially exhibit superior results for the long-term (10-year period). 

Assets in the five Sextant Funds grew 5% to $42.2 million, allowing fixed costs to be spread across a larger base. This growth is partly due to new investors coming through dealers like Schwab and Fidelity. The expense ratios of all Sextant funds (annualized) decreased for the six month period.

The Sextant Funds provide a rare opportunity to invest with the "insiders" — on average, almost 35% of each Sextant Fund is owned by the trustees, officers, and their related accounts. The no-load Sextant Funds are designed to address a broad spectrum of investment needs. All Sextant Funds stress low operating expenses and employ a "fulcrum" advisory fee structure that rewards or penalizes Saturna Capital for investment results. To the benefit of both the shareowners and Saturna Capital, all five Sextant Funds earned performance bonuses during the last six months.

***Market Conditions Further Deteriorate***

The instability sparked in the financial sector by the mortgage debacle has spread to other sectors of the economy. From the other direction, prices for commodities such as food and oil are swelling and show few signs of abating. Fear of inflation is widespread and not without cause. As growth slows, our core investments in non-cyclical sectors such as Medical and Utilities should provide a bulwark against the inclemencies of the market.

Economic worries about the deleterious effects of inflation on the global marketplace could curtail any recovery for some time. An increasingly frail dollar, while keeping exports cheap, is not viable as a long-term monetary policy. We expect a small rise in interest rates over the next year — enough to ease inflation concerns without roiling the fixed income market. Still, investors with a longer-term investment horizon can 

**Sextant Funds stress low operating expenses and employ a "fulcrum" advisory fee structure that rewards or penalizes Saturna Capital for investment results.**

often construct significant opportunities out of the rubble of a recession. We do expect commodity prices, such as oil and copper, to moderate as the recession spreads around the world.

We will remain committed to value investing, long-term growth, and preserving and enhancing wealth. 

Long years of experience on our investment team lead us forward, with caution. As investors, we don't like to lose money. In most of the Sextant funds, our cash reserves are much higher than normal. We also know that the best times to invest are when the outlook is dark and murky.

Respectfully,

***Expenses***

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a Sextant shareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (or service) 12b-1 fees, and other fund expenses such as shareowner reports (like this one). Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund's gross earnings, directly reduce the investment return of a fund. All mutual funds (unlike some other financial investments) only report their results after deduction of operating expenses. 

With the Sextant Funds, unlike many other mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions. You do not incur redemption fees, exchange fees, or fees related to Saturna Individual Retirement Accounts. However, to discourage speculation, you may incur a 2% redemption fee for shares held less than 30 calender days. You may incur fees related to extra services requested by you for your account, such as a checkbook to use for redemptions or bank wires. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

**Examples**

The following example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the semi-annual period and held for six months (December 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008).

**Actual Expenses**

The first line for each Fund provides information about actual account values and expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses you have paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The Funds also charge for extra services rendered on request, which you may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 per bank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery.

**Hypothetical Example For Comparison Purposes**

The second line for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending balance or expenses you paid for the year. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of other funds. You may wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table, such as IRA fees (there are no fees on Saturna Capital IRAs, ESAs or HSAs), and charges for extra services such as check writing and bank wires.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables 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 (note that the Sextant Funds do not have any such transactional costs). Therefore, the "Hypothetical" line of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

***Notes To Financial Statements***

**Note 1 - Organization**

Saturna Investment Trust (the "Trust") was established under Washington State Law as a Business Trust on February 20, 1987. The Trust is registered as a no-load, open-end, diversified series management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Six portfolio series have been created to date: Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund, Sextant Bond Income Fund, Sextant Core Fund, Sextant Growth Fund, Sextant International Fund (the "Funds"), and Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund, which is distributed through a separate prospectus and the results of which are contained in a separate report. 

Sextant Growth (known as Northwest Growth until September 25, 1995, when the investment objective of only Northwest stocks was changed) commenced operations on December 30, 1990. Sextant International and Sextant Short-Term Bond began operations September 28, 1995. Sextant Bond Income Fund (known as Washington Tax-Exempt Fund until September 28, 1995, when the investment objective of only Washington State Municipal Bonds was changed) began operations on March 2, 1993. Sextant Core Fund commenced operations March 30, 2007.

The investment goal of the Growth and International Funds is long-term capital growth. The investment goals of the Core Fund are long-term capital appreciation and preservation. The investment goal of the Bond Income and Short-Term Bond Funds is current income, with Short-Term Bond having the additional goal of capital preservation.

**NOTE 2 - Unaudited Information**

The information in this interim report has not been subject to independent audit.

**NOTE 3 - Significant Accounting Policies**

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

**Security valuation:**

Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price 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 stated at the last quoted bid price. 

Unlisted securities are valued using an independent pricing service, which determines valuations by using a matrix. For unlisted ADRs, this technique considers ADR ratios (the number of shares of the underlying security represented by an ADR certificate), underlying share trading on foreign exchanges, and input from news sources and depositary banks.

Debt securities are valued using bid-side valuations provided by an independent service. The service determines valuations using a matrix. This technique considers such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon maturity, ratings, trading activity and general market conditions.

Fixed-income debt instruments, such as commercial paper, bankers' acceptances and U.S. Treasury Bills, with a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized on a straight-line basis until maturity.

Other securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair values as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The cost of securities is the same for accounting and Federal income tax purposes. Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.

**Share valuation:**

The net asset value ("NAV") per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds' shares are not priced or traded on days the NYSE is closed. The NAV is the offering and redemption price per share. 

**Fair value measurements:**

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), effective December 1, 2007 (March 30, 2007 for Core Fund). In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liabilityin an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. FAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2008 in valuing the Funds' investments carried at value:
**Short-Term Bond Fund****Level****Valuation Inputs****Investments in Securities**Level 1

**Federal income taxes:**

As qualified investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Funds are not subject to income taxes to the extent that they distribute all of their taxable income. It is the Funds' policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all taxable income to shareowners.

The Funds adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on May 31, 2008 (March 30, 2007 for Core Fund). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest Expense" and penalties in "Other" expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended November 30, 2007, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

**Dividends and distributions to shareowners:**

Dividends and distributions to shareowners, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

For the Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund, dividends are paid daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. For the Sextant Core Fund, Sextant Growth Fund and Sextant International Fund, dividends are payable at the end of each November. Shareowners electing to reinvest dividends and distributions purchase additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date.

**Use of estimates:**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Other:**

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Premiums on securities purchased are accreted and discounts are amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Cash dividends from equity securities are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date. Withholding on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

The Trustees have adopted certain policies and procedures with respect to frequent trading of Fund shares. The Funds are intended for long-term investment and do not permit rapid trading of their shares. To discourage speculation, shares held less than thirty calendar days, including those held in omnibus accounts at intermediaries, will be assessed a 2% early-redemption fee (payable to the Fund) when redeemed. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareowner and retained by the Funds as paid-in capital and included in the daily NAV calculation.

**NOTE 4 - Transactions with Affiliated Persons**

Under a contract approved by shareowners on September 28, 1995, Saturna Capital Corporation provides investment advisory services and certain other administrative and distribution services required to conduct Trust business. Expenses incurred by the Trust on behalf of the Funds (e.g., professional fees) are allocated to the Funds on the basis of relative daily average net assets. For such services, each of the Funds pays the Adviser a base Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Fee of .60% of average net assets per annum, payable monthly. The Adviser has agreed to certain limits on expenses, as described below. 

The base Advisory Fee is subject to adjustment up or down depending on the investment performance of the Fund relative to a specified index.

Performance Adjustment for Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund: 
- For each month in which either of these Funds' total investment return (change in net asset value plus all distributions reinvested) for the one year period through that month outperforms or underperforms the total return of a specified index for that period by 1% or more but less than 2%, the Base Fee is increased or decreased by the annual rate of .10% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the preceding year. 
-  If the outperformance or underperformance is 2% or more, then the adjustment is at the annual rate of .20%.

Performance adjustment for Sextant Core, Sextant Growth Fund and Sextant International Fund: 
- For each month in which either of these Fund's total investment return (change in net asset value plus all distributions reinvested) for the one year period through that month outperforms or underperforms the total return of a specified index for that period by 1% or more but less than 2%, the Base Fee is increased or decreased by the annual rate of .10% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the preceding year.
- If the outperformance or underperformance is 2% or more but less than 4%, then the adjustment is at the annual rate of .20%. 
- If the outperformance or underperformance is 4% or more, the adjustment is at an annual rate of .30%.

The Adviser has voluntarily undertaken to limit expenses of Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund to 0.75%, and Sextant Bond Income Fund to 0.90%, through March 31, 2009. It waives its investment advisory and administrative fee to Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund completely should assets of such Fund be less than $2 million. For the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2008, Sextant Short-Term Bond and Sextant Bond Income Funds incurred advisory and administration expenses of $11,606 and $10,945 respectively. Sextant Core Fund incurred administrative and advisory expenses of $13,440. Sextant Growth Fund and Sextant International incurred advisory and administration expenses of $37,656 and 

*May 31, 2008   Semi-Annual Report   |   33*

*****Notes To Financial Statements (continued)***

$58,837, respectively. In accordance with the expense waiver noted above, for the semi-annnual period ended May 31, 2008, Saturna Capital waived $11,663 and $9,523 of the Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund advisory fees, respectively. The adviser cannot recoup previously waived fees. 

Saturna Brokerage Services, Inc. ("SBS"), a discount brokerage and subsidiary of Saturna Capital Corporation, is a registered as a broker-dealer and acts as distributor. On October 3, 2006, The Funds adopted a Distribution Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The plan provides that the Funds will pay a fee to SBS at an annual rate of .25% of the average net assets of the Funds. The fee is paid to SBS as reimbursement for expenses incurred for distribution-related activity. During the six month period ended May 31, 2008, the Trust paid the Distributor $49,490. For the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2008, Sextant Bond Income, Short-Term Bond, Core, Growth and International Funds paid $3,830; $4,336; $4,872; $18,792; and $17,660 respectively, to the Distributor. SBS is the primary stock brokerage used to effect portfolio transactions for the Trust. Since the beginning of calendar 2005, SBS executes portfolio transactions for the Trust for free (no commissions) and has extended its commitment to waive all brokerage commissions through calender 2008.

Trustee Nicholas Kaiser, who also serves as the president of the Trust, is a director and president of the Adviser. The four independent trustees are compensated by the Trust $500 per Board or committee meeting attended, plus reimbursement of travel expenses, allocated pro-rata to the six Funds of Saturna Investment Trust. For the year ended May 31, 2008, the Trust incurred compensation expenses of $3,500 and total expenses of $4,861 for the independent Trustees.

The other officers are paid by Saturna Capital, and not the Trust, except for Mr. Winship, who is partially compensated by the Trust. On May 31, 2008, the trustees, officers, and their affiliates as a group owned 28.4%, 28.3%, 47.3%, 28.7% and 32.6% of the outstanding shares of Short-Term Bond, Bond Income, Core, Growth and International, respectively.

Regulations require the Trust to designate a Chief Compliance Officer; Mr. James Winship was retained by the Trust during the period ended May 31, 2008. For this period, the Short-Term Bond, Bond Income, Core, Growth, and International incurred $700, $408, $299, $3,419, and $3,435 of expense, respectively, for the Chief Compliance Officer.

***Fellow Shareowners:***

For the six months ended May 31, 2008, the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund provided a total return of 1.32%. The Fund's price moved only slightly, despite significant price volatility and declines in other bond markets. Fund shares outstanding increased 21%, with total assets rising to a record $12.1 million. Investors purchased 5 times more shares ($2.7 million) than they sold. Higher assets benefited all shareowners, as the annual operating expense ratio dropped to 0.79%. 

A massive housing slump is causing great pain in many financial markets. Losses in complex debt securities and mortgage bonds are causing long-standing commercial and investment banks to fail. Almost untouched, Idaho municipal bonds offer generally high credit worthiness and relative safety. In addition, the state of Idaho is a strong fiscal and economic partner for Idaho municipal issuers. The government's fiscal discipline and pro-business policies give Idaho a sharp competitive edge. 

Examples of the reasons why Idaho is especially attractive for municipal bond investors include the Idaho Local Government Investment Pool, the Idaho School Bond Guaranty program, and the Idaho Municipal Bond Bank. Idaho backs these programs with a history of conservative budgeting, balanced budgets, and an unblemished repayment record.

The Fund demonstrated its appeal for conservative investors again in 2008 by avoiding the damaging effects from the ongoing mortgage loan crisis. We did not invest in the municipal auction-rate market, which became illiquid in February when dealers curtailed their support. We did not invest in shaky financial schemes that relied on insurers for credit guarantees or on dubious ratings of complex financial products, only to see values plunge when the rating companies and insurers themselves suffered from losses and downgrades. We do not invest in questionable revenue bonds, such as airports serving airlines under pressure from high fuel costs and a weak economy.

Should investors need a conservative investment that may benefit from a softer U.S. economy, Idaho Tax Exempt Fund offers diversification and relatively stable asset values that many investors seek during uncertain markets. We believe municipal bonds today are extremely attractive, as tax-exempt yields approach or exceed those available on taxable Treasuries. 

We invite you to review the advantages of the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund, including low expenses, income free from Idaho and federal income taxes, a high-quality diversified bond portfolio, and daily supervision by professional managers. We welcome your suggestions. Only with your help can we be certain that we are meeting your investment needs — our primary objective.

Respectfully,

**Nicholas Kaiser,**				  President

***Expenses***
				All mutual funds have operating expenses. As an Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund shareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses such as shareowner reports (like this one). Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund's gross earnings, directly reduce the investment return of a fund. All mutual funds (unlike some other financial investments) only report their results after deduction of operating expenses.				
With the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund, unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions. You do not incur redemption fees, exchange fees, or fees related to Individual Retirement Accounts. However, to discourage speculation, you may incur a 2% fee for redemption of shares held less than 30 days. You may incur fees related to extra services requested by you for your account, such as a checkbook to use for redemptions or bank wires. The examples below are 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 mutual funds.

**Example**

The following example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the semi-annual period and held for six months (December 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008).

**Actual Expenses**

The first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this fiscal year. The Fund also charges the following fees for extra services rendered on request, which you may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 per bank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery.

**Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes**

The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the year. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of the other funds. You may wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table, such as charges for extra services like check writing and bank wires.

Please note that the expenses shown 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 line is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

***Notes To Financial Statements***

**Note 1 — Organization**

Saturna Investment Trust (the "Trust") was established under Washington State Law as a Business Trust on February 20, 1987. The Trust is registered as a no-load, open-end series investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Five portfolios have been created to date in addition to Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund"). The other five portfolios distribute through a separate prospectus and the results of those funds are contained in a separate report.

The Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund was first authorized to sell shares of beneficial interest on September 4, 1987. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide income free from federal income, federal alternative minimum and Idaho state income taxes, with a secondary objective of capital preservation.

**Note 2 — Unaudited Information**

The information in this interim report has not been subject to independent audit.

**Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies**

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

**Security valuation:**

Debt securities are valued using bid-side valuations provided by an independent service. The service determines valuations using a matrix. This technique considers such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon maturity, ratings, trading activity and general market conditions. In the absence of a price from a pricing service, securities are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

The cost of securities is the same for accounting and Federal income tax purposes. Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recorded based on the identified cost.

**Share valuation:**

The net asset value ("NAV") per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund's shares are not priced or traded on days the NYSE is closed. The NAV is the offering and redemption price per share.

**Fair value measurements:**			    The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), effective December 1, 2007. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liabilityin an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. FAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments				  Level 2 —  other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2008 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:
**Level****Valuation Inputs****Investments in Securities**Level 1
Quoted Prices$ - Level 2Other Significant Observable Inputs  $11,171,491 Level 3Significant Unobservable Inputs$ - **Total****$11,171,491**
 

**Income taxes:**

As a qualified investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its investment income. It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable and tax-exempt income to its shareowners. The Fund intends to meet requirements for tax-free income dividends, and requirements of the Idaho Department of Revenue for income dividends free of Idaho state income tax.

The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") *Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes* on May 31, 2008. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest Expense" and penalties in "Other" expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended November 30, 2007, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. 

**Dividends and distributions to shareowners:**

Dividends and distributions to shareowners, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are paid daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. Shareowners electing to reinvest dividends and distributions purchase additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date.

**Use of estimates:**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

**Other:**

The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the State of Idaho.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts on securities purchased are accreted and premiums are amortized over the lives of the respective securities. 

The Trustees have adopted certain policies and procedures 

*10   |   Semi-Annual Report   May 31, 2008*

with respect to frequent trading of Fund shares. The Funds are intended for long-term investment and do not permit rapid trading of their shares. To discourage speculation, shares held less than 30 calendar days, including those held in omnibus accounts at intermediaries, will be assessed a 2% early-redemption fee (payable to the Fund) when redeemed. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareowner and retained by the Fund as paid-in capital and included in the daily NAV.

**Note 4 — Transactions with Affiliated Persons**

Under a contract approved by shareowners on October 12, 1990, Saturna Capital Corporation provides investment advisory services and certain other administrative and distribution services to conduct the Fund's business. Expenses incurred by the Trust on behalf of the Fund (e.g., professional fees) are allocated to the Fund and the other Funds of the Trust on the basis of relative daily average net assets. For such services, the Fund pays an annual fee equal to 0.50% of its average daily net assets. For the period ended May 31, 2008, the Fund incurred advisory fee expenses of $26,588. 

Saturna Brokerage Services, Inc. ("SBS"), a discount brokerage and subsidiary of Saturna Capital Corporation, is registered as a broker-dealer and acts as distributor. SBS is the primary stock brokerage used to effect portfolio transactions for the trust. Since the beginning of calender 2005, SBS executes portfolio transactions for the Trust for free (no commissions) and extended its commitment to not charge commissions through calender year 2008.

Saturna Capital Corporation acts as shareowner-servicing agent for the Fund, for a monthly fee plus certain expenses. For the period ended May 31, 2008, the Fund paid shareowner-servicing fees of $1,695.

Trustee Nicholas Kaiser, who also serves as the president of the Trust, is a director and president of the adviser. The four independent trustees are compensated by the Trust $500 per Board or committee meeting attended, plus reimbursement of travel expenses, allocated pro-rata to the six Funds of Saturna Investment Trust. On May 31, 2008, the trustees, officers and their immediate families as a group owned 0.89% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Mr. Kaiser owned 874 shares.

The trustees have designated James D. Winship, as Chief Compliance Officer and a small portion of his compensation is paid by the Trust. The other officers are paid solely by Saturna Capital, and not the Trust.

During the period ended May 31, 2008, the Fund purchased $1,884,230 of securities and sold/matured $289,504 of securities.

**Note 6 — Distributions to shareowners**

Cost of investments$11,074,164Gross unrealized appreciation163,413Gross unrealized depreciation(66,086)Net unrealized appreciation$97,327
