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 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 that typically carry sales charges.
At Dupree Mutual Funds, our goal is a simple one: to offer investors a high-quality, low-cost way to invest in municipal and government bonds while providing superior service to our shareholders. We encourage you to let us know how we’re doing.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance: | Unaudited |
Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2017i
The investment objective of our tax-free municipal bond funds is to provide a high level of tax-free income derived from state-specific municipal bonds without incurring undue risk to principal. The investment objective of our government bond fund is to provide a high level of taxable income derived from securities of the U.S. government and its agencies without incurring undue risk to principal. Similarly, the investment objective of the taxable municipal bond fund is to provide a high level of taxable income derived from taxable municipal securities without incurring undue risk to principal.
This report covers the twelve month period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 (the “reporting period”). Economic activity increased at a moderate pace during the reporting period. The third quarter of 2016 was the strongest quarter for the period under review with real gross domestic product (GDP) increasing at a 2.8 percent annual rate. The pace of economic growth then dropped off sharply with real GDP increasing in the fourth quarter of 2016 at a 1.8 percent annual rate. The slowdown in economic growth became more pronounced this year with real GDP increasing during the first quarter at only a 1.2 percent annual rate. The advanced estimate for real GDP for the second quarter of 2017 came in higher at a 2.6 percent annual rate.
The labor market continued to strengthen during the reporting period. The national unemployment rate was 4.4 percent in June which was slightly below the Federal Reserve’s median estimate for its longer-run normal level. The labor force participation rate stood at 62.8 percent in June which is still low by modern historical standards. Despite the broad-based strength in measures of employment, wage growth during the reporting period was modest with average hourly earnings increasing at a 2.5 percent annual rate in June.
Key measures of inflation remained subdued during the reporting period and actually trended lower during the first half of 2017. The Fed’s preferred inflation index, the core personal consumption expenditure price index (PCE), increased 1.5 percent on a year-over-year basis through June. The core consumer price index (CPI) increased 1.7 percent on an annual basis through June. At the end of the reporting period, all major inflation indices remained well below the 2 percent target rate set by the Federal Reserve. Measures of near-term and longer-run inflation expectations remained stable or declined over the past twelve months.
During the review period, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) continued to gradually reduce the amount of monetary policy accommodation. Beginning in December, the FOMC raised the federal funds target rate 25 basis points on three (3) separate occasions with the last rate increase taking place in June. The fed funds target rate stood 1.00-1.25 percent at the end of the reporting period. The Fed has continued to maintain that any future interest rate hikes will be gradual and dependent upon incoming economic data.
The Fed also released a formal balance sheet reduction plan at its June meeting. The plan calls for the Fed to gradually reduce its holdings by decreasing its reinvestment of the principal payments it receives from Treasury securities, agency debt, and mortgage-backed securities it currently holds. The start date of the balance sheet reduction plan was not specified, but most people believe it will commence later this year. The goal is to reduce the size of the Fed’s balance sheet over an extended period of time without causing any of the market disruptions that might occur if the Fed were to engage in outright sales of securities.
Slowing revenue growth, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and limited budget flexibility continue to present significant headwinds for many states and municipalities. Many states experienced revenue shortfalls in fiscal 2017 with twenty three states reporting net mid-year budget cuts totaling $4.9 billion (Source: National Association of State Budget Officers’ Fiscal Survey of States, Spring 2017). Many states were also forced to make budget adjustments at the end of the 2017 fiscal year to address revenue shortfalls. According to a survey by the National Association of State Budget Officers (NASBO) state budgets are expected to increase just 1.0 percent in fiscal 2018, the lowest nominal growth rate for general fund spending since fiscal 2010.
Medicaid spending by states has continued to rise as a percentage of total state spending and will present a challenge for many states. State spending on Medicaid is expected to continue to increase in the coming years as federal funding is decreased under the Affordable Care Act. NASBO estimates that median general fund expenditures for Medicaid will grow by 5.2 percent in fiscal year 2017.
Returns in the municipal bond market were negative for the twelve month period under review. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (“BBMBI”), which tracks investment grade municipal securities across all sectors and maturities, had a total return of -0.49 percent for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the BBMBI had a modified adjusted duration of 6.30 years, an average coupon of 4.75 percent, and an average credit quality of AA2/AA3.
i
The performance of municipal bonds during the reporting period was a tale of two halves. After the municipal bond market posted a solid performance during the first half of 2016, market sentiment in the municipal bond market soured during the second half of 2016. A steady flow of positive U.S. economic data and a growing consensus that the Fed would likely increase short-term interest rates led to a significant backup in yields and a corresponding drop in bond prices. Bond prices dropped sharply after the election of Donald Trump as the market feared that a Trump administration’s pro-growth policy agenda would likely lead to faster economic growth, larger budget deficits, higher levels of inflation, and lower taxes.
Performance of the municipal bond market during the first half of 2017 was a completely different story as municipal bonds performed strongly during both the first and second quarters of 2017. The positive performance was attributable to a number of factors including favorable supply and demand trends (i.e., lower supply and strong demand). Net issuance of municipal bonds for the first half of 2017 was 14.1 percent less than net issuance for the same period of 2016, and pure refunding issuance also dropped by 42.7 percent. While the supply of municipal bonds was lower, demand for municipal bonds was very robust during the first half of 2017. The favorable supply/demand trends helped support municipal bond prices. Mutual funds and banks were the biggest purchasers of municipal bonds.
The biggest driver of performance during the first half of 2017 was a significant change in market sentiment. As previously mentioned, bonds quickly sold off after the election of Donald Trump on fears that a new Trump administration would lead to reflationary fiscal policies that generally do not favor fixed-income investments. Over the course of the first two quarters of 2017, it grew more apparent that the new administration would have a very difficult time advancing its proposed economic agenda. The municipal bond market rallied in response to this “gridlock” with municipal prices increasing and yields falling. Essentially, the first half of 2017 witnessed an unwinding of the “Trump trade” (i.e., bond prices up and yields down) that led to the dramatic selloff in December.
The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders a total return of -0.70 percent for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of -0.44 percent during the period under review. A large percentage of the holdings in the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series are state appropriation-backed bonds. Appropriation-backed debt generally underperformed other sectors of the municipal bond market during the reporting period. Additionally, Kentucky’s unfunded pension obligations continued to negatively impact the prices of Kentucky’s appropriation backed bonds.
The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series performed in line with the index during the reporting period.
Kentucky’s economy has continued to expand at a moderate pace. The state’s General Fund receipts have continued their upward trend and have risen for seven consecutive years. The state reported that final FY17 General Fund revenues were $138.5 million, or 1.3 percent, less than the official revenue estimate. The budget shortfall was closed by relying on a combination of spending cuts and one-time transfers from restricted funds. The state’s annual average unemployment rate declined during the reporting period and stood at 5.1 percent at the end of June. In 2016, Kentucky had a per capita personal income of $39,499 which was well below the national average of $49,571.
Kentucky’s appropriation supported debt was rated Aa3 by Moody’s and A by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2017. Kentucky had net tax-supported debt per capita of $2,057 as of calendar year-end 2016, which was substantially above the state net tax-supported debt median of $1,006 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Medians-Total State Debt Remains Essentially Flat in 2017, May 3, 2017).
The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of -1.03 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series had a total return of -0.54 percent for the period under review. A-rated municipal bonds were the best performing bonds on the credit quality spectrum during the reporting period. The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series held a smaller percentage of A-rated bonds than the index (10.64% versus 24.11% as of June 30) which led to its relative underperformance during the reporting period. Additionally, the Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series had a significantly longer nominal maturity than the index (15.56 years versus 12.91 as of June 30) which caused it to underperform the index during the reporting period. Generally, longer dated bonds performed worse than shorter dated bonds during the review period.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series performed in line with the index during the reporting period.
Economic growth in Tennessee slightly outpaced that of the U.S. in 2016. Real GDP grew in Tennessee by 2.0 percent in 2016, with the largest contributor to real GDP growth coming from the finance, insurance, real estate, rental, and leasing industry. The state has continued to diversify its manufacturing base by adding high-tech employers, and automobile manufacturing continues to be an important part of the state’s economy. The state’s annual average unemployment rate at the end of June was 3.6 percent. In 2016, the state had a per capita personal income of $43,380 which was below the national average of $49,571.
ii
Tennessee relies on a combination of a state sales tax, corporate income taxes, franchise and excise taxes, and the Hall income tax for its revenue. Total state revenue collections through June (on an accrual basis June is the eleventh month in Tennessee’s 2016-2017 fiscal year) were $789.6 million more than budgeted estimates.
Tennessee’s general obligation (G.O.) bonds were rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2017. Tennessee had net tax-supported debt per capita of $322 as of calendar year-end 2016, which was substantially below the state net tax-supported debt median of $1,006 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Medians-Total State Debt Remains Essentially Flat in 2017, May 3, 2017).
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of -1.68 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of -0.33 percent for the period under review.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series had a significantly longer nominal maturity than the index (15.88 years versus 12.91 as of June 30) which caused it to underperform the index during the reporting period. Generally, longer dated bonds performed worse than shorter dated bonds during the review period. Additionally, the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series held a smaller percentage of A-rated bonds (13.34% versus 24.11% as of June 30) than the index which also led to its relative underperformance.
The slightly shorter duration of the North Carolina Short-to-Medium Series (the fund had a modified adjusted duration of 3.59 years as of June 30) caused it to slightly outperform the index during the reporting period.
North Carolina’s economy has continued its strong rebound from the national recession. North Carolina was forecast to finish FY 2016-17 with a budget surplus of $552.5 million. The anticipated revenue surplus resulted from stronger-than-expected wage growth that led to an increase in individual income tax and sales tax collections. The state’s average annual unemployment rate at the end of June was 4.2 percent. In 2016, North Carolina had a per capita personal income of $42,002 which was below the national average of $49,571.
North Carolina’s general obligation (G.O.) bonds were rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2017. North Carolina had net tax-supported debt per capita of $659 as of calendar year-end 2016, which was below the state net tax-supported debt median of $1,006 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Medians-Total State Debt Remains Essentially Flat in 2017, May 3, 2017).
The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series provided shareholders with a total return of -0.82 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017. The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series had a significantly longer nominal maturity than the index (16.64 years versus 12.91 years as of June 30) which caused it to underperform the index. Generally, longer dated bonds performed worse than shorter dated bonds during the review period.
Additionally, the Alabama Tax-Free Income Series held a smaller percentage of A-rated bonds than the index (5.66% versus 24.11% as of June 30) which also led to its relative underperformance.
Economic growth in Alabama continues to be modest, albeit steady, with real GDP growing by 1.3 percent in 2016. Automotive manufacturing, aerospace, tourism, healthcare, biotechnology, and manufacturing are anticipated to be Alabama’s major economic drivers in 2017. Alabama’s overall state revenue and employment are also slowly improving, with revenues increasing 1.2 percent in FY2016 and employment growing at 1.0 percent during this period. The state’s average annual unemployment rate at the end of June stood at 4.6 percent. In 2016, Alabama had a per capita personal income of $39,231 which was below the national average of $49,571.
Alabama’s G.O. bonds were rated Aa1 by Moody’s and AA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2017. Alabama had net tax-supported debt per capita of $1,019 as of calendar year-end 2016, which was just higher than the state net tax-supported debt median of $1,006 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Medians-Total State Debt Remains Essentially Flat in 2017, May 3, 2017).
The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series had a total return of -0.48 percent for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017. The fund performed in line with the index during the reporting period.
Mississippi’s economic recovery has continued to lag behind the nation. Mississippi’s real GDP rose by a modest 0.8 percent in 2016. State revenue has likewise seen little or no growth as sales tax and individual income tax revenues were below projections. Current fiscal year revenue shortfalls have been addressed by both budget cuts and transfers to the general fund from the working cash stabilization fund. Mississippi’s employment indicators also lacked clear direction in 2016 with an overall small gain in jobs and slight decrease in unemployment. The state’s average annual unemployment rate at the end of June was 5.0 percent. In 2016, Mississippi had a per capita personal income of $35,936 which was the lowest in the nation.
iii
The state’s G.O. bonds were rated Aa2 by Moody’s and AA by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2017. Mississippi has net tax-supported debt per capita of $1,847 as of calendar year-end 2016, which was higher than the state net tax-supported debt median of $1,006 (Source: Moody’s Investors Services, Medians-Total State Debt Remains Essentially Flat in 2017, May 3, 2017).
The Intermediate Government Bond Series had a total return of -1.99 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index had a total return of -1.25 percent for the one year period ended June 30, 2017. The longer duration of the fund (4.59 years as of June 30 compared to 3.81 for the index) led to the relative underperformance of the fund during the reporting period.
The Taxable Municipal Bond Series had a total return of 0.78 percent for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017. The Bloomberg Barclays Taxable Municipal Index had a total return of -0.60 percent for the same period. The shorter duration of the fund (4.77 years as of June 30 compared to 9.29 for the index) led to the relative outperformance of the fund during the reporting period.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON (Unaudited)
The following graphs compare the change in value of a $10,000 investment in each series of Dupree Mutual Funds with the change in value of a $10,000 investment in a comparable index. The comparisons are made over 10 years or since the inception of the series, if shorter than ten years. Results are for the fiscal years ended June 30.
Notes on Graphs:
Results reflect reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. No index can perfectly match the investments that make up a fund’s portfolio. For each series, we have selected an index that we believe gives the most accurate picture of how the series performed during the reporting period. The investor should understand that an index is a mathematical hypothesis and does not reflect a real market situation. For example, the portfolio of each index is replaced with an entirely different portfolio each year without reflecting operating expenses or transaction costs, an impossibility in reality. On the other hand, the fund’s performance reflects not only these factors but management costs as well. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The performance tables and the graphs above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
Please note that on August 24, 2016, Bloomberg LP completed its acquisition of Barclays Risk Analytics and Index Solutions Limited from Barclays Bank PLC and co-branded the indices as the Bloomberg Barclays Indices.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
| 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.
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 (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.
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 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 FASB 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
52
DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
| 1. | | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, continued |
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 June 30, 2017, 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 June 30, 2017.
| | 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.
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.
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, 2017. 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 June 30, 2017, 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).
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. GAAP.

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.
Subsequent events occurring after June 30, 2017 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.

| 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. 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, 2017, 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.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Dupree Mutual Funds (comprising 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, Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, Intermediate Government Bond Series, and Taxable Municipal Bond Series) (collectively, the “Funds”) as of June 30, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective funds constituting Dupree Mutual Funds at June 30, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur transaction costs including investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017” 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.
