JOHNSON MUTUAL FUNDS
December 31, 2014

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present you with the Johnson Mutual Funds’ December 31, 2014 Annual Report. On the following pages, we have provided commentary on the performance of each of the Funds for 2014 as well as the relative performance compared to an appropriate index. The remainder of the report provides the holdings of each Johnson Mutual Fund as well as other financial data and notes.

2014 was another good year for U.S. stocks and the sixth in a row of positive returns for the S&P 500 Index. The index has now posted double-digit returns in five of the last six years, with 2011 the lone exception. After a major move higher of 32% in 2013, expectations were somewhat reduced coming into the year. A painful January seemed to validate those forecasts, but the market proved resilient, just as it has many times over the course of the nearly six-year-old bull market. 2014 was more volatile than 2013, which was a remarkably calm year in which the stock market rose steadily higher. There were five separate pullbacks in 2014, but none was large enough to qualify as a correction, defined as a decline of 10%. Each of these pullbacks quickly reversed, and in the end the S&P 500 Index gained 13.7% in 2014, an impressive number given the plethora of obstacles along the way.

In general, U.S. stocks were the best place to invest yet again, as international indices were weighed down by Europe and emerging market weakness. Mid cap stocks generally kept pace with large caps, but small caps fell behind in the spring and failed to catch up. However, after being down as much as 9% on a year-to-date basis in October, a late rally propelled the Russell 2000 Index to a gain of 4.9% by year’s end.

Interest rates had been rising in the latter half of 2013, and with the economy growing at a decent pace rates were widely expected to continue along that path. Despite these expectations, interest rates fell and bonds delivered strong returns. Oil prices were a major theme in the second half of 2014. Prices began falling in the summer, then fell sharply in the fourth quarter to finish the year below $54, a decline of 45%. Lower oil prices have a significant impact on international relations as well as the global economy, affecting strategies of countries and companies alike. Overall, lower oil prices will likely prove to be a net benefit for consumer economies such as the U.S. Even before the plunge in oil prices, the U.S. had begun to stand out among developed market economies, and recent data is confirming the trend.

Looking ahead to 2015, oil market volatility, central bank policy changes, economic divergences, and geopolitical tension are just a few of the ingredients that could incite further volatility. In addition, many stock indices are at or near record highs. None of that necessarily precludes another positive year for stocks. We are still finding some attractive opportunities, but given the impressive gains over the past several years there is less “low-hanging fruit.” Rising valuations and earnings growth have both contributed to the bull market that began in 2009. But with valuations now at higher levels, earnings growth will be an increasingly important driver of stock returns.

We will continue to focus our stock selection on solid companies with attractive growth prospects. We expect interest rates to remain low by historical standards, but with the Fed poised to announce the first rate hike in 2015, rates should move higher over the coming years. Despite our muted fixed income return forecasts, high quality bonds still offer a good hedge to market risks and serve to reduce overall volatility within a diversified portfolio. As we head into the New Year, we remain steadfast in our commitment to construct high quality, diversified investment portfolios tailored to the individualized needs of our clients.

We want you to know how much we appreciate the confidence you have placed in us for your investment needs. As always, please feel free to call us at (513) 661-3100 or (800) 541-0170 with your comments or questions. Thank you.

Sincerely,

JOHNSON EQUITY INCOME FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The Johnson Equity Income Fund gained 7.73% in 2014, trailing the Standard & Poors 500 Index (S&P 500) return of 13.69%.

Though modestly outperforming during the first half of the year through June, significant movements in the U.S. Dollar, oil prices, and U.S. interest rates negatively impacted the Fund’s relative performance in the second half of the year. For the year, both sector allocations and stock selection contributed negatively to relative performance against the S&P 500. Stock selection accounted for the majority of the underperformance. The Fund was negatively impacted by having no allocation to the top-performing Utilities sector, which benefitted greatly from declining U.S. interest rates gaining 29% during the year. An underweight position in the Health Care sector, which was the second best performing sector, gaining over 25% for the year, and an overweight position in the worst-performing Energy sector, which declined nearly 8% on the year, were also significant negative contributors. An overweight position in the Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors, and an underweighted position in the Consumer Discretion sector, positively impacted performance.

Stock selection in the Health Care, Information Technology, Consumer Staples, and Industrials sectors impacted the Fund most negatively. Owens & Minor, relative underweight positions in Apple, SAP, Qualcomm, Emerson, Dover, Nestle, and Unilever, were some of the holdings accounting for the negative attribution. Although Apple was the best performing holding in the Fund, the stock was one of the largest negative contributors in relative terms due to the underweight position in the name versus its S&P 500 weighting. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretion and Energy sectors contributed positively to relative performance. Nordstrom, TJX, and Target outperformed both the sector and the S&P 500 during the year. Other strong performers included Cisco Systems, Microsoft, Teleflex, and Norfolk-Southern.

New stocks purchased by the Fund during the year included PartnerRe, EverBank, TJX, Hershey, and Zimmer Holdings. Stocks sold by the Fund included Allstate, Becton Dickinson, Williams Companies, Kellogg, 3M, PNC Bank, U.S. Bancorp, Teleflex, and Eaton. These stocks were sold due to their valuations exceeding our fair value estimates. Absolute valuations of individual stocks across the market continue to be at the high end of historical ranges making it difficult to find value. This resulted in the Fund having nearly 6% in cash at the end of the year.

JOHNSON GROWTH FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The Johnson Growth Fund gained 11.75% in 2014, which trailed the return of 13.69% for the Standard & Poors 500 Index (S&P 500).

The Fund owns stocks in seven of the ten sectors within the S&P 500. For the year, the Fund outperformed in only three of those sectors. In general, stocks with less exposure to international markets performed the best. The best performing sector relative to the market was Health Care. Biotechnology stocks were strong performers, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals was the best performing stock in the Fund. Mednax, Actavis and Teleflex were other positive contributors in Health Care. Despite the 50% plus selloff in oil in the second half of the year, the Fund managed to have positive relative performance in the Energy sector. Baker Hughes, which is being acquired by Halliburton, and EOG Resources were the primary contributors to the Energy outperformance. The Fund also showed strong relative performance in Consumer Discretion-led by Nordstrom, TJX Companies and Disney. We believe consumers are feeling more confident about the economy as the employment picture has improved, but remain selective about where they choose to spend.

The worst performing sector relative to the S&P 500 was Industrials, where the oil selloff and the strength of the dollar sparked fears of a drop in capital spending and lower revenues. Stocks exposed to energy infrastructure development, such as Dover and Fluor, were hit particularly hard. However, 3M, which is less dependent on the level of economic activity, performed well. The Fund also underperformed in the technology sector, as weakness in Google and SAP offset strong performance from Apple and Fortinet. The Fund also lagged in Consumer Staples, as Nestle and The Fresh Market had positive absolute returns, but both trailed the returns of the sector. CVS performed very well as the company continued to do well in its pharmaceutical benefit management business.

The Fund has its largest overweight positions in the Industrial and Technology sectors. We would expect to remain overweight in Technology given the solid growth opportunities we are finding in that sector. The weakness in some of the more cyclical names in the Industrials sector has made many of these companies much more attractive on a valuation basis, but fundamentals may remain somewhat weak given their exposure to weaker international markets. The largest underweight position is in the Financials sector. The Fund has no weight in the Telecommunications, Materials and Utility sectors.

JOHNSON OPPORTUNITY FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The Johnson Opportunity Fund had a total return of 4.37% in 2014, lagging both the Russell 2500 Index’s 7.07% return and the Russell Midcap Index’s 13.22% return. In May, 2014, the Johnson Disciplined Mid Cap Fund (JMIDX) was renamed the Johnson Opportunity Fund (JOPPX), and the Russell 2500, a well-recognized index for SMID-cap funds was adopted as the primary benchmark. The Fund’s strategic shift during the year into a higher allocation of smaller-cap stocks was poorly timed in retrospect, as small-cap stocks underperformed large-cap stocks in 2014 by their largest margin since 1998. The Fund also held a lower weight than the index in two of the best performing industries, Biotechnology and Real Estate Investment Trusts, which challenged relative performance.

The top two contributors for the Fund in 2013, Nu Skin Enterprises and Herbalife Ltd., were its two worst performers in 2014. These multi-level marketing companies continue to be controversial stocks that face regulatory risk and heavy short-selling, but the business models generate high levels of cash flow and valuations are very low, if the risks do not materialize. A plunge in crude oil prices during the second half of the year and worries about slowing international growth seemed to spark capital spending fears. While the Fund’s Energy sector holdings have been small, stocks of other companies with business lines exposure to slowing demand for energy infrastructure development were among the more negative contributors, including Flotek Industries, Flowserve, and Powell Industries.

The Fund’s top performing stocks were less dependent on the macroeconomic environment. VCA Antech, an animal healthcare company, was the top contributor as demand for its hospital and laboratory services grew and operational performance improvements materialized. Apparel-related operators, Foot Locker and Hanesbrands, were notable positive contributors to the Fund as these familiar consumer companies were successful in rejuvenating sales growth and improving profit margins. F5 Networks, a computer data security provider, continued to see strong demand for its products and gained over 40% as growth accelerated. Also, CareFusion shares surged as it agreed in October to be acquired by Becton Dickinson for a sizable premium.

While the increased allocation to small-cap stocks did not help performance in 2014, we believe that, in the long run, widening the opportunity set to include smaller company stocks will enhance the performance potential compared to the Fund’s previous mid-cap objective. The Fund’s focus on buying quality companies at low valuations is a strategy that is best aligned with a long-term investment philosophy. Small-cap stock valuations have improved following the 2014 underperformance, and we are continuing to look for opportunities to increase exposure there.

JOHNSON REALTY FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The Johnson Realty Fund posted a rate of return of 28.92% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a return of 28.03% for the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust index (NAREIT Index). REITs added on to the strong rally in the first half of 2014, and were one of the best performing asset class in 2014. They outperformed the broader equity market, as defined by the Standard & Poors 500 Index (S&P 500), which was up 13.69%. The primary drivers were the continued decline in interest rates positively impacting the capital structures, the belief that the domestic economy would continue to improve and finally the desire to hold real assets to protect against inflation.

In our last semi-annual update we discussed why REITs have been one of the main beneficiaries of the low interest environment. This environment persisted unexpectedly into 2014. However, when interest rates rise, other yield investments start to gain greater appeal and the cost of capital for REITs rise. REITs historically perform best in flat to declining interest rate environments, which is the environment we have seen over the past many years. The Federal Reserve has indicated that their zero interest rates for longer policy will be concluding in 2015. Rising interest rates provide near term headwind for REITs, but can be offset by improving economic activity.

The Fund experienced modestly better performance than the NAREIT index. Overall property type allocation was fairly neutral. Our slight overweight in Apartments and Self-Storage were offset by a small overweight position in Office/Industrial. Apartments were the best returning property type, up 40.04%, with Self-Storage up third best at 32.50%. Office/Industrial properties were near the bottom of relative performance, but still up 24.26%.

Overall security selection was a slight positive. The Realty Fund owned four of the top five names, those being Essex Property Trust (+48%), Macerich (+46%), General Growth (+43%) and Equity Residential (+42%). Conversely, we avoided the two worst performing names in the NAREIT universe.

REITs continue to possess somewhat lower correlation relative to other asset classes, which provides portfolio diversification benefits. We would expect as interest rates rise, investors that had sought yield in REITS may leave the asset class. While initially higher interest rates are indicative of a better economy, longer term, the increase in the cost of capital of REITS makes them less attractive. The fund’s philosophy is to remain fully invested. We will continue to focus on high quality companies possessing better balance sheet which are in a better position to maintain or increase dividends in the future. We believe that the Fund’s diversified approach to the real estate market will provide investors with asset class like returns.

JOHNSON INTERNATIONAL FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The Johnson International Fund had a total return of -1.16% in 2014, outperforming both the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index’s -3.87% return and the MSCI EAFE Index’s -4.90% return. It was a lackluster year overall for international stock markets, as they underperformed a strong U.S. market by the widest gap since 1997, magnified by currency translation. The U.S. Dollar appreciated meaningfully against a trade-weighted basket of foreign currencies, up over 12%, as market participants favored the U.S.’s sturdier economic growth, higher bond yields, and more stable political environment.

One contributor to the Fund’s outperformance was effective positioning within the Health Care sector, which was the top performing global sector in 2014. The sector was relatively immune to much of what plagued international stocks last year, namely falling commodity prices and sluggish global growth. In addition, a pick-up in merger and acquisition activity was a catalyst for the sector, sparked by the so-called “tax inversion” strategy, where a U.S. company acquires a foreign company in a lower corporate tax locale and then moves the headquarters there to take advantage of the lower rate. U.K.-based AstraZeneca, a Fund holding, reportedly received an unsolicited approach from U.S.-based Pfizer in April with the implied intent of an inversion. In June, Ireland-based Shire PLC, the Fund’s top contributor in 2014, received a takeover offer from U.S.-based AbbVie. U.S. political pressure quickly surfaced to discourage such moves, and AbbVie ultimately walked away from their deal. Still, such activity seemed to be a catalyst for rediscovering the value in international health care stocks, and the Fund benefitted from its pharmaceutical holdings. Information Technology was another top contributing sector for the Fund, led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, which gained over 30%. Auto-related stocks were another category winner, including Sensata Technologies Holding N.V, Magna International, and Tata Motor Limited.

The Fund is very diversified by country, but did benefit marginally from its relative country weights. The worst performing country in 2014 was Russia, which faced Western economic sanctions in response to its threats toward Ukraine and also was harmed by a sharp drop in oil prices during the second half of the year. The Fund’s sole holding in Russia, Gazprom OAO, an oil & gas company, was its worst performer, falling 45% in the year. Other oil and commodity producers, such as Petroleo Brasileiro SA and Vale SA, were also among the Fund’s worst performers. In addition, most of the European markets were weak, especially in the periphery, as their economic struggles continued and the U.S. Dollar appreciated rapidly against the Euro. Conversely, Southeast Asia was one of the strongest regions, with markets in India, Indonesia, and Thailand all outperforming meaningfully, with minimal negative impact from foreign currency translation.

After such a divergent year, we expect international markets to begin to perform better relative to the U.S. market in the coming year, as foreign central banks become even more accommodative and cheap relative valuations become more appreciated by investors.

JOHNSON FIXED INCOME FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The Johnson Fixed Income Fund provided a total return of 6.48% for 2014, compared to a 5.97% return for the Barclays Capital Aggregate Index. Weak global growth and declining International bond yields pressured long maturity U.S. rates lower resulting in the Fund’s strong returns in 2014, despite gradually improving U.S. economic conditions and an end to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) aggressive bond buying program.

Bond yields were elevated to begin the year, and the Fund increased its emphasis on long maturity Treasury and select corporate bonds. Longer maturity bond yields fell throughout the year while shorter maturity yields rose resulting in a notable flattening of the yield curve, which often happens prior to and during a Fed tightening of monetary policy. The Fund’s positioning was constructed to benefit from such a curve flattening and aided the Fund’s relative performance versus its benchmark.

Meanwhile, credit mostly lagged during the year with yield spreads versus Treasuries moving wider. Sector performance was uneven though, with many financials tightening while energy related industrial credits widened as the price of oil fell precipitously toward the end of the year. During the year, high quality credits also outperformed low quality credits. The Fund’s overweight to financials and avoidance of most energy related names along with its focus on higher quality sectors of the bond market was a significant driver of performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark during the year. More than half of the Fund’s bond allocation is to investment-grade rated corporate securities and an additional 10% is invested in municipal bonds. This combined allocation is greater than the Fund’s benchmark index and a key reason why the yield is higher in the Fund. Over time, this yield advantage is critical to the Fund’s ability to outperform its benchmark. It can also be a helpful strategy to protect against rising market rates.

Looking forward into 2015, we expect the market will likely start to anticipate the first Fed rate hike since 2006. Growth in the U.S. has positive momentum with GDP running at its briskest pace this cycle along with yearly job growth putting in its best showing since 1999. The continuation of this trend is likely to lead to a tightening of credit spreads and the Fund’s overweight to corporate bonds should benefit as a result. The Fund has lowered its duration to a neutral stance relative to its benchmark and added securities such as floating rate and step-up coupon bonds which will also help serve as a cushion to higher short term rates. With inflation expectations extremely low due to the decline in oil, the Fund has added a position in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, which will benefit from declining slack in the U.S. economy along with reflationary global Central Bank policies. Finally, tempering some of the potential for higher long term rates, global yields will likely remain lower than in the U.S. which will maintain flows into the U.S. bond market and likely continue the trend of a flattening yield curve. The Fund’s “barbell” positioning will continue to benefit from this trend and serve as a defensive cushion as the Fed begins the process of normalizing interest rate policy.

JOHNSON MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The Johnson Municipal Income Fund provided a total return of 5.41% during 2014 compared to 2.81% for the Barclays Capital 5-Year General Obligation Municipal Bond Index.

Municipal yields fell during the year leading to the Fund’s positive return with the Fund’s emphasis on higher yielding and longer duration securities relative to its benchmark accounting for the outperformance. The Fund’s laddered maturity structure also assisted with performance as the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on longer maturity bonds decreasing the most. While the benchmark is comprised solely of 4 – 6 year maturity securities, the Fund is constructed with a laddered maturity profile of bonds primarily due within 1 to 15 years.

New issue supply of municipal securities was weak for most of 2014, continuing a trend that has seen outstanding tax-exempt municipal debt decline by over $100 billion since 2010 to approximately $3.6 trillion. Meanwhile, demand for municipal bonds increased in 2014 with positive flows into the mutual fund space as investors adjusted to the higher marginal tax rates passed in 2013 as part of the Fiscal Cliff negotiations. This combination of low supply and increasing demand helped fuel the rally, particularly in longer maturity bonds. Defaults in the municipal sector remained low on an absolute basis despite headlines surrounding the Detroit bankruptcy and financial difficulties in Puerto Rico. Tax revenues for many municipalities continue to show improvement, with the vast majority of states reporting increased revenue. However, we continue to expect lower quality issuers, primarily in a handful of states such as California, Illinois and particularly the territory of Puerto Rico, to face financial pressure. The Fund avoids such securities maintaining a strict focus on high quality municipal issuers. Over 70% of the securities in the Fund are rated AA or higher. Furthermore, the Fund is diversified by issuer, sector and state with approximately 28% of its assets in states other than Ohio.

Looking forward into 2015, we expect that technical factors should remain supportive, but rising yields may mute returns. The Federal Reserve completed its Quantitative Easing program in October and the market has begun to look toward the first Fed rate hike since 2006. Although new issue supply may increase as issuers take advantage of low interest rates, higher marginal tax rates should keep the municipal interest exemption in demand and any increases in supply should be easily absorbed by the market. While interest rates are poised to increase as the economy continues to gradually improve, municipals have historically outperformed other bond market alternatives during similar periods. We still see value in the space, as the ratios of municipal bond yields to comparable maturity treasury yields remain near attractive levels. Valuation remains favorable for a laddered maturity portfolio relative to the benchmark while the Fund’s strong yield advantage should also aid performance in 2015.

The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows:

 
Equity Income Fund   Above average dividend income and long-term capital growth
Growth Fund   Long-term capital growth
Opportunity Fund   Long-term capital growth
Realty Fund   Above average dividend income and long-term capital growth
International Fund   Long-term capital growth
Fixed Income Fund   A high level of income over the long-term consistent with preservation of capital
Municipal Income Fund   A high level of federally tax-free income over the long-term consistent with preservation of capital

The Equity Income Fund, Growth Fund, Opportunity Fund, Realty Fund, International Fund, and Fixed Income Fund are diversified. The Municipal Income Fund is non-diversified and invests primarily in debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of Ohio.

2)     Security Valuation and Transactions

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis.

Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Investment Adviser are valued as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) establish a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

¨ Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
¨ Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
¨ Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

2)     Security Valuation and Transactions, continued

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

Equity Securities (Common Stock, Real Estate Investment Trusts). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate Bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using quotations from pricing vendors, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations for similar securities (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they would be categorized in Level 3.

Municipal Bonds. Municipal Bonds are normally valued using quotations from pricing vendors that incorporate observable market data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Municipal Bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Government Securities. U.S. government securities including U.S. Treasury Obligations are normally valued using market approach valuation techniques that incorporate observable market data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Agency Securities. U.S. agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage-backed securities. Agency issued debt securities are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. government securities. Mortgage-backed securities are generally valued based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establishes a benchmark yield, and develops an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Depending on market activity levels and whether quotations or other data are used, these securities are typically categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certificates of Deposit. Certificates of Deposit which are traded on the open market are normally valued using a market approach valuation technique that incorporates observable market data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Certificates of Deposit are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Preferred Stocks. Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Money Market. Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds (notated throughout these financials as cash equivalents), are generally priced at the ending net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds did not hold any investments at any time during the reporting period in which unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value. Therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 Securities is included for this reporting period. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2014, no securities were transferred into or out of Level 1 or Level 2. If any transfers between levels would occur, they would be reflected as of the end of the period.

In accordance with GAAP, the Funds are required to enhance the disclosures relating to transactions in derivatives and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Funds’ financial position, performance, and cash flows. The Funds did not engage in any derivative transactions as of or during the year ended December 31, 2014.

3)     Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Income and Realized Capital Gains and Losses on Investment Securities:

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are recorded net of foreign taxes. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the interest method. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investment or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distributions information available. Gains and losses on paydowns of mortgage-backed securities are reflected in interest income on the Statements of Operations. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.

Income Taxes:

It is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, after the end of the calendar year, any remaining taxable income to comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) available to registered investment companies (“RICs”). Each year the Funds intend to continue to qualify as RICs under Subchapter M of the Code by making distributions as noted above, and complying with the other requirements applicable to RICs. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required.

3)     Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes:

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2014, 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. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2011.

Distributions

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Realty Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Income Fund intend to distribute net investment income on a calendar quarter basis. The Equity Income, Growth, Opportunity and International Funds intend to distribute net investment income, if any, at least once a year. The Funds intend to distribute their net realized long-term capital gains and their net realized short-term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Funds.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Funds made the following reclassifications to increase (decrease) the components of the net assets:

     
  Paid in Capital   Accumulated
Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)
  Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
Equity Income Fund   $     —     $ 5,376     $ (5,376 ) 
Growth Fund     (29,303 )      7,750       21,553  
Opportunity Fund     (37,124 )      31,035       6,089  
Realty Fund           88,222       (88,222 ) 
Fixed Income Fund     (1,262 )      391,846       (390,584 ) 
Municipal Income Fund           20,189       (20,189 ) 

4)     Investment Advisory Agreements

The investment advisory agreements provide that the Adviser will pay all of the Funds’ operating expenses, excluding brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as (a) interest and (b) dividend expenses on securities sold short), any 12b-1 fees, and extraordinary expenses.

The Adviser received management fees for the year ended December 31, 2014, as indicated below.

5)     Related Party Transactions

All officers and one trustee of the Trust are employees of the Adviser. Total compensation for the independent Trustees as a group was $43,875 for the year ended December 31, 2014, and as a group they received no additional compensation from the Trust. Compensation of the Trustees was paid by the Adviser.

The Adviser is not a registered broker-dealer of securities and thus does not receive commissions on trades made on behalf of the Funds.

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. At December 31, 2014, client accounts managed by the Adviser with full advisory discretion, held in aggregate the following:

     
Equity Income Fund     63.82 %      International Fund       43.52 % 
Growth Fund     30.28 %      Fixed Income Fund       83.17 % 
Opportunity Fund     65.14 %      Municipal Income Fund       97.11 % 
Realty Fund     70.25 %                   

Johnson Financial, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser. Johnson Financial, Inc. provides transfer agency, fund accounting, and administration services to the Funds. Subsequent to the fiscal year end, fund accounting services will be provided by Ultimus Fund Solutions, Cincinnati, Ohio. These services are paid for by the Adviser.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8)     Security Transactions

As of December 31, 2014, the composition of unrealized appreciation (the excess of fair value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over fair value) was as follows:

       
Fund   Cost of Securities   Appreciation   Depreciation   Net Appreciation
Johnson Equity Income Fund   $ 121,461,653     $ 29,674,019     $ (884,203 )    $ 28,789,816  
Johnson Growth Fund     39,124,507       14,978,492       (737,145 )      14,241,347  
Johnson Opportunity Fund     36,263,897       9,805,620       (1,192,737 )      8,612,883  
Johnson Realty Fund     5,818,579       5,287,688       (58,879 )      5,228,809  
Johnson International Fund     15,673,018       3,980,126       (1,425,533 )      2,554,593  
Johnson Fixed Income Fund     215,463,918       10,329,932       (1,131,521 )      9,198,411  
Johnson Municipal Income Fund     56,311,480       2,334,320       (93,385 )      2,240,935  

The difference between book value and tax value unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and post-October losses, as well as the mark-to-market on passive Foreign Investment Companies.

9)     Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

10)     Distributions to Shareholders

The tax character of the distributions paid is as follows:

           
  Tax year   Ordinary

  Net Realized

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014

10)     Distributions to Shareholders, continued

As of December 31, 2014, the following Funds had capital loss carryovers which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. The capital loss carryovers will expire as follows:

       
  To Expire in
2016
  Indefinite
Long-Term
  Indefinite
Short-Term
  Total Capital
Loss Carryover
Johnson Growth Fund   $ 1,132,938*                       $ 1,132,938  
Johnson International Fund              20,587       260,741       281,328  

* Due to IRC Section 382 limitations, utilization of these carryforwards is limited to a maximum of $566,469 per year.

As of December 31, 2014, the Johnson Growth Fund utilized prior year capital loss carryovers of $566,469, and the Johnson International Fund utilized prior year capital loss carryovers of $349,135.

As of December 31, 2014, the International Fund deferred post-October capital losses in the amount of $31,397 and late year net investment losses in the amount of $36,040.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

As of December 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

         
  Undistributed
Ordinary
Income
  Capital Loss
Carryover
  Long-Term
Capital Gain
  Unrealized
Appreciation
  Total
Distributable
Earnings on a
tax basis
Johnson Equity Income Fund   $ 7,919           $ 2,999,751     $ 28,789,816     $ 31,797,486  
Johnson Growth Fund           (1,132,938 )            14,241,347       13,108,409

DISCLOSURE OF EXPENSES (Unaudited)
December 31, 2014

Shareholders of the Funds incur ongoing operating expenses consisting solely of management fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and to compare these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in the Funds on June 30, 2014 and held through December 31, 2014.

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid by a shareholder for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). For the Equity Income, Growth, Opportunity, Realty and International Funds, the expense ratio is 1.00%; for the Fixed Income Fund, the expense ratio is 0.85%; and for the Municipal Income Fund, the expense ratio is 0.65%.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Johnson Mutual Funds Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Johnson Equity Income Fund, Johnson Growth Fund, Johnson Opportunity Fund (formerly Johnson Disciplined Mid-Cap Fund), Johnson Realty Fund, Johnson International Fund, Johnson Fixed Income Fund and Johnson Municipal Income Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Johnson Mutual Funds Trust, as of December 31, 2014, 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 December 31, 2014, 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 as of December 31, 2014, 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.

JOHNSON MUTUAL FUNDS
December 31, 2014

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present you with the Johnson Mutual Funds’ December 31, 2014 Annual Report. On the following pages, we have provided commentary on the performance of each of the Funds for 2014 as well as the relative performance compared to an appropriate index. The remainder of the report provides the holdings of each Johnson Mutual Fund as well as other financial data and notes.

2014 was another good year for U.S. stocks and the sixth in a row of positive returns for the S&P 500 Index. The index has now posted double-digit returns in five of the last six years, with 2011 the lone exception. After a major move higher of 32% in 2013, expectations were somewhat reduced coming into the year. A painful January seemed to validate those forecasts, but the market proved resilient, just as it has many times over the course of the nearly six-year-old bull market. 2014 was more volatile than 2013, which was a remarkably calm year in which the stock market rose steadily higher. There were five separate pullbacks in 2014, but none was large enough to qualify as a correction, defined as a decline of 10%. Each of these pullbacks quickly reversed, and in the end the S&P 500 Index gained 13.7% in 2014, an impressive number given the plethora of obstacles along the way.

In general, U.S. stocks were the best place to invest yet again, as international indices were weighed down by Europe and emerging market weakness. Mid cap stocks generally kept pace with large caps, but small caps fell behind in the spring and failed to catch up. However, after being down as much as 9% on a year-to-date basis in October, a late rally propelled the Russell 2000 Index to a gain of 4.9% by year’s end.

Interest rates had been rising in the latter half of 2013, and with the economy growing at a decent pace rates were widely expected to continue along that path. Despite these expectations, interest rates fell and bonds delivered strong returns. Oil prices were a major theme in the second half of 2014. Prices began falling in the summer, then fell sharply in the fourth quarter to finish the year below $54, a decline of 45%. Lower oil prices have a significant impact on international relations as well as the global economy, affecting strategies of countries and companies alike. Overall, lower oil prices will likely prove to be a net benefit for consumer economies such as the U.S. Even before the plunge in oil prices, the U.S. had begun to stand out among developed market economies, and recent data is confirming the trend.

Looking ahead to 2015, oil market volatility, central bank policy changes, economic divergences, and geopolitical tension are just a few of the ingredients that could incite further volatility. In addition, many stock indices are at or near record highs. None of that necessarily precludes another positive year for stocks. We are still finding some attractive opportunities, but given the impressive gains over the past several years there is less “low-hanging fruit.” Rising valuations and earnings growth have both contributed to the bull market that began in 2009. But with valuations now at higher levels, earnings growth will be an increasingly important driver of stock returns.

We will continue to focus our stock selection on solid companies with attractive growth prospects. We expect interest rates to remain low by historical standards, but with the Fed poised to announce the first rate hike in 2015, rates should move higher over the coming years. Despite our muted fixed income return forecasts, high quality bonds still offer a good hedge to market risks and serve to reduce overall volatility within a diversified portfolio. As we head into the New Year, we remain steadfast in our commitment to construct high quality, diversified investment portfolios tailored to the individualized needs of our clients.

We want you to know how much we appreciate the confidence you have placed in us for your investment needs. As always, please feel free to call us at (513) 661-3100 or (800) 541-0170 with your comments or questions. Thank you.

Sincerely,

JIC INSTITUTIONAL BOND FUND I
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The JIC Institutional Bond Fund I provided a total return of 1.44% for 2014, compared to a 0.78% return for the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch 1 – 3 Year U.S. Corporate & Government Index. Gradually improving U.S. economic conditions and an end to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) aggressive bond buying program pressured short maturity yields slightly higher in 2014, despite weak global growth and falling inflation expectations.

Short maturity bond yields rose while intermediate maturity yields fell slightly for the year resulting in a notable flattening of the yield curve, which often happens prior to and during a Fed tightening of monetary policy. Most of the increase in short maturity yields was concentrated in the second half of the year as the Fed began to shift its monetary policy. The Fund benefitted from a longer duration stance than its benchmark index in the first half of 2014 and shorter duration stance in the second half. Also, the Fund maintains a much more diverse maturity structure than its benchmark index including bonds maturing beyond 3 years. Bonds with maturities greater than 3 years helped boost the relative performance of the Fund versus its benchmark index throughout the year.

Meanwhile, credit mostly lagged during the year with yield spreads versus Treasuries moving wider. Sector performance was uneven though, with many financials tightening while energy related industrial credits widened as the price of oil fell precipitously toward the end of the year. During the year, high quality credits also outperformed low quality credits. The Fund’s overweight to financials and avoidance of most energy related names along with its focus on higher quality sectors of the bond market was a significant driver of performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark during the year. More than half of the Fund’s bond allocation is to investment-grade rated corporate securities and an additional 7% is invested in municipal bonds. This combined allocation is greater than the Fund’s benchmark index and a key reason why the yield is higher in the Fund. Over time, this yield advantage is critical to the Fund’s ability to outperform its benchmark. It can also be a helpful strategy to protect against rising market rates.

Looking forward into 2015, we expect the market will likely start to anticipate the first Fed rate hike since 2006. Growth in the U.S. has positive momentum with GDP running at its briskest pace this cycle along with yearly job growth putting in its best showing since 1999. The continuation of this trend is likely to lead to a tightening of credit spreads and the Fund’s overweight to corporate bonds should benefit as a result. The Fund has lowered its duration to a slight underweight stance relative to its benchmark and added securities such as floating rate and step-up coupon bonds which will also help serve as a cushion to higher short term rates. With inflation expectations extremely low due to the decline in oil, the Fund has added a position in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, which will benefit from declining slack in the U.S. economy along with reflationary global Central Bank policies. Finally, tempering some of the potential for higher rates, global yields will likely remain lower than in the U.S. which will maintain flows into the U.S. bond market and likely continue the trend of a flattening yield curve.

JIC INSTITUTIONAL BOND FUND II
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The JIC Institutional Bond Fund II provided a total return of 4.31% for 2014, compared to a 3.13% return for the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government Credit Index. Weak global growth and declining International bond yields pressured long maturity U.S. rates lower in 2014, despite gradually improving U.S. economic conditions and an end to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) aggressive bond buying program.

Bond yields were elevated to begin the year, and the Fund increased its emphasis on long maturity Treasury and select corporate bonds. Longer maturity bond yields fell throughout the year while shorter maturity yields rose resulting in a notable flattening of the yield curve, which often happens prior to and during a Fed tightening of monetary policy. The Fund’s positioning was constructed to benefit from such a curve flattening and aided the Fund’s relative performance versus its benchmark.

Meanwhile, credit mostly lagged during the year with yield spreads versus Treasuries moving wider. Sector performance was uneven though, with many financials tightening while energy related industrial credits widened as the price of oil fell precipitously toward the end of the year. During the year, high quality credits also outperformed low quality credits. The Fund’s overweight to financials and avoidance of most energy related names along with its focus on higher quality sectors of the bond market was a significant driver of performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark during the year. More than half of the Fund’s bond allocation is to investment-grade rated corporate securities and an additional 10% is invested in municipal bonds.

Growth in the U.S. has positive momentum with GDP running at its briskest pace this cycle along with yearly job growth putting in its best showing since 1999. The continuation of this trend is likely to lead to a tightening of credit spreads and the Fund’s overweight to corporate bonds should benefit as a result. The Fund has lowered its duration to a neutral stance relative to its benchmark and added securities such as floating rate and step-up coupon bonds which will also help serve as a cushion to higher short term rates. With inflation expectations extremely low due to the decline in oil, the Fund has added a position in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, which will benefit from declining slack in the U.S. economy along with reflationary global Central Bank policies. Finally, tempering some of the potential for higher long term rates, global yields will likely remain lower than in the U.S. which will maintain flows into the U.S. bond market and likely continue the trend of a flattening yield curve. The Fund’s “barbell” positioning will continue to benefit from this trend and serve as a defensive cushion as the Fed begins the process of normalizing interest rate policy.

JIC INSTITUTIONAL BOND FUND III
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The JIC Institutional Bond Fund III provided a total return of 6.79% for 2014, compared to a 5.97% return for the Barclays Capital Aggregate Index. Weak global growth and declining International bond yields pressured long maturity U.S. rates lower resulting in the Fund’s strong returns in 2014, despite gradually improving U.S. economic conditions and an end to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) aggressive bond buying program.

Bond yields were elevated to begin the year, and the Fund increased its emphasis on long maturity Treasury and select corporate bonds.

JOHNSON ENHANCED RETURN FUND
Performance Review – December 31, 2014

  

The total return for the Johnson Enhanced Return Fund for 2014 was 14.42% compared to 13.69% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500 Index).

Large cap stock indices provided double digit returns in 2014 for the third consecutive year and the fifth in the past six years. There was more volatility during the year with several dips in stock valuations, but none of these was large enough to qualify as a “correction”, defined as a decline of 10% or more. The S&P 500 has not experienced such a drop since August of 2011, the fifth longest streak since 1950. During the year, equities rose despite numerous worries about the pace of global economic growth, geopolitical problems around the world, and the possibility that interest rates may rise in the future. The swift and sharp decline in oil prices in the final months of 2014 reflected both improvements in global supply of oil and worldwide economic concerns, and added to the uncertainties facing investors. Still, the broad stock market advanced to finish the year near its all-time high.

Growing global risks helped to keep most interest rates down during the year and the cost of carry on futures contracts within the Fund remain quite low. The performance of the Fund primarily resulted from the returns from futures contracts. The yield advantage of the bonds in the Fund over this carrying cost was a significant reason for the Fund’s outperformance. Good name selection within the bond portion of the portfolio was also additive to results. The yield spread on the corporate and municipal bonds owned by the Fund generally held steady or tightened compared to government securities despite market risks and global economic worries. Approximately two-thirds of the bonds held in the Fund are credit securities and all are rated investment-grade quality.

Despite weaker growth in many other economies, the U.S. economic engine seems to be gaining more traction. Following a weather induced dip in growth during the first quarter, quarterly growth improved substantially throughout the rest of the year. The gain in jobs was particularly notable with 2.9 million jobs added during the year, the strongest annual number since 1999. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve ended its bond buying program late in the year and seems to be preparing to slowly shift monetary policy. Based on recent Fed commentary and depending on the health of the economy, they may begin raising short term interest rates later in 2015. While this would raise the cost of carry in futures, it would also enhance the yield potential on the bonds held in the portfolio. We currently expect that any rate increases will be small and slow to build. However, during the past year we shortened the duration of the bond portfolio and emphasized more adjustable-rate and step-up coupon securities within the Fund.

JOHNSON MUTUAL FUNDS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014

1)     Organization

The JIC Institutional Bond Fund I, JIC Institutional Bond Fund II, JIC Institutional Bond Fund III (the “Bond Funds”) and Johnson Enhanced Return Fund (each individually a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of the Johnson Mutual Funds Trust (the “Trust”), and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as no-load, open-end investment companies. The Johnson Mutual Funds Trust was established as an Ohio business trust under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated September 30, 1992. The Bond Funds began offering their shares publicly on August 31, 2000. The Johnson Enhanced Return Fund began offering shares publicly on December 30, 2005. All Funds are managed by Johnson Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”).

The investment objective of the Bond Funds is a high level of income over the long term consistent with preservation of capital. The investment objective of the Johnson Enhanced Return Fund is to outperform the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Composite Stock Index, over a full market cycle.

2)     Security Valuation and Transactions

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis.

Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Investment Adviser are valued as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) establish a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

¨ Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
¨ Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
¨ Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Corporate Bonds. Corporate bonds are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using market approach valuation techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations for similar securities (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads

2)     Security Valuation and Transactions, continued

adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they will be categorized in Level 3.

U.S. Government Securities. U.S. government securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors. U.S. government securities, including U.S. Treasury Obligations, are normally valued using market approach valuation techniques that incorporate observable market data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Agency Securities. U.S. agency securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors. U.S. agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage-backed securities. Agency issued debt securities are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. government securities. Mortgage-backed securities are generally valued based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Depending on market activity levels and whether quotations or other data are used, these securities are typically categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Municipal Bonds. Municipal bonds are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors. Municipal Bonds are normally valued using a market approach valuation technique that incorporates observable market data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Municipal Bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Preferred Stocks. Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certificates of Deposit. Certificates of Deposit are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors. Certificates of Deposit which are traded on the open market are normally valued using a market approach valuation technique that incorporates observable market data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Certificates of Deposit are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Money Market. Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds (notated throughout these financials as cash equivalents), are generally priced at the ending net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.

Derivative Instruments. Listed derivatives, including futures contracts that are actively traded, are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014

2)     Security Valuation and Transactions, continued

The Funds did not hold any investments at any time during the reporting period in which unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value. Therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2014, no securities were transferred into or out of Level 1 or Level 2. If any transfers between levels would occur, they would be reflected as of the end of the period.

3)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Futures Contracts:

The Johnson Enhanced Return Fund invests in stock index futures (equity risk) only for the replication of returns, not speculation. The Fund enters into S&P 500 E-Mini contracts four times a year generally near the time the contracts would expire (contracts expire the third Friday of March, June, September and December). The contracts are generally held until it is time to roll into the next contracts. The average daily notional value for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $91,955,228. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the futures contract. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. The amount of the daily variation margin is reflected as an asset or liability within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, while the cumulative change in unrealized gain/loss on futures contracts is reported separately within the Statements of Operations. The Net Unrealized Gain on futures contracts, as of December 31, 2014, is presented separately within the components of next assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabialies. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss at the contract settlement date. A realized gain or loss is recognized when a contract is sold, and is the difference between the fair value of the contract at purchase and the fair value of the contract when sold. Realized gains/losses on futures contracts are reported separately within the Statements of Operations. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged asset, as well as the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

As of December 31, 2014, Cash Held at Broker represents cash held as collateral against the futures contracts, and is restricted from withdrawal. Net variation margin payable on futures contracts as of December 31, 2014 was $1,144,530.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities:

The Enhanced Return Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The Fund’s policy is to recognize a net asset/liability equal to the net variation margin for the futures contracts. As of December 31, 2014, the Fund only has one position and the variation margin applicable to that position is presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund has no master netting agreements in place as of December 31, 2014.

Investment Income and Realized Capital Gains and Losses on Investment Securities:

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the interest method. Gains and losses on paydowns of mortgage-backed securities are reflected in interest income on the Statements of Operations. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.

Income Taxes:

It is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, after the end of the calendar year, any remaining net investment income and net capital gains to comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code available to registered investment companies (“RICs”). Each year, each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code by making distributions as noted above and complying with other requirements applicable to RICs. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required.

3)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes:

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2014, 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. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2011.

Distributions:

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds intend to distribute net investment income on a calendar quarter basis. The Funds intend to distribute their net realized long-term capital gains and their net realized short-term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Funds.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Funds made the following reclassifications to increase (decrease) the components of the net assets:

     
  Paid in Capital   Accumulated Undistributed Net Investment Income   Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
JIC Institutional Bond Fund I   $     —     $ 95,478     $ (95,478 ) 
JIC Institutional Bond Fund II           103,484       (103,484 ) 
JIC Institutional Bond Fund III     (437 )      144,218       (143,781 ) 
Johnson Enhanced Return Fund           60,155       (60,155 ) 

4)     Investment Advisory Agreement

The investment advisory agreements provide that the Adviser will pay all of the Funds’ operating expenses, excluding brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs (such as (a) interest and (b) dividend expenses on securities sold short), any 12b-1 fees, and extraordinary expenses. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreements, each of the Bond Funds pays the Adviser a management fee at the annual rate of 0.30% (before the contractual waiver described below) of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which is accrued daily and paid monthly. The Johnson Enhanced Return Fund pays the Adviser a management fee at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser received management fees for the year ended December 31, 2014 as indicated below. The Adviser has agreed to waive a part of the management fee for the Bond Funds from a maximum of 0.30% to an effective fee ratio of 0.236%. This is a change from the fee for the prior period (May 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014) of 0.241%. The Adviser has the right to remove this fee waiver any time after April 30, 2015.

As of December 31, 2014, information regarding fees was as follows:

           
Fund   Fee   Fee Waiver   Effective Fee Ratio   Management Fee After Waiver   Contractual Waiver   Payable
JIC Institutional Bond Fund I     0.30 %      0.064 %      0.236 %    $ 190,453     $ 49,974     $ 16,769  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund II     0.30 %      0.064 %      0.236 %      185,797       48,752       16,983  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund III     0.30 %      0.064 %      0.236 %      176,480       46,307       15,836  
Johnson Enhanced Return Fund     0.35 %            0.35 %      323,600             31,177

5)     Related Party Transactions

All officers and one Trustee of the Trust are employees of the Adviser. Total compensation for the Independent Trustees as a group was $43,875 for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was paid by the Adviser, and as a group they received no additional compensation from the Trust. The Trust consists of eleven Funds: Johnson Equity Income Fund, Johnson Growth Fund, Johnson Opportunity Fund, Johnson Realty Fund, Johnson International Fund, Johnson Fixed Income Fund, Johnson Municipal Income Fund, JIC Institutional Bond Fund I, JIC Institutional Bond Fund II, JIC Institutional Bond Fund III and Johnson Enhanced Return Fund. The Adviser is not a registered broker-dealer of securities and thus does not receive commissions on trades made on behalf of the Funds. The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of December 31, 2014, Covie and Company owned in aggregate 89.76% of the JIC Institutional Bond Fund I, 93.45% of the JIC Institutional Bond Fund II, and 99.73% of the JIC Institutional Bond Fund III. At December 31, 2014, client accounts managed by the Adviser, with full advisory discretion, held in aggregate 83.87% of the Johnson Enhanced Return Fund.

Johnson Financial, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson Investment Counsel, Inc., the Adviser. Johnson Financial, Inc. provides transfer agency, fund accounting, and administration services to the Funds. Subsequent to the fiscal year end, fund accounting services will be provided by Ultimus Fund Solutions, Cincinnati, Ohio. These services are paid for by the Adviser.

8)     Security Transactions

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investment securities owned on December 31, 2014 was the same as identified cost for the JIC Institutional Bond Funds and the Enhanced Return Fund. As of December 31, 2014, the composition of unrealized appreciation (the excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value), excluding futures contracts, was as follows:

       
Fund   Tax Cost of Securities   Appreciation   Depreciation   Net Appreciation (Depreciation)
JIC Institutional Bond Fund I   $ 77,736,751     $ 415,260     $ (373,717 )    $ 41,543  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund II     77,830,191       1,734,455       (474,569 )      1,259,886  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund III     71,634,340       3,062,282       (470,573 )      2,591,709  
Johnson Enhanced Return Fund     93,082,507       288,108       (457,486 )      (169,378 ) 

9)     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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10)     Distributions to Shareholders

The tax character of the distributions paid is as follows:

           
    Ordinary Income   Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gain   Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gain*   Return of Capital   Total Distributions Paid
JIC Institutional Bond Fund I     2013       1,171,838       87,869             1,973       1,261,680  
       2014       1,041,893                         1,041,893  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund II     2013       2.151,773       1,361,162             5,207       3,518,142  
       2014       1,910,080       301,471       43,035             2,254,586  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund III     2013       2,265,435       1,356,287             5,331       3,627,053  
       2014       2,019,263       171,918       83,035       437       2,274,653  
Johnson Enhanced Return Fund     2013       1,010,552       9,824,201       6,036,074             16,870,827  
    2014       895,771       8,348,667       5,565,770             14,810,208  

* Short-Term Capital Gains can be combined with Ordinary Income, and are taxed at the Ordinary Income tax rate.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

As of December 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

         
  Undistributed Ordinary Income   Capital Loss Carryovers   Long-Term Capital Gain   Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)   Total Distributable Income on a Tax Basis
JIC Institutional Bond Fund I   $ 31,575     $     —     $     $ 41,543     $ 73,118  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund II     35             241       1,259,886       1,260,162  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund III                       2,591,709       2,591,709  
Johnson Enhanced Return Fund     875,534             1,266,405       (169,378 )      1,972,561

DISCLOSURE OF EXPENSES (Unaudited)
December 31, 2014

Shareholders of the Funds incur ongoing operating expenses consisting solely of management fees. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and to compare these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in the Funds on June 30, 2014 and held through December 31, 2014.

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid by a shareholder for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and other funds 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

     
  Beginning Account Value June 30, 2014   Ending Account Value December 31, 2014   Expenses Paid During Period*
July 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014
JIC Institutional Bond Fund I
                          
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,000.68     $ 1.19  
Hypothetical   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,024.02     $ 1.22  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund II
                          
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,010.33     $ 1.20  
Hypothetical   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,024.02     $ 1.22  
JIC Institutional Bond Fund III
                          
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.56     $ 1.20  
Hypothetical   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,024.02     $ 1.22  
Johnson Enhanced Return Fund
                          
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,058.36     $ 1.82  
Hypothetical   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,023.44     $ 1.81  

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). For the JIC Institutional Bond Funds I, II and III, the expense ratio (after waiver) is 0.24%, and for the Enhanced Return Fund, the expense ratio is 0.35%.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board Trustees of
Johnson Mutual Funds Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of JIC Institutional Bond Fund I, JIC Institutional Bond Fund II, JIC Institutional Bond Fund III, and Johnson Enhanced Return Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Johnson Mutual Funds Trust, as of December 31, 2014, 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 December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. 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 as of December 31, 2014, 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.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that that the registrant does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee as defined by the SEC. The board determined that, although none of the Audit Committee members meet the technical definition of an audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC, the members have sufficient financial expertise to address any issues that are likely to come before the committee. It was the consensus of the Trustees that it is not necessary at the present time for the committee to have an audit committee financial expert and that, if an issue ever arises, the committee will consider hiring an expert to assist as needed.
