ANNUAL REPORT
TO SHAREHOLDERS
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 45 years in business, Dupree Mutual Funds continues to be a leader in the no-load single-state municipal bond space. 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 and 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.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Dupree Mutual Funds is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”) 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 each of the eight state tax-free Funds is to invest exclusively in municipal securities issued by the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee, respectively. Normally, each Fund’s assets will be invested so that (1) at least 80% of the income earned on the investments will be exempt from Federal and state income taxes or (2) at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in securities exempt from Federal and state income taxes.
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, and its weighted average nominal maturity will normally range between 3-10 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, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
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 provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
A. | Security Valuation |
In general, securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value, as provided by independent third-party pricing agents. All other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Valuation Designee, Dupree & Company, Inc. (the “Valuation Designee”). The Valuation Designee is responsible for, among other things, monitoring the value of the Funds’ securities. These procedures involve the use of matrix pricing models which take into consideration, among other factors, years to maturity, call date, coupon rate, trading patterns, creditworthiness, supply and demand dynamics, trading characteristics, special circumstances of a security or trading market, and any other factors or market data considered relevant in determining the value for securities. The procedures also include weekly verification of market quotations provided by two independent pricing services. A bond valuation that is not supported by the matrix pricing model requires the Valuation Designee to fair value the security in accordance with Board approved policies and procedures (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, the Valuation
49
DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, continued |
Designee has the day-to-day responsibility for fair valuing the Trust’s securities or other assets. Securities valued by the Valuation Designee are reviewed by the Valuation Committee, which consists of all the Independent Trustees. 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 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 June 30, 2024, 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.
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 a Fund enters 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 is accrued by the Fund until the security is delivered and payment takes place. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
E. | Federal Income Taxes |
It is each Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of all or substantially all taxable and tax-exempt income to their shareholders. The Funds have met the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies for the year ended June 30, 2024. 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, 2024, 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 Statements 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.
Distributions are paid at the following frequencies:
Monthly: | Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series Intermediate Government Bond Series Taxable Municipal Bond Series | |
Quarterly: | Alabama Tax-Free Income Series Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series |
G. | Estimates |
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
H. | Subsequent Events |
Subsequent events occurring after June 30, 2024 have been evaluated by Dupree & Company, Inc. (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, the Adviser is responsible for the management of the Funds’ portfolios. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund (each a “Agreement” and collectively, the “Agreements”) each Fund (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 0.50 of 1% of the first $100,000,000 average daily net assets of each Fund determined separately; 0.45 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $100,000,001 and $150,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; 0.40 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $150,000,001 and $500,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; 0.35 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $500,000,001 and $750,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; and 0.30 of 1% of the average daily net assets between $750,000,001 and $1,000,000,000 of each Fund determined separately; and 0.25 of 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1,000,000,000 of each Fund determined separately. 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 0.20 of 1% of average daily net assets.
Dupree & Company, Inc., also serving as the Funds’ transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), may voluntarily waive investment advisory fees and transfer agent fees payable to it under the Investment Advisory Agreement and Transfer Agent Agreement with each Fund, and assume and pay other operating expenses. Dupree & Company, Inc. will not seek to recoup any waived fees or other operating expenses it has assumed.

political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. Each of these state-specific Funds is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of their respective states’ municipal securities than a fund that is not geographically concentrated in these issuers to the same extent.
Municipal Securities Risk
Many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities). As a result, conditions in those sectors may affect the overall municipal securities market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the supporting taxation or the inability to collect revenues for the specific project or specific assets. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal securities issuers than for issuers of other securities. Therefore, the investment performance of a Fund investing in municipal securities may be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser than if a Fund held other types of investments such as stocks or taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal securities also tends to be less liquid than many other securities markets. This is primarily the result of lower capital commitments to the asset class by the dealer community. This may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to sell or value municipal securities it holds. A Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations which differ from other municipal securities because the lease payments are subject to annual legislative appropriation. If the money is not appropriated, the lease can be cancelled without penalty and investors who own the lease obligations may not be paid.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
Many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities). As a result, conditions in those sectors may affect the overall municipal securities market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the supporting taxation or the inability to collect revenues for the specific project or specific assets. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal securities issuers than for issuers of other securities. Therefore, the investment performance of a Fund investing in municipal securities may be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser than if a Fund held other types of investments such as stocks or taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal securities also tends to be less liquid than many other securities markets. This is primarily the result of lower capital commitments to the asset class by the dealer community. This may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to sell or value municipal securities it holds. A Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations which differ from other municipal securities because the lease payments are subject to annual legislative appropriation. If the money is not appropriated, the lease can be cancelled without penalty and investors who own the lease obligations may not be paid.
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region, or financial market. Debt markets can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, terrorism and war (including Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine), governmental actions, and other conditions. As a result, the market value of municipal securities held by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as a result of market activity, interest rate fluctuations or as a result of supply and demand factors. When there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Conversely, when there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Municipal securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed basis, where payment and delivery take place at a future date. Since the market price of the security may fluctuate during the time before payment and delivery, a Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price. Due to these factors, the NAV of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate.

5. | Principal Risks, continued |
Taxability Risk
The Funds’ investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after a Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that the issuer has not complied with applicable tax requirements and a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable. This may result in a significant decline in the value of the security.
Non-Diversification Risk (Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series, Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series and Taxable Municipal Bond Series, only)
These Funds are non-diversified, and may invest a greater percentage of their assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in increased volatility in the Funds’ performance and share price.
Risks Associated with Health Crises
Health crises, such as the coronavirus (“COVID 19”) pandemic, can significantly stress the financial resources of municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations when due and may adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the Funds. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipal issuers may include an increase in expenses associated with combatting a pandemic and a decrease in revenues supporting the issuer’s bonds due to factors such as lower sales tax revenue as a result of decreased consumer spending, lower income tax revenue due to higher unemployment, and a decrease in the value of collateral backing revenue bonds due to closures and/or curtailment of services and/or changes in consumer behavior. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of a pandemic, as well as actions that could be taken by governmental authorities or other third parties, it is difficult to predict the level of financial stress and duration of such stress municipal issuers may experience. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength or changes in the credit rating assigned to an obligation may affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in that state.
Issuer Cybersecurity Risk
Municipalities issuing securities in which the Funds invest, counterparties with which the Funds engage or transact, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions may experience cybersecurity breaches. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses of other malicious software code; ransomware; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. These breaches may result in harmful disruptions to their operations and may negatively impact the financial condition for the municipal issuer, counterparty or other market participant. The Funds and their shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
Interest Rate Risk
Typically, as interest rates rise, the price of municipal bonds will fall; conversely, municipal bond prices will rise when interest rates fall. In general, portfolios with longer average maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. A low interest rate environment creates an elevated risk of future price declines, particularly for securities with longer maturities. You should expect a Fund’s share price and total return to fluctuate.

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 due to 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.

Under the terms of an agreement with the Funds’ custodian, U.S. Bank, National Association, principal amounts up to 5% of a Fund’s net assets are available on an uncommitted, unsecured line of credit. Each Fund is permitted to borrow money as a temporary measure in order to pay redeeming shareholders. The principal amounts borrowed are due on demand. The current agreement expires on September 18, 2024. 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. Each Fund has segregated securities in order to cover potential loans.
At June 30, 2024, the Funds had an aggregate unused line of credit amount of $25,000,000. The interest expense is shown on each Fund’s Statement of Operations within “Other expenses”. The Funds had no borrowings as of June 30, 2024. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the average interest rate on borrowings was 8.50% and the largest borrowing amount, the date of the largest borrowing, and the daily weighted average borrowings for each Fund were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Dupree Mutual Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Dupree Mutual Funds, comprising 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 (the “Funds”) as of June 30, 2024, 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, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as ofJune 30, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds’ Financial Highlights for the year ended June 30, 2020, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 26, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2021.
