DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Kansas Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, and New Hampshire Municipal Fund (each a “Fund”, and collectively the “Funds”) for the year ended July 31, 2017. Each Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

 

Economic Recap

The Federal Open Market Committee’s (“FOMC” or “Committee”) statement in mid-September noted that the labor market had continued to strengthen and growth of economic activity had picked up from the modest pace seen in the first half of 2016.  Although the unemployment rate was little changed, job gains had been solid and household spending had been growing strongly. The Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 1/4 to 1/2 percent.  The Committee judged that the case for an increase in the federal funds rate had strengthened but decided, for the time being, to wait for further evidence of continued progress. In the mid-December statement the FOMC believed that the continued strength in the labor market and continued growth of economic activity since mid-year justified an increase in the federal funds rate to 1/2 to 3/4 percent and maintained that rate in January.

 

The Committee’s statement in mid-March noted that the labor market had continued to strengthen and that economic activity had continued to expand at a moderate pace.  The Committee also noted that job gains remained solid and the unemployment rate was little changed. Household spending continued to rise moderately while business fixed investment appeared to have firmed somewhat. The Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 3/4 to 1 percent. From an economic perspective, the second quarter of 2017 was more of the same, as the Committee’s statement in mid-June again noted that the labor market continued to strengthen and that economic activity had been rising moderately so far this year.  The Committee also noted that job gains have moderated but have been solid, on average, since the beginning of the year, and the unemployment rate had declined. Household spending picked up in recent months, and business fixed investment continued to expand. The Committee continues to expect that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace and labor market conditions will strengthen somewhat further. In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 1 to 1-1/4 percent. The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. However, the actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data.

 

Municipal Bond Market Recap

Returns were negative for the municipal bond market in the second half of 2016, breaking a streak of four consecutive quarters of positive returns and posting two consecutive quarters of negative returns to finish the year.  Interest rates rose throughout the yield curve in the third quarter as the labor market continued to strengthen and economic activity picked up from the first half of the year. Rates continued to rise in October and more drastically in November on the heels of the Presidential Election, prospects of a higher growth rate for the economy and the possibility of tax reform from a new administration and unified government.  November was the municipal market’s worst performance month since the 2008 financial crisis. However, the market did get a bit of a reprieve in December and January as bond prices recovered some of the prior month’s losses. The dramatic increase in rates from August through January resulted in negative returns for the Funds in the semi-annual period ending January 31.

 

Returns were positive for the municipal market in the first quarter of 2017. The Fed’s increase in the funds rate in mid-March had no net impact on bond market performance in the first quarter as it was highly anticipated. Municipal market yields rose and then declined in the first quarter, ending the period marginally lower than on December 30. The municipal market began to have its doubts about the Trump Administration’s ability to pass its growth initiatives in the near term. Favorable factors remained at the end of the first quarter with light supply and a muni/Treasury ratio that was attractive. Returns were again positive for the municipal market in the second quarter. The municipal bond market continued to perform well as the Trump agenda continued to lose momentum. The municipal market’s strength came as investors see it ever more unlikely that the current administration can accomplish meaningful tax reform this year.  The lack of tax reform, as well as limited municipal supply and pent-up-demand propelled positive returns for the Funds in the first half of the year and into July. However, the strong performance in early 2017 was not enough to offset the pullback in the latter half of 2016.

 

Yields increased throughout the curve during the annual period, up 55 basis points on the 10 year AAA GO, and 58 and 62 basis points on the 20 and 30 year AAA GO, respectively. The increase during the period resulted in negative returns for the Funds in the annual period ending July 31. Issuance during the year came in at $368.9 billion nationally, a 3.64% increase over the same period last year due to a surge in issuance in late 2016.  Since January national issuance is down 15.7% through July vs the same period last year. The 10-year muni/Treasury yield ratio was 85.2% on 7/31/17, down from 94.7% on 1/31/17, and down from 96.1% on 7/29/16.

 

Fund Performance and Outlook

We continue to follow a disciplined strategy of investing to maximize tax-exempt income while seeking value in the municipal market. Recent market activity and the possibility of rising rates has lead us to favor high quality, higher coupon bonds. As interest rates fluctuate, the portfolio becomes diversified with a broad range of securities that help us achieve a high level of current tax-free income for shareholders. All else equal, the shorter maturity structure and higher coupons will be more defensive, mitigating some negative impact to each Fund’s share price should a rise in rates occur.


 

 

The Kansas Municipal Fund began the period at $11.13 per share and ended the period at $10.78 per share for a total return of -0.42%*. The Maine Municipal Fund began the period at $11.31 per share and ended the period at $10.88 per share for a total return of -1.55%*. The Nebraska Municipal Fund began the period at $10.82 per share and ended the period at $10.46 per share for a total return of -1.01%*. The New Hampshire Municipal Fund began the period at $11.07 per share and ended the period at $10.55 per share for a total return of -2.73%* The Oklahoma Municipal Fund began the period at $12.10 per share and ended the period at $11.74 per share for a total return of -0.71%*. The returns of each Fund compare to the Barclays Capital Municipal Index’s return of 0.26%.

 

Income exempt from federal income taxes and each Fund's respective state tax (interest and dividend tax with respect to New Hampshire) with preservation of capital remains the primary objective of the Funds.

*Performance does not include applicable front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, which would have reduced the performance. For Kansas Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, and New Hampshire Municipal Fund, the total annual fund operating expense ratio (before expense waivers and reimbursements and including acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 1.15%, 1.18%, 1.16%, 1.25%, and 1.53%, respectively. The net annual fund operating expense ratio (after expense waivers and reimbursements and excluding acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 0.98%, 0.98%, 0.98%, 0.98%, and 0.98%, respectively. The Fund’s investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses through November 29, 2017 so that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements (excluding taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 0.98% of average daily net assets. This expense limitation agreement may only be terminated or modified prior to November 29, 2017 with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

 

Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end (available within seven business days of the most recent month end) by calling 800-276-1262.

 

You should consider each Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For this and other important information, please obtain a Fund prospectus at no cost from your financial adviser and read it carefully before investing.

 

Bond prices and therefore the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Because each Fund invests in securities of a single state, the Funds are more susceptible to factors adversely impacting the respective state than a municipal bond fund that does not concentrate its securities in a single state.

 

For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a portion of the each Fund’s dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable.

The graph comparing the Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how the Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The 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 to match the index. If they could, transaction costs and other expenses would be incurred. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends. The results prior to August 1, 2009 were achieved while the Fund was managed by a different investment adviser. The current investment adviser may produce different investment results than those achieved by the previous investment adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1: Organization

Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 10, 1990 and commenced operations on November 15, 1990. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company and consists of five series (the “Funds”).

 

The Kansas Municipal Fund (“KS Muni Fund”), Nebraska Municipal Fund (“NE Muni Fund”), and Oklahoma Municipal Fund (“OK Muni Fund”), each a non-diversified Fund, seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and each Fund’s respective state income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. The Maine Municipal Fund (“ME Muni Fund”) and New Hampshire Municipal Fund (“NH Muni Fund”), each a non-diversified Fund, seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and each Fund’s respective state income tax (interest and dividend tax with respect to New Hampshire) without assuming undue risk.

 

Each Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment security valuation—Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by the Funds’ administrative services agent, Integrity Fund Services, LLC (“Integrity Fund Services” or “IFS”). The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees and includes consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality; type of issue, coupon, maturity, and rating; indications as to value from dealers; indications as to value from municipal bond market activity; 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. Refer to Note 3 for further disclosures related to the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments. Shares of a registered investment company, including money market funds that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share.

 

When-issued securities—The Funds 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 values of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial 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, 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. There were no when-issued securities as of July 31, 2017.

 

Contingent deferred sales charge—In the case of investments into the Funds of $500,000 or more, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be assessed on shares redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions).

 

Federal and state income taxes—Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.

 

As of and during the year ended July 31, 2017, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities. Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

Premiums and discounts—Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are accreted and amortized using the effective yield method over the lives of the respective securities.

 

Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. The Funds declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Distributions are recorded 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 and capital loss carryforwards. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified within the composition of net assets to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax basis treatment.


 

 

Use of estimates—The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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.

 

Common expenses—Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds within the Trust based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.

 

NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of July 31, 2017:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“Act”), funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period of time. The short-term and long-term character of such losses are retained rather than being treated as short-term as under previous law. Pre-enactment losses are eligible to be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years. Pursuant to the Act, post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital losses. As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. The Funds’ capital loss carryforward amounts as of July 31, 2017 are as follows:

For the year ended July 31, 2017, NE Muni Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of $7,702. For the year ended July 31, 2017, NE Muni Fund and NH Muni Fund reclassified accumulated net investment income of $329 and $12, respectively, to accumulated realized gain due to market discount on bonds sold. ME Muni Fund reclassified realized gain of $30 to accumulated net investment income due to distribution adjustment.

 

NOTE 7: Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates


 

Viking Fund Management (“VFM”), the Funds’ investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC (“Integrity Funds Distributor” or “IFD”), the Funds’ underwriter and distributor; and IFS, the Funds’ transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC (“Corridor Investors” or “Corridor”), the Funds’ sponsor. A Trustee of the Funds is also a Governor of Corridor.

 

VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. The Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses for the Funds, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, until November 29, 2017 so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.98%. After November 29, 2017, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised. VFM and affiliated service providers may also voluntarily waive fees or reimburse expenses not required under the advisory or other contracts from time to time. There are no recoupment provisions in place for waived/reimbursed fees. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

IFD serves as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds and receives sales charges deducted from Fund share sales proceeds and CDSC from applicable Fund share redemptions. Also, the Funds have adopted a distribution plan for each class of shares as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Distribution plans permit the Funds to reimburse their principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares of the Funds and for various other services. These costs, which consist primarily of commissions and service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the Funds, are paid by shareholders through expenses called “Distribution Plan expenses.” The Funds currently pay an annual distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

NOTE 8: Principal Risks

The Funds invest primarily in municipal securities from a specific state. The Funds may also invest in municipal securities of U.S. territories and possessions (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam). Each Fund is therefore more susceptible to political, economic, legislative, or regulatory factors adversely affecting issuers of municipal securities in its specific state or U.S. territories and possessions.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that bond prices will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. There is normally an inverse relationship between the fair value of securities sensitive to prevailing interest rates and actual changes in interest rates. The longer the average maturity of a Fund’s portfolio, the greater its interest rate risk.

 

NOTE 9: Subsequent Events

On May 18, 2017, the Board of Trustees approved the reorganization of each Fund into the corresponding series of Viking Mutual Funds and the addition of I shares to each corresponding series. The reorganization was also approved by each Fund’s shareholders at a special meeting held on September 21, 2017. The reorganization is expected to occur at the close of business on or about October 31, 2017 and I shares will be available following the reorganization on a date not yet determined.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Integrity Managed Portfolios

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Integrity Managed Portfolios, comprising Kansas Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, and New Hampshire Municipal Fund (the “Funds”),  as of July 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting Integrity Managed Portfolios as of July 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the one-half year period shown below and held for the entire one-half year period.

 

Actual expenses - The section in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns together with the amount you invested to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an account value of $8,600 divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class in the column entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes - The section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)

 

Viking Fund Management, LLC (“Viking” or “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”), the Fund’s underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, LLC (“IFS”), the Fund’s transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC (“Corridor”), the Fund’s sponsor.

 

The approval and 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 October 31, 2016, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Fund, renewed the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Funds and Viking. 

 

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 renewed the Advisory Agreement.  In determining whether it was appropriate to renew 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 renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission directives relating to the renewal of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

 

 

(a)

the nature and quality of services to be provided by the adviser to the fund;

 

 

 

 

(b)

the various personnel furnishing such services and their duties and qualifications;

 

 

 

 

(c)

the relevant fund’s investment performance as compared to standardized industry performance data;

 

 

 

 

(d)

the adviser’s costs and profitability of furnishing the investment management services to the fund;

 

 

 

 

(e)

the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger and the sharing thereof with the fund;

 

 

 

 

(f)

an analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds;

 

 

 

 

(g)

the expense ratios of the applicable fund as compared to data for comparable funds; and

 

 

 

 

(h)

information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds.

 

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of each 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 Funds, 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 each 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 each Fund.  In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements involving 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. 

 

The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement:

 

Nature, extent and quality of services: The Investment Adviser currently provides services to eleven funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds.  The experience and expertise of the Investment Adviser is attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Funds’ future performance. They have a strong culture of compliance and provide quality services. The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser had historically been, and continues to be, adequate and appropriate.

 

Various personnel furnishing such services and their duties and qualifications: The Portfolio Manager of the Fund has numerous years of experience in the advisory and money management area adding significant expertise to the Adviser of the Fund. A detailed biography of the portfolio manager was presented to the Trustees.  This information is disclosed in the prospectus and/or SAI of the Fund.

 


 

Investment performance: Upon a review of the total return history and category rankings of each Fund, the Trustees deemed the performance of each Fund to be satisfactory.  In addition, each of the Funds has been meeting its investment objective.

 

As of July 31, 2016, the risk for: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was average for the 3 and 5-year time periods.  It had a below average risk for the 10-year period; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was above average for the 3 and 5-year time periods.  It had average risk for the 10-year period; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was above average for the 3 and 5-year periods, and high for the 10-year time period; (4) New Hampshire Municipal Fund was low for the 3, 5, and 10-year time periods; (5) Maine Municipal Fund was average for the 3 and 5–year time periods.  It had below average risk for the 10-year period.

 

As of July 31, 2016, the Fund return rating for: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was average for the 3, 5, and 10-year time periods; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was average for the 3, 5, and 10-year time periods; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was average for the 3, 5 and 10-year periods; (4) New Hampshire Municipal Fund was below average for the 3 and 5-year periods, and low for the 10-year time period; (5) Maine Municipal Fund was below average for the 3, 5, and 10-year time periods.

 

As of July 31, 2016, the Fund performance for: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund returns for the 1, 3, 5 and 10-year periods were below its index.  The returns for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods were above its median classification, and at its median classification for the 10-year period; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were below its index. The returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were above its median classification; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were below its index. Its returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were above its median classification; (4) New Hampshire Municipal Fund returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were below its index and the returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were at or near its median classification; (5) Maine Municipal Fund returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were below its index, and the returns for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods were at or near its median classification.

 

Profitability: In connection with its review of fees, the Board also considered the profitability of Viking for its advisory activities. In this regard, the Board reviewed information regarding the finances of Corridor and Viking. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services provided.

 

Economies of scale: The Board discussed the benefits for the Funds as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as each of the Funds grow larger, but the size of the Funds has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale.  The advisory fees are structured appropriately based on the size of the Fund.  The Adviser has indicated that a new advisory fee structure may be looked at if a Fund reaches an asset level where it could benefit from economies of scale.

 

Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds: A comparison of the management fees charged by the Advisor seemed reasonable to the Trustees when compared to similar funds in objective and size. The Adviser is voluntarily waiving advisory fees to a certain degree due to the small size of the Funds.

 

Expense ratios of the applicable fund as compared to data for comparable funds: Each of the Fund’s net expense ratios of 0.98% was comparable to slightly above the average expense ratio of other funds of similar objective and size.

 

Information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds: The Board noted that the Adviser does not realize material direct benefits from its relationship with the Fund.  The Adviser does not participate in any soft dollar arrangements from securities trading in the Integrity Managed Portfolios.

 

In voting unanimously to renew 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 Viking, the strategic plan involving the Funds, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Funds.  They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the renewal of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of each of the Funds and its shareholders.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest –Investment Adviser

 

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account.  More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple funds are presented with the following potential conflicts:

 

The management of multiple funds may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each fund.  The management of multiple funds and accounts also may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts.

 

 

Ÿ

The appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Investment Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one fund but not all funds with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.  The management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest; there is no assurance that the Funds' code of ethics will adequately address such conflicts.  One of the portfolio manager's numerous responsibilities is to assist in the sale of Fund shares.  The compensation of Monte Avery, Shannon Radke, and Josh Larson (the “Portfolio Manager” of the Funds), is based on salary paid every other week.  The Portfolio Managers are not compensated for client retention.  In addition, Corridor sponsors a 401(K) plan for all its employees. This plan is funded by employee elective deferrals and a match up to 6% by Corridor of the employees gross pay.

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

With respect to securities transactions for the Funds, the Investment Adviser determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with the duty to seek best execution of the transaction.  The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Funds. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Funds may outperform the securities selected for the Funds.

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Although the Portfolio Manager generally does not trade securities in his own personal account, each of the Funds has adopted a code of ethics that, among other things, permits personal trading by employees under conditions where it has been determined that such trades would not adversely impact client accounts.  Nevertheless, the management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, and there is no assurance that these codes of ethics will adequately address such conflicts.

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Shannon D. Radke is a Governor, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Corridor.  He owns membership interests of approximately 9.8% in Corridor.  He initially received membership interests, without a cash investment, in exchange for contributions to Corridor (including experience in the mutual fund industry and personal guaranties of bank financing) and, in addition, in exchange for his interest in Viking. Mr. Radke also purchased a portion of his membership interests in Corridor.  Certain other current employees of Corridor own, in the aggregate, approximately 29%-30% of the total membership interests in Corridor, with those employees individually owning an interest of 0.01% to 2.02%. They initially received their membership interests in exchange for their experience and role in the operations of Corridor; some have since purchased a portion of their membership interests.


 

 

The Investment Adviser and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures, which are designed to address these types of conflicts.  However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

 

 


 

 

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS (unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees (“Board”) of the Funds consists of four Trustees (the “Trustees”).
