Financial Stability

Financial Strength
Saturna Capital's income derives from four business activities:

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, Saturna Capital operated profitably with revenues of $7,111,671. At June 30, 2007, Saturna had shareholder equity of $3,027,954. Included is Saturna Brokerage Services’ shareholder equity ($453,889 at June 30, 2007), well in excess of regulatory requirements.

Saturna Capital Corporation’s and Saturna Brokerage Services’ June 30, 2007 annual reports, with audited financial statements, are available free upon request.

Compliance
Saturna Capital’s business operations are subject to rules and regulations for investment advisers, mutual funds, transfer agents, and broker-dealers. We devote substantial resources to meeting these requirements, which can be summarized as (1) always putting client interests first and (2) making full disclosure of practices and any potential conflicts.

Mr. James Winship serves Saturna Capital as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, Adviser and Funds. He has more than 30 years experience in the securities and financial businesses, with almost 20 years dedicated to the mutual fund and advisory businesses. He is assisted by Mr. G. Scott Stroh, an attorney
and Compliance Officer for Saturna Brokerage. Mr. Kaiser serves as the Chief Compliance Officer for Saturna Brokerage Services.

Code of Ethics
All Saturna employees are subject to a strict Code of Ethics, common to Saturna Capital, Saturna Brokerage Services, and the affiliated mutual funds. Transactions for clients have priority over employee transactions and personal transactions cannot operate adversely to clients’ interests. Pre-clearance of employee trading in securities may be required to give clients adequate opportunity to act on recommendations before employees may act. Saturna Capital Corporation, as well as its employees and affiliates, are encouraged to invest in the Saturna mutual funds. Mr. Kaiser maintains substantial positions in the Saturna mutual funds, and does not trade securities for his own account.

A copy of the Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client free upon request, and on the Saturna website (www.saturna.com). All transactions by Saturna employees are reported under the Code of Ethics and monitored by its Chief Compliance Officer. Violations of the Code of Ethics may result in censure, fines and/or dismissal of any employee.
