ABOUT DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
In 1941, Dupree & Company, Inc. began business in Harlan, Kentucky as a small securities brokerage firm specializing in tax-exempt municipal bonds.
Over the years the firm, which in 1963 moved its offices to Lexington, Kentucky, grew to become a regional leader in public finance, helping to structure complex and innovative municipal bond financing for some of the largest public projects in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
In 1979, Dupree & Company began what is now Dupree Mutual Funds with the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series and became the Fund’s investment adviser. The Fund was one of the first single-state municipal bond funds in the country, and the first mutual fund to invest solely in Kentucky municipal bonds. Since then, several new offerings have been added to the Dupree Mutual Funds family:
Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1987;
Intermediate Government Bond Series in 1992;
Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series in 1993;
Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1994;
North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series in 1995;
North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1995;
Alabama Tax-Free Income Series in 2000;
Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series in 2000; and
Taxable Municipal Bond Series in 2010.
Today, after more than 60 years in business, Dupree continues to be a pioneer in the industry. Our Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi Series are currently the ONLY 100% “no-load” municipal bond funds available in those states. No-load means simply 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.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2015
The investment objective for our tax-exempt 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 objectives for our government bond fund and taxable municipal bond fund are to provide a high level of taxable income derived from securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies and taxable municipal bonds, respectively, 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 investment grade bonds at the best possible prices and yields and hold them in down markets as well as up markets.
Factors which may influence the performance of a state-specific tax-exempt municipal bond fund or a taxable municipal bond fund include, but are not limited to, movements in interest rates, a downgrade or upgrade 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, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”), economic activity expanded at a moderate 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 an annual rate of 2.0 percent in the third quarter. Real GDP increased at a 0.7 percent (advance estimate) annual rate in the fourth quarter. The U.S. economy expanded at a much slower pace in the fourth quarter as households tempered spending and businesses cut back on capital investment and made adjustments to inventories.
The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) increased the federal funds target rate range in December to 0.25 to 0.50 percent. The 25 basis point hike in the fed funds rate was the first rate increase since June of 2006. The Fed’s December statement reaffirmed that “it expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate.” The Fed continued its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities and rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction and indicated that it would continue this policy until normalization of interest rates is “well under way.”
Conditions in the labor market continued to gradually improve during the Reporting Period. The seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate was 5.0 percent in December. The labor participation rate remained at historically low levels. Average hourly earnings for all employees increased 2.5 percent over the twelve months ending in December. Activity in the housing sector showed mixed signs during the Reporting Period.
Key measures of inflation continued to trend lower during the second half of the year. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased at a 0.7 percent annual rate in December. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased at a 2.1 percent annual rate in December. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (“PCE”), increased by 0.6 percent on a year-over-year basis in December. The core PCE increased at a 1.4 percent annual rate in December. Declining energy and commodity prices pushed inflation indices lower during the Reporting Period. Inflation measures continued to run well below the Fed’s longer-run objective of a 2.0 percent target rate. Longer-term inflation expectations also remained well anchored during the Reporting Period.
Treasury and tax-exempt bond yields declined during the Reporting Period with the long end of the yield moving the most. Tax-exempt yields on benchmark 10-year and 30-year AAA rated municipal securities declined by 36 and 46 basis points, respectively. Treasury yields also declined during the Reporting Period with benchmark 10-year and 30-year Treasuries declining by 8 and 11 basis points, respectively.
As bond yields declined, the prices of municipal bonds increased. Generally, longer-dated bonds performed better than shorter-dated bonds during the Reporting Period. The decline in yields was the result of a combination of factors including declining Treasury yields, favorable supply/demand patterns, improving credit quality at the state and local level, and historically low inflation rates. Conditions in the municipal bond market were generally stable. The prices of bonds issued by Puerto Rico, however, fluctuated significantly as the market attempted to digest the impact of a restructuring plan being proposed by the Commonwealth. We are pleased to report that none of our single-state municipal bond funds hold any Puerto Rican bonds.

State revenues generally continued to show positive trends during the Reporting Period. According to preliminary data compiled by the Rockefeller Institute, state tax revenue collections in forty-four early reporting states grew by 4.3 percent during the third quarter of 2015. States expect fiscal year 2016 to be a weaker year than 2015, primarily because of an anticipated slowdown in the growth of income and sales tax revenue. States benefited from the strong stock market in 2014, which led to strong income tax collections in fiscal 2015. The subsequent weakening of the stock market likely is contributing to states’ forecasts of slower income tax growth in 2016 and 2017. While the fiscal health of states and localities has continued to slowly improve, unfunded pension and healthcare obligations still present challenges for many jurisdictions.
A discussion of the performance of each of our funds for the six month period ended December 31, 2015 follows:
During the Reporting Period, longer-dated bonds outperformed shorter-dated bonds. As a general matter, this caused all of our Tax-Free Income Series funds to have total returns that were greater than those generated by the Short-to-Medium Series. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (“Index”) had a modified adjusted duration of 6.24 years as of December 31, 2015. The modified adjusted durations of each of our eight single-state municipal bond funds were shorter (in the case of the Short-to-Medium Series substantially shorter) than the Index which caused each of these funds (except the Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series) to underperform the Index. At the end of the Reporting period, the Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series had a slightly longer nominal maturity than the Index (16.24 years versus 13.11 years) which caused it to slightly outperform the Index.
The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 2.55 percent during the Reporting Period compared to a total return of 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of 1.59 percent during the Reporting Period compared to a total return of 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 2.75 percent during the Reporting Period compared to a total return of 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of 1.49 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 3.00 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of 1.00 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total a total return of 2.77 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 3.42 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 3.18 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
The Intermediate Government Bond Series achieved a total return of 1.36 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 0.36 percent for the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index. The modified adjusted duration of the fund is longer than the index which caused it to outperform versus the index.
The Taxable Municipal Bond Series achieved a total return of 3.00 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 2.69 percent for the Barclays Capital Taxable Municipal Bond Index. The nominal maturity of the fund was slightly longer than the index which caused it to outperform versus the index.
It should be noted that the aforementioned Barclays Capital indices do not take into account any operating expenses or transaction costs. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS | UNAUDITED |
December 31, 2015
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Dupree Mutual Funds is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, open-end investment company. The Declaration of Trust of Dupree Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) permits the Trustees to create an unlimited number of series of investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and with respect to each series to issue an unlimited number of full or fractional shares of a single class. The Trust currently offers ten series:
Alabama Tax-Free Income Series
Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series
Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series
Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series
North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series
North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series
Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series
Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series
Intermediate Government Bond Series
Taxable Municipal Bond Series
The investment strategy of the eight state tax-free funds is to maintain 100% of their investments in their respective states of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, or Tennessee municipal securities.
The Intermediate Government Bond Series’ investment strategy is to invest only in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and Agencies of the U.S. Government. The Intermediate Government Bond Series will buy bonds and notes that will maintain an average maturity of no more than ten years.
The Taxable Municipal Bond Series’ investment strategy is to invest in taxable municipal bonds of investment grade quality.
Each Fund is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 – Investment Companies. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP)
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 nine municipal bond 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 matrix pricing models which take 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 have adopted the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3

measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2: | Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. | |
Level 3: | Prices 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 no 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 December 31, 2015, for the Funds’ investments is included at the end of the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds recognize transfers at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers in and out of level 1, 2 or 3 during the year ended December 31, 2015.
B. | Investment 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. | Investment 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, 2015. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no uncertain tax provisions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Generally, the tax authorities can examine all the tax returns for the last three years.
F. | Distributions |
Substantially all of the net investment income of the Funds is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of business each day. Distributions are payable in cash or in additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations.

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, the Funds (except the Intermediate Government Bond Series) have agreed to pay to the Adviser as compensation for all services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses paid or assumed by it under the Agreements, a fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the first $100,000,000 average daily net assets of each Fund determined separately; .45 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $100,000,001 and $150,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; .40 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $150,000,001 and $500,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; .35 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $500,000,001 and 750,000,000; .30 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $750,000,001 and 1,000,000,000; and .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1,000,000,000. The Intermediate Government Bond Series 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, 2015, fees voluntarily waived by the Adviser were as follows:
Fees waived by Adviser | ||||

Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series | 9,752 |
In addition, each Fund has entered into a Shareholder Service Agreement with Dupree & Company, Inc, the Funds’ transfer agent. The agreement provides for a fee computed on the average daily net asset value at the annual rate of .15 of 1% on the first $20,000,000 of average net assets and .12 of 1% of all amounts in excess of $20,000,000 of average net assets for each Fund.

The 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, and Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series each invest solely in debt obligations issued by the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee, respectively, and their respective political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. 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.

During the year ended June 30, 2015, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, certain reclassifications have been made to undistributed (accumulated) net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments and aggregate paid in capital by the amounts in the table below.

7. | Contingencies and Commitments |
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the 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. However, based on experience, the Funds believe the risk of loss is 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 a committed line of credit. The principal amounts borrowed are due on demand. The agreement expires on August 31, 2016, 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.
At December 31, 2015, the Funds had an aggregate unused line of credit amount of $24,297,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the average interest rate on borrowings was 3.26% and the daily weighted average borrowings for each Fund with borrowings were as follows:
Weighted average borrowings | ||||
Alabama Tax-Free Income Series | $ | 1,707 | ||

The Funds have a contractual agreement with the custodian whereby the Funds compensate the custodian for custodial services incurred exceeding the credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances. Credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce each Fund’s expenses. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, these credits reduced each of the Fund’s expenses by the amount shown on the Statement of Operations as “Custodian expense reduction.”

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, 2015” 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.

Further, on February 8, 2016 the Registrant’s Executive Vice 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.
