Aquila Tax-Free Trust
of Arizona
 “Asset Allocation - A Strategy
 For All Seasons”
 Serving Arizona investors for over 25 years

November, 2013

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

As many of our shareholders are aware, interest rates and the price of bonds (and, in turn, the share price of bond funds) are inversely related. Hence, as interest rates decline, the share price of the bond funds in the Aquila Group generally increases. And, as interest rates increase, the funds’ share price declines. This is an almost inevitable dynamic of the economic cycle. And, since your investment in one of the Aquila bond funds should be viewed as long-term in nature, you are likely to experience both the ups and downs of investing.

While we cannot control the direction in which interest rates will move, or the resulting effect such changes will have on your Trust’s share price, we do take steps that attempt to minimize the volatility of such movement. We believe that having your Trust’s portfolio constructed of high-quality securities, together with both short and long-term maturities (to gain stability from the shorter-term maturities and higher yields from the longer-term maturities), will hopefully help to lessen the fluctuations in the overall performance of your investment in the Trust. Thus, we seek to minimize the volatility of share price movements over the life of your investment – making the ups and downs less dramatic than with other types of investments.

While fluctuation in share price over the life of your investment is inevitable, we believe you will be in a better overall position to weather any particular economic situation if your portfolio is built with a strong foundation. In short, is your portfolio properly allocated based on your specific needs?

As you may know, asset allocation is an investment strategy that strives to balance risk and reward by diversifying assets according to your specific desires. These include:

• investment time horizon (specifically your age and retirement objectives);

• risk threshold (how much of your investment capital you are willing to potentially lose during a given time frame);

• financial situation (your wealth, income, expenses, tax bracket, liquidity needs, etc.); and

• goals (the financial goals you and your family want to achieve).

Since the three main asset classes - equities, fixed-income, and cash/cash equivalents - have different levels of risk and return, each is expected to behave differently over time. The objective of asset allocation is to create a diversified portfolio with an acceptable level of risk and the highest possible return given that level of risk.

NOT A PART OF THE SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

Although there is no simple formula that can identify the right asset allocation for every individual, the consensus among most financial professionals is that asset allocation is one of the most important decisions that investors make.

The way you allocate your investment portfolio across exposure to stocks, fixed-income, and cash/cash equivalents will be the principal determinants of your investment results – secondary to your selection of individual securities.

Once you and your financial professional have developed an appropriate asset allocation for your portfolio, we believe that changes should be made based on need, not on headlines.

A properly constructed portfolio with sound asset allocation should be in a good position to weather all seasons.

Sincerely, Diana P. Herrmann, 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 Minumum Tax (AMT).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (unaudited)

1. Organization

Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Arizona (the “Trust”) (from inception until the close of business on October 11, 2013, the Trust operated under the name Tax-Free Trust of Arizona), a non-diversified, open-end investment company, was organized on October 17, 1985, as a Massachusetts business trust and commenced operations on March 13, 1986. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Class A Shares 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 authorized financial 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. Class I Shares 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 carry a distribution 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. On December 1, 2012, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the Trust’s fiscal and tax year end from June to March.

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 a market quotation 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 generally valued at amortized cost if their term 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.

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:

AQUILA TAX-FREE TRUST OF ARIZONA

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (unaudited)

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, 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, 2013:

Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1 – Quoted Prices	$	—
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable
Inputs — Municipal Bonds*		263,506,867
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs		—
Total	$	263,506,867

* 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.

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 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.

Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the open tax years (2010-2012) or expected to be taken in the Trust’s 2013 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. On March 31, 2013, the Trust decreased undistributed net investment income by $23,251 and increased additional paid-in capital by $23,251. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

3. Fees and Related Party Transactions

a) Management Arrangements:

Aquila Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aquila Management Corporation, the Trust’s founder and sponsor, serves as the Manager for the Trust under an Advisory and Administration Agreement with the Trust. Under the Advisory and Administration Agreement, the Manager provides all investment management and administrative services to the Trust. The Manager’s services include providing the office of the Trust and all related services as well as managing relationships with all the various support organizations to the Trust such as the shareholder servicing agent, custodian, legal counsel, auditors and distributor. For its services, the Manager 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 0.40 of 1% on the Trust’s net assets.

Under a Compliance Agreement with the Manager, the Manager is compensated by the Trust 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 Manager 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 0.15% of the Trust’s average net assets represented by Class A Shares. For the six months ended September 30, 2013, distribution fees on Class A Shares amounted to $187,851, of which the Distributor retained $10,403.

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 ended September 30, 2013, amounted to $78,444. 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, 2013, these payments amounted to $26,148. The total of these payments with respect to Class C Shares amounted to $104,592, of which the Distributor retained $24,366.

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 Arizona, with the bulk of any sales commissions inuring to such intermediaries. For the six months ended September 30, 2013, total commissions on sales of Class A Shares amounted to $73,374, of which the Distributor received $15,194.

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, purchases of securities and proceeds from the sales of securities aggregated $16,897,965 and $46,045,729, respectively.

At September 30, 2013, the aggregate tax cost for all securities was $252,285,636. At September 30, 2013, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost amounted to $13,662,097 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value amounted to $2,440,866 for a net unrealized appreciation of $11,221,231.

5. Portfolio Orientation

Since the Trust invests principally and may invest entirely in double tax-free municipal obligations of issuers within Arizona, it is subject to possible risks associated with economic, political, or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting Arizona and whatever effects these may have upon Arizona issuers’ ability to meet their obligations. The Trust is also permitted to invest in U.S. territorial municipal obligations meeting comparable quality standards and providing income which is exempt from both regular Federal and Arizona income taxes. The general policy of the Trust is to invest in such securities only when comparable securities of Arizona issuers are not available in the market. At September 30, 2013, the Trust held 100% of its net assets invested in Arizona.

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.

8. Trustees’ Fees and Expenses

At September 30, 2013 there were 13 Trustees, one of whom is affiliated with the Manager and is not paid any fees. The total amount of Trustees’ service fees (for carrying out their responsibilities) and attendance fees paid during the six months ended September 30, 2013 was $41,736. Attendance fees are paid to those in attendance at regularly scheduled quarterly Board Meetings and meetings of the Independent Trustees held prior to each quarterly Board Meeting, as well as additional meetings (such as Audit, Nominating, Shareholder and special meetings). Trustees are reimbursed for their expenses such as travel, accommodations and meals incurred in connection with attendance at Board Meetings and the Annual and Outreach Meetings of Shareholders. For the six months ended September 30, 2013, such meeting-related expenses amounted to $6,443.

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. These 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 Arizona income taxes. 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 small portion of the dividends may, under some circumstances, be subject to taxes at ordinary income rates. For certain shareholders, some dividend income may, under some circumstances, be subject to the alternative minimum tax. As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Act of 2010 (“the Act”), losses incurred in this fiscal year and beyond retain their character as short-term or long-term, have no expiration date and are utilized before capital losses incurred prior to the enactment of the Act.

	$	8,030,247	$	11,010,731	$	12,295,395

As of March 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$	140,184
Accumulated net realized gain on investments		209,566
Unrealized appreciation		24,168,635
Other temporary differences		(140,184	)
	$	24,378,201

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation and undistributed income is due to the timing difference in recognizing dividends paid and the amortization of discount securities.

11. Ongoing Development

Beginning in December 2007, the three major credit rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch) downgraded or eliminated ratings of the municipal bond insurance companies due to loss of capital from investments in subprime mortgages. Only a few insurers are now deemed to be investment grade. Thus, while certain bonds have insurance, some are no longer rated based upon the ratings of their insurers. Furthermore, because the ability of many of the Trust’s insurers to pay claims has been downgraded, the protection of such insurance has been diminished, and there is no assurance that some of them may be relied upon for payment.

12. Subsequent Event

At the close of business on October 11, 2013, the Trust began to operate under the name Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Arizona and under an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Revised Fundamental Investment Policies. The Trust’s investment objective, principal investment policies, and investment management team remain unchanged.

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, 2013 and held for the six months ended September 30, 2013.

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 “Expenses Paid During the Period”.

Six months ended September 30, 2013

	Actual
	Total Return	Beginning	Ending	Expenses
	Without	Account	Account	Paid During
	Sales Charges(1)	Value	Value	the Period(2)
Class A	(2.67)%	$1,000.00	$973.30	$3.76
Class C	(3.09)%	$1,000.00	$969.10	$7.95
Class Y	(2.60)%	$1,000.00	$974.00	$3.02

(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 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 0.76%, 1.61% and 0.61% 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 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, 2013

	Hypothetical
	Annualized	Beginning	Ending	Expenses
	Total	Account	Account	Paid During
	Return	Value	Value	the Period(1)

Class Y	5.00%	$1,000.00	$1,022.01	$3.09

(1) Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.76%, 1.61% and 0.61% 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 Advisory and Administration Agreement

Aquila Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”) serves as the investment adviser to the Trust pursuant to an Advisory and Administration Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). In order for the Manager to remain the investment adviser of the Trust, the Trustees of the Trust must determine annually whether to renew the Advisory Agreement for the Trust.

In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested and obtained such information as they deemed reasonably necessary. Contract review materials were provided to the Trustees in May, June and August 2013. The independent Trustees met telephonically in August, 2013 to review and discuss the contract review materials. The Trustees considered, among other things, information presented by the Manager. They also considered information presented in a report prepared by an independent consultant with respect to the Trust’s fees, expenses and investment performance, which included comparisons of the Trust’s investment performance against peers and the Trust’s benchmark and comparisons of the advisory fee payable under the Advisory Agreement against the advisory fees paid by the Trust’s peers, as well as information regarding the operating margins of certain investment advisory firms (the “Consultant’s Report”). In addition, the Trustees took into account the information related to the Trust provided to the Trustees at each regularly scheduled meeting.

At a meeting held in September, 2013, based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Manager and the independent consultant, the Trustees of the Trust, including the independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement until September 30, 2014. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in determining to approve the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.

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

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by the Manager to the Trust, taking into account the investment objectives and strategies of the Trust. The Trustees reviewed the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees reviewed the Manager’s investment approach for the Trust and its research process. The Trustees considered that the Manager had provided all advisory and administrative services to the Trust that the Trustees deemed necessary or appropriate, including the specific services that the Trustees have determined are required for the Trust, given that it seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from Arizona state and regular Federal income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. The Trustees considered the personnel of the Manager who provide investment management services to the Trust. The Manager has employed Mr. Todd Curtis as portfolio manager for the Trust and has established facilities and capabilities for credit analysis of the Trust’s portfolio securities. The Trustees noted the extensive experience of the portfolio manager. They considered that Mr. Curtis is based in Phoenix, Arizona and that he has a comprehensive understanding regarding the economy of the State of Arizona and the securities in which the Trust invests, including those securities with less than the highest ratings from the rating agencies.

34 | Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Arizona

The Manager has additionally provided all administrative services to the Trust and provided the Trust with personnel (including Trust officers) and other resources that are necessary for the Trust’s business management and operations. The Trustees considered the nature and extent of the Manager’s supervision of third-party service providers, including the Trust’s shareholder servicing agent and custodian.

Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that had been provided by the Manager to the Trust were satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

The investment performance of the Trust.

The Trustees reviewed the Trust’s performance and compared its performance to that of the funds in its product category (Morningstar Single-State Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds), funds in its peer group (Morningstar Single-State Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds that are similar to the Trust in size and investment style and that charge a front-end sales charge), and its benchmark index, the Barclays Capital Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Index. The Trustees considered that the materials included in the Consultant’s Report indicated that the Trust’s average annual total return was less than the average annual total return of the funds in its peer group for the one, three, five and ten year periods ended March 31, 2013. However, the Trustees considered that, as reflected in the Consultant’s Report, the Trust’s average annual total return was better than the average annual total return of the funds in its product category for the one, three, five and ten year periods ended March 31, 2013, as well as the benchmark index, for each of the one, three and five year periods ended March 31, 2013. The Trustees considered that, as reflected in the Consultant’s Report, the Trust delivered above-average results on a risk-adjusted basis for the three and five year periods ended March 31, 2013 (as evidenced by its Sharpe ratio) when compared to the funds in its product category.

The Trustees discussed the Trust’s performance record with the Manager and considered the Manager’s view that the Trust’s performance, as compared to its product category and peer group, was explained in part by the Trust’s somewhat higher-quality portfolio and its historical intermediate maturity structure. The Trustees noted that, unlike the Trust’s returns, the performance of the benchmark index did not reflect any fees or expenses. The Trustees considered the Trust’s investment performance to be consistent with the investment objectives of the Trust.

The Trustees concluded that the performance of the Trust was acceptable, in light of market conditions, the length of its average maturities and its investment objectives. Evaluation of the investment performance of the Trust indicated to the Trustees that renewal of the Advisory Agreement would be appropriate.

Advisory Fees and Trust Expenses.

The information provided in the Consultant’s Report contained advisory fee and expense data for the Trust, for funds in its product category for expenses (Morningstar Single-State Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds with similar operating structures), as well as data for the funds in the Trust’s peer group (Morningstar Single-State Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds that are similar to the Trust in size and investment style and that charge a front-end sales charge).

35 | Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Arizona

The Trustees compared the advisory fee and expense data with respect to the Trust to similar data for the funds in its product category and peer group. The Trustees considered that the Trust’s contractual advisory fee was lower than the average contractual advisory fee of the funds in its peer group (at the Trust’s current asset level) and lower than the asset-weighted average contractual advisory fee of the funds in its product category (at various asset levels). They also noted that the Trust’s expenses were less than the average actual expenses of the funds in both the product category and peer group.

The Trustees reviewed management fees charged by the Manager to its other clients. It was noted that the Manager does not have any other clients except for other funds in the Aquila Group of Funds. The Trustees noted that, in most instances, the fee rates for those clients were comparable to the fees paid to the Manager with respect to the Trust. In evaluating the fees associated with the other funds, the Trustees took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Trust and those funds.

The Trustees concluded that the advisory fee and expenses of the Trust were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager to the Trust.

Profitability

The Manager provided materials which showed the profitability to the Manager and to Aquila Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) of its services to the Trust.

The Trustees considered information provided by the Manager regarding the profitability of the Manager with respect to the advisory services provided by the Manager to the Trust, including the methodology used by the Manager in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Trust. The Trustees concluded that profitability to the Manager with respect to the advisory services provided to the Trust 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.

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Manager may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing the Trust. Data provided to the Trustees showed that the Trust’s asset size had moderately increased during the past fiscal year. It was noted that as assets increase certain fixed costs may be spread across a larger asset base, and it was noted that any economies of scale or other efficiencies might be realized (if at all) across a variety of products and services and not only in respect of the Trust. The Trustees considered that the materials indicated that the Trust’s fees are already generally lower than those of its peers, including those with breakpoints. The Trustees noted that the Manager’s profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale. Accordingly, the Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, were being appropriately shared with the Trust.

Benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager and its affiliate from the relationship with the Trust.

The Trustees observed that, as is generally true of most fund complexes, the Manager and its affiliate, by providing services to a number of funds including the Trust, were able to spread costs as they would otherwise be unable to do. The Trustees noted that while that produces efficiencies and increased profitability for the Manager and its affiliate, 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.
