ABOUT DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
In 1941, Dupree & Company, Inc. (the “Adviser”) began business in Harlan, Kentucky as a small securities brokerage firm specializing intax-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, the Adviser began what is now Dupree Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) with the KentuckyTax-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:
KentuckyTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series in 1987;
Intermediate Government Bond Series in 1992;
TennesseeTax-Free Income Series in 1993;
TennesseeTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series in 1994;
North CarolinaTax-Free Income Series in 1995;
North CarolinaTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series in 1995;
AlabamaTax-Free Income Series in 2000;
MississippiTax-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 orback-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.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance: | (Unaudited) |
Six Months Ended December 31, 2019
The investment objective for ourtax-exempt municipal bond funds is to provide a high level oftax-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 that may influence the performance of a state-specifictax-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 used to pay debt service on issued bonds are received by state and local governments. 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, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the economy continued to grow at a moderate pace. Real gross domestic product (“GDP”) increased at an annual rate of 2.1 percent in the third quarter which was up slightly from the 2.0 percent growth rate recorded in the second quarter. Real GDP increased at an annual rate of 2.1 percent (advance estimate) during the fourth quarter of 2019.
Labor market conditions remained strong during the Reporting Period. The seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate was 3.5 percent in December, which was close to a50-year low. Wage growth picked up some, but then declined towards the end of the Reporting Period with average hourly earnings increasing at a 2.9 percent annual rate in December. December marked the first reading below 3.0 percent for wage growth since July 2018. The labor participation rate, a measure of the proportion of theworking-age population that is employed or looking for a job, has remained relatively stable and stood at 63.2 percent in December.
Key measures of inflation continued to run at or below the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) 2.0 percent inflation target during the Reporting Period. The Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) increased at an annual rate of 2.3 percent in December. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy costs also increased at an annual rate of 2.3 percent in December. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core PCE, increased at an annual rate of 1.6 percent in December. Near-term and long-term inflation expectations have continued to be well anchored.
The Fed surprised the market and cut the fed funds target rate range by 0.25 percent at the end of July. The July interest rate cut was followed by two additionalone-quarter point cuts to the fed funds rate in September and October leaving the fed funds target rate range at1.50-1.75 percent at the end of the Reporting Period. Minutes from the Fed’s December meeting made clear that the Fed intends to keep the fed funds rate on hold for the foreseeable future.
Demand for safe-haven assets andtax-exempt income pushed bond yields lower and bond prices higher during the Reporting Period. Yields on benchmark10-yearAAA-rated municipal securities declined by approximately 0.19 percent during the Reporting Period, whereas yields on30-year benchmarkAAA-rated municipal securities declined by approximately 0.23 percent. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market remained relatively stable, and default rates of investment grade municipal bonds remained at very low levels.
The $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax (“SALT”) deduction that was enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) increased the tax burden for individuals that itemize deductions and has led to a surge in demand for municipal bonds. The increased demand has been reflected in large municipal bond mutual fund inflows which set records in 2019. At the same time that demand for municipal bonds increased, the net supply oftax-exempt bonds has continued to decline from peak levels seen in 2016 and 2017. Issuers have continued to be very efficient at calling higher-coupontax-exempt bonds. That, combined with the elimination oftax-exempt advance refundings under the TCJA, has significantly reduced the net supply oftax-exempt bonds. Tax reform, favorablesupply-and-demand technical factors, benign inflation, declining default rates, improving credit quality, and a favorable interest rate environment all contributed to the strong performance of the municipal bond market during the second half of 2019.
i
State and local government revenues have continued to show signs of improvement. According to data compiled by the National Association of State Budget Officer (“NASBO”), for a second consecutive year most states saw general fund revenue collections exceed original budget projections in fiscal 2019, ending the year with budget surpluses. State general fund spending grew 5.8 percent in fiscal 2019, the fastest annual growth rate since fiscal 2007. General fund spending is forecasted to grow 4.8 percent in fiscal 2020, totaling $913.2 billion according to enacted budgets.
State budgets are benefiting from a healthy economy and increased revenues generated by a number of new taxes imposed onout-of-state online retailers, sports betting, and marijuana. States collected $276.3 billion in total taxes in the first five months of FY 2020, which was up 6 percent over the same period last year according to data from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. Increased state general fund revenues have allowed many states to strengthen their rainy day reserve funds.
Unfunded pension and healthcare obligations and rising Medicaid expenditures still present significant budgetary challenges for a number of states. The Commonwealth of Kentucky’s unfunded pension obligations are among the worst in the country.
A discussion of the performance of each of our funds for the six month period ended December 31, 2019 follows:
During the Reporting Period, municipal bonds provided positive total returns with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (“Muni Index”) returning 2.32 percent. Taxable municipal bonds also provided positive total returns with the Bloomberg Barclays Taxable Municipal Bond Index (“Taxable Muni Index”) returning 2.40 percent. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index (“Intermediate Government Bond Index”) provided a positive total return of 1.19 percent.
Longer-dated bonds outperformed shorter-dated bonds during the Reporting Period. Additionally, lower-rated bonds generally outperformed higher-rated bonds.Pre-refunded bonds, which typically carryAAA-ratings and have short average durations, provided some of the lowest returns during the Reporting Period. The AlabamaTax-Free Income Series and the MississippiTax-Free Income Series held substantially morepre-refunded bonds than the Muni Index.
TheKentuckyTax-Free Income Series provided a total return of 2.00 percent during the Reporting Period and slightly underperformed the Muni Index. TheKentuckyTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series provided a total return of 1.23 percent. The KentuckyTax-Free Income Series and the KentuckyTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series both had shorter durations (4.58 years and 3.40 years, respectively) than the Muni Index (5.34 years), which led to their underperformance during the Reporting Period.
TheTennesseeTax-Free Income Series provided a total return of 1.76 percent during the Reporting Period. TheTennesseeTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series provided a total return of 1.18 percent. Both the TennesseeTax-Free Income Series and the TennesseeTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series had shorter durations (4.28 years and 3.82 years, respectively) than the Muni Index (5.34 years), which led to their underperformance during the Reporting Period.
TheNorth CarolinaTax-Free Income Series provided a total return of 1.78 percent during the Reporting Period. TheNorth CarolinaTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series provided a total return of 1.32 percent. Both the North CarolinaTax-Free Income Series and the North CarolinaTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series had shorter durations (5.01 years and 4.26 years, respectively) than the Muni Index (5.34 years), which led to their underperformance during the Reporting Period.
TheAlabamaTax-Free Income Series provided a total a total return of 2.23 percent during the Reporting Period. The AlabamaTax-Free Income Series had a shorter duration (4.39 years) than the Muni Index (5.34 years) and held substantially morepre-refunded bonds than the Muni Index (16.41 percent v. 5.59 percent, respectively), which led to its underperformance during the Reporting Period.
TheMississippiTax-Free Income Seriesprovided a total return of 1.59 percent during the Reporting Period. The MississippiTax-Free Income Series had a shorter duration (4.29 years) than the Muni Index (5.34 years) and held substantially morepre-refunded bonds than the Muni Index (31.56 percent v. 5.59 percent, respectively), which led to its underperformance during the Reporting Period.
TheIntermediate Government Bond Series provided a total return of 0.99 percent during the Reporting Period compared to 1.19 percent for the Intermediate Government Bond Index. The Intermediate Government Bond Series had a shorter duration (3.04 years) than the Intermediate Government Bond Index (3.77 years), which led to its slight underperformance during the Reporting Period.
TheTaxable Municipal Bond Series provided a total return of 1.65 percent during the Reporting Period compared with the Taxable Muni Index which provided a total return of 2.40%. The Taxable Municipal Bond Series had a significantly shorter duration (4.96 years) than the Taxable Municipal Bond Index (9.48 years), which led to its underperformance during the Reporting Period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
1. | | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Dupree Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as ano-load,open-end investment company. The Declaration of Trust of 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:
AlabamaTax-Free Income Series
KentuckyTax-Free Income Series
KentuckyTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series
MississippiTax-Free Income Series
North CarolinaTax-Free Income Series
North CarolinaTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series
TennesseeTax-Free Income Series
TennesseeTax-FreeShort-to-Medium Series
Intermediate Government Bond Series
Taxable Municipal Bond Series
The investment strategy of the eight statetax-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.
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 theday-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedure 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 ofopen-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest, if any, are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the underlying funds.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS | UNAUDITED |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
1. | | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, continued |
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 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, 2019, for the Funds’ investments is included at the end of the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments.
| 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. Premiums on certain callable securities held at a premium are amortized to the earliest call date.
| 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 andtax-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, 2019. 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, 2019, 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

The distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are caused primarily by differences due to the sales of market discount bonds or the timing of the recognition of certain components of realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Funds did not have any reclassifications of net assets.

The distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are caused primarily by differences due to the sales of market discount bonds or the timing of the recognition of certain components of realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes.
The Funds may record reclassifications in their capital accounts resulted due to permanent differences between accumulated earnings and aggregate paid in capital. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets. For the six months ended December 31, 2019, the Funds did not have any reclassifications of net assets.
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, 2020, 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.

Renewal of Advisory Agreements
In connection with a meeting held on October 22, 2019, 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 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 discussed the Adviser’s compliance program and its business continuity and disaster recovery plans. After considering the personnel involved in servicing each of 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 each Fund for the last 10 years, or since inception in the case of the Taxable Municipal Bond Series, comparing the performance to various indices, peer groups and Morningstar categories. The Board discussed the Adviser’s methodology to select the peer groups. The Board noted the Adviser’s explanation that performance of theshort-to-medium Funds tended to underperform the indexes and peer groups due to differences in credit quality and duration. The Board reviewed performance for each of the Funds overthe 1-Year, 5-Year and 10-Year and Since Inception (if applicable) periods, relative to applicable benchmarks and peer groups. The Board concluded that Fund performance was satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed the range of advisory fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser 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 to the Funds with each Fund’s peer group and the appropriate Morningstar category averages. The Board noted that the advisory fees for theKentucky 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 fee for the other Funds were equal to or 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 Board noted the Adviser’s explanation 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. The Board turned its attention to total operating expenses and observed that the average expense ratios for all Funds, after voluntary fee waivers and reimbursements, were lower than the average expense ratios of the peer groups and Morningstar categories. The Board observed that the voluntary fee waivers and expenses reimbursements would remain in place for an additionalone-year period. The Board reviewed the advisory fee breakpoints currently in place for all Funds. After considering the comparative data as described above, the Board concluded that the advisory fees and expense ratios were reasonable.
Economies of Scale and Profitability. 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 thesix-months ended June 30, 2019, a statement of income and expenses for thesix-months ending June 30, 2019 and a quarterly statement of income as of June 30, 2019. The Board reviewed the net profit margins realized on each Fund. The Board noted the Adviser’s explanation regarding the allocation of revenues and expenses, specifically noting that 100% of marketing expenses are allocated to the Adviser. The Board considered the methodology used by the Adviser in determining profitability.

Renewal of Advisory Agreements, continued
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 Board noted the Adviser’s explanation that the transfer agency fees earned by the Adviser 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 determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable, that the Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds and the benefits received by the Adviser, and that renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Funds.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing 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, 2019” 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.
