Kansas Municipal Fund
Dear Shareholder:
Enclosed is the semi-annual report of the operations for the Kansas Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended January 30, 2004. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The foundations under the U.S. economy are getting stronger. Massive policy stimulus has worked in an economy that’s in a self-sustaining expansion with businesses shifting away from their retrenchment mindset. This means that growth will no longer be so dependent on consumer spending and housing, even though both of these sectors should remain firm.
The fact that the Federal Reserve is determined to keep interest rates extremely low in the face of strengthening activity boosts the odds that the economy will continue to surprise on the upside in the months ahead. As a result, corporate profits should perform well and deflation fears will eventually be replaced by the realization that the Fed is sowing the seeds for future inflation.
The Fed would very much like to avoid a repeat of 1994. It will be hard to plan a smooth exit strategy from its current stance, but it is trying to be clear in signaling its intentions to the markets. It is slowly altering the policy statement after each FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, with the intention of having the markets gradually adjust by the time rates are finally hiked. The Fed has learned from the experience of last May through July when confusing policy signals created tremendous bond volatility.
During the period the Fund utilized defensive positions designed to provide share price stability. U.S. Treasury futures were used to hedge a portion of the portfolio with the results being tempered share price as rates hovered near forty-year lows and stabilized share price as bonds dipped in reaction to periodic riding rates. Risk management is important in this market environment.
An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality double tax-exempt issues. Portfolio quality for the period ended January 30, 2004, was represented as follows: AAA 67.7%, AA 15.4%, A 5.5%, BBB 3.0%, BB 1.1%, and NR 7.3%. High quality current income exempt from federal and state income tax remain the primary objectives of the Fund.
Sincerely,
The Portfolio Management Team

Putting Performance into Perspective
Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results. The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Kansas municipal bonds. Your Fund’s total return for the periods 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 necessary to match the index. And, if they could, they would incur transaction c osts and other expenses. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends. The Fund’s share price, yields and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
The Board of Integrity Managed Portfolios (formerly known as Ranson Managed Portfolios) consists of four Trustees. These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as Directors or Trustees for all of the funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, and the six series of The Integrity Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements January 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION
Business operations - The Kansas Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered. Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990. The Fund had no operations from that date to November 15, 1990, other than matters relating to organization and registration. On November 15, 1990, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and Kansas income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund will seek to achieve this obj ective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Kansas municipal securities. Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management. The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers 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. The Fund follows industry practice and records security transac tions on the trade date.
The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state. This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.
Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required. Distributions during the six months ended January 30, 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes.
The Fund has unexpired capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of January 30, 2004 totaling $8,407,952, which may be used to offset capital gains. The capital loss carryforward amounts will expire in each of the years ended July 31 as shown in the table below.
Year | |
2004 | 0 |
2005 | 2,222,213 |
2006 | 1,671,432 |
2007 | 0 |
2008 | 531,392 |
2009 | 568,023 |
2010 | 1,444,860 |
2011 | 1,970,032 |
Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and paid monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually.
Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.
Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund 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, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index. Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy. Unrealized appreciation (deprecia tion) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes.
Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts. These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
At January 30, 2004, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:
Contracts to Sell | Expiration Date | Number of Future Contracts | Valuation as of January 30, 2004 | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
U.S. Treasury Bonds | 03/2004 | 253 | 838,063 | (1,090,245) |
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As of January 30, 2004, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; 7,558,121 and 7,941,182 shares were outstanding at January 30, 2004 and July 31, 2003, respectively.

Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund
Dear Shareholder:
Enclosed is the semi-annual report of the operations for the Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund (the "Fund") for the six months ended January 30, 2004. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The foundations under the U.S. economy are getting stronger. Massive policy stimulus has worked in an economy that’s in a self-sustaining expansion with businesses shifting away from their retrenchment mindset. This means that growth will no longer be so dependent on consumer spending and housing, even though both of these sectors should remain firm.
The fact that the Federal Reserve is determined to keep interest rates extremely low in the face of strengthening activity boosts the odds that the economy will continue to surprise on the upside in the months ahead. As a result, corporate profits should perform well and deflation fears will eventually be replaced by the realization that the Fed is sowing the seeds for future inflation.
The Fed would very much like to avoid a repeat of 1994. It will be hard to plan a smooth exit strategy from its current stance, but it is trying to be clear in signaling its intentions to the markets. It is slowly altering the policy statement after each FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, with the intention of having the markets gradually adjust by the time rates are finally hiked. The Fed has learned from the experience of last May through July when confusing policy signals created tremendous bond volatility.
During the period the Fund utilized defensive positions designed to provide share price stability. U.S. Treasury futures were used to hedge a portion of the portfolio with the results being tempered share price as rates hovered near forty-year lows and stabilized share price as bonds dipped in reaction to periodic rising rates. Risk management is important in this market environment.
An important part of the Fund's strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality double tax-exempt issues. Diversification remains an important strategy of the Fund as reflected in the 41 issues in the portfolio. Income exempt from Federal and Kansas income taxes with preservation of capital remain the primary objectives of the Fund.
Sincerely,
The Portfolio Management Team

Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results. The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Kansas municipal bonds. Your 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 necessary to match the index. And, if they could, they would incur transaction c osts and other expenses. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends. The Fund’s share price, yields and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
The Board of Integrity Managed Portfolios (formerly known as Ranson managed portfolios) consists of four Trustees. These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as Directors or Trustees for all of the funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios (formerly known as Ranson Capital Corporation), and the six series of The Integrity Funds. Three Trustees (75% of the total) have no affiliation or business connection with the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates. These are the “independent” Trustees. The remaining Trustee and executive officers are “interested” by virtue of their affiliation with the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
The Independent Trustees of the Fund, their term of office and length of time served, their principal occupation(s) during the past five years, the number of portfolios overseen in the Fund Complex by each Independent Trustee and other directorships, if any, held outside the Fund Complex, are shown below.

Notes to Financial Statements January 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION
Business operations -The Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered. Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990. The Fund had no operations from that date to November 23, 1992, other than matters relating to organization and registration. On November 23, 1992, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and Kansas income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund will seek to achieve thi s objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Kansas insured securities. Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 2.75% of the offering price.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management. The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers 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. The Fund follows industry practice and records security transa ctions on the trade date.
The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state. This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.
Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required. Distributions during the six months ended January 30, 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes.
The Fund has unexpired capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of January 30, 2004, totaling $1,081,467, which may be used to offset capital gains. The capital loss carryforward amounts will expire in each of the years ended July 31 as shown in the table below.
Year | |
2004 | 0 |
2005 | 411,602 |
2006 | 125,539 |
2007 | 27,107 |
2008 | 49,698 |
2009 | 78,788 |
2010 | 178,976 |
2011 | 209,757 |
Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually.
Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.
Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund 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, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index. Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy. Unrealized ap preciation (depreciation) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for federal income tax purposes.
Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts. These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
At January 30, 2004, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:
Contracts to Sell | Expiration Date | Number of Futures Contract | Valuation as of January 30, 2004 | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
U.S. Treasury Bonds | 03/2004 | 56 | $185,500.00 | ($241,063) |
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
As of January 30, 2004, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; 1,533,291 and 1,592,377 shares were outstanding at January 30, 2004, and July 31, 2003, respectively.

Nebraska Municipal Fund
Dear Shareholder:
Enclosed is the semi-annual report of the operations of the Nebraska Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended January 30, 2004. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The foundations under the U.S. economy are getting stronger. Massive policy stimulus has worked in an economy that’s in a self-sustaining expansion with businesses shifting away from their retrenchment mindset. This means that growth will no longer be so dependent on consumer spending and housing, even though both of these sectors should remain firm.
The fact that the Federal Reserve is determined to keep interest rates extremely low in the face of strengthening activity boosts the odds that the economy will continue to surprise on the upside in the months ahead. As a result, corporate profits should perform well and deflation fears will eventually be replaced by the realization that the Fed is sowing the seeds for future inflation.
The Fed would very much like to avoid a repeat of 1994. It will be hard to plan a smooth exit strategy from its current stance, but it is trying to be clear in signaling its intentions to the markets. It is slowly altering the policy statement after each FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, with the intention of having the markets gradually adjust by the time rates are finally hiked. The Fed has learned from the experience of last May through July when confusing policy signals created tremendous bond volatility.
During the period the Fund utilized defensive positions designed to provide share price stability. U.S. Treasury futures were used to hedge a portion of the portfolio with the results being tempered share price as rates hovered near forty-year lows and stabilized share price as bonds dipped in reaction to periodic rising rates. Risk management is important in this market environment.
An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality double tax-exempt issues. Portfolio quality for the six months ended January 30, 2004, were represented as follows: AAA 62.4%, AA 22.9%, A 6.3%, BBB 2.0%, and NR 6.4%. High quality current income exempt from federal and Nebraska income tax remain the primary objectives of the Fund.
Sincerely,
The Portfolio Management Team

Putting Performance into Perspective
Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results. The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Nebraska municipal bonds. Your 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 necessary to match the index. And, if they could, they would incur transactio n costs and other expenses. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends. The Fund’s share price, yields, and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
The Board of Integrity Managed Portfolios (formerly known as Ranson Managed Portfolios) consists of four Trustees. These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as Directors or Trustees for all of the funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, and the six series of The Integrity Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements January 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION
Business operations - The Nebraska Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered. IntegrityManaged Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990. The Fund had no operations from that date to November 17, 1993, other than matters relating to organization and registration. On November 17, 1993, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal and Nebraska income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund wil l seek to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Nebraska municipal securities. Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management. The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers 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. The Fund follows industry practice and records security transaction s on the trade date.
The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state. This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.
Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required. Distributions during the six months ended January 30, 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes.
The Fund has unexpired capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of January 30, 2004 totaling $3,080,475, which may be used to offset capital gains. The capital loss carryforward amounts will expire in each of the years ended July 31 as shown in the table below.
Year | |
2004 | 415,126 |
2005 | 616,730 |
2006 | 383,905 |
2007 | 0 |
2008 | 199,861 |
2009 | 158,911 |
2010 | 591,993 |
2011 | 713,949 |
Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually.
Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.
Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund 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, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index. Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy. Unrealized a ppreciation (depreciation) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as a realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes.
Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts. These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
At January 30, 2004, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:
Contracts to Sell | Expiration Date | Number of Futures Contract | Valuation as of January 30, 2004 | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
U.S. Treasury Bonds | 03/2004 | 111 | $367,688 | ($478,329) |
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
As of January 30, 2004, there were unlimited shares of no par authorized; 3,463,174 and 3,458,937 shares were outstanding at January 30, 2004 and July 31, 2003, respectively.

Oklahoma Municipal Fund
Dear Shareholder:
Enclosed is the semi-annual report of the operations for the Oklahoma Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended January 30, 2004. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The foundations under the U.S. economy are getting stronger. Massive policy stimulus has worked in an economy that’s in a self-sustaining expansion with businesses shifting away from their retrenchment mindset. This means that growth will no longer be so dependent on consumer spending and housing, even though both of these sectors should remain firm.
The fact that the Federal Reserve is determined to keep interest rates extremely low in the face of strengthening activity boosts the odds that the economy will continue to surprise on the upside in the months ahead. As a result, corporate profits should perform well and deflation fears will eventually be replaced by the realization that the Fed is sowing the seeds for future inflation.
The Fed would very much like to avoid a repeat of 1994. It will be hard to plan a smooth exit strategy from its current stance, but it is trying to be clear in signaling its intentions to the markets. It is slowly altering the policy statement after each FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, with the intention of having the markets gradually adjust by the time rates are finally hiked. The Fed has learned from the experience of last May through July when confusing policy signals created tremendous bond volatility.
During the period the Fund utilized defensive positions designed to provide share price stability. U.S. Treasury futures were used to hedge a portion of the portfolio with the results being tempered share price as rates hovered near forty-year lows and stabilized share price as bonds dipped in reaction to periodic rising rates. Risk management is important in this market environment.
An important part of the Fund’s strategy includes searching the primary and secondary markets for high quality double tax-exempt issues. Portfolio quality for the period ended January 30, 2004, were represented as follows: AAA 63.8%, AA 15.0%, A 9.1%, BBB 5.1%, B1/B- 3.2% and NR 3.8%. High quality current income exempt from federal and Oklahoma income tax remain the primary objectives of the Fund.

Putting Performance into Perspective
Returns are historical and are not a guarantee of future results. The graph comparing your Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how your Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Lehman Brothers index is a national index representative of the national municipal bond market, whereas the Fund concentrates its investments in Oklahoma municipal bonds. Your 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 necessary to match the index. And, if they could, they would incur transac tion costs and other expenses. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends. The Fund’s share price, yields, and total returns will vary, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
The Board of Integrity Managed Portfolios (formerly known as Ranson Managed Portfolios) consists of four Trustees. These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as Directors or Trustees for all of the funds in the Integrity family of funds, the six series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, and the six series of The Integrity Funds. Three Trustees (75% of the total) have no affiliation or business connection with the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates. These are the “independent” Trustees. The remaining Trustee and executive officers are “interested” by virtue of their affiliation with the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

Notes to Financial Statements January 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION
Business operations - Oklahoma Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Integrity Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust may offer multiple portfolios; currently six portfolios are offered. Integrity Managed Portfolios is an unincorporated business trust organized under Massachusetts law on August 10, 1990. The Fund had no operations from that date to September 25, 1996, other than matters relating to organization and registration. On September 25, 1996, the Fund commenced its Public Offering of capital shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from both federal income tax and, to a certain extent, Oklahoma income tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital. Up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in Oklahoma municipal securities which are subject to Oklahoma state income taxes. The Fund will seek to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of Oklahoma municipal securities. Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment security valuation - Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which will constitute a majority of the securities held by the Fund) are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Money Management, Inc. The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, and indications as to value from dealers 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. The Fund follows industry practice and records security tran sactions on the trade date.
The Fund concentrates its investments in a single state. This concentration may result in the Fund investing a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.
Federal and state income taxes - The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required. Distributions during the six months ended January 30, 2004, were characterized as tax-exempt for tax purposes.
The Fund has unexpired capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of January 30, 2004, totaling $1,096,225, which may be used to offset capital gains. The capital loss carryforward amounts will expire in each of the years ended July 31 as shown in the table below.
Year | Unexpired Capital Losses |
2004 | 0 |
2005 | 0 |
2006 | 0 |
2007 | 0 |
2008 | 185,891 |
2009 | 83,784 |
2010 | 414,246 |
2011 | 412,304 |
Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually.
Premiums and discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.
Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund 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, capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales and futures transactions.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of tax-exempt municipal securities the Fund owns or expects to purchase.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. government or municipal securities at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying index. Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts sold and the futures contracts to buy. Unrealized appreciation (depr eciation) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes.
Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts. These risks may include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
At January 30, 2004, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to sell debt securities as follows:
Contracts to Sell | Expiration Date | Number of Futures Contracts | Valuation as of January 30, 2004 | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
U.S. Treasury Bonds | 03/2004 | 102 | $337,875 | ($439,079) |
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
