These financial statements and financial highlights are theresponsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to expressan opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on ouraudits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of thePublic Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of materialmisstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Trust’sinternal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration ofinternal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal controlover financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An auditincludes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts anddisclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation ofsecurities owned as of November 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian.Our audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significantestimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financialstatement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basisfor our opinion. 

In our opinion the financial statements and financialhighlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, thefinancial position of Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund, Sextant Bond Income Fund,Sextant Growth Fund, and Sextant International Fund, as of November 30, 2005,the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes intheir net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and theirfinancial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica.

**Item 1. Reports to Stockholders.**

***FellowShareowners:*** 2005, like 2003 and 2004, was a profitable year forsecurities investors. Stocks provided solid gains, while the bond markets markedtime as interest rates steadily rose. We are pleased to report that both SextantGrowth Fund and Sextant International Fund provided exceptionally high returnsfor the fiscal year ending November 30, 2005. Good performance is attractingmore investors, and the assets of Sextant Growth and Sextant Internationalincreased a dramatic 127% and 217%, respectively, for calendar 2005. SaturnaCapital plans to encourage asset growth further in 2006, as higher assets helpreduce portfolio expense ratios.

Buoyed by consumer and business spending, liberal tradepolicies, higher commodity prices, and mushrooming government expenditures,corporate earnings continued strong in 2005. Core inflation remained calm,checked by higher interest rates and world-wide productivity. Consumerconfidence is strong, buoyed by rising personal incomes. Over the next year, weexpect the overnight bank rate may rise just slightly and the previously hotreal estate sector will slow significantly. Strong economic growth is expectedto continue into 2006, as businesses increase investment spending.

However, a number of ourmarket indicators are flagging caution, and we warn stock market investors toexpect lesser returns in 2006. Inflation is controlled and the Fed’sincrease in short-term interest rates appears to be nearing conclusion, meaning2006 could finally be the year for bonds to shine. 

The no-load Sextant Funds aredesigned to address a broad spectrum of investment needs. Again in 2005, higherequity Fund returns reflected the higher risks of equities - just as expected.All Sextant Funds stress low operating expenses and employ a“fulcrum” advisory fee structure that rewards or penalizes SaturnaCapital for investment results. Contrary to popular wisdom, a higher fundadvisory fee that results from superior investment performance under a fulcrumadvisory fee structure and consequently a higher fund expense ratio is actuallyin the best interests of shareowners. 

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2005,comparative total returns and percentile Morningstar category rankings (1 isbest)* are:

Wewould especially like to thank Mr. A. Herbert Ershig, who retired from the boardof trustees this year, for his generous advice and service over the years.Joining the board is the distinguished economist Herbert Grubel. Widelypublished in both the popular and academic press, Professor Grubel has taughteconomics in North American universities (Yale, Stanford, Chicago, Wharton,Simon Fraser) as well as leading institutions in Europe, Africa and Asia. Heserved a term in the Canadian parliament, and is now a Senior Fellow at theFraser Institute in Vancouver BC.

Further information on each Fund is found inits section of this report. Operating expenses are well below industry averages.Perhaps uniquely, equity portfolio brokerage commission expenses are entirelyborne by the adviser. Consequently, the Sextant Funds can not use portfoliobrokerage to pay any expenses of the Funds or the adviser. In the footnotes, youwill notice another unusual feature of the Sextant funds: on average, over 40%of each Sextant Fund is owned by the trustees, officers, and their relatedaccounts. Our portfolio managers welcome your comments and suggestions. Weinvite you to invest your money with ours.

***Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)***

***FISCAL YEAR 2005***** For the fiscal year ending November 30, 2005, theSextant Short-Term Bond Fund provided a total return of 0.94%. The share pricemoved in a range of $4.84 to $4.97, a maximum variation of 2.6%. The Fund ranked238th of 408 funds in the Morningstar “Short-term Bond” category forthe twelve months. At November 30, 2005, the Fund’s overall Morningstarcategory rating was 3-star, and “average” for returns and“average” for risk. For the last five years, the Fund earned 4.16%annualized total return, ranking in the top 39% of 220 funds in its Morningstarcategory (see Morningstar disclosures, page 32). 

TheFund’s annual expense ratio remained virtually unchanged at 0.61%,reflecting management fee performance adjustments and the adviser’svoluntary capping of total expenses at 0.60% annually. Without the waivers ofalmost all the management fee and the custodian bank fees, annual expenses wouldhave been 1.25%. 
**Ratings Established****By Adviser****By Standard &Poor's****By Moody's InvestorServices**AAA54.2%46.5%50.3%AA0.0%3.7%3.7%A32.4%28.9%25.2%BBB7.4%3.6%7.4%Unrated0.0%11.3%7.4%Cash6.0%6.0%6.0%
***FACTORS AFFECTING PAST PERFORMANCE***Overthe last twelve months, the Federal Reserve steadily raised the Federal Fundsrate from 2% to 4% in “measured” response to a strong, growingeconomy. Credit spreads between high and low quality bonds narrowed slightly dueto strong profits, which benefit weak companies more than financially solidcompanies. The Fund remained overweighted in investment grade corporate notesand added positions in government-sponsored agency bonds.

Risingshort-term interest rates reduced the Fund’s total return, as bond pricesdeclined. Expense fee waivers helped performance, and are expected to continuein 2006. The table summarizes portfolio holdings by rating quality at November30, 2005.

***LOOKINGFORWARD*** The US economy is strong and expanding,although higher interest rates and energy costs are slowing growth. For 2006, weexpect corporate profits to increase 7% to 13%. The threat of rising USinflation will keep upward pressure on short-term rates for another six totwelve months, as the Federal Reserve continues to increase short-term rates to5% - probably in slower steps. We do not expect a prolonged yield curveinversion or a recession.  The Fund is in a good position to takeadvantage of the highest short-term rates since 2001. We plan to increaseportfolio weighting in corporate bonds and reduce exposure to US Treasury andgovernment agency positions. Like 2005, Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund is likelyto generate a positive return for 2006 despite an increase in short-term rates.Continuing economic globalization limits the impact of these forces on domesticinflation. This portends a year of greater real returns for the Fund.

***MANAGEMENT FEECALCULATIONS*** The Sextant Short-Term Bond Fundcalculates part of its management fee based on a comparison of the Fund’sreturn to the average return of the Morningstar category Short-Term Bond. TheFund’s 12-month return (+0.94%) was within one percent of the Morningstaraverage (+1.34%) at month-end November 30, 2005. Therefore, no performanceadjustment was made to the basic 0.60% annual management fee for the month ofDecember 2005. The management fee is almost entirely waived due to theadviser’s voluntary cap on Fund expenses.

***COMPARISON TO INDEX*** Comparison ofany mutual fund to a market index must be made bearing in mind that the Index isunmanaged, and expense-free. The graph below compares $10,000 invested in theFund on November 30, 1995 to a similar amount invested in the Salomon BrothersGov/Corp Investment Grade Bond Index for maturities between one and three years.The graph shows that a $10,000 investment made on November 30, 1995 would haverisen to $15,789 in the Fund and $16,498 in the Index.

***Sextant Short-Term BondFund***

***Expenses(unaudited)***

As a Sextant Short-Term Bond Fundshareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fundexpenses. Unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) onpurchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions. Nor do you incurredemption fees, exchange fees or fees related to Individual RetirementAccounts. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (indollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoingcosts of investing in other mutual funds.

***Example*** The following example isbased on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the semi-annualperiod and held for six months (Wednesday, June 1, 2005 to Wednesday, November30, 2005).

***ActualExpenses*** The first line provides information aboutactual account values and expenses. You may use the information in this line,together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses you havepaid 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 thenumber in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid DuringYear” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this fiscalyear. The fund also charges for these extra services rendered on request, whichyou may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 perbank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery; 2% penalty for redemptions within30 days.

***Hypothetical Example ForComparison Purposes*** The second line providesinformation about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based onthe Fund’s actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and anassumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not theFund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may notbe 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 Fundand other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5%hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of other funds. Youmay wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in thetable, such as IRA fees (there are no fees on Saturna Capital IRAs, ESAs orHSAs), and charges for extra services such as check writing and bankwires.

Please note that the expenses shown are meant to highlight yourongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as salescharges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees, or possible early redemptionpenalties. Therefore, the second line is useful in comparing ongoing costs only,and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning differentfunds. 
**Short-Term Bond Fund****Beginning Account Value(Wednesday, June 1, 2005)****Ending Account Value (Wednesday,November 30, 2005)****Expenses Paid DuringPeriod***Actual (0.94%   return afterexpenses)$1,000.00 $1,009.40$2.92Hypothetical (5% return beforeexpenses)$1,000.00$1,022.16$2.94
*Expenses are equal to the SextantShort-Term Bond Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.58% (based on themost recent semi-annual period of June 1, 2005 through November 30, 2005),multiplied by the average account value of $1,004.70 over the period multipliedby 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

***Discussion of FundPerformance***

***FISCALYEAR 2005*** For the fiscal year ending November 30,2005, the Sextant Bond Income Fund returned 1.40%. The Fund was 56th of the 71funds in the Morningstar “Long-term Bond” category for the twelvemonths. For the last five years, the Fund earned 6.69% annualized total return,ranking in the top 48% of 41 funds in its Morningstar category. At November 30,2005, the Fund’s overall Morningstar category rating was 2-star, and“average” for returns and “average” for risk (seeMorningstar disclosures, page 32). The Fund’s most recent thirty-day SECyield is 5.28% up from 3.73%, last year. 
**RatingsEstablished****ByAdviser****By Standard &Poor's****By Moody's InvestorServices**AAA31.1%19.8%31.1%AA8.6%6.8%12.1%A36.5%45.2%33.0%BBB20.7%13.8%20.7%Unrated0.0%11.3%0.0%Cash3.1%3.1%3.1%
***FACTORSAFFECTING PAST PERFORMANCE*** The majority of theFund’s recent performance comes from an average portfolio maturity thatwas less than its Morningstar “Long-term Bond Category” during anextended period of low long-term rates. While short-term rates have risensubstantially, long-term rates have held steady or even fallen. This yield curveflattening reduced total returns. US Treasury notes and government-sponsoredagencies generally outperformed similar maturity high-grade corporates.Performance was helped with recent additions of US Treasury notes and agencies.While early in reducing the average maturity, the Fund is now well positioned toreinvest in longer paper as long-term rates move higher in 2006 and the Fundextends the average maturity. 

The table (right) provides a summary of portfolioholdings by bond quality ratings as of November 30, 2005.

***LOOKING FORWARD*** We expect the USeconomy to grow another 3% in 2006, and corporate profits to increase 7% to 13%.The threat of rising US inflation will keep upward pressure on short-term ratesfor another six to twelve months. We expect the Federal Reserve to continue toincrease short-term rates to 5% and the US Treasury ten-year note yield to trendtoward the 5.25% level. We do not expect a prolonged yield curve inversion or arecession. We will increase purchases of investment-grade, corporate debt asopportunities allow. Despite our 2006 forecast for a modest increase inlong-term rates, we still expect a positive return for Bond Income Fund for theyear.

***MANAGEMENT FEECALCULATIONS*** The Sextant Bond Income Fund calculatesits management fee based on a comparison of the Fund’s return to thereturn of Morningstar’s “Long-term Bond” category. TheFund’s +1.40% 12-month return was below that of the index (+2.61%) onNovember 30, 2005. Therefore, the base 0.60% management fee was decreased by0.10%, to 0.50%, for the month of December 2005 because the Fund underperformedits benchmark index by more than 1% but less than 2%. 

***COMPARISON TO INDEX*** Comparison ofany mutual fund to a market index must be made bearing in mind that the index isunmanaged, and expense-free. Conversely, the fund will (1) be actively managed,(2) have an objective other than mirroring the index, such as limiting risk, (3)bear transaction and other costs, (4) stand ready to buy and sell its securitiesto shareowners on a daily basis, and (5) provide a wide range of services. Thegraph below compares $10,000 invested in the Fund on November 30, 1995 to asimilar amount invested in The Salomon Brothers Broad Investment-Grade BondIndex. The graph shows that the investment on November 30, 1995 would have risento $17,766 in the Fund and $18,303 in the Index.

***Expenses(unaudited)***

As a Sextant Bond Income Fundshareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fundexpenses. Unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) onpurchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions. Nor do you incurredemption fees, exchange fees or fees related to Individual RetirementAccounts. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (indollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoingcosts of investing in other mutual funds.

***Example*** The following example isbased on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the semi-annualperiod and held for six months (Wednesday, June 1, 2005 to Wednesday, November30, 2005).

***ActualExpenses*** The first line provides information aboutactual account values and expenses. You may use the information in this line,together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses you havepaid 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 thenumber in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid DuringYear” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this fiscalyear. The fund also charges for these extra services rendered on request, whichyou may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 perbank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery; 2% penalty for redemptions within30 days.

***Hypothetical Example ForComparison Purposes*** The second line providesinformation about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based onthe Fund’s actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and anassumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not theFund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may notbe 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 Fundand other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5%hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of other funds. Youmay wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in thetable, such as IRA fees (there are no fees on Saturna Capital IRAs, ESAs orHSAs), and charges for extra services such as check writing and bankwires.

Please note that the expenses shown are meant to highlight yourongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as salescharges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees, or possible early redemptionpenalties. Therefore, the second line is useful in comparing ongoing costs only,and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning differentfunds. 
**Bond Income Fund****Beginning Account Value (Wednesday,June 1, 2005)****Ending Account Value (Wednesday, November 30, 2005)****Expenses Paid During Period***Actual (1.40%return after expenses)$1,000.00$1,014.00$4.95Hypothetical (5% return beforeexpenses)$1,000.00$1,020.16$4.96
*Expenses are equal to the SextantBond Income Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.98% (based on the mostrecent semi-annual period of June 1, 2005 through November 30, 2005), multipliedby the average account value of $1,007.00 over the period multiplied by 183/365(to reflect the one-half year period).

***Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)***

***FISCAL YEAR 2005***** For the fiscal year ending November 30, 2005, theSextant Growth Fund returned an outstanding 20.76%, well above the standardmarket measures. For the fiscal year, the broad S&P 500 Index gained 8.44%,while the smaller-company NASDAQ Composite Index increased 7.28%. For the fiscalyear, the Fund ranked in the top 7% of the 929 funds in the Morningstar Mid-capGrowth category. At November 30, 2005, the Fund’s overall Morningstarcategory rating was 4-star, and “above average” for returns and“below average” for risk (see Morningstar disclosures, page32).
***Industries***Medical20.0%Computers17.9%Cash11.0%Electronics6.9%Construction6.8%Utilities5.8%Banking5.7%Investments5.7%Retail4.9%Metal Ores2.9%Oil & GasProduction2.4%Food2.2%Hotels &Motels1.6%Machinery1.6%Telecommunications1.6%Publishing1.5%Transportation1.5%
***FACTORS AFFECTING PAST PERFORMANCE***TheU.S. economy in 2005 overcame concerns and grew steadily. As illustrated in thetable, our portfolio is heavily weighted with medical (largest holdingsPharmaceutical Product Development and Barr Laboratories up 41% and 46%,respectively) and computer (largest holding Apple Computer up 102%) issues. Ourconservative style meant that too much of the portfolio remained in cash, whichsomewhat reduced results.

The Fund seeks long-term growth throughinvestment in common stocks of U.S. domiciled companies. It generally follows avalue investment approach, favoring companies with good fundamentals andrelatively low price/earnings and price/book ratios. Even so, our stockselections are heavier than similar funds in the Information Economy, andlighter in the Manufacturing Economy. Income is not a consideration inportfolio selection, but we favor companies that institute or increase dividendpayouts. Our low portfolio turnover helped minimize the year-end capital gainsdistribution again this year.

***LOOKINGFORWARD*** The volatility, risks and returns of thestock market will continue. The poor stock market performances of 2000 through2002 were reversed in 2003 through 2005 as stocks again provided investors withstrong investment returns. We are expecting the good markets of late 2005 tocontinue into 2006, but more modestly as higher interest rates brake some keyindustries. A long-term approach is the best opportunity to prosper: for thelast ten years, the Fund provided a 11.22% average annualized total return andranks in the top 14% of 212 funds in its Morningstar category.

***MANAGEMENT FEECALCULATIONS*** The Sextant Growth Fund calculates partof its management fee based on a comparison of the Fund’s return to theaverage return in Morningstar's “Growth” prospectus objective funds.At November 30, 2005, the one-year return for this peer group was +10.08%.Because the Fund's excellent 12-month return outperformed this average by morethan 4% at November 30, 2005, the adviser earned the maximum annual rate 0.30%bonus for the month of December 2005. Note that the help increased assets gaveto lowering the expense ratio was overshadowed by bonus payments to the adviser,increasing the overall expense ratio to 1.24% from 0.78% the prioryear.

***COMPARISON TOINDEX*** The line graph compares Sextant Growth Fund'sperformance to that of a broad-based stock market index, the Standard &Poor's 500 Index. Comparison of any mutual fund to a market index must be madebearing in mind that the index is unmanaged, and expense-free. Conversely, thefund will (1) be actively managed, (2) have an objective other than mirroringthe index, such as limiting risk, (3) bear various operational costs, (4) standready to buy and sell its securities to shareowners on a daily basis, and (5)provide a wide range of services. The graph below compares $10,000 invested inthe Fund on November 30, 1995 (ten years ago), compared to a similar amountinvested in Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The graph shows that the investmentin the Fund would have risen to $28,955 versus $24,287 in the Index.

***Expenses(unaudited)***

As a Sextant Growth Fundshareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fundexpenses. Unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) onpurchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions. Nor do you incurredemption fees, exchange fees or fees related to Individual RetirementAccounts. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (indollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoingcosts of investing in other mutual funds.

***Example*** The following example isbased on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the semi-annualperiod and held for six months (Wednesday, June 1, 2005 to Wednesday, November30, 2005).

***ActualExpenses*** The first line provides information aboutactual account values and expenses. You may use the information in this line,together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses you havepaid 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 thenumber in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid DuringYear” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this fiscalyear. The fund also charges for these extra services rendered on request, whichyou may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 perbank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery; 2% penalty for redemptions within30 days.

***Hypothetical Example ForComparison Purposes*** The second line providesinformation about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based onthe Fund’s actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and anassumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not theFund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may notbe 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 Fundand other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5%hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of other funds. Youmay wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in thetable, such as IRA fees (there are no fees on Saturna Capital IRAs, ESAs orHSAs), and charges for extra services such as check writing and bankwires.

Please note that the expenses shown are meant to highlight yourongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as salescharges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees, or possible early redemptionpenalties. Therefore, the second line is useful in comparing ongoing costs only,and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning differentfunds.

*Expenses are equal to the SextantGrowth Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.28% (based on the most recentsemi-annual period of June 1, 2005 through November 30, 2005), multiplied bytheaverage account value of $1,103.80 over the period multiplied by 183/365 (toreflect the one-half year period).

***Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)***

***FISCAL YEAR 2005***** For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2005, theSextant International Fund returned +19.95%. Our benchmark AMEX InternationalIndex did not fare as well, gaining 12.13%. For this fiscal year, the Fundranked in the 6th percentile of the 363 funds in Morningstar’s peerForeign Large Blend category†. The Fund’s overall Morningstarcategory rating was 4-star, and “high” for returns and“high” for risk (see Morningstar disclosures, page 32).

***FACTORS AFFECTING PASTPERFORMANCE***The U.S. dollar rebounded during 2005, reducing the returns that theSextant International Fund’s foreign investments provided domesticinvestors. The Fund is diversified across industries and countries, as shown inthe adjacent tables, but generally holds larger companies as it restrictsinvestments to stocks that trade and settle in the U.S. (such as AmericanDepository Receipts).

Our portfolio is most heavily invested in Canada, andbenefited from higher energy prices and a stronger currency. Commodity pricesincreased worldwide, bringing substantial appreciation to our cyclical andresource-based issues. We held more cash during the year than normal, as newshareowners increased and caution guarded our investing. Telecommunications(largest holding American Movil up 85%) and computers (largest holding BusinessObjects up 71%) did well. Banks did reasonably, considering higher interestrates. Oil and gas producers appreciated sharply, in response to the rise inenergy prices.

***LOOKINGFORWARD*** The Sextant International Fund is broadlydiversified in growing companies headquartered outside the United States. Therise in the U.S. dollar should moderate in 2006, helping our portfolio. Wecontinue our focus on larger companies, which tend to be more stable overtime.

***MANAGEMENT FEECALCULATIONS*** The Sextant International Fundcalculates part of its management fee based on a comparison of the Fund’sreturn to the average return of the Morningstar “Foreign” prospectusobjective peer group. At November 30, 2005, the one-year return for this averagewas 15.49%. Because the Fund’s 12-month return outperformed this averageby more than 4% at November 30, 2005, the maximum performance bonus of 0.30% wasadded to the basic 0.60% annual management fee for the month of December 2005.The help increased assets gave to lowering the expense ratio was overshadowed bybonus payments to the adviser, increasing the overall expense ratio to 1.25%from 1.10% the prior year.

***COMPARISONTO INDEX*** Comparison of any fund to an index must bemade bearing in mind that the Index is unmanaged, and expense-free. The graphbelow compares $10,000 invested in the Fund at its inception, compared to asimilar amount invested in the AMEX International Index. Thiscapitalization-weighted index averages 50 American Depository Receipts (ADRs) oflarge worldwide companies, and reflects the types of securities in which SextantInternational Fund invests. The graph shows that a $10,000 investment made onNovember 30, 1995 would have risen to $25,082 in the Fund and $15,957 in theIndex.

***Expenses(unaudited)***

As a Sextant International Fundshareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fundexpenses. Unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) onpurchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions. Nor do you incurredemption fees, exchange fees or fees related to Individual RetirementAccounts. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (indollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoingcosts of investing in other mutual funds.

***Example*** The following example isbased on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the semi-annualperiod and held for six months (Wednesday, June 1, 2005 to Wednesday, November30, 2005).

***ActualExpenses*** The first line provides information aboutactual account values and expenses. You may use the information in this line,together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses you havepaid 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 thenumber in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid DuringYear” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this fiscalyear. The fund also charges for these extra services rendered on request, whichyou may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 perbank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery; 2% penalty for redemptions within30 days.

***Hypothetical Example ForComparison Purposes*** The second line providesinformation about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based onthe Fund’s actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and anassumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not theFund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may notbe 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 Fundand other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5%hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of other funds. Youmay wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in thetable, such as IRA fees (there are no fees on Saturna Capital IRAs, ESAs orHSAs), and charges for extra services such as check writing and bankwires.

Please note that the expenses shown are meant to highlight yourongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as salescharges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees, or possible early redemptionpenalties. Therefore, the second line is useful in comparing ongoing costs only,and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning differentfunds.

Theinvestment goals of the Growth and International Funds are long-term capitalgrowth. The investment goals of the Bond Income and Short-Term Bond Funds arecurrent income, with Short-Term Bond having the additional goal of capitalpreservation.

***NOTE 2 - Significant AccountingPolicies*** The following is a summary of thesignificant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

**SecurityValuation:** Investments in securities traded on a nationalsecurities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated atthe last reported sales price on the day of valuation; other securities tradedin the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale wasreported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Securities forwhich quotations are not readily available are adjusted to fair value asdetermined in good faith under the supervision of the trustees. 

Fixed-income securitiesfor which there are no publicly available market quotations are valued using amatrix based on maturity, quality, yield and similar factors, which are comparedperiodically to multiple dealer bids and adjusted by the adviser under fairvalue policies established by the trustees. The ability of issuers of debtsecurities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected byeconomic and political developments in a specific country or region.

**Federal incometaxes:** The Funds’ policies are to continue to comply withthe requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investmentcompanies and to distribute all their taxable income to their shareowners.Therefore, no provisions for Federal income taxes are required. 

**Reclassificationof capital accounts:** Accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America require that certain components of net assetsrelating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and taxreporting. The Sextant Short Term Bond Fund decreased accumulated net investmentloss by $956 and decreased paid in capital by $956. The Sextant Bond Income Funddecreased accumulated net investment income loss by $49, decrease accumulatednet realized loss by $10,891 and decreased paid in capital by $10,940. TheSextant Growth Fund decreased accumulated net investment loss by $12,514 anddecreased paid in capital by $12,514. The Sextant International Fund decreasedaccumulated net investment loss by $961 and decreased paid in capital by $961.These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value pershare.

**Dividends and distributions to shareowners:**Dividends and distributions to shareowners, which are determined in accordancewith income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For theSextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund, dividends are paiddaily and distributed on the last business day of each month. For the SextantGrowth Fund and Sextant International Fund, dividends are payable at the end ofeach November. Shareowners electing to reinvest dividends and distributionspurchase additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date.

**Useof Estimates:** The preparation of financial statements inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect thereported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assetsand liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amountsof increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reportingperiod. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Other:** Thecost of securities is the same for accounting and Federal income tax purposes.Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Interest income isrecognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchasedare amortized, over the lives of the respective securities. Cash dividends fromequity securities are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date. 

Expenses incurred by theTrust on behalf of the Fund (e.g., professional fees) are allocated to the Fundand the other Funds of the Trust on the basis of relative daily average netassets. The Adviser has agreed to certain limits on expenses, as describedbelow.

TheTrustees have adopted certain policies and procedures with respect to frequenttrading of Fund shares. The Funds are intended for long-term investment and donot permit rapid trading of their shares. Shares held less than 30 calendardays, including those held in omnibus accounts at intermediaries, will beassessed a 2% early-redemption penalty (payable to the Fund).

***RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS(unaudited)***

On September 24, 2005, the trustees of Saturna InvestmentTrust approved continuation of the Sextant Funds’ investment advisory andadministrative services agreements with Saturna Capital Corporation. In doingso, the Board considered a number of factors and made specific determinationsrelevant to that approval. 

In addition to information provided throughout the year,the trustees utilized a comparison of performance and fees of all funds in eachof the Sextant Morningstar peer categories as well as reports prepared byLipper. The trustees found such information helpful in establishing expectationsregarding the performance of the adviser and whether to continue the advisorycontracts.

Intheir review, the Trustees noted that the Funds offer a full range ofhigh-quality investor services. The Trustees reviewed improvements inSaturna’s operations during the last year, and its increasing assets undermanagement from other Saturna mutual funds. An important factor in theconsideration by the Trustees was the adviser’s ability and commitment tointernally perform shareowner servicing, administration, accounting, marketingand distribution to maintain quality servicing at a reasonableexpense.

TheTrustees found that the investment performance of Sextant Growth and SextantInternational Funds, both in absolute numbers and relative to funds in theirMorningstar categories and Lipper categories, was exceptional. This wasconfirmed by their current Morningstar and Lipper ratings, and helped thesefunds build assets and lower expense ratios. The investment performance ofSextant Bond Income and Sextant Short-term Bond Funds was found to beacceptable.

The Trustees reviewed the fees and expenses of the Funds. They notedthat the performance-based advisory fees are unusual in the industry and veryfair and reasonable to shareowners. They considered the fees charged by theadviser to other kinds of accounts and the different services provided to thoseaccounts. In addition, the Trustees found the expense ratios less than those ofsimilar funds and to be advantageous to shareowners given the sizes of thefunds, services provided and expenses incurred. They took into consideration theadviser’s avoidance of operational problems and its diligence in complyingwith increased investment company rules and regulations. 

The trustees considered theten-year history of the funds under their current advisory agreements. Thetrustees observed that the use of performance-based advisory fees, combined withgood performance recordsperformance records and low expense ratios do not appearto be sufficient to attract substantial additional assets to the Trust, whichcan contribute to lower expense ratios and other advantages. The trusteesdiscussed alternatives, including adoption of a flat advisory fee and a“12b-1” plan to assist in efforts to promote investment in thefunds, such as increased marketing and payments to dealers for their assistancein marketing funds and servicing customers who invest in the funds. The trusteesmade no decisions and took no steps, pending a formal proposal from the adviseron the matter.

The trustees found that the Sextant Funds continue to operate at aloss to the adviser. They know the adviser is relatively small, with operationalprofit or loss dependent upon market cycles. It continues to invest inimprovements in its operation and services, and seeks to improve compensation toattract and retain increasingly qualified, experienced and specialized staff.The trustees found no significant “fall out benefits” such as“soft dollars” that were of benefit to Saturna. The trusteesappreciated that Saturna voluntarily waived brokerage commissions for SextantGrowth and Sextant International Fund portfolio trades, effective January 1,2005, which negatively impacts Saturna Capital’s profitability. Saturnahad also voluntarily waived part of its advisory fee for the Sextant Short-termBond Fund.

**Report of        REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareowners and Board of Trustees        Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of            the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund, a series of shares of the Saturna Investment            Trust, including the schedules of investments as of November 30,            2005, and the related statements of operations for the year then            ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the            period then ended, and the financial highlights for the five years            in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial            highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management.            Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements            and financial highlights based on our audits. 

We            conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public            Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards            require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance            about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are            free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an            audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.            Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial            reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate            in the circumstances, but no for the purposes of expressing an opinion            on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial            reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes            examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures            in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation            of securities owned as of November 30, 2005, by correspondence with            the custodian and broker. Our audit also includes assessing the accounting            principles used and significant estimates made by management, as            well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.            We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements and financial highlights            referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial            position of Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund as of November 30, 2005, the results            of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets            for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial            highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in            conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United            States of America.

For the fiscal year ending November            30, 2005, Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund provided a total return of +1.64%.            The net asset value was $5.27 per share compared to $5.39 one year            ago and $5.48 two years ago. Helped by reinvested dividends, Fund            assets increased slightly to $8.53 million, and helped reduce the            expense ratio from 0.93% last year to 0.88% this year.

In 2005, surging            energy and raw materials prices raised investor concerns about inflation.            The Federal Reserve continued to withdraw its accommodative monetary            policy by increasing short-term rates in a major way, from 2% to            4.25%. Most municipal note and bond yields rose, with short rates            rising more than long rates for a second year. Rising rates reduce            municipal bond prices and the Idaho Fund’s total return. While            there have been disruptions, domestic productivity and globalization            have held U.S. inflation at under 2%. Encouraged by a strong U.S.            dollar, foreign demand for U.S. fixed income assets remains robust            and has limited the yield rise on long-term bonds. 

Looking ahead, we expect the Federal            Reserve to move the Federal funds rate up to 5% in 2006. The bond            market will anticipate this peak in short-term rates well before            the end of the current tightening cycle, and the yield curve may            invert. We have become less concerned about U.S. inflation rate risk            and are extending the weighted average maturity of the Fund at current            yields. We expect better returns for the Idaho fund in 2006, and            any further increase in short-term rates to be minor.

Conservative investors            choose the Idaho Fund for high quality tax-free municipal bonds and            low price volatility when they reallocate assets from higher-risk            common stocks to the relative safety of municipal bonds. For 2006,            challenging forces for equities may mean a good year for the Idaho            Tax Exempt Fund. We recommend a balanced portfolio diversified with            both common stocks and Idaho Tax Exempt Fund. Idaho has many new            residents (i.e., taxpayers) who can benefit from a tax-exempt bond            portfolio.

The Idaho economy            and State employment are once again growing above the national average.            Idaho exporters of electronics are in a two-year boom. Construction            spending has defied all expectations and remains strong. The State            is forecasting a $200 million budget surplus despite the expiration            of temporary tax increases. Idaho issuer credit worthiness remains            high. The government’s fiscal discipline and pro-business policies            still give the State a sharp competitive edge.

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.

***Discussion        of Fund Performance (unaudited)***

**FISCAL YEAR 2005**  For the year ending November 30, 2005, Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund provided a total  return of 1.64%. Higher interest rates meant that as of November 30, 2005,  the thirty-day SEC current yield was 3.84% up from 2.72% one year ago. At November  30, 2005, the Fund held Morningstar’s* overall “3-star” rating  (judged against 330 funds in the Muni Single State Intermediate-term category).  Consistent with the Fund’s conservative investment philosophy, the Fund’s  price ranged between $5.27 and $5.43 per share (a 3% variation from low to  high).

Over the last twelve months, bond    managers and the US Federal Reserve Bank have continued to grapple with the    conundrum of rising inflation, rising short term rates and long rates that    refuse to go up. In brief, the global demand for US Government issued securities    is greater than the supply. Yields on long U.S. government securities are    some of the highest in the world which further amplifies foreign demand.    The nature of this foreign demand is less sensitive to U.S. inflation concerns    than most domestic bond investors and the forces generating this demand,    such as a strengthening U.S. dollar, are expected to continue. 

For the year,    short–term AAA general obligation yields rose 1.10% for two year paper,    0.60% for five year paper and only 0.25% for ten year paper. This means short-term    securities underperformed long-term securities and the Fund’s conservative    short average maturity reduced comparative total return. The average maturity    of the Fund is the most influential factor affecting principal values in    the portfolio. The Fund average maturity is now 6.04 years up from 5.59 years    last November. This is the short end of its “normal” six to fifteen    year range. The Fund chose to err on the side of caution and chose the shorter    average maturity. The table shows the distribution of the portfolio by quality    ratings (note that S&P does not rate many Idaho bonds).

Idaho’s State and local issuer budgets are improving compared    to one year ago as the State’s economy has grown above the national    average in 2005. 2005 State revenue is also growing above original forecasts.    Booming State exports of electronic components continued in 2005. Construction    continues to defy forecasts of a slow down. Overall State employment growth    is also above the national average. However, Idaho’s lumber and mining    industries remain a structural decline. 

Idaho’s relatively high state    income tax rates (the maximum 7.8% tax rate is reached at $21,730 of taxable    income for single filers) create a substantial appetite among residents for    tax-exempt bonds. The imbalance between the demand for and the supply of    new issues is an important element in the overall performance of Idaho paper    in both bull and bear markets. In 2005, high-grade municipal bonds generally    out-performed US Treasuries. The relative stability of prices in periods    of rising rates is one of the primary attractions of Idaho municipal bonds    for all investors.

**LOOKING FORWARD**  The US economy is strong and expanding, although higher interest rates and      energy costs are slowing growth. For 2006, we expect corporate profits      to increase 7% to 13%. The threat of rising US inflation will keep upward      pressure on short-term rates for another six to twelve months, as the Federal      Reserve continues to increase short-term rates to 5% - probably in slower      steps. We do not expect a prolonged yield curve inversion or a recession.   Strong competition between municipal bond insurers and the Idaho School Bond  Guarantee Program will reduce availability of new issue non-rated paper. The  yield advantage of quality uninsured paper can be attractive, but the supply  has dwindled to a trickle. 5.9% of the portfolio remains invested in non-rated  paper down from 6.9%. 

**COMPARISON TO INDEX**  The graph below compares the Fund‘s performance to the performance of  the Lehman Brothers Composite Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based municipal  bond market index.   The graph shows that $10,000 invested in the Idaho Tax Exempt Fund on 11/30/95  would have grown to $15,560 at the end of November 2005. If $10,000 could have  been invested in the Lehman Brothers Composite Municipal Bond Index on 11/30/95,  it would have grown to $17,447.

***Expenses (unaudited)***

As an Idaho Tax-Exempt mutual fund shareowner,    you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses.    Unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) on purchase    payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions. Nor do you incur    redemption fees, exchange fees, or fees related to Individual Retirement    Accounts. 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.

**EXAMPLE**  The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of      the fiscal year and held for six months [Wednesday, June 1, 2005 to Wednesday,      November 30, 2005].

**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      Year” 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 IRA fees  (there are no IRA fees with the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund), and charges for extra  services such as 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 (note that the Idaho Tax-Exempt    Fund does not have any such transaction costs). 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. 
 **Beginning Account Value        [Wednesday, June 1, 2005]****Ending Account Value        [Wednesday, November 30,2005]****Expenses Paid During Period***Actual      (1.66% return after expenses)$1,000.00$1,016.60$4.14Hypothetical      (5% return before expenses)$1,000.00$1,020.96$4.15
* Expenses are equal to Idaho Tax-Exempt    Bond Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.82% (based on the most recent    semi-annual period of June 1, 2005 through November 30, 2005, multiplied    by the average account value of $1,008.20 over the period multiplied by 183/365    (to reflect the one-half year period).

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    speculative trading, you may incur a penalty 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.

 
8Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund Annual Report November 30, 2005
***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. Four portfolios have been created to date in addition  to Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund (the “Fund”). The other four portfolios  distribute through a separate prospectus and the results of those funds are  contained in a separate report.

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—Significant Accounting      Policies**  The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed  by the Fund.

**Security valuation:**  Fixed-income securities for which there are no publicly available market quotations      are valued using matrices based on maturity, quality, yield, call features      and similar factors, which are compared periodically to multiple dealer      bids and adjusted by the adviser under fair value policies established      by the Trustees. 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.

**Income taxes:**  The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the  Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies  and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareowners. Therefore, no  provision for Federal income taxes is required. Further, 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.

**Dividends and distributions to shareowners:**  Dividends and distributions to shareowners, which are determined in accordance      with income tax regulations, are recorded 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 cost of securities is the same for accounting and Federal income tax purposes.      Securities transactions are recorded on trade date.  Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on  securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities.   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.

**Note 3—Transactions with Affiliated Persons**  Under a contract approved by shareowners on October 12, 1990, Saturna Capital      Corporation provides investment advisery services and certain other administrative      and distribution services to conduct the Fund’s business. For such      services, the Fund pays an annual fee equal to .50% of average daily net      assets. For the year ended November 30, 2005, the Fund incurred advisery      fee expenses of $42,315. 

In accordance with the Fund’s agreement with its custodian,    National City Bank of Indiana, for the year ended November 30, 2005, custodian    fees incurred by the Fund amounted to $1,982. The custodian waived $1,960    of its fees for earnings credits.

Saturna Brokerage Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Saturna Capital    Corporation) is a broker-dealer and acts as distributor without compensation.    Saturna Capital Corporation acts as shareowner servicing agent for the Fund,    for a monthly fee plus certain expenses. For the year ended November 30,    2005, the Fund paid shareholder servicing fees of $4,150.

One trustee, who also serves as the president    of the Trust, is a director and president of the Adviser. On November 30,    2005, the trustees, officers and their immediate families as a group owned    0.05% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

The four unaffiliated trustees receive $300    per Board or committee meeting attended, plus travel expenses, allocated    pro-rata to the five Funds of Saturna Investment Trust. The Trust paid the    Independent Trustees $8,627 to attend meetings during the fiscal year. Regulations    require the Trust to designate a Chief Compliance Officer; Mr. Winship was    retained by the Trust and paid $13,163 during the fiscal year. The other    officers are paid by Saturna Capital, and not the Trust.

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. Shares held less than 30 calendar days, including    those held in omnibus accounts at intermediaries, will be assessed a 2% early-redemption    penalty (payable to the Fund).

**Note 4—Investments**  During the year ended November 30, 2005, the Fund purchased $1,922,150 of securities      and sold/matured $1,745,516 of securities.

Distributions to shareowners:  The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended November 30,      2005 and 2004 were as follows:

***Renewal          of Investment Advisery Contract (unaudited)*****  On September 24, 2005, the trustees of Saturna Investment Trust approved continuation  of Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund’s investment advisery and administrative services  agreement with Saturna Capital Corporation. In doing so, the board considered  a number of factors and made specific determinations relevant to that approval. 

In addition to information provided throughout the year,    the trustees utilized a comparison of performance and fees of the Fund with    the other Idaho tax-exempt mutual fund and a comparative analysis of the    Fund prepared by Lipper. The trustees found such information helpful in establishing    expectations regarding the performance of the adviser and whether to continue    the advisery contract.

In their review, the trustees noted that the Fund offers a full range    of high-quality investor services. The Trustees reviewed improvements in    Saturna’s operations during the last year, and its increasing assets    under management from other Saturna mutual funds. An important factor in    the consideration by the trustees was the adviser’s ability and commitment    to internally perform shareowner servicing, administration, accounting, marketing    and distribution to maintain quality servicing at a reasonable expense.

The trustees also reviewed    Morningstar and Lipper mutual fund ratings, and found that the investment    performance of the Fund was acceptable. The board took into consideration    the investment objectives and policies of the Fund.

The trustees reviewed    the fees and expenses of the Fund. They noted that the adviser’s fees    are customary, fair and reasonable to shareowners. They considered the fees    charged by the adviser to other kinds of accounts and the different services    provided to those accounts. In addition, the trustees found the expense ratio    was less than that of the other Idaho tax-exempt fund and to be advantageous    to shareowners given the sizes of the funds, services provided and expenses    incurred. They took into consideration the adviser’s avoidance of operational    problems and its diligence in complying with increased investment company    rules and regulations. 

The trustees found that    the Fund continues to operate at a loss to the adviser. They know the adviser    is relatively small, with operational profit or loss dependent upon market    cycles. The trustees did not find any fall-out benefits from the Fund to    the adviser.

***Morningstar****(trademark)*

***Source: Morningstar 11/30/05**. Past performance does not guarantee        future results. 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.

Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund was 174th of 330 Municipal Single State Intermediate            Funds in the last 3 years, 139th of 291 funds in the last 5 years            and 91st of 218 funds in the last 10 years. With respect to these            Municipal Single State Intermediate funds, Idaho Tax-Exempt received            a Morningstar Rating of 3, 3 and 3 for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods            ended 11/30/05, respectively.
