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 Commonwealth 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 adviser. 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;

Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series in 2000; and

Taxable Municipal Bond Series in 2010.

 

Today, after more than 60 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.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance:

(Unaudited)

Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2011i

 

The investment objective of our tax-free municipal bond funds is to provide a high level of tax-free income derived from state-specific municipal bonds without incurring undue risk to principal. The investment objectives of our government bond fund and taxable municipal bond fund are to provide a high level of taxable income derived from securities of the U.S. government and its agencies and taxable municipal securities, respectively, without incurring undue risk to principal.

 

This report covers the 12-month period from June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2011 (the “reporting period”). During the second half of 2010, the economy grew at a moderate pace and continued to recover from the severe recession. Real GDP increased at a 2.6 percent annual rate during the third quarter of 2010 and the economy grew at a 3.1 percent annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2010. However, economic growth slowed markedly during the first quarter of 2011 with real GDP increasing at a 0.4 percent annual rate. Real GDP for the second quarter of 2011 increased at a 1.3 percent (advance estimate) annual rate. The slowdown in real GDP growth in the first half of 2011 reflected a number of factors including, higher food and energy prices that dampened consumer spending, supply chain disruptions associated with the earthquake in Japan, falling house prices, decreased spending at the state and local level, and a persistently weak labor market.

 

Economic indicators such as retail sales, industrial production, and business investment during the reporting period confirmed that the economy at the state and national levels continued to grow but at a below-trend rate. At the end of the reporting period, many broad economic indicators had still not returned to their prerecession levels. At its June 2011 meeting, the Federal Reserve marked down its forecast for real GDP growth in 2011 to reflect the unexpected weakness experienced during the first half of the year. The growth forecast for 2012 was also marked down; however, the Federal Reserve left its longer-term economic growth projections unchanged.

 

Key unemployment measures remained elevated during the reporting period. Over 8.5 million jobs have been lost since the recession began. The national unemployment rate was 9.5 percent at the beginning of the reporting period and it ended the reporting period at 9.2 percent. The labor market started showing some temporary signs of improvement during the first quarter of 2011, but then began to soften again during the second quarter of 2011. The Federal Reserve projects that the unemployment rate will remain elevated and in the range of 7.0 to 8.2 percent through 2013.

 

The Federal Reserve kept the target fed funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent throughout the reporting period and has continued to reiterate that it intends to maintain exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an “extended period”. At the end of June, the Federal Reserve completed its program of purchasing $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities that was announced in November. In addition, the Federal Reserve maintained its policy of reinvesting principal payments from its agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities holdings into longer-term Treasury securities.

 

Key measures of inflation remained subdued during the second half of 2010, but consumer price inflation increased noticeably during the first part of 2011. Increases in food, commodity, and energy prices accounted for a significant portion of the rise in inflation. The core consumer price index (CPI) increased by 1.6 percent on a year-over-year basis through June. The headline CPI number (which includes food and energy costs) increased by 3.6% on a year-over-year basis through June. The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation index, the personal consumption expenditure core price index (PCE) increased 1.3 percent on a year-over-year basis through June. Despite the uptick in headline inflation, core inflation levels have remained below levels deemed acceptable by the Federal Reserve and longer-term inflation expectations have also remained stable.

 

State and local governments remained under significant fiscal pressure during the reporting period. Almost all states have had to close large budget shortfalls for FY 2011 and 2012. Many states are also facing projected budget shortfalls for FY 2013. Lower tax revenue collections at the state and local level have led to budget cuts, debt restructurings, job losses, and reforms to public pensions. States rely primarily on income taxes (personal and corporate) and sales taxes which are still below peak levels.

 

On a positive note, state tax collections in most states including Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee have rebounded. According to data compiled by The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government, collections at the state level from major tax sources increased by 9.1 percent in nominal terms on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter of 2011. This represented the third consecutive quarter of increasing strength in revenues and five consecutive quarters of rising tax collections at the state level. Preliminary figures for April and May 2011 indicate continuing and growing strength in state tax revenues. However, while state tax collections are improving, it should be noted that they are still below pre-recession levels in most states.

 

In contrast to states, local governments rely primarily on property taxes. Tax collections at the local level have declined as a sharp decline in housing prices has negatively impacted real property assessments. The decline in property tax collections is likely to

persist for some time as housing prices are still declining in many jurisdictions. Because there is often a time lag between changes in market value and assessed property values, current property tax levels may not fully reflect home price declines. Localities also rely on state aid and assistance which may be cut. Accordingly, it seems likely that localities will remain under significant fiscal stress in the near-term.

 

For the first three months of the reporting period municipal bond performance was very strong. The market was supported by robust investor demand, low interest rates, and limited supply of tax-exempt bonds. However, the municipal bond market experienced a significant sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2010. Headline risk (negative media coverage and commentary) in the municipal bond market reached a peak at the end of the year as states and localities struggled with large budget deficits and several prominent market commentators predicted widespread defaults in the municipal bond sector. The sunset of the Build America Bond (BAB) program on December 31, 2010, heavy year-end bond issuance, and ongoing worries about state and local finances led to indiscriminate selling in the municipal bond sector which pushed yields substantially higher and prices lower. Treasury yields also increased dramatically with the 10-year Treasury yield increasing 103 basis points (0.01% = 1 basis point) and the 30-year Treasury yield increasing 88 basis points between November 4 and December 15.

 

The municipal bond market stabilized during the first quarter of 2011 even though headline risk continued to persist. Several factors led to the firming up of the market: a limited supply of new issue tax-exempt bonds, increased demand by institutional buyers, and a growing realization by market participants that the heavily publicized doomsday scenarios predicting widespread bond defaults were overblown. The rally in the municipal bond market picked up steam in the second quarter of 2011 and was fueled primarily by a limited supply of bonds, a substantial easing of outflows from bond funds, and a strong rally in the Treasury market. Although the municipal bond market experienced a fair amount of volatility during the reporting period, we maintained a long-term perspective and were able to take advantage of opportunities to purchase high- quality bonds at attractive levels.

 

The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, which tracks investment grade municipal securities across all sectors and maturities, had a total return of 3.475 percent for the twelve month period ended June 30.

 

The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders a total return of 3.57 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.04 percent during the period under review. The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series primarily holds bonds with intermediate maturities. The intermediate portion of the municipal curve outperformed the index as a whole, leading to the outperformance of the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series against the index. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series holds bonds on the shorter end of the curve. These shorter bonds underperformed the index as a whole, leading to the relative underperformance of the Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series against the index.

 

Like most states, Kentucky’s economy is still recovering from the national recession that ended in June 2009. Fortunately, the losses endured by the state were less severe than most states. The loss of household wealth was somewhat muted in Kentucky since the housing market in the state never really experienced a sharp run-up in home values like occurred in many other jurisdictions. The state’s annual average unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period stood at 9.6 percent compared with the national average of 9.2 percent. In 2010, Kentucky had a per capita personal income of $33,348 (preliminary data) which ranked 44th in the nation.

 

Kentucky’s economy has historically relied on manufacturing, however, this sector has continued to contract as the economy transitions to a more service-related economy. A number of large automobile manufacturers and related automotive parts companies have located plants in the state. Both the recession and the national disaster in Japan led to a temporary disruption in the production of automobiles and automotive components, but the sector has started to rebound. Kentucky’s abundance of coal has continued to provide stable employment and coal severance tax revenues for the state. The state successfully closed substantial budget deficits in FY 2011 and FY 2012. In fact, FY 2011 closed with a $156.8 million budget surplus, and $121.8 million is scheduled to be deposited into the state’s “rainy day fund.”

 

The state’s appropriation supported debt was rated Aa3 by Moody’s and A+ by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2011. Kentucky had net tax-supported debt per capita of $1,961 as of calendar year-end 2010 which was substantially above the national net tax-supported debt median of $1,066 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Special Comment: “2011 State Debt Medians Report”, June 3, 2011).

 

The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.78 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series had a total return of 2.72 percent for the period under review. The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series primarily holds bonds with intermediate maturities. The intermediate portion of the municipal curve outperformed the index as a whole, leading to the outperformance of the Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series against

the index. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series holds bonds on the shorter end of the curve. These shorter bonds underperformed the index as a whole, leading to the relative underperformance of the Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series against the index.

 

Tennessee’s economy is on the mend and is slowly but steadily recovering from the national recession. The state experienced a severe contraction in the manufacturing and construction sectors, but both of these sectors have stabilized and are showing signs of growth. The rate of job losses in these two key sectors has slowed down substantially. The education and health services sector has continued to be a bright spot for the state. The state’s unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period was 9.8 percent compared with the national average of 9.2 percent. In 2010, the state had a per capita personal income of $35,307 (preliminary data) which ranked 39th in the nation.

 

Tennessee relies on a combination of a state sales tax, corporate income taxes, and the Hall income tax for its revenue. The state’s fiscal condition has improved substantially with fifteen consecutive months of year-over-year growth in sales tax revenues. Total tax revenues collected in June 2011 marked the eleventh consecutive month in which total collections exceeded budgeted estimates. However, despite the positive growth trend, tax revenues still remain below pre-recession levels.

 

Tennessee’s general obligation (G.O.) bonds were rated Aaa by Moody’s and AA+ by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2011. Tennessee had net tax-supported debt per capita of $345 as of calendar year-end 2010 which was substantially below the national net tax-supported debt median of $1,066 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Special Comment: 2011 State Debt Medians Report”, June 3, 2011).

 

The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 2.90 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.86 percent for the period under review. The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series holds some longer healthcare bonds which underperformed the market last year, leading to the slight underperformance of the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series against the index. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series received significant inflows of new money during the reporting period, most of which was invested in the middle of the period. As the market improved through the second half of reporting period, the bonds purchased rose in value, leading to the outperformance of the fund against the index.

 

North Carolina’s economy has continued to transition from traditional labor-intensive industries (e.g., textiles, furniture, etc.) to knowledge-based or service-related industries. Ranked by employment size, North Carolina’s four largest industries are: government; healthcare and social assistance; retail trade; and manufacturing. Together, these industries account for more than 55 percent of employment in the state. Employment in the manufacturing sector has continued to decline. The state’s unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period was 9.9 percent compared with the national average of 9.2 percent. In 2010, North Carolina had a per capita personal income of $35,638 (preliminary data) which ranked 35th in the nation. The state recently passed a budget which closed a $2.4 billion budget shortfall for FY 2012.

 

North Carolina’s G.O. bonds were rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2011. North Carolina had net tax-supported debt per capita of $782 as of calendar year-end 2010 which was below the national net tax-supported debt median of $1,066 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Special Comment: 2011 State Debt Medians Report”, June 3, 2011).

 

The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.45 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series performed in line with the index during the reporting period.

 

Alabama’s economy exhibited steady signs of recovery from the national recession during the reporting period. At the beginning of 2010, economic analysts at the University of Alabama predicted a 2.2 percent gain in the state’s GDP but revised their estimate upward to 2.5 percent at midyear. The state’s annual average unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period stood at 9.9 percent compared with the national average of 9.2 percent. In 2010, Alabama had a per capita personal income of $33,945 (preliminary data) which ranked 42nd in the nation.

 

Alabama is home to a number of large automobile manufacturing plants. The earthquake in Japan negatively impacted car production in the state. However, at the end of the reporting period automobile production levels had mostly recovered. Tourism and aerospace continue to be major industries in the state. International trade produced benefits across the state and the state’s port in Mobile expanded allowing it to become one of the top 10 busiest ports in the United States. The state experienced extensive damage in and around Tuscaloosa in late April which was caused by a tornado which will result in substantial rebuilding costs. Alabama’s G.O. bonds were rated Aa1 by Moody’s and AA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2011. Alabama had net tax-supported debt per capita of $856 as of calendar year-end 2010 which was lower than the national net tax-supported debt median of $1,066 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Special Comment: 2011 State Debt Medians Report”, June 3, 2011).

The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series had a total return of 3.19 percent for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011. The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series slightly underperformed the index during the reporting period.

 

Mississippi’s economy is dominated by manufacturing and service industries which were hit hard by the national recession. Recent economic indicators show that an economic recovery is firmly underway in Mississippi. Retail sales have been rising, job losses are slowing, gaming revenues are improving, and the value of residential building permits issued has stabilized. Several major investment projects and post-Katrina reconstruction are boosting economic activity. Among ongoing projects are a $570 million port upgrade at Gulfport, a $1 billion natural gas pipeline (Spectra Energy and CenterPoint Energy), and a $950 million reconstruction and renovation at Keesler Air Force Base. A new $1.3 billion auto plant (Toyota) in Blue Springs near Tupelo is scheduled to begin production in 2011.

 

The state’s annual average unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period was 10.3 percent compared with the national average of 9.2 percent. In 2010, Mississippi had a per capita personal income of $31,186 (preliminary data) which ranked last in the nation. The state’s G.O. bonds were rated Aa2 by Moody’s and AA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2011. Mississippi has net tax-supported debt per capita of $1,534 as of calendar year-end 2010 which was higher than the national net tax-supported debt median of $1,066 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Special Comment: 2011 State Debt Medians Report”, June 3, 2011).

 

The Intermediate Government Bond Series had a total return of 0.71 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index had a total return of 2.653 percent for the one year period ended June 30, 2011. The fund slightly underperformed the index during the reporting period. As of 6/30/2011, the Series had a maturity of 9.93 years vs. an average maturity of 4.03 for the index. The bonds in the fund are very concentrated around the 9-10 year maturity mark, while the index tracks a mix of bonds with maturities ranging from 1-10 years. During the reporting period, the best performing part of the government market was 5-7 years, explaining the slight underperformance of the fund against the index.

 

The Taxable Municipal Bond Series had a total return of 0.04 percent for the eight months between fund inception on November 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Taxable Index had a total return of 4.275% for the same period. The taxable municipal market declined dramatically in November and December of 2010 due to the non-extension and sunset of the Build America Bond program. The share price of the fund declined more than the index due to the longer average maturity of the Series during that time. Though the fund and the index performed comparably for the remainder of the reporting period, the fund underperformed the index primarily due to the fund’s underperformance in November and December of 2010.

Notes on Graphs:

 

 

Results reflect reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. No index can perfectly match the investments that make up a fund’s portfolio. For each series, we have chosen a benchmark that we believe gives the most accurate comparison of how the series performed during the reporting period. 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 operating expenses or 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.

 

The performance tables and the graphs above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

 

1.   Organization and 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 ten series:

 

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

 

Intermediate Government Bond Series

 

Taxable Municipal Bond Series

 

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 Taxable Municipal Bond Series’ investment strategy is to invest in taxable municipal bonds of investment grade quality.

 

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 held by the Intermediate Government Bond Series and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series are valued using market quotations as provided by an independent pricing service. Securities held by the eight state tax-free funds are valued as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. These procedures involve the use of a matrix pricing model which takes into consideration price quotations or appraisals for these securities, yield, stability, risk, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances of a security or trading market, and any other factors or market data considered relevant in determining the value. The procedures also include weekly verification of market quotations provided by two independent pricing services. A bond valuation that is not supported by a valuation source requires management to fair value the security in consultation with the Board’s Valuation committee. Shares of open-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the underlying funds.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

 

1.   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

 

The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:

 

Level 1:   Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2:   Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3:   Price determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, where there is little or not market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The aggregate value by input level, as of June 30, 2011, for the Funds’ investments is included at the end of the Funds’ Schedule of Portfolio Investments. There we no significant transfers in and out of level 1, 2 or 3 during the period ending June 30, 2011.

 

  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 discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis.

 

  D. When-Issued and Extended Settlement Securities

The Funds may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date. At the time the Funds enter into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Funds until the security is delivered and payment takes place. At the time the Funds enter this type of transaction, they are required to segregate cash or other liquid assets equal to the value of the securities purchased.

 

  E. Federal Income Taxes

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 or substantially all taxable and tax-exempt income to their shareholders. The Funds have met the requirements of the code applicable to regulated investment companies for the year ended June 30, 2011. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no uncertain tax provisions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Generally, the tax authorities can examine all the tax returns for the last three years.

 

  F. Distributions

Substantially 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 are payable in cash or in additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations.

  G. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

 

  H. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events occurring after the date of this report have been evaluated for potential impact to this report through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

 

  I. New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in the U.S. GAAP and IFRS”. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management believes adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

2.   Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

 

Subject to the direction of the Trustees, Dupree & Company, Inc. (the Adviser) is responsible for the management of the Funds' portfolios. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements, for the Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series, the Funds have agreed to pay to the Adviser as compensation for all services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses paid or assumed by it under the Agreements, a fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the first $100,000,000 average daily net assets of each Fund determined separately; .45 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $100,000,001 and $150,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; .40 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $150,000,001 and $500,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; .35 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $500,000,001 and 750,000,000; and .30 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $750,000,001 and 1,000,000,000; and .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1,000,000,000. For the Intermediate Government Bond Series, the Fund has agreed to pay to the Adviser, as compensation for all services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses paid or assumed by it under the Agreement, a fee at the annual rate of .20 of 1% of average daily net assets. Prior to March 1, 2011 the Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series, paid to the Adviser as compensation for all services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses paid or assumed by it under the Agreements, a fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the first $100,000,000 average daily net assets of each Fund determined separately; .45 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $100,000,001 and $150,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; .40 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $150,000,001 and $500,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; .35 of 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000.

7.   Contingencies and Commitments

 

The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide for indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve predicting future claims that may be made against the Funds, if any, that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be immaterial.

 

8.   Line of Credit Agreement and Custodian Agreement

 

Under the terms of an agreement with the Funds’ custodian, principal amounts up to 5% of a Fund’s net assets are available on an uncommitted line of credit. The principal amounts borrowed are due on demand. The agreement expires on September 30, 2011, but may be renewed annually. Interest is payable based on the published prime rate of the bank. Securities with a minimum value of three times the loan proceeds will be assigned as collateral until the balance of the note and unpaid interest is paid in full and terminated.

The Funds have a contractual agreement with the custodian whereby the Funds compensate the custodian for custodial services incurred exceeding the credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances. Credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce each Fund’s expenses. During the year, these credits reduced each of Funds’ expenses by the amount shown on the Statement of Operation as “Custodian expense reduction.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Dupree Mutual Funds

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedule 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, Intermediate Government Bond Series, and Taxable Municipal Bond Series (collectively, the Funds), as of June 30, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 Funds comprising the Dupree Mutual Funds at June 30, 2011, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods then ended indicated above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur transaction costs including investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses which is not the Funds’ actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
