TAX-FREE

TRUST

A tax-free income investment

Serving Hawaii Investors For More Than 25 Years   Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust   “Consistency”

November, 2010

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

When we created Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust 25 years ago, we started with a few simple goals as our building blocks.

· To create a tax-free product specifically designed for Hawaii residents, like you; whilerecognizing your need to preserve capital.

· To keep you well informed, while communicating with you in simple, straight-forward language -no jargon - financial or otherwise; and

· To treat you, our fellow shareholders, as we ourselves would like to be treated – like individuals,not just as account numbers.

Over the years, we have consistently sought ways to serve you better. As such, we have added various conveniences and features to your Trust in an effort to keep pace with your changing needs and expectations. At the same time, we have always kept our basic goals or building blocks in mind –the core of which is you, our shareholders.

     We have, therefore, never lost sight of the fact that it is:

- Your money,

- Invested in your Trust,

- Invested right here in projects in your communities.

And, we haven’t forgotten the strategy that we first formulated in an effort to make your Trust’s performance as consistent as possible:

· stick with high-quality investments,

· keep an intermediate maturity for the Trust’s portfolio,

· diversify investments around the state, and

· utilize the expertise of local talent – Trustees, Officers, and portfolio management.

NOT A PART OF THE SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

So, while change is inevitable, we firmly believe that we should never lose sight of our core building blocks. We believe our disciplined approach toward consistency has served you well over the years. And, we believe consistency will continue to serve us well over the future. After all consistency is what you expect from our management of your Trust.

Sincerely,

Lacy B. Herrmann Founder and Chairman Emeritus Diana P. Herrmann Vice Chair and President

Consideration should be given to the risks of investing, including: potential loss of value, market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and geographic concentration. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For certain investors, some dividends may be subject to Federal and state taxes, including the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (unaudited)

1. Organization

Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust (the “Trust”), a non-diversified, open-end investment company, was organized on May 7, 1984, as a Massachusetts business trust and commenced operations on February 20, 1985. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares and, from its inception to April 1, 1996, offered only one class of shares. On that date, the Trust began offering two additional classes of shares, Class C and Class Y Shares. All shares outstanding prior to that date were designated as Class A Shares and are sold at net asset value plus a sales charge (of varying size depending upon a variety of factors) paid at the time of purchase and bear a distribution fee. Class C Shares are sold at net asset value with no sales charge payable at the time of purchase but with a level charge for service and distribution fees for six years thereafter. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after six years. Class Y Shares are sold only through institutions acting for investors in a fiduciary, advisory, agency, custodial or similar capacity, and are not offered directly to retail customers. Class Y Shares are sold at net asset value with no sales charge, no redemption fee, no contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) and no distribution fee. On July 21, 1998, the Trust established Class I Shares, which are offered and sold only through financial intermediaries and are not offered directly to retail customers. Class I Shares are sold at net asset value with no sales charge and no redemption fee or CDSC, although a financial intermediary may charge a fee for effecting a purchase or other transaction on behalf of its customers. Class I Shares may carry a distribut ion and a service fee. As of the report date, there were no Class I Shares outstanding. All classes of shares represent interests in the same portfolio of investments and are identical as to rights and privileges but differ with respect to the effect of sales charges, the distribution and/or service fees borne by each class, expenses specific to each class, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and the exchange privileges of each class.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

a)      Portfolio valuation: Municipal securities which have remaining maturities of more than 60 days are valued each business day based upon information provided by a nationally prominent independent pricing service and periodically verified through other pricing services. In the case of securities for which market quotations are readily available, securities are valued by the pricing service at the mean of bid and asked quotations. If market quotations or a valuation from the pricing service is not readily available, the security is valued at fair value determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost if their te rm to maturity at purchase is 60 days or less, or by amortizing their unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their term to maturity at purchase exceeds 60 days.

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (unaudited)

b)	Fair Value Measurements: The Trust follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Trust’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Trust’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access.
	Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Trust’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
	The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
	The following is a summary of the valuation inputs, representing 100% of the Trust’s investments, used to value the Trust’s net assets as of September 30, 2010:

Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1 – Quoted Prices	$	–
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs –
Municipal Bonds*		815,988,429
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs		–
Total	$	815,988,429

	* See schedule of investments for a detailed listing of securities.
c)	Subsequent events: In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Trust’s financial statements.
d)	Securities transactions and related investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are reported on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of original issue discount and market discount.
e)	Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to certain investment companies. The Trust intends to make distributions of income and securities profits sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income and excise taxes.

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (unaudited)

	Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the open tax years (2007-2009) or expected to be taken in the Trust’s 2010 tax returns and has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements.
f)	Multiple class allocations: All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include distribution and service fees and any other items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are also charged directly to such class on a daily basis.
g)	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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
h)	Reclassification of capital accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. There were no reclassifications for the year ended March 31, 2010.
i)	Accounting pronouncement: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU”). The ASU requires enhanced disclosures about a) transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, and b) purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis relating to Level 3 measurements The first disclosure became effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. There were no significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 during the current period presented.
	The second disclosure will become effective for fiscal year ends beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact this disclosure may have on the Trust’s financial statements.

3. Fees and Related Party Transactions

a) Management Arrangements:

The Asset Management Group of Bank of Hawaii (the “Adviser”), serves as Investment Adviser to the Trust. In this role, under an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the Trust’s investments and provides various services to the Trust, for which it is entitled to receive a fee which is payable monthly and computed as of the close of business each day at the annual rate of 0.14% of the Trust’s net assets.

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (unaudited)

Aquila Investment Management LLC the (“Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aquila Management Corporation, the Trust’s founder and sponsor, serves as the Administrator for the Trust under an Administration Agreement with the Trust. Under this Agreement, the Administrator provides all administrative services to the Trust, other than those relating to the management of the Trust’s investments. These include providing the office of the Trust and all related services as well as overseeing the activities of all the various support organizations to the Trust such as the shareholder servicing agent, custodian, legal counsel, auditors and distributor. For its servi ces, the Administrator is entitled to receive a fee which is payable monthly and computed as of the close of business each day at the annual rate of 0.26% of the Trust’s net assets.

The Adviser and the Administrator each agree that the above fees shall be reduced, but not below zero, by an amount equal to its pro-rata portion (based on aggregate fees of the Adviser and the Administrator) of the amount, if any, by which the total expenses of the Trust in any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes, interest and brokerage fees, shall exceed the lesser of (i) 2.5% of the first $30 million of average annual net assets of the Trust plus 2% of the next $70 million of such assets and 1.5% of its average annual net assets in excess of $100 million, or (ii) 25% of the Trust’s total annual investment income. The payment of the above fees at the end of any month will be reduced or postponed so that at no time will there be any accrued but unpaid liability under this expense limitation. No such reduction in fees was required during the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Under a Compliance Agreement with the Administrator, the Administrator is additionally compensated for Chief Compliance Officer related services provided to enable the Trust to comply with Rule 38a-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Specific details as to the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser and the Administrator are more fully defined in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

b) Distribution and Service Fees:

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under one part of the Plan, with respect to Class A Shares, the Trust is authorized to make distribution fee payments to broker-dealers or others (“Qualified Recipients”) selected by Aquila Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), including, but not limited to, any principal underwriter of the Trust, with which the Distributor has entered into written agreements contemplated by the Rule and which have rendered assistance in the distribution and/or retention of the Trust’s shares or servicing of shareholder accounts. The Trust makes payment of this distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the Trust’s average net assets represented by Class A Shares. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, service fees on Class A Shares amounted to $721,286 of which the Distributor retained $33,207.

Under another part of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments with respect to Class C Shares to Qualified Recipients which have rendered assistance in the distribution and/or retention of the Trust’s Class C shares or servicing of shareholder accounts. These payments are made at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Trust’s average net assets represented by Class C Shares and for the six months

23

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (unaudited)

ended September 30, 2010, amounted to $213,454. In addition, under a Shareholder Services Plan, the Trust is authorized to make service fee payments with respect to Class C Shares to Qualified Recipients for providing personal services and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. These payments are made at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Trust’s average net assets represented by Class C Shares and for the six months ended September 30, 2010, amounted to $71,152. The total of these payments made with respect to Class C Shares amounted to $284,606 of which the Distributor retained $52,962.

Specific details about the Plans are more fully defined in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Under a Distribution Agreement, the Distributor serves as the exclusive distributor of the Trust’s shares. Through agreements between the Distributor and various brokerage and advisory firms (“intermediaries”), the Trust’s shares are sold primarily through the facilities of these intermediaries having offices within Hawaii, with the bulk of any sales commissions inuring to such intermediaries. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, total commissions on sales of Class A Shares amounted to $884,443, of which the Distributor received $78,564.

c) Other Related Party Transactions:

For the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Trust incurred $81,780 of legal fees allocable to Butzel Long PC, counsel to the Trust, for legal services in conjunction with the Trust’s ongoing operations. The Secretary of the Trust is Of Counsel to that firm.

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, purchases of securities and proceeds from the sales of securities aggregated $57,532,985, and $23,685,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2010, the aggregate tax cost for all securities was $771,887,312. At September 30, 2010, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost amounted to $44,252,860 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value amounted to $151,743 for a net unrealized appreciation of $44,101,117.

5. Portfolio Orientation

Since the Trust invests principally and may invest entirely in double tax-free municipal obligations of issuers within Hawaii, it is subject to possible risks associated with economic, political, or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting Hawaii and whatever effects these may have upon Hawaii issuers’ ability to meet their obligations.

6. Expenses

The Trust has negotiated an expense offset arrangement with its custodian wherein it receives credit toward the reduction of custodian fees and other Trust expenses whenever there are uninvested cash balances. The Statement of Operations reflects the total expenses before any offset, the amount of offset and the net expenses.

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (unaudited)

9. Securities Traded on a When-Issued Basis

The Trust may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis. When-issued transactions arise when securities are purchased or sold by the Trust with payment and delivery taking place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield to the Trust at the time of entering into the transaction. Beginning on the date the Trust enters into a when-issued transaction, cash or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal to or greater than the value of the when-issued transaction. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

10. Income Tax Information and Distributions

The Trust declares dividends daily from net investment income and makes payments monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually and are taxable. Dividends and capital gains distributions are paid in additional shares at the net asset value per share, in cash, or in a combination of both, at the shareholder’s option.

The Trust intends to maintain, to the maximum extent possible, the tax-exempt status of interest payments received from portfolio municipal securities in order to allow dividends paid to shareholders from net investment income to be exempt from regular Federal and State of Hawaii income taxes. However, due to differences between financial statement reporting and Federal income tax reporting requirements, distributions made by the Trust may not be the same as the Trust’s net investment income, and/or net realized securities gains. Further, a portion of the dividends and distributions may, under some circumstances, be subject to taxes at ordinary income and/or capital gain rates. For certain shareholders, some dividend income may, under some circumstances, be subject to the altern ative minimum tax. At March 31, 2010 the Trust had a capital loss carryover of $7,968,136, of which $2,273,607 expires in 2015, $1,251,412 expires in 2016, $1,198,556 expires in 2017 and $3,244,561 expires in 2018. This carryover is available to offset future net realized gains on securities transactions to the extent provided for in the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that this loss carryover is used to offset future realized capital gains, it is probable the gains so offset will not be distributed. At March 31, 2010 there were post-October capital loss deferrals of $66,369, which will be recognized in the following year.

The tax character of distributions:

	Year Ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Net tax-exempt income	$	23,808,866	$	25,982,787
Ordinary income		86,636		188,717

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (unaudited)

As of March 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation	$	28,927,111
Undistributed tax-exempt income		457,195
Other accumulated losses		(8,034,505	)
Other temporary differences		(457,195	)
	$	20,892,606

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to premium/discount adjustments. The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed income is due to the timing difference in recognizing dividends paid.

11. Ongoing Development

The three major rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch) have downgraded or eliminated ratings of the majority of the municipal bond insurance companies since December 2007 due to loss of capital from investments in subprime mortgages. As such, only a few are now deemed to be investment grade and several have had their ratings withdrawn by the rating agencies. Thus, while certain bonds still have insurance, some are no longer rated based upon the ratings of their insurers.

Analysis of Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Trust, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end sales charges with respect to Class A shares or contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) with respect to Class C shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Trust expenses. The table below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Trust and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The table below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on April 1, 2010 and held for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Actual Expenses

This table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”.

Six months ended September 30, 2010

	Actual
	Total Return	Beginning	Ending	Expenses
	Without	Account	Account	Paid During
	Sales Charges(1)	Value	Value	the Period(2)
Class A	3.54%	$1,000.00	$1,035.40	$3.78
Class C	3.03%	$1,000.00	$1,030.30	$7.84
Class Y	3.64%	$1,000.00	$1,036.40	$2.76

(1)	Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable sales charges with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) with respect to Class C shares. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year.
(2)	Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.74%, 1.54% and 0.54% for the Trust’s Class A, C and Y shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Analysis of Expenses (unaudited) (continued)

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the Trust’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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Trust and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Trust with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, with respect to Class A shares. The example does not reflect the deduction of contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) with respect to Class C shares. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Six months ended September 30, 2010
	Hypothetical
	Annualized	Beginning	Ending	Expenses
	Total	Account	Account	Paid During
	Return	Value	Value	the Period(1)
Class A	5.00%	$1,000.00	$1,021.36	$3.75
Class C	5.00%	$1,000.00	$1,017.35	$7.79
Class Y	5.00%	$1,000.00	$1,022.36	$2.74

(1)      Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.74%, 1.54% and 0.54% for the Trust’s Class A, C and Y shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Additional Information (unaudited)

Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement

Renewal until June 30, 2011 of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and the Adviser was approved by the Board of Trustees and the independent Trustees in June, 2010. At a meeting called and held for the foregoing purpose at which a majority of the independent Trustees were present in person, the following materials were considered:

· Copies of the agreements to be renewed;

· A term sheet describing the material terms of the agreements;

· The Annual Report of the Trust for the year ended March 31, 2010;

· A report, prepared by the Adviser and Administrator and provided to the Trustees for theTrustees’ review, containing data about the performance of the Trust, data about its fees,expenses and purchases and redemptions of its shares together with comparisons of such datawith similar data about other comparable funds, as well as data as to the profitability of theAdviser and the Administrator; and

· Quarterly materials reviewed at prior meetings on the Trust's performance, operations,portfolio and compliance.

     The Trustees reviewed materials relevant to, and considered, the following factors:

The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser.

The Adviser has employed Mr. Stephen K. Rodgers as portfolio manager for the Trust and has provided facilities for credit analysis of the Trust’s portfolio securities. Mr. Rodgers, based in Honolulu, has provided local information regarding specific holdings in the Trust’s portfolio. The portfolio manager has also been available to and has met with the brokerage and financial planner community and with investors and prospective investors to provide them with information generally about the Trust’s portfolio, with which to assess the Trust as an investment vehicle for residents of Hawaii in light of prevailing interest rates and local economic conditions. In addition, he h as been present at all regular meetings of the Board and Shareholders.

The Board considered that the Adviser had provided all services the Board deemed necessary or appropriate, including the specific services that the Board has determined are required for the Trust, given that its purpose is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from Hawaii state and regular Federal income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.

The Board concluded that the services provided were appropriate and satisfactory and that the Trust would be well served if they continued. Evaluation of this factor weighed in favor of renewal of the Advisory Agreement.

The investment performance of the Trust and Adviser.

The Board reviewed each aspect of the Trust’s performance and compared its performance with that of 1) its local competitors, 2) its peer group (i.e., Morningstar single-state intermediate tax-free municipal bond funds nationwide) and 3) a benchmark index. It was noted that the materials

33

provided by the Adviser indicated that the Trust had investment performance that was generally lower compared to that of its local competition and peer group for the one-year period, but generally comparable in performance for the three-, five- and ten-year periods. Furthermore, the Trustees noted that the Trust’s net asset value generally fluctuated modestly compared to the three competitive Hawaii funds over the past one-, three- and five- year periods. The Board considered these results to be consistent with the purposes of the Trust.

The Board concluded that the performance of the Trust was good, in light of market conditions, the length of its average maturities, its investment objectives and its long-standing emphasis on minimizing risk. Evaluation of this factor indicated to the Trustees that renewal of the Advisory Agreement would be appropriate.

The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust.

The information provided contained expense data for the Trust and its local competitors as well as data for its Morningstar peer group, including data for such front-end load funds of a comparable asset size. The materials also showed the profitability to the Adviser of its services to the Trust.

The Board compared the expense and fee data with respect to the Trust to similar data about other funds that it found to be relevant. The Board concluded that the expenses of the Trust and the fees paid were similar to and were reasonable as compared to those being paid by single-state tax-free municipal bond funds nationwide, and by the Trust’s local competitors.

The Board further concluded that the profitability to the Adviser did not argue against approval of the fees to be paid under the Advisory Agreement.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Trust grows.

Data provided to the Trustees showed that the Trust’s asset size had increased after several years of general decline. The Trustees also noted that the materials indicated that the Trust’s fees were already generally lower than those of its peers, including those with breakpoints. Evaluation of this factor indicated to the Board that the Advisory Agreement should be renewed without addition of breakpoints at this time.

Benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust.

The Board observed that, as is generally true of most fund complexes, the Adviser and its affiliates, by providing services to a number of funds or other investment clients including the Trust, were able to spread costs as they would otherwise be unable to do. The Board noted that while that produces efficiencies and increased profitability for the Adviser and its affiliates, it also makes their services available to the Trust at favorable levels of quality and cost which are more advantageous to the Trust than would otherwise have been possible.
