OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
The objective of the Tax-Free Income Fund is to provide a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital, by investing primarily in investment-grade municipal securities.
Such municipal securities generate interest income that is exempt from both federal regular income tax and federal alternative minimum tax. During normal market conditions, the Fund invests 100% of its net assets in such tax-exempt municipal securities.

Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund
|
OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
The investment objective of the Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Minnesota regular personal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.
During normal market conditions, the Fund invests 100% of its net assets in municipal securities that generate interest income that is exempt from federal regular income tax and Minnesota regular personal income tax. The Fund anticipates that substantially all of its distributions to its shareholders will be exempt as such. For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), up to 20% of the Funds income may be alternative minimum taxable income.

Year Ended March 31, 2015
(1) | Organization |
The Sit Mutual Funds (the Funds) are no-load funds, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as diversified (except Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund which is non-diversified), open-end management investment companies, or series thereof. The Sit Quality Income Fund, Sit Tax-Free Income Fund and Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund are series funds of Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc. Each fund has 10 billion authorized shares of capital stock. Shares in the U.S. Government Securities Fund have a par value of $0.01, and shares in other funds have a par value of $0.001. This report covers the bond funds of the Sit Mutual Funds.
The investment objective for each of these Funds is as follows:
Fund | Investment Objective | |
U.S. Government Securities |
High level of current income and safety of principal. | |
Quality Income Fund |
High level of current income and safety of principal. | |
Tax-Free Income |
High level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent | |
with the preservation of capital. | ||
Minnesota Tax-Free Income |
High level of current income that is exempt from federal regular income tax and Minnesota regular personal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital. |
(2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Investments in Securities
Investment securities are carried at fair value based upon closing market quotations on the last business day of the period. Investments in securities traded on national or international securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price prior to the time when assets are valued. Securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price or if the last sales price is not available, at the last reported bid price. The sale and bid prices or prices deemed best to reflect fair value quoted by dealers who make markets in these securities are obtained from independent pricing services. Consistent with the Funds valuation policies and procedures, the current fair value of certain fixed income securities is provided by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from broker-dealers or quotation systems. Securities for which market quotations are not available, such as private placement securities, are valued at fair value according to methods selected in good faith by Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (the Adviser) and may include dealer-supplied valuations or other inputs and assumptions that pricing services would typically utilize. Short-term investments of sufficient credit quality with maturities of 60 days or less when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Option and future contracts entered into and held by the Funds are valued at the close of the securities and commodities exchange on which they are traded.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Gains and losses are calculated on the identified-cost basis. Interest, including level-yield amortization of long-term bond premium and discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends received from closed-end fund holdings are included in Dividend Income and distributions from capital gains, if any, are included in Net Realized Gain (Loss).
Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased by the Funds on a forward commitment or when-issued basis can take place two weeks or more after the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations and may increase or decrease in value prior to delivery.
The Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund concentrates its investments in Minnesota, and therefore may have more credit risk related to the economic conditions in the state of Minnesota than a portfolio with broader geographical diversification.

Derivative Instruments
The Funds apply derivative instrument disclosure standards in order to enable investors to understand how and why the Funds use derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect the Funds financial statements.
To hedge interest rate risk, the U.S. Government Securities Fund purchased put options and wrote call option contracts traded on a U.S. exchange. To hedge interest rate risk, the Quality Income Fund purchased put options, entered into futures contracts and wrote call options on these future contracts traded on a U.S. exchange. Risks of entering into futures contracts and purchasing and writing options include the possibility of an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
The premiums paid for the options represent the cost of the investment and the options are valued daily at their closing price. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the option is sold or expired. Option holdings within the Funds, which may include put options and call options, are subject to loss of value with the passage of time, and may experience a total loss of value upon expiration. With options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since they are exchange traded.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Quality Income Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expired. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
During the year ended March 31, 2015, the average volume of derivative activity was as follows:

Fair Value Measurements
The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds net assets are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. |
| Level 2 debt securities are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, U.S. government and government agency obligations, and municipal securities the pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as dealer supplied prices. For asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, the pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as dealer supplied prices. All of these inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement. |
| Level 3 significant unobservable inputs, including the Advisers own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The fair value of the Funds bonds are generally based on quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.
At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities.
A summary of the levels for the Funds investments as of March 31, 2015 is included with the Funds schedules of investments.
Federal Taxes
The Funds policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. The Funds have recorded in their financial statements the full benefit of their tax positions taken in connection with the Registered Investment Company (RIC) qualification and distribution requirements of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended March 31, 2015 (Continued)
Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no income tax provision is required. Also, in order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Funds will distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized gains on a calendar year basis.
Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken in federal tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2015, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds financial statements. The Funds federal and state income and federal excise returns for the 2012, 2013, and 2014 tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
At March 31, 2015, the gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and cost of securities on a tax basis for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

These differences were primarily attributable to market discount accretion adjustments and capital loss carryovers expiring.
Net capital loss carryovers and late year losses, if any, as of March 31, 2015, are available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (Act), the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to any losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, and will not be considered exclusively short-term as under previous law.
The Funds first fiscal year end subject to the Modernization Act was March 31, 2012. The net capital loss carryovers and the expiration dates for capital losses carryover from pre-enactment taxable years and the late year losses deferred as of March 31, 2015, were as follows:

Distributions
Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the close of business on the record date. Such distributions are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Funds capital stock. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the Funds. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, will be made annually for each of the Funds.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain 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 results for the respective periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under each Funds organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to each Fund. In addition, certain of each Funds contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. Each Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against each Fund cannot be determined and each Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
At their joint meeting held on October 24, 2014, the Boards of Directors of the Sit Mutual Funds unanimously approved the continuation for another one year period the investment management agreements entered into by and between Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (SIA) and Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc. dated November 1, 1992; and Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. dated November 1, 1992 (the Agreements).
The Boards approved the Agreements after a lengthy discussion and consideration of various factors relating to both the Boards selection of SIA as the investment adviser and the Boards approval of the fees to be paid under the Agreements.
Investment Adviser Criteria. The Directors began their analysis by discussing their criteria for determining the quality of an investment adviser. The Directors noted that their analysis is similar to that used by institutional investors in evaluating and selecting investment advisers. The Directors discussed several factors used to determine the overall quality of an investment adviser and the nature, extent and quality of the services performed by SIA, including the following:
Investment Philosophy and Process. The Directors considered SIAs philosophy of managing assets. With respect to fixed income securities, SIA stresses the consistent attainment of superior risk-adjusted returns using a conservative investment management approach that identifies pricing anomalies in the market and management of portfolio duration.
With respect to fixed income securities, SIA seeks investment grade securities with a special emphasis on interest income and significant stability of principal value. SIAs style seeks to avoid excessive return volatility and generate consistent results over an economic cycle. The Directors noted that the Bond Funds objectives are to seek high current income. The Directors reviewed the Bond Funds characteristics, and noted that SIA has consistently managed the Bond Funds in this style. The Directors noted that since the Bond Funds emphasize income, they may at times not rank highly in total return comparisons with other funds during certain periods.
The Directors discussed SIAs consistent and well-defined investment process. With respect to fixed income securities, the portfolio managers are responsible for implementing the strategy set forth in the Chief Fixed Income Officers duration targets and the Chief Investment Officers interest rate projections.
Investment Professionals. The Directors discussed the experience, knowledge and organizational stability of SIA and its investment professionals. The Directors noted that SIAs senior professionals are actively involved in the investment process and have significant investment industry experience.

The Directors discussed the depth of SIAs investment staff. The Directors noted that SIA has over 30 investment professionals. Given the investment products offered by SIA and the assets under management, the Directors determined that SIAs investment staff is well positioned to meet the current needs of its clients, including the Funds, and to accommodate growth in the number of clients and assets under management for the near future. The Directors concluded that the depth of the investment staff, and in particular senior management and investment analysts, is actually greater than the Funds currently require at their present asset size. The Directors noted that SIA has the resources of a $14.35 billion investment firm working for the benefit of the Fund shareholders.
Investment Performance. The Directors reviewed and discussed the Funds investment performance on an absolute and comparable basis for various periods as discussed below. The Directors noted that the investment performance of the Funds has generally been competitive with indices and other funds with similar investment styles as the Funds, such as fixed income funds seeking to maximize income.
Corporate Culture. The Directors discussed SIAs corporate values to operate under the highest ethical and professional standards. SIAs culture is set and practiced by senior management who insist that all professionals exhibit honesty and integrity. The Board noted that the firms values are evident in all of the services provided to the Funds.
Review of Specific Factors. The Directors continued their analysis by reviewing specific information on SIA and the Funds and specific terms of the Agreements, including the following.
Investment Performance. The Directors reviewed investment performance of each Fund for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, year-to-date, 1 year, 5 years (as applicable), 10 years (as applicable) and since inception, both on an absolute basis and on a comparative basis to indices and mutual funds within the same investment categories. As noted above, the Directors concluded that the investment performance of the Funds has been competitive in relation to their stated objectives and strategies on a comparable basis with funds with similar objectives and strategies.
Fees and Expenses. The Directors noted that the Funds pay SIA a monthly fee and SIA is responsible for all of the Funds expenses except interest, brokerage commissions and transaction charges and certain extraordinary expenses. The Directors reviewed fees paid in prior years and the fees to be paid under the Agreements.
The Directors compared each Funds expense ratio to the average and median expense ratios of no-load mutual funds within the same Morningstar, Inc. investment category, the average expense ratios for load funds within the Morningstar category, and the average expense ratios for all funds within the Morningstar category. Certain of the Funds expense ratios were higher than the averages, and certain of the Funds expense ratios were lower than the averages. The Directors noted that the Morningstar no-load categories include funds of various asset sizes, some of which are significantly larger in assets than the Funds. The Directors found that each Funds total expense ratio to be within an acceptable range compared to the total expense ratios of other no- load funds within the Funds Morningstar category. The Directors concluded that the fees paid by the Funds are reasonable and appropriate.
The Directors reviewed the extent to which the fees to be paid under the Agreements by each Fund may be affected by an increase in the Funds assets, which included reviewing each Funds current and historical assets and the likelihood and magnitude of future increases in the Funds assets. The Directors agreed that it is appropriate that the Funds benefit from improved economies of scale as the Funds assets increase. However, the Directors concluded that given the amount of the Funds current assets and the likelihood and magnitude of future increases in the Funds assets, negotiating a graduated fee structure is unnecessary at this time since the fees to be paid under the current Agreements are reasonable and appropriate.
The Directors reviewed the expenses paid by SIA relating to the operations of the Funds, and SIAs income with respect to the management of the Funds for the past two calendar years. The Directors concluded that the expenses paid were appropriate.
The Directors reviewed SIAs investment advisory fee schedule for investment management services provided to other clients. The Directors compared the services provided to the Funds and other clients of SIA, and recognized that the Funds expenses are borne by SIA. The Directors concluded that the fees paid by the Funds in relation to the fees paid by other SIA clients were appropriate and reasonable. The Directors also concluded that SIAs profit margin with respect to the management of the Funds was appropriate.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Directors discussed the extent to which SIA receives benefits from the relationship with the Funds such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research services to SIA as a result of brokerage generated by the Funds. The Board concluded that any benefits SIA receives from its relationship with the Funds are well within industry norms and are reflected in the amount of the fees paid by the Funds to SIA and are appropriate and reasonable.
Non-Advisory Services. The Directors considered the quality of non-advisory services which SIA provides to the Funds (and their shareholders) and the quality and depth of SIAs non-investment personnel who provide such services. Directors concluded that the level of such services and the quality and depth of such personnel are consistent with industry standards.
Finally, the Directors considered the compliance staff and the regulatory history of SIA and the Funds, and concluded that both are consistent with industry standards.
Based on these conclusions, without any single conclusion being dispositive, the Directors determined that renewal of the Agreements was in the interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrants annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrants financial statements, and/or are traditionally performed by the auditor. Tax fees include amounts related to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.
(e) (1) The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed for the registrant by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors independence. The audit committee also is required to pre-approve certain non-audit services performed by the registrants independent auditor for the registrants investment adviser and certain of the advisers affiliates if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. Services to be provided by the auditor must receive general pre-approval or specific pre-approval by the audit committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require separate pre-approval by the audit committee.
The audit committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the audit committee chairman. The chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. The audit committee does not delegate its responsibility to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.
(2) | No services included in (b) (d) were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
(f) | Not applicable. |
(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrants principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $0 and $0 respectively.
(h) The registrants audit committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services rendered to the registrants investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is considered compatible with maintaining the principal accountants independence.

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.
