Kayne Anderson Rising Dividends Fund
------------------------------------
Objective:
- ----------
The investment goals of the Rising Dividends Fund are to: own the
highest quality, low debt companies; keep pace in rising stock markets;
outperform during weak stock markets; and provide rising dividend income. We
adhere to a disciplined investment approach that allows us to pursue
above-average growth with lower volatility than the general market.
The stocks we own are high-quality growth companies that are industry
leaders. Many of them could be characterized as "visionary companies" with
well-defined core ideologies that drive their organization. These ideologies
keep management and employees focused, and product development and corporate
growth on track.
Commentary:
- -----------
As this is written, stock prices continue making new highs, with the
market up approximately 20% for the first six months of 1997. The dynamic stock
market continues to reflect the many fundamental positives in the economy that
have been widely written about over the past few years. The strong performance
of the Fund for the first six months of this year continues to indicate that
investors want to own companies that are able to consistently produce double
digit earnings and dividend growth.
For the first six months of this year, the Fund was most heavily
weighted in the Consumer Staples, Financial and Technology sectors. Individual
stocks that outperformed during this time period were concentrated in the
Financial sector. In particular, Franklin Resources, State Street Corp. and
Marsh & McLennan, which have underlying businesses tied to the securities
markets, benefited from rising stock prices.
In the Consumer Staples sector, the Fund owns companies such as
Gillette, Kellogg and Wrigley. In addition, we purchased CPC International and
Kimberly-Clark Corp. during the year. CPC International is a global packaged
foods company whose brands include Best Foods and Hellmann's dressings,
Entenmann's pastries, Thomas' English muffins and Skippy peanut butter. Kimberly
Clark is an international consumer products company. A common theme in many of
the Consumer Staples positions is a strong international presence. These
multinational companies are expected to benefit from the millions of new
consumers coming into the global marketplace.
Within the technology sector, hardware companies such as Motorola, L.M.
Ericsson and Hewlett Packard have been strong as of late. On the other hand,
computer services companies such as Automatic Data Processing, Electronic Data
Systems and Equifax have lagged recently, creating good value in that sector. We
recently visited Motorola at their headquarters in Chicago and came away
impressed with the company's ability to continue to be a leader in a number of
high-growth areas, such as cellular telephone ground stations. This company is
well positioned to take advantage of the fact that only 3% of the world's
population is penetrated by wireless communications.

Outlook:
- --------
Regarding stock prices, in past periods when inflation was as low as
the 2.5% rate expected for 1997, the market P/E (price/earnings) ratio ranged
from 18 to 22. As of June 30, 1997, the S&P 500 traded at about 21 times
consensus estimated earnings for 1997 and 19.7 times consensus earnings for
1998. Therefore, stocks in general are not particularly overpriced given the
very favorable inflation outlook.
Inflation is of primary importance for a number of reasons. First, if
inflation is low, interest rates should stay at current levels or perhaps move
lower, and investors will not be tempted to sell stocks and buy bonds to "lock
in" more attractive bond yields. Second, a low-inflation environment allows
businesses to plan better, control costs more effectively and show more durable
profit growth. Third, the quality of earnings is much better, reflecting the
relative absence of "inflation profits" tied to marked-up inventories. Investors
tend to accord a higher P/E ratio to earnings growth that comes from unit sales
growth rather than price increases. As long as the Federal Reserve Board, led by
Alan Greenspan, continues to remain committed to low inflation, we remain
optimistic on this point.
Another major positive is the continued growth of world-wide markets.
All over the world, we see more and more consumers achieving the discretionary
income thresholds needed to be able to enjoy the products distributed by
multinational companies. From Eastern Europe to Latin America to China,
government policies are being structured to allow citizens to become gainfully
employed in the expanding private sector. The markets are opening up for
corporations to build plants, employ people and sell products to these
consumers.
We see positives in the supply/demand aspects of the market as well.
Due to cash mergers, "leveraged buy outs" and stock repurchases, the net
shrinkage in share supply is at an annual rate of $102 billion so far this year.
In addition, recently released Federal Reserve data shows that at the end of
March, only 48% of the $12.6 trillion in financial assets in the hands of
individuals was invested in stocks or stock mutual funds. That is well below the
highs seen in the 1960s. Finally, many of the "baby boomers" are just entering
their prime years for saving and investing. We expect to see them continuing to
invest into the next decade.
So, to summarize, the inflation rate is positive for stock valuations
and real corporate profit growth, emerging international economies are providing
new markets for growth, and demand for stocks should remain high. Our approach
to this environment is to buy only quality growth companies that pay rising
dividends and have relatively low debt. These companies also tend to be global
in their scope of operations. We further discipline ourselves to have a
portfolio that is diversified across all major economic segments.
Although a short-term "correction" may come at any time, we continue to
believe that a diversified portfolio of well-selected, quality growth, rising
dividends companies will show very satisfactory total returns to investors who
take a long-term view.

Kayne Anderson Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund
--------------------------------------------------
Objective:
- ----------
The goal of the Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund is to build a
diversified portfolio of the next generation of high quality "blue chip"
companies. Using Rising Dividends criteria, we seek to produce small-mid cap
stock returns, but with less risk. We focus on the highest quality companies to
allow clients to participate in the strong growth of small companies while
assuming less financial and stock market risk.
Commentary:
- -----------
Your portfolio owns stock in "America's best bank" according to U.S.
Banker magazine (National Commerce Bancorp), the nation's most profitable
semiconductor company according to electronics industry statistics (Linear
Technology), and the "Cable operator of the year" according to Cablevision
magazine (TCA Cable TV). This is a portfolio of industry leaders, despite the
fact that the companies have not yet grown to become household names.

<PAGE>
Small and mid-sized companies have recently trailed large companies in
stock price performance. However, financial results of small and mid-sized
companies in general are strong - not trailing. The combination of strong
financial results and trailing stock prices has made our Small-Mid Cap Rising
Dividends Fund available at a price/earnings ratio lower than that for the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index today. By comparison, the norm over the past decade
for the companies currently held by the Fund has been a price/earnings ratio 20%
above that of the S&P 500. We believe the availability of industry leading
companies at a discount price/earnings ratio creates an attractive investment
opportunity.
Outlook:
- --------
A benign economy continues to provide an environment where revenues,
earnings, and dividends grow nicely for our holdings. There is little commodity
price volatility to disturb the business development of our basic materials
companies - Bemis, Hach and Liqui-Box. Strong business investment is creating
favorable demand for our capital goods companies - Diebold, Nordson and Wireless
Telecom. And our financial companies, American Heritage Life, Eaton Vance,
Mutual Risk Management, National Commerce Bancorp, United Asset Management and
Washington Federal Savings, continue to prosper in this low and stable interest
rate environment.

Kayne Anderson International Rising Dividends Fund
--------------------------------------------------
Objective:
- ----------
The goal of the International Rising Dividends Fund is to achieve
consistent above-average returns by investing in carefully selected
international stocks from a universe of very high quality companies. Our
investment universe is comprised of companies with a history of consistent
increases in dividends and a low debt level. Generally, we focus our investments
on businesses with a global franchise rather than on local firms. Although we
favor broad international diversification, we are not looking to replicate the
country allocation of our benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australia and Far
East) Index.
Commentary:
- -----------
During the first half of 1997, the Fund's net asset value increased by
20.0%, while the MSCI EAFE Index was up 11.4% in dollar terms. The European
equity markets were very strong (up 20% on average in dollar terms), while the
Japanese market, a big component of the EAFE Index, rose only 7% in dollar
terms. Although the yen/dollar parity remained unchanged at the end of the
quarter compared to its level at the end of last year (115(Y)/$), the dollar
rose strongly against all Continental European currencies (e.g. up 13% against
the German Mark).
It is worth noting that the strength of the dollar did not prevent
investors from achieving good returns on their European investments. In fact, a
rising dollar positively impacts the profits of foreign export companies, which
now feel relieved from the competitive pressure of an undervalued dollar. The
Fund, which is dominated by investments in foreign multinational companies, is
particularly well positioned to reap the full benefit of the currency market's
current trend.
At the end of June 1997, the four largest countries represented in the
Fund were the United Kingdom (30.8%), France (11.7%), Japan (11.2%) and Hong
Kong (11.1%). Less than 5% of Fund assets were invested in short-term money
market instruments.
Our under-weighted position in Japan--compared to its weight in the
EAFE index of about 30%--has helped us to out-perform that benchmark for two
reasons: (1) the Nikkei returned only 7% during the first half of 1997 and (2)
our stock selection in Japan has out-performed the market average significantly.
As an example, Rohm (a leading Japanese semi-conductor company) has almost
doubled in price since we first bought it in February. Additionally, Nintendo
(video games manufacturer), Kao (personal products manufacturer), and
Seven-Eleven Japan (retailer) have seen their stock prices rising between 25%
and 35% since the beginning of the year. Thus, our selective approach in Japan
has paid off handsomely during the period.
Some other strong performers in the Fund include HSBC Holding (+43%),
one of the world's largest banks with a unique position in Asia, and Novartis
(+41%), the world's largest drug company, born in January when Sandoz and
Ciba-Geigy in Switzerland were merged. We were also happy to learn that two of
the Fund's holdings, Guinness Plc. and Grand Metropolitan Plc. have decided to
merge and create what should become the incontestable world leader in branded
spirits (GMG Brands).

The country allocation of the Fund at June 30, 1997 was:
Aust 3.2%
Spain 4.5%
UK 30.8%
Sweden 6.5%
France 11.7%
Japan 11.2%
Switzerland 6.5%
Netherland 7.0%
Hong Kong 11.1%
Malaysia 2.7%
Cash 4.8%
------
100.0%
Outlook:
- --------
As we wrote at the end of last year, the long-term prospects for
international equities remain excellent, although in the short-term some foreign
stocks and markets may have run out of steam after recent strong performances.
Many of the best managed foreign companies are restructuring their operations,
increasingly focusing on their core businesses, and adopting a more
shareholder-friendly attitude, much like American companies did 10 or 15 years
ago. Over time, we are confident that the market will more richly value the
stocks of those outstanding companies. This is a powerful movement that we see
developing over the next five to 10 years.

Kayne Anderson Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund
--------------------------------------------------
Objective:
- ----------
The objective of the Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund is to seek
total return through current income and capital appreciation, with principal
preservation a secondary consideration. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective
by investing primarily in high-quality, intermediate maturity debt securities.
Studies show that intermediate maturity debt securities can, over time, achieve
a majority of the return of long-term maturity debt without the associated level
of risk.
Commentary:
- -----------
During the first half of 1997, the Fund's net asset value decreased
$0.10, from $10.65 to $10.54. The total return, i.e. principal gain or loss with
income was 2.28%* for the Fund, compared with 2.83% for the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index. During the first quarter, the Fund
was still in the process of diversifying its initial holdings. During that
period, the overall level of interest rates for intermediate bonds rose
approximately 55 basis points (0.55%).
By June 30, 1997, after slightly more than eight months of operations,
Fund assets were fully invested in intermediate-term taxable bonds. The three
largest sectors represented in the Fund were: U.S. Treasury (41%), Finance
(16%), and Industrial (15%). The three largest individual credits held in the
portfolio were the U.S Treasury (41%), the Government National Mortgage
Association (11%), and the Federal National Mortgage Association (5%).
Mortgage Backed 11%
Asset Backed 4%
Industrial 15%
Finance 16%
Cash Equivalent 8%
Agency 5%
U.S. Treasury 41%
----
100%
Outlook:
- --------
The Federal Reserve is expected to keep its current policy stance
towards the level of interest rates for the remainder of the third quarter. We
will seek to distribute more fully the average maturity of the portfolio as
opportunities in the market arise.
* Past performance is not predictive of future performance, shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Kayne Anderson Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund
----------------------------------------------
Objective:
- ----------
The objective of the Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund is to seek current
income exempt from federal income tax consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in high-quality,
intermediate maturity debt securities, interest from which is exempt from
federal income tax. Part of the income from this Fund may also be exempt from
state income tax depending on the State of the shareholder's residence. Studies
show that intermediate maturity debt securities, over time, can achieve a
majority of the return of long-term debt securities without the associated level
of risk.
Commentary:
- -----------
During the first half of 1997, the Fund's net asset value increased
$0.01, from $10.65 to $10.66. The total return, i.e. principal gain or loss with
income was 1.58%* for the Fund, compared to 2.42% for the Lehman Brothers 5-year
Municipal Bond Index for the same time period. During the first quarter, the
Fund was still in the process of investing its initial holdings. During the
period, the overall level of interest rates for intermediate maturity bonds rose
approximately 55 basis points (0.55%).
By June 30, 1997, after slightly more than eight months of operations,
Fund assets were fully invested in federally tax-exempt municipal securities.
One of the goals of the Fund is to achieve a high level of diversification among
various municipal bond sectors. So far, we have achieved this goal by
diversifying the Fund among seven sectors within the municipal bond market. The
three largest sectors represented in the Fund were general obligation bonds
(32%), electric utility bonds (16%), and miscellaneous revenue bonds (13%). The
Fund was also invested in municipalities that are located in 12 different states
and territories. The three largest states represented in the Fund were
California (34%), New York (19%), and Washington (8%).
Cash & Equivalents 3%
Prerefunded 8%
Education 6%
Transportation 13%
Industrial Development 6%
Housing 4%
Hospital 12%
Electric 16%
General Obligation 32%
----
100%
11
<PAGE>
Outlook:
- --------
The Federal Reserve is expected to keep its current interest rate
policy for the remainder of the third quarter. Municipal bonds should continue
to perform well relative to most taxable bond sectors. We will seek to lengthen
the average maturity of securities in the Fund as opportunities in the market
arise.
* Past performance is not predictive of future performance, shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Kayne Anderson Mutual Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a business
trust in Delaware on May 29, 1996 and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust
currently consists of five separate diversified series: Rising Dividends Fund,
Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund, International Rising Dividends Fund,
Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund, and Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund (each a
"Fund" and collectively the "Funds").
Between May 29, 1996 and the respective dates of commencement of
operations, the Funds had no operations other than those related to
organizational matters and the sale of 2,347 shares of the Small-Mid Cap Rising
Dividends Fund, the International Rising Dividends Fund, the Intermediate Total
Return Bond Fund, and the Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund to Kayne Anderson
Investment Management, the Funds' investment advisor, for $25,000, respectively.
On October 4, 1996, the shareholders of the Kayne Anderson Rising Dividends Fund
(the "Predecessor Fund"), a series of shares of Professionally Managed
Portfolios, entered into a tax-free reorganization pursuant to which they agreed
to exchange their Predecessor Fund shares for shares of the Rising Dividends
Fund series of the Trust, which had no operations prior to the reorganization.
The Predecessor Fund is deemed to be the accounting survivor and, accordingly,
the statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the financial
highlights include the operations of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to
the reorganization.
The Rising Dividends Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, with
dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund invests primarily in
equity securities, usually common stocks, of companies of all sizes.
The Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation, with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund
invests primarily in equity securities, usually common stocks, of small and
mid-capitalization companies, which the Fund currently considers to be companies
having market capitalizations of not more than $3 billion.
The International Rising Dividends Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation, with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund
invests primarily in equity securities, usually common stocks, of companies
outside the U.S. generally having total market capitalizations of $1 billion or
more.
The Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund seeks to obtain maximum total
return, primarily through current income with capital appreciation as a
secondary consideration. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade debt
securities and seeks to maintain an average maturity of three to ten years.
The Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund seeks current income exempt from
federal income tax consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund invests
primarily in investment grade debt securities and may maintain an average
maturity of more than ten years.
There can be no assurances that the Funds will be able to achieve their
investment objectives. The value of Fund shares fluctuates daily and may be
worth more or less than their purchase price when redeemed.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
A. Security Valuation: The Funds' investments are carried at market
value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national
market system are valued at the last sale price. Other securities
are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available, if any, are valued at an
independent pricing service or determined following procedures
approved by the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
B. Federal Income Taxes: It is the Funds' policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their
taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income
tax provision is required.
C. Securities Transactions, Dividends and Distributions: As is common
in the industry, security transactions are accounted for on the
trade date. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
D. Deferred Organization Expenses: All of the expenses incurred by the
Advisor in connection with the organization and registration of the
Funds' shares will be borne by the Funds and are being amortized to
expense on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.
E. Accounting Estimates: In preparing financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management
makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Expenses Paid Indirectly: The Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund's
custodian, fund accounting and transfer agency fees for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 were reduced by $22,946 as a result of
earning credits from overnight cash balances with its custodian
bank.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
WITH AFFILIATES
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Kayne Anderson Investment
Management (the "Advisor") provided the Funds with investment management
services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnished all
investment advice, office space and certain administrative services, and
provides personnel as needed by the Funds. As compensation for its services, the
Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of the following based
upon the average daily net assets of the Funds:
37
<PAGE>
Kayne Anderson Mutual Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at June 30, 1997 (Unaudited), Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rising Dividends Fund 0.75%
Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund 0.85%
International Rising Dividends Fund 0.95%
Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund 0.50%
Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund 0.50%
Although not required to do so, the Investment Advisor has agreed to waive
or reimburse the expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary so that its ratio
of operating expenses to average net assets will not exceed the following
levels. Overall operating expenses for each Fund will not fall below the
applicable percentage limitation until the Investment Advisor has been fully
reimbursed for fees foregone and expenses paid by the Advisor under this
agreement:
Rising Dividends Fund 1.20%
Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund 1.30%
International Rising Dividends Fund 1.40%
Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund 0.95%
Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund 0.95%
Pursuant to these expense limitation provisions, the Advisor reimbursed
the Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund $44,543, the International Rising
Dividends Fund $48,530, the Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund $37,186, and the
Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund $14,925 during the six months ended June 30,
1997.
Investment Company Administration Corporation (the "Administrator") acts
as the Fund's Administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator
prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for
the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the trustees;
monitors the activities of the Fund's custodian, transfer agent and accountants;
coordinates the preparation and payment of Fund expenses and reviews the Fund's
expense accruals. For its services, the Trust has agreed to pay the
Administrator an annual fee equal to 0.075% of the first $40 million of the
Trust's average daily net assets, 0.05% of the next $40 million, 0.025% of the
next $40 million, and 0.01% thereafter, subject to a minimum annual fee of
$30,000 per Fund.
First Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the Fund's
principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund's shares. The
Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or
directors of the Advisor.
