The Company has been engaged in the financial services business since 1987. The Company was incorporated September 22, 1987, as a North Dakota corporation by Robert E. Walstad, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  The Company's principal offices are located at 1 Main Street North, Minot, North Dakota 58703.  The Company also has an office in Huntington, New York.  As of December 31, 2005, the Company had 48 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees, consisting of officers, investment management, securities distribution, shareholder services, data processing, compliance, accounting and clerical support staff. 

On May 25, 2000, the Company acquired ARM Securities Corporation for cash.  On January 15, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the equity stock of Capital Financial Services, Inc. ("CFS"), a full-service brokerage firm based in Madison, Wisconsin for cash, common stock subject to a put option, stock options, and convertible debentures.  The securities issued in connection with this transaction were issued on a private placement basis.  CFS specializes in providing investment products and services to independent investment representatives, financial planners, and investment advisors, and currently supports approximately 250 investment representatives and investment advisors. On June 3, 2003, the Company announced the consolidation of ARM Securities Corporation and Capital Financial Services, Inc., into one firm - Capital Financial Services, Inc. 

On May 23, 2003, the Company acquired the management rights to the CNB Funds, which included the $13 million Canandaigua Equity Fund, a large-cap growth fund, and the $1 million Canandaigua Bond Fund.  The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately $285,000.  The majority of the purchase price, or approximately $160,000, was paid upon closing.  The remaining consideration of approximately $125,000, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the funds, was to be paid as follows:  $62,500 at the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and $62,500 at the two-year anniversary of the closing date.  The total purchase price was paid by using available cash on hand.  In June of 2004, the one-year anniversary payment of approximately $44,000 was paid, which reflected the assets in the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary.  In June of 2005, the final payment of approximately $26,000 was made, which reflected the assets in the acquired funds at the two-year anniversary. 

On May 30, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the equity stock of Abbington Capital Management, Inc.  The purchase consideration was comprised of 700,000 shares of unregistered $.0001 par value common stock of the Company determined by both parties to have a total value of $210,000.  The common stock was issued in a private placement, exempt from registration, pursuant to the following delivery schedule:  200,000 shares at closing; 200,000 shares on August 31, 2003; 200,000 shares on December 31, 2003; and 100,000 shares on April 30, 2004.  As a part of the transaction, the Company received a license for the Portfolio Manager's Stock Selection Matrix, a quantitative investment model for managing equity portfolios.  The shares were issued in a private placement exempt from registration under federal securities laws or any state registration requirements and are subject to the resale restrictions on unregistered securities. 

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. 

On December 19, 2003, the Company acquired the management rights to the Maine and New Hampshire Tax-Saver Bond Funds from Forum Financial Group.  The two funds had combined assets of approximately $43 million at the time of acquisition.  The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately $750,000.  The majority of the purchase price, or approximately $425,000, was paid upon closing.  The remaining consideration of approximately $325,000, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the funds, was placed in an escrow account that was to be paid out on the first anniversary of the closing date.  The total purchase price was paid with cash generated from a private placement of preferred stock.  In December of 2004, the final payment of approximately $285,000 was made, which reflected the assets in the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary. 

On February 12, 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with SMH Capital Advisors, Inc.  In accordance with the agreement, the Company set up a Fund as a new series under the Integrity Funds called the Integrity High Income Fund.  The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrity Money Management, Inc., serves as the Fund's investment advisor.  SMH Capital Advisors, Inc., serves as the Fund's investment sub-advisor.  The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrity Funds Distributor, Inc., serves as distributor to the Fund, and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrity Fund Services, Inc., serves as administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant to the Fund.  The initial set-up of the Fund did not require a material cash outlay by the Company.  The assets of the Integrity High Income Fund were approximately $62 million as of December 31, 2005. 

On January 27, 2005, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with All Season Financial Advisors, Inc.  In accordance with the agreement, the Company set up a Fund as a new series under the Integrity Funds called the Integrity All Season Fund.  The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrity Money Management, Inc., serves as the Fund's investment advisor.  All Season Financial Advisors, Inc., serves as the Fund's investment sub-advisor.  The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrity Funds Distributor, Inc., serves as distributor to the Fund, and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrity Fund Services, Inc., serves as administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant to the Fund.  The initial set-up of the Fund did not require a material cash outlay by the Company.  The assets of the Integrity All Season Fund were approximately $11 million as of December 31, 2005. 

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 December of 2005, the liability relating to this acquisition was valued at approximately $224,000 to reflect the assets in the acquired funds as of December 31, 2005. 

THE COMPANY'S SUBSIDIARIES 

The Company derives most of its income from two lines of business.  The first line of business provides investment management, distribution, shareholder services, fund accounting, and other related administrative services to the Funds. The other provides order processing, regulatory oversight, concession processing, and other related services to registered securities representatives transacting securities business for their clients. As a result, the Company is economically dependent on the Funds, the representatives, and others, for substantially all of its revenue and income. These businesses are conducted through the wholly-owned subsidiary companies described below. Revenues generated by the subsidiaries' fund services are derived primarily from fees based on the level of assets under management. Revenues generated by the broker-dealer's support of securities sales are derived primarily through a sharing of sales concessions paid by the products being sold to clients.

Magic Internet Services, Inc. 

Effective June 26, 2003, the Company sold its 51% ownership in Magic Internet Services, Inc. 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS 

Investment Advisory Services 

Integrity Money Management acts as investment advisor to the Funds pursuant to investment advisory agreements with such Funds.  Integrity Money Management supervises and implements the Funds' investment activities, including determining which securities to buy and sell, and which broker-dealers to effect Fund securities transactions through. 

Generally, each Fund pays Integrity Money Management an investment advisory fee, payable monthly and based on the Funds' net assets.  Investment advisory fees are generally voluntarily waived or reduced, and the investment advisor may absorb other Fund expenses for a period of time to ensure that the Funds have competitive fee structures. 

The investment advisory agreements pursuant to which Integrity Money Management provides investment advisory services continue in effect for successive annual periods as long as such continuance is approved annually by (a) either (i) a majority vote cast in person at a meeting of the relevant Fund's Board of Directors or Trustees called for that purpose, or (ii) a vote of the holders of a majority of the relevant Fund's outstanding voting securities, and (b) a majority of the relevant Funds' directors or trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or interested persons of the Funds or the Company within the meaning of the Advisers Act. 

Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement without penalty after specified written notice.  Each investment advisory agreement also automatically terminates in the event of its "assignment," as defined in the Advisers Act.  To date, no such investment advisory agreements have been terminated. 

Transfer Agency, Fund Accounting, and Administrative Services

Transfer agency, fund accounting, and other shareholder administrative services are provided to the Funds by Integrity Fund Services.  Integrity Fund Services receives fees from the Funds for providing such services pursuant to contracts with the Funds.  The contracts generally provide for Integrity Fund Services to be paid its servicing fees based on the net assets of each Fund, subject to certain minimum fees per Fund.  The contracts between the Funds and Integrity Fund Services are approved annually by the Funds' board of directors or trustees. 

Distribution of Fund Shares 

Pursuant to distribution agreements, Integrity Funds Distributor acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the Funds.  The distribution agreements generally provide that Integrity Funds Distributor shall distribute Fund shares and pay the expenses thereof.  Fund shares are sold primarily by broker-dealers with whom Integrity Funds Distributor has entered into dealer sales agreements. 

Integrity Funds Distributor earns the underwriter's portion of FESLs received in connection with sales of Fund shares effected by other broker-dealers and also earns CDSCs in connection with redemptions of Fund shares subject to CDSCs. 

Each of the Funds (other than Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund and Integrity Fund of Funds) has adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan pursuant to which Integrity Funds Distributor earns Rule 12b-1 fees in connection with its distribution of Fund shares.  Integrity Funds Distributor pays other broker-dealers a portion of these fees and retains the balance. 

The 12b-1 Plans are established for an initial term of one year.  Thereafter, they must be approved annually by the Board of Directors or Trustees, including a majority of the disinterested directors or trustees of each Fund.  Each Plan is subject to termination at any time by a majority of the Funds' disinterested directors or trustees or by the Funds' shareholders. 

Brokerage Commissions 

CFS's primary source of revenue is commission revenue in connection with sales of shares of mutual funds,  insurance products, and various other securities.  CFS receives commission and Rule 12b-1 servicing revenue generated from the sale of investment products originated by its registered representatives.  CFS pays a portion of the revenue generated to its registered representatives and retains the balance. 

REGULATION 

Virtually all aspects of the Company's businesses are subject to various complex and extensive federal and state laws and regulations.  Regulated areas include, but are not limited to, the effecting of securities transactions, the financial condition of the Company's subsidiaries, record-keeping and reporting procedures, relationships with clients, and experience and training requirements for certain employees.  The Company's subsidiaries are registered with various federal and state government agencies, including the SEC, as well as the NASD, a self-regulatory industry organization. 

Integrity Funds Distributor and CFS are registered broker-dealers, subject to extensive regulation and periodic examinations by the SEC, the NASD, and state agencies in those states in which Integrity Funds Distributor and CFS conduct business.  As broker-dealers, Integrity Funds Distributor and CFS are subject to the Net Capital Rule promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act.  This rule requires that a broker-dealer must maintain certain minimum net capital and that its aggregate indebtedness may not exceed specified limitations.  Integrity Money Management is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor under the Advisers Act and is subject to regulation thereunder, and is also subject to regulation under certain state laws.  The Funds are subject to extensive regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and, along with Integrity Money Management, are subject to periodic examinations by the SEC. 

Federal and state laws and regulations, and the rules of the NASD, grant broad powers to such regulatory agencies and organizations.  These include the power to limit, restrict, or prevent the Company from carrying on its business if it fails to comply with such laws, regulations and rules.  Other possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, restrictions on the Company expanding its business or paying cash dividends, the revocation of the investment advisor, broker dealer, or transfer agent registrations, expulsions, censures, and/or fines. 

To the extent that existing or future regulations affecting the sale of Fund shares or their investment strategies cause or contribute to reduced sales of Fund shares, or impair the investment performance of the Funds, the Company's aggregate assets under management and its revenues might be adversely affected. 

Since 1993, the NASD rules have limited the amount of aggregate sales charges which may be paid in connection with the purchase and holding of investment company shares sold through broker-dealers.  Congress and the SEC presently are considering amendments to Rule 12b-1 and other statutory provisions and rules that regulate the distribution of mutual fund shares.  The effect of the rule amendments and other legislative or regulatory actions might be to limit the amount of fees that could be paid pursuant to a fund's 12b-1 Plan in a situation where a fund has no, or limited, new sales for a prolonged period of time, as well as the imposition of other limits on the use of fund assets to pay for distribution. 

The officers, directors, and employees of the Company may, from time to time, own securities that are also owned by one or more of the Funds.  The Company's internal policies with respect to individual investments by employees, including officers and directors who are employed by the Company, require prior clearance and reporting of some transactions and restrict certain transactions so as to reduce the possibility of conflicts of interest. 

COMPETITION 

The financial services industry is highly competitive.  Industry sources indicate that there are approximately 8,000 open-end investment companies of varying sizes, investment objectives and policies which offer their shares to the investing public in the United States.  Since its inception, the Company has competed with numerous larger, more established mutual fund management organizations.  The Company is also in competition with the financial services and investment alternatives offered by stock brokerage firms, insurance companies, banks, savings and loans associations, and other financial institutions, as well as investment advisory firms.  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 which 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 funds' 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 materially adverse effect on the Company's earnings. 

The Company also participates in two other highly competitive related sectors of the financial services industry; retail brokerage and investment advisory services. The Company competes directly with full-service stock brokerage firms, registered investment advisors, banks, regional broker-dealers, and other independent broker-dealers. Each of these competitors offers to the public many of the same investment products and services offered by the Company. Further, other broker-dealers providing the same services heavily recruit the representatives and advisors transacting business through the Company. This competition forces the Company to maintain high levels of support services and commission payouts for these representatives and advisors. These high levels of services and payouts could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's earnings.

AVAILABILITY OF SEC REPORTS 

All SEC reports are made available on the Company's website at www.integrityfunds.com.  These reports, including annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports of Form 10-QSB, and current reports on Form 8-K, are available on the same day they are filed with the SEC. 

Item 2     Description of Property 

The Company operates the majority of its business out of its location at 1 Main Street North, Minot, North Dakota in which it occupies approximately 15,000 square feet of office space in a 28,000 square foot building, which it owns.  As of December 31, 2005, the building has a $401,483 mortgage.  The Company also leases approximately 800 square feet of office space in Huntington, New York for part of its investment advisory services.

Item 3     Legal Proceedings 

The North Dakota Attorney General's Office and the North Dakota Securities Department raised issues concerning the Company's status as a North Dakota venture capital corporation under Chapter 10-30.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, including the method and manner of the Company's compliance with reporting requirements respecting the sales of certain investments made by the Company in non-qualified entities under the venture capital corporation statute, the availability of the venture capital corporation exemption from registration for the sales of certain securities, and the subsequent use of offering circulars omitting references to information pertaining to the Company's compliance with North Dakota's venture capital corporation requirements. 

On March 22, 2004, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the North Dakota Attorney General's Office, as a result of which the Company agreed (i) to change its corporate structure from that of a venture capital corporation to that of a regular business corporation, (ii) to fully and completely comply with all of the provisions of Chapter 10-30.1 of the North Dakota Century Code until such time as the corporate structure is changed, and (iii) to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $10,000 if the Company did not comply with the conditions in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above.  The shareholders of the Company approved the change in its corporate structure at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 28, 2004, and the Company believes that it has otherwise complied with the requirements of the settlement agreement. 

On March 9, 2005, the Company and the North Dakota Securities Department reached a settlement of all outstanding issues raised by the North Dakota Securities Department with respect to the Company's status as a North Dakota venture capital corporation and exemptions from registration claimed thereunder.  As a result of such settlement, the Company made a voluntary donation of $25,000 to the Investor Education and Technology Fund and no civil or criminal penalties were assessed against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of its principals. 

The Company has no other pending legal proceedings which are material to the financial affairs of the Company.

A substantial portion of the Company's revenues depend upon the amount of assets under its management/service.  Assets under management/service can be affected by the addition of new funds to the group, the acquisition of another investment management company, purchases and redemptions of mutual fund shares, and investment performance, which may depend on general market conditions.  Assets under the Company's management/service increased by $21,858,542 (6.1%) in 2005 compared to 2004 and decreased by $34,233,720 (8.7%) in 2004 compared to 2003.  Fixed income assets decreased by 4.6% in 2005 compared to 2004, and decreased by 6.9% in 2004 compared to 2003.  Fixed income assets accounted for 72.1% of the total assets under management/service in 2005 and 80.2% in 2004.  Equity assets increased by 49.4% in 2005 compared to 2004, and decreased 15.2% in 2004 compared to 2003. Equity assets accounted for 27.9% of total assets under management/service in 2005 and 19.8% in 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, amounts included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and the percentage change in those amounts from period to period. 

In December of 2005, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 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.  SFAS 123R supersedes the Company's previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB 25").  The Company adopted SFAS 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.  (See Note 9 - Stock Warrants, Stock Splits, and Stock Options, located in the audited financial statements.)

Year Ended December 31, 2005, compared with Year Ended December 31, 2004: 

Operating Revenues - Total operating revenues for 2005 were $19,440,756, an increase of 14.4% from $16,990,571 in 2004.  The increase results from increased fee income received from the funds, as well as an increase in commission revenues relating to the broker-dealer services segment. 

Fee Income - Fee income for 2005 was $4,788,853, a 9.3% increase from $4,382,788 in 2004.  The increase was due primarily to fees received in connection with new funds that were acquired and/or opened during 2004 and 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 sub-advisory services provided to the Funds.  Investment advisory fees constituted 8% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2005.  The Company also receives fees from the Funds for providing transfer agency, fund accounting, and other administrative services.  These fees constituted 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2005. 

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 7% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2005. 

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"), as well as contingent deferred sales changes ("CDSCs") earned in connection with redemptions of Fund shares subject to CDSCs, 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 2005 was $14,651,903, a 16.2% increase over $12,607,783 in 2004.  The increase was due primarily to recruiting efforts for new registered representatives in CFS during 2005.  Commission revenues constituted 75% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2005. 

Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses for 2005 were $19,644,881, a 14.5% increase from $17,155,589 in 2004.  The increase was a result of the net activity in the major expense categories, as described in the paragraphs that follow. 

Compensation and Benefits - Compensation and benefits expenses for 2005 were $3,330,165, a 6.7% increase from $3,120,309 in 2004.  The increase results primarily from the addition of several new employees to the Company over the past twelve months, annual compensation and benefits increases, increased incentive overrides paid to certain employees for sales, the recruitment of new registered representatives and new business acquisitions, and a 401(k) match of up to 4% of employee deferrals that was implemented effective January 1, 2005. 

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 14 wholesalers, five 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 expand the wholesaling team in 2006.  The Company's compensation and benefits expense may continue to increase as a result of this effort. 

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.  SFAS No. 123R supersedes the Company's previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB 25").  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.  (See Note 9 - Stock Warrants, Stock Splits, and Stock Options, located in the audited financial statements.) 

Commission Expense - Commission expense for 2005 was $13,283,057, a 16.5% increase from $11,405,775 in 2004. The increase corresponds to the increase in commission income. 

General and Administrative Expenses - Total general and administrative expense for 2005 were $2,571,576, an increase of 16.5% over $2,208,038 in 2004.  The increase was due primarily to sub-advisory fees paid in connection with new funds that were acquired and/or opened during 2004 and 2005.

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 14 wholesalers, five 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 expand 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 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 mutual 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 2005 was $316,928, a 1.6% decrease from $321,942 in 2004. 

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization for 2005 was $143,155, a 43.8% increase from $99,525 in 2004.  The primary reason for the change was an increase in amortization of computer software costs.  Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Under SFAS No. 142, the Company no longer amortizes its goodwill and certain other intangibles over their estimated useful lives.  Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test.  There were no impairment adjustments made during 2005. 

Interest and Other Income - Interest and other income for 2005 was $54,896, a 17.0% decrease from $66,155 in 2004.  The decrease was primarily the result of decreased dividend income earned on money market accounts. 

Interest Expense - Interest expense was $301,934 for 2005, a 9.7% increase from $275,247 in 2004.  The increase was primarily the result of the issuance of $2 million of 9¼% subordinated corporate notes during the year, which was used, in part, to retire $595,000 of 12% subordinated debentures that matured in June of 2005. 

Year Ended December 31, 2004, compared with Year Ended December 31, 2003: 

Operating Revenues - Total operating revenues for 2004 were $16,990,571, an 21.7% increase from $13,956,173 in 2003.  The increase results from increased fee income received from the funds, as well as an increase in commission revenues relating to the broker-dealer services segment. 

Fee Income - Fee income for 2004 was $4,382,788, a 33.8% increase from $3,274,984 in 2003.  The increase in fee income was due primarily to fees received in connection with several new mutual funds acquired during 2003.  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 sub-advisory services provided to the Funds.  Investment advisory fees constituted 8% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2004.  The Company also receives fees from the Funds for providing transfer agency, fund accounting, and other administrative services.  These fees constituted 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2004. 

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 7% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2004. 

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"), as well as contingent deferred sales changes ("CDSCs") earned in connection with redemptions of Fund shares subject to CDSCs, 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 2004 was $12,607,783, an 18.0% increase from $10,681,189 in 2003.  The increase is due primarily to an increase in transaction activity and recruiting efforts for new registered representatives in CFS during 2004.  Commission revenues constituted 75% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2004. 

Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses for 2004 were $17,155,589, a 27.5% increase from $13,460,164 in 2003.  The increase was a result of the net activity in the major expense categories, as described in the paragraphs that follow.

Compensation and Benefits - Compensation and benefits expense for 2004 was $3,120,309, a 62.5% increase from $1,919,798 in 2003.  The increase is primarily the result of the factors described in the following two paragraphs. 

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 14 wholesalers, five 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 expand the wholesaling team.  The Company's compensation and benefits expense may continue to increase as a result of this effort.

Commission Expense - Commission expense for 2004 was $11,405,775, a 22.0% increase from $9,347,887 in 2003. The increase corresponds with the increase in commission income. 

General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses for 2004 were $2,208,038, a 28.9% increase over $1,713,187 in 2003.  The increase was due primarily to expenses incurred relating to several new Funds that were acquired in 2003, as well as increased travel and entertainment expenses in connection with the expanding wholesaling staff. 

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 14 wholesalers, five 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 expand the wholesaling team.  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 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 mutual 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 was $321,942 in 2004, a 14.5% decrease from $376,386 in 2003 due to some of the Company's deferred sales commissions becoming fully amortized. 

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization for 2004 was $99,525, a 3.3% decrease from $102,906 in 2003.  Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Under SFAS 142, the Company no longer amortizes its goodwill and certain other intangibles over their estimated useful lives.  Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. 

Interest and Other Income - Interest and other income for 2004 was $66,155, a 35.0% decrease from $101,849 in 2003.  The decrease was primarily the result of a change in the way that the CFS annual sales and compliance meeting was accounted for beginning in 2004. 

Interest Expense - Interest expense for 2004 was $275,247, a 6.9% decrease from $295,547 in 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of the maturity of debentures in mid-2003 and corporate notes in mid-2004, which were partially replaced by subordinated commercial notes and short-term bank loans carrying lower rates of interest.

On December 31, 2005, the Company's liquid assets totaled $1,537,599, including $1,537,391 of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $873,017 of which $867,528 represented cash and cash equivalents, on December 31, 2004, and $2,605,747 of which $2,581,360 represented cash and cash equivalents, on December 31, 2003.  The Company is required to maintain certain levels of cash and liquid securities in its broker-dealer subsidiaries to meet regulatory net capital requirements. 

The Company has historically relied upon sales of its equity securities and debt instruments, as well as bank loans, for liquidity and growth.  In January of 2004, the Company repurchased 500,000 common shares for $250,000 under a put option related to its acquisition of CFS.  In March of 2004, the Company paid approximately $160,000 of 2003 tax obligations.  In June of 2004, the Company borrowed $200,000 on a non-revolving bank line of credit, and $100,000 on a revolving bank line of credit that was used, along with existing cash, to repay $962,000 of corporate notes that matured on June 30, 2004.  $200,000 of the bank debt was repaid in December of 2004, and the remaining balance of $100,000 was repaid in May of 2005.  Also in 2004, the Company made additional payments of approximately $367,000 relating to the acquisitions of the management rights to the Canandaigua and Willamette Funds.

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 December 31, 2005, 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 several cash requirements for liabilities coming due in 2006.  In January of 2006, the Company repaid $250,000 in convertible debentures that matured using cash on hand.  These convertible debentures were issued in relation to its acquisition of CFS. Also, in June of 2006, $100,000 of short-term bank debt will mature. 

Management believes that the Company's existing liquid assets, along with expected cash flow from operations, will provide the Company with sufficient resources to meet its cash requirements during the next twelve months.  In addition to the liabilities coming due in 2006, 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.  The Company may also 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 with CDSCs provide distribution revenue over time in the form of 12b-1 payments and, if shares are redeemed within 5 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 with CDSCs increases over time relative to sales of shares with FESLs, current distribution expenses may increase relative to current distribution revenues in certain periods, which would negatively impact the Company's earnings 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 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," "estimates," 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 materially 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 such 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:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Directors of
Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Minot, North Dakota 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INTEGRITY MUTUAL FUNDS, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

                The nature of operations and significant accounting policies of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc., and Subsidiaries are presented to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements.  

                Nature of operations - Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc., and Subsidiaries (the "Company") was established in September 1987 as a North Dakota corporation.  The Company derives its revenue primarily from providing investment management, distribution, shareholder services, fund accounting, and related services to sponsored mutual funds, as well as commissions earned from sales of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities.  Headquartered in Minot, North Dakota, the Company is marketing its services throughout the United States.  

                Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Integrity Money Management, Inc., Integrity Fund Services, Inc., Integrity Funds Distributor, Inc., and Capital Financial Services, Inc.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  

                Concentrations - The Company derives its revenue primarily from investment advisory and administrative services provided to sponsored mutual funds, the majority of which are state-specific municipal bond funds, as well as revenues derived from retail brokerage activities.  Company revenues are largely dependent on the total value and composition of assets under management, which include state-specific municipal bonds, as well as the sales activity of registered brokers operating as independent contractors.  Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and the composition of assets under management impact revenues and results of operations.  

                Use of estimates - The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

                Revenue recognition - Investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees, accounting service fees, and administrative service fees are recorded as revenues as the related services are provided by the Company to sponsored mutual funds.  Commission income and the related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis as securities transactions occur.  

                Stock-based compensation - In December of 2005, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 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.  SFAS 123R supersedes the Company's previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB 25").  

                The Company adopted SFAS 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.  

                Cash and cash equivalents - The Company's policy is to record all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.  Liquid investments with maturities greater than three months are recorded as investments.  

                Accounts Receivable - The Company's receivables consist primarily of fees charged to the affiliated funds for services rendered and concessions related to registered representative activity.  Management evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and using historical experience.  Based on this analysis, management feels that substantially all accounts are collectible and an allowance for doubtful accounts is not considered necessary.  Accounts receivable are written off when management deems them uncollectible.  Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.  The Company does not charge interest on its receivables.

Investments - Investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified and accounted for as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities consist of investments in the Company's sponsored mutual funds and are recorded at fair value, with the change in fair value recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in the equity section of the balance sheet.  Cost of securities sold is recognized using the specific identification method.    

Goodwill - In January 2002, the Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"), which required that goodwill, including goodwill included in the carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting and indefinite-lived other intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life, cease amortizing.  The new rules also required that goodwill of consolidated businesses and certain intangible assets be assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.  As a result, a substantial portion of the Company's goodwill and intangible assets ceased amortizing. 

Property and equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives as follows:  

Equipment

5-7 years

Building

 40 years

 

                Deferred sales commissions - Sales commissions paid to brokers and dealers in connection with the sale of shares of the sponsored mutual funds sold without a front-end sales charge (B and C shares), are capitalized and amortized on a straight line basis over a period not exceeding eight years, which approximates the period of time during which deferred sales commissions are expected to be recovered from distribution plan payments received from various sponsored mutual funds and potential contingent deferred sales charges received from shareholders of the various sponsored mutual funds.  Contingent deferred sales charges received by the Company are recorded as a reduction of unamortized deferred sales commissions. In accordance with Statement of Position 98-5, the commissions paid for the sale of Integrity Fund of Funds, Inc.'s shares have been expensed as incurred.  The contingent deferred sales charges received from early redemptions from Integrity Fund of Funds, Inc. have been recorded as revenue.  Effective January 1, 2001, the Company is amortizing most of its sales commissions over 5 years for tax purposes.  

                Other Assets - Other assets include debt issue costs, computer software costs, and other miscellaneous assets.  Debt issue costs are amortized over the life of the corresponding debt and computer software costs are amortized over an estimated useful life.  

                Advertising - Costs of advertising and promotion are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs aggregated $66,409 in 2005, $55,436 in 2004 and $86,105 in 2003.  

                Earnings per common share - Basic earnings per common share was computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 13,430,040 in 2005, 13,064,779 in 2004 and 13,674,425 in 2003.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for share equivalents arising from unexercised stock warrants, stock options, and written put options.  The weighted average shares outstanding used in computing diluted earnings per common share was 13,430,040 in 2005, 13,064,779 in 2004 and 13,674,425 in 2003.  

                Income taxes - The Company files a consolidated income tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The amount of deferred tax benefit or expense is recognized as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates.  Deferred tax benefits are recognized in the financial statements for the changes in deferred tax assets between years.  

                Reclassification - Certain amounts from 2003 and 2004 have been reclassified to conform with the 2005 presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on the Company's net income, except for the adoption of SFAS 123R as discussed in Note 9 - Stock Warrants, Stock Splits, and Stock Options.  

                Impact of Newly Issued and Proposed Accounting Standards - In December of 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have "commercial substance." SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May of 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3".  SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions.  When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed.  SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS  

                Purchase Combinations -  

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 December of 2005, the liability relating to this acquisition was valued at approximately $224,000 to reflect the assets in the acquired funds as of December 31, 2005. 

On December 19, 2003, the Company acquired the management rights to the Maine and New Hampshire Tax-Saver Bond Funds from Forum Financial Group.  The two funds had combined assets of approximately $43 million at the time of acquisition.  The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately $750,000.  The majority of the purchase price, or approximately $425,000, was paid upon closing.  The remaining consideration of approximately $325,000, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the funds, was placed in an escrow account that was to be paid out on the first anniversary of the closing date.  The total purchase price was paid with cash generated from a private placement of preferred stock.  In December of 2004, the final payment of approximately $285,000 was made, which reflected the assets in the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary. 

                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.  

                On May 30, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the equity stock of Abbington Capital Management, Inc.  The purchase consideration was comprised of 700,000 shares of unregistered $.0001 par value common stock of the Company determined by both parties to have a total value of $210,000.  The common stock was issued in a private placement, exempt from registration, pursuant to the following delivery schedule:  200,000 shares at closing; 200,000 shares on August 31, 2003; 200,000 shares on December 31, 2003; and 100,000 shares on April 30, 2004.  As a part of the transaction, the Company received a license for the Portfolio Manager's Stock Selection Matrix, a quantitative investment model for managing equity portfolios.  The shares were issued in a private placement exempt from registration under federal securities laws or any state registration requirements and are subject to the resale restrictions on unregistered securities.  

On May 23, 2003, the Company acquired the management rights to the CNB Funds, which included the $13 million Canandaigua Equity Fund, a large-cap growth fund, and the $1 million Canandaigua Bond Fund.  The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately $285,000.  The majority of the purchase price, or approximately $160,000, was paid upon closing.  The remaining consideration of approximately $125,000, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the funds, was to be paid as follows:  $62,500 at the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and $62,500 at the two-year anniversary of the closing date.  The total purchase price was paid by using available cash on hand.  In June of 2004, the one-year anniversary payment of approximately $44,000 was paid, which reflected the assets in the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary.  In June of 2005, the final payment of approximately $26,000 was made, which reflected the assets in the acquired funds at the two-year anniversary. 

On January 15, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the equity stock of Capital Financial Services, Inc. ("CFS"), a full-service brokerage firm based in Madison, Wisconsin.  CFS is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor and broker-dealer and also with the NASD as a broker-dealer.  CFS specializes in providing investment products and services to independent investment representatives, financial planners, and investment advisors and currently supports approximately 175 investment representatives and investment advisors.  The purchase consideration, taking into effect the 2 for 1 (2:1) forward stock split effective July 1, 2002, was composed of $1,140,000 in cash, 1,500,000 shares of the Company common stock to be issued in three (3) annual installments beginning at the date of purchase, a $250,000 convertible debenture to be issued one year from the purchase date, and 500,000 options to purchase common stock of the Company at an option strike price of $0.50 per share.  

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement whereby CFS was acquired, 1,500,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock of the Company were issued in three (3) annual installments beginning at the date of purchase.  The shares have a put right, whereby the installment shares may be put back to the Company at the rate of $0.50 per share.  The put right may be exercised at any time within the ninety (90) day period following the first, second, and third anniversaries of the purchase.  The put rights are non-accumulative and each installment will expire if not exercised during the scheduled redemption period.  In January of 2003, 2004, and 2005, the put options on the three installments of shares were exercised.  As a result, the Company paid $250,000 to repurchase 500,000 shares in each of the years 2003, 2004, and 2005. 

Also pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement whereby CFS was acquired, on January 15, 2003, the Company issued convertible debentures divided among the prior shareholders of CFS in the total amount of $250,000, subject to certain provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 15, 2002, which may increase or decrease the amount of the debenture to reflect undisclosed or unknown liabilities of CFS, loss of producing broker revenue base, recovery from third parties, and the costs of such recovery.  The debenture principal will be payable January 15, 2006 and will pay interest on the principal sum from January 15, 2003 at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum on a semi-annual basis beginning on July 15, 2003 and thereafter on January 15th and July 15th of each year until the principal balance is paid.  All payments will be applied first to interest and any remainder to reduction of principal.  The debenture will be convertible as follows:  beginning on the date of issuance and until the principal is paid in accordance with the terms of this agreement, the holder of this convertible debenture shall have the option to convert all or any portion of this convertible debenture to $.0001 par value common stock of the Company at the rate of two shares for each one dollar of convertible debenture (2 shares per $1.00 converted) issued by the debenture holder.  In January of 2006, the Company paid $250,000 to retire the convertible debentures. 

The primary reasons for the acquisition were to acquire a full-service retail brokerage distribution system as well as to acquire the investment advisory service operations of CFS.  The primary factors contributing to the purchase price were the presence of an established group of approximately 90 investment representatives and investment advisors, the existing relationship with a reputable clearing firm, the fact that approximately 95% of the business of CFS is processed as packaged products, i.e. mutual funds and insurance products, and to capture the revenue stream of approximately $6.4 million.  The estimated fair value of the equity of CFS was recorded at $78,392.  The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the equity of CFS was $2,117,711, which was recorded as goodwill.  

The operations and financial position of CFS were accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Company beginning January 1, 2002.

                The information above has been revised to exclude the Internet Services segment related to Magic Internet Services, Inc.  

                Deferred taxes arise because of different tax treatment between financial statement accounting and tax accounting, known as "temporary differences."  The Company records the tax effect of these temporary differences as "deferred tax assets" (generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future periods) and "deferred tax liabilities" (generally items for which the Company has received a tax deduction and have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations).  

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) were comprised of the following:

                The information above has been revised to exclude the Internet Services segment related to Magic Internet Services, Inc. 

               Included in "other" are amounts separately allocated to stockholders' equity to recognize the related tax effect of the change in net unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, ESOP plan activity, and effects of stock-based employee compensation for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. 

NOTE 9 - STOCK WARRANTS, STOCK SPLITS, AND STOCK OPTIONS  

                The Company has authorized 2,100,000 perpetual warrants to certain organizers, directors, officers, employees and shareholders of the Company.  All warrants were issued between 1987 and 1990 and were accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  No compensation expense was recorded for these warrants as the exercise price exceeded the market price of the stock at the date of issue.  The Company plans to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its warrants.  In the event additional warrants are issued, appropriate results will be disclosed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.  These warrants, at the date of issue, allowed for the purchase of shares of stock at $2.00 per share.  The exercise price of the warrants were adjusted to reflect stock splits of 2 for 1 in 2002, and 11 for 10 in 1990 and 1989.  2,000 warrants (adjusted for the 2 for 1 stock split in 2002) were exercised in 1997, leaving an outstanding balance of 2,098,000 warrants as of December 31, 2005. 

                In addition, the Company has issued warrants to purchase 600,000 common shares at an exercise price of $.60 per share.  These options are considered to be fully vested and have a contractual expiration date of September 1, 2010.  

                The Company has entered into employment agreements with several key employees of the Company.  Upon execution of several of these employment agreements, a one time granting of stock options took effect.  These options are considered to be fully vested.  Some of the options have a perpetual life and some have a contractual life of ten years.  Each employment contract stated the strike price for which options were granted.  In addition, several of the contracts will grant options should the employee reach specified performance goals.  The number of shares authorized for granting of options under these employment agreements is limited only by continued employment and the ability to reach these performance goals.  Several employment contracts contain severance packages, buyout clauses, or other forms of commitments.  None of these commitments require payment of more than one year's salary.  

                The Company has also issued options to directors as well as various other employees.  The options granted to employees were granted in connection with reaching certain performance goals.  These options are considered to be fully vested and have a contractual life of ten years.                

                As part of the acquisition of Capital Financial Services, Inc. (see Note 5 - Business Acquisitions), 500,000 options were granted at a strike price of $.50.  These options are fully vested and expire ten years from the acquisition date.  

                The Company plans to issue additional common shares if any of its outstanding options are exercised.  There have been no options exercised to date.  

                In December of 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R for stock-based employee compensation, using the modified retroactive restatement method.  In connection with the use of the modified retroactive restatement method, financial statement information was restated for all periods presented.  Total compensation costs and deferred tax benefits recognized for stock-based compensation awards were as follows:

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 

The Company sponsors a 401(K) plan for all its employees. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company implemented a match of up to 4% of employee deferrals.  Plan expenses paid for by the Company were $4,790, $4,004, and $3,099 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.  The matching contribution paid by the Company was $91,991 for the year ended December 31, 2005. 

The Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") effective January 1, 1999.  Pursuant to the ESOP, each year the Company will determine the amount to contribute to the plan.  Contributions are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  To be eligible to participate in the plan, an employee must have completed one year of service and have attained age 21.  

During 2001, the ESOP purchased 208,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at a weighted average price of $.48 per share.  The purchase was funded with a loan of $100,000 from the Company, which is collateralized by the unallocated Company shares owned by the ESOP.  The loan will be repaid primarily from contributions by the Company.  The outstanding principal balance of the loan as of December 31, 2005, was $69,000 and the interest rate is 7% over a 15 year life.  All previous loans to the ESOP have been paid in full and shares purchased by those loans have been allocated to employees. 

The shares owned by the ESOP are held by a third party trustee and released for allocation to participants as repayments of the loan are made.  The number of shares released for allocation in any year is based upon the ratio of current year principal and interest payments to the total current year and projected future year's principal and interest payments.  Shares of common stock are allocated to each employee based on the relationship of their total compensation to the total compensation of all participants.  

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, cumulative allocated shares remaining in the trust were 567,128 and 553,184 respectively, and unallocated shares were 156,872 and 170,816 respectively, of which 13,944 and 13,944 respectively, were committed-to-be allocated.  Total ESOP contribution expense recognized was $9,062, $579 and $20,150 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.  The fair value of unallocated shares was $53,336 at December 31, 2005.

 

NOTE 11 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS 

The Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries (Integrity Funds Distributor, Inc. and Capital Financial Services, Inc.) are member firms of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as broker-dealers.  Under the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the subsidiaries are required to maintain a minimum net capital and a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as defined, of not more than 15 to 1.  At December 31, 2005, these subsidiaries had net capital of $222,866 and $573,505; minimum net capital requirements of $25,000 and $77,690; excess net capital of $197,866 and $495,815 and ratios of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of .41 to 1, and 2.03 to 1, respectively.  The subsidiaries are exempt from the reserve requirements of Rule 15c3-3.  

NOTE 12 - OPERATING SEGMENTS  

Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc., derives a portion of its revenues and net income from providing investment advisory, distribution, transfer agency, fund accounting, and other administrative services to the Funds.  Capital Financial Services, Inc. ("CFS"), acquired effective January 1, 2002, 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, transfer agency, fund accounting, and other administrative services to the Funds.  The broker-dealer segment distributes securities and insurance products to retail investors through a network of registered representatives.  

As disclosed in Note 6 - Discontinued Operations, the Company has classified the results of operations of Magic Internet Services, Inc., (the Internet Services segment) as discontinued operations.  The information below has been revised to exclude the Internet Services segment related to Magic Internet Services, Inc.  

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 acquisition was retained.  The accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Goodwill impairment is determined using a multi-step process.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test is to determine the fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill.  The estimates of fair value of a reporting unit, generally the Company's business segments, are determined using various valuation techniques. The two main techniques include the use of industry valuation benchmarks for comparable publicly traded companies and acquisition transaction multiples of comparable companies. For each method, valuation benchmarks are collected from third party sources such as independent investment banks or reporting services. Various industry average valuation multiples are calculated. Examples include value to revenue, value to assets under management and value to operating income. The average industry valuation multiples are then applied to the Company's operating characteristics to determine an estimate of the Company's business segment fair value. For example, the industry average multiple of value to assets under management is applied to the Company's assets under management. The business segments fair value is then calculated as a weighted average of the different industry valuation multiples. 

The next step is to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by determining the fair value of equity for each business segment and substituting it for the book value of equity on the balance sheet. The implied fair value of goodwill is then calculated. 

The final step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill as calculated to the book value of goodwill for each business segment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is equal to or greater than the book value of goodwill, there is no impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the book value of goodwill, there is an impairment and the goodwill is written down to the fair value number. 

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 142.  The annual testing resulted in no impairment charges to goodwill in 2004 or 2005.  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 15 - EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive potential common stock had been converted to common stock.  The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:
