TAX-FREE TRUST OF OREGON

A tax-free income investment

Serving Oregon Investors For More Than 25 Years   Tax-Free Trust of Oregon “Experience, Procedures and Review”

November, 2011

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

The Management of Tax-Free Trust of Oregon has been privileged to serve you and our other shareholders since the Trust’s inception in 1986 – more than 25 years ago.

One of the benefits of being in existence so long is that we have experienced a number of up and down economic cycles and endured a variety of changes and challenges. In short, we have generally “seen it all before.” Back in 1993, we produced a “Thought for the Month” entitled “The Sky is Falling!” It was intended to calm any fears that our then shareholders might have had as a result of newspaper and magazine articles which were predicting that the municipal bond market was about to crumble.

Here we are 18 years later and similar articles have been appearing once again in both the financial and local press. While the facts and circumstances may be somewhat different, we believe that what we said back in 1993 still holds true for us today.

Certainly there is a degree of risk with virtually everything in life. However, we do not believe that “the sky is falling.” Furthermore, all of us associated with Tax-Free Trust of Oregon take very deliberate steps each and every day in pursuit of your Trust’s objective of seeking to provide you with as high a level of double tax-free income as is consistent with preservation of capital.

The following are among those deliberate steps we take each day in managing your Trust:

· In line with Tax-Free Trust of Oregon’s prospectus, we may only purchase investment gradesecurities – securities rated within the four highest credit ratings assigned by nationallyrecognized statistical rating organizations - or if unrated, determined by your investmentteam to be of comparable quality. In addition to credit characteristics, we also look at anissue’s maturity and sector (in order to enhance diversification and meet other requirementsidentified by your portfolio management team).

· We invest in an issue based on our initial research. Then we monitor the ongoing financialcondition of the issuer. This may include speaking to financial officers affiliated with theissuer, reviewing economic changes impacting the issuer, and reviewing the issuer’sfinancial reports. The importance of knowing what we own is heightened during periodsof market volatility.

NOT A PART OF THE ANNUAL REPORT

The research conducted prior to investing in a bond, and ongoing credit monitoring, make it possible to evaluate potential risks associated with an individual bond and the adequacy of the compensation provided for that risk. Simply put, we seek to evaluate whether, as a bond investor, the Trust is adequately compensated for the risk associated with lending to a particular issuer.

· We use a nationally prominent independent pricing service to price each and every singleone of your Trust’s portfolio holdings on a daily basis.

In an effort to test the accuracy of our pricing, we regularly compare and confirm prices ofour portfolio securities with a second pricing service.

· We continually seek to ensure that Tax-Free Trust of Oregon’s net assets are invested inliquid securities.

· And, your Trust’s portfolio holdings are published regularly. A detailed report is availablequarterly, while your Trust’s five largest portfolio holdings are listed as of each month-end.

This information may be found on our website at www.aquilafunds.com.

We believe that following these various policies and procedures have served you and our other shareholders well over the past 25 years.

And, you can rest assured that we regularly review and seek to enhance them as and when we believe appropriate.

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.

2010-11 Review

The United States government came to within hours of defaulting, certain municipal governments now have higher credit ratings than the Federal government and the Federal Open Market Committee reintroduced monetary policy from the 1960’s named after a Chubby Checker song. While all of these items are ripe fodder for a media circus, the most exaggerated story of the past year has been from a banking analyst quoted as claiming “hundreds of billions” of municipal bonds may default this year. Just as the shelves of grocery stores were fearfully stripped due to media hysteria preceding Hurricane Irene, investors were unduly frightened by the unusual market volatility of a normally staid asset class.

However, much like the significance of Hurricane Irene was overstated by the media, the metaphorical storm of the municipal credit based defaults has proven significantly milder than suggested by the financial media’s initial headlines. This “Headline Risk,” however, has taken a toll on the municipal marketplace. Although distinct from credit risk, Headline Risk increased investor concerns, causing investors to exit the municipal market at an inopportune time as bond prices decreased and yields rose. Rising state revenues, meaningful expenditure reductions and attractive relative yields have overcome most fears and investors have returned to the municipal bond market.

Ironically, the impending default risk of the Federal government proved less troublesome to the municipal market than the aforementioned Headline Risk. In May, the Treasury Department reported that the $14.29 trillion debt limit had been reached, but it could keep the government functioning normally until August 2. With significant opposition, the House of Representatives approved an agreement on August 1, by a 269 to 161 vote. The Senate passed the measure the following day, hours before the deadline set by the Treasury and it was signed shortly thereafter by the President, which provided the ability to make the necessary appropriations by the narrowest of margins. While the last-minute deal may have avoided a default, the spectacle raised the eyebrows of citizens and investors questioning the ability of our Federal government to make decisions about national debt and budgeting issues. The resulting effect on the municipal bond market is difficult to quantify since the event was spread over a broad period of time and largely priced into the market by the time it ultimately unfolded. The resulting damage inflicted on the credit side was shouldered primarily by certain state and local governments dependent upon Federal appropriations.

On August 5, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the long-term sovereign credit rating of the United States of America for the first time ever. The rating was lowered one notch from AAA to AA+ and was largely credited to the instability of American policymaking, specifically the partisan fight over raising the nation’s debt ceiling. The market, in general, still views the nation in a triple-A light with Moody’s Investors Service affirming its Aaa rating and Fitch Ratings rating the Nation’s sovereign debt AAA. S&P analyzes state and local government credit quality independent of the Federal government placing certain state and local governments in higher ratings categories than the Nation, for the first time ever. The negligible reaction of the municipal bond market to S&P’s

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

downgrade demonstrates the resiliency of the municipal bond asset class. Furthermore, the effect on Oregon municipal bonds has been minor; the primary result being increased scrutiny of credits relying upon Federal appropriations. Nevertheless, the downgrade of our Nation’s credit rating reinforces the value of deep credit research and a disciplined approach to portfolio management.

The Federal Open Market Committee continues its efforts to reinvigorate the economy, this time with Operation Twist designed to lower yields on long-term bonds through the purchase of $400 billion of longer-term Treasuries, and sale of $400 billion of Treasuries that mature in three months to three years. The “twist” term refers to early 1960s-era operations wherein the central bank sold shorter-dated securities and bought longer-dated securities in an effort to drive down long-term rates and stimulate economic growth. The policy goal is to make home and business loans more attractive to encourage home purchases and business expansion. At the very least, we believe this policy will keep long-term rates on Treasuries low and have a corresponding effect on highly rated municipal bonds forcing investors seeking higher yields to either look further out on the yield curve or at lower rated or non-rated sectors. We expect our focus to remain on maintaining high credit quality through our proprietary research and local expertise. And, we will seek to continue to review lower rated investment grade bonds to find credits with minimal risk that we believe will outperform the market.

Oregon’s economy continues to recover, albeit at a disconcertingly slow pace. The housing market continues to be an obstacle to recovery, and while recent news has been mostly positive, improvement has been merely incremental. The latest housing price data indicates prices are down over the past year but have made improvements in the last few months indicating there may be some stabilization in value. Data released by the Regional Multiple Listings Service indicates the median sale price for a Portland metropolitan area home was $225,000, a slight decline from July’s $227,200 and 10% short of August 2010. The Portland metropolitan area housing market activity has, however, improved with 1,805 homes sold in August 2011, a 5.6% increase over July 2011 and 30.7% increase over the same month a year earlier.

Employment gains have not been strong enough to decrease the unemployment rate quickly and initial unemployment claims remain at high levels consistent with a weak labor market. Over the past year, the employment picture within the State has marginally improved with statewide unemployment decreasing from 10.7% in August 2010 to 9.6% in August 2011. However, on a national standing, Oregon has shown significant improvement over the past year, dropping from the 7th highest unemployment rate to the 14th highest. Regionally, 21 of Oregon’s 36 counties have double-digit unemployment, with Crook County as the highest (at 15.6%) which is a significant improvement from a year ago when the unemployment was 17.9%. The Counties with the lowest unemployment rates are also the areas in which Tax-Free Trust of Oregon’s (“TFTO”) portfolio holdings are most highly concentrated: Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Marion, Benton and Lane Counties. Since declines in state and local government revenues lag the private sector, government had the highest rate of job decline losing 6,100 jobs over the year (-2.2%), which has been largely accounted for by statewide reductions in teachers as school districts wrangle with balancing budgets in the face of reduced state funding and increasing pension and healthcare costs.

The most significant Oregon news over the past year was the March 9 upgrade of the State’s general obligation creditworthiness by Standard & Poor’s from “AA” to “AA+.” The upgrade was based, among other things, on the State’s strong financial policies and practices and confidence in

2

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

its ability to cover pension obligations. The State Treasurer’s office has estimated savings from the upgrade at $4.3 million per $100 million over the life of a bond issue. Additionally, Moody’s and Fitch have reaffirmed the State’s stable Aa1 and AA+ ratings.

The State’s revenue forecast for the current biennium continues the weather theme with metaphorical reference to the State’s economic headwinds. TFTO has significant exposure to the State’s credit with an 8.5% exposure to State general fund credits and an additional 26.5% exposure to school district obligations, most of which are backed by the State through the Oregon School Bond Guaranty Program. The State’s revenue forecast estimates an approximate $200 million shortfall over the course of the biennium due, primarily, to reduced capital gains tax collections. Reasons for the projected loss were attributed to the headwinds, which the report cites as the European debt crisis, volatility on Wall Street and concerns about Congress’ ability to manage debt. All of these factors are national or international concerns rather than being Oregon specific, indicating the slow pace of the national recovery is taking a toll on Oregon.

While the projected shortfall may seem to be concerning news on the surface, from a credit perspective it demonstrates that the State was prepared to accommodate a revenue decrease and that the State’s budgeting process is flexible enough to provide significant relief when called upon. The Oregon Economic Forecast provides information to planners and policy makers in State agencies and private organizations for use in their decision making processes. Revenue forecasts are issued every three months, the next forecast is due shortly before December, and one more will likely be released before the Legislature concludes the 2012 session in early March. When the forecast is high by 2 percent or more it could trigger the State’s “kicker” tax rebate, refunding revenues to taxpayers. However, when the forecast is too low, lawmakers are likely to cut back budgets mid-cycle. Since this is the first quarterly economic report of the biennium there remains significant time for recovery and the outlook is unlikely to require any immediate cuts in government spending. More importantly, lawmakers have budgeted substantial reserves into the budget in case income falls flat.

We have remarked at the resiliency of the Oregon property tax system through the downturn and the significant buffer between real market and assessed value allowing assessed value to continue to increase in many areas at pre-recession levels even though real market values were declining. This unique quality to Oregon’s property tax assessment process allows for a margin of safety for debt holders during periods of real estate price declines. Current year property tax collections as of June 30, 2011 for the 2010-11 tax-year improved in the three largest Counties held by TFTO. The percentage in Multnomah County increased from 93.88% in 2009-10 to 94.40% in 2010-11, Clackamas County’s percentage increased from 93.66% to 93.87% and Washington County collected at a 94.64% rate in 2010-11 compared to 94.38% the prior year.

As the recovery continues, Oregon local governments have become increasingly wary of the effectiveness of the capital markets. Over the past year there has been increased focus on local governments looking for funding alternatives and foregoing issuance of new debt since local governments in Oregon do not have the ability to raise taxes beyond their permanent rate. Low voter sentiment towards money measures has discouraged many local governments from attempting to pass general obligation bonds. As a result, new issuance of municipal securities has declined significantly. Coupled with downward interest rate pressures, this has provided a significant challenge to investors in the municipal marketplace. The majority of money measures

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

on the ballot do not pass - of the 17 bond measures presented on May ballots in Oregon, only 8 passed. Furthermore, on the May ballot, there were 13 school districts with general obligation bond measures, a sharp contrast to the upcoming November ballot with only 2 school districts submitting ballot measures for general obligation bond measures. Given the shortage of money issues on the November ballot, it is likely that low supply of new issues from 2011 will carry into 2012.

We believe our conservative approach has provided a steady share price. As of September 30, 2011, the portfolio had an average maturity of 13.16 years with approximately one-third of the portfolio invested in maturities of less than 10-years, 78.86% of portfolio holdings rated AAA or AA and 43.85% insured or pre-refunded. Additionally, the portfolio was evenly distributed between revenue and general obligation bonds. The total return for Class A investors based on Net Asset Value was 3.05% and the double-exempt dividend yield averaged approximately 3.40% for the year ended September 30, 2011.

2011-12 Strategy

Tax-Free Trust of Oregon has maintained an investment strategy that emphasizes intermediate maturities and investment grade credit quality securities for the past quarter century. Our goal has always been, and continues to be, providing an above average double tax-exempt dividend and a relatively stable share price. We plan to accomplish this goal by limiting our interest rate sensitivity over the course of the year by reducing exposure to zero coupon bonds and longer duration positions. Although it is difficult to see a meaningful increase in interest rates in the short run, we think now is a good time to prepare the portfolio for this eventuality. Bond prices have rebounded sharply from their lows earlier in the year and now offer an opportunity to reduce the holdings that may be more volatile in a rising interest rate environment. Record low interest rates have tempted many investors to add more risk to their portfolios by extending maturities to capture more yield. We believe, however, that it is prudent to resist that temptation and maintain our more defensive position until more attractive yields are available.

Furthermore, we have reduced TFTO’s exposure to sectors that are underperforming such as health care and Puerto Rico and we have added to holdings where our credit research uncovers securities offering an incremental yield advantage from wider credit spreads. Areas we have been targeting are those sectors that provide the additional yield yet still exhibit significant safety characteristics such as unlimited tax backed general obligation bonds and revenue bonds with strong legal covenants issued by local utilities and transportation districts. In addition, we will seek to continue adding to some of the high quality positions from the State of Oregon and its agencies that the Trust currently owns. We will additionally seek to maintain or shorten our average maturity from the current 13 years, while maintaining what we believe to be a very high credit quality profile. We believe this investment strategy will generate a reliable double tax-exempt income stream and a relatively stable share price experience.

     Thank you for your investment and continued confidence in Tax-Free Trust of Oregon.

PERFORMANCE REPORT

The following graph illustrates the value of $10,000 invested in the Class Y shares of Tax-Free Trust of Oregon for the 10-year period ended September 30, 2011 as compared with the Barclays Capital Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Index (the “Barclays Capital Index”) and the Consumer Price Index (a cost of living index). The performance of each of the other classes is not shown in the graph but is included in the table below. In prior “Performance Reports”, Class A shares performance was graphed. The chart below now shows Class Y shares which is consistent with the bar chart disclosure in the Trust’s prospectus. It should be noted that the Barclays Capital Index does not include any operating expenses nor sales charges, and being nationally oriented, does not reflect state specific bond market performance.

Total return figures shown for the Trust reflect any change in price and assume all distributions within the period were invested in additional shares. Returns for Class A shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 4% maximum sales charge. Returns for Class C shares are calculated with and without the effect of the 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) imposed on redemptions made within the first 12 months after purchase. Class Y shares are sold without any sales charge. The rates of return will vary and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate with market conditions. Shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A portion of each class’s income may be subject to Federal and state income taxes. Past performance is not predictive of future investment results.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

Tax-Free Trust of Oregon:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Tax-Free Trust of Oregon as of September 30, 2011 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Free Trust of Oregon as of September 30, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TAX-FREE TRUST OF OREGON

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

1. Organization

Tax-Free Trust of Oregon (the “Trust”) is a separate portfolio of The Cascades Trust. The Cascades Trust (the “Business Trust”) is an open-end investment company, which was organized on October 17, 1985, as a Massachusetts business trust and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is a non-diversified portfolio which commenced operations on June 16, 1986 and until April 5, 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 January 31, 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 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.

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 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.

25

TAX-FREE TRUST OF OREGON

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

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, 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, 2011:

Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1 – Quoted Prices	$	–
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs –
Municipal Bonds*		474,580,965
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs		–
Total	$	474,580,965

*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 (2008-2010) or expected to be taken in the Trust’s 2011 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 September 30, 2011, the Trust decreased undistributed net investment income by $11,225 and increased paid-in capital by $11,225 due primarily to differing book/tax treatment of distributions and bond amortization. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
i)	Accounting pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” that requires additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Certain required disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.
	In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU No. 2011-04 amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact these updates and amendments may have on the Trust’s financial statements.

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. The portfolio management of the Trust has been delegated to a Sub-Adviser as described below. Under the Advisory and Administrative Agreement, the Manager provides all administrative services to the Trust, other than those relating to the day-to-day portfolio management. The Manager’s services include providing the office of the Trust and all related services as well as overseeing the activities of the Sub-Adviser and managing relationships with all the various support organizations to the Trust such as the shareholder servicing agent, custodian, legal counsel, auditors and distributor and additionally maintaining the Trust’s accounting books and records. 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% of net assets of the Trust. Beginning January 1, 2011, the Manager determined to waive its fees to the extent necessary so that fees through the period ending January 31, 2012 shall be as follows: the annual rate shall be equivalent to 0.40 of 1% of such net asset value on net assets of the Trust above $400 million; 0.38 of 1% of the Trust’s net assets above that amount to $1 billion and 0.36 of 1% of the Trust’s net assets above $1 billion. For the year ended September 30, 2011, the Trust incurred management fees of $1,909,607 of which $9,956 was waived.

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 year ended September 30, 2011, distribution fees on Class A Shares amounted to $560,647 of which the Distributor retained $30,229.

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 year ended September 30, 2011, amounted to $198,700. 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 year ended September 30, 2011, amounted to $66,234. The total of these payments made with respect to Class C Shares amounted to $264,934 of which the Distributor retained $48,890.

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 Oregon, with the bulk of any sales commissions inuring to such intermediaries. For the year ended September 30, 2011, total commissions on sales of Class A Shares amounted to $778,370 of which the Distributor received $136,903.

c) Other Related Party Transactions

On June 1, 2011, Bingham McCutchen LLP replaced Butzel Long PC (“Butzel”) as counsel to the Trust. During the period October 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011, the Trust incurred $202,577 of legal fees allocable to Butzel for legal services in conjunction with the Trust’s ongoing operations. During this period, the Trust’s former Secretary was Of Counsel to Butzel.

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended September 30, 2011, purchases of securities and proceeds from the sales of securities aggregated $70,032,316 and $91,102,635, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, the aggregate tax cost for all securities was $444,361,270. At September 30, 2011, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost amounted to $30,808,197 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value amounted to $588,502 for a net unrealized appreciation of $30,219,695.

5. Portfolio Orientation

Since the Trust invests principally and may invest entirely in double tax-free municipal obligations of issuers within Oregon, it is subject to possible risks associated with economic, political, or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting Oregon and whatever effects these may have upon Oregon issuers’ ability to meet their obligations. Two such developments, Measure 5, a 1990 amendment to the Oregon Constitution, as well as Measures 47 and 50, limit the taxing and spending authority of certain Oregon governmental entities. These amendments could have an adverse effect on the general financial condition of certain municipal entities that would impair the ability of certain Oregon issuers to pay interest and principal on 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.

7. Trustees’ Fees and Expenses

At September 30, 2011 there were 7 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 year ended September 30, 2011 was $197,816. 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 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. For the year ended September 30, 2011, such meeting-related expenses amounted to $64,260.

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 Oregon 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 portion of the dividends may, under some circumstances, be subject to taxes at ordinary income and/or capital gain rates. At September 30, 2011, the Trust had a capital loss carry forward of $116,445 which expires in 2017.

As of September 30, 2011, there were post-October capital loss deferrals of $213,603 which will be recognized in the following year.

The tax character of distributions:

	Year Ended September 30,
	2011		2010
Net tax-exempt income	$	16,826,664	$	17,862,526
Ordinary income		–		145,973
Capital gain		–		–
	$	16,826,664	$	18,008,499

As of September 30, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation	$	30,219,695
Undistributed tax-exempt income		256,170
Accumulated net loss on investments		(116,445	)
Other temporary differences		(469,773	)
	$	29,889,647

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed income is due to the timing difference in recognizing dividends paid.

11. Tax Information

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Modernization Act amends several tax provisions impacting mutual funds. In general, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after enactment. The Modernization Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses versus the prior eight year limitation. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Modernization Act, if any, will be contained within the Federal Tax Status of Distributions section of the financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.

12. Ongoing Development

Since December 2007, the three major rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch) downgraded or eliminated ratings of the majority 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.

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, 2011 and held for the six months ended September 30, 2011.

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, 2011

	Actual
	Total Return	Beginning	Ending	Expenses
	Without	Account	Account	Paid During
	Sales Charges(1)	Value	Value	the Period(2)
Class A	6.85%	$1,000.00	$1,068.50	$4.10
Class C	6.41%	$1,000.00	$1,064.10	$8.49
Class Y	6.94%	$1,000.00	$1,069.40	$3.32

(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 0.79%, 1.64% and 0.64% 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, 2011

Class Y	5.00%	$1,000.00	$1,021.86	$3.24

(1)      Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.79%, 1.64% and 0.64% 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 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement

Renewal until June 30, 2012 of the Advisory and Administration Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and the Manager and the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and Davidson Fixed Income Management, Inc., doing business as Kirkpatrick Pettis Capital Management, (the “Sub-Adviser”) was approved by the Board of Trustees and the independent Trustees in June, 2011. 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 September 30, 2010;

·  A report, prepared by the Manager containing data about the performance of the Trust,data about its fees, expenses and purchases and redemptions of capital shares together withcomparisons of such data with similar data about other comparable funds, as well as data asto the profitability of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and

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

The Trustees acted on the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement separately but they considered each in conjunction with the other to determine the agreements’ combined effects on the Trust. The Trustees reviewed materials relevant to, and considered, the factors set forth below, and as to each agreement reached the conclusions described.

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

The Manager has provided all administrative services to the Trust. The Board considered the nature and extent of the Manager’s supervision of third-party service providers, including the Trust’s shareholder servicing agent and custodian.

The Manager has arranged for the Sub-Adviser to manage the Trust’s portfolio. The Trustees noted that the Sub-Adviser employed Mr. Christopher B. Johns as portfolio manager for the Trust, and had provided facilities for credit analysis of the Trust’s portfolio securities. The Trustees noted that Mr. Johns possessed more than 30 years of fixed income portfolio management experience including 24 years managing the portfolio of Tax-Free Fund of Colorado, a related fund advised by the Manager. 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 Oregon in light of prevailing interest rates and local economic conditions.

The Board considered that the Manager and the Sub-Adviser had provided all services the Board deemed necessary or appropriate, including the specific services that the Board has

45

determined are required for the Trust, given that its purpose is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from Oregon state and regular Federal income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. It noted that compared to other Oregon state-specific municipal bond-funds, the portfolio of the Trust was of higher quality and contained no securities subject to the alternative minimum tax.

The Board concluded that a commendable quality of services was provided and that the Trust would be well served if they continued. Evaluation of this factor weighed in favor of renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The investment performance of the Trust.

The Board reviewed each aspect of the Trust’s performance and compared its performance with that of its local competitors, with national averages and with a benchmark index. It was noted that the materials provided by the Manager indicated that the Trust had investment performance measured by total return that was generally comparable to the local Oregon competition and peer group for the year-to-date, one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods.

The Board concluded that the performance of the Trust was acceptable in light of market conditions, the length of its average maturities, its investment objectives including portfolio quality and its long-standing emphasis on risk minimization, while observing that the Trust’s Sharpe and Treynor ratios, which measure risk-adjusted return, were slightly less favorable than two in-state competitors. Evaluation of the investment performance of the Trust indicated to the Trustees that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be appropriate.

The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and the sub-Adviser and their affiliates from their relationships with the Trust.

The information provided in connection with renewal contained expense data for the Trust and its local competitors and peer group as well as data for single-state tax-free municipal bond funds nationwide, including data for such front-end sales charge funds of a comparable asset size. The materials also showed the profitability to the Manager and estimated profitability to the Sub-Adviser of their 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 retained an independent consultant to provide data on profitability. The returns to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were at or below industry averages but were sufficient for ongoing financial viability.

The Board considered that the foregoing indicated the appropriateness of the costs of the services to the Trust, which was being well managed as indicated by the factors considered previously.

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

46

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

The Trust has in place breakpoints in the sub-advisory fee which would be realized as the Trust grows. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement the Manager will compensate the Sub-Adviser at the annual rate of 0.18 of 1% on the Trust’s net assets up to $400 million; 0.16% on net assets above that amount to $1 billion in net assets and 0.14% on net assets thereafter. The Trustees also noted that the materials indicated that the Trust’s fees were already lower than what those of its peers would be at comparable asset levels, including those with breakpoints. Evaluation of this factor indicated to the Board that the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be renewed.

Benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates from their relationships with the Trust.

The Board observed that, as is generally true of most fund complexes, the Manager and the Sub-Adviser and their 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 Manager and the Sub-Adviser and their 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.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

(a) As of September 30, 2011 (the end of the reporting period) the Trust has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Trust's principal executive officer(s)and principal financial officer(s) and persons performing similar functions ("Covered Officers") as defined in the Aquila Group of Funds Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers under Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

(f)(1) Pursuant to Item 10(a)(1), a copy of the Trust's Code of Ethics that applies to the Trust's principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) and persons performing similar functions is included as an exhibit to its annual report on this Form N-CSR;

(f)(2) The text of the Trust's Code of Ethics that applies to the Trust's principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) and persons performing similar functions has been posted on its Internet website which can be found at the Trust's Internet address at aquilafunds.com.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

(a)(1)(ii) The Board of Trustees of the Fund has determined that it does not have at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. The Fund does not have such a person serving on the audit committee because none of the persons currently serving as Trustees happens to have the technical accounting and auditing expertise included in the definition of "audit committee financial expert" recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with this Form N-CSR, and the Board has not heretofore deemed it necessary to seek such a person for election to the Board.

The primary mission of the Board, which is that of oversight over the operations and affairs of the Fund, confronts the Trustees with a wide and expanding range of issues and responsibilities. The Trustees believe that, accordingly, it is essential that the Board's membership consist of persons with as extensive experience as possible in fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of mutual fund directors and audit committee members and, ideally, with extensive experience and background relating to the economic and financial sectors and securities in which the Fund invests, including exposure to the financial and accounting matters commonly encountered with respect to those sectors and securities. The Board believes that its current membership satisfies those criteria. It recognizes that it would also be helpful to have a member with the relatively focused accounting and auditing expertise reflected in the applicable definition of "audit committee financial expert," just as additional members with similarly focused technical expertise in other areas relevant to the Fund's operations and affairs would also contribute added value. However, the Board believes that the Fund is better served, and its assets better employed, by a policy of hiring experts in various the specialized area of technical accounting and auditing matters, if and as the Board identifies the need, rather than by seeking to expand its numbers by adding technical experts in the areas constituting its domain of responsibility. The Fund's Audit Committee Charter explicitly authorizes the Committee to retain such experts as it deems necessary in fulfilling its duties

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

a) Audit Fees - The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements were $21,000 in 2011 and $20,800 in 2010.

b) Audit Related Fees - There were no amounts billed for audit-related fees over the past two years.

c)  Tax Fees - The Registrant was billed by the principal accountant $3,400 and $3,300 in 2011 and 2010, respectively, for return preparation and tax compliance.

d) All Other Fees - There were no additional fees paid for audit and non-audit services other than those disclosed in a) thorough c) above.

e)(1) Currently, the audit committee of the Registrant pre-approves audit services and fees on an engagement-by-engagement basis

e)(2) None of the services described in b) through d) above were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, all were pre-approved on an engagement-by-engagement basis.

f) No applicable.

g) There were no non-audit services fees billed by the Registrant's accountant to the Registrant's investment adviser or distributor over the past two years

h) Not applicable.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

Not applicable.

ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

Not applicable.
