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 50 years in business, Dupree continues to be a pioneer in the industry. Our Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi Series are currently the ONLY 100% “no-load” municipal bond funds available in those states. No-load means simply that shares of the funds are offered directly to investors with no front or back-end sales charges, as opposed to load funds which are sold through brokerage firms or other institutions.
At Dupree Mutual Funds, our goal is a simple one: to offer investors a high-quality, low-cost way to invest in municipal and government bonds while providing superior service to our shareholders. We encourage you to let us know how we’re doing.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance: Six Months Ended December 31, 2007 | | (Unaudited) |
The investment objective for our municipal bond funds is to provide a high level of tax-free income derived from state-specific municipal securities without incurring undue risk to principal. Similarly, the investment objective for our government bond fund is to provide a high level of income derived from securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies without incurring undue risk to principal. As a general rule, we do not try to anticipate market direction; instead, we attempt to buy high quality bonds at the best possible price and hold them in down markets as well as up markets.
Factors which may influence the performance of a state-specific municipal bond fund include, but are not limited to, movements in interest rates, a downgrading or upgrading of ratings assigned to bonds issued by state or local governments, downturns or upturns in the specific economies of a given state, the rate at which bonds are called, and the rate at which revenues are received by state and local governments which are used to pay debt service on issued bonds. Similarly, many factors may influence the performance of a government bond fund including, but not limited to, movements in interest rates, prevailing conditions in the U.S. Government securities markets, changes in an issuer’s financial strength, changes in the credit rating assigned to an obligation, and the rate at which bonds are called.
During the six month period ended December 31, 2007, the U.S. economy continued to grow at a respectable pace. Real gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of the output of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States, increased at a 4.9% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2007. This compared with a 3.8% increase in real GDP during the second quarter of 2007. However, economic growth slowed considerably in the fourth quarter of 2007 with real GDP increasing at only a 0.6 % (advance estimate) annualized rate. The seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate edged up during the second half of the year and reached 5.0% in December.
Most sectors of the economy continued to expand during the second half of the year with the exception of the housing industry which continued to contract. The downturn in the housing sector resulted in substantial losses in the mortgage market, particularly in the subprime area. The housing sector turmoil contributed to financial market disruptions which led to increased volatility in financial markets during the second half of the year. In response to tightening credit conditions, the Federal Reserve lowered the fed funds target rate in September from 5.25% to 4.75%. The Federal Reserve lowered the fed funds target rate again by twenty five basis points at both its October and December meetings bringing the fed funds rate down to 4.25% by year-end.
During the period under review, the municipal yield curve steepened considerably with yields on the short end of the curve falling approximately 80 basis points. Yields on short-term treasuries also fell significantly as treasuries benefited from a flight to quality as confidence in the stock market faded during the second half of the year. We continued
i
to adhere to our longstanding strategy of managing our funds to provide a high level of tax-free income to our shareholders without incurring undue risk to principal. As part of this discipline, we continued to buy higher coupon bonds in an effort to maximize current income to shareholders. Our municipal bond funds do not hold any bonds that are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax.
A discussion of the performance of each of our funds for the six month period ended December 31, 2007 follows:
The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.51% for the period under review. This performance compared favorably with the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.45% for the period under review which also compared favorably with the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%. The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series held a substantial number of pre-refunded bonds which helped it outperform the index.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 2.92% for the period under review. This performance lagged the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%. This small underperformance was the result of owning a larger amount of bonds in the 20-30 year maturity range, a portion of the yield curve which slightly underperformed other maturity ranges. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 2.61% which also lagged the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%. This underperformance resulted from a downward re-pricing of a defaulted bond comprising approximately 2.41% of the par value of the portfolio at year-end.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.25% for the period under review. This performance compared favorably with the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.41% for the period under review which also compared favorably with the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%.
The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.20% for the period under review. This performance closely approximated the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%.
The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.23% for the period under review. This performance compared favorably with the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index which had a total return of 3.22%.
ii
The Intermediate Government Bond Series provided shareholders with a total return of 6.65% for the period under review. This performance slightly lagged the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index which had a total return of 6.83%.
It should be noted that the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond and Government Bond Indices do not take into account any operating expenses or transaction costs. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.
At the end of the review period, economic growth continued to be restrained by a weak housing sector and rising energy costs. Energy prices spiked towards the end of 2007 which contributed to an increase in inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which rose by 4.1% in December compared with a year earlier. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 2.4% in December compared with a year earlier. The economic forecast for 2008 is for economic growth to be below trend with the weak housing market continuing to act as a drag on the overall economy. Many economists believe that if the economy continues to slow inflationary pressures will ease.
Overall, we were pleased with the performance of all of our funds during the period under review. We believe that adhering to our longstanding policy of buying high quality investment grade bonds at the best prices possible helped us to achieve the desired results. We thank you for investing with Dupree Mutual Funds.

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.

1. | Significant Accounting Policies, continued: |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No.157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2007 the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on an identified cost basis.
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis.
| D. | When-Issued and Delayed 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.
Each of the Funds is a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is each Funds’ policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of all taxable income to their shareholders. The Funds have met the requirements of the code applicable to regulated investment companies for the year ended June 30, 2007. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements when adopted, has not yet been determined.

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:
| | |
Monthly for: | | Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series |
| | North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series |
| | Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series |

| | Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series |
| | North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series |

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.
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.

Each of these state-specific Funds is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of their states’ respective municipal securities than a fund that is not concentrated in these issuers to the same extent.
As of June 30, 2007, the Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium 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 have capital loss carryforwards which are available to offset future capital gains, if any. As of June 30, 2007 the Alabama Tax-Free Income Series and the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series do not have any capital loss carryforwards.

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, which have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
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, 2008, 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2007, the weighted average borrowings for each Fund were as follows:

Board of Trustees Approval of Existing Advisory Agreements
Dupree Mutual Fund’s Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the Trust’s corporate policies and adhering to fiduciary standards under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Trustees are responsible for the annual renewal of the Trust’s investment advisory agreements with each Series of the Trust. Under the Investment Advisory Agreements, Dupree & Company, Inc. assumes responsibility for providing investment advisory and other services.
In considering whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees, at their meeting on October 29, 2007, reviewed the following factors with respect to each Series: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Dupree & Company to each Series; (2) the investment performance of each Series; (3) the costs of the services provided to each Series and the profits realized or to be realized by Dupree & Company from its relationship with the Trust; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as each Series grows; (5) whether the level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of Series investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Dupree & Company with other clients; and (7) other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Dupree & Company from its relationship with the Trust.
The Trustees reviewed the following written materials in advance of the October 29, 2007 meeting: (1) The Annual Report for the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2007; (2) a report and memorandum dated October 19, 2007 prepared by the Investment Adviser containing data about the respective performance of each Series of the Fund, fees, expenses, purchases and redemptions for each Series, together with comparisons of data with other comparable funds; and (3) audited (year ended December 31, 2006) and unaudited financial statements (nine months ended September 30, 2007) of the Investment Adviser.
Set forth below are the general factors the Trustees considered for all of the Series, followed by an outline of the selected specific factors the Trustees considered for each particular Series.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
Pursuant to each agreement, the Investment Adviser provides investment supervisory services, office space and facilities and corporate administration. Specifically, the Investment Adviser obtains and evaluates relevant information regarding the economy, industries, businesses, municipal issuers, securities markets and securities to formulate a continuing program for the management of each Series’ assets in a manner consistent with the Series’ investment objectives’ and to implement this program by selecting the securities to be purchased or sold by the Series and placing orders for such purchases and sales. In addition, the Investment Adviser provides for the Series’ office needs, maintains each Series’ books and records, assumes and pays all sales and promotional expenses incurred in the distribution of each Series’ shares, staffs the Series with persons competent to perform all of its executive and administrative functions, supervises and coordinates the activities of the Trust’s institutional and other agents (e.g. custodian, transfer agent, independent accounts, independent legal counsel), and permits its officers and employees to serve as officers of the Trust, all without additional cost to the Trust.
The Trustees considered that the Investment Adviser is an experienced investment adviser whose investment professionals have managed the several series of the Trust since their inception. The Investment Adviser’s personnel provide active and extensive monitoring of the investment portfolios daily and report on the investment performance of the Series to the Trustees at their scheduled quarterly meetings. The Trustees considered that the Investment Adviser has carried out these responsibilities in a professional manner over the years.

The Trustees considered, among other things, the performance of each of the Series, as discussed below.
Performance
The Trustees considered the performance of each Series during historical and recent periods and compared to (i) standardized industry performance data, (ii) the performance of comparable mutual funds and (iii) the performance of recognized indices.
The Trustees considered the comparative performance and expense data for each Series prepared by an independent third party, Morningstar, Inc., for 1, 3 and 12 months and annualized for 3, 5 and 10 years as compared with other single state funds or government bond funds.
Cost and Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the audited (year ended December 31, 2006) and unaudited financial statements (nine months ended September 30, 2007) of Dupree & Company, Inc; statements of Dupree & Company Inc.’s revenues and costs of and profits from furnishing services to each Series (twelve months ended June 30, 2007). The Investment Adviser’s revenues and costs of and profits from furnishing services to each Series are allocated to each Series according to each Series’ identifiable costs and according to the size of the Series in relation to the total size of the Trust. The Trustees considered the Investment advisory fees paid to the Investment Adviser, expressed in dollar terms and as a percentage of assets under management. The Trustees also considered expenses waived or reimbursed by the Investment Adviser.
Fees Charged by Other Advisers
The Trustees considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar investment portfolios. The Trustees received comparative information for comparable peer group funds prepared by Morningstar. The Trustees considered that the proposed advisory fees to be paid to the Investment Adviser for its services to each Series are comparable to the advisory fees charged to other similar portfolios.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the comparable expenses incurred by other similar portfolios and considered the integration of economies of scale into the expense formulation. The Investment Adviser reported that no “economies of scale” have been identified, stating that larger portfolio size will require more personnel to oversee the growth of the portfolios. The Investment Adviser also reported that additional compliance requirements can be expected to consume more personnel time and may preclude the realization of economies of scale. The Investment Adviser noted that pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements, shareholders of each Series may benefit as total net assets under management increase, since the Investment Adviser’s fees decrease on a percentage basis at certain threshold levels.
Fee Comparison with Other Clients
The Trustees considered the other 2 clients served by the Investment Adviser, there being no other Investment Company served by the Investment Adviser, and the other clients being institutional clients, for which Dupree & Company purchases fixed income investments (no municipal bonds) for these clients.
Other Benefits
The Trustees considered that the Investment Adviser derives a financial benefit from its advisory relationship with the Trust. The sole benefit reported is an increase in total fees received as each Series increases in net asset size. Dupree & Company, Inc. reported no other indirect benefits attributable to management of the Series, including, but not limited to, soft dollar arrangements.

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 December 31, 2007” 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.
