Letter to Our Shareholders

"Nowhere to hide" was the theme for 2008. The S&P 500 suffered its worst calendar year since 1931. Volatility reached extreme levels not seen in decades. Despite aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, which prompted a number of short-term trading rallies, the overriding path was downward.

In the first quarter of 2009, the market continued its overall decline, but rallied sharply towards the end of the quarter to finish in strong fashion. While the economic backdrop remains challenging, indicators are becoming "less bad" and further government/Federal Reserve intervention has provided a lift to the equity market from oversold levels.

The Federal Reserve, in tandem with the U.S. Government, is using all of its tools in an attempt to stabilize financial markets. While specific details are still being determined, recent announcements of the Term Asset-backed Loan Facility (TALF) and the Public Private Investment Plan (PPIP) programs are gaining more support than previous endeavors. Encouragingly, these efforts are taking place simultaneously in different forms on a global scale. This globally coordinated effort to stabilize financial markets and stimulate economic activity could provide support and eventually work as a catalyst for future growth.

While there are still major headwinds, the market is coming off of its worst period in decades, and as a leading indicator of future activity, has priced-in much of the bad news with several technical indicators also pointing towards a recovery. We at Victory remain constructive on the longer term outlook, albeit cognizant of the short-term risks, and continue to hold to our three-tiered strategic plan for investment management:

1.  Consistent Performance and Investment Quality
Dedicated strategy teams maintain complete investment autonomy and consistently apply transparent, repeatable processes. Reliance on fundamental research ensures high-conviction portfolios, and state-of-the-art risk management tools are employed to ensure ongoing risk monitoring. Finally, value-added trading provides effective execution of investment decisions.

2.  Client Service Excellence
Our approach is simple: communication is complete, honest, and straightforward — our goal is no surprises.

3.  Empowerment, Ownership, and Accountability
Victory has an organizational structure that fosters an environment in which investment professionals thrive, and our compensation plan is built to attract and retain industry-leading talent. Our senior management team is committed to delivering high quality investment products and services.

We appreciate your confidence in the Victory Funds. We continue to closely monitor the possibility of increased regulatory reform wrought by these

tumultuous times, and will strive to embrace the programs and adopt the procedures necessary to safeguard our shareholders. If you have questions or would like further information, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-539-3863, or via our Website at www.VictoryConnect.com.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

1.  Organization:

The Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") was organized on December 6, 1995, as a Delaware statutory trust (formerly known as a Delaware business trust) as a successor to a company of the same name organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 5, 1986. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001. As of April 30, 2009, the Trust offered shares of 22 funds. The accompanying financial statements are those of the Institutional Money Market Fund and the Federal Money Market Fund (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund").

The Funds are authorized to issue two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Select Shares. Each class of shares has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under shareholder servicing plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

The Institutional Money Market Fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity. The Federal Money Market Fund seeks to provide high current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Valuation:

Investments of the Funds are recorded at value, determined on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost valuation method, discount or premium is accreted or amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the security. In certain circumstances, securities may be valued at fair value determined pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values.

In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, the market values of the securities held in the Funds are determined at least once per week, unless the need arises to determine more frequently, using prices supplied by the Funds' independent pricing services. These values are then compared to the securities' amortized cost. Securities whose market price varies from amortized cost by more than +/- 0.5% are indentified and validated with the pricing service. If Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or the "Adviser") concludes that the price obtained from the pricing service is not reliable, or if the pricing service does not provide a price for a security, the Adviser will provide an independent dealer to supply a price. Absent a price from the pricing service or an independent dealer, the Adviser may supply a fair value for the security for the comparison, which will be determined pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. If the difference betw een the aggregate market price and aggregate amortized cost of all securities held by a Fund exceeds +/- 0.00375%, the Funds' administrator will notify a senior officer of the Funds who will call a meeting of the Board


19



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

to fully advise the Funds' Trustees. If the difference exceeds +/- 0.0050%, a meeting of the Board will be convened to determine what action, if any, to initiate.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Funds began applying the standard established under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. One key component of the implementation of SFAS 157 includes the development of a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependant upon the various "inputs" used to determine the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates, applicable to those securities, etc.).

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of April 30, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

Fund Name   LEVEL 1 —
Quoted Prices
  LEVEL 2 —
Other Significant
Observable Inputs
  LEVEL 3 —
Significant
Unobservable Inputs
  Total  
Institutional Money Market Fund   $     $ 1,946,805     $ 6,200     $ 1,953,005    
Federal Money Market Fund           1,373,432             1,373,432    

 

Reconciliation of Level 3 items.

Following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

    Investments
in Securities
 
Institutional Money Market Fund  
Balance as of 10/31/08   $ 7,424    
Realized Gain (Loss)     589    
Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation (a)     (731 )  
Net purchases (sales)     (1,082 )  
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3        
Balance as of 4/30/09   $ 6,200    

 

(a)  The change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to investments held at April 30, 2009.

Treasury Guaranty Program for Money Market Funds:

The Board of the Trust approved, on October 7, 2008, the participation by each of the Funds in the U.S. Department of Treasury's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the "Program"). The Program insures shareholders against loss up to the maximum amount of shares held as of the close of business September 19, 2008, in the event that any Fund liquidates its holdings and the net asset value per share at the time of liquidation is less than $1.00 per share. The Program is designed to help stabilize the credit markets by discouraging substantial redemptions in money market funds.

Participation in the initial months of the Program (that is, until December 18, 2008) required a payment to the U.S. Department of Treasury in the amount of 0.01% based on the net asset value


20



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

of each Fund as of September 19, 2008. On November 24, 2008 the Secretary of the Treasury extended the Program beyond its initial three-month term through the close of business April 30, 2009, and on March 31, 2009 chose to extend it further, up through September 18, 2009. On December 3, 2008, the Board approved the Funds' participation in the extension of the Program through April 30, 2009. Furthermore, on April 9, 2009, the Board approved the Funds' continued participation in the Program through September 18, 2009. Participation in these two extensions each required a payment to the U.S. Department of the Treasury in the amount of 0.015% based on the net asset value of each Fund as of September 19, 2008. The expense of the Program is included within each Fund's Statement of Operations.

Securities Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, portfolio security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Repurchase Agreements:

Each Fund may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements from financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, which the Fund's investment adviser deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. Under a repurchase agreement, the seller agrees to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying securities. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by various corporate, U.S. Government and government-backed securities, with a value of not less than the repurchase price (including interest). If the counter-party defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and/or result in additional costs. Securities subject to repurchase agreem ents are held by the Fund's custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis:

Each Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond normal settlement periods at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. These values are included in amounts payable for investments purchased on the accompanying statements of assets and l iabilities. As of April 30, 2009, the Funds had no outstanding "when-issued" purchase commitments.

Dividends to Shareholders:

Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly by the Funds. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these


21



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

differences are permanent in nature (i.e. reclass of market discounts), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital in the statements of assets and liabilities.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

The Funds comply with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liabili ty for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. FIN 48 includes a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (e.g., the last 4 tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). FIN 48 did not impact the Funds' net assets or results of operations. Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Other:

Expenses that are directly related to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to each fund in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate basis. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, shareholder servicing, printing and 12b-1 fees.

New Accounting Standards:

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about each Funds' derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on each Funds' financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on each Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4. "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds financial statement disclosures.

3.  Investment Advisory, Administration, and Distribution Agreements:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by VCM, a wholly owned subsidiary of KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Funds. The investment advisory fee of the Institutional Money Market Fund is computed at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1.5 billion, 0.17% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $1.5 billion and $3.0 billion, and 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $3.0 billion; the investment advisory fee of the Federal Money Market Fund is computed at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1.5 billion, 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $1.5 billion and $3.0 billion, and 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $3.0 billion. The Adviser may use its resources to assist with the Funds' distribution and marketing expenses.

KeyBank, serving as custodian for all Funds in the Trust (excluding International Fund and International Select Fund), receives custodian fees computed at the annual rate of 0.013% of the first $10 billion of the Trust's, The Victory Variable Insurance Funds' and The Victory Institutional Funds' (the "Victory Trusts") average daily net assets, 0.0113% of the Victory Trusts' average daily net assets between $10 billion and $12.5 billion and 0.0025% of the Victory Trusts' average daily net assets greater than $12.5 billion. Average daily net assets for this computation does not include International Fund and International Select Fund. The Trust reimburses KeyBank for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing custody services.

VCM also serves as the Funds' administrator and fund accountant. Under an Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement, the Trust and The Victory Variable Insurance Funds (collectively, the "Trusts") pay VCM a fee at the annual rate of 0.108% of the first $8 billion of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts; plus 0.078% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $8 billion and $10 billion; plus 0.075% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $10 billion and $12 billion; plus 0.065% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts in excess of $12 billion, for providing certain administrative and fund accounting services to the Trusts' series.

The Institutional Money Market Fund entered into an irrevocable letter of credit with KeyCorp, an affiliate of the Adviser. Details of this transaction are located in footnote 6.

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi") acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Funds under a Sub-Administration Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.

Citi also serves as the Funds' Transfer Agent. Under the terms of the Transfer Agent Agreement, Citi receives a fee that is calculated daily at the annual rate of 0.02% of the first $8 billion of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts; plus 0.015% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $8 billion and $16 billion; plus 0.01% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts, between $16 billion and $20 billion; plus 0.005% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts, in excess of $20 billion. In addition, Citi is entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.

Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.

The Distributor or financial institutions (directly or through the Distributor) may receive from the Funds, pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan, a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Select Shares of the Funds for providing support services to shareholders of the Funds, which may include establishing and maintaining accounts and records, processing dividend and distribution payments, providing account information, assisting in processing purchase, exchange and redemption requests, and assisting shareholders in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses. Financial institutions may include affiliates of the Adviser. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, affiliates of the Adviser earned $796 (amount in thousands).


23



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

The Trust has also adopted a "defensive" Rule 12b-1 Plan on behalf of the Funds. The Plan allows the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the Funds of distribution expenses. No separate payments are authorized to be made by the Funds pursuant to this Plan. To the extent that any payments made by the Funds' Administrator, Distributor, Adviser or any sub-adviser, directly or through an affiliate (in each case, from its own resources), should be deemed to be indirect financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares within the context of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, then such payments shall be deemed to be authorized by this Plan. No fees are currently being paid under the Plan.

The Adviser, Citi, or other service providers may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Funds in maintaining competitive expense ratios. These amounts are not available to be recouped at a future time.

The Federal Money Market Fund has entered into a fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement with the Adviser and has agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses by amounts necessary to maintain a minimum yield of 0.01% and in which the Fund has agreed to repay fees that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three fiscal years after such waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent such payments or repayments would not cause the yield of a class to decrease below 0.01%. The Adviser is contractually limiting fees and expenses until March 31, 2010. As of April 30, 2009, the following amounts have been waived or reimbursed by the Adviser and are subject to repayment by the respective fund (amounts in thousands):

Fund   Amount Waived
or Reimbursed
  Expires
May 31,
 
Federal Money Market Fund, Select Class   $ 15       2012    

 

On December 1, 2006, VCM paid the Funds comprising The Victory Portfolios approximately $9.8 million. This amount was allocated to each Fund according to its relative net assets as of November 30, 2006. This payment was made pursuant to an agreement reached among the Funds, BISYS Fund Services, Inc., ("BISYS")(BISYS was acquired by Citi on August 1, 2007) and VCM, the sub-administrator and investment adviser, respectively, relating to certain expenditures that, among other things, supported distribution of Fund shares. The Funds believe that the nature of these expenditures required additional disclosure to the Board at the time incurred. Under terms of the agreement, Citi and VCM will pay an aggregate of approximately $13.3 million (inclusive of the amounts already paid on December 1, 2006). The payment from Citi will be made on a date and pursuant to a distribution plan to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") i n accord with a settlement that BISYS entered into with the SEC on September 26, 2006 relating to the same matters. A proposed plan of distribution, ("Fair Fund Plan") was posted by the SEC for public review and comment on May 29, 2009. Further information, including the methodology of the Fair Fund Plan, is available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2009/34-60011-pdp.pdf. None of these payments has had, or is expected to have, a material effect on the net asset value of any fund.

4.  Risks:

The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

5.  Line of Credit:

The Victory Trusts (except International Fund and International Select Fund) participate in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with KeyCorp, an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the agreement, the Victory Trusts may borrow up to $200 million. The purpose of the agreement is to

7.  Market Events:

The value of asset-backed securities, including those issued by structured investment vehicles (SIVs), may be affected by, among other things, changes in: interest rates, the quality of underlying assets or the market's assessment of those assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the receivables, or the creditworthiness of entities that provide any credit enhancements. SIVs generally have experienced significantly decreased liquidity as well as declines in the market value of certain categories of collateral underlying the SIVs.

The Institutional Money Market Fund (the "IMM Fund") owns obligations of SIV Portfolio plc ("Portfolio"), formerly Cheyne Finance LLC, a SIV. On August 28, 2007, Portfolio breached a financial covenant related to the market value of its underlying collateral. Portfolio subsequently became insolvent and defaulted on its obligations to pay interest and principal due to the noteholders. The Trust's Board, acting on the recommendation of the Adviser, and in the exercise of its business judgment, concluded that it would not be in the best interests of the IMM Fund or or its shareholders to dispose of the Portfolio security at that time.

On April 16, 2008, the IMM Fund received a partial payment on the Portfolio obligations it owned. In mid-July 2008, Portfolio was restructured and, in an auction held by the receiver, bidders acquired approximately 21% of Portfolio's non-cash assets. The remaining non-cash assets were transferred to Gryphon Funding ("Gryphon"), a new SIV. Portfolio retained 7.5% of its original assets in cash. On August 15, 2008, Portfolio distributed the majority of this cash to shareholders, but retained approximately 1% of such cash. As a result of the reorganization, the IMM Fund currently hold interests in both Portfolio and Gryphon. During the period ended April 30, 2009, Gryphon made cash distributions from the underlying holdings.

On July 17, 2008, KeyCorp, the parent of the Adviser, amended an irrevocable letter of credit that was established for the benefit of the IMM Fund to maintain its AAAm S&P rating and upon which the IMM Fund could draw should certain triggering events occur. The amendment increased the amount of the letter of credit to $15 million. Under the letter of credit, KeyCorp has agreed to maintain the mark-to-market net asset value of the IMM Fund so that it does not fall below $0.9985 (or $0.9950 if the IMM Fund no longer is rated by Standard & Poor's Corporation). Effective March 30, 2009, the July 17, 2008 amended letter of credit was amended and restated leaving its substantive provisions intact but, among other things, extending the expiration date to November 6, 2009.

For purposes of carrying out the monitoring procedures, as described in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, the IMM Fund has reduced the mark-to-market values of the Portfolio and Gryphon securities to amounts below par. Through April 30, 2009, the IMM Fund has drawn on the letter of credit for total amounts of $0.6 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended April 30, 2009 and cumulative, respectively, permitting the IMM Fund to maintain its rounded per share net asset value at $1.00. For financial statement purposes, the Portfolio and Gryphon securities are recorded at fair value.

As of May 28, 2009, in accordance with the terms of the letter of credit, KeyCorp has advised the Trust's Board that it intends to maintain the IMM Fund at the levels stated above.

Other Information

On December 3, 2008, the Victory Portfolios (the "Funds") dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Funds' Audit Committee and Board of Trustees participated in and approved the decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Funds' financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through December 3, 2008, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

As disclosed in the Funds' Form N-SAR for the period ended October 31, 2007, the Victory Investment Grade Convertible Bond Fund did not maintain effective controls over recognition of premium amortization on certain convertible bond investments to ensure that premiums attributable to the equity conversion feature were not amortized for federal income tax purposes.

The Funds engaged Ernst & Young LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of December 3, 2008.

Expense Examples:

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and shareholder service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

*  Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.

**  Annualized

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")

The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of all of the Funds at its regular meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 3, 2008. The Board also considered information relating to the Agreement at a meeting on October 22, 2008. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. The Board carefully evaluated this information and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and by legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board reviewed numerous factors with respect to each Fund. The Board considered each Fund's investment performance as a significant factor in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:

• Services provided under the Agreement;

• Requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;

• The quality of the services provided and expected to be provided;

• Fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale benefits to Fund shareholders as the Funds grow;

• Total expenses of each Fund, net of any distribution or shareholder servicing fees;

• Adviser's commitments to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;

• Profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;

• Soft-dollar and other service benefits received by the Adviser, including, sources of revenue to affiliates of the Adviser from the Funds through custodian and administration fees;

• Capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;

• Current economic and industry trends; and

• Historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser.

The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee, comprised of the advisory fee plus the administrative fee paid to the Adviser, in the context of the Adviser's profitability of each Fund individually. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's expense ratio, net of any distribution or shareholder servicing fees, and management fee with comparable mutual funds in a peer group compiled by the Adviser. The Board carefully reviewed the factors and methodology used by the Adviser in the selection of each Fund's peer group. When relevant, the Board also reviewed fees that the Adviser charged for managing the assets of similarly-managed institutional accounts. The Trustees also noted that the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for each of the Funds evidenced the Adviser's willingness to share in its economies of scale.

The Board reviewed each Fund's performance against the selected peer group and its performance against the Fund's selected benchmark index. The Board recognized that each Fund's performance is provided net of expenses, while the benchmark indices are gross returns.

The Board reviewed specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered, and it is presumed that each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors.

Institutional Money Market Fund:

The Board compared the Institutional Money Market Fund's 0.25% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was lower than the median gross management fee of 0.35% for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Investor Class annual expense ratio, net of any shareholder servicing fee, of 0.37% to the median net comparable expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that the Fund's expense ratio was equal to the median net expense ratio for the peer group. It was noted that the Investor Class pays no shareholder servicing fee. The Board then compared the Fund's Investor Class performance for the one-year, three year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2008, to that of the peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the peer group in each of the periods except the ten-year period. The Board noted th at the Fund had underperformed the Morningstar category average for only the one-year and three-year periods.

The Board specifically addressed the Fund's performance with the Adviser. The Board considered various factors presented by the Adviser that related to the appropriateness of continuing the agreement with respect to the Fund notwithstanding the negative results as compared with the peer group.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Institutional Money Market Fund's management fee was lower than the median for the peer group and, thus, within the range of management fees attributable to comparable funds; (2) the Fund's annual expenses were equal to the median for the peer group putting it within the range of expenses attributable to comparable funds; and (3) the Fund's performance, though lower than that of the peer group in three of the four periods over the past ten years, was within the range of acceptable performance, given various factors, compared to that of the peer group; the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Federal Money Market Fund:

With respect to the Federal Money Market Fund, the Board compared the Fund's 0.25% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was significantly higher than the median gross management fee of 0.20% for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Investor Class annual expense ratio, net of any shareholder servicing fee, of 0.42% to the median net comparable expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that the Fund's expense ratio was substantially higher than the median net expense ratio for the peer group of 0.21%. It was noted that the Investor Class pays no shareholder servicing fee. The Board then compared the Fund's Investor Class performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2008 to that of the peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the peer group in each o f the periods except the ten-year period. The Board noted that the Fund had outperformed the appropriate Morningstar category average for each of the periods reviewed except the one-year period.

The Board specifically addressed the Fund's higher expenses and lower performance with the Adviser. The Board considered various factors presented by the Adviser that related to the appropriateness of continuing the agreement with respect to the Fund.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Federal Money Market Fund's management fee and expenses, though higher than the median for the peer group, were acceptable given various factors; and (2) the Fund's performance, though lower or equal to that of the peer group in each of the periods over the past ten years, was acceptable given various factors; the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to this Fund.

Approval of the Agreement on Behalf of the Funds

Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions concerning the same, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of each of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for additional annual periods on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others:

• The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Funds and the comparability of the fees paid to the fees paid by other investment companies;

• The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser, in light of the high quality services provided by the Adviser in its management of the Funds and the Funds' historic performance, including the success of the Funds in achieving stated investment objectives;

• The Adviser's long-standing philosophy of managing the Funds with a focus on principal protection as opposed to higher yields relative to peers, a philosophy noted as being especially relevant in the current market environment and in light of publicized credit quality issues experienced by money market funds across the industry;

• The Adviser's entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Funds and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which could entail a substantial commitment of the Adviser's resources to the successful operation of the Funds;

• The Adviser's statements regarding its and its affiliates' commitment to providing additional resources to support the Funds through the current market turmoil, as evidenced, among other things, by the continuing

payments under a special letter of credit voluntarily extended by the Adviser's parent company to the benefit of the Institutional Money Market Fund;

Letter to Our Shareholders

"Nowhere to hide" was the theme for 2008. The S&P 500 suffered its worst calendar year since 1931. Volatility reached extreme levels not seen in decades. Despite aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, which prompted a number of short-term trading rallies, the overriding path was downward.

In the first quarter of 2009, the market continued its overall decline, but rallied sharply towards the end of the quarter to finish in strong fashion. While the economic backdrop remains challenging, indicators are becoming "less bad" and further government/Federal Reserve intervention has provided a lift to the equity market from oversold levels.

The Federal Reserve, in tandem with the U.S. Government, is using all of its tools in an attempt to stabilize financial markets. While specific details are still being determined, recent announcements of the Term Asset-backed Loan Facility (TALF) and the Public Private Investment Plan (PPIP) programs are gaining more support than previous endeavors. Encouragingly, these efforts are taking place simultaneously in different forms on a global scale. This globally coordinated effort to stabilize financial markets and stimulate economic activity could provide support and eventually work as a catalyst for future growth.

While there are still major headwinds, the market is coming off of its worst period in decades, and as a leading indicator of future activity, has priced-in much of the bad news with several technical indicators also pointing towards a recovery. We at Victory remain constructive on the longer term outlook, albeit cognizant of the short-term risks, and continue to hold to our three-tiered strategic plan for investment management:

1.  Consistent Performance and Investment Quality
Dedicated strategy teams maintain complete investment autonomy and consistently apply transparent, repeatable processes. Reliance on fundamental research ensures high-conviction portfolios, and state-of-the-art risk management tools are employed to ensure ongoing risk monitoring. Finally, value-added trading provides effective execution of investment decisions.

2.  Client Service Excellence
Our approach is simple: communication is complete, honest, and straightforward — our goal is no surprises.

3.  Empowerment, Ownership, and Accountability
Victory has an organizational structure that fosters an environment in which investment professionals thrive, and our compensation plan is built to attract and retain industry-leading talent. Our senior management team is committed to delivering high quality investment products and services.

We appreciate your confidence in the Victory Funds. We continue to closely monitor the possibility of increased regulatory reform wrought by these tumultuous times, and will strive to embrace the programs and adopt the procedures necessary

Notes to Financial Statements

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

1.  Organization:

The Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") was organized on December 6, 1995, as a Delaware statutory trust (formerly known as a Delaware business trust) as a successor to a company of the same name organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 5, 1986. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001. As of April 30, 2009, the Trust offered shares of 22 funds. The accompanying financial statements are those of the Government Reserves Fund, Prime Obligations Fund, Financial Reserves Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund").

The Prime Obligations Fund, Financial Reserves Fund, Tax-Free Money Market Fund and Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund are authorized to issue one class of shares: Class A Shares. The Government Reserves Fund is authorized to issue two classes of shares: Trust Shares and Select Shares. Each class of shares in a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under shareholder servicing or distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

The Government Reserves Fund seeks to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Prime Obligations Fund seeks to provide current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. The Financial Reserves Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity. The Tax-Free Money Market Fund seeks to provide current interest income free from federal income taxes consistent with relative liquidity and stability of principal. The Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of Ohio and Ohio municipalities consistent with stability of principal.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Valuation:

Investments of the Funds are recorded at value, determined on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost valuation method, discount or premium is accreted or amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the security. In certain circumstances, securities may be valued at fair value determined pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values.

In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, the market values of the securities held in the Funds are determined at least once per week, unless the need arises to determine more frequently, using prices supplied by the Funds' independent pricing services. These values are then compared to the securities' amortized cost. Securities whose market price varies from amortized cost by more than


36



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

+/- 0.5% are indentified and validated with the pricing service. If Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or the "Adviser") concludes that the price obtained from the pricing service is not reliable, or if the pricing service does not provide a price for a security, the Adviser will provide an independent dealer to supply a price. Absent a price from the pricing service or an independent dealer, the Adviser may supply a fair value for the security for the comparison, which will be determined pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. If the difference between the aggregate market price and aggregate amortized cost of all securities held by a Fund exceeds +/- 0.00375%, the Funds' administrator will notify a senior officer of the Funds who will call a meeting of the Board to fully advise the Funds' Trustees. If the difference exceeds +/- 0.0050%, a meeting of the Board will be convened to determine what action, if any, to initiate.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Funds began applying the standard established under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. One key component of the implementation of SFAS 157 includes the development of a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependant upon the various "inputs" used to determine the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates, applicable to those securities, etc.).

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of April 30, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

Fund Name   LEVEL 1 —
Quoted Prices
  LEVEL 2 —
Other Significant
Observable Inputs
  LEVEL 3 —

Government Reserves Fund   $     $ 820,652     $     $ 820,652    
Prime Obligations Fund           675,619       6,613       682,232    
Financial Reserves Fund           605,375       2,067       607,442    
Tax-Free Money Market Fund           336,295             336,295    
Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund           282,189             282,189

(a) The change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to investments held at April 30, 2009.

Treasury Guaranty Program for Money Market Funds:

The Board of the Trust approved, on October 7, 2008, the participation by each of the Funds in the U.S. Department of Treasury's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the "Program"). The Program insures shareholders against loss up to the maximum amount of shares held as of the close of business September 19, 2008, in the event that any Fund liquidates its holdings and the net asset value per share at the time of liquidation is less than $1.00 per share. The Program is designed to help stabilize the credit markets by discouraging substantial redemptions in money market funds.

Participation in the initial three months of the Program (that is, until December 18, 2008) required a payment to the U.S. Department of Treasury in the amount of 0.01% based on the net asset value of each Fund (except Prime Obligations Fund, which required a payment in the amount of 0.015%) as of September 19, 2008. On November 24, 2008 the Secretary of the Treasury extended the Program beyond its initial three-month term through the close of business April 30, 2009, and on March 31, 2009 chose to extend it further, up through September 18, 2009. On December 3, 2008, the Board approved the Funds' participation in the extension of the Program through April 30, 2009. Furthermore, on April 9, 2009 the Board approved the Funds' continued participation in the Program through September 18, 2009. Participation in these two extensions each required a payment to the U.S. Department of the Treasury in the amount of 0.015% based on the net asset value of each Fund (except Prime Obligations Fund, which required payments of 0.022% and 0.023%, respectively) as of September 19, 2008. The expense of the Program is included within each Fund's Statement of Operations.

Securities Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, portfolio security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Repurchase Agreements:

Each Fund may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements from financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, which the Fund's investment adviser deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. Under a repurchase agreement, the seller agrees to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying securities. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by various corporate, U.S. Government and government-backed securities, with a value of not less than the repurchase price (including interest). If the counter-party defaults, and the

fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and/or result in additional costs. Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held by the Fund's custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis:

All Funds may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond normal settlement periods at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. These values are included in amounts payable for investments purchased on the accompanying statements of assets and l iabilities. As of April 30, 2009, the Funds had no outstanding "when-issued" purchase commitments.

Dividends to Shareholders:

Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the Funds. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (i.e., reclass of market discounts), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund may be reclassified as an offset to ca pital in the statements of assets and liabilities.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

The Funds comply with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FASB") No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax return to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liabilit y for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. FIN 48 includes a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (e.g., the last 4 tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). FIN 48 did not impact the Funds' net assets or results of operations. Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Other:

Expenses that are directly related to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to each fund in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate basis. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, shareholder servicing, printing and 12b-1 fees.

New Accounting Standards:

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds' derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Funds' financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4. "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds financial statement disclosures.

3. Investment Advisory, Administration, and Distribution Agreements:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by VCM, a wholly owned subsidiary of KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Funds. The investment advisory fee of the Government Reserves Fund is computed at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $3.0 billion, 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $3.0 billion and $3.5 billion, and 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $3.5 billion; the investment advisory fee of the Prime Obligations Fund is computed at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1.5 billion, 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion, 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $2.0 billion and $2.5 billion, and 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $2.5 billion; the investment advisory fee of the Financial Reserves Fund is computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets; the investment advisory fee of the Tax-Free Money Market Fund is computed at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $600 million, 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $600 million and $1.2 billion, and 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $1.2 billion; and the investment advisory fee of the Ohio Municipal Money Market is computed at an annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $600 million, 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $600 million and $1.2 billion, and 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $1.2 billion. The Adviser may use its resources to assist with the Funds' distribution and marketing expenses.

KeyBank, serving as custodian for all Funds in the Trust (excluding International Fund and International Select Fund), receives custodian fees computed at the annual rate of 0.013% of the first $10 billion of the Trust's, The Victory Variable Insurance Funds' and The Victory Institutional Funds' (the "Victory Trusts") average daily net assets, 0.0113% of the Victory Trusts' average daily net assets between $10 billion and $12.5 billion and 0.0025% of the Victory Trusts' average daily net assets greater than $12.5 billion. Average daily net assets for this computation does not include International Fund and International Select Fund. The Trust reimburses KeyBank for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing custody services.

VCM also serves as the Funds' administrator and fund accountant. Under an Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement, the Trust and The Victory Variable Insurance Funds (collectively, the "Trusts") pay VCM a fee at the annual rate of 0.108% of the first $8 billion of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts; plus 0.078% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $8 billion and $10 billion; plus 0.075% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $10 billion and $12 billion; plus 0.065% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts greater than $12 billion, for providing certain administrative and fund accounting services to the Trusts' series.

The Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Reserves Fund have entered into an irrevocable letter of credit with KeyCorp, an affiliate of the Adviser. Details of this transaction are located in footnote 7.

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi") acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Funds under a Sub-Administration Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.

Citi also serves as the Funds' Transfer Agent. Under the terms of the Transfer Agent Agreement, Citi receives a fee that is calculated daily at the annual rate of 0.02% of the first $8 billion of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts; plus 0.015% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $8 billion and $16 billion; plus 0.01% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $16 billion and $20 billion; plus 0.005% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts greater than $20 billion. In addition, Citi is entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.

Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.

The Distributor or financial institutions (directly or through the Distributor) may receive from all the Funds (other than the Trust Shares of the Government Reserves Fund), pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan, a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds for providing support services to shareholders of the Funds, which may include establishing and maintaining accounts and records, processing dividend and distribution payments, providing account information, assisting in processing purchase, exchange, and redemption requests, and assisting shareholders in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses. Financial institutions may include affiliates of the Adviser. Currently, the Financial Reserves Fund is not paying this fee. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, affiliates of the Adviser earned $2,755 (amount in thousands).

The Trust has also adopted a "defensive" Rule 12b-1 Plan on behalf of the Funds (does not include Prime Obligations Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund). The Plan allows the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the Funds of distribution expenses. No separate payments are authorized to be made by the Funds pursuant to this Plan. To the extent that any payments made by the Funds' Administrator, Distributor, Adviser or any sub-adviser, directly or through an affiliate (in each case, from its own resources), should be deemed to be indirect financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares within the context of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, then such payments shall be deemed to be authorized by this Plan. No fees are currently being paid under the Plan.

The Adviser, Citi, or other service providers may waive or reimburse fees to assist the Funds in maintaining competitive expense ratios. The amounts are not available to be recouped at a future time.

The Government Reserves Fund, Tax Free Money Market Fund and Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund have entered into a fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement with the Adviser and has agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses by amounts necessary to maintain a minimum yield of 0.01% and in which the Funds have agreed to repay fees that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three fiscal years after such waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent such payments or repayments would not cause the yield of a class to decrease below 0.01%.

The Adviser is contractually limiting fees and expenses until March 31, 2010. As of April 30, 2009, the following amounts have been waived or reimbursed by the Adviser and are subject to repayment by the respective fund (amounts in thousands):

Fund   Amount

Tax Free Money Market Fund     9       2012    
Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund     36       2012    

 

On December 1, 2006, VCM paid the Funds comprising The Victory Portfolios approximately $9.8 million. This amount was allocated to each Fund according to its relative net assets as of November 30, 2006. This payment was made pursuant to an agreement reached among the Funds, BISYS Fund Services, Inc., ("BISYS") (BISYS was acquired by Citi on August 1, 2007) and VCM, the sub-administrator and investment adviser, respectively, relating to certain expenditures that, among other things, supported distribution of Fund shares. The Funds believe that the nature of these expenditures required additional disclosure to the Board at the time incurred. Under the terms of the agreement, Citi and VCM will pay an aggregate of approximately $13.3 million (inclusive of the amounts already paid on December 1, 2006). The payment from Citi will be made on a date and pursuant to a distribution plan to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SE C") in accord with a settlement that BISYS entered into with the SEC on September 26, 2006 relating to the same matters. A proposed plan of distribution, ("Fair Fund Plan") was posted by the SEC for public review and comment on May 29, 2009. Further information, including the methodology of the Fair Fund Plan, is available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2009/34-60011-pdp.pdf. None of these payments has had, or is expected to have, a material effect on the NAV of any Fund.

4.  Risks:

The Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund invests primarily in municipal debt obligations issued by the state of Ohio and its political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. This Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors, which might adversely affect municipalities and companies within the state of Ohio, than are other types of funds that are not geographically concentrated to the same extent.

The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

5.  Line of Credit:

The Victory Trusts (except International Fund and International Select Fund) participate in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with KeyCorp, an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the agreement, the Victory Trusts may borrow up to $200 million. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. KeyCorp receives an annual commitment fee of eight basis points on $200 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Victory Trusts paid approximately $80 to KeyCorp for the Line of Credit fee (amount in thousands). Effective June 1, 2009 KeyCorp will receive an annual commitment fee of 30 basis points on $150 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each Fund in the Victory Trusts (except International Fund and International Select Fund) pays a pro-rata portion of this comm itment fee plus any interest on amounts borrowed. The average daily loan outstanding and average interest rate for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was as follows (amounts in thousands).

7.  Market Events

The value of asset-backed securities, including those issued by structured investment vehicles (SIVs), may be affected by, among other things, changes in: interest rates, the quality of underlying assets or the market's assessment of those assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the receivables, or the creditworthiness of entities that provide any credit enhancements. SIVs generally have experienced significantly decreased liquidity as well as declines in the market value of certain categories of collateral underlying the SIVs.

The Financial Reserves Fund (the "FR Fund") and Prime Obligations Fund (the "PO Fund") each own obligations of SIV Portfolio plc ("Portfolio"), formerly Cheyne Finance LLC, a SIV. On August 28, 2007, Portfolio breached a financial covenant related to the market value of its underlying collateral. Portfolio subsequently became insolvent and defaulted on its obligations to pay interest and principal due to the noteholders. The Trust's Board, acting on the recommendation of the Adviser, and in the exercise of its business judgment, concluded that it would not be in the best interests of either the FR Fund or the PO Fund or their shareholders to dispose of the Portfolio security at that time.

On April 16, 2008, the FR Fund and the PO Fund received a partial payment on the Portfolio obligations they owned. In mid-July 2008, Portfolio was restructured and, in an auction held by the


44

(Unaudited)

receiver, bidders acquired approximately 21% of Portfolio's non-cash assets. The remaining non-cash assets were transferred to Gryphon Funding ("Gryphon"), a new SIV. Portfolio retained 7.5% of its original assets in cash. On August 15, 2008, Portfolio distributed the majority of this cash to shareholders, but retained approximately 1% of such cash. As a result of the reorganization, the FR Fund and the PO Fund currently hold interests in both Portfolio and Gryphon. During the period ended April 30, 2009, Gryphon made cash distributions from the underlying holdings.

On July 17, 2008, KeyCorp, the parent of the Adviser, amended an irrevocable letter of credit that included the FR Fund and the PO Fund under the letter of credit for the stated principal amount of each Fund's original Portfolio investment and to maintain the mark to market net asset values of the FR Fund and the PO Fund so that they do not fall below $0.9950. Effective March 30, 2009, the July 17, 2008 amended letter of credit was amended and restated leaving its substantive provisions intact but, among other things, extending the expiration date to November 6, 2009.

For purposes of carrying out the monitoring procedures, as described in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, the FR Fund and the PO Fund have reduced the mark-to-market values of the Portfolio and Gryphon securities to amounts below par. These reductions have had minimal impact on the deviation between the FR Fund mark-to-market net asset value and its amortized cost price per share has remained at $1.00. Through April 30, 2009 the PO Fund has drawn on the letter of credit for total amounts of $0.5 million and $2.0 million, for the six months ended April 30, 2009 and cumulative, respectively, permitting the PO Fund to maintain its rounded per share net asset value at $1.00. For financial statement purposes, the Portfolio and Gryphon securities are recorded at fair value.

As of May 28, 2009, in accordance with the terms of the letter of credit, KeyCorp has advised the Trust's Board that it intends to maintain the FR Fund and the PO Fund at the levels stated above.

Other Information

On December 3, 2008, the Victory Portfolios (the "Funds") dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Funds' Audit Committee and Board of Trustees participated in and approved the decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Funds' financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through December 3, 2008, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

As disclosed in the Funds' Form N-SAR for the period ended October 31, 2007, the Victory Investment Grade Convertible Bond Fund did not maintain effective controls over recognition of premium amortization on certain convertible bond investments to ensure that premiums attributable to the equity conversion feature were not amortized for federal income tax purposes.

The Funds engaged Ernst & Young LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of December 3, 2008.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009.

Actual Expenses:

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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

Example for Comparison Purposes:  

 

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds.

Board Consideration Disclosure for Retail Money Market Funds

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")

The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of all of the Funds at its regular meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 3, 2008. The Board also considered information relating to the Agreement at a meeting on October 22, 2008. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. The Board carefully evaluated this information and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and by legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board reviewed numerous factors with respect to each Fund. The Board considered each Fund's investment performance as a significant factor in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:

• Services provided under the Agreement;

• Requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;

• Quality of the services provided and expected to be provided;

• Fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale benefits to Fund shareholders as the Funds grow;

• Total expenses of each Fund, net of any distribution or shareholder servicing fees;

• Adviser's commitments to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;

• Profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;

• Soft-dollar and other service benefits received by the Adviser, including, sources of revenue to affiliates of the Adviser from the Funds through custodian and administration fees;

• Capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;

• Current economic and industry trends; and

• Historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser.

The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee, comprised of the advisory fee plus the administrative fee paid to the Adviser, in the context of the Adviser's profitability of each Fund individually. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's expense ratio, net of any distribution or shareholder servicing fees, and management fee with comparable mutual funds in a peer group compiled by the Adviser. The Board carefully reviewed the factors and methodology used by the Adviser in the selection of each Fund's peer group. When relevant, the Board also reviewed fees that the Adviser charged for managing the assets of similarly-managed institutional accounts. The Trustees also noted that the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for each of the Funds other than the Financial Reserves Fund evidenced the Adviser's willingness to share in its economies of scale.

The Board reviewed each Fund's performance against the selected peer group and its Morningstar category averages. The Board recognized that each Fund's performance is provided net of expenses, while the benchmark indices are gross returns.

The Board reviewed various specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered, and it is presumed that each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors.

Government Reserves Fund:

The Board compared the Government Reserves Fund's 0.50% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was higher than the median management fee of 0.47% for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Select Class annual expense ratio, net of any shareholder servicing fee, of 0.57% to the median comparable expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that the Fund's ratio also was higher than the peer group median of 0.55%. The Board

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

  (Unaudited)

then compared the Fund's Select Class performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2008 to that of the peer group median total returns for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the peer group for each of the periods. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the appropriate Morningstar category average for each of the four periods reviewed.

The Board specifically addressed the Fund's expenses and performance with the Adviser and considered the fact that, unlike the majority of the funds in the peer group, the Fund is uniquely managed to provide income that is exempt from state taxes, providing a higher after-tax return. The Board noted that the peer group's returns are primarily based on gross yield before taxes, and that the Fund's strategy precluded it from investing in repurchase agreements, which tend to have higher gross yields before taxes.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Government Reserves Fund's management fee, though higher than the median for the peer group, was acceptable given various factors considered; (2) the Fund's annual expenses, though higher than the median for the peer group, were within the range of expenses attributable to comparable money market funds; and (3) the Fund's investment strategy is targeted to investors who desire income that is exempt from state income taxes, causing the Fund to appear to underperform against its peers (at least on a pre-tax basis); the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to this Fund.

Prime Obligations Fund:

With respect to the Prime Obligations Fund, the Board compared the Fund's 0.44% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was equal to the median gross management fee for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Class A annual expense ratio, net of any shareholder servicing fee, of 0.52% to the median comparable expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that the Fund's ratio was lower than the peer group median of 0.56%. The Board then compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2008 to that of the peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed or equaled the performance of the peer group in each of the periods except the one-year period. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the appropriate Morningstar category average for each of the four periods reviewed.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Prime Obligations Fund's management fee and annual expenses were well within the range of management fees and annual expenses attributable to comparable mutual funds; and (2) the Fund had outperformed or equaled the performance of its peer group in each of three of the four periods reviewed; the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to this Fund.

Financial Reserves Fund:

The Board compared the Financial Reserves Fund's 0.60% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was significantly higher than the median gross management fee of 0.46% for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Class A annual expense ratio of 0.67% to the median net expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that the Fund's ratio was lower than the peer group median of 0.69%. In noting the absence of breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee, the Board considered that the Fund had been relatively small for a number of years. It was also noted that the Fund pays no shareholder servicing fees. The Board then compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2008 to that of the peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed or equaled the peer gr oup in each of the periods except the one-year period. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the appropriate Morningstar category average for each of the four periods reviewed.

The Board specifically addressed the Fund's higher management fee with the Adviser. The Board considered various factors presented by the Adviser that related to the appropriateness of continuing the agreement with respect to the Fund notwithstanding the negative results as compared with the peer group.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Financial Reserves Fund's management fee, though higher than the median for the peer group, was acceptable given various factors considered; (2) the Fund's annual


53

expenses were well within the range of comparable expenses for comparable mutual funds; and (3) the Fund had outperformed or equaled the performance of its peer group in each of three of the four periods reviewed; the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to this Fund.

Tax-Free Money Market Fund:

The Board compared the Tax-Free Money Market Fund's 0.44% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was lower than the median gross management fee of 0.49% for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Class A annual expense ratio, net of any shareholder servicing fee, of 0.52% to the median comparable expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that the Fund's ratio was lower than the peer group median of 0.57%. The Board then compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2008 to that of the peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the peer group for each of the periods. The Board noted that the Fund had also underperformed the appropriate Morningstar category average for each of the four periods reviewed.

The Board specifically addressed the Fund's performance with the Adviser. The Board considered various factors presented by the Adviser that related to the appropriateness of continuing the agreement with respect to the Fund. The Board also considered that, unlike many of it peers, the Fund is managed to limit exposure to securities that pay interest subject to the federal alternative minimum tax ("AMT"), potentially resulting in a more favorable relative after-tax yield for investors subject to AMT.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Tax-Free Money Market Fund's management fee and annual expenses were well within the range of management fee and expenses attributable to comparable mutual funds; and (2) among other factors, the Fund's investment strategy of limiting income that was subject to the AMT detracted from the Fund's performance as compared to the peer group (at least on a pre-tax basis), since the peer group included Funds that could generate unlimited income subject to ATM; the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to this Fund.

Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund:

With respect to the Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund, the Board compared the Fund's 0.54% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was higher than the median gross management fee of 0.50% for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Class A annual expense ratio, net of any shareholder servicing fee, of 0.62% to the median comparable expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that the Fund's ratio was higher than the peer group median of 0.57%. The Board then compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2008 to that of the peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the peer group for each of the periods. The Board noted that the Fund had also underperformed the appropriate Morningstar category average in each of the four periods re viewed.

The Board specifically addressed the Fund's higher management fee, higher expenses and relatively less favorable performance with the Adviser. The Board considered various factors presented by the Adviser that related to the appropriateness of continuing the agreement with respect to the Fund notwithstanding the negative results as compared with the peer group.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund's management fee, though higher than the median management fee of the peer group, was acceptable given various factors considered; (2) the Fund's annual expenses, though higher than the median expense ratio of the peer group, were within the range of expenses of comparable mutual funds and were acceptable given various factors considered; and (3) the Fund's performance was the result of the Adviser managing the Fund to preserve principal; the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to this Fund.

Approval of the Agreement on Behalf of the Funds

Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions concerning the same, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of each of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for additional annual periods on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others:

• The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Funds and the comparability of the fees paid to the fees paid by other investment companies;

• The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser, in light of the high quality services provided by the Adviser in its management of the Funds and the Funds' historic performance, including the success of the Funds in achieving stated investment objectives;

• The Adviser's long-standing philosophy of managing the Funds with a focus on principal protection as opposed to higher yields relative to peers, a philosophy noted as being especially relevant in the current market environment and in light of publicized credit quality issues experienced by money market funds across the industry;

• The Adviser's entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Funds and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which could entail a substantial commitment of the Adviser's resources to the successful operation of the Funds;

• The Adviser's statements regarding its and its affiliates' commitment to providing additional resources to support the Funds through the current market turmoil, as evidenced, among other things, by the continuing payments under a special letter of credit voluntarily extended by the Adviser's parent company to the benefit of the Prime Money Market Fund and the Financial Reserves Fund;

• The Adviser's representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Funds, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience;

• The Adviser's efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing qualified portfolio management teams, committing substantial resources, and implementing a risk management program aimed at measuring, managing and monitoring portfolio risk, and to reduce expenses across the complex; and

• The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and performance of the Adviser.

Letter to Our Shareholders

"Nowhere to hide" was the theme for 2008. The S&P 500 suffered its worst calendar year since 1931. Volatility reached extreme levels not seen in decades. Despite aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, which prompted a number of short-term trading rallies, the overriding path was downward.

In the first quarter of 2009, the market continued its overall decline, but rallied sharply towards the end of the quarter to finish in strong fashion. While the economic backdrop remains challenging, indicators are becoming "less bad" and further government/Federal Reserve intervention has provided a lift to the equity market from oversold levels.

The Federal Reserve, in tandem with the U.S. Government, is using all of its tools in an attempt to stabilize financial markets. While specific details are still being determined, recent announcements of the Term Asset-backed Loan Facility (TALF) and the Public Private Investment Plan (PPIP) programs are gaining more support than previous endeavors. Encouragingly, these efforts are taking place simultaneously in different forms on a global scale. This globally coordinated effort to stabilize financial markets and stimulate economic activity could provide support and eventually work as a catalyst for future growth.

While there are still major headwinds, the market is coming off of its worst period in decades, and as a leading indicator of future activity, has priced-in much of the bad news with several technical indicators also pointing towards a recovery. We at Victory remain constructive on the longer term outlook, albeit cognizant of the short-term risks, and continue to hold to our three-tiered strategic plan for investment management:

1.  Consistent Performance and Investment Quality
Dedicated strategy teams maintain complete investment autonomy and consistently apply transparent, repeatable processes. Reliance on fundamental research ensures high-conviction portfolios, and state-of-the-art risk management tools are employed to ensure ongoing risk monitoring. Finally, value-added trading provides effective execution of investment decisions.

2.  Client Service Excellence
Our approach is simple: communication is complete, honest, and straightforward — our goal is no surprises.

3.  Empowerment, Ownership, and Accountability
Victory has an organizational structure that fosters an environment in which investment professionals thrive, and our compensation plan is built to attract and retain industry-leading talent. Our senior management team is committed to delivering high quality investment products and services.

We appreciate your confidence in the Victory Funds. We continue to closely monitor the possibility of increased regulatory reform wrought by these tumultuous times, and will strive to embrace the programs and adopt the procedures necessary to safeguard our shareholders. If you have questions or would like further information, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-539-3863, or via our Website at www.VictoryConnect.com.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

1.  Organization:

The Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") was organized on December 6, 1995 as a Delaware statutory trust (formerly a Delaware business trust) as a successor to a company of the same name organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 5, 1986. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end investment company. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001. As of April 30, 2009, the Trust offered shares of 22 funds. The accompanying financial statements are those of the Diversified Stock Fund (the "Fund").

The Fund is authorized to issue four classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under shareholder servicing or distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Valuation:

Portfolio securities listed or traded on domestic securities exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there are no sales for that day on the exchange or system, a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. Debt securities of U.S. issuers (other than short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less), including corporate and municipal securities, are valued on the basis of bid valuations provided by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Futures contracts are valued at settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. Options traded on an exchange are valued using that last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean of the latest bid and ask prices. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee under the direction of the Board.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Fund began applying the standard established under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. One key component of the implementation of SFAS 157 includes the development of a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependant upon the various "inputs" used to determine the


16



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates, applicable to those securities, etc.).

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of April 30, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

Fund

  LEVEL 1 —
Quoted Prices
  LEVEL 2 —

  $ 3,247,039     $ 549,991     $ 4,788     $ 3,801,818    

 

Reconciliation of Level 3 items.

Following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Diversified Stock Fund   Investments In
Securities
 
Balance as of 10/31/08   $ 23,809    
Realized Gain (Loss)        
Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation(a)     (845 )  
Net purchases (sales)     (18,176 )  
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3        
Balance as of 4/30/09   $ 4,788    

 

(a)  The change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to investments held at April 30, 2009.

Securities Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, portfolio security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Repurchase Agreements:

The Fund may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements from financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, which the Fund's investment adviser deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. Under a repurchase agreement, the seller agrees to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying securities. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by various corporate, U.S. Government and government-backed securities, with a value of not less than the repurchase price (including interest). If the counter-party defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or


17



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

limited and/or result in additional costs. Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held by the Fund's custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.

Futures Contracts:

The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. The Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would re quire it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. As of April 30, 2009, the Fund did not hold any futures contracts.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis:

The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond normal settlement periods at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. These values are included in amounts payable for investments purchased on the accompanying statements of assets and li abilities. As of April 30, 2009, the Fund had no outstanding "when-issued" purchase commitments.

Securities Lending:

The Fund may, from time to time, lend securities from its portfolio to broker-dealers, banks, financial institutions and other institutional borrowers approved by the Board. The Fund will limit its securities lending activity to 33 1/3% of its total assets. KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"), the Fund's custodian and an affiliate of Victory Capital Management Inc., the Fund's investment adviser ("VCM" or the "Adviser"), serves as the lending agent for the Trust pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the "Lending Agreement"), for which it receives a fee. KeyBank's fee is computed monthly in arrears and is 25% of the sum of all interest, dividends and other distributions earned from the investment of collateral in investments, as approved by the Board, net of rebates paid by KeyBank to borrowers and net of brokerage commissions, if any, incurred in making or liquidating the investments. For the six months ended April 30, 2009 KeyBank received $25 (amount in thousands) in total from the Trust, The Victory Variable Insurance Funds and The


18



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

Victory Institutional Funds (collectively the "Victory Trusts") for its services as lending agent. Under guidelines established by the Board, the Fund must maintain loan collateral (with KeyBank) at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities in the form of cash or U.S. Government obligations, to secure the return of the loaned securities.

Initial value of loan collateral shall be no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities plus the accrued interest on debt securities. KeyBank, at the direction of the Adviser, consistent with the Trust's securities lending guidelines, may invest the collateral in short-term debt instruments that the Adviser has determined present minimal credit risks. There is a risk of delay in receiving collateral or in receiving the securities loaned or even a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.

By lending its securities, the Fund can increase its income by continuing to receive interest or dividends on the loaned securities as well as investing the cash collateral in short-term U.S. Government securities, repurchase agreements, or other short-term securities. The cash collateral, or short-term investments purchased with such collateral, is recorded as an asset of the Fund, offset by a corresponding liability to return all collateral as cash at the termination of the securities loan(s). Fixed income securities received as collateral are not recorded as an asset or liability of the Trust because the Fund does not have effective control of such securities. Loans are subject to termination by the Trust or the borrower at any time.

The Fund loaned securities and received cash collateral with the following values as of April 30, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

(a)  Rate disclosed is the one day yield as of 4/30/09.

Dividends to Shareholders:

Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (i.e. reclass of market discounts and gain/loss) such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an o ffset to capital in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

The Fund complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax return to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liabili ty for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. Implementation of FIN 48 includes a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (e.g., the last 4 tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). FIN 48 did not impact the Fund's net assets or result of operations. Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

In-Kind Redemptions:

In certain circumstances, the Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for redemption of Fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recognizes a gain on the in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on


20



Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The Victory Portfolios  April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities; the Fund recognizes a loss if cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on the in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes, and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (losses) to paid-in capital. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund realized $1,804 of net gain on $10,954 of in-kind redemptions (amounts in thousands).

Other:

Expenses that are directly related to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to each fund in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate basis. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, shareholder servicing, printing and 12b-1 fees.

New Accounting Standards:

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund's derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Fund's financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds financial statement disclosures.

VCM also serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under an Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement, the Trust and The Victory Variable Insurance Funds (collectively the "Trusts") pay VCM a fee at the annual rate of 0.108% of the first $8 billion of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts; plus 0.078% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $8 billion and $10 billion; plus 0.075% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $10 billion and $12 billion; plus 0.065% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts greater than $12 billion, for providing certain administrative and fund accounting services to the Trusts' series.

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi") acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund and receives a fee under a Sub-Administration Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust also reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.

Citi also serves as the Fund's Transfer Agent. Under the terms of the Transfer Agent Agreement, Citi receives a fee that is calculated daily at the annual rate of 0.02% of the first $8 billion of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts; plus 0.015% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $8 billion and $16 billion; plus 0.01% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts between $16 billion and $20 billion; plus 0.005% of the aggregate net assets of the Trusts greater than $20 billion. In addition, Citi is entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.

Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.

Pursuant to the Trust's 12b-1 Plan, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R Shares of the Fund and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C Shares of the Fund. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class R and Class C Shares of the Fund. For six months ended April 30, 2009, affiliates of the Adviser or the Fund earned $62 (amount in the thousands).

The Distributor or financial institutions (directly or through the Distributor), pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan, may receive from Class A Shares of the Fund a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares of the Fund for providing support services to shareholders of the Fund, which may include establishing and maintaining accounts and records, processing dividend and distribution payments, providing account information, assisting in processing purchase, exchange and redemption requests, and assisting shareholders in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses. Financial institutions may include affiliates of the Adviser. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, affiliates of the Adviser or the Fund earned $320 (amount in thousands).

In addition, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent are entitled to receive commissions on sales of the Class A Shares and redemptions of Class C Shares, respectively, of the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Distributor received approximately $21 from commissions earned on sales of Class A Shares and the Transfer Agent received $16 from redemptions of Class C Shares of the Fund. A portion of the commissions earned on Class A Shares were reallowed to dealers who sold the Fund's shares, including approximately $3 to affiliates of the Fund (amounts in thousands).

The Trust has also adopted a "defensive" Rule 12b-1 Plan on behalf of the Class A Shares of the Fund. The Plan allows the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the Fund of distribution expenses. No separate payments are authorized to be made by the Fund pursuant to this Plan. To the extent that any payments made by the Fund's Administrator, Distributor, Adviser or any sub-adviser, directly or through an affiliate (in each case, from its own resources), should be deemed to be indirect financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares within the context of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, then such payments shall be deemed to be authorized by this Plan.

(Unaudited)

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund. Under the terms of the agreement, to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for the Fund, such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the expense limits were as follows:

    Diversified
Stock Fund
 
Class C Shares     2.00 %*  

 

* In effect until at least February 28, 2014.

The Adviser, Citi or other service providers may waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining a competitive expense ratio. Waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time.

On December 1, 2006, VCM paid the Funds comprising The Victory Portfolios approximately $9.8 million. This amount was allocated to each Fund according to its relative net assets as of November 30, 2006. This payment was made pursuant to an agreement reached among the Funds, BISYS Fund Services, Inc., ("BISYS") (BISYS was acquired by Citi on August 1, 2007) and VCM, the sub-administrator and investment adviser, respectively, relating to certain expenditures that, among other things, supported distribution of Fund shares. The Funds believe that the nature of these expenditures required additional disclosure to the Board at the time incurred. Under terms of the agreement, Citi and VCM will pay an aggregate of approximately $13.3 million (inclusive of the amounts already paid on December 1, 2006). The payment from Citi will be made on a date and pursuant to a distribution plan to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in accord with a settlement that BISYS entered into with the SEC on September 26, 2006 relating to the same matters. A proposed plan of distribution, ("Fair Fund Plan") was posted by the SEC for public review and comment on May 29, 2009. Further information, including the methodology of the Fair Fund Plan, is available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2009/34-60011-pdp.pdf. None of these payments has had, or is expected to have, a material effect on the net asset value of any fund.

5.  Risks:

The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments entered into by the Fund. The Fund may be negatively impacted if counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund typically enters into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

6.  Line of Credit:

The Victory Trusts (except International Fund and International Select Fund) participate in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with KeyCorp, an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the agreement, the Victory Trusts may borrow up to $200 million. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. KeyCorp receives an annual commitment fee of eight basis points on $200 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Victory Trusts paid approximately $80 to KeyCorp for the Line of Credit fee (amount in thousands). Effective June 1, 2009, KeyCorp will receive an annual commitment fee of 30 basis points on $150 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund of the Victory Trusts (except International Fund and International Select Fund) pays a pro-rata portion of this com mitment fee plus any interest on amounts borrowed. The average loan outstanding for the Fund during the six

months ended April 30, 2009 was $55 (amount in thousands). The average interest rate for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was 1.32%. At April 30, 2009, the Fund had no loans outstanding with KeyCorp.

This amount is $5,948 (amount in thousands), expiring in 2010. The Fund also has a capital loss carryforward of $271,789 (amount in thousands) expiring in 2016.

Other Information

On December 3, 2008, the Victory Portfolios (the "Funds") dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Funds' Audit Committee and Board of Trustees participated in and approved the decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Funds' financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through December 3, 2008, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

As disclosed in the Funds' Form N-SAR for the period ended October 31, 2007, the Victory Investment Grade Convertible Bond Fund did not maintain effective controls over recognition of premium amortization on certain convertible bond investments to ensure that premiums attributable to the equity conversion feature were not amortized for federal income tax purposes.

The Funds engaged Ernst & Young LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of December 3, 2008.

Forms N-Q are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov. You may also review or, for a fee, copy those documents by visiting the Securities and Exchange Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room can be obtained by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-202-551-8090.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) 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 from November 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009.

Actual Expenses:

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

*Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.

**Annualized

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes:

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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement").

The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of the Fund at its regular meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 3, 2008. The Board also considered information relating to the Agreement at a meeting on October 22, 2008. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. The Board carefully evaluated this information and was advised by legal counsel to the Fund and by legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board reviewed numerous factors with respect to the Fund. The Board considered the Fund's investment performance as a significant factor in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:

• Services provided under the Agreement;

• Requirements of the Fund for the services provided by the Adviser;

• The quality of the services provided and expected to be provided;

• Fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale benefits to Fund shareholders as the Fund grows;

• Total expenses of the Fund, net of any distribution or shareholder servicing fees;

• The Adviser's commitments to operating the Fund at competitive expense levels;

• Profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Fund;

• Soft-dollar and other service benefits received by the Adviser, including, sources of revenue to affiliates of the Adviser from the Fund through custodian and administration fees;

• Capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;

• Current economic and industry trends; and

• Historical relationship between the Fund and the Adviser.

The Board reviewed the Fund's current management fee, comprised of the advisory fee plus the administrative fee paid to the Adviser, in the context of the Adviser's profitability of the Fund individually. In addition, the Board compared the Fund's expense ratio, net of any distribution or shareholder servicing fees, and management fee with comparable mutual funds in a peer group compiled by the Adviser. The Board carefully reviewed the factors and methodology used in the selection of the Fund's peer group. When relevant, the Board also reviewed fees that the Adviser charged for managing the assets of similarly-managed institutional accounts. The Trustees also noted that the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for the Fund evidenced the Adviser's willingness to share in its economies of scale.

The Board reviewed the Fund's performance against the selected peer group and its performance against the Fund's selected benchmark index. The Board recognized that the Fund's performance is provided net of expenses, while the benchmark indices are gross returns.

The Board reviewed specific factors with respect to the Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered, and it is presumed that each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors.

The Board compared the Fund's 0.67% gross annual management fee to the median gross management fee for the peer group and considered the fact that the fee was higher than the median gross management fee of 0.63% for the peer group. The Board also compared the Fund's Class A annual expense ratio, net of any shareholder servicing fee, of 0.77% to the median comparable expense ratio for the peer group and considered the fact that Fund's expense ratio was lower than the peer group's 0.81%. The Board also considered the fact that the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses, excluding certain specified costs, if the Fund's Class C expenses exceeded 2.00% through February 28, 2014, and was willing to voluntarily waive its fees and reimburse expenses, excluding certain specified costs, if the Fund's Class I expenses exceeded 0.79%. The Board then compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year

periods ended July 31, 2008 to that of the peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed the peer group in each of the periods. The Board noted that the Fund had also outperformed its benchmark index and its Morningstar category average in each of the periods.

Having concluded, among other things, that: (1) the Fund's management fee, while higher than the peer group median, was acceptable given the fact that the Fund's expense ratio was lower than the peer group median; (2) the Adviser's willingness to limit the Fund's Class C and Class I expense ratios would provide stability to the Fund's Class C and Class I expenses; and (3) the Fund had outperformed its peer group, its benchmark and its Morningstar category average during each of the four periods reviewed; the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders to approve the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Approval of the Agreement on Behalf of the Fund

Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions concerning the same, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Fund discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, for an additional annual period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others:

• The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee paid to the fees paid by other investment companies;

• The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser, in light of the high quality services provided by the Adviser in its management of the Fund and the Fund's historic performance, including the success of the Fund in achieving stated investment objectives;

• The Adviser's entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Fund and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which could entail a substantial commitment of the Adviser's resources to the successful operation of the Fund;

• The Adviser's representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Fund, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience;

• The Adviser's efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing quality portfolio management teams, committing substantial resources, and implementing a risk management program aimed at measuring, managing and monitoring portfolio risk, and to reduce expenses across the complex; and

• The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and performance of the Adviser.

To Our Shareholders

"Nowhere to hide" was the theme for 2008. The S&P 500 suffered its worst calendar year since 1931. Volatility reached extreme levels not seen in decades. Despite aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, which prompted a number of short-term trading rallies, the overriding path was downward.

In the first quarter of 2009, the market continued its overall decline, but rallied sharply towards the end of the quarter to finish in strong fashion. While the economic backdrop remains challenging, indicators are becoming "less bad" and further government/Federal Reserve intervention has provided a lift to the equity market from oversold levels.

The Federal Reserve, in tandem with the U.S. Government, is using all of its tools in an attempt to stabilize financial markets. While specific details are still being determined, recent announcements of the Term Asset-backed Loan Facility (TALF) and the Public Private Investment Plan (PPIP) programs are gaining more support than previous endeavors. Encouragingly, these efforts are taking place simultaneously in different forms on a global scale. This globally coordinated effort to stabilize financial markets and stimulate economic activity could provide support and eventually work as a catalyst for future growth.

While there are still major headwinds, the market is coming off of its worst period in decades, and as a leading indicator of future activity, has priced-in much of the bad news with several technical indicators also pointing towards a recovery. We at Victory remain constructive on the longer term outlook, albeit cognizant of the short-term risks, and continue to hold to our three-tiered strategic plan for investment management:

1.  Consistent Performance and Investment Quality

Dedicated strategy teams maintain complete investment autonomy and consistently apply transparent, repeatable processes. Reliance on fundamental research ensures high-conviction portfolios, and state-of-the-art risk management tools are employed to ensure ongoing risk monitoring. Finally, value-added trading provides effective execution of investment decisions.

2.  Client Service Excellence

Our approach is simple: communication is complete, honest, and straightforward — our goal is no surprises.

3.  Empowerment, Ownership, and Accountability

Victory has an organizational structure that fosters an environment in which investment professionals thrive, and our compensation plan is built to attract and retain industry-leading talent. Our senior management team is committed to delivering high quality investment products and services.

We appreciate your confidence in the Victory Funds. We continue to closely monitor the possibility of increased regulatory reform wrought by these tumultuous times, and will strive to embrace the programs and adopt the procedures necessary
