Kansas Municipal Fund  

Dear Shareholder: 

Enclosed is the semi-annual report of the operations of the Kansas Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2005.  The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review. 

The economic outlook has brightened, with employment showing renewed strength, oil prices dropping and the weak dollar adding stimulus. 

The improved tone of the employment data, together with a firm stock market have boosted the Federal Reserve’s confidence that it can continue to tighten the Fed Funds rate, currently at 2.25%, without causing any major damage. 

The weak dollar adds an element of instability to the outlook.  The Fed views a weak dollar as an inevitable and necessary part of an adjustment to a lower current account deficit.  However, the weak dollar and the rise in gold, oil and other commodities have signaled rising inflationary pressures.  The “core” Consumer Price Index has increased 2.4%.   

Despite these signs of inflation, the Treasury market remains unfazed.  After jumping to 4.9% in the spring of 2004, 10-year Treasury yields ended the period at 4.13%, as it appears investors are not worried about inflation.  That was not the case in 1987, a previous period during which the dollar was weak and gold prices were rising.  Then, bond yields moved sharply higher as investors feared the Fed was behind the inflation curve.  A rise in bond yields would thus be an important signal of increased inflation expectations.   

Given our concerns early in the period that U.S. economic growth could pick up and interest rates could rise sooner than anticipated, we structured the Fund defensively to help mitigate the effects of a possible rise in interest rates.  Our strategy entailed focusing on bonds with higher coupons, maintaining a lower average maturity life and maintaining a short position in U.S. Treasury futures.  Although this conservative strategy at times limited the Fund’s full participation in market rallies, it helped reduce its overall volatility during the period.  Our approach also favorably contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during times when long-term bond prices were dropping, particularly early in the spring.   

Why Higher Coupon Bonds? 

In rising rate environments, the prices of shorter-term fixed-income obligations have typically held up better than those on longer-term bonds.  Rather than commit a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets to low-yielding short-term bonds, the Fund maintained an emphasis on longer-term, premium priced higher-coupon bonds for their favorable income.  However, we continued to hold short positions in U.S. Treasury bond futures to help hedge the portfolio against interest rate risk.  As of the period’s close, the Fund’s average maturity was approximately 16 years.  However, the Fund’s duration, a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate movements, was 4 years.   

The Kansas Municipal Fund A shares began the period at $10.93 per share and ended the period at $10.77 per share, for a total return of 0.27% (without sales charge) for the six month period.  This compares to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index’s return of 4.80% for the six month period. 

An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality, double tax-exempt issues.  Credit quality for the period was AAA 63%, AA 18%, A 8%, BBB 3%, NR 7% and BB 1%. 

Income exempt from federal and Kansas state income taxes with preservation of capital remain the primary objectives of the Fund.

Putting Performance into Perspective

Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results.  The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed.  To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two.  The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Kansas municipal bonds.  Your Fund’s total return for the periods shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees.  A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.  Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results.  In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities necessary to match the index.  And, if they could, they would incur transaction c osts and other expenses.  All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.  The Fund’s share price, yields and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Integrity Money Management, the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, Inc. (“Integrity Fund Services”), the Fund’s transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Integrity Mutual Funds”), the Fund’s sponsor. 

The continuation of a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by a vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “Interested Persons” of any party (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.  In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund’s adviser.  The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals.  At a meeting held on December 17, 2004, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Fun dand Integrity Money Management.   

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory Agreements nor “interested persons” of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement.  In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser, that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion.  In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:  

(a)     the nature, extent and quality of the adviser’s services;

(b)     the performance of the fund and the adviser;

(c)     the adviser’s cost and profitability in providing its services, including the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger;

(d)     any ancillary benefits to the adviser or its affiliates in connection with its relationship to the investment company; and

(e)     the amount of fees charged in comparison to those of other investment companies.   

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of the Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other Fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds.  In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Fund, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund’s past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to the Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser.  The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to the Fund.  In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements involving the Adviser an d the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided.  The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling.  The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to voluntarily limit Fund expenses and the skills and capabilities of the Adviser.  On the basis of the information provided for their review, the Trustees reached the following conclusions: 

·         A comparison of the Fund’s pro forma net operating expenses under the Advisory Agreements vis-à-vis comparable funds reflected that most of the comparable funds have similar expense structures based upon data provided by the Adviser and Fund financial reports.  The Fund’s net expense ratio of 0.96% for the Class A shares was comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.

·         The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser had historically been, and continued to be, satisfactory to the Board. 

·         The other funds managed by the Adviser have traditionally had a relatively low net ratio of expenses.  The Investment Adviser has assured through subsidization that its other Funds have had consistent performance relative to comparable and competing funds.

·         The portfolio manager of the Fund has over 20 years experience in managing mutual funds.  The Adviser currently provides services to 17 funds in the Integrity family of funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds.  The experience and expertise of the Adviser is attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund’s future performance.

·         Although the Fund has underperformed its relative benchmark, the Fund has met its investment objective for providing as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Kansas income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.  As of September 30, 2004, the Fund had postive annualized returns for the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods.

·         The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Fund as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as the Fund grows larger, but the size of the Fund has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. 

In voting unanimously to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance.  The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Integrity Money Management, the strategic plan involving the Fund and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund.  They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements  January 31, 2005 (Unaudited) 

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION

Business operations - The Kansas Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered.  Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990.  The Fund had no operations from that date to November 15, 1990, other than matters relating to organization and registration.  On November 15, 1990, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares.  The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and Kansas income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital.  The Fund will seek to achieve this obj ective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Kansas municipal securities.   

Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price. 

Note 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management.  The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following:  yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers and general market conditions.  Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.  The Fund follows industry practice and records security transact ions on the trade date. 

The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state.  This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. 

When-issued securities - The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis.  Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security.  The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.  The value of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.  With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.  Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. 

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) – In the case of investments of $1 million or more, a 1.00% CDSC may be assessed on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). 

Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.  Distributions during year ended July 30, 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes.

For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund made no permanent reclassifications to reflect tax character.  Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to expiring capital loss carryforwards. 

Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year.  For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund deferred to August 1, 2004, post October capital losses, post October currency losses and post October passive foreign investment company losses of $1,029,260. 

Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and paid monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash.  Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. 

Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.  

Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions. 

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.  Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. 

Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase. 

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date.  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded.  Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index.  Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.  When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy.  Unrealized appreciation (depreciat ion) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes. 

Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.  The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. 

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts.  These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. 

At January 31, 2005, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:

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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund

Dear Shareholder: 

Enclosed is the annual report of the operations of the Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund (the "Fund") for the six months ended January 31, 2005.  The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.  

The economic outlook has brightened, with employment showing renewed strength, oil prices dropping and the weak dollar adding stimulus. 

The improved tone of the employment data, together with a firm stock market have boosted the Federal Reserve’s confidence that it can continue to tighten the Fed Funds rate, currently at 2.25% without causing any major damage. 

The weak dollar adds an element of instability to the outlook.  The Fed views a weak dollar as an inevitable and necessary part of an adjustment to a lower current account deficit.  However, the weak dollar and the rise in gold, oil and other commodities have signaled rising inflationary pressures.  The “core” Consumer Price Index has increased 2.4%.   

Despite these signs of inflation, the Treasury market remains unfazed.  After jumping to 4.9% in the spring of 2004, 10-year Treasury yields ended the period at 4.13%, as it appears investors are not worried about inflation.  That was not the case in 1987, a previous period during which the dollar was weak and gold prices were rising.  Then, bond yields moved sharply higher as investors feared the Fed was behind the inflation curve.  A rise in bond yields would thus be an important signal of increased inflation expectations.   

Given our concerns early in the period that U.S. economic growth could pick up and interest rates could rise sooner than anticipated, we structured the Fund defensively to help mitigate the effects of a possible rise in interest rates.  Our strategy entailed focusing on bonds with higher coupons, maintaining a lower average maturity life and maintaining a short position in U.S. Treasury futures.  Although this conservative strategy at times limited the Fund’s full participation in market rallies, it helped reduce its overall volatility during the period.  Our approach also favorably contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during times when long-term bond prices were dropping, particularly early in the spring.   

Why Higher Coupon Bonds? 

In rising rate environments, the prices of shorter-term fixed-income obligations have typically held up better than those on longer-term bonds.  Rather than commit a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets to low-yielding short-term bonds, the Fund maintained an emphasis on longer-term, premium priced higher-coupon bonds for their favorable income.  However, we continued to hold short positions in U.S. Treasury bond futures to help hedge the portfolio against interest rate risk.  As of the period’s close, the Fund’s average maturity was approximately 9 years.  However, the Fund’s duration, a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate movements, was 4 years.   

The Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund A shares began the period at $11.44 per share and ended the period at $11.19 per share for a total return of -0.05% (without sales charge) for the six month period. This compares to the Lehman municipal index’s return of 3.68% for the period. 

An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality, double tax-exempt issues.  Credit quality for the period was AAA 100%. 

Income exempt from federal and Kansas state income taxes with preservation of capital remains the primary objectives of the Fund.

Putting Performance into Perspective

Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results.  The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed.  To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two.  The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Kansas municipal bonds.  Your Fund’s total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees.  A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.  Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results.  In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities necessary to match the index.  And, if they could, they would incur transaction co sts and other expenses.  All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.  The Fund’s share price, yields and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

* The Fund Complex consists of the three funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, and the eight series of The Integrity Funds. 

** Trustees and/or officers who are “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Messrs. Quist and Walstad are interested persons by virtue of being officers and Directors of the Fund’s Investment Adviser and Principal Underwriter. 

Trustees and officers of the Fund serve until their resignation, removal or retirement.

 

The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about the Fund’s Trustees and is available without charge upon request, by calling Integrity Funds Distributor at 1(800) 276-1262.

 

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Integrity Money Management, the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, Inc. (“Integrity Fund Services”), the Fund’s transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Integrity Mutual Funds”), the Fund’s sponsor. 

The continuation of a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “Interested Persons” of any party (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.  In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund’s adviser.  The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals.  At a meeting held on December 17, 2004, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), between the Fundand Integrity Money Management.  

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory Agreements nor “interested persons” of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement.  In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion.  In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:  

(a)     the nature, extent and quality of the adviser’s services;

(b)     the performance of the fund and the adviser;

(c)     the adviser’s cost and profitability in providing its services, including the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger;

(d)     any ancillary benefits to the adviser or its affiliates in connection with its relationship to the investment company; and

(e)     the amount of fees charged in comparison to those of other investment companies.   

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of the Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds.  In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Fund, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund’s past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to the Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser.  The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to the Fund.  In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements involving the Adviser an d the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided.  The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling.  The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to voluntarily limit Fund expenses and the skills and capabilities of the Adviser.  On the basis of the information provided for their review, the Trustees reached the following conclusions: 

·         A comparison of the Fund’s pro forma net operating expenses under the Advisory Agreements vis-à-vis comparable funds reflected that most of the comparable funds have similar expense structures based upon data provided by the Adviser and Fund financial reports.  The Fund’s net expense ratio of 0.75% for the Class A shares was comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.

·         The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser had historically been, and continued to be, satisfactory to the Board. 

·         The other funds managed by the Adviser have traditionally had a relatively low net ratio of expenses.  The Investment Adviser has assured through subsidization that its other funds have had consistent performance relative to comparable and competing funds.

·         The Portfolio Manager of the Fund has over 20 years experience in managing mutual funds.  The Adviser currently provides services to seventeen funds in the Integrity family of funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds.  The experience and expertise of the Adviser is attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund’s future performance.

·         Althought the Fund has underperformed its relative benchmark, the Fund has met its investment objective for providing as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Kansas income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.  As of September 30, 2004, the Fund had postive returns for the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods.

·         The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Fund as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as the Fund grows larger, but the size of the Fund has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. 

In voting unanimously to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance.  The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Integrity Money Management, the strategic plan involving the Fund and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund.  They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements  January 31, 2005 (Unaudited) 

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION

Business operations - Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered.  Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990.  The Fund had no operations from that date to November 23, 1992, other than matters relating to organization and registration.  On November 23, 1992, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares.  The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and Kansas income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital.  The Fund will seek to achieve t his objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Kansas insured securities.  

Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 2.75% of the offering price. 

Note 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management.  The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following:  yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers and general market conditions.  Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.  The Fund follows industry practice and records security transact ions on the trade date. 

The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state.  This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. 

When-issued securities – The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis.  Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security.  The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.  The value of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.  With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.  Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. 

Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.  Distributions during the year ended July 30 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes. 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

The Fund has unexpired capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of July 30, 2004, totaling $1,385,009, which may be used to offset capital gains.  The capital loss carryforward amounts will expire in each of the years ended July 31 as shown in the table below.

For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund made no permanent reclassifications to reflect tax character.  Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to expiring capital loss carryforwards. 

Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year.  For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund deferred to August 1, 2004 post October capital losses, post October currency losses and post October passive foreign investment company losses of $166,698. 

Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash.  Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. 

Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.  

Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions. 

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.  Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. 

Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase. 

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date.  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded.  Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index.  Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.  When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy.  Unrealized appreciation (depreciat ion) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for federal income tax purposes. 

Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.  The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. 

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts.  These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. 

At January 31, 2005, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:

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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Note 3.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of January 31, 2005, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; 1,479,183 and 1,484,046 shares were outstanding at January 31, 2005, and July 30, 2004, respectively.

Maine Municipal Fund

Dear Shareholder: 

Enclosed is the annual report of the operations of the Maine Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2005.  The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review. 

The economic outlook has brightened, with employment showing renewed strength, oil prices dropping and the weak dollar adding stimulus. 

The improved tone of the employment data, together with a firm stock market have boosted the Federal Reserve’s confidence that it can continue to tighten the Fed Funds rate, currently at 2.25% without causing any major damage. 

The weak dollar adds an element of instability to the outlook.  The Fed views a weak dollar as an inevitable and necessary part of an adjustment to a lower current account deficit.  However, the weak dollar and the rise in gold, oil and other commodities have signaled rising inflationary pressures.  The “core” Consumer Price Index has increased 2.4%.   

Despite these signs of inflation, the Treasury market remains unfazed.  After jumping to 4.9% in the spring of 2004, 10-year Treasury yields ended the period at 4.13%, as it appears investors are not worried about inflation.  That was not the case in 1987, a previous period during which the dollar was weak and gold prices were rising.  Then, bond yields moved sharply higher as investors feared the Fed was behind the inflation curve.  A rise in bond yields would thus be an important signal of increased inflation expectations.   

Given our concerns early in the period that U.S. economic growth could pick up and interest rates could rise sooner than anticipated, we structured the Fund defensively to help mitigate the effects of a possible rise in interest rates.  Our strategy entailed focusing on bonds with higher coupons, maintaining a lower average maturity life and maintaining a short position in U.S. Treasury futures.  Although this conservative strategy at times limited the Fund’s full participation in market rallies, it helped reduce its overall volatility during the period.  Our approach also favorably contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during times when long-term bond prices were dropping, particularly early in the spring.   

Why Higher Coupon Bonds? 

In rising rate environments, the prices of shorter-term fixed-income obligations have typically held up better than those on longer-term bonds.  Rather than commit a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets to low-yielding short-term bonds, the Fund maintained an emphasis on longer-term, premium priced higher-coupon bonds for their favorable income.  However, we continued to hold short positions in U.S. Treasury bond futures to help hedge the portfolio against interest rate risk.  As of the period’s close, the Fund’s average maturity was approximately 13 years.  However, the Fund’s duration, a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate movements, was 7 years.   

The Maine Municipal Fund A shares began the period at $11.10 per share and ended the period at $10.67 per share for a total return of -2.31% (without sales charge) for the six month period. This compares to the Lehman municipal index’s return of 4.80% for the six month period. 

An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality, double tax-exempt issues.  Credit quality for the period was AAA 78.1%, AA 19.0%, A 2.5% and BBB 0.4%. 

Income exempt from federal and Maine state income taxes with preservation of capital remains the primary objectives of the Fund.

Putting Performance into Perspective

Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results.  The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed.  To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two.  The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Maine municipal bonds.  Your Fund’s total return for the periods shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees.  A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.  Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results.  In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities necessary to match the index.  And, if they could, they would incur transaction costs and other expenses.  All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.  The Fund’s share price, yields and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND  

The Board of Integrity Managed Portfolios consists of four Trustees.  These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as Directors or Trustees for all of the funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios and the eight series of The Integrity Funds.  Three Trustees (75% of the total) have no affiliation or business connection with the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates.  These are the “Independent” Trustees.  Two of the remaining three Trustees and/or executive officers are “interested” by virtue of their affiliation with the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

* The Fund Complex consists of the three funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, and the eight series of The Integrity Funds. 

** Trustees and/or officers who are “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Messrs. Quist and Walstad are interested persons by virtue of being officers and Directors of the Fund’s Investment Adviser and Principal Underwriter. 

Trustees and officers of the Fund serve until their resignation, removal or retirement. 

The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about the Fund’s Trustees and is available without charge upon request, by calling Integrity Funds Distributor at 1(800) 276-1262.

 

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Integrity Money Management, the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, Inc. (“Integrity Fund Services”), the Fund’s transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Integrity Mutual Funds”), the Fund’s sponsor. 

The continuation of a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “Interested Persons” of any party (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.  In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund’s adviser.  The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals.  At a meeting held on December 17, 2004, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), between the Fundand Integrity Money Management.   

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory Agreements nor “interested persons” of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement.  In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion.  In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:  

(a)     the nature, extent and quality of the adviser’s services;

(b)     the performance of the fund and the adviser;

(c)     the adviser’s cost and profitability in providing its services, including the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger;

(d)     any ancillary benefits to the adviser or its affiliates in connection with its relationship to the investment company; and

(e)     the amount of fees charged in comparison to those of other investment companies.   

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of the Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds.  In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Fund, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund’s past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to the Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser.  The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to the Fund.  In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements invol ving the Adviser and the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided.  The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling.  The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to voluntarily limit Fund expenses and the skills and capabilities of the Adviser.  On the basis of the information provided for their review, the Trustees reached the following conclusions: 

·         A comparison of the Fund’s pro forma net operating expenses under the Advisory Agreements vis-à-vis comparable funds reflected that most of the comparable funds have similar expense structures based upon data provided by the Adviser and Fund financial reports.  The Fund’s net expense ratio of 0.96% for the Class A shares was comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.

·         The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser had historically been, and continued to be, satisfactory to the Board. 

·         The other Funds managed by the Adviser have traditionally had a relatively low net ratio of expenses.  The Investment Adviser has assured through subsidization that its other Funds have had consistent performance relative to comparable and competing funds.

·         The Portfolio Manager of the Fund has over 20 years experience in managing mutual funds.  The Adviser currently provides services to seventeen funds in the Integrity family of funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad based equity funds.  The experience and expertise of the Adviser is attributable to the long term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund’s future performance.

·         Although the Fund has underperformed its relative benchmark, the Fund has met its investment objective for providing as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Maine income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.  As of  September 30, 2004, the Fund had postive annualized returns for the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods.

·         The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Fund as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as the Fund grows larger, but the size of the Fund has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. 

In voting unanimously to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance.  The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Integrity Money Management, the strategic plan involving the Fund and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund.  They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements  January 31, 2005 (Unaudited) 

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION

Business operations - The Maine Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered.  Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and Maine income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital.  The Fund will seek to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Maine municipal securities.   

On December 19, 2003, the Maine Municipal Fund became a series of Integrity Managed Portfolios.  Prior to this the Fund was part of the Forum Funds and was named the Maine TaxSaver Bond Fund.  The Maine TaxSaver Bond Fund commenced operations on December 5, 1991.  The Forum Funds is a Delaware business trust that is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  

Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price. 

Note 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management.  The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following:  yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers and general market conditions.  Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.  The Fund follows ind ustry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. 

The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state.  This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. 

When-issued securities – The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis.  Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security.  The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.  The value of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.  With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.  Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or o ther factors.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) – In the case of investments of $1 million or more, a 1.00% CDSC may be assessed on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). 

Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.  Distributions during the four month period ended July 30 2004, were characterized tax-exempt for tax purposes. 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

As of July 30, 2004, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis was as follows:

$791,770

$1,395,318

 

The Fund has $0 capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of July 30, 2004. 

For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund made no permanent reclassifications to reflect tax character.  Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to expiring capital loss carryforwards.

Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year.  For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund deferred to August 1, 2005 post October capital losses, post October currency losses and post October passive foreign investment company losses of $0.  

Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and paid monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash.  Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. 

Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.   

Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions. 

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.  Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. 

Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase. 

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date.  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded.  Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index.  Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.  When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy.&nbs p; Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes. 

Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.  The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. 

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts.  These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. 

At January 31, 2005, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:

($311,026)

 

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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Note 3.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of January 31, 2005, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; 2,682,838 and 2,855,243 shares were outstanding at January 31, 2005 and July 30, 2004, respectively. 

Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

Note 4.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Integrity Money Management, the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, the Fund’s transfer, accounting and administrative services agent, are subsidiaries of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. 

The Fund has engaged Integrity Money Management to provide investment advisory and management services to the Fund.  The Investment Advisory Agreement provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  The Fund has recognized $29,629 of investment advisory fees after partial waiver for the six months ended January 31, 2005.  The Fund has a payable to Integrity Money Management of $4,576 at January 31, 2005, for investment advisory fees.  Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of the investment adviser. 

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, the investment adviser has agreed to pay all the expenses of the Fund (excluding taxes and brokerage fees and commissions, if any) that exceed 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on an annual basis up to the amount of the management and investment advisory fee payable by the Fund to the adviser.  Accordingly, after fee waivers and expense reimbursements, the Fund’s annualized operating expenses were 0.96% for the six months ended January 31, 2005.

Nebraska Municipal Fund

Dear Shareholder: 

Enclosed is the semi-annual report of the operations of the Nebraska Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2005.  The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review. 

The economic outlook has brightened, with employment showing renewed strength, oil prices dropping and the weak dollar adding stimulus. 

The improved tone of the employment data, together with a firm stock market have boosted the Federal Reserve’s confidence that it can continue to tighten the Fed Funds rate, currently at 2.25% without causing any major damage. 

The weak dollar adds an element of instability to the outlook.  The Fed views a weak dollar as an inevitable and necessary part of an adjustment to a lower current account deficit.  However, the weak dollar and the rise in gold, oil and other commodities have signaled rising inflationary pressures.  The “core” Consumer Price Index has increased 2.4%.   

Despite these signs of inflation, the Treasury market remains unfazed.  After jumping to 4.9% in the spring of 2004, 10-year Treasury yields ended the period at 4.13%, as it appears investors are not worried about inflation.  That was not the case in 1987, a previous period during which the dollar was weak and gold prices were rising.  Then, bond yields moved sharply higher as investors feared the Fed was behind the inflation curve.  A rise in bond yields would thus be an important signal of increased inflation expectations.   

Given our concerns early in the period that U.S. economic growth could pick up and interest rates could rise sooner than anticipated, we structured the Fund defensively to help mitigate the effects of a possible rise in interest rates.  Our strategy entailed focusing on bonds with higher coupons, maintaining a lower average maturity life and maintaining a short position in U.S. Treasury futures.  Although this conservative strategy at times limited the Fund’s full participation in market rallies, it helped reduce its overall volatility during the period.  Our approach also favorably contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during times when long-term bond prices were dropping, particularly early in the spring.   

Why Higher Coupon Bonds? 

In rising rate environments, the prices of shorter-term fixed-income obligations have typically held up better than those on longer-term bonds.  Rather than commit a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets to low-yielding short-term bonds, the Fund maintained an emphasis on longer-term, premium priced higher-coupon bonds for their favorable income.  However, we continued to hold short positions in U.S. Treasury bond futures to help hedge the portfolio against interest rate risk.  As of the period’s close, the Fund’s average maturity was approximately 16 years.  However, the Fund’s duration, a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate movements, was 4 years.   

The Nebraska Municipal Fund A shares began the period at $10.55 per share and ended the period at $10.31 per share for a total return of       -0.25% (without sales charge) for the six month period.  This compares to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index’s return of 4.80% for the six month period. 

An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality, double tax-exempt issues.  Credit quality for the period was AAA 62%, AA 27%, A 4%, BBB 2% and NR 5%. 

Income exempt from federal and Nebraska state income taxes with preservation of capital remain the primary objectives of the Fund.

Putting Performance into Perspective

Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results.  The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed.  To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two.  The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Nebraska municipal bonds.  Your Fund’s total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees.  A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.  Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results.  In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities necessary to match the index.  And, if they could, they would incur transaction costs and other expenses.  All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.  The Fund’s share price, yields, and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

 

 

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES 

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. 

EXAMPLE 1:

This example assumes that you invest $1,000 in the Fund for the time period indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem all of your shares at the end of the period.  The example also is based on the Fund’s actual operating expenses of 0.96% and rate of return for the period of -0.25%.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 

 

Redemption

No Redemption

Share Class

A

A

YTD Expenses

$51.68

$51.68

 

Account value of an initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period would be $955.11.

 

EXAMPLE 2:

This example assumes that you invest $1,000 in the Fund for the time period indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem all of your shares at the end of the period.  The example is based on the Fund’s actual operating expenses of 0.96% and also assumes that your investment has a 5.00% return.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 

 

Redemption

No Redemption

Share Class

A

YTD Expenses

$51.92

$51.92

 

Account value of an initial investment of $1,000 on A shares as of the end of the period would be $1,005.38.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Integrity Money Management, the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, Inc. (“Integrity Fund Services”), the Fund’s transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Integrity Mutual Funds”), the Fund’s sponsor. 

The continuation of a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “Interested Persons” of any party (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.  In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund’s adviser.  The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals.  At a meeting held on December 17, 2004, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), between the Fundand Integrity M oney Management.   

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory Agreements nor “interested persons” of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement.  In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion.  In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:  

(a)     the nature, extent and quality of the adviser’s services;

(b)     the performance of the fund and the adviser;

(c)     the adviser’s cost and profitability in providing its services, including the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger;

(d)     any ancillary benefits to the adviser or its affiliates in connection with its relationship to the investment company; and

(e)     the amount of fees charged in comparison to those of other investment companies.   

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of the Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds.  In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Fund, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund’s past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to the Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser.  The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to the Fund.  In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements involving the Adviser an d the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided.  The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling.  The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to voluntarily limit Fund expenses and the skills and capabilities of the Adviser.  On the basis of the information provided for their review, the Trustees reached the following conclusions: 

·         A comparison of the Fund’s pro forma net operating expenses under the Advisory Agreement vis-à-vis comparable funds reflected that most of the comparable funds have similar expense structures based upon data provided by the Adviser and Fund financial reports.  The Fund’s net expense ratio of 0.96% for the Class A shares was comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.

·         The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser had historically been, and continued to be, satisfactory to the Board. 

·         The other Funds managed by the Adviser have traditionally had a relatively low net ratio of expenses.  The Investment Adviser has assured through subsidization that its other Funds have had consistent performance relative to comparable and competing funds.

·         The Portfolio Manager of the Fund has over 20 years experience in managing mutual funds.  The Adviser currently provides services to seventeen funds in the Integrity family of funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad based equity funds.  The experience and expertise of the Adviser is attributable to the long term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund’s future performance.

·         Although the Fund has underperformed its relative benchmark, the Fund has met its investment objective for providing as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Nebraska income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.  As of  September 30, 2004, the Fund had postive annualized returns for the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods.

·         The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Fund as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as the Fund grows larger, but the size of the Fund has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. 

In voting unanimously to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance.  The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Integrity Money Management, the strategic plan involving the Fund and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund.  They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements  January 31, 2005 (Unaudited) 

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION

Business operations - The Nebraska Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered.  IntegrityManaged Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990.  The Fund had no operations from that date to November 17, 1993, other than matters relating to organization and registration.  On November 17, 1993, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares.  The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and Nebraska income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.  The Fund will seek to achieve thi s objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Nebraska municipal securities.   

Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. 

Note 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management.  The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following:  yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers and general market conditions.  Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.  The Fund follows industry practice and records security transact ions on the trade date. 

The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state.  This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.

When-issued securities – The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis.  Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security.  The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.  The value of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.  With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.  Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. 

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) – In the case of investments of $1 million or more, a 1.00% CDSC may be assessed on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). 

Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.  Distributions during the year ended July 30, 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes. 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

The Fund has unexpired capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of July 30, 2004, totaling $3,246,137, which may be used to offset capital gains.  The capital loss carryforward amounts will expire in each of the years ended July 31 as shown in the table below.

For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund made $415,126 in permanent reclassifications to reflect tax character.  Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to expiring capital loss carryforwards. 

Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year.  For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund deferred to August 1, 2004 post October capital losses, post October currency losses and post October passive foreign investment company losses of $384,046. 

Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash.  Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually.  

Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.  

Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions. 

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.  Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. 

Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase. 

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date.  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded.  Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index.  Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.  When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy.  Unrealized appreciation (depreciat ion) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes. 

Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.  The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. 

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts.  These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. 

At January 31, 2005, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:

($268,727)

 

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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Note 3.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of January 31, 2005, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; 3,358,898 and 3,287,726 shares were outstanding at January 31, 2005 and July 30, 2004, respectively. 

Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

New Hampshire Municipal Fund

Dear Shareholder: 

Enclosed is the semi-annual report of operations of the New Hampshire Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six month period ended January 31, 2005.  The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review. 

The economic outlook has brightened, with employment showing renewed strength, oil prices dropping and the weak dollar adding stimulus. 

The improved tone of the employment data, together with a firm stock market have boosted the Federal Reserve’s confidence that it can continue to tighten the Fed Funds rate, currently at 2.25% without causing any major damage. 

The weak dollar adds an element of instability to the outlook.  The Fed views a weak dollar as an inevitable and necessary part of an adjustment to a lower current account deficit.  However, the weak dollar and the rise in gold, oil and other commodities have signaled rising inflationary pressures.  The “core” Consumer Price Index has increased 2.4%.   

Despite these signs of inflation, the Treasury market remains unfazed.  After jumping to 4.9% in the spring of 2004, 10-year Treasury yields ended the period at 4.13%, as it appears investors are not worried about inflation.  That was not the case in 1987, a previous period during which the dollar was weak and gold prices were rising.  Then, bond yields moved sharply higher as investors feared the Fed was behind the inflation curve.  A rise in bond yields would thus be an important signal of increased inflation expectations.   

Given our concerns early in the period that U.S. economic growth could pick up and interest rates could rise sooner than anticipated, we structured the Fund defensively to help mitigate the effects of a possible rise in interest rates.  Our strategy entailed focusing on bonds with higher coupons, maintaining a lower average maturity life and maintaining a short position in U.S. Treasury futures.  Although this conservative strategy at times limited the Fund’s full participation in market rallies, it helped reduce its overall volatility during the period.  Our approach also favorably contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during times when long-term bond prices were dropping, particularly early in the spring.   

Why Higher Coupon Bonds? 

In rising rate environments, the prices of shorter-term fixed-income obligations have typically held up better than those on longer-term bonds.  Rather than commit a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets to low-yielding short-term bonds, the Fund maintained an emphasis on longer-term, premium priced higher-coupon bonds for their favorable income.  However, we continued to hold short positions in U.S. Treasury bond futures to help hedge the portfolio against interest rate risk.  As of the period’s close, the Fund’s average maturity was approximately 10 years.  However, the Fund’s duration, a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate movements, was 5 years.   

The New Hampshire Municipal Fund A shares began the period at $10.82 per share and ended the period at $10.41 per share for a total return of –1.32% (without sales charge) for the six month period. This compares to the Lehman municipal index’s return of  4.80% for the six month period. 

An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality, federally tax-exempt issues.  Credit quality for the period was AAA 75%, AA 15% and A 10%. 

Income exempt from both federal and New Hampshire state interest and dividend tax with preservation of capital remains the primary objectives of the Fund.

Putting Performance into Perspective

Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results.  The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed.  To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two.  The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in New Hampshire municipal bonds.  Your Fund’s total return for the periods shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees.  A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.  Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results.  In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities necessary to match the index.  And, if they could, they would incur transaction costs and other expenses.  All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.  The Fund’s share price, yields and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

* The Fund Complex consists of the three funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, and the eight series of The Integrity Funds. 

** Trustees and/or officers who are “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Messrs. Quist and Walstad are interested persons by virtue of being officers and Directors of the Fund’s Investment Adviser and Principal Underwriter. 

Trustees and officers of the Fund serve until their resignation, removal or retirement.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Integrity Money Management, the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, Inc. (“Integrity Fund Services”), the Fund’s transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Integrity Mutual Funds”), the Fund’s sponsor. 

The continuation of a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “Interested Persons” of any party (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.  In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund’s adviser.  The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals.  At a meeting held on December 17, 2004, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), between the Fundand Integrity Money Management.   

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory Agreement nor “interested persons” of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement.  In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion.  In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:  

(a)     the nature, extent and quality of the adviser’s services;

(b)     the performance of the fund and the adviser;

(c)     the adviser’s cost and profitability in providing its services, including the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger;

(d)     any ancillary benefits to the adviser or its affiliates in connection with its relationship to the investment company; and

(e)     the amount of fees charged in comparison to those of other investment companies.   

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of the Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds.  In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Fund, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund’s past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to the Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser.  The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to the Fund.  In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements invol ving the Adviser and the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided.  The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling.  The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to voluntarily limit Fund expenses and the skills and capabilities of the Adviser.  On the basis of the information provided for their review, the Trustees reached the following conclusions: 

·         A comparison of the Fund’s pro forma net operating expenses under the Advisory Agreement vis-à-vis comparable funds reflected that most of the comparable funds have similar expense structures based upon data provided by the Adviser and Fund financial reports.  The Fund’s net expense ratio of 0.96% for the Class A shares was comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.

·         The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser had historically been, and continued to be, satisfactory to the Board. 

·         The other Funds managed by the Adviser have traditionally had a relatively low net ratio of expenses.  The Investment Adviser has assured through subsidization that its other Funds have had consistent performance relative to comparable and competing funds.

·         The Portfolio Manager of the Fund has over 20 years experience in managing mutual funds.  The Adviser currently provides services to seventeen funds in the Integrity family of funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad based equity funds.  The experience and expertise of the Adviser is attributable to the long term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund’s future performance.

·         Although the Fund has underperformed its relative benchmark, the Fund has met its investment objective for providing as high a level of current income exempt from federal and New Hampshire income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.  As of  September 30, 2004, the Fund had postive annualized returns for the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods.

·         The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Fund as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as the Fund grows larger, but the size of the Fund has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. 

In voting unanimously to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance.  The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Integrity Money Management, the strategic plan involving the Fund and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund.  They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements  January 31, 2005 (Unaudited) 

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION

Business operations – The New Hampshire Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered.  Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990.  The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and New Hampshire state interest and dividend tax as is consistent with preservation of capital.  The Fund will seek to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of New Hampshire municipal securities.   

On December 19, 2003, the New Hampshire Municipal Fund became a series of the Integrity Managed Portfolios.  Prior to this the Fund was part of the Forum Funds and was named the New Hampshire TaxSaver Bond Fund.  The New Hampshire TaxSaver Bond Fund commenced operations on December 31, 1992.  The Forum Funds is a Delaware business trust that is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price. 

Note 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment security valuation – Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management.  The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following:  yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers and general market conditions.  Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.  The Fund follows industry practic e and records security transactions on the trade date. 

The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state.  This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. 

When-issued securities – The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis.  Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security.  The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.  The value of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.  With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.  Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. 

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) – In the case of investments of $1 million or more, a 1.00% CDSC may be assessed on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). 

Federal and state income taxes – The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.  Distributions during the four month period ended July 30, 2004, were characterized tax-exempt for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

Long-term Capital Gains

     Total

As of July 30, 2004, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis was as follows: 

Undistributed Ordinary Income

Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains

Accumulated Earnings

Accumulated Capital and Other Losses

Unrealized Appreciation/

(Depreciation)

Total Accumulated Earnings/(Deficit)

$0

$72,597

$0

$0

$202,442

$275,039

 

The Fund has $0 capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of July 30, 2004.   

For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund made no permanent reclassifications to reflect tax character.  Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to expiring capital loss carryforwards. 

Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year.  For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund deferred to August 1, 2004 post October capital losses, post October currency losses and post October passive foreign investment company losses of $0. 

Distributions to shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and paid monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash.  Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. 

Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.  

Other – Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions. 

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.  Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. 

Futures contracts – The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase.

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date.  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded.  Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index.  Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.  When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy.  Unrealized appr eciation (depreciation) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes. 

Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.  The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. 

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts.  These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. 

At January 31, 2005, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:

($74,646)

 

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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Note 3.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of January 31, 2005, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; 751,333 and 736,134 shares were outstanding at January 31, 2005 and July 30, 2004, respectively.

Oklahoma Municipal Fund

Dear Shareholder: 

Enclosed is the annual report of the operations of the Oklahoma Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2005.  The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review. 

The economic outlook has brightened, with employment showing renewed strength, oil prices dropping and the weak dollar adding stimulus. 

The improved tone of the employment data, together with a firm stock market have boosted the Federal Reserve’s confidence that it can continue to tighten the Fed Funds rate, currently at 2.25% without causing any major damage. 

The weak dollar adds an element of instability to the outlook.  The Fed views a weak dollar as an inevitable and necessary part of an adjustment to a lower current account deficit.  However, the weak dollar and the rise in gold, oil and other commodities have signaled rising inflationary pressures.  The “core” Consumer Price Index has increased 2.4%.   

Despite these signs of inflation, the Treasury market remains unfazed.  After jumping to 4.9% in the spring of 2004, 10-year Treasury yields ended the period at 4.13%, as it appears investors are not worried about inflation.  That was not the case in 1987, a previous period during which the dollar was weak and gold prices were rising.  Then, bond yields moved sharply higher as investors feared the Fed was behind the inflation curve.  A rise in bond yields would thus be an important signal of increased inflation expectations.   

Given our concerns early in the period that U.S. economic growth could pick up and interest rates could rise sooner than anticipated, we structured the Fund defensively to help mitigate the effects of a possible rise in interest rates.  Our strategy entailed focusing on bonds with higher coupons, maintaining a lower average maturity life and maintaining a short position in U.S. Treasury futures.  Although this conservative strategy at times limited the Fund’s full participation in market rallies, it helped reduce its overall volatility during the period.  Our approach also favorably contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during times when long-term bond prices were dropping, particularly early in the spring.   

Why Higher Coupon Bonds? 

In rising rate environments, the prices of shorter-term fixed-income obligations have typically held up better than those on longer-term bonds.  Rather than commit a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets to low-yielding short-term bonds, the Fund maintained an emphasis on longer-term, premium priced higher-coupon bonds for their favorable income.  However, we continued to hold short positions in U.S. Treasury bond futures to help hedge the portfolio against interest rate risk.  As of the period’s close, the Fund’s average maturity was approximately 18 years.  However, the Fund’s duration, a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate movements, was 7 years.   

The Oklahoma Municipal Fund A shares began the period at $11.07 per share and ended the period at $11.10 per share for a total return of 2.11% (without sales charge) for the six month period. This compares to the Lehman municipal index’s return of 4.80% for the six month period. 

An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality, double tax-exempt issues.  Credit quality for the period was AAA 69%, AA 14%, A 9%, BBB 5% and NR 3%. 

Income exempt from federal and Oklahoma state income taxes with preservation of capital remains the primary objectives of the Fund.

Putting Performance into Perspective

Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results.  The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed.  To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two.  The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Oklahoma municipal bonds.  Your Fund’s total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees.  A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.  Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results.  In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities necessary to match the index.  And, if they could, they would incur transaction costs and other expenses.  All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.  The Fund’s share price, yields, and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Integrity Money Management, the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, Inc. (“Integrity Fund Services”), the Fund’s transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Integrity Mutual Funds”), the Fund’s sponsor. 

The continuation of a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “Interested Persons” of any party (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.  In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund’s adviser.  The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals.  At a meeting held on December 17, 2004, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), between the Fundand Integrity M oney Management.   

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory Agreements nor “interested persons” of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement.  In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion.  In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:  

(a)     the nature, extent and quality of the adviser’s services;

(b)     the performance of the fund and the adviser;

(c)     the adviser’s cost and profitability in providing its services, including the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger;

(d)     any ancillary benefits to the adviser or its affiliates in connection with its relationship to the investment company; and

(e)     the amount of fees charged in comparison to those of other investment companies.   

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of the Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds.  In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Fund, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund’s past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to the Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser.  The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to the Fund.  In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements involving the Adviser an d the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling.  The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to voluntarily limit Fund expenses and the skills and capabilities of the Adviser.  On the basis of the information provided for their review, the Trustees reached the following conclusions:

 

  • A comparison of the Fund’s pro forma net operating expenses under the Advisory Agreement vis-à-vis comparable funds reflected that most of the comparable funds have similar expense structures based upon data provided by the Adviser and Fund financial reports.  The Fund’s net expense ratio of 0.96% for the Class A shares was comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.
  •          The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser had historically been, and continued to be, satisfactory to the Board. 
  •          The other Funds managed by the Adviser have traditionally had a relatively low net ratio of expenses.  The Investment Adviser has assured through subsidization that its other Funds have had consistent performance relative to comparable and competing funds.
  •          The Portfolio Manager of the Fund has over 20 years experience in managing mutual funds.  The Adviser currently provides services to seventeen funds in the Integrity family of funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad based equity funds.  The experience and expertise of the Adviser is attributable to the long term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund’s future performance.
  •          Although the Fund has underperformed its relative benchmark, the Fund has met its investment objective for providing as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Oklahoma income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.  As of  September 30, 2004, the Fund had postive annualized returns for the 1-year, 5-year, and since inception periods.
  •          The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Fund as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as the Fund grows larger, but the size of the Fund has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. 

In voting unanimously to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance.  The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Integrity Money Management, the strategic plan involving the Fund and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund.  They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements  January 31, 2005 (Unaudited) 

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION

Business operations - Oklahoma Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered.  Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990.  The Fund had no operations from that date to September 25, 1996, other than matters relating to organization and registration.  On September 25, 1996, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal income tax and, to a certain extent, Oklahoma income tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital.  Up to 2 0% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in Oklahoma municipal securities which are subject to Oklahoma state income taxes.  The Fund will seek to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Oklahoma municipal securities.   

Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. 

Note 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management.  The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers and general market conditions.  Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.  The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions o n the trade date.

 

The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state.  This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.

 When-issued securities – The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis.  Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security.  The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.  The value of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.  With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.  Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. 

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) – In the case of investments of $1 million or more, a 1.00% CDSC may be assessed on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). 

Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.  Distributions during the year ended July 30, 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes. 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

The Fund has unexpired capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of July 30, 2004, totaling $1,644,134, which may be used to offset capital gains.  The capital loss carryforward amounts will expire in each of the years ended July 31 as shown in the table below.

For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund made no permanent reclassifications to reflect tax character.  Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to expiring capital loss carryforwards. 

Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year.  For the year ended July 30, 2004, the Fund deferred to August 1, 2005 post October capital losses, post October currency losses and post October passive foreign investment company losses of $518,016. 

Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash.  Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. 

Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.   

Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted  in the United States of America.  These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions. 

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.  Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. 

Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase. 

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date.  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded.  Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index.  Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.  When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy.  Unrealized appreciation (depreciat ion) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes. 

Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.  The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. 

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts.  These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

At January 31, 2005, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

($286,144)

 

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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Note 3.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of January 31, 2005, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; on January 31, 2005, and July 30, 2004, there were 3,286,855 and 3,204,147 shares outstanding, respectively.
