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. All of our single state municipal bond funds are 100% “no-load”. 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, 2016
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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), economic activity expanded at a moderate pace. Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter. Economic growth in the fourth quarter slowed significantly with real GDP increasing at only a 1.9 percent (advance estimate) annual rate. Economic growth has continued to fall below the trend rate of growth (real GDP rose just 1.6 percent for 2016 as a whole), which is partially the result of lingering headwinds from the financial crisis.
Conditions in the labor market continued to improve during the reporting period. The seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate was 4.7 percent in December. For all of 2016, job gains averaged about 180,000 per month. The unemployment rate is now close to estimates of its longer-run normal level. Both the labor force participation rate and the employment-to-population ratio are still much lower than historical averages. However, this appears to mostly reflect the aging of the population and other secular trends. Average hourly earnings increased at a 2.9 percent annual rate in December which is the highest level since 2009.
Key measures of inflation continued to move higher during the second half of the year and are now at levels closer to the Federal Open Market Committee’s 2 percent objective. The rise in inflation was largely anticipated and mainly reflected increases in energy prices and prices of non-energy imports. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased at a 2.1 percent annual rate in December. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased at a 2.2 percent annual rate in December. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (“PCE”), increased by 1.7 percent on a year-over-year basis in December. Longer run inflation expectations have remained relatively stable.
In response to a firmer labor market and a pickup in the rate of inflation, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) increased the federal funds target rate range by 25 basis points in December to 0.50 to 0.75 percent. The statement issued by the Fed in December reiterated that “it expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate.” The Fed also maintained its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities and rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction.
Treasury and tax-exempt bond yields moved higher during the reporting period. Yields spiked higher after the Presidential election on November 8. The sudden jump in yields was precipitated by market concerns that a new Trump administration would add a significant fiscal boost to the economy which, in turn, would lead to higher growth rates, higher inflation, and larger budget deficits. Tax-exempt yields on benchmark 10-year and 30-year AAA rated municipal securities increased by 102 and 96 basis points, respectively, during the reporting period. As bond yields increased, the prices of bonds decreased. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market remained stable during the reporting period and default rates of investment grade municipal bonds remained at historically low levels.
There is evidence that many states are seeing softening state tax collections. According to data compiled by the Rockefeller Institute of Government, state and local government revenue from major taxes declined by 0.5 percent in the second quarter of 2016 compared to a year earlier, a substantial deterioration from the 5.0 percent average growth for the four previous quarters. The recent state tax revenue weakness has been driven by a number of factors. Personal income tax collections were negatively impacted by weakness in the stock market and corporate income tax collections experienced outright declines. Sales tax growth was also weak due to slower growth in consumption of taxable goods and services.

Most states expect that weak revenue conditions will carry into fiscal 2017, which ends in summer 2017 for most states. A number of states are already seeing general fund revenues coming in below original budget projections for fiscal 2017, and some states may have to resort to mid-year spending reductions to address these shortfalls. State budgets will also likely be impacted in fiscal 2017 by federal tax reform that is currently being considered by Congress. Unfunded pension and healthcare obligations still present challenges for a number of states, with the Commonwealth of Kentucky being a notable example of a state that is faced with large unfunded pension obligations.
A discussion of the performance of each of our funds for the six month period ended December 31, 2015 follows:
During the reporting period, bonds experienced negative total returns as price declines exceeded income earned from coupon payments. Shorter-dated bonds generally outperformed longer-dated bonds during the reporting period. This resulted in all of our Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series having total returns that were slightly better than those generated by our Tax-Free Income Series. Due to their shorter duration, all eight of our single-state municipal bond funds performed either in line with or better than the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (“BCMBI”) during the reporting period.
The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of -3.21 percent during the reporting period compared to a total return of -3.91 percent for the BCMBI. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of -2.99 percent during the reporting period compared to a total return of -3.91 percent for the BCMBI.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of -3.27 percent during the reporting period compared to a total return of -3.91 percent for the BCMBI. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of -2.17 percent during the reporting period compared to -3.91 percent for the BCMBI.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of -3.95 percent during the reporting period compared to -3.91 percent for the BCMBI. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of -2.55 percent during the reporting period compared to -3.91 percent for the BCMBI.
The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total a total return of -3.09 percent during the reporting period compared to -3.91 percent for the BCMBI.
The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of -3.15 percent during the reporting period compared to -3.91 percent for the BCMBI.
The Intermediate Government Bond Series achieved a total return of -3.21 percent during the reporting period compared to -2.42 percent for the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index. The longer duration of the fund compared with the index (5.38 v. 3.90 years) caused it to underperform the index.
The Taxable Municipal Bond Series achieved a total return of -1.92 percent during the reporting period compared to -4.68 percent for the Barclays Capital Taxable Municipal Bond Index. The shorter duration of the fund compared with the index (7.45 v. 9.31 years) caused it to outperform the index.
It should be noted that the 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, 2016
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.
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies — Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN — also contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative investments. Although still evaluating the impact of the Rule, management believes that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the Funds’ current financial statement presentation and expects that the Funds will be able to comply with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017 compliance date.
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 (“U.S. GAAP”). The Trust operates as an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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 Trust’s Board of Trustee’s Valuation Committee. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Trust’s investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to the Valuation
54
Table of Contents
DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS | UNAUDITED |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, continued |
Procedures, the Board has delegated to a valuation committee, consisting of all of the Trustees the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures, including, under most circumstances, the responsibility for determining the fair value of the Trust’s securities or other assets. The Valuation Committee convenes as needed and reviews the valuation of all assets which have been fair valued for reasonableness. Shares of open-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest, if any, are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the underlying funds.
The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (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: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2: | Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, 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 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 a security, and would be based on the best information available. |
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2016, 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 period ended December 31, 2016.
B. | Investment Transactions |
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized 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. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.
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 this type of transaction, they are required to segregate cash or other liquid assets equal to the value of the securities purchased. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
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 December 31, 2016. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and all major jurisdictions, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, no provision for income taxes is required in the financial statements. Therefore, no additional tax expense, including any interest and penalties, was recorded in the current year and no adjustments were made to prior periods. To the extent the Funds recognize interest and penalties, they are included in interest expense and

other expenses, respectively, in the Statement of operations. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e. generally the last three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then).
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. Any net realized long term capital gains are distributed annually to shareholders. 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, which may differ from U.S. GAPP.
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 Taxable Municipal 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 Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series |
G. | Estimates |
The preparation of these 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 |
Subsequent events occurring after December 31, 2016 have been evaluated by the Adviser for potential impact to this report through the date the financial statements were issued. The Adviser has determined that there were no material subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in 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, 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; and .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.

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. However, based on experience, the Funds believe the risk of loss is remote.

Board of Trustees Approval of Investment 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). At a separate meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 27, 2014 to consider net investment advisory agreements for each Series of the Trust, the Trustees considered the matter and voted unanimously to approve new investment advisory agreements for each Series and to place the proposal before the shareholders of each Series. Voting separately by Series at the Annual Shareholders meeting October 26, 2014, the shareholders for each Series of the Trust approved new two year investment advisory agreements for each Series.
At a separate meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 29, 2016 the Trustees considered renewal of investment advisory agreements for each Series of the Trust. The Trustees considered the matter and voted unanimously to approve renewal of the investment advisory agreement for each Series for an additional year commencing November 1, 2016 and continuing in effect until October 31, 2017.
In preparation for the August 29, 2016 meeting, the Trustees requested and reviewed materials provided by Dupree & Company, Inc. These materials included the following: Dupree & Company, Inc. audited financial statements for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2015; unaudited financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2016; Dupree & Company’s, Inc. pre-tax profits from furnishing investment advisory services to each Series from November 1, 2014 through July 31, 2016; and each Series’ performance and portfolio characteristics since Dupree became the investment adviser pursuant to the current agreements. The Board also requested and reviewed reports prepared using data from Morningstar® and Lipper, independent sources of investment company data, relating to each Series’ performance and expenses as compared to the performance and expenses of its peer group.
In considering whether to approve new investment advisory agreements for each of the tax-free municipal bond Series, the Intermediate Government Bond Series, and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series, the Trustees reviewed the following factors with respect to each Series: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Dupree & Co. 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 & Co. 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 investors in the Series; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Dupree & Co. with other clients; and (7) other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Dupree & Co. from its relationship as investment adviser to the Trust.

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 as of July 31, 2016 as prepared by Morningstar®, Inc., an independent source of investment company data, annualized for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years as compared with other single state municipal bond funds, government bond funds, and taxable municipal bond funds. Morningstar®, Inc. comparative performance and expense data was considered for 1, 3 and 5 year periods and since inception for the Taxable Municipal Bond Series since it has been in existence only since November 1, 2010.
The Morningstar®, Inc. performance and expense data compared nine of the Trust Series to the Barclays Municipal TR Standard Index. The Intermediate Government Bond Series comparable index utilized was the Barclays US Agg Bond TR Standard Index.
The Morningstar®, Inc. comparable Category Index for the five Tax Free Income Series was the Barclays Municipal 10 Year, 8-12 TR Index. The comparable Category Index for the Short to Medium Series was the Barclays Municipal 3 Year, 2-4 TR Index. The comparable Category Index for the Intermediate Government Bond Series was the Barclays US Government TR Index and the comparable Category Index for the Taxable Municipal Bond Series was the Barclays Municipal 20 Year, 17-22 TR Index.
The Trustees also considered “Lipper Leaders” comparative performance and expense data for each Series as prepared by Lipper®, an independent source of investment company data. The Lipper® data of July 14, 2016 included Fund performance relative to peers. The five Tax Free Income Series were compared with “Other States Municipal Debt Funds.” The three Short to Medium Series were compared with “Other States Short-Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds.” The Intermediate Government Bond Series was compared

with “Intermediate U.S. Government Funds.” The Taxable Municipal Bond Series was compared with “General Bond Funds.” The “Lipper Leaders” report contained a Highest to Lowest rating system for Total Return, Consistent Return, Preservation, Tax Efficiency and Expense.
The Trustees reviewed the Morningstar®, Inc. Net and Gross Expense Ratios and Rankings and the Management Fees
The Trustees reviewed the several Morningstar®, Inc. reports based providing Total Return information for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods (where applicable) for “peer group” funds with the Morningstar®, Inc. “star” ratings.
Cost and Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the Dupree & Company, Inc. audited financial statement for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the unaudited financial statement for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. In addition the Trustees reviewed the several methods of description concerning the profitability of Dupree & Company in its capacity as Investment Adviser for each of the ten (10) Series, which description covered a review period of November 1, 2014 through July 31, 2016, being the first 21 months of the existing 2 year investment advisory agreements. The Trustees were advised that the presentation of profitability by Series was a new request for the Investment Adviser. The revenue-based methodology, which is the traditional methodology of the Adviser, allocated expenses based on the relative percentage of total advisory revenues generated by each separate Series (Tab G). The time and efforts approach to quantify profitability compelled several assumptions and subjective estimations because the Investment Adviser does not maintain its books and records on a Series by Series basis. In the time and efforts approach to quantify Dupree’s profitability, the Dupree revenues and costs and profits from furnishing services to each Series were allocated based on identifiable cost for each Series, and where costs were not Series specific, said costs were allocated according to the relative Net Assets Under Management of each Series.
The Trustees considered the Investment Advisory fees paid to Dupree, expressed in dollar terms and as a percentage of total advisory fee revenue. The Trustees considered and reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits derived by Dupree & Co. for services rendered in its capacity as Investment Adviser to each Series.
Fees Charged by Other Advisers
The Trustees considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar investment portfolios. The Trustees considered the expense ratios set forth in the 2016 Investment Company Fact Book and information provided through the Mutual Fund Directors Forum that addressed advisor profitability benchmarks. The Trustees discussed the advisory fees paid and to be paid in the future to Dupree for its advisory services to the several Series. In considering the advisory fees paid to Dupree, the fees were considered to be reasonable in relation to the reported maximum fees charged by comparable funds as set for the in the Morningstar®, Inc. report. The Trustees considered that the proposed advisory fees to be paid to Dupree for its services to each Series are comparable to the advisory fees charged to other similar portfolios.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the question of economies of scale which might inure to the benefit of shareholders. The Dupree booklet pointed to the advisory fee structure for the municipal bond Series that incorporates breakpoints as the net assets of each such Series increase in size. More specifically, as the net assets of a given municipal bond Series of the Trust increase in size, the management fee earned by Dupree decreases as a percentage of net assets. The advisory fee structure starts out as 0.50 of 1% for the first $100 million under management and progressively declines to a low of 0.25 of 1% once the net assets of a Series exceed $1 billion.
Fee Comparison with Other Clients
The only client served by Dupree is the Trust, so there are no applicable fee comparisons.
Other Benefits
In information provided by Dupree it stated that it derives no indirect benefits or other income attributable to management of the Trust, including, but limited to: 12b-1 fees, brokerage commissions, research or soft dollar arrangements. The sole benefit that

accrues to Dupree is an increase in total fees received as each Series increases in net asset size. The benefit to the shareholders (except for shareholders of the Intermediate Government Bond Series) is that Dupree’s fees decrease on a percentage basis as total net assets under management increase.

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, 2016” 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.
