Shareholders’ Letter |
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds (“Funds”) Annual Report for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. As of our last letter, at mid-year, there were various uncertainties weighing heavily on equity prices, namely the presidential election, the “fiscal cliff,” instability in the European currency union, and slowing economic data in emerging markets, among others. These concerns have since been resolved or assuaged, at least in part, and equity prices have reacted positively worldwide. Typically, such broad market and broad asset class (macro) rallies are not the most constructive for fundamental value investors; however, the latter half of 2012 proved to be fruitful for our Funds, as the No-load Classes of the Funds completed the year as follows (No-Load Class): The Paradigm Fund +21.78%, The Multi-Disciplinary Fund +15.38%, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund +26.74%, The Market Opportunities Fund +17.52%, The Internet Fund +23.24%, The Medical Fund +8.86%, The Water Infrastructure Fund (now, the Alternative Income Fund) +9.90%, and The Global Fund +23.16%. These results compare to returns of 16.00% for the S&P 500 Index and 16.13% for the MSCI All Country World Index.
Our Funds achieved attractive returns for 2012 in both absolute and relative terms. As a result, investors might be concerned about the risk of complacency; however, we recognize that the investment process must be perpetual. We continue to diligently monitor our existing portfolio positions in addition to myriad potential new investments. We believe that it is futile to attempt to determine the precise driver(s) of gains in security prices, as there may be a multitude of drivers, particularly in shorter time periods. Regardless, we have analyzed all of the companies whose securities we own and compared their business fundamentals with those of one and two years ago, when their shares were trading at materially lower levels. In aggregate, our portfolio companies have grown intrinsic value at rates consistent with or
above those of their respective equity prices. Accordingly, we remain quite optimistic with regard to many investment opportunities.
In 2012, many equity prices were driven higher by the combination of slightly higher earnings and/or cash flows and expansion of the valuation multiples assigned to them. In short, the fundamentals of the companies did in fact improve, but the improvements were not on the same scale as was their share price appreciation. In many cases, such multiples expansion is justified, particularly in light of the continued near-zero percent interest rate policy maintained by much of the developed world. However, we prefer to rely on the underlying returns of the businesses to drive shares prices, and view multiples expansion as a potential enhancement to base returns. Not all companies are capable of consistently growing underlying business values at high levels, particularly in the current environment of low economic growth and tepid inflation; hence, we must be very selective in our investment process. A common characteristic that we have identified amongst the “compounders,” companies that reliably compound underlying value, is the existence of an owner-operator.
Owner-operators are broadly defined as corporate management teams that have considerable personal wealth invested alongside their shareholders. The actions of these management teams over the past several years stand in stark contrast to “agent” managers. Owner-operators have actively allocated capital into attractive opportunities and engaged in various corporate actions (share repurchases and spin-offs, to name but a few) aimed at enhancing shareholder value. Compare this to the actions undertaken by most “agent” corporate managers, who have focused on cost-cutting measures to maintain margins (at the possible expense of future growth) and who have amassed large cash balances earning nearly no return. The latter group of companies is likely to find it difficult to grow revenues or earnings at historical levels. Additionally, should confidence in equity markets continue to recover, these
companies will struggle to effectively allocate capital in an increasingly competitive environment. An easily observable divide exists between companies that have positioned themselves aggressively during an advantageous environment and those that will need to chase opportunities as prices rise; we are pleased to own many of the former.
It is a relief that none of the perceived catastrophic macroeconomic events came to fruition over the past two years. It is important for us as value investors to attempt to ignore this “noise” to the greatest extent possible, while always purchasing securities with a considerable embedded margin of safety. Even if a severely disruptive event were to occur, a company with a conservative valuation, appropriate business model and proven management team is likely to minimize or avoid permanent impairment of value. This is not to be confused with temporary price volatility, which we expect will remain a part of capital markets for the foreseeable future. We hope that communicating these attributes of our holdings to investors in all of our funds will enable you to share our confidence.

This website provides a broad array of information, including recent portfolio holdings, quarterly investment commentaries, conference call transcripts, newsflashes, recent performance data, and online access to account information.
Kinetics offers the following funds to investors:
The Paradigm Fund focuses on companies that are valued attractively and currently have, or are expected to soon have, sustainable high business returns. The Fund has produced attractive returns since its inception in an environment that should be described as difficult for equity investors. The Paradigm Fund is Kinetics’ flagship fund.
The Multi-Disciplinary Fund seeks to utilize stock options and fixed-income investments in order to provide investors with equity-like returns, but with more muted volatility. At times, the options strategies of the Fund may cause the manager to purchase equity securities.
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund focuses on undervalued and special situation small capitalization equities that have the potential for rewarding long-term investment results. The same investment fundamentals employed by The Paradigm Fund are used to identify such opportunities.
The Medical Fund is a sector fund, offering an investment in scientific discovery within the promising field of medical research, particularly in the development of cancer treatments and therapies. As a sector fund, The Medical Fund is likely to have heightened volatility.
The Internet Fund is a sector fund that focuses on companies engaged in the evolution of Internet-related developments. As such, this Fund has been, and is likely to continue to be, quite volatile. The Internet Fund is not designed to be a major component of one’s equity exposure. More recently, this Fund has been focusing on content companies, which we believe will be the winners in the next generation of Internet development.
The Global Fund is focused on selecting long life cycle international companies that can generate long-term wealth through their business operations. This Fund is presently finding exciting opportunities in the more developed markets.
The Market Opportunities Fund focuses on those companies that benefit from increasing transactional volume or throughput, such as publicly-traded exchanges and credit card processors, or companies that act as facilitators, such as gaming companies, airports and publicly-traded toll roads.
The Alternative Income Fund underwent a proxy vote on December 21, 2012, wherein the shareholders approved a change from the Kinetics Water Infrastructure Fund’s investment objective and to one of the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions. As a result of the proxy, The Water Infrastructure Fund has been renamed The Alternative Income Fund. The primary investment objective of the Alternative Income Fund is to provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of obtaining long-term growth of capital. Consistent with this change, prospectively, the Fund will seek to generate a total return that exceeds that of most short-term U.S. fixed income indexes, with limited market value variability.

Investment Commentary |
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The S&P 500 Index completed 2012 by returning 16.00%, while the NASDAQ Composite returned 15.91% over the same period. Equity markets ultimately achieved strong gains for the year despite episodes of increased volatility and high correlation. In the second half of the year, markets began to stabilize, and many of the high quality companies whose stock price declined unreasonably in 2011 led the rebound. As such, the Funds prospered and achieved (No-Load Class) returns of 21.78% in the Paradigm Fund, 26.74% in the Small Cap Opportunities Fund, 17.52% in the Market Opportunities Fund, 8.86% in the Medical Fund, 23.24% in the Internet Fund, 15.38% in the Multi-Disciplinary Fund, 23.16% in the Global Fund and 9.90% in the Water Infrastructure Fund (now, the Alternative Income Fund).
Steadfast investors were able to achieve very attractive returns in global capital markets during 2012, with price performance generally increasing as one moved further out on the perceived risk spectrum (i.e., most equity benchmarks outperformed most fixed income benchmarks). It’s important to recognize that this is the perceived risk spectrum, which is not necessarily reflective of the actual risk incurred. Academic thought generally concludes that outsized gains can be achieved solely by assuming outsized risk; hence, an equity investor should have the potential for a larger return than a U.S. Treasury investor. Further, the Treasury investor sacrifices some potential investment appreciation in exchange for the relative certainty that the interest payments will be made and the principal capital returned. This relationship holds true only in the rare occasions where markets are efficiently priced. In contrast, great opportunities lie in the extremes of inefficient pricing. We do not believe that capital markets are currently at an extreme in terms of prices, but it is our view that there is likely far more risk in safe haven fixed income assets than many realize and less risk in some assets described as higher risk than many believe.
Consider an investor in investment grade U.S. corporate bonds, an asset class that has steadily attracted investor capital over the past several years. These bonds currently trade at a relatively small premium to U.S. Treasury bonds of similar duration in terms of yield to maturity. Many such corporate bonds that were issued prior to the credit crisis currently trade well above par value,
reflecting their high coupon payments. Now also consider an investor in the equity of a consumer company that enjoys reliable cash flows, moderate pricing power and is traded at an earnings multiple in line with the broader markets. In the scenario where interest rates increase in the United States, one could argue that the corporate bond investor will incur more severe and more permanent losses. Nonetheless, the bond investor is commonly recognized as assuming less risk than the equity investor.
The well documented and widely recognized risks are rarely those that cause the most damage to investors. The list of global macro concerns is expansive and well appreciated by the marketplace. However, few have seriously considered the impact of interest rate increases on low yielding (both nominal and real) fixed income securities. What about the risk of reinvesting new capital into fixed income as earlier vintage bonds paying higher coupons mature? Even though we are confident that our equity portfolios currently have less real risk than such fixed income portfolios, we acknowledge that many investors are simply unwillingly to accept the volatility of equity markets. As a solution, we offer two distinct yield-generating strategies in funds that we encourage investors to consider, the Multi-Disciplinary Fund and Alternative Income Fund.
The performance of the Paradigm Fund continues to be driven by owner-operated companies with business activities primarily in the United States. Top contributing owner-operator positions include several consumer businesses that exhibited resiliency during the crisis and subsequent tepid recovery. We believe that these businesses are currently much better positioned compared to five years ago as a result of attrition and astute capital allocation; however, their market valuations fail to reflect this development.
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund also maintains a high weighting in owner-operated companies, predominately those conducting business in the United States. The Fund benefitted from strong performance amongst allocations to real estate oriented owner-operators. A number of North American real estate companies in the small capitalization universe are in various stages of development. Accordingly, most of these companies do not currently generate a yield; hence, their equity is available at a material discount to the yield being generating by their REIT peers. We believe that investors are paying a
premium for dividend yield and, accordingly, are ignoring the fundamentals of most REIT opportunities.
The Market Opportunities Fund continues to hold a variety of owner-operated companies that facilitate capital market activity. In aggregate the financial industry performed well, although the “facilitators” lagged the strong gains achieved by the conventional, lending based financial companies. We believe that these facilitators are capable of achieving equal or greater unleveraged returns on equity (i.e., adjusted returns on assets) than their leveraged peers, but with far less risk. We expect such companies to be primary beneficiaries of a continued upswing in the investment cycle.
The Medical Fund maintained its large allocation to multi-national major pharmaceutical companies and later stage biotechnology firms. The share prices of most major pharmaceutical companies appreciated for the year and continue to appear inexpensive on a quantitative basis. However these companies largely underperformed broad equity indexes. Concerns regarding patent expirations and cash flow disruptions outweighed attractive dividend yields and product pipelines. Further, many of the mature biotechnology firms also recorded gains for the year, but underperformed their less developed peers.
The Internet Fund maintained its historic methodology of allocating capital to companies that are beneficiaries of the Internet and related disruptive technologies. The Fund’s performance was driven by its focus upon owner-operated companies that own and provide media content. We believe that the technological innovation that facilitated additional channels for content to be distributed to consumers (i.e., satellite radio, internet TV, among others) will ultimately result in original content commanding an ever higher price premium.
The Multi-Disciplinary Fund was able to achieve “equity-like” returns with materially less price volatility through a two-pronged approach of selling put options related to high quality owner-operator companies and utilizing the resulting income to make advantageous fixed income investments. The Fund benefitted from high implied volatility experienced in the middle of the year. As a result, the premiums received from selling put securities were elevated and high yield bonds prices were subdued, both trends ultimately reversing throughout the second half of the year.
The Global Fund is primarily positioned with a diverse selection of global owner-operated companies. Many of these companies have various lines of business, with revenues generated across several countries. The performance of the Fund was bolstered by investments in consumer companies located in continental Europe, but with internationally diverse sales. The Fund also benefitted from companies that had meaningful exposures to secular trends in unique local or regional economies.
The Alternative Income Fund (formerly, The Water Infrastructure Fund) experienced a mandate shift effective January 1, 2013, effectively replacing a multi-disciplinary approach to water infrastructure investing with a more conservative broad option income strategy. The performance of the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2012, was primarily driven by premiums received on water related companies, bolstered by income and capital appreciation on related fixed income securities. Over the next several years the performance of the Fund will likely be primarily driven by income generated on conservative, far out of the money put options. The complimentary short-term fixed income portfolio will probably contribute minimal performance until interest rates rise and/or corporate bond spreads widen in the United States.

Disclosure
This material is intended to be reviewed in conjunction with a current prospectus, which includes all fees and expenses that apply to a continued investment, as well as information regarding the risk factors, policies and objectives of the Funds. Read it carefully before investing.
Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Because The Internet Fund, The Medical Fund and The Market Opportunities Fund invest in a single industry or geographic region, their shares are subject to a higher degree of risk than funds with a higher level of diversification. Internet, biotechnology and certain capital markets or gaming stocks are subject to a rate of change in technology, obsolescence and competition that is generally higher than that of other industries, hence they may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations.
International investing [for all Funds] presents special risks including currency exchange fluctuation, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability. Accordingly, the share prices for these Funds are expected to be more volatile than that of U.S.-only funds. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
Because smaller companies [for The Small Cap Opportunities Fund] often have narrower markets and limited financial resources, they present more risk than larger, more well established, companies.
Non-investment grade debt securities [for all Funds], i.e., junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, price volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities.
Further, options contain special risks including the imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the value of the underlying asset. Investments [for The Multi- Disciplinary Fund and The Alternative Income Fund] in futures, swaps and other derivative instruments may result in loss as derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. To the extent the Funds segregate assets to cover derivative positions, they may impair their ability to meet current obligations, to honor requests for redemption
and to manage the investments in a manner consistent with their respective investment objectives. Purchasing and writing put and call options and, in particular, writing “uncovered” options are highly specialized activities that entail greater than ordinary investment risk.
As non-diversified Funds, the value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies. Unlike other investment companies that directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, The Kinetics Mutual Funds pursue their investment objectives by investing all of their investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series of the Kinetics Portfolios Trust.
The information concerning the Funds included in the shareholder report contains certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Expense Example |
December 31, 2012 |
Shareholders incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvestments of dividends or other distributions made by a Fund, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2), ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively the “Feeder Funds”), and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2012 and held for the entire period from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
Actual Expenses
The first line and second line items of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses before and after expense reimbursement. Unlike other mutual funds that directly acquire and manage their own portfolio securities, each Feeder Fund invests all or generally all of its investable assets in a corresponding series of The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (each, a “Master Portfolio”, and together the “Master Portfolios”), a separately registered investment company. The Master Portfolio, in turn, invests in securities. With this type of organization, expenses can accrue specifically to the Master Portfolio or the Feeder Fund or both. Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s expenses, including directed brokerage credits, on a daily basis. Any expense reductions include Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
The Feeder Funds will charge shareholder fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and exchanges executed by telephone between a Feeder Fund and any other Feeder Fund. The Feeder Funds’ transfer agent charges a $5.00 transaction fee to shareholder accounts for telephone exchanges between any two Feeder Funds. The Feeder Funds’ transfer agent does not charge a transaction fee for written exchange requests. IRA accounts are assessed a $15.00 annual fee. Finally, as a disincentive to market-timing transactions, the Feeder Funds will assess a 2.00% fee on the redemption or exchange of Fund shares held for less than 30 days. These fees will be paid to the Feeder Funds to help offset transaction costs. The Feeder Funds reserve the right to waive the redemption fee, subject to their sole discretion, in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Feeder Funds or shareholders as described in the Feeder Funds’ prospectus.
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Expense Example — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
You may use the information provided in the first line, together with the amounts 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 Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The third and fourth line items of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses before and after expense reimbursements based on the Feeder Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Feeder Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses one paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Feeder Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight one’s ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help one determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs had been included, one’s costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements |
December 31, 2012 |
1. Organization
Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company is an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series. One billion shares are authorized for the Company with a par value of $0.001 per share. The series of the Company presently authorized are The Internet Fund (“Internet”), The Global Fund (“Global”), The Paradigm Fund (“Paradigm”), The Medical Fund (“Medical”), The Small Cap Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap”), The Market Opportunities Fund (“Market Opportunities”), The Water Infrastructure Fund (“Water Infrastructure”), and The Multi-Disciplinary Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary”). Investment operations of the Company began on October 21, 1996 (Internet), September 30, 1999 (Medical), December 31, 1999 (Global and Paradigm), March 20, 2000 (Small Cap), January 31, 2006 (Market Opportunities), June 29, 2007 (Water Infrastructure), and February 11, 2008 (Multi- Disciplinary). Each series, unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series (each a “Master Portfolio” and collectively the “Master Portfolios”) of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”).
On April 28, 2000 (January 31, 2006 with respect to Market Opportunities, June 29, 2007 with respect to Water Infrastructure, and February 11, 2008 with respect to Multi-Disciplinary), each series in the Company entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each series (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) invested all of its assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio which had the same investment objective as the Feeder Fund. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds. Each Feeder Fund receives a proportionate amount of interest in the Master Portfolio equal to its relative contribution of capital. Thus, each Feeder Fund is allocated its portion of income, gains (losses) and expenses from the Master Portfolio.
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
Each Feeder Fund’s respective interest in the corresponding Master Portfolio as of December 31, 2012 is as follows:
| |
| Interest in |
| Master Portfolio |
Internet Fund | 99.991% |
Global Fund | 99.901% |
Paradigm Fund | 95.875% |
Medical Fund | 99.892% |
Small Cap Fund | 99.968% |
Market Opportunities Fund | 99.974% |
Water Infrastructure Fund | 98.999% |
Multi-Disciplinary Fund | 99.760% |
Prior to the conversion to a master-feeder fund structure on April 28, 2000, each then existing series conducted its own investment operations.
As of December 31, 2012 each of the Feeder Funds offers Advisor Class A shares. Advisor Class A shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Advisor Class A shares are also subject to a front-end sales charge of 5.75%.
As of December 31, 2012, each of the Feeder Funds offers Advisor Class C shares. Advisor Class C shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. Advisor Class C shares do not have a sales charge.
As of December 31, 2012, each of the Feeder Funds offers No Load Class shares. No Load Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge.
As of December 31, 2012 the Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Water Infrastructure, and Multi-Disciplinary Funds offer Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.20% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge.
Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the Rule 12b-1 fees paid by the Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares, the sales charge on the Advisor Class A shares, the shareholder servicing fees paid by the Advisor Class A, Advisor Class C, No Load Class and

December 31, 2012 |
Institutional Class shares, voting rights on matters pertaining to a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Shares of each Feeder Fund will assess a 2.00% redemption fee (with exceptions) on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class based on its relative net assets.
Refer to the Master Portfolio’s financial statements to obtain information about the investment objective of the corresponding Feeder Fund. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the portfolios of investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Feeder Funds’ financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Foreign securities are valued by an independent pricing service. In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If the composite option price is not available, the mean between the highest bid and the lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. If none of the above are available, exchange traded options are valued at the last
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
quoted sales price. Non-exchange traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. Fixed-income securities (other than obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less) are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data.
Instruments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Advisor or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Advisor; and (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At December 31, 2012, 0.00%, 0.00% and 0.00% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at December 31, 2012.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Written Option Accounting
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When the Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes to market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities.

When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.

Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker-dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 331/3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by Feeder Funds are allocated among the Feeder Funds (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Feeder Funds, depending on the nature of the expenditure.
Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the corresponding Master Portfolio’s expenses on a daily basis. In addition, each Feeder Fund accrues its own separate expenses. Any cap on expenses includes Feeder Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
It is the Feeder Funds’ policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Feeder Funds intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The character of
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expenses and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the Feeder Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of December 31, 2012, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2009 through 2012. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and discounts on the interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Company’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets & Liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2011-11 will have on the Feeder Funds’ financial statements and disclosures.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. |
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Shareholders of and Board of Directors
Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc.
Elmsford, New York
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The Internet Fund, The Global Fund, The Paradigm Fund, The Medical Fund, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund, The Market Opportunities Fund, The Water Infrastructure Fund and The Multi-Disciplinary Fund, each a series of shares of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, except for The Multi-Disciplinary Fund in which the financial highlights were for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period February 11, 2008 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform, nor were the Funds required to have, an audit of their 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. 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 eight funds of the Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements |
December 31, 2012 |
1. Organization
The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on March 14, 2000 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its beneficial interests in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The series currently authorized are: The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Master Portfolios, are “non-diversified” series of the Trust. The Market Opportunities Portfolio commenced operations on January 31, 2006, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio commenced operations on June 29, 2007 and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio commenced operations on February 11, 2008. Each of the remaining Master Portfolios commenced operations on April 28, 2000.
Each Master Portfolio is a Master Investment Portfolio in a master-feeder fund structure. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds invested in the Master Portfolio. By contributing assets to the Master Portfolio, the feeder funds receive a beneficial interest in the Master Portfolio. The Master Portfolio then invests the contributed assets in portfolio securities and allocates income, gains (losses) and expenses to the feeder funds based on the feeder funds’ proportionate interests in the Master Portfolio.
Each of the Master Portfolios, except for The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio, seeks to provide investors with long-term capital growth. The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio seeks to provide investors with total return. The Internet Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in the Internet and Internet-related activities. The Global Portfolio generally invests in the equity securities of foreign companies that have the ability to facilitate an increase in the growth of their traditional business lines and in U.S. companies benefiting from international economic growth. The Paradigm Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the investment adviser believes are undervalued and that have high returns on equity and are well positioned to reduce their costs, extend the reach of their distribution channels and experience significant growth in their assets or revenues. The Medical Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S.
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
and foreign companies engaged in medical research, pharmaceutical treatments and related medical technology industries and related technology industries, generally, with a focus on companies engaged in cancer research and drug development. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small capitalized companies that provide attractive valuation opportunities due to special situations such as lack of institutional ownership, lack of significant analyst coverage or companies with sound fundamentals that have experienced a short-term earnings shortfall. The Market Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in capital markets or related to capital markets, as well as companies involved in the gaming industry. The Water Infrastructure Portfolio invests primarily in securities and derivatives issued by U.S. and foreign companies engaged in water infrastructure and natural resources with a specific water theme and related activities. The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio utilizes a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed income and derivatives components.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Foreign securities are valued by an independent pricing service. In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
If the composite option price is not available, the mean between the highest bid and the lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. If none of the above are available, exchange traded options are valued at the last quoted sales price. Non-exchange traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. Fixed-income securities (other than obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less) are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Instruments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Advisor or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Advisor; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At December 31, 2012, 0.00%, 0.00% and 0.00% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at December 31, 2012.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Written Options
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
December 31, 2012 |
the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. At December 31, 2012 the following Master Portfolios held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A securities):
| | | | | Percentage of | |
| | Market Value | | Net Assets | |
The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio | | $ | 10,272,656 | | | 17.25% | |
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Master Portfolio has valued the investment. At December 31, 2012, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
| | | | | Percentage of | |
| | Market Value | | Net Assets | |
The Internet Portfolio | | $ | 3 | | | 0.00 | % |
The Paradigm Portfolio | | | 31 | | | 0.00 | % |
The Market Opportunities Portfolio | | | — | * | | 0.00 | % |
| |
* | Amount is less than $0.50. |
When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid

December 31, 2012 |
assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.
Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1/3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
Short-Term Investments
The Portfolios may invest in money market funds and short-term high quality debt securities such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit. Money market funds typically invest in short-term instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value. At December 31, 2012, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, and the Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio invested approximately 20%, 19%, 17%, 35%, 21%, 24%, and 3%, respectively, of net assets in the Mount Vernon Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio which normally invests in short-term instruments with an objective of maximizing current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. Mount Vernon Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio’s financial statements are available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated among the Master Portfolios (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Master Portfolios, depending on the nature of the expenditure. All expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated to the feeder funds daily based on their proportionate interests in the respective Master Portfolios.

Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Master Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of December 31, 2012, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2009 through 2012. The Master Portfolios are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and discounts on the interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
3. Investment Adviser
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics LLC. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

7. Summary of Fair Value Exposure
Security Valuation
Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Master Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| |
| Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Master Portfolio has the ability to access. |
| |
| Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
| |
| Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a Master Portfolio’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under GAAP more comparable to those prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets & Liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2011-11 will have on the Master Portfolios’ financial statements and disclosures.

The Water Infrastructure Fund made corresponding changes to its name and investment mandate on January 1, 2013.

To the Shareholders of and Board of Trustees
Kinetics Portfolios Trust
Elmsford, New York
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio, and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio, each a series of shares of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”), as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, except for The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio in which the financial highlights were for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period February 11, 2008 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform, nor was the Trust required to have, an audit of its 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 Trust’s 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 eight portfolios of the Kinetics Portfolios Trust as of December 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of trustees/directors has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Mr. Douglas Cohen and Mr. Joseph Breslin are the “audit committee financial experts” and are considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| | | | |
| FYE 12/31/2012 Kinetics Portfolios Trust | FYE 12/31/2012 Kinetics Mutual Funds | FYE 12/31/2011 Kinetics Portfolios Trust | FYE 12/31/2011 Kinetics Mutual Funds |

Audit-Related Fees | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Tax Fees | 22,000 | 22,000 | 22,000 | 22,000 |
All Other Fees | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| | |
| FYE 12/31/2012 | FYE 12/31/2011 |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
