INTEGRITY DIVIDEND HARVEST FUND
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund (the “Dividend Harvest Fund” or “Fund”) for the seven month period ended July 31, 2018. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The first quarter of 2018 saw the S&P 500 Index (S&P) return -0.76%. After remaining near historic lows for a year, volatility (as measured by the VIX volatility index) returned in February, spiking to levels not seen since the market turmoil of late 2015. The VIX spiked from the low-teens all the way to 50 before settling around 20 for the remainder of the quarter. The market pulled back with the increased volatility, causing February to be the first down month for the S&P since October 2016. The companies comprising the S&P reported fourth quarter earnings that grew approximately 14.8% on revenue growth of 8.3%, year-over-year. Of these companies, 76% beat analyst expectations. As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) voted to increase the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its two-day March meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. The Fed noted that the labor market has continued to strengthen and that economic activity has been rising at a moderate rate.
Only two sectors reported positive returns in the first quarter of 2018. Technology was the best performing sector, returning 3.54% as the sector reported a high level of earnings growth year-over-year. Consumer discretionary also had a positive quarter, returning 3.12%. Telecommunications and Consumer Staples performed worst over the period with returns of -7.49% and -7.12%, respectively. Telecommunications, a sector known for paying dividends, was likely hurt by increasing interest rates as the 10-year Treasury yield started the quarter at 2.40% and nearly touched 3%. Consumer staples contains many international companies and may have been hurt by rising fears of trade wars.
The second quarter of 2018 saw the S&P return 3.43%. Headlines focused on the increasing risk of trade wars as the U.S. announced new tariffs affecting multiple industries. The market appeared to shrug off these concerns as it ticked higher over the quarter. The companies comprising the S&P reported first quarter earnings that grew approximately 26.6% on revenue growth of 8.4%, year-over-year. Of these companies, 78% beat analyst expectations. Looking at future quarters, analysts currently project earnings growth to continue at double-digit levels through the remainder 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate fell to 3.8%, its lowest level since April 2000. As expected, the Fed voted to increase the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its June meeting. The Fed noted that economic activity has been rising at a solid rate.
Improving from the first quarter, seven of the eleven sectors reported positive returns in the second quarter of 2018. Energy was by far the best performing sector, returning 13.69% as supply disruption concerns caused the price of Brent crude oil to approach $80. Energy sector earnings grew 89% year-over-year and are expected to continue to grow at a high rate. Consumer discretionary was the second best performing sector with a return of 8.12%. The financial sector was the worst performer with a return of -3.32% as the yield curve continued to flatten.
The S&P returned 3.72% in July, its strongest monthly return since January. All sectors were positive for the month with industrials leading the way. Near the end of the month, over half of the S&P companies had reported earnings. Of those companies, 82% had reported earnings above analyst expectations.
The Fund’s total returns for Class A, C, and I shares were -1.32%*, -1.72%*, and -1.19%*, respectively, for the seven months ended July 31, 2018 while the S&P gained 6.47%. The Fund is in the Morningstar Large Value category which returned 2.76% over the same time period. The Fund underperformed the S&P, primarily driven by overweight allocations to consumer staples and telecommunications and an underweight allocation to technology sector. Aiding relative performance was an underweight allocation to financials and an overweight allocation to energy.
The Fund seeks to maximize total return by emphasizing high current income with long term appreciation as a secondary objective, consistent with preservation of capital. The Portfolio Management Team (the “Team”) considers dividend yield, dividend growth rate, earnings growth, price-to-earnings multiples, and balance sheet strength. The Team emphasizes dividend yield in selecting stocks for the Fund because the Team believes that, over time, dividend income can contribute significantly to total return and is a more consistent source of investment return than appreciation.

The table and graph above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions and redemptions of Fund shares. The graph comparing the Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how the Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. 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.
INTEGRITY ENERGIZED DIVIDEND FUND
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Energized Dividend Fund (the “Energized Dividend Fund” or “Fund”) for the seven month period ended July 31, 2018. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The first quarter of 2018 saw the S&P 500 Index (S&P) return -0.76%. After remaining near historic lows for a year, volatility (as measured by the VIX volatility index) returned in February, spiking to levels not seen since the market turmoil of late 2015.

Improving from the first quarter, seven of the eleven sectors reported positive returns in the second quarter of 2018. Energy was by far the best performing sector, returning 13.69% as supply disruption concerns caused the price of Brent crude oil to approach $80. Energy sector earnings grew 89% year-over-year and are expected to continue to grow at a high rate. Consumer discretionary was the second best performing sector with a return of 8.12%. The financial sector was the worst performer with a return of -3.32% as the yield curve continued to flatten.
The S&P returned 3.72% in July, its strongest monthly return since January. All sectors were positive for the month with industrials leading the way. Near the end of the month, over half of the S&P companies had reported earnings. Of those companies, 82% had reported earnings above analyst expectations.
Over the first quarter, oil prices gained on strong global demand, lower OPEC production, falling Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) inventories, and political uncertainty in the Middle East. Global oil demand remained robust, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasting 1.8 million barrels per day growth in both 2018 and 2019. OPEC’s compliance rate stood at 163% in March, over 800,000 barrels per day more than their stated production cut. U.S. crude oil production increased to 10.4 million barrels per day in March and is forecast to average 10.7 million barrels a day in 2018. This level would surpass the previous record of 9.6 million barrels per day set back in 1970. Even with rising domestic production, U.S. and global inventories continued to draw. U.S. crude oil inventories fell below the five-year average during the first quarter. OECD crude oil inventories have fallen by 267 million barrels since January 2017. At the end of March, OECD inventories stood at 2.8 billion barrels, only 30 million barrels above five-year averages. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projected that if OPEC production were to remain constant in 2018, and their outlook for non-OPEC production and oil demand remain unchanged, global inventories could draw by about 600,000 barrels of oil per day. The tailwinds for crude oil picked up steam in the 1Q2018, however, investors remained leery of energy equities, building on a disconnect of historic proportions in performance between the commodity and energy equities. From the start of 2017 to the end of the 1Q2018, crude oil prices rose 24%, while the Morningstar Equity Energy category fell by over 10%. We believe energy equities have traded based on investor sentiment and technicals over fundamentals, which have improved greatly over the past year.
Over the second quarter, oil prices strengthened further on strong global demand, Venezuela and Libya oil production declines, falling OECD inventories, and a more tapered growth outlook for U.S. shale. OPEC held a meeting in June and agreed to increase oil production. While the increased production put mild downside pressure on oil prices, this move erodes the cartel’s spare capacity. Regionally, the Permian Basin was highly topical over the 2Q2018 as production from the region inched closer to takeaway capacity. Midland Basin, the main pricing hub for Permian crude, saw differentials widen into the double digits over the quarter. Fear of further deterioration in Midland prices brought share prices of Permian operators down. Additionally, share prices of completion orientated oilfield service companies came under pressure as constrained takeaway capacity is expected to impact completion activity during the 4Q2018 through the 2Q2019. We view this issue as highly transitory and continue to seek opportunities in quality companies whose shares have overly reacted to this bottleneck. After a rough 1Q2018, energy went from trailing the S&P 500 by over 5% at the end of the first quarter to outperforming the S&P 500 by over 4% for the 1H2018.
For the 2H2018, we should see a continuation of the strong performance seen from the energy sector during the 1H2018, as tailwinds continue to build. The IEA has forecasted global oil demand for 2018 to climb by 1.4 million barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million barrels of oil per day in 2019. We believe there is upside to this number as the IEA has underestimated global demand for several consecutive years and global GDP, a statistic that has been strongly correlated to oil consumption, has been on the rise. On the supply side, growth will be driven by increasing shale production, but at a level that demand can absorb. While OPEC’s production increase may loosen global supply over the short-term, global spare capacity is expected to fall to levels not seen since the early 1980’s. We feel this will provide strong support from crude oil prices.
The Fund’s total returns for Class A, C, and I shares were 5.36%*, 4.90%*, and 5.57%*, respectively, for the seven months ended July 31, 2018 compared to returns of 7.46%, 8.77%, and 6.58% for the Morningstar Equity Energy Category, the S&P Composite 1500 Energy Index, and the S&P Composite 1500 Index, respectively. The energy sector outperformed the broader market as the price of oil rose over the period. The Fund underperformed its Morningstar category (Energy Equity), primarily driven by stock selection in midstream and underweight allocations to exploration & production and refiners. Aiding relative performance was stock selection in equipment & services and integrateds.

The Fund underperformed the S&P, primarily driven by stock selection in consumer discretionary and industrials and an overweight allocation to telecommunications. Aiding relative performance was stock selection in technology and financials.
The Fund is managed using a blended growth and income investment strategy. We seek to invest primarily in domestic common stocks, balancing investments between growth & dividend paying stocks, depending on where we see the best value. We also try to emphasize companies we believe offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate a positive awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.

INTEGRITY HIGH INCOME FUND
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund” or “Fund”) for the seven month period ended July 31, 2018. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
Market Environment
Despite solid fundamentals and earnings in the high-yield market, increasing rates, inflation and trade concerns drove increased volatility in bond prices. Global economic uncertainty rose on weaker growth in Europe and oil supply questions also contributed to the volatility. For the year-to-date period ending July 31, 2018, the high-yield market was up 1.20% (as measured by the ICE BofAML US High Yield Constrained Index). Performance was led by less rate-sensitive, lower-quality credits, as CCCs returned 4.55% versus BBs at -0.70%. Year to date, yields widened 52 basis points (bps) to 6.36% while spreads tightened 16 bps to close at 357 bps as of July 31. Leading contributors to year-to-date performance in the high-yield market were telecommunications, health care and transportation, which were offset by the top detractors, automotive, banking and consumer goods.
Retail fund flows for the year-to-date period have been negative at -$24 billion, dramatically higher than the -$10.5 billion for the same period last year. High-yield new issuance in 2018 was down 30% compared to the same period one year ago though refinancing activity continued to represent nearly two-thirds of total issuance this year. Default activity has lightened and the current trailing 12-month default rate of 2.02% is higher by 72 bps year to date and 81 bps for the trailing 12-month period.
With a 1.20% return for the last seven months, high yield has outperformed all other major fixed income asset classes, followed by five-year Treasuries (GA05) at -1.38%, emerging markets (EMCB) at -1.50%, U.S. Aggregate (D0A0) at -1.61% and high-grade credit (C0A0) at -2.40%.
Portfolio Performance and Positioning
For the year-to-date period ending July 31, the Integrity High Income Fund returned 1.21%* (A Class Shares, net of fees), 0.78%* (C Class Shares, net of fees) and 1.36%* (I Class Shares, net of fees) compared to its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Index, which returned 1.25%, and the Morningstar High Yield category’s period return of 0.83%. On a gross-of-fee basis, the Fund’s A Class Shares outperformed the benchmark for the seven-month period due to security selection in the wireless and independent energy sectors in addition to the positive contribution resulting from the portfolio’s underweight to banking. Specifically, weightings in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Clear Channel Worldwide, Softbank Group Corporation, Windstream Holdings and Tenet Healthcare Corporation enhanced relative performance results in the period. Alternatively, contributions from security selection in the cable satellite and consumer products sectors coupled with an underweight to oil field services hindered relative performance for the trailing seven months. The largest detractors resulted from relative weightings in DISH Network Corporation, Halcon Resources Corporation, Frontier Communications Corporation, Hertz Global Holdings and High Ridge Brands.
Compared to the benchmark at July 31, the Fund was overweight in cable satellite, consumer products and technology due to our view of the relative value opportunities within those sectors. The Fund remained underweight in metals and mining, finance companies and oil field services because we have not found these sectors attractive due to challenging fundamental outlooks or rich valuations. As of July 31, the Fund’s yield, spread and duration were all lower than those of the benchmark.
Market Outlook
Global growth remains supportive of fundamentals, though a weaker-growth trend is developing in Europe. We expect a continuation of improved earnings growth and solid cash flows. Corporate balance sheets remain sound as improved cash flow and modest spending plans keep leverage stable. We also expect increased merger-and-acquisition activity, which should be a net positive for high-yield issuers. Technicals are supportive as low net issuance has more than offset muted demand. Volatility has increased on fears of a trade war and global economic uncertainty, and may continue sporadically. We believe broader-market high-yield spreads are attractive relative to current and expected defaults. Our fundamental research, bottom-up security selection style should allow us to continue to capitalize on market opportunities.

WILLISTON BASIN/MID-NORTH AMERICA STOCK FUND
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund (the “WB/MNA Stock Fund” or “Fund”) for the seven month period ended July 31, 2018. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The first quarter of 2018 saw the S&P 500 Index (S&P) return -0.76%. After remaining near historic lows for a year, volatility (as measured by the VIX volatility index) returned in February, spiking to levels not seen since the market turmoil of late 2015. The VIX spiked from the low-teens all the way to 50 before settling around 20 for the remainder of the quarter. The market pulled back with the increased volatility, causing February to be the first down month for the S&P since October 2016. The companies comprising the S&P reported fourth quarter earnings that grew approximately 14.8% on revenue growth of 8.3%, year-over-year. Of these companies, 76% beat analyst expectations. As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) voted to increase the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its two-day March meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. The Fed noted that the labor market has continued to strengthen and that economic activity has been rising at a moderate rate.
Only two sectors reported positive returns in the first quarter of 2018. Technology was the best performing sector, returning 3.54% as the sector reported a high level of earnings growth year-over-year. Consumer discretionary also had a positive quarter, returning 3.12%. Telecommunications and Consumer Staples performed the worst over the period with returns of -7.49% and -7.12%, respectively. Telecommunications, a sector known for paying dividends, was likely hurt by increasing interest rates as the 10-year Treasury yield started the quarter at 2.40% and nearly touched 3%. Consumer staples contains many international companies and may have been hurt by rising fears of trade wars.
The second quarter of 2018 saw the S&P return 3.43%. Headlines focused on the increasing risk of trade wars as the U.S. announced new tariffs affecting multiple industries. The market appeared to shrug off these concerns as it ticked higher over the quarter. The companies comprising the S&P reported first quarter earnings that grew approximately 26.6% on revenue growth of 8.4%, year-over-year. Of these companies, 78% beat analyst expectations. Looking at future quarters, analysts currently project earnings growth to continue at double-digit levels through the remainder 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate fell to 3.8%, its lowest level since April 2000. As expected, the Fed voted to increase the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its June meeting. The Fed noted that economic activity has been rising at a solid rate.
Improving from the first quarter, seven of the eleven sectors reported positive returns in the second quarter of 2018. Energy was by far the best performing sector, returning 13.69% as supply disruption concerns caused the price of Brent crude oil to approach $80. Energy sector earnings grew 89% year-over-year and are expected to continue to grow at a high rate. Consumer discretionary was the second best performing sector with a return of 8.12%. The financial sector was the worst performer with a return of -3.32% as the yield curve continued to flatten.
The S&P returned 3.72% in July, its strongest monthly return since January. All sectors were positive for the month with industrials leading the way. Near the end of the month, over half of the S&P companies had reported earnings. Of those companies, 82% had reported earnings above analyst expectations.
Over the first quarter, oil prices gained on strong global demand, lower OPEC production, falling Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) inventories, and political uncertainty in the Middle East. Global oil demand remained robust, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasting 1.8 million barrels per day growth in both 2018 and 2019. OPEC’s compliance rate stood at 163% in March, over 800,000 barrels per day more than their stated production cut. U.S. crude oil production increased to 10.4 million barrels per day in March and is forecasted to average 10.7 million barrels a day in 2018. This level would surpass the previous record of 9.6 million barrels per day set back in 1970. Even with rising domestic production, U.S. and global inventories continued to draw. U.S. crude oil inventories fell below the five-year average during the first quarter. OECD crude oil inventories have fallen by 267 million barrels since January 2017. At the end of March, OECD inventories stood at 2.8 billion barrels, only 30 million barrels above five-year averages. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projected that if OPEC production were to remain constant in 2018, and their outlook for non-OPEC production and oil demand remain unchanged, global inventories could draw by about 600,000 barrels of oil per day. The tailwinds for crude oil picked up steam in the 1Q2018, however, investors remained leery of energy equities, building on a disconnect of historic proportions in performance between the commodity and energy equities. From the start of 2017 to the end of the 1Q2018, crude oil prices rose 24%, while the Morningstar Equity Energy category fell by over 10%. The Fund returned -8.94% versus the Morningstar Equity Energy category’s return of -6.74% over the first quarter. We believe energy equities have traded based on investor sentiment and technicals over fundamentals, which have improved greatly over the past year.
Over the second quarter, oil prices strengthened further on strong global demand, Venezuela and Libya oil production declines, falling OECD inventories, and a more tapered growth outlook for U.S. shale. OPEC held a meeting in June and agreed to increase oil production. While the increased production put mild downside pressure on oil prices, this move erodes the cartel’s spare capacity. Regionally, the Permian Basin was highly topical over the 2Q2018 as production from the region inched closer to takeaway capacity. Midland Basin, the main pricing hub for Permian crude, saw differentials widen into the double digits over the quarter. Fear of further deterioration in Midland prices brought share prices of Permian operators down. Additionally, share prices of completion orientated oilfield service companies came under pressure as constrained takeaway capacity is expected to impact completion activity during the 4Q2018 through the 2Q2019. We view this issue as highly transitory and continue to seek opportunities in quality companies whose shares have overly reacted to this bottleneck. After a rough 1Q2018, energy went from trailing the S&P 500 by over 5% at the end of the first quarter to outperforming the S&P 500 by over 4% for the 1H2018. The Fund returned 9.22% versus the Morningstar Equity Energy category’s return of 13.06% over the second quarter.
In the month of July, crude prices backed off of the year-to-date high of 72.46 to close the quarter at 68.76. The Fund returned 2.75% in July, 1.25% ahead of the Morningstar Equity Energy category. Aiding relative performance was an underweight allocation to integrated oil companies and selection in oilfield service.
For the 2H2018, we should see a continuation of the strong performance seen from the energy sector during the 1H2018, as tailwinds continue to build. The IEA has forecasted global oil demand for 2018 to climb by 1.4 million barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million barrels of oil per day in 2019. We believe there is upside to this number as the IEA has underestimated global demand for several consecutive years and global GDP, a statistic that has been strongly correlated to oil consumption, has been on the rise. On the supply side, growth will be driven by increasing shale production, but at a level that demand can absorb. While OPEC’s production increase may loosen global supply over the short-term, global spare capacity is expected to fall to levels not seen since the early 1980’s. We feel this will provide strong support from crude oil prices.
The Fund’s total returns for Class A, C, and I shares were 2.19%*, 1.84%*, and 2.38%*, respectively, for the seven months ended July 31, 2018, compared to returns of 7.46%, 8.77%, and 6.58% for the Morningstar Equity Energy Category, the S&P Composite 1500 Energy Index, and the S&P Composite 1500 Index, respectively. Detracting from the Fund’s performance relative to its Morningstar category was selection in oilfield service and exploration & production. Aiding relative performance was an underweight allocation to integrated oil companies and refinery selection.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Organization
The Integrity Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 31, 1997 and commenced operations on October 31, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company, consisting of five series (the “Funds”).
Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund (the “Dividend Harvest Fund”), a non-diversified fund, seeks high current income with long term appreciation as a secondary objective. Integrity Energized Dividend Fund (the “Energized Dividend Fund”), a non-diversified fund, seeks long-term appreciation while providing high current income. Integrity Growth & Income Fund (the “Growth & Income Fund”), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary objective. Integrity High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”), a non-diversified fund, seeks a high level of current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund (the “WB/MNA Stock Fund”), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth through capital appreciation.
The Board of Trustees approved, on February 2, 2018, a change to the Funds’ fiscal year-end from December 31 to July 31, therefore, this report is for the seven months ended July 31, 2018.

The Class A shares of Dividend Harvest Fund, Energized Dividend Fund, Growth & Income Fund, High Income Fund, and WB/MNA Stock Fund are sold with an initial sales charge of 5.00%, 5.00%, 5.00%, 4.25%, and 5.00%, respectively, and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class C shares are sold without a sales charge and are subject to a distribution fee of up to 1.00% on an annual basis. Class I shares are sold without a sales charge or distribution fee. The three 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 market quotations are available are valued as follows: (a) Listed securities are valued at the closing price obtained from the respective primary exchange on which the security is listed or, if there were no sales on that day, at its last reported current bid price; (b) Unlisted securities are valued at the last current bid price obtained from the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System. The Funds’ administrative services agent, Integrity Fund Services, LLC (“Integrity Fund Services” or “IFS”) obtains all of these prices from services that collect and disseminate such market prices. Prices provided by an independent pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices and may take into account appropriate factors such as: institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. In the absence of an ascertainable market value, assets are valued at their fair value as determined by IFS using methods and procedures reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 each Fund’s 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—Class A shares of $1 million or more may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). Investments in Class C shares (in any amount) may be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
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 seven months 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 statement of operations. During the seven months ended, 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 debt securities are accreted and amortized using the effective yield method over the lives of the respective securities for financial statement purposes.
Cash and cash equivalents—The Funds consider investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Fund maintains cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund maintains these balances with a high quality financial institution.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—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 specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and regulations. The Dividend Harvest Fund, Energized Dividend Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and WB/MNA Stock Fund will declare and pay dividends from net investment income at least annually. The High Income Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays such dividends monthly. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Distributions to shareholders 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 treatments for capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified within the composition of net assets to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax basis treatment.
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.
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 High Income Fund simultaneously uses the settled shares method to allocate income and fund-wide expenses and uses the relative net assets method to allocate gains and losses. Dividend Harvest Fund, Energized Dividend Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and WB/MNA Stock Fund use the relative net assets method to allocate income, fund-wide expenses, 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.
Illiquid securities—A security may be considered to be illiquid if it has a limited trading market. Securities are generally considered to be liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Funds. These securities are valued at fair value as described above. Each Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Of the illiquid securities listed on the Schedule of Investments, the following securities are considered to be restricted as of July 31, 2018:
High Income Fund | Shares/principal | Dates Acquired | Cost Basis | Fair Value |
VICI Properties, Inc - Common Stock | 20,727 | 10/9/17 | 229,642 | 421,794 |

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 Funds’ 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, 2018:

Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for sector classification. The Funds consider transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 as of the end of the reporting period, which there were none during the reporting period. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments at any time during the seven month period ended July 31, 2018.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments, including certain disclosures related to significant inputs used in valuing Level 3 investments, is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets.
The changes of the fair value of investments during the seven month period ended July 31, 2018, for which the Funds have used Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value are as follow:

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 Integrity Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC (“Corridor Investors” or “Corridor”), the Funds’ sponsor. For Integrity High Income Fund, JPMIM is the sub-adviser. 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 each Fund’s average daily net assets. VFM has also contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions and acquired fund fees and expenses, so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed a certain rate. After April 29, 2019 (April 30, 2019 for High Income Fund), the expense limitations 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. Accordingly, after voluntary and contractual fee waivers and reimbursements, the Energized Dividend Fund’s actual total expenses for Class A, C, and I were 0.50%, 1.25%, and 0.25%, respectively, for the seven months ended July 31, 2018 and 0.35%, 1.10%, and 0.10%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017, of average daily net assets. VFM and the affiliated service providers have agreed to voluntarily waive the affiliated service provider’s fees before voluntarily or contractually waiving VFM’s management fee. 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 its 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 and/or service fee of up to 0.25% (0.50% for WB/MNA Stock Fund) for Class A and 1.00% for Class C of the average daily net assets. Class I shares do not have a 12b-1 plan in place. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

NOTE 8: Principal Risks
The High Income Fund may be invested in lower-rated debt securities that have a higher risk of default or loss of value since these securities may be sensitive to economic changes, political changes or adverse developments specific to the issuer.
The WB/MNA Stock Fund invests significantly in relatively few sectors, primarily the energy sector, and has more exposure to the price movement of this sector than funds that diversify their investments among many sectors.
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Integrity Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The Integrity Funds, comprising the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund, Integrity Energized Dividend Fund, Integrity Growth & Income Fund, Integrity High Income Fund and Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund (the “Funds”), as of July 31, 2018, and the related statements of operations for the seven months ended July 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, the statements of changes in net assets for the seven months ended July 31, 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the period ended July 31, 2018 (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, 2018, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the period ended July 31, 2018, 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 include 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 include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2018, or by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or counterparties were not received. 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.

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 Funds 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.
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.
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 Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 Funds 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.
