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.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance:
Six Months Ended December 31, 2009
(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 prices 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 credit ratings assigned to bonds issued by state or local governments, changes in the credit ratings assigned to bond insurers, 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, 2009 (the “reporting period”), the economy began to recover from the deep recession which began in December 2007. 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 an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the third quarter of 2009. Real GDP increased at a 5.7 percent annual rate (advance estimate) during the fourth quarter of 2009 which was the best performance since the third quarter of 2003. Efforts to rebuild depleted inventories and spending related to government stimulus programs accounted for most of growth during the second half of 2009. For all of 2009, the economy contracted 2.4 percent, the worst single-year performance since 1946.
The Federal Reserve kept the fed funds target rate unchanged at 0 to 1/4 percent during the reporting period. In addition to keeping policy interest rates stable, the Federal Reserve expanded liquidity facilities and launched several initiatives to purchase longer-term assets such as agency-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, agency debt, and Treasury securities. Additionally, the Federal Reserve lent money to stabilize several systemically important institutions. All of these measures led to a marked improvement in the functioning of financial markets during the reporting period.
Conditions in the labor market deteriorated but showed some signs of improvement towards the end of the year. The seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate remained elevated and stood at 10.0 percent at the end of the reporting period. The housing market continued to show signs of weakness during the
i
reporting period, despite support from various government programs. Core consumer price inflation continued to subside during the reporting period reflecting the still weak pace of economic activity. The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure, the core personal consumption expenditures price index, increased at an annual rate of 1.5 percent in December.
Treasury yields increased (prices down) during the reporting period as the economy continued to stabilize and investors moved away from the relative safety of Treasuries into riskier asset classes. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note increased approximately thirty basis points during the second half of the year and ended the reporting period at 3.85 percent. The increase in Treasury yields primarily reflected renewed confidence in the economy and concerns about the massive size of impending Treasury supply resulting from the federal deficit. Municipal bond yields moved the opposite direction of Treasuries, with yields declining (prices up) during the reporting period. The yield on a 10-year AAA-rated municipal bond declined approximately twenty three basis points during the second half of the year and ended the reporting period at 3.00 percent
The strong performance of municipal bonds was attributable to a number of factors with supply and demand being perhaps the most important factors. On the supply side, the issuance of taxable Build America Bonds continued to eat into the supply of new tax-exempt issues. The dwindling supply of new tax-exempt issues led to firmer prices for tax-exempt bonds trading in the secondary market. Demand from retail and institutional investors for tax-exempt bonds was robust during the reporting period as investors moved out of low-yielding cash and cash-equivalents in search of higher yields. Low levels of inflation and expectations of higher tax rates also added to the relative attractiveness of municipal bonds.
A discussion of the performance of each of our funds for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 follows:
The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 4.19% during the reporting period compared to a total return of 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of 2.82% during the period under review compared to a total return of 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 4.54% during the reporting period compared to a total return of 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index. The Tennessee Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 3.00% during the reporting period compared to 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 4.33% during the reporting period compared to 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of 2.57% during the reporting period compared to 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index.
ii
The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total a total return of 4.64% during the reporting period compared to 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index.
The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 5.11% during the reporting period compared to 6.10% for the BarCap Municipal Bond Index.
The best performing sectors in the municipal market during the six months ended December 31, 2009, were lower-rated credits (BBB) with longer maturities such as hospitals, tobacco settlement bonds, pollution control revenue bonds, and industrial development revenue bonds. Typically, we underweight these more speculative types of bonds in all of our municipal bond Series. We believe over the long-term this will produce the highest level of tax-free income without taking undue risk to principal. Because the BarCap Municipal Bond Index is more heavily weighted to these speculative categories of bonds, all of our municipal bond Series underperformed the index during the reporting period. However, we do not anticipate that the factors that caused the Series’ underperformance in this period to persist in future periods.
The Intermediate Government Bond Series achieved a total return of 1.88% during the reporting period compared to 1.21% for the BarCap U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index. The index is made up of various types of government bonds, including Treasuries and agency securities. The Intermediate Government Bond Series currently holds only agency securities. Investor demand for agency securities improved during the reporting period, causing prices of agency securities to rise relative to Treasuries. This “tightening” of agencies caused the slight outperformance of the fund relative to the index.
It should be noted that the BarCap Municipal Bond and U.S. Government Bond Indexes do not take into account any operating expenses or transaction costs. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009
UNAUDITED
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, respectively.
The Intermediate Government Bond Series’ investment strategy is to invest only in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and Agencies of the U.S. Government. The Intermediate Government Bond Series will buy bonds and notes that will maintain an average maturity of no more than ten years.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
A. Security Valuation
Securities 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 FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820). ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:
| | |
Level 1: | | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
| |
Level 2: | | Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. |
| |
Level 3: | | Price determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, where there is little or not market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available. |

UNAUDITED
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2009, for the Fund’s investments is included at the end of the Funds Schedule of Investments.
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. 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:
| | |
Monthly for: | | 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 |

G. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
H. Subsequent Events
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 February 8, 2009.
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 six months ended December 31, 2009, investment advisory fees and waived amounts were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Investment Advisory fees | | Waived Investment Advisory fees |

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, 2010, 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 which may exceed the credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances.

OTHER UNAUDITED INFORMATION

In considering whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees, at their meeting of October 21, 2009, 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.
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. For the most part, the Series’ returns over the periods reviewed have been very close to the series’ benchmarks. For additional detail about the considerations for each Trust Series, see Account-by-Account synopsis below.
Cost and Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the audited (year ended December 31, 2008) and unaudited financial statements (nine months ended September 30, 2009) 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, 2009). 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 considered and reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and
49
DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
OTHER UNAUDITED INFORMATION

UNAUDITED
profits derived by Dupree & Co. for services rendered in its capacity as Investment Adviser to each Series since the inception of each Series. The Trustees determined that the profits earned were reasonable in light of the advisory, administrative and other services provided to each Series and the historic subsidization provided by Dupree & Co. to the several Series.
Fees Charged by Other Advisers
The Trustees considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar investment portfolios. The Trustees received comparative fee 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
In addition to considering that the Investment Adviser’s fees are comparable to fees charged to other similar portfolios, the Trustees also considered that economies of scale are integrated into the expense formulation. Accordingly, as assets increase, the Investment Adviser’s fees decrease on a percentage basis.
Fee Comparison with Other Clients
The only Investment Company served by the Investment Adviser is the Trust.
Other Benefits
The Trustees considered that the Investment Adviser derives a financial benefit from its advisory relationship with the Trust. The sole benefit that accrues to the Investment Adviser is an increase in total fees received as each Series increases in net asset size. The benefit to the shareholders of each Series is that the Investment Adviser’s fees decrease on a percentage basis as total net assets under management increase. Dupree & Company, Inc. reported no other indirect benefits attributable to management of the Series, including, but not limited to, soft dollar arrangements.

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, 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.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an investment company in the reports that it files on Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the investment company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Further, on February 16, 2010 the Registrant’s President and Treasurer assessed the internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the investment company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the investment
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trustees of the investment company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the investment company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
The Registrant’s President and Treasurer have deemed the disclosure controls and procedures and the internal control over financial reporting effective.
