DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the annual report for the Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana, and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) for the year ended July 31, 2022 (“the period”). The Funds’ portfolios and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

 

Economic Recap

The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC” or “Committee”) in its mid-July meeting decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 percent, the fourth consecutive rate hike in 2022, and anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate. In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities. Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher food and energy prices, and broader price pressures. The Committee is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2 percent objective. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals.

 

Municipal Bond Market Recap

The municipal market started the annual period on a weak note posting three consecutive months of negative total returns. Sustained inflation fears and the Federal Reserve’s plans to begin tapering asset purchases pushed interest rates higher. The Federal Reserve’s tone became increasingly more hawkish throughout the first half of the period. In November the municipal market halted its three month skid and posted its strongest month of the 2021 calendar year as the Omicron variant spread rapidly. Interest rates decreased on uncertainties of how another COVID variant could possibly impact the economy. COVID concerns eased a bit in December as the Omicron variant appeared to be more contagious though less severe than previous variants. The municipal market was relatively quiet, finishing the month with a slight positive return. As the new calendar year began the municipal market posted its worst month of total returns since March of 2020. COVID concerns continued to wane and inflation continued to rise at levels not seen in decades. Expectations of multiple rate hikes in calendar year 2022 became ever more likely and weighed heavily on bond prices.

 

Interest rates continued to rise in the second half of the fiscal year, leading to two consecutive quarters of negative returns to finish the fiscal year. Rising interest rates continued to weigh on the market as persistent rising inflation led to expectations of continued strong policy tightening by the Federal Reserve. Less favorable supply/demand dynamics also weighed on performance. For the fiscal year, the municipal market finished down 6.93% as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”). During the fiscal year, interest rates rose significantly throughout the curve. Shorter duration bonds outperformed longer duration bonds due to being less interest rate sensitive. Lower rated, investment grade (i.e. BBB) municipal bonds underperformed their higher rated counterparts during the period. Municipal issuance during the period totaled approximately $335.9 billion nationally, a 3.00% decrease from the preceding 12-month period.

 

Fund Performance

The Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana, and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota had total returns of -6.62%*, -7.74%*, -6.39%*, -7.88%*, -6.46%*, and -6.70%* for Class A Shares and -6.38%*, -7.52%*, -6.07%*, -7.64%*, -6.21%*, and -6.46%* for Class I Shares, respectively, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022. These compare to the Morningstar Muni Single State Intermediate Category which returned -6.22% for the period. The Funds’ returns also compare to the Index’s return of -6.93%. The Funds that underperformed the Index during the period had a higher duration than the Index. Additionally, the Index is unmanaged, incurs no expenses, and it is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

 

The current 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (municipals are exempt) combined with the high marginal tax rates at the federal and state levels boost the appeal of tax-exempt income. The federal marginal tax rate for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of $539,900 ($647,850 for married filing jointly) in 2022 is 37.0%. The after-tax yield of a 10-year U.S. Treasury Note yielding 2.62% falls to approximately 1.55% at the 37.0% federal tax rate plus the 3.8% Medicare surtax.

 

The Portfolio Management Team (“Team”) continues to be selective in our trades. We continue to seek high-quality bonds, with a focus on general obligation and essential-service bonds. Interest rates have rose significantly in 2022 as the Fed has taken a more hawkish approach to fiscal policy. In a rising interest rate environment, the Team looks to take the opportunity to swap bonds purchased when interest rates were at historic lows for bonds with similar characteristics (i.e. maturity, coupon, and rating) that offer higher yields.

 

Finally, we recommend that shareholders view their investment as long-term. 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 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 should consider each 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 each Fund invests in securities of a single state, the Funds are 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 each Fund’s dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable.

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 0.98% and 0.73%, respectively. The Fund’s investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses through November 29, 2022 so that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements (excluding taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 0.98% and 0.73%, respectively, of average daily net assets. This expense limitation agreement may only be terminated or modified prior to November 29, 2022 with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

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. The results prior to August 1, 2009 were achieved while the Fund was managed by a different investment adviser. The current investment adviser may produce different investment results than those achieved by the previous investment adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 six series (the “Funds”).

 

The Kansas Municipal Fund (“KS Muni Fund”), Maine Municipal Fund (“ME Muni Fund”), Nebraska Municipal Fund (“NE Muni Fund”), Oklahoma Municipal Fund (“OK Muni Fund”), Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana (“Tax-Free Fund for MT”), and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota (“Tax-Free Fund for ND”), seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and each Fund’s respective state income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. KS Muni Fund and OK Muni Fund are diversified Funds. ME Muni Fund, NE Muni Fund, Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax-Free Fund for ND are non-diversified Funds.

 

Each Fund in the Trust currently offers both Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of 2.50% and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class I shares are sold without sales charge or distribution fee. The two classes of shares represent interest in each Fund’s same portfolio of investments, have the same rights, and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.

 

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.

 

Each Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies.

 

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment security valuation—The Funds value their investments at fair value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by the Funds’ administrative services agent, 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; indications as to value from municipal bond market activity; 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.

 

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 values of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial 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 into the Funds of $500,000 or more, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be assessed on shares 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 July 31, 2022, 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 Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 


 

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, which include the current and prior three tax years, 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 into interest income using the effective yield method over the lives of the respective securities.

 

Cash and cash equivalents— The Funds consider investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.

 

Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the specific identification basis. 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 (“GAAP”).

 

Use of estimates—The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets 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.

 

Multiple class allocations—The Funds simultaneously use the settled shares method to allocate income and fund-wide expenses and use the relative net assets method to allocate gains and losses. Class-specific expenses, distribution fees, and any other items that are specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class.

 

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 the 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 July 31, 2022:

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 distributor; and IFS, 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 Fund’s average daily net assets. VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses for the Funds, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and acquired fund fees and expenses, until November 29, 2022 so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.98% and 0.73% for Class A and I, respectively. After November 29, 2022, the expense limitation 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. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

VFM is entitled to recoup such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three years from the date on which VFM waived fees or reimbursed expenses for each Fund. Each Fund will make repayments to the VFM only if such repayment does not cause the annual Fund operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both (1) the expense limitation in place when such amounts were waived and (2) the Fund’s current expense limitation. Amounts subject to recoupment and dates of expiration are as follows:

IFD serves as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds and receives sales charges deducted from Fund share sales proceeds and CDSC from applicable Fund share 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 their 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 for Class A shares. 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. The Funds may also invest in municipal securities of U.S. territories and possessions (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam). Each Fund is therefore more susceptible to political, economic, legislative, or regulatory factors adversely affecting issuers of municipal securities in its specific state or U.S. territories and possessions.

 

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 a Fund’s portfolio, the greater its interest rate risk.

 

NOTE 9: Subsequent Events

The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the issuance date of these financial statements and has noted no such events requiring disclosure.

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funcds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Viking Fund Management since 2009.

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

 

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.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (unaudited)

 

The Viking Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources. The Viking Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Viking Fund Management Inc. (“Viking”), as the administrator of the LRMP.

 

Viking manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis.

 

At a meeting held on May 8, 2022, Viking provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Viking concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Viking to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Funds are able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Funds. During the review period, the Funds' portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Funds reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Viking indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

 

 

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS (unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees (“Board”) of the Funds consists of four Trustees (the “Trustees”). These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as trustees for the six series of The Integrity Funds. Three Trustees are not “interested persons” (75% of the total) as defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”). The remaining Trustee is “interested” (the “Interested Trustees”) by virtue of his affiliation with Viking Fund Management, LLC and its affiliates.”

 

For the purposes of this section, the “Fund Complex” consists of the six series of The Integrity Funds and the six series of Viking Mutual Funds.

 

Each Trustee serves a Fund until its termination; or until the Trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the Funds’ organizational documents. Each Officer serves an annual term. The tables that follow show information for each Trustee and Officer of the Funds.
