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 Fixed Income Fund
Monteagle Informed Investor Growth Fund
Monteagle Quality Growth Fund
Monteagle Select Value Fund
Monteagle Value Fund
The Texas Fund
The Monteagle Fixed Income Fund (“Fixed Income Fund”), Monteagle Quality Growth Fund (“Quality Growth Fund”), Monteagle Select Value Fund (“Select Value Fund”), Monteagle Value Fund (“Value Fund”) and The Texas Fund (“Texas Fund”) are diversified series of Monteagle Funds. The Monteagle Informed Investor Growth Fund (“Informed Investor Growth Fund”) is a non-diversified series of Monteagle Funds. The principal investment objective of the Fixed Income Fund is total return. The principal investment objective of each of Informed Investor Growth Fund, Quality Growth Fund, Select Value Fund, Value Fund and Texas Fund (collectively the “Equity Funds”) is long-term capital appreciation.
The Fixed Income Fund, Informed Investor Growth Fund, Quality Growth Fund, Select Value Fund and Value Fund are authorized to offer one class of shares, Class I. The Texas Fund is authorized to offer two classes of shares, Class I and Class C. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges and ongoing fees.
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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:
Securities Valuation — Equity securities, including common stocks and exchange-traded funds, 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 valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value
46
MONTEAGLE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
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.
Fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and U.S. government and agency obligations, are valued using an independent pricing service that considers market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and other reference data. These securities are categorized as level 2 securities. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is estimated by an independent pricing service which uses models that consider interest rate movements, new issue information and other security pertinent data. Evaluations of tranches (non-volatile, volatile, or credit sensitive) are based on interpretations of accepted Wall Street modeling and pricing conventions. Mortgage-backed securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described below to the extent the inputs are observable and timely. In the absence of readily available market quotations, or other observable inputs, securities are valued at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees and would be categorized as level 3.
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.
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 |
| ● | 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.

(a) | As of and during the six month period ended February 29, 2016, the Funds held no securities that were considered to be “Level 3” securities (those valued using significant unobservable inputs). Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable. |
(b) | All common stocks held in the Funds, except those noted in the Value Fund’s Schedule of Investments, are Level 1 securities. For a detailed break-out of common stocks by major industry classification, please refer to the Schedules of Investments. |
It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers between Levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into and out of any Level during the six month period ended February 29, 2016.
During the six month period ended February 29, 2016, no securities were fair valued.
Options transactions — The Texas Fund (the “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
49
MONTEAGLE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
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 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 debt 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.

Security Loans — The Funds have entered into securities lending agreements with Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. and MS Securities Services, Inc. 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. 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
51
MONTEAGLE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
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.

Estimates — These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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.
Multiple Class Allocations — Income, expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative share balances. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan.
Redemption Fees — A redemption fee of 1.00% is imposed on Texas Fund Class C shares in the event of certain redemption transactions within one year following such investments. The respective shareholders pay such redemption fees, which are not an expense of the Texas Fund. During the six month period ended February 29, 2016, no redemption fees were paid to the Texas Fund.

5. TAX MATTERS
It is each Fund’s policy 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.

MONTEAGLE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
The Funds’ tax basis distributable earnings are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The tax character of distributable earnings (deficit) at August 31, 2015, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, was as follows:
Fund | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Undistributed Capital Gains | | | Capital Loss Carryforward | | | Post-December Ordinary Loss | | | Post- October Capital Loss | | | Total Distributable Earnings | |
Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 132,937 | | | $ | 5,782 | | | $ | — | | | $ | (291,240 | ) | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | (152,521 | ) |

The undistributed ordinary income, capital gains, carryforward losses and post-October losses shown above differ from corresponding accumulated net investment income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) figures reported in the statements of assets and liabilities due to differing book/tax treatment of short-term capital gains, and certain temporary book/tax differences due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31st and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31st may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Funds’ carryforward losses, post-October losses and post-December losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of August 31, 2015, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, the Funds elected to defer net capital losses as indicated in the chart below.
| | Post-October Losses | | | Post-December Losses | |
Fund | | Deferred | | | Utilized | | | Deferred | | | Utilized | |

As of August 31, 2015, the following Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. These capital loss carryforwards may be utilized in future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
Fund | | 2016 | | | 2017 | | | 2018 | | | Non-Expiring Long-Term | | | Total | | | Utilized | |

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), net capital losses recognized after December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term. Under the law in effect prior to the Act, pre-enactment net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be utilized before pre-enactment net capital losses. There were no post-enactment capital losses incurred by the Fixed Income Fund, Informed Investor Growth Fund, Quality Growth Fund, Select Value Fund or Texas Fund during the year ended August 31, 2015.
The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of the investment securities as of February 29, 2016:
Fund | | Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 50,643,081 | | | $ | 865,085 | | | $ | (79,380 | ) | | $ | 785,705 | |
Informed Investor Growth Fund | | | 11,258,913 | | | | 370,211 | | | | (133,992 | ) | | | 236,219 | |
Quality Growth Fund | | | 19,390,419 | | | | 4,392,499 | | | | (853,442 | ) | | | 3,539,057 | |
Select Value Fund | | | 10,375,374 | | | | 917,743 | | | | (2,047,506 | ) | | | (1,129,763 | ) |
Value Fund | | | 17,923,828 | | | | 2,574,790 | | | | (2,467,646 | ) | | | 107,144 | |
Texas Fund | | | 11,021,000 | | | | 234,782 | | | | (1,979,762 | ) | | | (1,744,980 | ) |
The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the financial statement cost for Informed Investor Growth Fund, Quality Growth Fund, Select Value Fund and Texas Fund is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
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 open tax years and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized
58
MONTEAGLE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken. 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. During the six month period ended February 29, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
6. CONTROL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumption of control of the fund under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of February 29, 2016, the shareholders listed in the table immediately below held, for the benefit of their customers, the following percentages of the outstanding shares of each Fund.

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.
61
MONTEAGLE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
9. SECTOR RISK
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.
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 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.
11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07 Disclosure for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The amendments in ASU No. 2015-07 remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments measured using the net asset value per share (“NAV”) practical expedient. The ASU also removes certain disclosure requirements for investments that qualify, but do not utilize, the NAV practical expedient. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 15, 2016, the Quality Growth Fund declared a dividend from net investment income of $42,550, which was payable on March 15, 2016. On March 15, 2016, the Select Value Fund declared a dividend from net investment income of $28,145, which was payable on March 15, 2016. On March 15, 2016, the Value Fund declared a dividend from net investment income of $50,258, which was payable on March 15, 2016. On March 31, 2016, the Fixed Income Fund declared a dividend from net investment income of $52,868, which was payable on March 31, 2016.
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and has noted no other such events that would require disclosure.

13. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 7, 2010, an amended complaint was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (Adversary Proceeding No. 10-54010) by The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Company (“Committee”) on behalf of Tribune Company (“Tribune”), a U.S. news and media organization. Among the thousands of defendants in the Amended Complaint is the Monteagle Funds with respect to holdings by the Monteagle Value Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund, along with numerous other mutual funds, institutional investors and others, owned shares of Tribune in 2007 when it went private in a leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”). In the LBO, shareholders such as the Fund sold their shares back to Tribune for $34/share. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the payment for the shares by Tribune was a fraudulent transfer and seeks to have the cash paid to shareholders returned to the Tribune bankruptcy estate. The Amended Complaint seeks to create a class of Defendants – the former shareholders of Tribune – and seeks return of over $8 billion in proceeds from the LBO. The Committee has not served the Fund with the Amended Complaint, and the Fund was not named as a Defendant in the original complaint. Although the Fund has not yet been served, the Fund is monitoring the litigation.
On April 5, 2012, the Committee’s lawsuit was transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for discovery and pretrial motions with numerous other related actions. (In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litigation, 1:12-mc-02296-WHP). It is unclear if the Fund is named as a Defendant, or is a member of any proposed class, in any of these other actions.
On July 23, 2012, the Delaware Bankruptcy Judge confirmed a plan of reorganization that, among other things, replaced the Committee as Plaintiff with a Litigation Trustee.
On September 7, 2012, Judge Pauley of the Southern District of New York entered a Master Case Order. Among other things, the Master Case Order creates liaison counsel and an Executive Committee for the defendants in the Litigation Trustee’s lawsuit, including those defendants, like the Fund, that were only shareholders of Tribune. The Executive Committee Members for mutual funds are Michael S. Doluisio, an attorney with Dechert LLP in Philadelphia, and Steven R. Schoenfeld, an attorney with Dorsey & Whitney LLP in New York. The Executive Committee is directed to take reasonable steps to streamline case management and to eliminate duplication of efforts and redundant filings. However, the Master Case Order does not certify a class of Defendants, and does not prevent any individual Defendant from retaining its own counsel or being heard by the Court. Discovery in the Litigation Trustee’s lawsuit is stayed pending resolution of certain motions to dismiss in the related litigation.
On September 23, 2013, the Court rejected the defendants’ arguments under section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (the so-called public-securities-market exemption), but still dismissed the so-called Individual Creditors Actions (the individual creditor, constructive fraudulent-conveyance actions) on the ground that the Individual Creditors lack standing to seek avoidance of the same transactions that the Litigation Trustee is simultaneously suing to avoid. .

MONTEAGLE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
On May 23, 2014, the Executive Committee, on behalf of all Exhibit A shareholder defendants, including the Fund, filed a motion to dismiss Count One of the Litigation Trustee’s Fifth Amended Complaint on grounds, among other things, that complaint fails to allege facts from which a strong inference can be drawn that the Tribune Board acted with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors when it approved the LBO. The Litigation Trustee has responded and the motion is fully briefed and pending before Judge Pauley. The Individual Creditors have appealed the dismissal for lack of standing to the Second Circuit, and the Executive Committee has cross-appealed the failure to dismiss under 546(e). On March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion. The Court ruled that the noteholder creditors had standing to sue, but that, on the merits, their claims were preempted by the safe harbor in Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. Assuming this result is not reversed by the United States Supreme Court or en banc by the full Second Circuit, then this would leave only the Litigation Trustee’s claims for intentional fraudulent conveyance.
It is not expected that the cases discussed above will have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s financial position, results of operation, or cash flows; however, these litigation matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and the views of these matters with respect to any impact to the Fund may change in the future.
14. ELECTION OF NEW TRUSTEES

On January 21, 2016, at a Special Meeting of Shareholders, Messrs. Gruber and Wallace, were elected as Trustees by the shareholders of the Trust. Messrs. Gruber and Wallace will serve on the Board until such time as their successors shall be duly elected and qualified.

MONTEAGLE FUNDS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS’ EXPENSES (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, 2015) and held until the end of the period (February 29, 2016).
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.

MONTEAGLE FUNDS COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS (Unaudited) |
Each Trustee receives an annual fee of $2,500 and a fee of $1,000 per Fund, and is also paid a $1,000 for each quarterly meeting attended and $500 for each special meeting attended.

MONTEAGLE FUNDS BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) |
On January 21, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the Monteagle Funds (the “Trust”), comprised entirely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), met in person to review and discuss approving renewal of the Management Agreement between the Trust and Nashville Capital Corp. (the “Adviser”) with respect to each of the funds comprising the Trust (the “Funds”), and separately and individually, each of the Subadvisory Agreements by and among the Adviser, the Trust and the firm engaged to provide day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds, being Parkway Advisors, L.P. with respect to the Monteagle Select Value Fund, Garcia Hamilton & Associates, L.P. with respect to the Monteagle Quality Growth Fund, Howe & Rusling, Inc. with respect to the Monteagle Fixed Income Fund, Robinson Investment Group, Inc. with respect to the Monteagle Value Fund, T.H. Fitzgerald & Company with respect to the Monteagle Informed Investor Growth Fund and J. Team Financial, Inc. with respect to The Texas Fund (each, a “Sub-adviser”).
With the assistance and advice of independent counsel, the Trustees had requested and received information prior to the meeting that they deemed relevant or necessary to consider in the renewal process. In addition, they received a memorandum from independent counsel discussing, among other things, the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and considering renewal. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the foregoing information during a private session with their counsel and during the Board meeting. Counsel also reviewed with the Trustees the types of information and factors that they should and should not take into consideration in making their decision about renewal. Throughout the process the Trustees had the opportunity to ask questions, and answers to their questions were considered along with the other materials provided.
In assessing various factors in regard to renewal, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as the information specifically prepared for the renewal meeting, such as: (i) reports regarding the services and support provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the Adviser and the Sub-advisers; (ii) performance assessments of the investment performance of the Funds by personnel of the Adviser and the Sub-advisers; (iii) performance commentary on the reasons for the performance; (iv) presentations by the Funds’ portfolio managers addressing the Adviser’s and the Sub-advisers’ investment philosophy, investment strategy and operations; (v) compliance reports, audits and review reports concerning the Funds, the Adviser and the Sub-advisers; (vi) disclosure information contained in the registration statement of the Trust and the Form ADVs of the Adviser and the Sub-advisers; (vii) information on relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds, the Adviser and/or the Sub-advisers are responding to them; (viii) financial information about the Adviser and the Sub-advisers; (ix) a description of the personnel at the Adviser and the Sub-advisers involved with the Funds, their background, professional skills and accomplishments; (x) information on investment advice, performance, summaries of fund expenses, compliance program, current legal matters, and other general information about the Adviser and each Sub-adviser; (xi) comparative expense and performance information for other mutual funds that are similar to the Funds; (xii) where available, information about performance and fees relative to other accounts managed by the Sub-advisers that might be considered
71
MONTEAGLE FUNDS BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
comparable to the Funds in terms of investment style; and (xiii) any soft-dollar or other “fall-out” or similar benefits to be realized by the Adviser or the Sub-advisers from their relationship with the Funds. The Board also took into consideration the Adviser’s recommendation that each of the Subadvisory Agreements be renewed, as well as the Management Agreement.
The Board did not identify any particular factor or information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the renewals and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors considered. Following is a summary of the Board’s consideration of various factors:
The Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-advisers.
The Trustees considered various aspects of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-advisers to the Funds. They noted that the responsibilities of the Adviser and Sub-advisers under each Agreement had not changed since the last renewal and were not proposed to change. They also considered the following, without limitation: the quality of the investment advisory services (including research and recommendations with respect to portfolio securities), noting that they are not proposed to change; the background, experience and professional ability and skill of the portfolio management personnel assigned to the Funds, noting the commitment to hire and retain qualified personnel to work on behalf of the Funds and their shareholders; the processes used for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with each Fund’s investment objectives and limitations, as well as for assuring compliance with regulatory requirements, specifically noting that none of the Adviser or Sub-advisers reported any material compliance matter over the last year; the manner in which the Sub-advisers seek to satisfy their obligation to assure “best execution” in connection with securities transactions placed for the Funds, noting each Sub-adviser’s policies and procedures on trading and brokerage, as well as average brokerage commissions paid; the investment strategies and sources of information upon which the Sub-advisers rely in making investment decisions for the Funds; where applicable, the fees charged to and the performance of other accounts managed by the Sub-advisers similar to the Funds; the oversight of the Funds’ portfolios by the Sub-advisers and the Adviser and the oversight of the Sub-advisers by the Adviser; the Sub-advisers’ succession plans and business continuity plans; and the coordination of services for the Funds among the service providers, Trust management and the Trustees.
After reviewing and considering the foregoing information and further information in the materials provided by the Adviser and Sub-advisers (including their Form ADVs), the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each of the Sub-advisers were satisfactory and adequate for their respective Funds.
72
MONTEAGLE FUNDS BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
Investment Performance of the Funds, the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers.
In considering this factor, the Trustees took into consideration that the Adviser has delegated day-to-day portfolio management to the Sub-adviser for each respective Fund and that the Adviser’s role in regard to investment performance was largely one of oversight. The Trustees also noted the information about the Adviser personnel fulfilling that role, as well as the information about the Sub-adviser portfolio managers managing each of the Funds’ portfolios day-to-day.
In their evaluation of performance, the Trustees considered the short- and long-term performance of each Fund compared with the performance of its benchmark, groups of funds with similar objectives managed by other investment advisers, and aggregated data by category. In addition, the Trustees noted that, in cases where a Sub-adviser is managing other accounts with similar investment objectives to those of their Fund, the Fund’s performance was generally in line with that of the other accounts.
After considering and discussing the performance of the Funds, the Adviser’s and each Sub-adviser’s experience and performance in their roles with respect to the Funds, the historical and comparative performance data provided, and other relevant information, the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that the investment performance of each of the Funds, the Adviser and the Sub-advisers was satisfactory.
The Costs of the Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser and the Sub-advisers from their Relationships with the Funds.
In considering these factors, the Trustees noted the overall expenses of each Fund, including the nature and frequency of advisory and sub-advisory fee payments, the asset levels of each Fund and the gross and net expenses of the Funds as compared to gross and net expenses of a group of funds that may be considered similar, noting that the expenses of each of the Funds was within the range of expenses incurred by the other funds in its group. The Trustees also considered the financial condition and profitability information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-advisers and the level of commitment to the Funds by the principals of the Adviser and Sub-advisers to their roles for the Funds.
The Trustees also considered information provided on fees charged by the Sub-advisers to comparable accounts – such as institutional accounts – being managed in a similar style, noting that, typically, fees charged to the Funds were among the lowest, if not lower than, the fees charged to other accounts by the Sub-advisers. The Trustees used this information as a potential gauge for what fees might be considered reasonable for similar investment services, although they also considered that accounts identified as similar for this purpose may also have material differences that impact their overall comparability, such as differences in the range of the investor base served by the account; the average account size; the customization of fees, services and reporting available; the daily liquidity, redemptions and turnover that might occur in a mutual fund that might not be the case in other accounts; the regulatory requirements applicable to a fund that do not apply to many non-fund accounts; and the Board oversight applicable to funds that does
73
MONTEAGLE FUNDS BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
not apply to most other types of accounts; to name a few. The Trustees took into consideration these potential differences when assessing both performance and fee information with respect to comparable accounts.
After further consideration of these elements, the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that the costs of the services provided to the Funds and the profits realized by the Adviser and the Sub-advisers from their relationships with the Funds were satisfactory.
Other Benefits Derived by the Adviser or Sub-advisers from their Relationships with the Funds and Conflicts of Interest.
The Trustees also considered other benefits that the Adviser or Sub-advisers derive from their relationship with the Funds (sometimes referred to as “fall-out” benefits) and conflicts of interest. In particular, the Trustees considered that the Sub-adviser to the Monteagle Informed Investor Growth Fund uses “soft dollars,” or Fund commissions, to obtain research, and noted in addition to the amount of soft dollars reported that (i) the Sub-adviser reports it selects broker-dealers on the basis of best execution, even though some of the broker-dealers it selects also provide research, (ii) the Sub-adviser reports only using “soft dollars” within the Section 28(e) safe harbor, which requires the Sub-adviser to determine that the commissions paid were reasonable in relation to the value of the research received, and (iii) the Sub-adviser uses the research received to implement its investment strategy generally, which benefits the Fund as well as the Sub-adviser’s other accounts.
The Trustees also noted that the Sub-advisers to the Monteagle Informed Investor Growth Fund and the Monteagle Quality Growth Fund each report that the portfolio managers managing those Funds also manage performance-based fee accounts for other clients of the Sub-adviser. When considering these arrangements and the conflict of interest they present, the Trustees also noted that both those Sub-advisers indicated they have procedures in place to manage potential conflicts of interest that arise, that the arrangements are subject to monitoring by the Trust and the Adviser, and that the arrangements are disclosed in the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information.
After reviewing and considering the foregoing information and other information they deemed relevant with regard to these matters, the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that the other benefits derived by the Adviser or Sub-advisers from their relationships with the Funds were satisfactory.
Economies of Scale.
The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Funds grow and whether the advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees considered the breakpoints in effect on the advisory fee schedule for each of the Funds at various asset levels, which are aimed at sharing with shareholders any economies of scale that are realized from Fund growth. The Trustees also noted that certain of the subadvisory fee schedules also have breakpoints at various asset levels.
74
MONTEAGLE FUNDS BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
After considering these factors, the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that the fee levels and breakpoints were satisfactory and adequate to reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders if the Funds grow.
Based on all of the information presented to the Board and its consideration of relevant factors, the Board, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, approved renewal of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements for an additional one-year period, and determined that the compensation payable under each of the agreements was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, including the services to be rendered and such other matters as the Board considered to be relevant.
