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", collectively the "Funds") for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Each Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Economic Recap

Economic growth slowed in the first quarter of 2011 as bad weather and high oil prices restrained spending, placing the United States in a modest recovery relative to historical post-recession periods. The continued growth, although tepid, was boosted by the year end tax/stimulus package and a reiteration by the Fed that it would not raise rates any time soon.

The economic data in the second quarter continued to point to slow economic growth. Part of the economic slowdown could be attributed to supply chain problems in Japan caused by the Tsunami's lingering effects. This was coupled with unstable weather in the Midwest and a slowdown in government spending on defense. The economy can't be in very good shape since the Fed has recently stated that rates will stay extraordinarily low through mid 2013. Additionally, the Federal Government's hands are tied regarding future stimulus given the scrutiny of fiscal responsibility by the rating agencies, so the U.S. economy will have to find growth without massive government spending. Fortunately the weather-related disruptions appear to be behind us and the supply disruptions that occurred after the earthquake in Japan should become a tailwind.

Municipal Bond Market Recap

The municipal market started 2011 with solidly negative mutual fund flows, concern of an onslaught of tax-exempt new issue forward supply and significant investor anxiety over the prospect of rampant municipal bond defaults and bankruptcies. Much has changed. Municipal bond mutual fund flows, after recording 29 consecutive weeks of outflows, are now mixed with four of the last eight weeks posting inflows. The prolonged avalanche of tax-exempt supply the market had feared has not materialized with many state and local issuers reluctant to sell debt while facing budgetary pressure. Volume will likely stay low for the foreseeable future which should continue to lead to favorable market conditions. Also, a case can be made that credit fundamentals at the state level may be on the mend. The Rockefeller Institute recently reported five consecutive quarters of state revenue growth, with early indications of yet another positive quarter to follow. On the budget front, among the 46 states whose fiscal 2012 begins on July 1, all but one have balanced and signed budgets. Importantly, these balanced budgets were achieved without the assistance of additional federal stimulus monies. And on those projected rampant defaults... they are out of touch with reality. Municipal bond defaults, according to Thompson Reuters, have lagged behind the pace of the past two years. In 2009, there were about $8 billion of defaults in the roughly $2.9 trillion market. Defaults declined in 2010 to about $3 billion and the pace has continued to slow in 2011 with only $746 million in defaults in the first six months.

Fund Performance and Outlook

Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota provided a total return of 4.74%* and 4.47%*, respectively (at net asset value with distributions reinvested) for the six-months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the Funds' benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, which returned 4.42%.

The first quarter of 2011 was volatile with a significant increase in yields and decrease in prices in January resulting in a moderate decline in each Fund's share price. February, on the other hand, saw a huge decline in yields with a resulting rise in prices and substantial increase in each Fund's share price only to reverse again in March with moderately higher yields and lower prices.

The second quarter witnessed a major rally in the muni market with yields falling sharply in April and May and a corresponding substantial increase in each Fund's share price followed by a more stable June with a slight increase in yields and slight decrease in each Fund's share price.

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.

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, we continue to see daily evidence of weak economic activity that should bolster fixed income investments as retail investors worry about equity market volatility.

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 relative low volatility that muni bonds have provided for decades.

Thank you for investing in the Funds. If you would like more frequent updates, please visit the Funds' website at www.integrityvikingfunds.com for daily prices along with pertinent Fund information.

*Performance does not include applicable front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, which would have reduced the performance. For Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota, 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 1.36% and 1.42%, 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.

VIKING SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Viking Small-Cap Value Fund ("Small-Cap Value Fund", or the "Fund") for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Introduction

The first half of 2011 produced moderate gains for equities across all market capitalizations. In the large-cap segment of the market, the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000 Index were both up about six percent. In the small-cap segment, the Russell 2000 and the Russell 2000 Value indices rose 6.2% and 3.8%, respectively. After the broad-based low quality rally in the second half of 2010, the market appears to be slowing down and focusing more on quality and fundamentals.

Growth led the way in the first half, with the Russell 2000 Growth rising 4.82% more than the value. While markets were strong through April, the declines in May and June brought both growth and value down roughly equal amounts. The leading sectors showed strength in some of the defensive sectors, with health care, utilities and consumer staples sharing the top of the podium with energy stocks. Laggards also showed the market's shift to a more defensive posture, as financials, consumer discretionary and industrial stocks all rose less than average.

The reasons for this sentiment shift are many. Debt troubles in Europe, slowing global economic growth and frustration about the political wrangling over the U.S. debt ceiling are the culprits. These issues have caused a great deal of uncertainty and likely will continue to in the near future. Investors do not have the optimistic view that they had six months ago, and equity returns are starting to reflect that lack of confidence.

Performance Review

The Viking Small Cap Value Fund ended the period with a return of 5.45%*, beating the Russell 2000 Value index's return of 3.77%. This outperformance was due to both strong stock selection and positive sector allocation. In addition, just as our emphasis on high quality stocks hurt our relative performance late in 2010; it is now helping to push us ahead of our competition. The characteristics of the companies that are now producing leading performance are quite different from those of six months ago. Back then, it was the smallest, the most expensive, the most volatile and the lowest dollar price (as opposed to inexpensive) that performed the best. Now, it is the larger, cheaper, more stable, less volatile names that are leading the way. These characteristics are all evident in the higher quality companies that make up our portfolio. While it may show itself through strong stock selection, our recent outperformance may be equally attributed to the emergence of quality as a leading factor.

In the portfolio, the best performing sectors relative to the market were industrials, energy, utilities and information technology, all due to strong stock selection. The areas in which we lagged the market were financials, health care and consumer staples all due to weak stock selection.

Investment Strategy and Market Outlook

Our expectations for the short-term are a moderate return environment with higher volatility. This market will not be the rising tide that lifts all boats, as a slowing growth rate will take the smallest, most speculative names out of a leadership position. Financial strength, a stable business model, sustainable free cash flow and an ability to improve and profit regardless of the external environment will be the key factors driving returns in the year ahead. This is all a function of investor expectations versus what the market's valuation is discounting. The quality companies with reasonable valuations will meet or exceed these expectations and, as a result, perform well. The low quality companies stand a much higher chance of disappointing, and will suffer as a result.

Looking at our sector allocation, we continue to believe industrials will exceed expectations and outperform the market. While their success over the past year and a half makes them more expensive that when we first began to be bullish on the sector, they still have the characteristics we favor (strong balance sheets, good growth prospects, free cash flow) and we feel that the valuations still represent good value. The volatility of energy prices has risen, but the opportunity remains high and we do not see the worldwide supply/demand ratio changing enough to change our long-term bullish stance on this group. Our largest underweight remains financials, due to continued expectations about a relative lack of demand for their services.

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 three 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. The Viking Small-Cap Value Fund ("Small-Cap Value Fund"), a diversified Fund, seeks long-term total return and capital preservation.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment security valuation—Securities for which market quotations are available are valued as follows: (a) listed securities are valued at the closing price obtained from the respective primary exchange on which the security is listed or, if there were no sales on that day, at its last reported current bid price; (b) unlisted securities are valued at the last current bid price obtained from the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System. Integrity Fund Services, LLC ("Integrity Fund Services" or "IFS") obtains all of these prices from services that collect and disseminate such market prices. Prices provided by an independent pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices and may take into account appropriate factors such as: institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. In the absence of an ascertainable market value, assets are valued at their fair value as determined by IFS using methods and procedures reviewed and approved by the Trustees.

Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by 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. 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 1.50% 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 12 months of purchase and a 1.00% CDSC may be assessed on shares of Small-Cap Value Fund 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, 2010, 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 2007.

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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. The Tax-Free Fund for MT and the Tax-Free Fund for ND declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. The Small-Cap Value Fund will declares and pays dividends from net investment income at least annually. 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 for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales. 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.

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 30, 2011:

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. For Small-Cap Value Fund, Fox Asset Management, LLC ("Fox Asset Management" or "Fox") is the sub-adviser.

VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. For Tax-Free Fund for MT, Tax-Free Fund for ND, and Small-Cap Value Fund, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50%, 0.50%, and 1.00%, respectively, of the average daily net assets. VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, until April 29, 2012, for Tax-Free Fund for MT, Tax-Free Fund for ND, Small-Cap Value Fund, so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.07%, 1.07%, and 1.65%, respectively. 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 Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax-Free Fund for ND expenses were at an annual rate of 0.96% of average daily net assets for the six months ended June 30, 2011. 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

Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax-Free Fund for ND 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.
