ABOUT DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS

In 1941, Dupree & Company, Inc., began business in Harlan, Kentucky as a small securities brokerage firm specializing in tax-exempt municipal bonds.

Over the years the firm, which in 1963 moved its offices to Lexington, Kentucky, grew to become a regional leader in public finance, helping to structure complex and innovative municipal bond financing for some of the largest public projects in the state of Kentucky.

In 1979, Dupree & Company began what is now Dupree Mutual Funds with the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series and became the fund's investment advisor. The fund was one of the first single-state municipal bond funds in the country, and the first mutual fund to invest solely in Kentucky municipal bonds. Since then, several new offerings have been added to the Dupree Mutual Funds family:

Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1987;
Intermediate Government Bond Series in 1992;
Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series in 1993;
Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1994;
North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series in 1995;
North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1995;
Alabama Tax-Free Income Series in 2000, and
Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series in 2000.

Today, after more than 50 years in business, Dupree continues to be a pioneer in the industry. Our Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi Series are currently the ONLY 100% "no-load" municipal bond funds available in those states. No-load means simply that shares of the funds are offered directly to investors with no front or back-end sales charges, as opposed to load funds which are sold through brokerage firms or other institutions.

At Dupree Mutual Funds, our goal is a simple one: to offer investors a high-quality, low-cost way to invest in municipal and government bonds while providing superior service to our shareholders. We encourage you to let us know how we're doing.

The Outlook:
       It is interesting to compare the financial situation today with a year ago. Last year the Fed Fund rate was at 6.50% and the stock market was showing the first signs of weakness. This year, after six cuts, the Fed Fund rate is 3.75%, the NASDAQ Composite is down 61% from its high and a sober reassessment of the current situation seems to be telling us that the laws of economic gravity are still operative. Once again, money has begun to flow into the bond market as investors are realizing that any portfolio has a place for at least some good quality bonds.
       The long term Treasury bond is currently about 5.55%, well below last year's level of about 5.90% and this has been achieved without the help of the U. S. Treasury open market purchases that were operative a year ago.
       The municipal bond market seems to have hit its low in late May of 2000 and has risen steadily for over a year, except for one small reversal in April of 2001. It looks as if the stock market is no longer eager to snap back on the first positive rumor, indeed, the entire global economic outlook is a little frightening.

       As always, the loyalty of our shareholders has had much to do with our growth during this period. Thank you! If you have questions or suggestions feel free to call us at (800) 866-0614 or, in Lexington, at 254-7741.

Yours truly,

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON


The following graphs compare the change in value of a $10,000 investment in each series of Dupree Mutual Funds with the change in value of a $10,000 investment in a comparable index. The comparisons are made over ten years or since the inception of the series, if shorter than ten years. Results are for the fiscal years ended June 30.


Notes on Graphs:


Results reflect reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. For each series, we have chosen an index that approximates the average maturity of the compared series. The investor should understand that an index is a mathematical hypothesis and does not reflect a real market situation. For example, the portfolio of each index is replaced with an entirely different portfolio each year without reflecting transaction costs, an impossibility in reality. On the other hand, the fund's performance reflects not only these factors but management costs as well. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Significant Accounting Policies
   
  Dupree Mutual Funds is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, open-end investment company. The Declaration of Trust of Dupree Mutual Funds (the "Trust") permits the Trustees to create an unlimited number of series of investment portfolios (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") and with respect to each series to issue an unlimited number of full or fractional shares of a single class. The Trust currently offers nine series:
   
    the Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, a non-diversified portfolio,
   
   

the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, a diversified portfolio,

   

the Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, a non-diversified portfolio,

   
   

the Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series, a non-diversified portfolio,

   
   

the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, a non-diversified portfolio,

   

the North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, a non-diversified portfolio,

   
   

the Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series, a diversified portfolio,

   

the Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, a non-diversified portfolio, and

   
   

the Intermediate Government Bond Series, a non-diversified portfolio.

     
  The investment strategy of the eight state tax-free funds is to maintain 100% of their investments in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina or Tennessee municipal securities.
     
 

The Intermediate Government Bond Series' investment strategy is to invest only in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and Agencies of the U.S. Government. The Intermediate Government Bond Series will buy bonds and notes that will maintain an average maturity of no more than ten years.

     
 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     
  A. Security Valuation
    Securities are valued by using market quotation or obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics as determined in good faith under the direction of the Funds' Board of Trustees.
     
  B.

Security Transactions

   

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on an identified cost basis.

     
  C. Security Income
    Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of original issue discounts for financial and tax reporting purposes, is recorded on the accrual basis.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
   
  D. Federal Income Taxes
    Each of the Funds is a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is each Fund's policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "code") applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of all taxable income to their shareholders. The Funds have met the requirements of the code applicable to regulated investment companies for the year ended June 30, 2001. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
   
  E. Distributions
    All of the net investment income of the Funds is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of business each day. Distributions to be paid are payable in cash or in additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date. Distributions are payable:
   
    Monthly for: the Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, and
      the North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, and
     

the Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, and

      the Intermediate Government Bond Series, and
       
       
    Quarterly for: the Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, and
      the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, and
      the Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series, and
      the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, and
      the Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series
     
   

Timing differences relating to shareholder distributions are reflected in the components of net assets and permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions have been reclassified to capital.

   
  F. Estimates
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
     
  G. Income Recognition
    In November 2000 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued a revised version of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the Guide). The Guide is effective for annual financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. Management of Dupree Mutual Funds does not anticipate that the adoption of the Guide will have a significant effect on the financial statements.
     
2. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
     
  The Trustees of the Trust consist of seven individuals, four of whom are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. Three of the Trust's trustees are "interested persons" of the Trust's Investment Advisor and of the Trust within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 by virtue of their officership, directorship and/or employment with Dupree & Company, Inc.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Trustees
Dupree Mutual Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Dupree Mutual Funds (comprised of Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series, North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to Medium Series, Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series, Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series and Intermediate Government Bond Series) (the Funds) as of June 30, 2001, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective series comprising Dupree Mutual Funds at June 30, 2001, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
