VIKING TAX-FREE FUND FOR MONTANA
VIKING TAX-FREE FUND FOR NORTH DAKOTA

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana ("Tax-Free Fund for MT") and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota ("Tax-Free Fund for ND") (each a "Fund") for the six months ended June 29, 2012. Each Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Economic Recap

The U.S. economy has continued to recover, but economic activity appears to have decelerated somewhat during the first half of this year. Conditions in the labor market improved during the latter part of 2011 and early this year, with the unemployment rate falling about a percentage point over that period. However, after running at nearly 200,000 per month during the fourth and first quarters, the average increase in employment shrank to 75,000 per month during the second quarter of 2012. Consumer spending has continued to advance, but recent data indicate a somewhat slower rate of growth in the second quarter. Although declines in energy prices are now providing some support to consumers' purchasing power, households remain concerned about their employment and income prospects and their overall level of confidence remains relatively low. We have seen modest signs of improvement in housing. Because of historically low mortgage rates, both new and existing home sales have been gradually trending upward and some measures of house prices have turned up recently. Slowing growth in production and capital investment appears to reflect economic stresses in Europe, which, together with some cooling in the economies of other trading partners, is restraining the demand for U.S. exports. Given the slowing economic growth, the Fed stated that "further policy stimulus likely would be necessary to promote satisfactory growth in employment and to ensure that the inflation rate would be at the Committee's goal."

Municipal Bond Market Recap

On the heels of a stellar total return performance in 2011, the municipal market entered 2012 with a full head of steam...and very little new issue supply to satisfy demand. Accelerating demand further was the Fed's late January announcement that the fed funds rate would remain at "exceptionally low levels" through late 2014. With new issue supply still depressed in early February, the municipal market continued its strength until an outsized week of primary issuance in early March ended the run and sharply reversed much of the prior municipal price gains amid a relatively stable UST market. Shortly thereafter, a downturn in USTs amplified the price declines in municipals, vaulting 10-year benchmark municipal yields over 65 basis points higher during the course of just a few weeks. What followed this correction was a generally steady pace of price advances driven by consistently robust weekly mutual fund inflows amid constrained net new bond supply. Although primary market supply is indeed higher year-over-year by a striking 65%, the data masks the reality that the majority of issuance has been for refunding purposes and does not add to net available bond supply.

Fund Performance and Outlook

Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax-Free Fund for ND provided a total return of 2.23%* and 2.18%*, respectively (at net asset value with distributions reinvested) for the six months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the Funds' benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index which returned 3.66%.

The first quarter of 2012 was volatile with a significant decline in yields and increase in prices in January and early February resulting in a moderate increase in each Fund's share price. From early February through March, however, municipal yields rose with a resulting decrease in prices and each Fund's share price as supply briefly expanded and U.S. Treasury prices fell.

The second quarter was more stable finishing with lower yields as robust muni fund inflows amid constrained net new muni bond supply drove muni prices as well as the Funds' share prices higher.

As we enter the second half of the year, it is our opinion we will remain in a low interest rate environment for some time. As uncertainty persists domestically and abroad, flight to safety seems to remain an investor's security blanket. We remain optimistic that more money may flow into municipal bonds due to the "safe haven" bid that the tax-exempt municipal market should maintain due to its credit resiliency. In addition, slow growth in the domestic economy, coupled with the downside risks from Europe should continue to foster a low interest rate environment. Although the limitations of monetary policy are becoming increasingly apparent, the Fed appears biased to provide further stimulus in 2012, as the gridlocked U.S. political system seems incapable of producing long-term oriented pro-growth legislation prior to the elections. This, combined with the positive muni market fundamentals of robust fund inflows and constrained net new supply, should bode well for munis in the second half of 2012.

Despite the continued scarcity of Montana and North Dakota municipal bonds throughout the period, each Fund was able to obtain an adequate supply of investment grade bonds of various maturities. Each Fund may also invest in non-rated bonds should we deem they are of investment grade equivalent. We remain committed to our non-interest rate anticipatory style of investing. Rather than betting on the direction of rates, we will continue to seek out the best value among investment grade issues of varying maturities. The highest level of current income that is exempt from federal and each Fund's state income taxes and is consistent with preservation of capital remains the investment objective of each Fund.

Finally, we recommend that shareholders view their investment in each Fund as a long-term investment. As difficult as they may be, periods of panic (and euphoria) tend to be transitory in nature and it's the long-term investors that may be rewarded with the long-term benefits of tax-free income and relatively low volatility that muni bonds have provided for decades.

*Performance does not include applicable front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, which would have reduced the performance. For Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax-Free Fund for ND, the total annual fund operating expense ratio (before expense waivers and reimbursements and including acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 1.25% and 1.35%, respectively. The net annual fund operating expense ratio (after expense waivers and reimbursements and excluding acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 0.96% and 0.96%, respectively.

Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end (available within seven business days of the most recent month end) by calling 800-276-1262.

You should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For this and other important information, please obtain a Fund prospectus at no cost from your financial adviser and read it carefully before investing.

Bond prices and therefore the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Because the Fund invests in securities of a single state, the Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely impacting the respective state than a municipal bond fund that does not concentrate its securities in a single state.

For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a portion of the Fund's dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable.

Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end (available within seven business days of the most recent month end) by calling 800-276-1262.

The table and graph above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions and redemptions of Fund shares.

The graph comparing the Fund's performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how the Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Fund's total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees. A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results. In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities to match the index. If they could, transaction costs and other expenses would be incurred. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1: Organization

Viking Mutual Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware business trust on March 30, 1999 and commenced operations on August 3, 1999. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company and consists of two series (the "Funds").

The Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana ("Tax-Free Fund for MT") and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota ("Tax-Free Fund for ND"), each a non-diversified Fund, seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal and state income taxes and is consistent with preservation of capital.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment security valuation—Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Fund Services, LLC ("Integrity Fund Services" or "IFS"). The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees and includes consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality; type of issue, coupon, maturity, and rating; indications as to value from dealers; and general market conditions. Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Shares of a registered investment company, including money market funds, that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the investment company's net asset value per share. Refer to Note 3 for further disclosures related to the inputs used to value the Funds' investments.

When-issued securities—The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds' Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Contingent deferred sales charge—In the case of investments of $1 million or more, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge "CDSC" may be assessed on shares of Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax-Free Fund for ND if redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions).

Federal and state income taxes—Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2011, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for the tax years before 2008.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities. Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Premiums and discounts—Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are accreted and amortized for financial reporting purposes.

Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the first in, first out basis unless specifically identified. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. The Funds declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment of market discount. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified within the composition of net assets to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax basis treatment.

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

Common expenses—Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds within the Trust based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.

Reporting period end date—For financial reporting purposes, the last day of the reporting period will be the last business day of the month.

NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of June 29, 2012:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 ("Act"), funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period of time. The short-term and long-term character of such losses are retained rather than being treated as short-term as under previous law. Pre-enactment losses are eligible to be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years. Pursuant to the Act, post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital losses. As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. The Funds' capital loss carryforward amounts as of December 30, 2011 are as follows:

NOTE 7: Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Viking Fund Management ("VFM"), the Funds' investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC ("Integrity Funds Distributor" or "IFD"), the Funds' underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, the Funds' transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC ("Corridor Investors" or "Corridor"), the Funds' sponsor. A Trustee of the Funds is also a Governor of Corridor.

VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. The Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of each Funds' average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, VFM has contractually agreed to pay all the expenses of the Funds (other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses) until April 29, 2013 so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.98%. After this date, the expense limitations may be terminated or revised. VFM and affiliated service providers may also voluntarily waive fees or reimburse expenses not required under the advisory or other contracts from time to time. Accordingly, after voluntary waivers and reimbursements, the expenses were at an annual rate of 0.97% of average daily net assets for the six months ended June 29, 2012. VFM and the affiliated service providers have agreed to voluntarily waive the affiliated service provider's fees before voluntarily or contractually waiving VFM's management fee. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

IFD serves as the principal underwriter for the Funds and receives sales charges deducted from sales proceeds and CDSC from applicable redemptions. Also, the Funds have adopted a distribution plan for each class of shares as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Distribution plans permit the Funds to reimburse its principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares of the Funds and for various other services. These costs, which consist primarily of commissions and service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the Funds, are paid by shareholders through expenses called "Distribution Plan expenses." The Funds currently pay an annual distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

NOTE 8: Principal Risks

The Funds invest primarily in municipal securities from a specific state. Each Fund is therefore more susceptible to political, economic, legislative, or regulatory factors adversely affecting issuers of municipal securities in its respective state. Interest rate risk is the risk that bond prices will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. There is normally an inverse relationship between the fair value of securities sensitive to prevailing interest rates and actual changes in interest rates. The longer the average maturity of each Fund's portfolio, the greater its interest rate risk.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (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 one-half year period shown below and held for the entire one-half year period.

Actual expenses

The section in the table under the heading "Actual" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns 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 account value of $8,600 divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class in the column entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The section in the table under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" 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.

Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the one-half year period, and divided by the total number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half year period).
