 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.
 SHAREHOLDERS' LETTER

     Dear Shareholders,

     The year 2004 was financially positive for investors in our funds.
     Such an occurrence brings to mind this P.T. Barnum quote: "look around
     you with pleasure, look upwards with gratitude." We are appreciative
     of the capital entrusted to us, and we will endeavor to make your
     future investment experience a pleasant one. Our investor base has
     been a constant source of goodwill, and for that we are truly
     thankful.

     Unlike most things in life, problems in finance occur when most people
     are in positive agreement, since agreement in finance changes the rate
     at which future cash flows are discounted. To paraphrase Franklin
     Roosevelt: The only thing to fear is the lack of fear itself. The
     earnings of a company about which there is no disagreement are
     discounted at a very low rate. Conversely, the earnings of a company
     about which there is much disagreement are discounted at a very high
     rate. That is why, as stated in the past letters, we believe the best
     opportunities in financial assets occur when one maintains a position
     that is out of favor with the general investment community.

     Our success or failure in an investment will ultimately be determined
     by our assessment of that company's underlying business operations. We
     regard ourselves as business analysts, rather than stock analysts. A
     concentrated focus on the businesses themselves presents a much
     clearer understanding of how a given investment will fare over time.
     For example, owners of private enterprises do not need a publicly-
     traded stock to know that the companies they own are enriching them. A
     quoted stock price should be used to determine whether the outside
     investment community is doing something intelligent or foolish, so as
     to act accordingly.

     OUTLOOK 2005

     As bottom-up stock pickers, we have no opinion regarding the direction
     of the stock market in 2005. We do, however, have two principal
     concerns that could make 2005 an unrewarding experience for the common
     investor. First, as of today, the financial services sector accounts
     for approximately 30% of the S&P 500's(1) profits, excluding such
     companies as General Electric, Ford and General Motors, etc., which
     have substantial exposure to financial

                                        2


     products. Historically, the financial services sector has accounted
     for approximately 7% of the S&P 500's profits. The reason for this
     over fourfold increase has been largely the result of what is
     generally known as the "carry trade", where companies borrow short
     term and lend longer term. Real interest rates for short-term
     borrowers have been negative. Such an environment encourages leverage
     and speculation. More recently, as short-term rates have risen, and
     the yield curve has flattened, the profitability of this carry trade
     has declined. The response by many financial services companies has
     been to use additional leverage to maintain earnings growth. Should
     this trade reverse itself, which seems inevitable, many companies'
     earnings will decline precipitously. The 2005 Price to Earnings Ratio
     (P/E)(2) multiple for the S&P 500 Index is considered reasonable
     because many financial companies trade at 11 or 12 times earnings.
     Excluding financial services companies, the market is trading at very
     high valuation levels. Cyclical companies, such as Caterpillar, are
     trading at 17 or 18 times peak earnings. More growth-oriented
     companies are trading at forward P/E multiples in the 20s.

     Our second concern is with the generally optimistic consensus forecast
     for 2005 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 3.5%. Based on readily
     available data, such as those found in "Barron's Market Week Section",
     it seems difficult to believe that the consensus will be achieved. The
     general argument for this growth is as follows: since the Federal
     government is not in a position to stimulate, because of the existing
     large deficits, and since the Federal Reserve is tightening, GDP
     growth will be fueled by job creation. Economists are forecasting the
     creation of approximately 4 million new jobs in 2005, or between
     330,000 and 340,000 new jobs monthly, which will account for something
     on the order of 2.5% to 3% of GDP growth. Productivity gains will
     account for the balance, so as to achieve the consensus number of
     3.5%.

     Facts: the total U.S. labor force is 148.3 million, of which 140
     million are employed and 8 million are unemployed; the current
     unemployment rate is 5.4%. If the labor force were to grow at the same
     rate as the general population (.9%), then

                                        3


     1,332,000 new entrants, or 111,000 entrants per month, would be
     available to fill the expected 4 million new jobs that economists are
     expecting to be created during 2005, meaning that approximately
     220,000 monthly jobs (330,000-111,000) would have to be filled from
     the ranks of the unemployed. Should job creation be able to maintain
     this pace, in 34 months the U.S. would experience zero unemployment, a
     highly unrealistic scenario. More likely, job creation will match
     population growth, and productivity gains will result in GDP growth
     substantially below consensus estimates. 2% GDP growth is more
     compatible with a corporate earnings growth rate of approximately 5%,
     which implies a lackluster environment for the typical stock, should
     valuations be maintained.

     We at Kinetics are cognizant of the environment in which we operate
     and continue to strive to find investments that might do well in a
     richly-priced investment environment. We believe this focus can
     benefit our shareholders and should continue to distinguish us
     favorably both from our peers and from commonly used benchmarks, such
     as the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ Composite Index(3).

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.
 YEAR 2004 ANNUAL MARKET COMMENTARY

     Dear Fellow Shareholders,

     We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds annual report for
     the period ended December 31, 2004. On balance, the Kinetics Family of
     Mutual Funds had a prosperous 2004, with gains of 20.84% for the
     Paradigm Fund, 16.40% for the Small Cap Opportunities Fund, 10.06% for
     the Internet Fund, 7.67% for the Internet Emerging Growth Fund, and
     6.96% for the Medical Fund. This compares with the 2004 total returns,
     assuming dividends reinvested in the index, of 10.88% for the S&P 500
     Index and 8.59% for the NASDAQ Composite Index, assuming no dividends
     were reinvested.

     We continue to inform our shareholders through our website,
     www.kineticsfunds.com. This website provides a broad array of
     information, including recent portfolio holdings, quarterly investment
     commentaries, newsflashes, recent performance data, and online access
     to account information.

     Kinetics offers the following funds to investors:

     THE INTERNET FUND is a sector fund that focuses on companies engaged
     in the evolution of Internet-related technology. As a sector fund with
     a focus on Internet/technology, this Fund has been, and is likely to
     continue to be, quite volatile. The Internet Fund is not designed to
     be a major component of one's equity exposure. We view this Fund's
     holdings as publicly traded venture capital and are quite aware that
     many of these investments will not fulfill their early promise.
     However, we expect that over time some small percentage will develop
     into excellent investments, allowing the Fund to produce overall
     satisfactory, albeit lumpy, investment results.

     THE INTERNET EMERGING GROWTH FUND focuses upon early life cycle
     companies that are positioned on the edge of the curve in the
     evolution on Internet-related technology. The statements made about
     the Internet Fund are equally applicable to this Fund.

     THE PARADIGM FUND focuses on companies that currently have, or which
     should soon have, sustainable high returns on equity. The

                                        5


     Fund has produced attractive returns over the last five years in what
     may be described as a very difficult period for equity investors. The
     Paradigm Fund is Kinetics' most conservative Fund.

     THE MEDICAL FUND is a sector fund, offering an investment in
     scientific discovery within what we believe is a promising field of
     medical research, particularly in the development of cancer treatments
     and therapies. As a sector fund, The Medical Fund is likely to have
     heightened volatility.

     THE SMALL CAP OPPORTUNITIES FUND focuses on undervalued and special
     situation small capitalization equities that have the potential for
     rewarding long-term investment results.

     THE KINETICS GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND is a short-term investment
     vehicle that helps to round out our equity product offerings.

     DISCLOSURE
     THIS MATERIAL IS INTENDED TO BE REVIEWED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A CURRENT
     PROSPECTUS, WHICH INCLUDES ALL FEES AND EXPENSES THAT APPLY TO A
     CONTINUED INVESTMENT PROGRAM, AS WELL AS INFORMATION REGARDING THE
     RISK FACTORS, POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE FUNDS. READ IT CAREFULLY
     BEFORE INVESTING.

     MUTUAL FUND INVESTING INVOLVES RISK.  PRINCIPAL LOSS IS POSSIBLE.
     BECAUSE THE FUNDS [OTHER THAN THE PARADIGM FUND, THE SMALL CAP
     OPPORTUNITIES FUND AND THE KINETICS GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND]
     INVEST IN A SINGLE INDUSTRY OR GEOGRAPHIC REGION, THEIR SHARES ARE
     SUBJECT TO A HIGHER DEGREE OF RISK THAN FUNDS WITH A HIGHER LEVEL OF
     DIVERSIFICATION. INTERNET AND BIOTECHNOLOGY STOCKS ARE SUBJECT TO A
     RATE OF CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY, OBSOLESCENCE AND COMPETITION THAT IS
     GENERALLY HIGHER THAN THAT OF OTHER INDUSTRIES AND HAVE EXPERIENCED
     EXTREME PRICE AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO
     GUARANTEE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

     BECAUSE SMALLER COMPANIES [FOR THE INTERNET EMERGING GROWTH FUND AND
     THE SMALL CAP OPPORTUNITIES FUND] OFTEN HAVE NARROWER MARKETS AND
     LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES, THEY PRESENT MORE RISK THAN LARGER, MORE
     WELL ESTABLISHED, COMPANIES.

     AS NON-DIVERSIFIED [OTHER THAN THE KINETICS GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET
     FUND] AND SINGLE INDUSTRY FUNDS, THE VALUE OF THEIR SHARES MAY
     FLUCTUATE MORE THAN SHARES INVESTED IN A BROADER RANGE OF INDUSTRIES
     AND COMPANIES.

     AN INVESTMENT IN THE KINETICS GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND IS NEITHER
     INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR
     ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. ALTHOUGH THE FUND SEEKS TO PRESERVE THE
     VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT AT $1.00 PER SHARE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE
     MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE FUND.

     UNLIKE OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES THAT DIRECTLY ACQUIRE AND MANAGE
     THEIR OWN PORTFOLIOS OF SECURITIES, THE KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS PURSUE
     THEIR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES BY INVESTING ALL OF THEIR INVESTABLE
     ASSETS IN A CORRESPONDING PORTFOLIO SERIES OF KINETICS PORTFOLIOS
     TRUST.

     THE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FUNDS INCLUDED IN THE SHAREHOLDER
     REPORT CONTAINS CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ABOUT

                                        7


     THE FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS IN THE
     FUTURE. THESE STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON FUND MANAGEMENT'S PREDICTIONS
     AND EXPECTATIONS CONCERNING CERTAIN FUTURE EVENTS AND THEIR EXPECTED
     IMPACT ON THE FUNDS, SUCH AS PERFORMANCE OF THE ECONOMY AS A WHOLE AND
     OF SPECIFIC INDUSTRY SECTORS, CHANGES IN THE LEVELS OF INTEREST RATES,
     THE IMPACT OF DEVELOPING WORLD EVENTS, AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY
     INFLUENCE THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES
     THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO BE REASONABLE, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE
     INHERENTLY UNCERTAIN AND DIFFICULT TO PREDICT. ACTUAL EVENTS MAY CAUSE
     ADJUSTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FROM THOSE CURRENTLY
     EXPECTED TO BE EMPLOYED.

   HOW A $10,000 INVESTMENT HAS GROWN:

   The charts show the growth of a $10,000 investment in the Funds as
   compared to the performance of two representative market indices. The
   tables below the charts show the average annual total returns on an
   investment over various periods. Returns for periods greater than one year
   are average annual total returns. The annual returns assume the
   reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, however, tax
   considerations are not taken into account. Past performance is not
   predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value
   will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
   less than their original costs.

   S&P 500 INDEX -- The S&P 500 Index is a capital-weighted index,
   representing the aggregate market value of the common equity of 500 stocks
   primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The S&P 500 is unmanaged
   and includes the reinvestment of dividends and does not reflect the
   payments of transaction costs and advisory fees associated with an
   investment in the Funds. The securities that comprise the S&P 500 may
   differ substantially from the securities in the Funds' portfolios. It is
   not possible to directly invest in an index.

   NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX -- The NASDAQ Composite Index is a broad-based
   capitalization-weighted index of all NASDAQ stocks. The NASDAQ Composite
   is unmanaged and does not include the reinvestment of dividends and does
   not reflect the payment of transaction costs or advisory fees associated
   with an investment in the Funds. The securities that comprise the NASDAQ
   Composite may differ substantially from the securities in the Funds'
   portfolios. It is not possible to directly invest in an index.

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. -- FEEDER FUNDS
 EXPENSE EXAMPLE
 December 31, 2004

Shareholders incur two type of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales
charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvestments of dividends or other
distributions made by the Fund, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2),
ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1)
fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help one understand
the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these
costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is
based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period from July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account
values and actual expenses. Unlike other mutual funds that directly acquire and
manage their own portfolio securities, each Feeder Fund invests all of its
investable assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio, a separately registered
investment company. The Master Portfolio, in turn, invests in securities. With
this type of organization, expenses can accrue specifically to the Master
Portfolio or the Feeder Fund or both. The Adviser for the Master Portfolios has
directed a certain amount of the Master Portfolio's trades to brokers believed
to provide the best execution and, as a result, the Master Portfolios have
generated direct brokerage credits to reduce certain service provider fees. Each
Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio's expenses,
including directed brokerage credits, on a daily basis. Any expense reductions
includes Feeder Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from
the Master Portfolio.

Although the Feeder Funds charge no transaction fees, a shareholder will be
assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and exchanges
executed by telephone between the Feeder Fund and any other series of Kinetics
Mutual Funds, Inc. The Feeder Fund's transfer agent charges a $5.00 transaction
fee to shareholder accounts for telephone exchanges between any two series of
Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. The Feeder Fund's transfer agent does not charge a
transaction fee for written exchange requests. IRA accounts are assessed a
$15.00 annual fee. Finally, as a disincentive to market-timing transactions, the
Feeder Funds will assess a 2.00% fee on the redemption or exchange of Fund
shares held for less than one month. These fees will be paid to the Feeder Funds
to help offset transaction costs. The Feeder Funds reserve the right to waive
the redemption fee, subject to their sole discretion,

                                        15


in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Feeder Funds or
shareholders.

One may use the provided information in the first line, together with the
amounts one has invested, to estimate the expenses that one paid over the
period. Simply divide one's 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 Period" to
estimate the expenses one paid on the 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 the Feeder Funds' actual
expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses,
which are not the Feeder Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values
and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses one paid for the period. One may use this information to compare the
ongoing costs of investing in the Feeder Funds and other funds. To do so,
compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that
appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the
expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight one's ongoing costs only and
do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads),
redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is
useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help one determine the
relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these
transactional costs were included, one's costs would have been higher.

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. -- FEEDER FUNDS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 December 31, 2004

1.   ORGANIZATION

Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the "Company") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and is incorporated in the
State of Maryland. The Company is an open-end management investment company
issuing its shares in series. One billion shares are authorized for the Company
with a par value of $0.001 per share. The series of the Company presently
authorized are The Internet Fund ("Internet"), The Internet Emerging Growth Fund
("Emerging"),The Paradigm Fund ("Paradigm"), The Medical Fund ("Medical"), The
Small Cap Opportunities Fund ("Small Cap") and The Kinetics Government Money
Market Fund ("Government") (each a "Feeder Fund" and collectively, the "Feeder
Funds"). Investment operations of the Funds began on October 21, 1996
(Internet), September 30, 1999 (Medical), December 31, 1999 (Emerging and
Paradigm), February 3, 2000 (Government) and March 20, 2000 (Small Cap). Each
series, unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage
their own portfolios of securities, seeks its investment objective by investing
all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series (each a "Master
Portfolio" and collectively the "Master Portfolios") of Kinetics Portfolios
Trust (the "Trust").

On April 28, 2000, each Fund in the Company, entered into a master-feeder fund
structure. By entering into this structure, each Feeder Fund invested all of its
assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio which had the same investment
objective as the Feeder Fund. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds.
Each Feeder Fund receives a proportionate amount of interest in the Master
Portfolio equal to its relative contribution of capital. Thus, each Feeder Fund
is allocated its portion of income, gains (losses) and expenses from the Master
Portfolio.

Each Feeder Fund's respective interest in the corresponding Master Portfolio as
of December 31, 2004 is as follows:

Prior to the conversion to a master-feeder fund structure, on April 28, 2000,
each then existing Feeder Fund conducted its own investment operations.

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. -- FEEDER FUNDS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 December 31, 2004

Effective April 26, 2001, the Internet, Paradigm and Medical Funds issued an
additional class of shares -- Advisor Class A. Effective December 31, 2001, the
Small Cap Fund issued an additional class of shares -- Advisor Class A. Advisor
Class A shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily
net assets. The Advisor Class A shares are also subject to a front-end sales
charge of 5.75%. Effective June 28, 2002 the Paradigm Fund issued an additional
class of shares -- Advisor Class C. Advisor Class C shares are subject to an
annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets. The No Load Class
shares do not pay a 12b-1 fee or have a sales charge. Each class of shares for
each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the Rule
12b-1 fees paid by the Advisor Class A and Class C shares, the sales charge on
the Advisor Class A and Class C shares, voting rights on matters pertaining to a
single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares.
Shares of each Feeder Fund will assess a 2.00% redemption fee on shares redeemed
or exchanged within 30 days of purchase.

Refer to the Master Portfolio's financial statements to obtain information about
the investment objective of the corresponding Feeder Fund. The financial
statements of the Master Portfolios, including the portfolio of investments in
securities, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Feeder Funds' financial statements.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SECURITY VALUATION
Master Portfolio securities (other than Government) that are listed on a U.S.
securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued
at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price
information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security
is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National
Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") are
valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). In the event market
quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially
affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a
particular security and the close of regular trading on the NYSE, "fair value"
will be determined. Purchased options, futures, unlisted U.S. securities and
listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at the mean of the most recent bid
and asked prices. Fixed-income securities (other than obligations having a
maturity of 60 days or less) are normally valued on the basis of

                                        31

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. -- FEEDER FUNDS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 December 31, 2004

quotes obtained from pricing services, which take into account appropriate
factors such as institutional sized trading in similar groups of securities,
yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics
and other market data.

Investments in The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio and instruments
with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates fair value. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are
readily available (including restricted securities) are valued in good faith at
fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master
Portfolios. At December 31, 2004, The Internet Portfolio held one such security
which represented 0.99% of the Portfolio's net assets. The Internet Emerging
Growth Portfolio held a security that was fair valued and it represented 0.00%
of the Portfolio's net assets.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are
members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a
national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government
Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the
Trust's policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities
whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least
equal to 100% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase
agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines,
realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

WRITTEN OPTION ACCOUNTING
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or
hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to
the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of
the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of
the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become
obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities
underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. Option
contracts are valued at the average of the current bid and asked price reported
on the day of the valuation. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration
date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the
Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction
differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to
any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying

                                        32

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. -- FEEDER FUNDS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 December 31, 2004

security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option
is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the
underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and
the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or
closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the
Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of
cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be
adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for put
options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call
options.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars.
For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into
U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities
and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such
currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service,
and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest
income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and
treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a
result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from
changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. However, for
federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as
ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from
actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign
exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are
valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent
factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer's
financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require
registration of unregistered securities. At December 31, 2004, the Master
Portfolios did not hold any investment securities which were determined to be
illiquid pursuant to the guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are
established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these

                                        33

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. -- FEEDER FUNDS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 December 31, 2004

securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios
record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such
securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio
securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid
assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for
when-issued securities.

SECURITIES LENDING
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by
entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker-dealers or
indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1/3% of
the total assets of each Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of
the total assets of each Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities
lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times
with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive
interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.

EXPENSE ALLOCATION
Common expenses incurred by Feeder Funds are allocated among the Feeder Funds
(i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific
identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Feeder Funds, depending on the
nature of the expenditure.

Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio's
expenses on a daily basis. In addition, each Feeder Fund accrues its own
separate expenses. Any cap on expenses includes Feeder Fund-specific expenses as
well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Master Portfolio intends to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. Therefore, the Master Portfolios believe they will not be subject to
any federal income tax on their income and net realized capital gains (if any).
However, each investor in the Master Portfolios will report its allocable share
of the Master Portfolio's income and capital gains for purposes of determining
its federal income tax liability.

It is the Feeder Funds' policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Feeder Funds intend to
distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded. Dividends
from net investment income and distributions of net

                                        34

 KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. -- FEEDER FUNDS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 December 31, 2004

realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The
character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or
net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax
purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expenses and gain
items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the Funds may
utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares
as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Where
appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such
differences that are permanent in nature.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

OTHER
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Income, expenses (other than
expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or
losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its
relative net assets.

3.   INVESTMENT ADVISER

Effective April 28, 2000, the Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Kinetics Asset Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), with whom
certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment
advisory services to the Master Portfolios. Under the terms of the Agreement,
the Master Portfolios compensate the Adviser for its management services at the
annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio's average daily net assets, except
for The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, which compensates the
Adviser at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Master Portfolio's average daily net
assets.

The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to continue to pay certain operating expenses
as deemed appropriate. The Adviser may discontinue the voluntary reimbursement
at any time, these reimbursements are not subject to

                                        35

The Adviser receives a shareholder servicing fee from the Feeder Funds pursuant
to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement in the amount equal to 0.25% of the Feeder
Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser is responsible for paying a portion
of these shareholder servicing fees to various agents that have a written
shareholder servicing agreement with the Adviser and that perform shareholder
servicing functions and maintenance of shareholder accounts on behalf of their
clients who own shares of the Feeder Funds.

The Feeder Funds paid the Chief Compliance Officer $4,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2004.

The Company, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted two Retail Distribution Plans
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "12b-1
Plans"). One Plan is for Advisor Class A shares, while the other Plan is for
Advisor Classes B and C shares. Under the first Plan, Advisor Class A shares may
pay up to an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net asset value of shares
to the Distributor or other qualified recipients under the Plan. During the year
ended December 31, 2004, payments under the 12b-1 Plan for the Advisor Class A
shares of the Internet, Paradigm, Medical and Small Cap Funds were limited to
0.25% of the average daily net asset value of such shares of such Funds. During
the year ended December 31, 2004, the Advisor Class A shares of the Internet,
Paradigm, Medical and Small Cap Funds incurred expenses of $1,991, $46,600,
$1,751 and $5,473, respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan. Under the second
Plan, Advisor Classes B and C shares pay an annual rate of 0.75% of the average
daily net asset value of such shares. During the year ended December 31, 2004,
Paradigm Advisor Class C shares incurred expenses of $36,825, pursuant to the
12b-1 Plan. Through December 31, 2004, the Funds had not issued any Advisor
Class B shares.

     We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities
     of The Internet Fund, The Internet Emerging Growth Fund, The Paradigm

     Kinetics Government Money Market Fund, each a series of shares of
     Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the "Funds"), as of December 31, 2004,
     and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net
     assets and financial highlights for the year then ended. These
     financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
     of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
     on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
     audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended
     December 31, 2003 and the financial highlights for each of the four
     years in the period ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other
     auditors whose report dated February 20, 2004 expressed an unqualified
     opinion on the statement of changes in net assets and the financial
     highlights.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
     Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
     require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
     assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
     highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
     examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
     disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
     assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
     made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
     statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
     reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
     referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the
     financial position of the above mentioned Funds as of December 31,
     2004, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets
     and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity
     with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
     America.

 KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST -- MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 December 31, 2004

1.   ORGANIZATION

The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware
Statutory Trust on March 14, 2000 and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment
company issuing its beneficial interests in series, each series representing a
distinct portfolio with its own investment objectives and policies. The series
currently authorized are The Internet Portfolio, The Internet Emerging Growth
Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap
Opportunities Portfolio, and The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio (the
"Master Portfolios"). Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Master Portfolios, with the
exception of The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, are
"non-diversified" series of the Trust. Each of the Master Portfolios commenced
operations on April 28, 2000.

Each Master Portfolio is a Master Investment Portfolio in a master-feeder fund
structure. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds invested in the
Master Portfolio. By contributing assets to the Master Portfolio, the feeder
funds receive a beneficial interest in the Master Portfolio. The Master
Portfolio then invests the contributed assets in portfolio securities and
allocates income, gains (losses) and expenses to the feeder funds based on the
funds' proportionate interest in the Master Portfolio.

Each of the Master Portfolios, with the exception of The Kinetics Government
Money Market Portfolio, seeks to provide investors with long-term capital
growth. The Internet Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of
U.S. and foreign companies engaged in the Internet and Internet-related
activities. The Internet Emerging Growth Portfolio invests primarily in the
equity securities of small and medium capitalization U.S. and foreign growth
emerging companies engaged in the Internet and Internet-related activities. The
Paradigm Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and
foreign companies that the investment adviser believes are undervalued and that
have high returns on equity and are well positioned to reduce their costs,
extend the reach of their distribution channels and experience significant
growth in revenues. The Medical Portfolio invests primarily in the equity
securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in medical research,
pharmaceutical treatments and related medical technology with a focus on
companies engaged in cancer research and drug development. The Small Cap
Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and
foreign small capitalization companies that provide attractive valuation

opportunities due to special situations such as lack of institutional ownership,
lack of significant analyst coverage or companies with sound fundamentals that
have experienced a short-term earnings shortfall. The Kinetics Government Money
Market Portfolio seeks to provide investors with current income consistent with
the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing in money
market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.

Master Portfolio securities (other than Government) that are listed on a U.S.
securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued
at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price
information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security
is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National
Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") are
valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). In the event market
quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially
affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a
particular security and the close of regular trading on the NYSE, "fair value"
will be determined. Purchased options, futures, unlisted U.S. securities and
listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at the mean of the most recent bid
and asked prices. Fixed-income securities (other than obligations having a
maturity of 60 days or less) are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained
from pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as
institutional sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality,
coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market
data. Investments in The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio and
instruments purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other assets and securities for
which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will
be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
Trustees of the Master Portfolios. At December 31, 2004, The Internet Portfolio
held one such security which represented 0.99% of the Portfolio's net assets.
The Internet Emerging Growth Portfolio held a security that was fair valued and
it represented 0.00% of the Portfolio's net assets.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are
members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a
national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government
Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the
Trust's policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities
whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least
equal to 100% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase
agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines,
realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

WRITTEN OPTION ACCOUNTING
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or
hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to
the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of
the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of
the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become
obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities
underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. Option
contracts are valued at the average of the current bid and asked price reported
on the day of the valuation. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration
date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the
Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction
differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to
any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability
related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium
originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or
increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short
sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is
required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash
equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted
daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for put options or
the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars.
For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into
U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities
and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such
currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service,
and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest
income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and
treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a
result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from
changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. However, for
federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as
ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from
actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign
exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are
valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent
factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer's
financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require
registration of unregistered securities. At December 31, 2004, the Master
Portfolios did not hold any investment securities which were determined to be
illiquid pursuant to the guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are
established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these
securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios
record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such
securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio
securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid
assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for
when-issued securities.

EXPENSE REDUCTION
The Adviser has directed a certain amount of the Master Portfolios' trades to
brokers believed to provide the best execution and, as a result, it has
generated directed brokerage credits to reduce certain service provider fees.

 December 31, 2004

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the total expenses of The Internet
Portfolio, The Internet Emerging Growth Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The
Medical Portfolio and The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio were reduced by
$117,143, $2,295, $75,638, $1,949 and $79,000, respectively, by using directed
brokerage credits. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such amounts are required to be shown as an expense and
have been included in each of the service provider fees in the Statement of
Operations.

SECURITIES LENDING
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by
entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker-dealers or
indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1/3% of
the total assets of each Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of
the total assets of each Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities
lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times
with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive
interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.

EXPENSE ALLOCATION
Common expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated among the Master
Portfolios (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a
specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Master Portfolios,
depending on the nature of the expenditure. All expenses incurred by the Master
Portfolios are allocated to the Feeder Funds daily based on their proportionate
interest in the Master Portfolio.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Master Portfolio intends to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. Therefore, the Master Portfolios believe they will not be subject to
any federal income tax on their income and net realized capital gains (if any).
However, each investor in the Master Portfolios will report its allocable share
of the Master Portfolio's income and capital gains for purposes of determining
its federal income tax liability.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

OTHER
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.

3.   INVESTMENT ADVISER

The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with Kinetics
Asset Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), with whom certain officers and trustees
of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the
Master Portfolios. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Master Portfolios
compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25%
of each Master Portfolio's average daily net assets, except for The Kinetics
Government Money Market Portfolio, which compensates the Adviser at a rate of
0.50% of the Master Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended
December 31, 2004, The Internet Portfolio, The Internet Emerging Growth
Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap
Opportunities Portfolio, and The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio
incurred expenses of $2,583,594, $54,196, $995,982, $282,481, $287,854 and
$10,117, respectively, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

KBD Securities, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, received $431,162 in brokerage
fee commissions with respect to the Portfolios' portfolio transactions, which
constituted 52% of the Portfolios' brokerage commissions during the period.

5.   PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED

As of December 31, 2004, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities that were
collateralized by cash. The cash collateral is invested by the custodian in a
money market pooled account approved by the Adviser. Although risk is mitigated
by the collateral, the Master Portfolio could experience a delay in recovering
its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to
return them. The Master Portfolio receives interest on the collateral received
as well as a fee for the securities loaned. The Master Portfolios will continue
to receive dividends and interest on all securities loaned. Gain or loss in the
fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan
will be accounted for by the Master Portfolios. The value of the securities on
loan and the value of the related collateral at December 31, 2004, were as
follows:

 KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST
 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
 PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

     To the Shareholders of and Board of Trustees
     Kinetics Portfolios Trust
     Sleepy Hollow, New York

     We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
     including the schedule of investments, of The Internet Portfolio, The
     Internet Emerging Growth Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The
     Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The
     Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, each a series of shares of
     Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the "Trust"), as of December 31, 2004, and
     the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net
     assets and financial highlights for the year then ended. These
     financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
     of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
     on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
     audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended
     December 31, 2003 and the financial highlights for each of the four
     years in the period ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other
     auditors whose report dated February 20, 2004 expressed an unqualified
     opinion on the statement of changes in net assets and the financial
     highlights.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
     Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
     require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
     assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
     highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
     examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
     disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
     confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by
     correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes
     assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
     made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
     statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
     reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
     referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the
     financial position of the above mentioned Portfolios as of December
     31, 2004, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
     assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in
     conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
     States of America.
