1. ORGANIZATION
Monteagle Funds (“the Trust”) was organized as a business trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 26, 1997 as Memorial Funds. The Trust changed its name to Monteagle Funds in July, 2006.
The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an open-end, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust is authorized by its Declaration of Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in each series. The Trust currently consists of the following series (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”):
Monteagle Select Value Fund
Monteagle Opportunity Equity Fund
Smart Diversification Fund
The Texas Fund
The Monteagle Select Value Fund (“Select Value Fund”), Monteagle Opportunity Equity Fund (“Opportunity Equity Fund”), Smart Diversification Fund (“Smart Diversification Fund”) and The Texas Fund (“Texas Fund”) are each a diversified series of Monteagle Funds. The principal investment objective of each of Select Value Fund, Opportunity Equity Fund and The Texas Fund (collectively the “Equity Funds”) is long-term capital appreciation. The principal investment objective of the Smart Diversification Fund is total return through a combination of capital appreciation and income.
The Funds are authorized to offer one class of shares, Institutional Class shares, except the Opportunity Equity Fund has an Investor Class and Institutional Class shares.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:
Securities Valuation — Equity securities, including common stocks, exchange traded funds and real estate investment trusts, held by the Funds for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the last reported sales price or the official closing price provided by independent pricing services as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each Fund’s business day. If no sales are reported, the average of the last bid and ask price is used. If no average price is available, the last bid price is used. To the extent these securities are actively traded and
Semi-Annual Report | 30
MONTEAGLE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 (UNAUDITED)
valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy described below. When an equity security is valued by the independent pricing service using factors other than market quotations or the market is considered inactive, they will be categorized in level 2.
Options contracts that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options held by the Funds for which no current quotations are readily available and which are not traded on the valuation date are valued at the average of the last bid and ask price and are categorized within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Depending on the product and terms of the transaction, the fair value of options can be modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of options contracts. Options contracts valued using pricing models are categorized within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Warrants that are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Warrants traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Money market funds are valued at their net asset value of $1.00 per share and are categorized as level 1. Securities with maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value and would be categorized as level 2.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| |
● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Funds have the ability to access |
● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

(b) | For a detailed break-out of securities by major industry classification, please refer to the Schedules of Investments. |
Options transactions — The Texas Fund may purchase put and call options written by others and sell put and call options covering specified individual securities, securities or financial indices or currencies. A put option (sometimes called a “standby commitment”) gives the buyer of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to deliver a specified amount of a security, index or currency to the writer of the option on or before a fixed date at a predetermined price. A call option (sometimes called a “reverse standby commitment”) gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to call upon the writer to deliver a specified amount of a security, index or currency on or before a fixed date, at a predetermined price. The predetermined prices may be higher or lower than the market value of the underlying security, index or currency. The Fund may buy or sell both exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options. The Fund will purchase or write an option only if that option is traded on a recognized U.S. options exchange or if the Adviser or Sub-adviser believes that a liquid secondary market for the option exists. When the Fund purchases an OTC option, it relies on the dealer from whom it has purchased the OTC option to make or take delivery of the security, index or currency underlying the option. Failure by the dealer to do so would result in the loss of the premium paid by the Fund as well as the loss of the expected benefit of the transaction. OTC options and the securities underlying these options currently are treated as illiquid securities by the Fund.
Upon selling an option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser of the option. Upon purchasing an option, the Fund pays a premium to the seller of the option. The amount of premium received or paid by the Fund is based upon certain factors, including
Semi-Annual Report | 33
MONTEAGLE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 (UNAUDITED)
the market price of the underlying securities, index or currency, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price, the historical price volatility of the underlying assets, the option period, supply and demand and interest rates.
The Fund may purchase call options on equity securities that the Fund’s Adviser or Sub-adviser intends to include in the Fund’s portfolio in order to fix the cost of a future purchase. Call options may also be purchased to participate in an anticipated price increase of a security on a more limited risk basis than would be possible if the security itself were purchased. If the price of the underlying security declines, this strategy would serve to limit the potential loss to the Fund to the option premium paid. Conversely, if the market price of the underlying security increases above the exercise price and the Fund either sells or exercises the option, any profit eventually realized will be reduced by the premium paid. The Fund may similarly purchase put options in order to hedge against a decline in market value of securities held in its portfolio. The put enables the Fund to sell the underlying security at the predetermined exercise price; thus the potential for loss to the Fund is limited to the option premium paid. If the market price of the underlying security is lower than the exercise price of the put, any profit the Fund realizes on the sale of the security would be reduced by the premium paid for the put option less any amount for which the put may be sold.
The Adviser or Sub-adviser may write call options when it believes that the market value of the underlying security will not rise to a value greater than the exercise price plus the premium received. Call options may also be written to provide limited protection against a decrease in the market price of a security, in an amount equal to the call premium received less any transaction costs.
The Fund may purchase and write put and call options on fixed income or equity security indexes in much the same manner as the options discussed above, except that index options may serve as a hedge against overall fluctuations in the fixed income or equity securities markets (or market sectors) or as a means of participating in an anticipated price increase in those markets. The effectiveness of hedging techniques using index options will depend on the extent to which price movements in the index selected correlate with price movements of the securities, which are being hedged. Index options are settled exclusively in cash. See Note 10 for additional risks associated with options transactions.
All options purchased by the Texas Fund during the year were equity securities including exchange traded funds. The derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.
At February 28, 2022, the Texas Fund had purchased call options valued at $293,000, and purchased put options valued at $34,840, for a total of $327,840 which is presented within Investment Securities at Fair Value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

| | | |
Texas Fund | Call and put options purchased | Net change in unrealized appreciation on options | $ 79,304 |
For the six months ended February 28, 2022, the Texas Fund purchased 1,900call option contracts and 220 put option contracts. For the six months ended February 28, 2022 the Texas Fund wrote no option contracts. The number of purchased contracts is representative of the volume of activity for these derivative types during the period.
Security Loans — The Funds, except for the Opportunity Equity Fund and Smart Diversification Fund, have entered into securities lending agreements with Huntington National Bank. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees, or retain a portion of interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal, at all times, to 102% of the prior day’s fair value of loaned securities. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions are overnight and continuous. Securities lending income is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. If the fair value of the collateral falls below 102% plus accrued interest of the loaned securities, the lender’s agent shall request additional collateral from the borrowers to bring the collateralization back to 102%. Under the terms of the securities lending agreement, the Funds are indemnified for losses incurred due to a borrower’s failure to comply with the terms of the securities lending agreement.
Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Funds have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of the cash collateral received.

The Select Value Fund, Opportunity Equity Fund, Smart Diversification Fund, and the Texas Fund did not have any securities loaned at February 28, 2022.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date and realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) — Investing in real estate investment trusts, or “REITs”, involves certain unique risks in addition to those associated with the real estate sector generally. REITs, whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or region, are also subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest rate risks. By investing in REITs through the Fund, a shareholder will bear expenses of the REITs in addition to Fund expenses. Distributions received from the Funds' investments in REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Fund must use estimates in reporting the character of its income and distributions received for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to a Fund's shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by a Fund's shareholders may represent a return of capital.
The Funds may not purchase or sell real estate or interests in real estate, including real estate limited partnerships; provided, however, that the Funds may invest in securities secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by companies, including real estate investment trusts, which invest in real estate or interests therein.
Interest and Dividend Income — Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividends on securities held by the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Net investment income distributions, if any, for Select Value Fund, Opportunity Equity Fund, Smart Diversification Fund and Texas Fund are declared and paid quarterly at the discretion of each Fund’s adviser. Net capital gains for the Funds, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Estimates — These financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. Other allocations may also be approved from time to time by the Trustees.
Allocation of Income and Expenses, Realized and Unrealized Capital Gains and Losses — Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on investments, and Fund-wide expenses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares of the Opportunity Equity Fund based upon their relative net assets. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the respective share class.

Compliance Services
An affiliated Contractor (the “Contractor”) serves as the CCO of the Trust. The Funds pay $99,000 annually to the Contractor for providing CCO services. Each Fund pays an annual fee of $5,000 with the remaining amount allocated to the Funds based on aggregate average daily net assets. The CCO also received a special bonus of $5,000 from the Funds in August 2021. The payment was allocated among the Funds of $1,250 each. For the six months ended February 28, 2022, the CCO received a total of $49,094.
4. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended February 28, 2022, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and U.S. government securities, were as follows:
| | |
Fund | Purchases | Sales |
Select Value Fund | $ 5,198,643 | $ 5,665,914 |
Opportunity Equity Fund | 1,546,673 | 3,099,829 |
Smart Diversification Fund | 30,310,335 | 28,275,634 |
Texas Fund | 4,559,206 | 2,832,522 |
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities made by the Funds.
5. TAX MATTERS
It is each Fund’s intention to comply with the special provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies and distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, such Fund (but not the shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends, in each calendar year, at least 98% of its net investment income and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The Funds’ tax basis distributable earnings (deficit) are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The tax character of distributable earnings (deficit) at August 31, 2021, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, was as follows:
| | | | | | | |
Fund | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Undistributed Ordinary Income (Loss) | Undistributed Capital Gains | Capital Loss Carryforward | Post-December Ordinary Loss | Post- October Capital Loss | Total Distributable Earnings/ (Deficit) |
Select Value Fund | $ 507,088 | $1,698,382 | $ 250 | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ 2,205,720 |
Opportunity Equity Fund | 5,842,626 | 710,049 | 5,895,288 | - | - | - | 12,447,963 |
Smart Diversification | 3,503,253 | 1,390,786 | 1,490,518 | - | - | - | 6,384,557 |
Texas Fund | 2,925,152 | - | 56,389 | - | (35,872) | - | 2,945,669 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and return of capital from underlying investments. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to net operating losses, resulted in reclassification for the Funds for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 as follows:
| | |
Fund |
Paid-in Capital | Total Distributable Earnings/ (Deficit) |
Texas Fund | $ (96,953) | $ 96,953 |
Under current tax law, certain capital losses realized after October 31, and certain ordinary losses realized after December 31 but before the end of the fiscal year (“Post-October Losses” and “Late Year Losses”, respectively) may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year. The Texas Fund incurred and elected to defer $35,872 of such late year losses.
As of August 31, 2021, the Smart Diversification Fund utilized $300,103 of its capital loss carryforward during the year ended August 31, 2021. The Texas Fund utilized $818,163 of its capital loss carryforward during the year ended August 31, 2021.
The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of the investment securities as of February 28, 2022:
| | | | |

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions in all open tax years and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in open tax years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Delaware. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations as incurred. During the six months ended February 28, 2022, 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 2018.

8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
9. SECTOR AND GEOGRAPHIC RISKS
When the Funds emphasize one or more economic sectors, it may be more susceptible to the financial, market, or economic events affecting the particular issuers and industries in which they invest than funds that do not emphasize particular sectors. The more a fund diversifies, the more it spreads risk and potentially reduces the risks of loss and volatility.
The Texas Fund’s investments are concentrated in Texas, and therefore the Fund will be susceptible to adverse market, political, regulatory, social, economic and geographic events affecting Texas. The Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diverse funds. Since one of the main industries in Texas is mining and logging, including the oil and gas sectors, Texas is particularly susceptible to economic, environmental and political activities affecting this industry.
10. OPTIONS RISK
The Texas Fund’s use of options subjects the Fund to certain investment risks and transaction costs to which it might not otherwise be subject. These risks include: (i) dependence on the Adviser or Sub-adviser’s ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities and fluctuations in the general securities markets; (ii) imperfect correlations between movements in
Semi-Annual Report | 45
MONTEAGLE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 (UNAUDITED)
the prices of options and movements in the price of the securities (or indices) hedged or used for cover, which may cause a given hedge not to achieve its objective; (iii) the fact that the skills and techniques needed to trade these instruments are different from those needed to select the securities in which the Texas Fund invests; (iv) lack of assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular instrument at any particular time, which, among other things, may hinder the Texas Fund’s ability to limit exposures by closing its positions; and, (v) the possible need to defer closing out of certain options to avoid adverse tax consequences. Other risks include the inability of the Texas Fund, as the writer of covered call options, to benefit from any appreciation of the underlying securities above the exercise price, and the possible loss of the entire premium paid for options purchased by the Texas Fund. See Note 2 for additional disclosures related to options transactions.
NOTE 11. MARKET RISK
Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Funds’ net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.
An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 28, 2022, the Opportunity Fund declared a dividend from net investment income of $27,162, which was payable on March 29, 2022.
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and, other than those already disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, has noted no other such events that would require recognition or disclosure.

ABOUT YOUR FUNDS' EXPENSES
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 (UNAUDITED)
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The expenses in the tables below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent semi-annual period September 1, 2021 and held until the end of the period February 28, 2022.
The tables that follow illustrate each Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Funds. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Funds under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Funds’ costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Funds’ actual returns, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess each Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only.
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
More information about the Funds’ expenses, including historical annual expense ratios, can be found in this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to each Fund’s Prospectus.

N-PORT Filing — The SEC has adopted the requirement that all mutual funds file a complete schedule of investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-PORT. For the Monteagle Funds, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending November 30 and May 31. The Form N-PORT filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The Funds’ Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov., or they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).
LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds’ investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
During the six months ended February 28, 2022, the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed the Funds’ investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
