ANNUAL REPORT




WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND


A SERIES OF THE WEGENER INVESTMENT TRUST


June 30, 2007





Dear Fellow Shareholders,


Since the inception of the Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund on 9/13/2006 the Fund has returned 11.90%, with a roughly 20% market exposure over the period. In that same time period the S&P 500 has returned 15.73% and the Russell 2000 has returned 15.21%.


Fund Market Risk


Our Intermediate Trend Factors for the market (for an explanation of our Intermediate Term Trend Factors please return to prospectus) were positive for most of the period since inception. However, because our Long Term Reversal Factors were negative (for an explanation of our Long Term Reversal Factors please return to the prospectus) we expected only modest stock market returns and, through hedging techniques, we limited the Fund's market exposure to roughly 20% since inception, causing us to underperform the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000.


This was partially mitigated by our superior stock selection as most of the Fund’s return was due to the Fund’s stock selection performing better than the indices the Fund uses to hedge market exposure (which for this period was the Russell 2000).


Meanwhile, we calculated the Fund’s correlation to the S&P 500 on a daily basis at almost zero when one includes the influence of the Fund’s stock selection and how the Fund’s options’ premium varied. Modern portfolio theory would say a portfolio with that characteristic should have a return close to Treasury Bills, or 4.0% since the inception of the Fund.


The lack of a strong positive correlation with the market can also be seen by looking at monthly performance data.  The Fund’s worst month was October 2006 when it lost 1.00%, while the S&P 500 gained 3.26% and the Russell 2000 gained 5.76%. Conversely, the Fund’s best month was June 2007 when it gained 4.58%, while the S&P 500 lost 1.66% and the Russell 2000 lost 1.46%.


Our Long Term Market Return Expectations


Using what we feel to be optimistic assumptions (1.9% dividend yield, 6.0% growth in dividend, no change in dividend yield), we felt that the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500, would return approximately 7.9% a year at the inception of the Fund. However, in roughly 9.5 months the S&P 500 has returned 15.73%. Longer term this is an unsustainable return for the market to provide. We believe comparisons to the Fund should be made on a longer term basis.   


Realistically, our Long Term Reversal Factors for the market are currently very negative. We believe this means that the price appreciation of the market will probably be less than our above assumed 6.0% growth in the market’s fair value (which comes in the form of dividend growth).  Based on where the market was at the Fund’s inception, we would expect the return of the market from that point over the following 7 years to be –0.6%. The only additional assumptions with this return is that the market reaches what historically has been fair value 7 years from the Fund’s inception date.


In practice, the true annualized return may be significantly higher or lower than -0.6% depending on the true dividend yield over the period, the true growth in the dividend, and the true level of investors’ risk tolerance at that time (as measured by the level of the dividend yield at the end of the period).


Risk versus Reward


In the end, in managing the Fund, we look to take risk where we feel there is an adequate reward. Based on our positive Intermediate Trend Factors for the stock market we maintained for the Fund some stock market exposure. However, our very negative Long Term Reversal Factors for the market lowered our expected market return enough that we keep the Fund mostly hedged. This still leaves the Fund’s stock selection as a significant source of risk for the Fund that we expect to be rewarded for taking. Longer term we feel the Fund is positioned to do well relative to the market on a pure return basis and a risk adjusted return basis.


Fund Website


We have created a website for the Fund that will be located at www.wegenerfunds.com. It will contain information about the Fund, which includes a link to weekly comments by us that should help shareholders better understand the Fund and keep informed of its activities.


Thank you for your continued support and trust in us.


Sincerely,


Steven Wegener

WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2007


Note 1. Organization

The Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund (the “Fund”), is a diversified series of the Wegener Investment Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end regulated investment company that was organized as an Ohio business trust on January 23, 2006. The Trust is permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. The Fund is currently the only series authorized by the Trustees. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation while attempting to protect capital during negative market conditions using hedging strategies. The Fund’s principal investment strategy is to invest in a portfolio of common stocks that the Fund’s investment manager, Wegener, LLC (the “Advisor”), believes has superior prospects for appreciation.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies employed by the Fund in preparing its financial statements:


Security Valuation- Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees. The Board has adopted guidelines for good faith pricing, and has delegated to the Advisor the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.


Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. If the Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees. Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.


In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above.  No single standard for determining fair value controls, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case.  As a general principle, the current fair value of securities being valued by the Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale.  Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.


Repurchase Agreements- In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Company's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines; realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or limited.


Financial Futures Contracts- The Fund invests in financial futures contracts solely for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets.


Short Sales- The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale.


Option Writing- When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2007


Federal Income Taxes- The Fund’s policy is 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 shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.


Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 increase and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Other- The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized over the useful lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends will be provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.


Distributions to Shareholders- The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, at year-end. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.


ReclassificationsIn accordance with SOP 93-2, the Fund has recorded a reclassification in the capital accounts. As of June 30, 2007, the Fund recorded permanent book/tax differences of $1,459 from net investment loss to paid-in capital. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and is designed generally to present undistributed income and net realized gains on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.


Note 3. Investment Management Agreement

The Fund has a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor to furnish investment advisory and management services to the Fund. The Fund will pay the Advisor a monthly fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the annual rate of 1.25%.


The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the expenses but only to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs, such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; and extraordinary expenses) at 1.99% of its average daily net assets through October 31, 2007. Advisory fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Advisor are subject to repayment by the Fund for a period of three years after such fees and expenses are incurred provided that the repayments do not cause the ordinary expenses to exceed 1.99% per annum. For the period September 13, 2006 (commencement of investment operations) through June 30, 2007, (“the period”), the Advisor earned advisory fees of $7,736, of which all was waived and the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $20,004.  At June 30, 2007 the Fund owed the Advisor $264.


Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Steven M. Wegener is the control person of the Advisor and also serves as a trustee and officer of the Trust.  Mr. Wegener receives benefits from the Advisor resulting from management fees paid to the Advisor by the Fund.

Note 7. Investment Transactions

For the period ended June 30, 2007, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations, short-term investments and options aggregated $1,350,154 and $661,032, respectively.  Purchases and sales of options aggregated $207,971 and $150,105, respectively.   Purchases and sales of U.S. Government obligations aggregated $0 and $0, respectively.


Note 8. Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at June 30, 2007 was $812,354 excluding proceeds from options written totaling $42,770.


At June 30, 2007, the composition of unrealized appreciation (the excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value) including options written was as follows:


Appreciation

Depreciation

Net Appreciation(Depreciation)

$151,786

($25,012)

$126,774


As of June 30, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

                             Value

Undistributed ordinary income                                       

$0

Undistributed long-term capital gain         

         (30,049)

Unrealized appreciation on investments and options

      122,800

 

     $   92,751


The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, fiscal year open straddle loses, and mark to market on section 1256 contracts.


No distributions were paid during the period ended June 30, 2007.


Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders- The Fund records all dividends and distributions payable to shareholders on the ex-dividend date.


Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions may result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain/loss.  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain/loss on investment transactions may include temporary book and tax differences which reverse in subsequent periods.  Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.


Note 9. Control and Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2007, the family of Steven M. Wegener, who serves as a control person of the Advisor and as a trustee and officer of the Trust, in aggregate, owned approximately 99.75% of the Fund.


Note 10.  New Accounting Pronouncements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007.  FASB Interpretation No. 48 requires that the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized.  These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard based on their technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination.  At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained.  Management of the Fund does not believe that any adjustments were necessary to the financial statements at adoption.


WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2007


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).  The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157, and the impact, if any, of this standard on the Fund’s financial statements has not yet been determined.










REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

  of The Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund,

  a series of The Wegener Investment Trust


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund, a series of The Wegener Investment Trust (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2007 and the related statements of operations, change in net assets and financial highlights for the period September 13, 2006 (commencement of investment operations) through June 30, 2007.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of June 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our 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 The Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund, a series of The Wegener Investment Trust as of June 30, 2007, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Expense Example

 
     

As a shareholder of the Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

     

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007.

     

Actual Expenses

 
     

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

     

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 
     

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
