NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

June 30, 2006 and 2005

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc., a North Dakota corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc., as filed with the SEC.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005, contained herein, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures included in the Form 10-KSB and applicable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but not required for interim reporting purposes, have been condensed or omitted. 

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. 

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES 

The Company sponsors several mutual funds.  Deferred sales commissions relating to some of its sponsored mutual funds are amortized over five years for income tax purposes and amortized over eight years for financial reporting purposes.  The effects of these differences will create timing differences between when the commissions are deducted for income tax purposes and expensed as amortization for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities may result from these timing differences. 

The Company has completed various acquisitions in recent years, whereby the Company acquired the management rights to several mutual funds.   These management rights have been classified as goodwill at the time of acquisition.  The Company amortizes certain goodwill for tax purposes. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually for book purposes, during the second quarter of each fiscal year.  The annual test is done at the reporting unit level using a fair value approach, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.  Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities may result from these timing differences. 

In December of 2005, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" (See Note 6 - Stock Warrants, Stock Splits, and Stock Options.)  As a result, the Company expenses stock-based employee compensation for book purposes on the grant date, but does not expense them for tax purposes until such options are exercised.  Deferred tax assets are a result of these timing differences. 

The Company has federal and state operating loss carryforwards that will expire over the next six to twenty years if unused, as well as a capital loss carryforward that will expire in 2008 if unused.  Deferred tax assets are a result of these timing differences. 

NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATION 

Certain amounts in the 2005 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on the Company's net income, except for the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123R as discussed in Note 6 - Stock Warrants, Stock Splits, and Stock Options.

NOTE 4 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On April 22, 2005, the Company acquired the management rights to the IPS Millennium Fund and the IPS New Frontier Fund from IPS Advisory, Inc. ("IPS Advisory"), and merged them into a new Integrity Fund called the Integrity Growth & Income Fund.  The two funds had combined assets of approximately $57 million at the time of acquisition.  The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately 656,000 common shares of the Company.  The Company provided IPS Advisory with 250,000 common shares upon closing.  The remaining consideration of approximately 406,000 common shares, which is subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the fund, is to be issued as follows:  203,000 common shares at the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and 203,000 common shares at the two-year anniversary of the closing date.  The shares will be subject to a put option which will allow the holders of the shares to put them back to the Company at a price equal to the market price of the Company's shares as of the closing date, which was $.36 per share.  The put option will be exercisable with respect to one-third of the shares per year starting on the third anniversary of the closing date.  The Company will also provide IPS Advisory with a stock option incentive bonus based on growth in assets in the Fund based on the following schedule:  150,000 options on the Company's common shares when assets of the fund reach $100 million and 150,000 options on the Company's common shares when the assets of the Fund reach $200 million.  The options will have a strike price of $.65 per share and mature 10 years from the closing date.  The securities issued in connection with this transaction will be issued on a private placement basis. In May of 2006, the Company provided IPS Advisory with 158,603 common shares.  In June of 2006, the liability relating to this acquisition was valued at approximately $198,984 to reflect the assets in the acquired funds as of June 30, 2006. 

On September 19, 2003, the Company acquired the management rights to the four stock funds in the Willamette Family of Funds.  The four funds had combined assets of approximately $63 million at the time of acquisition.  The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately $1,400,000.  The majority of the purchase price, or approximately $900,000, was paid upon closing.  The remaining consideration of approximately $500,000, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the funds, was to be paid as follows:  $350,000 within five business days of the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and $150,000 within five business days of the two-year anniversary of the closing date.  The total purchase price was paid by utilizing a commercial bank loan and lines of credit, as well as available cash on hand.  In September of 2004, the one-year anniversary payment of approximately $323,000 was made, which reflected the assets of the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary.  In September of 2005, the final payment of approximately $90,000 was made, which reflected the assets in the acquired funds at the two-year anniversary.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, during the second quarter of each fiscal year, at the reporting unit level using a fair value approach, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.  The annual testing resulted in no impairment charges to goodwill in 2006.  If an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, goodwill will be evaluated for impairment between annual tests. 

NOTE 6 - STOCK WARRANTS, STOCK SPLITS, AND STOCK OPTIONS 

In December of 2005, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS No. 123R") which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified retroactive restatement method, which requires the restatement of all periods presented to reflect stock-based employee compensation cost under the fair value-based accounting method for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.  Total compensation costs and deferred tax benefits recognized for stock-based compensation awards for the six- month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, were as follows:

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

GENERAL 

Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc., derives a portion of its revenues and net income from providing investment management, distribution, shareholder services, fund accounting, and other related administrative services to the open-end investment companies known as "Integrity Mutual Funds," "Integrity Managed Portfolios," and "The Integrity Funds," hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Funds."  Integrity Mutual Funds currently consists of three open-end investment companies, including ND Tax-Free Fund, Inc., Montana Tax-Free Fund, Inc., and Integrity Fund of Funds, Inc.  Integrity Managed Portfolios currently consists of one open-end investment company containing six separate series, including the Kansas Municipal Fund, Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, and New Hampshire Municipal Fund.  The Integrity Funds currently consists of one open-end investment company containing seven separate series, including Integrity Value Fund, Integrity Small Cap Growth Fund, Integrity Health Sciences Fund, Integrity Technology Fund, Integrity High Income Fund, Integrity Growth & Income Fund, and Integrity All Season Fund.  Capital Financial Services, Inc. ("CFS"), the Company's broker-dealer subsidiary, provides another substantial portion of revenues through sales of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities. 

The Company organizes its current business units into two reportable segments: mutual fund services and broker-dealer services. The mutual fund services segment provides investment advisory, distribution, shareholder services, fund accounting, and other related administrative services to the Funds. The broker-dealer services segment distributes securities and insurance products to retail investors through a network of registered representatives. 

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. Most of the businesses were acquired as a unit, and the management at the time of the acquisitions was retained.

Operating revenues 

Total operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006, were $6,356,201, an increase of 37% from $4,631,193 for the same period in 2005.  Total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were $12,703,865, an increase of 38% from $9,179,214 for the same period in 2005.  The increases resulted from increased fee income received from the Funds, as well as increased commission and fee income relating to CFS. 

Fee Income 

Fee income for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $1,745,710, an increase of 49% from $1,173,647 for the same period in 2005.  Fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $3,214,929, an increase of 43% from $2,252,214 for the same period in 2005.  The increases were due primarily to fees received in connection with new funds that were acquired and/or opened during 2004 and 2005, as well as additional assets under management in CFS's registered investment advisor resulting from recruiting efforts during 2005. 

The Company receives fees for providing investment advisory services to the Funds.  In some cases, all or a portion of the investment advisory fees received by the Company are paid to outside investment advisors for advisory services provided to the Funds.  These  fees constituted 7% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 

The Company also earns investment advisory fees in connection with CFS's registered investment advisor.  The Company pays the registered representatives a portion of this fee income as commission expense and retains the balance.  These fees constituted 5% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 

The Company receives fees from the Funds for providing transfer agency, fund accounting, and other administrative services.  These fees constituted 8% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 

The Company earns Rule 12b-1 fees in connection with the distribution of Fund shares.  A portion of these fees are paid out to other broker-dealers, with the remaining amount retained by the Company to pay for expenses related to the distribution of the Funds.  These fees constituted 5% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Commission Income 

Commission income includes CFS commissions and 12b-1 fees associated with the sale of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities.  The Company pays the registered representatives a percentage of this income as commission expense and retains the balance.  Commission income also includes underwriting fees associated with sales of Fund shares subject to front-end sales loads ("FESLs"), and the dealer commission associated with sales of Fund shares subject to FESLs, which is paid out to other broker-dealers as commission expense.  Commission income for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $4,610,491, an increase of 33% from $3,457,546 for the same period in 2005.  Commission income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $9,488,936, an increase of 37% from $6,927,000 for the same period in 2005.  The increases were due primarily to recruiting efforts for new registered representatives in CFS during 2005.  Commission revenues constituted 75% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 

Operating expenses 

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006, were $6,262,729, an increase of 33% from $4,702,462 for the same period in 2005.  Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were $12,689,156, an increase of 38% from $9,215,833 for the same period in 2005.  The increases were a result of the net activity in the major expense categories, as described in the paragraphs that follow. 

Compensation and benefits 

Total compensation and benefits expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $853,815, a decrease of 1% from $863,976 for the same period in 2005.  Total compensation and benefits expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $1,792,185, an increase of 9% from $1,639,703 for the same period in 2005.  The six month increase results primarily from the addition of several new employees to the Company over the past twelve months, and increased incentive overrides paid to certain employees for new business acquisitions and the recruitment of new registered representatives. 

In May of 2004, the Company implemented a restructuring of wholesaler compensation to a base salary plus incentive formula.  At the time of implementation, five wholesalers were added to the Company payroll.  The primary function of the wholesalers is to market the Company's Funds to registered representatives.  Currently, the wholesaling team consists of 16 wholesalers, seven of which are employees of the Company.  The remaining members of the wholesaling team are independent contractors working on a straight commission basis.  The wholesalers are allowed monthly general and administrative expenses to support their sales efforts.  Management expects to continue to maintain and support the wholesaling team in 2006.  The Company's compensation and benefits expense may continue to increase as a result of this effort. 

Commission expense 

Total commission expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $4,574,628, an increase of 47% from $3,106,232 for the same period in 2005.  Total commission expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $9,206,314, an increase of 47% from $6,248,083 for the same period in 2005.  The increases correspond with the increases in fee and commission income. 

General and administrative expenses 

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006, were $722,135, an increase of 16% from $624,625 for the same period in 2005.  Total general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were $1,475,984, an increase of 32% from $1,121,717 for the same period in 2005.  The increases are primarily attributable to sub-advisory fees paid relating to new funds that were acquired and/or opened during 2004 and 2005, as well as distribution expenses paid to the members of the wholesaling team. 

In May of 2004, the Company implemented a restructuring of wholesaler compensation to a base salary plus incentive formula.  At the time of implementation, five wholesalers were added to the Company payroll.  The primary function of the wholesalers is to market the Company's Funds to registered representatives.  Currently, the wholesaling team consists of 16 wholesalers, seven of which are employees of the Company.  The remaining members of the wholesaling team are independent contractors working on a straight commission basis.  The wholesalers are allowed monthly general and administrative expenses to support their sales efforts.  Management expects to continue to maintain and support the wholesaling team in 2006.  The Company's general and administrative expenses may continue to increase as a result of this effort. 

Sales commissions amortized 

Sales commissions paid to brokers and dealers in connection with the sale of shares of the Funds sold without a FESL are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis.  The Company amortizes the sales commissions relating to some of the Company's sponsored funds over eight years, which best approximates management's estimate of the average life of investor's accounts in these funds and coincides with conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares.  CDSCs received by the Company are recorded as a reduction of unamortized deferred sales commissions. 

Amortization of deferred sales commissions for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $83,380, an increase of 9% from $76,630 for the same period in 2005.  Amortization of deferred sales commissions for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $157,108, an increase of 3% from $152,232 for the same period in 2005. 

Depreciation and amortization 

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $28,771, a decrease of 7% from $30,999 for the same period in 2005.  Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $57,565, an increase of 6% from $54,098 for the same period in 2005. 

Liquidity and capital resources 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $11,997 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $11,013 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The primary reason for this increase was a decreased net loss for six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. 

Net cash used by investing activities was $25,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $121,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The primary investing activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was the purchase of computer equipment. 

Net cash used by financing activities was $192,907 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $385,715 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The major financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were the repayment of $250,000 of convertible debentures that matured on January 15, 2006, pursuant to the Company's acquisition of CFS, the repayment of a $201,615 of bank debt, and a cash injection of $301,866 to an existing loan with First Western Bank pursuant to a loan modification. 

At June 30, 2006, the Company held $1,330,593 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $1,537,391 at December 31, 2005.  Liquid assets, which consist of cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale, decreased to $1,338,901 at June 30, 2006, from $1,537,599 at December 31, 2005.  The Company is required to maintain certain levels of cash and liquid securities in its broker-dealer subsidiaries to meet regulatory net capital requirements. 

In January of 2005, the Company repurchased 500,000 common shares for $250,000 pursuant to a put option related to its acquisition of CFS, which was paid by utilizing a short-term bank loan.  The six-month bank loan carried an interest rate of 2.00% over the prime rate and was repaid in July of 2005.  The Company received an additional $300,025 in short-term bank debt in February of 2005 to be used primarily for working capital.  This debt carried an interest rate of 6.75% and was also repaid in July of 2005.  In June of 2005, the Company borrowed $100,000 on its revolving bank line of credit and made a final payment of approximately $26,000 relating to its acquisition of the management rights to the Canandaigua Funds.  The Company had $595,000 of subordinated debentures that matured on June 30, 2005.  These subordinated debentures were repaid by utilizing a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of the Company's new 9¼% subordinated corporate notes, which mature on January 1, 2011.  As of June 30, 2006, the Company has $2 million of subordinated corporate notes outstanding.  In September of 2005, the Company made a final payment of approximately $90,000 relating to its acquisition of the management rights to the Willamette Funds. 

The Company has had cash requirements to meet several liabilities coming due in 2006.  In January of 2006, the Company repaid $250,000 of convertible debentures that matured pursuant to its acquisition of CFS, which was paid by using available cash.  In May of 2006, an existing loan with First Western Bank was modified.  The modification called for a $301,866 cash injection to the outstanding balance of the loan.  The loan now carries an interest rate of 8.25%, and based on the monthly payments of $23,200, will be paid in full on May 10, 2010.  In June of 2006, the Company paid down its $100,000 revolving bank line of credit, which was paid by utilizing a portion of the proceeds received from the above mentioned cash injection. 

The Company has historically relied upon sales of its equity securities and debt instruments, as well as bank loans for liquidity and growth. Management believes that the Company's existing liquid assets, along with cash flow from operations, will provide the Company with sufficient resources to meet its ordinary operating expenses during the next twelve months.  Significant unforeseen or extraordinary expenses may require the Company to seek alternative financing sources, including common or preferred share issuance or additional debt financing. 

In addition to the liabilities coming due in the next twelve months, management expects that the principal needs for cash may be to advance sales commissions on Funds subject to CDSCs, acquire additional investment management or financial services firms, acquire the management rights to additional outside mutual funds, repurchase shares of the Company's common stock, and service debt.  Management also expects to realize increases in expenses associated with regulatory compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including increased legal, audit, staff, and consultant expenses. 

Sales of fund shares with FESLs provide current distribution revenue to the Company in the form of the Company's share of the FESLs, and distribution revenue, over time, in the form of 12b-1 payments.  Sales of fund shares subject to CDSCs provide distribution revenue, over time, in the form of 12b-1 payments and, if shares are redeemed within five years, CDSCs.  However, the Company pays commissions on sales of Fund shares subject to CDSCs, reflects such commissions as deferred sales commissions on its balance sheet and amortizes such commissions over a period of up to eight years, thereby recognizing distribution expenses.  Therefore, to the extent that sales of Fund shares subject to CDSCs increases over time relative to sales of shares subject to FESLs, current distribution expenses may increase relative to current distribution revenues in certain periods, which would negatively impact the Company's cash flow in such periods.  In addition, the Company may need to find additional sources of funding if existing cash flow and debt facilities are insufficient to fund commissions payable to selling broker-dealers on shares subject to CDSCs if sales of Fund shares subject to CDSCs increase significantly. 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

When used herein, in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in the Company's press releases, and in other Company-authorized written or oral statements, the words and phrases "can be," "expects," "anticipates," "may affect," "may depend," "believes," "estimate," or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this "Forward-Looking Statements" section, which could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from those presently anticipated or projected.  The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. 

The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from two sources; commission revenue earned in connection with sales of shares of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities; and fees relating to the management of, and provision of services to, the Funds.  The fees earned by the Company are generally calculated as a percentage of assets under management/service.  If the Company's assets under management/service decline, or do not grow in accordance with the Company's plans, fee revenues and earnings would be materially adversely affected.  Assets under management/service may decline because redemptions of Fund shares exceed sales of Fund shares, or because of a decline in the market value of securities held by the Funds, or a combination of both. 

In seeking to sell Fund shares and market its other services, the Company operates in the highly competitive financial services industry.  The Company competes with approximately 8,000 open-end investment companies that offer shares to the investing public in the United States.  The Company also competes with the financial services and other investment alternatives offered by stock brokerage and investment banking firms, insurance companies, banks, savings and loan associations, and other financial institutions, as well as investment advisory firms.  Most of these competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company.  The Company sells Fund shares principally through third-party broker-dealers.  The Company competes for the services of such third party broker-dealers with other sponsors of mutual funds who generally have substantially greater resources than the Company.  Banks in particular have increased, and continue to increase, their sponsorship of proprietary mutual funds distributed through third-party distributors.  Many broker-dealer firms also sponsor their own proprietary mutual funds, which may limit the Company's ability to secure the distribution services of such broker-dealer firms.  In seeking to sell Fund shares, the Company also competes with increasing numbers of mutual funds that sell their shares without the imposition of sales loads.  No-load mutual funds are attractive to investors because they do not have to pay sales charges on the purchase or redemption of such mutual fund shares.  This competition may place pressure on the Company to reduce the FESLs and CDSCs charged upon the sale or redemption of Fund shares.  However, reduced sales loads would make the sale of Fund shares less attractive to the broker-dealers upon whom the Company depends for the distribution of Fund shares.  In the alternative, the Company might itself be required to pay additional fees, expenses, commissions, or charges in connection with the distribution of Fund shares, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's earnings. 

The fact that the investments of some Funds are geographically concentrated within a single state makes the market value of such investments particularly vulnerable to economic conditions within that state.  In addition, the states in which the investments of the Funds, as a group, are concentrated are themselves concentrated in certain regions of the United States.  The Company's fee revenues may, therefore, be adversely affected by economic conditions within such regions. 

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, and future results could differ materially from historical performance: 

·         General political and economic conditions which may be less favorable than expected;

·         The effect of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, the stock markets, or other financial markets;

·         Unfavorable legislative, regulatory, or judicial developments;

·         Incidence and severity of catastrophes, both natural and man-made;

·         Changes in accounting rules, policies, practices, and procedures which may adversely affect the business;

·         Terrorist activities or other hostilities that may adversely affect the general economy.
