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, and
Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series in 2000.
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, 2009 1
The investment objective of our 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 objective of our government bond fund is to provide a high level of stable income derived from securities of the U.S. government and its agencies without incurring undue risk to principal.
This report covers the 12-month period from June 30, 2008 through June 30, 2009 (the “reporting period”). The U.S. economy weakened significantly in the second half of 2008 as the financial and economic strains associated with the end of the housing boom intensified. Economic growth, as measured by the real gross domestic product (GDP), declined at a 0.5% annualized rate during the third quarter of 2008; however, economic activity dropped sharply in late 2008 with real GDP declining at a 6.3% annualized rate during the fourth quarter of 2008. The sharp drop-off in economic activity was accompanied by tightening credit conditions, declining asset prices, and rising unemployment.
A weakening U.S. economy and extreme volatility in financial markets led to a broad loss of confidence in the financial sector. In September, the U.S. government placed the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship and Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury also agreed to provide substantial liquidity to the insurance company AIG to keep it from failing. In October, Congress enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which, among other things, authorized the creation of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). TARP authorized the U.S. Treasury to purchase or insure up to $700 billion of troubled assets from financial institutions in order to strengthen the financial sector.
The deteriorating economy also led to a broad loss of business and consumer confidence. The collapse in confidence led to a severe liquidity squeeze in financial markets in September and October which resulted in steep decline in the prices of nearly all assets including municipal bonds. Against this backdrop, risk-averse investors flocked to the relative safety of U.S. Treasury securities which caused yields on those securities to plummet. At the same time, yields on high-grade municipal bonds peaked in mid-October and December as liquidity concerns and institutional selling pressures mounted.
The Federal Reserve and the Treasury implemented a variety of policy measures during the second half of 2008 aimed at increasing liquidity and stabilizing financial markets. These policy measures included a target fed funds rate of 0 to ¼ percent, direct purchases of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, capital injections into the banking system through purchases of preferred shares, and other programs offering government guarantees or backstops. These policy measures helped restore a degree of stability to financial markets.
The economic slowdown continued into 2009. Real GDP declined at a 6.4% annualized rate during the first quarter of 2009 and declined at a 1.0% annualized rate (advance estimate) during the second quarter of 2009. Conditions in the labor market deteriorated with the downturn in the economy. The national unemployment rate increased steadily and ended the reporting period at 9.5%. By the end of the reporting period, more than one quarter of American states had unemployment rates higher than 10%. Key measures of inflation declined during the first half of 2009 as steep declines in the prices of energy and other commodities reduced inflationary pressures. Inflation expectations also remained subdued during the first half of 2009.
State fiscal conditions deteriorated over the past twelve months as both income and corporate tax revenues declined substantially in most states. States relying on sales tax collections also experienced significant declines in revenue during the reporting period. The lower-than-expected revenue collections led to significant budget cuts in the five states (Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee) where we offer municipal bond funds.
In February, Congress enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to provide fiscal relief to state and local governments. The legislation includes a variety of measures totaling $787 billion. Approximately $250 billion of this has been set aside for state and local governments to assist with state budgets and for investments in infrastructure. A large portion of the federal stimulus money flowing to states is earmarked for Medicaid assistance. Most states expect budget problems to continue at least through 2011, so many states are planning to time the use of federal stimulus dollars so that the funds will be available over a three year period which the federal law allows.
Yields of municipal bonds peaked in mid-October and December of 2008. However, the municipal bond market staged an impressive rally during the first half of 2009 as retail and institutional demand rebounded with yields declining during the first six months of 2009. Demand for municipal bonds increased as the municipal bond sector became an asset class of choice for assets being redeployed from the stock market and low-yielding taxable investments. In April 2009, the U.S. Treasury released enabling regulations for the Build America Bonds (BAB) program that was created by the ARRA. The BAB program permits state and local governments to sell taxable bonds with the issuer receiving direct payments from the U.S. Treasury equal to 35% of the interest on the bonds for the life of the debt. Strong demand for taxable BABs during the second quarter significantly reduced the supply of tax-exempt bonds which lowered yields and increased prices for municipal bonds.
Notwithstanding unprecedented volatility in financial markets, our eight single-state municipal bond funds and our government bond fund performed well during the reporting period. Our strategy of buying only high quality investment grade bonds and holding on to them served us well during this extremely volatile period. A brief discussion of the performance of each of our funds is provided below.
The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders a total return of 5.65% for the one year period ending June 30, 2009. This performance compared favorably with the fund’s comparative index, the BarCap Municipal Bond Index, which had a total return of 3.77% for the same period. The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series held large positions in water and sewer revenue bonds, state appropriation supported bonds, and pre-refunded bonds all of which helped the fund outperform the index during the reporting period.
The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 5.02% during the period under review compared with a total return of 3.77% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index. The fund benefited from a shorter average effective maturity than the index. During this high volatility reporting period, the prices of bonds with shorter maturities fluctuated less than the prices of bonds with longer maturities.
Like most states, Kentucky’s economic growth slowed during the reporting period. The state’s real gross domestic product (GDP) for 2008 contracted at an annual rate of 0.1% compared with real GDP growth of 0.7% at the national level. The state’s annual average unemployment rate through the end of June stood at 10.9% compared with the national average of 9.5%. The preliminary estimate of 2008 per capita income in Kentucky was $29,740 compared with the national average of $37,899, ranking 43rd in the nation.
Kentucky has historically relied on a large manufacturing sector. The manufacturing sector in Kentucky, which includes the automotive industry, lost nearly 40,000 jobs since June 2008. Ongoing woes in the housing sector also led to substantial job losses in the construction industry. The information and business services sectors also contracted with the downturn in the economy. On a positive note, the educational and health services sector added a number of jobs during the reporting period.
Kentucky continues to be one of the largest coal exporting states. Employment in the mining sector was one of the few bright spots for the state. The state has continued to attract high-tech companies and recently has expanded its efforts to attract businesses focusing on alternative fuels and renewable energy. The Commonwealth’s appropriation supported debt was rated Aa2 by Moody’s and AA- by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2009.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.40% for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2009, compared with a total return of 3.77% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index for the same period. The fund underperformed the index in part due to certain bond insurer credit rating downgrades, which caused the market value of some insured bonds in the portfolio to decline. This negatively impacted the fund’s total return during the reporting period.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series had a total return of 5.31% for the period under review compared with a total return of 3.77% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index for the same period. The fund benefited from a shorter average effective maturity than the index. During this high volatility reporting period, the prices of bonds with shorter maturities fluctuated less than the prices of bonds with longer maturities.
Tennessee’s economy has suffered along with the national economy. The state’s real GDP for 2008 grew at an annual rate of 0.5% compared with the national average of 0.7%. The state’s annual unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period was 10.8% which was above the national average of 9.5%. The preliminary estimate of 2008 per capita income in Tennessee was $33,825 compared with the national average of $37,899, ranking 30th in the nation.
Labor market conditions deteriorated substantially in the state during the reporting period. Job losses were broad based across the state and included declines in employment in the manufacturing, construction, professional services, financial services, and the travel and leisure sectors. Tennessee experienced a sharp downturn in the housing sector which has resulted in lower housing prices and significantly diminished construction activity. Growth in personal income slowed during the reporting period as jobs have contracted. As income growth has weakened, so too have taxable sales and sales tax collections. Nominal taxable sales were down 1.6% for all of 2008, compared to growth of 4.1% in 2007. Tennessee’s general obligation (G.O.) bonds were rated Aa1 by Moody’s and AA+ by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2009.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 4.83% for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2009. This performance compared favorably with the fund’s comparative index, the BarCap Municipal Bond Index, which had a total return of 3.77% for the same period. The fund outperformed the index in part due to strong performance of the fund’s largest holdings which included bonds issued by the City of Charlotte, the North Carolina Infrastructure Finance Corporation, and the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 5.04% for the period under review compared with a total return of 3.77% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index for the same period. The fund benefited from a shorter average effective maturity than the index. During this high volatility reporting period, the prices of bonds with shorter maturities fluctuated less than the prices of bonds with longer maturities.
North Carolina’s economy also slowed in response to the slowdown in the national economy. The state’s real GDP for 2008 grew at an annual pace of 0.1% which was slightly lower than the national average of 0.7%. The state’s annual average unemployment rate though the end of June was 11.0% compared with the national average of 9.5%. The preliminary estimate of 2008 per capita income in North Carolina was $35,719 compared with the national average of $37,899, ranking 25th in the nation.
Recessionary conditions pressured the manufacturing, construction, and financial services sectors in North Carolina during the reporting period. Although manufacturing has declined in importance in recent years, the state still relies on a strong manufacturing base which accounts for approximately 12.6% of its employment base. The manufacturing sector has shed a significant number of jobs during this economic downturn. The professional services and financial services sectors have also been negatively impacted by the recession.
General economic weakness and a tightening in credit conditions led to a substantial slowdown in construction activity. However, housing prices in the state have held up relatively well during the economic downturn as the state has not experienced a tremendous rise and subsequent decline in housing prices as in California, Nevada, and Florida. The housing market has been supported by strong population growth in the state. With an attractive climate and diverse geography, the state has continued to have a steady inflow of young educated workers and retirees. Population growth has averaged about two percent each year during the past few years. North Carolina’s G.O. bonds were rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2009.
The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.95% for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2009. This performance compared favorably with the fund’s comparative index, the BarCap Municipal Bond Index, which returned 3.77% for the same period. The fund held no Jefferson County, AL securities during the reporting period. Approximately $1 million of Birmingham, AL bonds were sold from the portfolio during the reporting period due to concerns of spillover effects from Jefferson County. These sales slightly reduced total return for the year, but better positioned the fund going forward.
Alabama’s economy fell into recession somewhat later than the official U.S. date of December 2007. However, the state has faced the same challenges as the rest of the nation. Slowdowns in consumer and business spending, tightened lending conditions, and a weak housing sector have negatively impacted both output and employment across Alabama. The state’s real GDP for 2008 grew at an annual rate of 0.7% matching the national average of 0.7%. The state’s annual average unemployment rate through the end of June stood at 10.1% which exceeded the national average of 9.5%. The preliminary estimate of 2008 per capita income in Alabama was $29,411 compared with the national average of $37,899, ranking 44th in the nation.
The labor market in Alabama began to deteriorate in June 2008 and the unemployment rate steadily increased during the reporting period. Alabama’s manufacturing sector has been hit hard by the recession. The automotive industry has suffered as consumers postponed purchases of new automobiles which led to significant job losses in the motor vehicle and parts manufacturing sectors. The service sector has also been negatively impacted by the recession with service-providing businesses shedding a number of jobs. Tourism and aerospace continue to be major industries in the state. Alabama’s G.O. bonds were rated Aa2 by Moody’s and AA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2009.
The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series had a total return of 3.72% for the twelve months ending June 30, 2009, compared with a total return of 3.77% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index. The fund saw strong performance from general obligation bonds issued by the State of Mississippi. A number of the smaller, thinly-traded issues held in the fund did not perform as well during the reporting period. The combination of these two phenomena resulted in performance approximately in line with the index.
Like the other states mentioned above, Mississippi’s economy has also been negatively impacted by the recession. The state’s real GDP for 2008 grew at an annual rate of 1.7% which outpaced the national average of 0.7%. The state’s annual average unemployment rate through the end of June was 9.0% compared with the national average of 9.5%. The preliminary estimate of 2008 per capita income in Mississippi was $24,403 compared with the national average of $37,899, ranking 50th in the nation.
The state’s manufacturing sector continued to contract with the manufacturing sector suffering close to a 10% drop in employment during the reporting period. The transportation equipment, furniture, and wood products industries suffered the greatest job losses over the past twelve months. Although a number of construction projects related to hurricane Katrina are still ongoing, the pace of construction slowed considerably during the reporting period. Gaming revenues, both on the coast and on the Mississippi River, declined as state gaming taxes came in below estimates. The housing sector in Mississippi followed the downturn in the national housing market with the state experiencing a significant decline in the issuance of residential building permits. The state’s G.O. bonds were rated Aa3 by Moody’s and AA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2009.
The Intermediate Government Bond Series had a total return of 5.99% for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2009, compared with a total return of 6.42% for the BarCap U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index for the same period. The fund slightly underperformed the index primarily due to the index’s substantial weighting in U.S. Treasuries. Typically, agency debt such as that held in the Intermediate Government Bond Series is considered a safe haven in troubled times. However, because of the unprecedented volatility experienced in financial markets during the reporting period, risk-averse investors turned primarily to U.S. Treasuries. Accordingly, most agency-only portfolios such as the Intermediate Government Bond Series underperformed the benchmark index.
It should be noted that index information is provided for reference only. No index can perfectly match the investments that make up a fund’s portfolio. In making investment decisions for our portfolios we do not attempt to track indices. The BarCap Municipal Bond index is national in scope and does not necessarily reflect the performance of state-specific municipal bond funds. Indices such as the BarCap Municipal Bond Index and the BarCap U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index do not take into account any operating expenses or transaction costs. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

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








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 an index that we believe gives the most accurate picture 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.
Please note that all legacy Lehman Brothers benchmark indices were rebranded as Barclays Capital (“BarCap”) indices in November 2008.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
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 nine 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
| The investment strategy of the eight state tax-free funds is to maintain 100% of their investments in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, or Tennessee municipal securities. |
| The Intermediate Government Bond Series' investment strategy is to invest only in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and Agencies of the U.S. Government. The Intermediate Government Bond Series will buy bonds and notes that will maintain an average maturity of no more than ten years. |
| The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. |
Securities held by the Intermediate Government 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.
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 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 SFAS 157 are described as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, continued: |
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, 2009, for the Fund’s investments is included at the end of the Funds Schedule of Investments.
On April 9, 2009 the FASB issued Staff Position SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance in estimating fair value under statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), when the volume and level of transaction activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. FSP 157-4 also provides additional guidance on circumstances that may indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the Funds have adopted its provisions for the period ending June 30, 2009. FSP 157-4 did not have a significant impact on the Funds’ financial position, results of operations, or disclosures for the period ending June 30, 2009.
| | |
| 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 into 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, 2009. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in |

| accordance with FASB statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process to recognize and measure a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and the second step is to measure a tax position that meets the threshold to determine the amount of benefit to recognize. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions 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. |
Distributions are payable:
| | Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series |
North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series
Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series
Intermediate Government Bond Series
| Quarterly for: | Alabama Tax-Free Income Series |
Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series
Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series
North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series

| 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. |
| | |
| | In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS No. 165). The Funds adopted SFAS No. 165 which requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. For nonrecognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, an entity will be required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. In addition, SFAS No. 165 requires an entity to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of their financial statements on August 18, 2009. |

| I. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
| | |
| | In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” and establishes the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM” (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial |

statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Funds evaluated this new statement, and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Funds’ 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, and Tennessee 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; and .35 of 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000. 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.
The Adviser may voluntarily waive investment advisory fees payable to it under the Investment Advisory Agreement with each Fund, and assume and pay other operating expenses. The Adviser will not seek to recoup any waived fees or other operating expenses it has assumed.
For the year ended June 30, 2009, investment advisory fees and waived amounts were as follows:

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, 2009, 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.
Through March 31, 2009, the Funds had a contractual agreement with the custodian whereby the bank would provide custodial services for $1.00 per year. Through arrangements with the Funds’ custodian, credits realized as a result of unninvested cash balances were used to reduce each Fund’s expenses. During the year, these credits reduced each of the Funds’ expenses by the amount shown on the Statements of Operation as “Custodian expense reduction.” Effective April 1, 2009, the Funds entered into an agreement to compensate the custodian for custodial services incurred exceeding the credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances.
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 investments, of Dupree Mutual Funds, comprised of Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series, North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series, Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, and Intermediate Government Bond Series (collectively, the Funds), as of June 30, 2009, 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. 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, 2009, 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, 2009, 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 their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, 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, 2009” 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. |
