“The Only Thing Certain is Uncertainty”
Serving Oregon investors since 1986

May, 2020

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

In these uncertain times, you often can’t tell from one day to the next what is going to happen.  In fact, it seems that the only thing you can be certain of these days is uncertainty.  You just never know what tomorrow will bring.

While no system is foolproof, we want to assure you that we have taken deliberate steps at the Aquila Group of Funds in an endeavor to ensure that there are appropriate safeguards and checks and balances in place to dampen the influence of potential threats to your Fund.

Our experiences with Y2K more than two decades ago, 9/11, the Northeast Blackout (2003), Hurricane Sandy (2012) and many other disruptors have allowed us to continually fine tune and test our business continuity and contingency plans to be used when future disruptive events occur.  The framework of these plans include the capability to reroute telephone calls, access systems and data remotely, and utilize alternate worksites. These plans have been used and modified over time as we have handled the adversities that have come our way.

Given these difficult times, the Aquila Group of Funds remains firmly committed in our pursuit of your Fund’s investment objective which seeks to provide as high a level of double tax-free income as is consistent with capital preservation.  In simple terms, we strive to help protect what you have invested in our Funds while also pursuing the investment objective of double tax-free income.

The investment strategy of Aquila Group of Funds’ municipal bond funds strives to provide a diversified portfolio of high-quality securities, with an intermediate average maturity.

We have continually sought to invest in municipal securities which are high in quality.  In fact, the prospectus of our municipal bond funds specifically limits the portfolio manager to investing in investment grade bonds which are rated within the top four credit ratings - AAA, AA, A and BBB by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch Ratings) or unrated bonds deemed to be of equivalent quality. In actuality, although we are permitted to invest in the top four credit ratings, we generally strive to have the majority of our investments within the top two credit ratings – AAA and AA.

These higher credit ratings identify those municipal issues which are deemed to have significant cash flow strength to pay interest when due on a timely basis and to redeem the bonds at maturity.  

Additionally, we believe that having an intermediate-term portfolio of municipal bonds tends to moderate the share price fluctuation.  We, therefore, strive to structure each Fund’s portfolio so that some of the bonds have maturities of 1 year, while others have varying maturities of, for example, 20 – 25 years.  Generally, each Fund’s average maturity is kept in the neighborhood of 7 – 12 years.  We believe this keeps the return potential as high as possible while also striving to keep the value of your investment stable.

NOT A PART OF THE ANNUAL REPORT

Furthermore, we have sought to ensure that the investments of each Fund are geographically spread throughout the state as well as over a diverse group of projects or sectors.  This approach of seeking to avoid over-concentration in the Fund’s portfolio of investments is intended to have two benefits.  One is minimizing, as feasible, any adverse effect to the share value should a problem arise with any particular bond.  Second, it helps build and renovate the various kinds of municipal projects (such as hospitals, schools, and roadways) that benefit you, and other citizens, throughout the state.

While the world out there is uncertain indeed, you can count on the certainty that at Aquila Group of Funds, we have planned for times like this, and we plan to continue to provide you with our time-tested investment process, which is designed to provide access to a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds, while seeking to provide as high a level of double tax-free income as possible, with minimal fluctuation in share value.  

Sincerely,

Diana P. Herrmann, Vice Chair and President

ANNUAL REPORT Management Discussion
Serving Oregon investors since 1986

U.S. Economy

At the end of 2019, the underlying economy in the U.S. was in good health with low unemployment, high business and consumer sentiment, growing personal income, low interest rates, growing asset prices, and relatively mild household debt burdens.  The primary economic concern was a developing trade war with China, which faded following the signing of the Phase One trade deal in January.  Over most of 2019, businesses and manufacturing activity were constrained by a tight labor market and global supply chain disruptions.  Following a shift in Federal Reserve policy during October, the yield curve returned to a more conventional positive slope to finish 2019.

Earlier this year (2020), the capital markets experienced a dramatic shift in sentiment as speculation regarding the potential economic impact of the coronavirus led to widespread financial market uncertainties.  Economic activity has decreased since the middle of March due to stay-at-home orders to contain the coronavirus.  As a result, the U.S. labor market softened in March with the unemployment rate rising to 4.4%, the highest level since August 2017.  Furthermore, U.S. economic data slowed after economic growth peaked at 3.1% during the first quarter.  Prior to March, real Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) had settled in at an approximate two percent annual pace.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Stimulus (“CARES”) Act  was signed into law on March 27, 2020, providing an unprecedented $2.1 trillion in aid to household, small businesses, markets and state and local governments in dealing with COVID-19.  The CARES Act represents the largest economic stimulus package in U.S. history.  However, due to the developing nature of the pandemic, forecasters are struggling to assess the economic impact.  

Municipal Market

Over the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, the municipal (“muni”) market largely continued previously established trends of slowly tightening credit spreads and a flattening yield curve.  Investors reaching for marginal yield had priced both interest rate risk and credit risk out of the market.  However, this trend came to a startling halt, during the last 30-days of the reporting period as investors struggled to come to terms with the capital markets amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-19 virus.  According to Refinitiv Lipper US Fund Flows data, municipal mutual (and exchange traded fund (“ETF”)) outflows exceeded $12 billion during the seven-day period ended March 18, an unprecedented level of selling that was three times the previous record.  The result was a surge in muni yields as buyers rushed for the shelters of cash, money market funds and US Treasuries to exit the muni market amidst weak bids.  Keep in mind that it was only a few weeks prior that new municipal issues were multiple times oversubscribed with historically low yields.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

The weakness in the municipal market contrasted with the strength in the US Treasury market, resulting in attractive relative value for municipal bonds. This dislocation is most apparent at the short-end of the yield curve, where 1-year municipal bonds changed hands at over 5 times the yield on US Treasuries. This differential was largely driven by monetary stimulus provided to the US Treasury market by the Fed. As of March 31st, the muni market had yet to gain its traditional footing versus US Treasuries.
The strength in the US Treasury market was largely driven by the Fed, which reactivated monetary policies from the 2008 financial crisis in support of our weakening capital markets. The Fed initially announced its intention to purchase at least $700 billion in asset purchases, of which approximately half of the $500 billion dollar allotment for US Treasury purchases was consumed in the first week. The Fed also announced support to municipalities through expansion of the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility
	to include variable rate demand notes and bank CDs, with high-quality tax-exempt commercial paper now eligible for the Fed’s commercial paper facility. On April 9, the Fed introduced a $500 billion Municipal Liquidity Facility designed to help state and local governments manage cash flow interruptions resulting from the virus.
After the initial moves to higher yields, Federal legislation and the return of taxable investors drawn to the attractive relative value of munis led to a reversal of the municipal sell-off. Recent Federal legislation has reinforced the Federal Government’s commitment
	to support the states as they come under extreme financial pressure. Although yields bounced lower, any further upside is tempered by the knowledge that all governments surely will be under pressure to provide for their citizens while the virus runs unconstrained by a vaccine or successful treatment.

Oregon Bond Market and Economy

Much like the national economy is struggling with stay-at-home orders, the Oregon economy is slowing with Governor Brown’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order.  In mid-April the State released the March labor force data, which showed little impact from the spread of the Coronavirus, since the March unemployment rate is based on activity during the week of Sunday, March 8th through Saturday, March 14th.  Over 2019, Oregon continued to see healthy rates of growth in employment, income, and GDP with job gains sufficient to hold the unemployment rate steady.  In its March 2020 economic and revenue forecast, the State

2  |  Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Oregon

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

economist noted a stable near-term outlook and slightly stronger outlook for the long-term. However, this report preceded the Coronavirus economic slowdown. The State’s Employment Department reported an unemployment rate of 3.3% with 69,400 unemployed Oregonians, which is near the State’s lowest number in over 40 years. More recent information from the State economist’s office, reported in mid-April, indicated severe labor force displacements with hundreds of thousands of Oregonians applying for unemployment insurance in just the past few weeks.  However, the Coronavirus situation continues to develop and the long-term impact will largely depend on both the severity and duration of the crisis.

For 2019, Oregon municipal bond issuers sold over 20% more tax-exempt bonds than in 2018. This was largely due to a strong 2018 election, which approved a robust $1.39 billion of voter approved general obligation bonds.  The 2019 election proved less fruitful, with just over $820 million of approved general obligation bonds, which is still historically strong. First quarter 2020 tax-exempt issuance in Oregon was approximately a third less than issuance for the first quarter of 2019.  This was largely due to the March sell-off and underwriters’ unwillingness to take on the potential risk of unsold bonds.  As a result, the Oregon municipal bond calendar ended the quarter with multiple issues delayed while underwriters evaluate market conditions.

Although 2019 was a relatively strong year for Oregon munis, much of the new issuance was taxable. The impact on the Oregon muni market has been more pronounced than in other states with approximately 40% of municipal bonds sold in 2019 carrying taxable interest.  Historically, this number has been closer to 10% or 15%. Much of the taxable activity has been spurred by the elimination of tax-exempt advance refunding bonds as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Although refunding bonds are a positive development for local government balance sheet metrics, we remain concerned about the reduction in supply of tax-exempt bonds by transferring that issuance to the taxable market.  For the first quarter of 2020, taxable issuance levels remained elevated and we expect taxable munis should continue to feature prominently in 2020.

3  |  Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Oregon

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

Holdings within the Trust (as of March 31st) that we believe are more susceptible to the impact of the COVID-19 Virus include Portland Airport, Metro’s financing of the Convention Center Hotel and the City of Portland’s Convention Center Bonds.  Collectively, these bonds accounted for 2.5% of Trust assets as of March 31st.  As of the fiscal year end, over 60% of the portfolio’s bond holdings were allocated to general obligation bonds which rely upon property taxes for repayment.  We do not see any material immediate credit risks for these credits given the stability of the property tax funded revenue model and a lack of exposure to significant Coronavirus related expenditure increases for most of these bonds.  Property tax collections in Oregon have been robust over the past year and property values have continued to appreciate.  Nevertheless, the impact of recent stock market declines will likely weigh on future pension contribution rates, which can impact general obligation bonds in a more direct manner than other credit structures.  There are certain credits and sectors, such as higher-education and healthcare, where we expect to see limited distress.  The University of Oregon has already announced the elimination of 282 jobs, which is expected to last at least through the summer.  Although this environment could lead to ratings downgrades, as with any economic slowdown, we will continue to strive to differentiate ourselves with thorough credit analysis and insightful research.

Fund Strategy

The total return for the A share class, based upon net asset value (“NAV”), was 3.30% for the year ended March 31, 2020. The Bloomberg Barclays Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) returned 3.09% for the same period.  Fund performance lagged the Index during much of 2019, due to its shorter effective duration of 4.55 years, overweighting of pre-refunded bonds, high credit quality and an underweighting in riskier sectors, such as healthcare.  However, these same factors lead to outperformance during the last 30-days of the reporting period, resulting in overall performance similar to the Index.  Although our 8.0% (as of March 31st) exposure to pre-refunded bonds inhibited performance during most of the year, these bonds provided valuable liquidity during a highly uncertain period.  As a part of our overall defensive portfolio strategy, we continue to maintain a heightened exposure to pre-refunded bonds as a source of liquidity and current yield.  Furthermore, given the uncertainty of our current economic and health conditions, these holdings could, once again, provide stability.  

Outlook and Strategy

Our portfolio had, and continues to hold, over 90% AA or higher credit quality, due to currently narrow credit spreads in the municipal market.  Considering the current status of economic conditions, should credit spreads widen, we might consider strategically adding lower investment grade holdings to provide greater value.  Similarly, should the yield curve steepen, we might consider slightly lengthening duration to take advantage of higher rates.

Mutual fund investing involves risk and loss of principal is possible.

The market prices of the Fund’s securities may rise or decline in value due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. When market prices fall, the value of your investment may go down. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

The respiratory illness COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States.  Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time.

Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. The value of your investment may go down if and when interest rates rise. A rise in interest rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term securities. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Fund.

Investments in the Fund are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of the issuers of underlying securities and their inability to meet their debt obligations.

The value of municipal securities can be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers or insurers of municipal issuers, regulatory developments, legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. The Fund may be affected significantly by adverse economic, political or other events affecting state and other municipal issuers in which it invests, and may be more volatile than a more geographically diverse fund.

A portion of income may be subject to local, state, Federal and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to capital gains tax.

These risks may result in share price volatility.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of March 31, 2020, 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 its 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.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor for the Trust since 2005.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.   Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

AQUILA TAX-FREE TRUST OF OREGON

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2020

1. Organization

Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Oregon (the “Trust”) (from inception until the close of business on October 11, 2013, the Trust operated under the name Tax-Free Trust of Oregon) is the sole 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 commenced operations on June 16, 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 F Shares and 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 F Shares and 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. 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 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 ask 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.

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.

30  |  Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Oregon

AQUILA TAX-FREE TRUST OF OREGON

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

MARCH 31, 2020

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 March 31, 2020:

Valuation Inputs*	Investments in Securities
Level 1 – Quoted Prices	$	11,412,175
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs — Municipal Bonds*		610,855,425
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs		—
Total	$	622,267,600
* 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 (2017 – 2019) or expected to be taken in the Trust’s 2020 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.

AQUILA TAX-FREE TRUST OF OREGON

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

MARCH 31, 2020

g)

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

h)

Reclassification of capital accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended March 31, 2020, there were no items identified that have been reclassified among components of net assets.

i)

The Trust is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services-Investment Companies”.

j)

New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.  The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date.  The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continue to be amortized to maturity.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has reviewed this provision and has concluded that there is no impact to the Trust.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

MARCH 31, 2020

which is payable monthly and computed as of the close of business each day at the annual rate of 0.40% of net assets of the Trust. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive its fees through September 30, 2020 to the extent necessary in order to pass savings through to the shareholders recognized under the Sub-Advisory Agreement (as described below) such that its fees are as follows: the annual rate shall be equivalent to 0.40% of net assets of the Trust up to $400 million; 0.38% of the Trust’s net assets above that amount to $1 billion and 0.36% of the Trust’s net assets above $1 billion. This contractual undertaking is currently in effect until September 30, 2020. The Manager may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Trust incurred management fees of $2,491,139, of which $44,557 was waived.

Kirkpatrick Pettis Capital Management (the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as the Investment Sub-Adviser for the Trust under a Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Adviser. Under this agreement, the Sub-Adviser continuously provides, subject to oversight of the Manager and the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the investment program of the Trust and the composition of its portfolio, arranges for the purchases and sales of portfolio securities, and provides for daily pricing of the Trust’s portfolio. For its services, for the period April 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019, the Sub-Adviser was entitled receive  to a fee such that its annual rate of fees was at 0.18% of net assets of the Fund up to $400 million; 0.16% of net assets above $400 million up to $1 billion; and 0.14% of net assets above $1 billion.  Starting December 1, 2019, for its services, the Sub-Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fee through September 30, 2020 such that its  annual rate of fees is at 0.16% of net assets of the Trust up to $400 million; 0.14% of net assets above $400 million up to $1 billion; and 0.12% of net assets above $1 billion.

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, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Specific details as to the nature and extent of the services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser 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 1940 Act. 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 LLC (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 March 31, 2020, distribution fees on Class A Shares amounted to $556,893 of which the Distributor retained $26,187.

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.

33  |  Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Oregon

AQUILA TAX-FREE TRUST OF OREGON

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

MARCH 31, 2020

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 March 31, 2020, amounted to $132,064. 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 March 31, 2020, amounted to $44,022. The total of these payments made with respect to Class C Shares amounted to $176,086 of which the Distributor retained $42,499.

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 (“financial intermediaries”), the Trust’s shares are sold primarily through the facilities of these financial intermediaries having offices within Oregon, with the bulk of any sales commissions inuring to such financial intermediaries. For the year ended March 31, 2020, total commissions on sales of Class A Shares amounted to $246,254 of which the Distributor received $45,738.

c)

Transfer and shareholder servicing fees:

The Trust occasionally compensates financial intermediaries in connection with the sub-transfer agency related services provided by such entities in connection with their respective Trust shareholders so long as the fees are deemed by the Board of Trustees to be reasonable in relation to (i) the value of the services and the benefits received by the Trust and certain shareholders; and (ii) the payments that the Trust would make to another entity to perform similar ongoing services to existing shareholders.

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended March 31, 2020, purchases of securities and proceeds from the sales of securities aggregated $95,494,973 and $74,818,423, respectively.

At March 31, 2020, the aggregate tax cost for all securities was $597,859,084. At March 31, 2020, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost amounted to $24,496,210 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value amounted to $87,694 for a net unrealized appreciation of $24,408,516.

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. For example, 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.  At March 31, 2020, the Trust had 100% of its long-term portfolio holdings invested in municipal obligations of issuers within Oregon.

8. 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.

MARCH 31, 2020

9. Income Tax Information and Distributions

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. 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. At March 31, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards of $1,407,180 of which $923,853 retains its character of short-term and $483,327 retains its character of long-term; both have no expiration. As of March 31, 2020, the Trust had post-October losses of $535,097, which is deferred until fiscal 2021 for tax purposes. Capital losses incurred after October 31st, and within the table year, are deemed to arise on the first day of the Trust’s next taxable year.

The tax character of distributions was as follows:

	Year Ended March 31, 2020		Year Ended March 31, 2019
Net tax-exempt income	$	11,785,976	$	13,677,544
Ordinary Income		201,298		43,941
	$	11,987,274	$	13,721,485

As of March 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were:

Unrealized appreciation	$	24,408,516
Undistributed tax-exempt income		490,314
Accumulated net loss on investments		(1,407,180)
Post October losses		(535,097)
Other temporary differences		(179,560)
	$	22,776,993

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed  income is due to the timing difference, post October losses, and other temporary differences, in recognizing dividends paid and the tax treatment of market discount amortization and the deduction of distributions payable.

10. Credit Facility

The Bank of New York Mellon and the Aquila Group of Funds (which is comprised of nine funds) are parties to a $40 million credit agreement, which currently terminates on August 26, 2020 (per the August 28, 2019 amendment). In accordance with the Aquila Group of Funds Guidelines for Allocation of Committed Line of Credit, each fund is responsible for payment of its proportionate share of

a)

a 0.17% per annum commitment fee; and,

b)

interest on amounts borrowed for temporary or emergency purposes by the Fund (at the applicable rate selected by the Aquila Group of Funds at the time of the borrowing of either (i) the one-month Eurodollar Rate or (ii) a rate equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day, or (c) the Overnight Eurodollar Rate in effect on such day).

There were no borrowings under the credit agreement for the year ended March 31, 2020.

11. Recent events

The respiratory illness COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and/or liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time.

Your Trust’s Expenses (unaudited)

As a Trust shareholder, 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 “12b-1” and/or service fees; and other Fund 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 assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.

Actual Expenses

The 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 that 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”.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds

Under the heading, “Hypothetical” in the table, information is provided about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Trust’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Trust’s actual return.  This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period, but it can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs.  Therefore, information under the heading “Hypothetical” is useful comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds.  In addition, if transactional costs were included, your total costs would have been higher.

	Actual			Hypothetical
	(actual return after expenses)			(5% annual return before expenses)
Share Class	Beginning Account Value 10/1/19	Ending(1) Account Value 3/31/20	Expenses(2) Paid During Period 10/1/19 – 3/31/20	Ending Account Value 3/31/20	Expenses(2) Paid During Period 10/1/19 – 3/31/20	Net Annualized Expense Ratio
A	$1,000	$1,006.40	$3.51	$1,021.50	$3.54	0.70%
C	$1,000	$1,002.20	$7.76	$1,017.25	$7.82	1.55%
F	$1,000	$1,008.20	$2.66	$1,022.35	$2.68	0.53%
Y	$1,000	$1,007.20	$2.76	$1,022.25	$2.78	0.55%

(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 or the applicable CDSC with respect to Class C shares.  Total return is not annualized and as such, it may not be representative of the total return for the year.

(2)

Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the six-month period as indicated above - in the far right column - multiplied by the simple average account value over the period indicated, and then multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the one-half year period.

EX-99.CODE ETH

AQUILA GROUP OF FUNDS

CODE OF ETHICS

FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

UNDER SECTION 406 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, AS AMENDED

I. Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This is the code of ethics (the "Code") for the investment companies within the Aquila Group of Funds (collectively, "Funds" and each, a "Fund," each of which is detailed in Exhibit A).  It applies to the Fund's Principal Executive Officer(s) and Principal Financial Officer(s) (the "Covered Officers," each of whom is listed in Exhibit B), for the purpose of promoting:

*honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual;

*or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

*full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Fund;

*compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

*the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

*accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview.  A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his/her service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his/her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his/her position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act").  For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund.  The Fund's and the investment adviser's compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions.  This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code. Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.  As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for the adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Fund.  The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund.  Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.  In addition, it is recognized by the Funds' Boards of Trustees ("Boards") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act.  The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.  The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

Each Covered Officer must:

*not use his/her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

*not cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Fund;

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the general counsel of the Fund ("General Counsel"), if material. Examples of these include:

*service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

*the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

*the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

*any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund's service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;

*a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III. Disclosure and Compliance

Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself/herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund;

*each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund's Trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his/her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV. Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

*upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he/she has received, read, and understands the Code;

*annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he/she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

*not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

*notify the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Fund promptly if he/she knows of any violation of this Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

*file at least annually a complete and accurate Funds' Trustees and Officers Questionnaire.

The General Counsel is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.  However, any approvals or waivers1 sought by the Chairman of the Board or the President will be considered by the Audit Committee (the "Committee").

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

*the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;

*if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action; any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Committee;

* if the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform the  Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;

* the Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

* any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

V.  Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.  Insofar as the policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds' adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.  The Funds' and their investment adviser's and principal underwriter's codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the adviser's more detailed policies and procedures set forth in their respective codes are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VI.  Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit B, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent Trustees.

VII.  Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly.  Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Board and the General Counsel, and if deemed appropriate by the Board, with other Funds in the complex where the Funds share a common Covered Officer.

VIII.  Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
