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.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2017
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. 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, the performance of a government bond fund may be influenced by a number of factors 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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the pace of economic activity picked up. Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.2 percent in the third quarter. Real GDP increased at a 2.6 percent (advance estimate) annual rate in the fourth quarter of the year. Economic growth has been driven by consumer spending which has been supported by substantial gains in household income and wealth.
The labor market continued to firm up during the reporting period. The seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate was 4.1 percent in December. The labor market is now close to or at a full employment level. Both the labor force participation rate and employment-to-population ratio remain at levels lower than they were a decade ago. Wage growth has continued to be relatively subdued with average hourly earnings increasing at a 2.7 percent annual rate in December.
Most key measures of inflation continued to run below the Federal Reserve Board’s (“Fed”) 2 percent inflation target during the reporting period. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased at an annual rate of 2.1 percent in December. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in December. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (“PCE”), increased by 0.2 percent on a year-over-year basis in December. Despite a firmer labor market, inflation readings have continued to be persistently low which has caused a number of Fed Governors to question whether additional interest rate hikes are warranted.
The Fed increased the federal funds target rate range once during the reporting period by 25 basis points in December to 1.25 to 1.50 percent. In its policy statement issued in December, the Fed reiterated that “it expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant gradual increases in the federal funds rate” and that “the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run.”
In October, the Fed implemented its balance sheet normalization program. Under this program, the Fed will gradually reduce its securities holdings by decreasing its reinvestment of the principal payments it receives from securities held on its balance sheet. The goal of the program is to gradually reduce the quantity of reserve balances to a more normal level, albeit to a level that will likely remain elevated above historical levels.
The yield curve continued to flatten throughout the reporting period with yields on the short end moving sharply higher and yields on the long end moving lower. The spread between 2-year and 10-year Treasuries narrowed to 53 basis points at the end of the review period. Yields on benchmark 10-year and 30-year AAA rated municipal securities declined by 1 basis and 25 basis points, respectively, during the reporting period. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market remained relatively stable during the reporting period, and default rates of investment grade municipal bonds remained at very low levels.
Starting in November, municipal bond prices broadly declined as tax reform uncertainty took hold. The proposed elimination of the tax exemption for advanced refunding bonds and private activity bonds caused issuers to rush to bring to market bonds that were scheduled to be issued in 2018. This “pull forward” effect resulted in a huge surge in supply, with issuers bringing to market a record breaking $55.6 billion in new bonds. The resulting supply-and-demand imbalance caused municipal bond prices to decline towards the end of the reporting period.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law in late December. Under the Tax Act, individual and corporate tax rates were reduced. It is widely anticipated that the recently enacted corporate tax rate reductions will lead to increased capital investment and economic activity. Accelerating economic growth, combined with robust equity market appreciation, create an opportunity for states to potentially receive a tax (income and capital gains) revenue windfall in 2018.

Preliminary data collected by the Rockefeller Institute of Government (“RIG”) for the third quarter of 2017 showed stronger growth in overall state tax collections, as well as in personal income and sales tax collections. RIG estimates that total tax collections increased by 4.5 percent in the third quarter compared to the same quarter in 2016. Personal income tax collections grew 4.5 percent, sales tax collections increased 2.7 percent, and corporate income tax collections increased 7.4 percent.
Unfunded pension and healthcare obligations still present significant challenges for a number of states. The Commonwealth of Kentucky’s unfunded pension obligations are among the worst in the country. Increased state Medicaid spending also continues to be a source of budget pressure for many states.
A discussion of the performance of each of our funds for the six month period ended December 31, 2017 follows:
During the reporting period, municipal bonds provided positive total returns with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (“BBMBI”) returning 1.82 percent. Taxable municipal bonds also provided positive total returns with the Bloomberg Barclays Taxable Municipal Bond Index (“BBTMBI”) returning 3.71 percent during the reporting period. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index (“BBIGBI”) had a slightly negative total return of -0.06 percent during the reporting period.
All five of our tax-exempt Income Series performed roughly in line with the BBMBI during the reporting period, especially when taking into consideration that the index does not take into account any operating expenses or transaction costs. All three of our tax-exempt Short-to-Medium Series underperformed the index during the reporting period. Longer-dated, lower-rated bonds generally performed better than shorter-dated, higher-rated bonds during the reporting period. The duration of each of the Short-to-Medium Series (Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, 3.96 years; Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, 2.69 years; and North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, 3.80 years) were significantly shorter than the duration of the BBMBI (5.63 years).
The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series provided a total return of 1.52 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided a total return of -0.07 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI.
The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series provided a total return of 1.64 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided a total return of 0.06 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI.
The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series provided a total return of 2.23 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided a total return of 0.22 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI.
The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series provided a total a total return of 1.74 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI.
The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series provided a total return of 1.78 percent during the reporting period compared to 1.82 percent for the BBMBI.
The Intermediate Government Bond Series provided a total return of 0.09 percent during the reporting period compared to -0.06 percent for the BBIGBI. The fund slightly outperformed the index during the reporting period.
The Taxable Municipal Bond Series provided a total return of 2.29 percent during the reporting period compared to 3.70 percent for the BBTMBI. Longer-dated, lower-rated bonds generally performed better than shorter-dated, higher-rated bonds during the review period. The duration of the Taxable Municipal Bond Series was 4.60 years compared to 9.14 years for the BBTMBI.
It should be noted that the Bloomberg Barclays indices do not take into account any operating expenses or transaction costs. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 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.
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 (the “Board”). 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. The Board has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Trust’s investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, the Valuation Committee, consisting of all of the Trustees, has 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
51

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS | UNAUDITED |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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 Funds’ 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, 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 six months ended December 31, 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.
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 six months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 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).
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. GAAP.

H. | Subsequent Events |
Subsequent events occurring after December 31, 2017 have been evaluated by the Funds’ adviser for potential impact to this report through the date the financial statements were issued.

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, 2018, 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, 2017, the Funds had an aggregate unused line of credit amount of $25,000,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the average interest rate on borrowings was 4.27% and the daily weighted average borrowings for each Fund with borrowings were as follows:

Trustee and officer information, continued
As of December 31, 2017, none of the Trustees or members of their immediate family held any beneficial interest in the Trust’s Investment Adviser. Further, the Trust does not have an underwriter.
The Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) includes additional information about Trustees and officers and is available upon request without charge. Please call (800) 866-0614 to request the SAI.
Proxy Voting Information
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how the Funds voted those proxies during the most recent twelve months ended June 30, 2017, is available without charge upon request by calling (800) 866-0614, or on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Funds exercised no proxy votes due to the fact that the debt instruments in which the Funds invest carry no voting rights.

The complete listing (i) is available on the commission’s website and (ii) will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling (800) 866-0614. Information on the operation of the SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (previously referred to as “SEC Public Reference Room”) may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
Renewal of Advisory Agreements:
In connection with a meeting held on August 23, 2017, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of the investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between Dupree & Co. (the “Adviser”) and the Trust with respect to each of the Funds. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board received materials specifically relating to each Fund and its respective Advisory Agreement.
The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board’s conclusions were based on an evaluation of all the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreements.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s experience and the capabilities of its personnel. The Board reviewed personnel changes at the Adviser. The Adviser discussed its compliance program and its business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Taking into account the personnel involved in servicing the Funds, as well as the materials and services described above, the Board expressed satisfaction with the quality of the services received from the Adviser.
Performance. The Board reviewed the performance of the Funds for the last 10 years, comparing the performance to various indices, peer groups and Morningstar categories. The Board and the Adviser discussed the methodology used to select the peer groups. The Board noted that each of the Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series and Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series outperformed its benchmark index, peer group and Morningstar category for the 1-Year, 5-Years and 10-Years periods. The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series and the North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series each outperformed its benchmark index, peer group and Morningstar category for all periods other than the 1-Year and 5–Years periods, respectively. Likewise, the Board noted that the Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series outperformed its benchmark index, peer group and Morningstar category for the 10-Years period, while the Intermediate Government Bond Series outperformed its benchmark index, peer group and Morningstar category for the 5–Years and 10-Years periods. The Adviser said that the Taxable Municipal Bond Series underperformed its peer group for the 1-Year period and its benchmark index and peer group for the 5-Years period, but outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-Year period and its Morningstar category for all periods. The Adviser stated that the North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series and Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series underperformed their benchmark, the Bloomberg

Renewal of Advisory Agreements, continued
Barclays Municipal Bond Index, primarily because the modified adjusted duration of each Fund is significantly shorter than the index. The Adviser said that the Taxable Municipal Bond Series and the Intermediate Government Bond Series performed in line with expectations. The Board concluded that Fund performance was satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed the range of advisory fees paid by the Funds to Dupree and the total operating expenses of each Fund. The Board turned its attention to materials previously provided by the Adviser that compared the investment advisory fees assessed the Funds with each Fund’s peer group and the appropriate Morningstar category averages. The Board noted that the advisory fees for the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series and the Intermediate Government Bond Series were below the peer group and Morningstar category averages. The Board also noted that the advisory fees for the other Funds were higher than the peer group and Morningstar category averages, but were within the range of fees charged by the peer groups and Morningstar category. The Adviser stated that the slightly higher fees were due to the smaller size of the Funds as compared to the size of the funds comprising the peer group and Morningstar categories. Turning to total operating expenses, the Board observed that the average expense ratios for 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 and Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series were equal to or lower than the average expense ratios of the peer group and Morningstar category averages. The expense ratios of the North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, and Taxable Municipal Bond Series were within 0.01%-0.04% of the peer group and Morningstar category averages and within the range of net expenses. The expense ratio of the Intermediate Government Bond Series was within 0.01% of the peer group average and lower than the Morningstar category average. After considering the comparative data as described above, the Board concluded that the advisory fees and expense ratios were reasonable.
Economies of Scale. In reviewing the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s unaudited income statement and balance sheet for the seven-months ending July 31, 2017, as well as the net profit margins realized on each Fund. The Adviser discussed the allocation of revenues and expenses, noting 75% of its revenues were related to its advisory work (the remaining 25% is transfer agent related). The Board noted that the existing Advisory Agreements provided for breakpoints at specified asset levels.
Profitability. Finally, the Board discussed the transfer agency fees earned by the Adviser for services provided to the Funds pursuant to the Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent Services Agreement. The Adviser stated that the transfer agency fees it earned reflected its service to the Funds’ direct shareholders and the coordination of trading and settlement issues for all shareholders. The Board discussed the level and quality of services provided to shareholders by the Adviser. The Board also discussed the net profit margins realized by the Adviser on each Fund under the Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent Services Agreement. After further discussion, the Board concluded the level of profit realized by the Adviser in connection with its advisory services provided to the Funds was not excessive.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreements, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structure was reasonable and that renewal of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds.

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, 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.
