You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically by notifying your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of charge. You can inform your financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports, or if you are a direct investor, by calling the Funds at 800-601-5593. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Funds you hold directly or through your financial intermediary, as applicable.
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana, and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota (each a “Fund”, and collectively the “Funds”) for the six months ended January 31, 2019. Each Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
Economic Recap
The Federal Open Market Committee’s (“FOMC” or “Committee”) statement at the end of January noted that the labor market has continued to strengthen and that economic activity has been rising at a solid rate. The Committee also noted that job gains have been strong, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Household spending has continued to grow strongly, while growth of business fixed investment has moderated from its rapid pace earlier last year. The Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 percent, after raising it four times in 2018. In light of global economic and financial developments and muted inflation pressures, the Committee said it will be patient as it determines what future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate may be appropriate to support their objectives.
Municipal Bond Market Recap
The municipal market started the period with positive returns in August, but stumbled over the next couple months. Returns were negative in September as rates were driven higher by strong economic data and the third rate hike by the Federal Reserve in 2018. Returns were again negative in October as the Federal Reserve continued its push to normalize rates and looked poised to continue to normalize rates throughout 2019. Demand remained firm over the first half of the period and called and matured bonds exceeded new issuance which led to net negative supply in the market. The municipal market shifted in the second half of the period on a more dovish tone from the Federal Reserve as economic growth began to show signs of slowing in November. December continued November's market strength posting the best month of 2018 for munis. Issuance continued to come in light as it had all of 2018. Issuance for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018 was $294.6 billion nationally. The strength of November and December continued into January as macroeconomic concerns such as slower global growth, China trade negotiations, and a forecast for fewer Fed rate hikes encouraged investors. Net negative supply continued into 2019 also helping to push bond prices higher. National muni issuance was up 7.7% in January versus the prior year, coming in at $20.1 billion for the month.
Fund Performance and Outlook
For the six month period ended January 31, higher-rated investment grade munis slightly outperformed their lower-rated investment grade counterparts, while shorter and intermediate maturities performed better than longer maturities.
The Portfolio Management Team (the “Team”) continued to take advantage of last year’s rise in rates to trade bonds that were purchased when rates were at historic lows, in favor of bonds that offered more favorable yields.
The Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana, and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota had total returns of 1.60%*, 1.40%*, 1.79%*, 1.52%*, 1.82%*, and 1.52%* for Class A Shares and 1.73%*, 1.53%*, 1.91%*, 1.64%*, 1.95%*, and 1.75%* for Class I Shares, respectively, during the six month period ended January 31, 2019. This compares to the Bloomberg Barclays Capital Municipal Index’s return of 2.05% and the Morningstar Municipal Single State Intermediate Category which returned 1.70% for the period. The Funds underperformed the index during the period due to having a lower duration than the index. Additionally, the index is unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
The current 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (municipals are exempt) combined with the high marginal tax rates at the federal and state levels boost the appeal of tax-exempt income. The federal marginal tax rate for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of $510,301 ($612,351 for married filing jointly) in 2019 is 37.0%. The after-tax yield of a 10-year U.S. Treasury Note yielding 2.64% falls to approximately 1.56% at the 37.0% federal tax rate plus the 3.8% Medicare surtax.
Finally, we recommend that shareholders view their investment as long-term. As difficult as they may be, periods of panic (and euphoria) tend to be transitory in nature and it’s the long-term investors that may be rewarded with the long-term benefits of tax-free income and relatively low volatility that muni bonds have provided for decades.

*Performance does not include applicable front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, which would have reduced the performance. For Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana, and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota, the total annual fund operating expense ratio (before expense waivers and reimbursements and including acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 1.16%, 1.33%, 1.21%, 1.19%, 1.17%, and 1.31% respectively, for Class A, and 0.92%, 1.11%, 0.97%, 0.96%, 0.91%, and 1.06% respectively, for Class I. The net annual fund operating expense ratio (after expense waivers and reimbursements and excluding acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 0.98%, 0.98%, 0.98%, 0.98%, 0.98%, and 0.98%, respectively, for Class A and 0.73%, 0.73%, 0.73%, 0.73%, 0.73%, and 0.73%, respectively, for Class A. The Fund’s investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses through November 29, 2019 so that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements (excluding taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 0.98% for Class A and 0.73% for Class I of average daily net assets. This expense limitation agreement may only be terminated or modified prior to November 29, 2019 with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end (available within seven business days of the most recent month end) by calling 800-276-1262.
You should consider each Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For this and other important information, please obtain a Fund prospectus at no cost from your financial adviser and read it carefully before investing.
Bond prices and therefore the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Because each Fund invests in securities of a single state, the Funds are more susceptible to factors adversely impacting the respective state than a municipal bond fund that does not concentrate its securities in a single state.
For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a portion of the each Fund’s dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable.

The Fund’s total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees. A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results. In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities to match the index. If they could, transaction costs and other expenses would be incurred. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends. The results prior to August 1, 2009 were achieved while the Fund was managed by a different investment adviser. The current investment adviser may produce different investment results than those achieved by the previous investment adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE 1: Organization
Viking Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware business trust on March 30, 1999 and commenced operations on August 3, 1999. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company and consists of six series (the “Funds”).
The Kansas Municipal Fund (“KS Muni Fund”), Maine Municipal Fund (“ME Muni Fund”), Nebraska Municipal Fund (“NE Muni Fund”), and Oklahoma Municipal Fund (“OK Muni Fund”), Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana (“Tax-Free Fund for MT”), and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota (“Tax-Free Fund for ND”), each a non-diversified Fund, seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and each Fund’s respective state income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital.
The Board of Trustees approved, on February 2, 2018, a change of fiscal year-end for Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax-Free Fund for ND from December 31 to July 31, therefore, this report is for the seven months ended July 31, 2018 for these two Funds.
On May 18, 2017, the Board of Trustees approved the reorganization of each series of the Integrity Managed Portfolios (Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, and Oklahoma Municipal Fund, the “Predecessor Funds”), into the corresponding series of Viking Mutual Funds (with the same names, the “Successor Funds”), and the addition of I shares to each corresponding series. The reorganization was also approved by each Fund’s shareholders at a special meeting held on September 21, 2017. Effective at the close of business on October 31, 2017, the Successor Funds acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the corresponding Predecessor Funds in a tax-free exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the Successor Funds. As a result of the reorganization, the Successor Funds are the accounting successor of the corresponding Predecessor Funds. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of each Predecessor Fund's shares, value at the Predecessor Fund's net assets for the exact same shares and value of the corresponding Successor Fund's shares. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Successor Funds were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Predecessor Funds were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the corresponding Successor Funds realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the Shares outstanding, net assets, Accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments, Accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) and Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments were as followed:

Each Fund in the Trust currently offers both Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of 2.50% and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class I shares are sold without sales charge or distribution fee. The two classes of shares represent interest in each Fund’s same portfolio of investments, have the same rights, and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.
Each Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investment security valuation—Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by the Funds’ administrative services agent, Integrity Fund Services, LLC (“Integrity Fund Services” or “IFS”). The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees and includes consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality; type of issue, coupon, maturity, and rating; indications as to value from dealers; indications as to value from municipal bond market activity; and general market conditions. Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Refer to Note 3 for further disclosures related to the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments. Shares of a registered investment company, including money market funds that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share.
When-issued securities—The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The values of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Contingent deferred sales charge—In the case of investments into the Funds of $500,000 or more, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be assessed on shares redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions).
Federal and state income taxes—Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.
As of and during the period/year ended July 31, 2018, 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 period/year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years, which include the current and prior three tax years, are open for examination by taxing authorities. Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Premiums and discounts—Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are accreted and amortized using the effective yield method over the lives of the respective securities.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. The Funds declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount and capital loss carryforwards. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified within the composition of net assets to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax basis treatment.
Use of estimates—The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Common expenses—Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds within the Trust based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.
Multiple class allocations—The Funds simultaneously use the settled shares method to allocate income and fund-wide expenses and use the relative net assets method to allocate gains and losses. Class-specific expenses, distribution fees, and any other items that are specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class.
NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of January 31, 2019:

NOTE 7: Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Viking Fund Management (“VFM”), the Funds’ investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC (“Integrity Funds Distributor” or “IFD”), the Funds’ underwriter and distributor; and IFS, the Funds’ transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC (“Corridor Investors” or “Corridor”), the Funds’ sponsor. A Trustee of the Funds is also a Governor of Corridor.
VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. The Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses for the Funds, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, until November 29, 2019 so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.98% and 0.73% for Class A and I, respectively. After November 29, 2019, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised. VFM and affiliated service providers may also voluntarily waive fees or reimburse expenses not required under the advisory or other contracts from time to time. There are no recoupment provisions in place for waived/reimbursed fees. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

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

NOTE 8: Principal Risks
The Funds invest primarily in municipal securities from a specific state. The Funds may also invest in municipal securities of U.S. territories and possessions (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam). Each Fund is therefore more susceptible to political, economic, legislative, or regulatory factors adversely affecting issuers of municipal securities in its specific state or U.S. territories and possessions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that bond prices will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. There is normally an inverse relationship between the fair value of securities sensitive to prevailing interest rates and actual changes in interest rates. The longer the average maturity of a Fund’s portfolio, the greater its interest rate risk.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the one-half year period shown below and held for the entire one-half year period.
Actual expenses - The section in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns together with the amount you invested to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an account value of $8,600 divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class in the column entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes - The section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)
At a meeting held on November 2, 2018, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of Viking Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), including a majority of the trustees who are neither party to the advisory agreement nor “interested persons” of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes)(the “Independent Trustee”), unanimously determined to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of it series (each, a Fund and, together, the “Funds”), and Viking Fund Management, LLC (“Viking” or the “Adviser”). The Board considered information received and discussions held at the November 2, 2018 Board meeting and, with respect to the Independent Trustees, discussions held at the October 12, 2018 meeting of the Governance Committee.
In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Adviser, that they believed to be reasonably necessary to reach their conclusion. The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals. In connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure rules relating to the renewal of advisory contracts, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
| (a) | the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund; |
|
|
|
| (b) | the various personnel furnishing such services and their duties and qualifications; |
|
|
|
| (c) | the Fund’s investment performance as compared to standardized industry performance data; |
|
|
|
| (d) | the Adviser’s costs and profitability of furnishing the investment management services to the Fund; |
|
|
|
| (e) | the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the Fund grows larger and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders; |
|
|
|
| (f) | an analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers to similar funds; |
|
|
|
| (g) | the expense ratios of the fund as compared to data for comparable funds; and |
|
|
|
| (h) | information with respect to all benefits to the Adviser associated with its relationship with the Fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. |
In evaluating the Adviser’s services and fees, among other information, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of each Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser, and the advisory fees and other Fund expenses compared to advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the Funds, the Trustees considered, among other things, the advisory fees, the Funds’ past performance, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates (costs and profits from furnishing services to each Fund), and the contractual expense limitations agreed to by the Adviser with respect to Fund expenses. The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to each Fund. The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to contractually or voluntarily limit Fund expenses, the skills and capabilities of the Adviser and the representations from the Adviser that the Funds’ portfolio managers will continue to manage each Fund in substantially the same way as it had been managed.
The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement:
Nature, extent and quality of services. The Board considered that the Adviser currently provides services to 11 funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds to municipal funds. The Board also considered that the Adviser has a strong culture of compliance and provides quality services. The Board noted that the experience and expertise of the Adviser are attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and have the potential to enhance the Funds’ future performance. Based on the information provided, the Board determined that the overall nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser have historically been, and continue to be, adequate and appropriate.
Investment performance. Upon a review of the total return history and category rankings of each Fund, according to Morningstar data, the Board determined that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory and that each Fund has been meeting its investment objective. In this regard, the Board made the following observations:
As of July 31, 2018, the Morningstar risk rating for Class A shares of: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was below average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was high for the 3-year period and above average for the 5- and 10-year periods; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was above average for the 3- and 5-year periods and high for the 10-year period; (4) Maine Municipal Fund was average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (5) Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota was average for the 3- and 5-year periods and above average for the 10-year period; and (6) Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana was average for the 3- and 5-year periods and above average for the 10-year period.
As of July 31, 2018, the Morningstar return rating for Class A shares of: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was average for the 3- and 10-year periods and above average for the 5-year period; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was average for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (4) Maine Municipal Fund was below average for the 3- , 5-, and 10-year periods; (5) Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota was average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; and (6) Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana was average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods.
As of July 31, 2018, the Fund performance for Class A shares of: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, above its category median for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods, and below its category median for the 10-year period; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, above its category median for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods, and below its category median for the 10-year period; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, below its category median for the 1-year period, and above its category median for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (4) Maine Municipal Fund was below its index and category median for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (5) Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota was near its index for the 1- , 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods and below its category median for the 1-, 3-, and 10-year periods and near its category median for the 5-year period; and (6) Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana was near its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods and below its category median for the 1-, 3-, and 10-year periods and at its category median for the 5-year period.
Profitability. In connection with its review of advisory fees, the Board also considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationship to the Funds. In this regard, the Board received information regarding the financial condition of the Adviser and the distributor for the calendar year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Board also received Fund-by-Fund profitability information, which included fees and expenses of the Adviser as well as the affiliated distributor and transfer agent. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the level of profitability under the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services provided and taking into account fees and expenses of affiliated service providers to the Funds.
Economies of scale. The Board considered whether there were economies of scale with respect to management of the Funds and whether the Funds would benefit from any economies of scale. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding each Fund’s size and noted that the size of the Fund had not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. The Board also noted that each Fund’s expenses are managed pursuant to a contractual expense limitation. The Board noted a general decline in assets since the last contract renewal, as a result of adverse market developments in connection with the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule. The Board determined that the advisory fees are structured appropriately based on the size of the Funds.
Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers to similar funds. The Board considered that a comparison of the advisory fees charged by the Adviser with respect to the Funds to advisory fees charged by other investment advisers to other funds with a similar investment strategy and size reflected that the fees charged by the Adviser are comparable to those charged by other investment advisers to other similar funds.
Expense ratios of the Fund as compared to data for comparable funds. The Board considered that a comparison of the net annual operating expense for Class A shares of each Fund to other funds with a similar investment strategy and size, as determined by the Adviser, reflected that the net operating expense of 0.98% for Class A shares of each Fund is comparable to, although generally higher than, that of other similar funds.
Information with respect to all benefits to the Adviser associated with the Fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser and its affiliates do not realize material direct benefits from their relationship to the Funds except for fees earned for services provided. The Board considered that the Adviser uses an internal model to provide services to the Funds and that the Adviser or its affiliates provide most services to the Funds including distribution and transfer agency services. The Board considered that the Adviser does not benefit from soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities trading in the Funds in light of the types of securities traded for the Funds. The Board considered the foregoing in reaching its conclusion that the advisory fees are reasonable.
In voting unanimously to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Board noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Viking, Viking’s resources, the strategic plan involving the Funds, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Funds. The Board unanimously determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each of the Funds and that the advisory fees are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
