Item 6. Investments
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Viking Mutual Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Viking Mutual Funds comprising 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 “Funds”) as of July 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of July 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Viking Fund Management since 2009.

Notes to Financial Statements
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”), 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”) 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. KS Muni Fund and OK Muni Fund are diversified Funds. ME Muni Fund, NE Muni Fund, Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax Free Fund for ND are non-diversified Funds.
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.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
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—The Funds value their investments at fair value. 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. 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’ Schedules 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 $200,000 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 July 31, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended July 31, 2024, 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 into interest income using the effective yield method over the lives of the respective securities.
Cash and cash equivalents— The Funds consider investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.
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 (“GAAP”).
Use of estimates—The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 increase (decrease) in net assets 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 July 31, 2024:

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, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and acquired fund fees and expenses, until November 29, 2024 so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.98% and 0.73% for Class A and I, respectively. After November 29, 2024, 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. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

VFM is entitled to recoup such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three years from the date on which VFM waived fees or reimbursed expenses for each Fund. Each Fund will make repayments to the VFM only if such repayment does not cause the annual Fund operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both (1) the expense limitation in place when such amounts were waived and (2) the Fund’s current expense limitation. As of July 31, 2024, the following amounts are available to be repaid to VFM.

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

NOTE 8: Principal Risks
The Funds invest primarily in municipal securities from a specific state. The Funds may also invest in municipal securities of U.S. territories and possessions (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam). Each Fund is therefore more susceptible to political, economic, legislative, or regulatory factors adversely affecting issuers of municipal securities in its specific state or U.S. territories and possessions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that bond prices will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. There is normally an inverse relationship between the fair value of securities sensitive to prevailing interest rates and actual changes in interest rates. The longer the average maturity of a Fund’s portfolio, the greater its interest rate risk.
NOTE 9: Subsequent Events
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the issuance date of these financial statements and has noted no such events requiring disclosure.
