KAYNE ANDERSON LARGE CAP FUND

GOAL

The KAYNE ANDERSON LARGE CAP FUND (the "Fund") invests in high-quality,
large-capitalization companies that enjoy global dominance, excellent
management, financial strength and consistent growth. Our intent is to be
long-term owners of some of the world's finest companies.

COMMENTARY

During the second quarter of 2000, most large-cap stock indices produced
negative total returns. Specifically, the S&P 500 returned -2.66%, while the Dow
Jones Industrials and Nasdaq returned -3.98% and -13.23%, respectively. In
contrast, the Fund produced a POSITIVE return in the second quarter. For the
first six months ended June 30, 2000, the Fund's total return was 2.46% vs.
-0.42% for the S&P 500.

During the last few months, we added three new names to the Fund. Specifically,
we purchased Home Depot, Gap Inc. and Cisco Systems. We are attracted to Home
Depot's business model of 23% to 25% EPS growth, the new EXPO Design Centers (a
potential home run), and an S&P relative price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 148%
versus a target range of 130% to 210%. We like Gap because comparable store
sales comparisons are easing, management can get the company back on fashion
trend, the online stores can tap the global potential of the brand and the stock
is very cheap. We bought Cisco because the company is the leader in a rapidly
growing, important technology sector and the overall sell-off for the technology
group afforded us the opportunity to buy well below the 52-week high of $82.

We also sold two positions in the last few months, one in financial services and
one in entertainment. Both sales involved companies that had appreciated
strongly to high levels. We believed that the combination of high valuation and
short-term earnings growth above sustainable long-term trends was reason enough
to sell the positions. We replaced them with securities with more favorable
valuation characteristics.

OUTLOOK

Looking forward from a macro perspective, we understand that rising interest
rates and some slowing of economic growth tend to limit upside potential in the
stock market. However, we believe that the engineering by the Federal Reserve
toward a less frenetic economic pace, in combination with ample global capacity
and productivity gained from technology spending, should allow inflation to be
constrained to an acceptable rate.

Our view of the next five years is that earnings growth will be the engine that
powers stock returns, because we are not counting on P/E expansion from today's
levels. Based on this premise, over the last year and a half we have been
systematically increasing the expected long-term earnings growth rate of
securities held in the Fund. Today, the anticipated growth rate is 15% to 16%,
up from 12% to 13% two years ago. Importantly, this has been accomplished while
retaining the consistency of earnings growth that is a key feature of Kayne
Anderson portfolios. As we have previously indicated, we believe a portfolio
with underlying profits growing at a rate in the mid-teens provides a strong
underpinning for long-term capital appreciation.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. For the one and five years
ended June 30, 2000, the Fund is up 5.51% and 19.76%, annualized, respectively.
Since the Fund's inception on May 1, 1995 through June 30, 2000 the Fund is up
20.01% annualized. Each of the above mentioned securities account for 2.06%,
1.84% and 3.56% of the Fund as of June 30, 2000.

KAYNE ANDERSON SMALL CAP FUND

GOAL

The goals of the KAYNE ANDERSON SMALL CAP FUND are:

*    To build a diversified portfolio of the next generation of high quality
     "blue chip" companies.
*    To produce returns typical of small stocks, but with no more risk than the
     S&P 500 Index of large stocks.

In summary, we strive to buy stock in high-quality companies at discount prices
in order to allow clients to participate in the strong growth of small companies
while assuming less financial and stock market risk.

The following table demonstrates our commitment to these objectives. Our
portfolio combines: (1) quality comparable to that of the high-quality
benchmark, the S&P 500 Index of large stocks; (2) growth comparable to that of
the high-growth benchmark, the Russell 2000 Small Cap Growth Index; and (3)
value comparable to that of the deep-value benchmark, the Russell 2000 Small Cap
Value Index.

COMMENTARY

Small cap markets were down modestly in the second quarter following a modest
first quarter advance. Year-to-date, the markets have produced a mid-single
digit return. By avoiding the second quarter decline, the Fund is ahead of the
indices year-to-date. This is very much in keeping with our investment objective
of generating the returns of the asset class, but with much less risk. Since
inception, Kayne Anderson's small cap portfolio has historically declined much
less often and to a much lesser degree than the overall markets. As illustrated
below, this year provides a good example. At the March 10th market peak, the
Russell 2000 small cap benchmark was up 20% with Kayne Anderson's portfolio up
single digits. Through the subsequent 25% market decline, our portfolio
continued to advance.

Two of our holdings, Air Express International and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating,
were acquired at premium prices by larger companies during the first half of
this year. This follows the acquisition of three of our holdings by larger
companies in 1999. We believe the reasons for this exceptional acquisition
activity are clear. Relative to the S&P 500 Index, at June 30, 2000, the
holdings in our portfolio exhibit the superior quality and growth
characteristics shown above. They grow faster than the companies of the S&P 500
Index. Yet, as shown in the graph on page 8, our companies sell near the
steepest discount ever to the S&P 500 Index. As a result, large companies see
the opportunity to use their more richly valued common stocks as currency to buy
high quality, fast growing, small companies, such as our holdings, at discount
prices.

The stock market volatility noted in the chart above created profit-taking
opportunities in some of our holdings. Proceeds from partial sales in these
holdings, along with proceeds from Air Express and Duff & Phelps, were
reinvested in the following companies. Each of these companies is an industry
profit leader.

     janitorial, security, parking, lighting, engineering
*    C.H. Robinson - Largest intra-national freight forwarder. Manages flow of

*    CSG Systems International - Customer billing for 45% of all U.S. cable

OUTLOOK

Small stocks have outperformed large stocks so far this year following a
multi-year period of lagging performance. Large cap companies are using their
richly valued stock as currency in small company takeovers. Our current Small
Cap portfolio now sells at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio 20% lower than the
P/E ratio of the S&P 500 Index of large stocks -indicating good value. Our
portfolio has sold as high as a 30% premium over the past decade. We own
companies higher in quality and growing faster than the S&P 500. Thus we believe
our portfolio will again sell at a premium P/E ratio to that of the S&P 500 in
the future.

KAYNE ANDERSON INTERNATIONAL FUND

GOAL

The goal of the KAYNE ANDERSON INTERNATIONAL FUND is to achieve superior
long-term results by investing in the best quality international companies. We
pursue this goal through a focused investment philosophy that relies on the
following principles: (1) commitment to quality; (2) long-term vision; (3)
independent fundamental research; (4) broad diversification; and (5)
valuation-driven decision process. We define quality companies as those
possessing a global competitive advantage, management excellence, financial
strength and flexibility, high levels of profitability and consistency of
earnings. We seek to diversify the Fund across countries and industries but do
not aim to replicate the country allocation of our benchmark, the MSCI EAFE
(Europe, Australia and the Far East) index.

COMMENTARY

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, the Kayne Anderson International
Fund produced a total return of +0.31% versus a decline of 3.95% for the MSCI
EAFE index (in dollar terms). Since March 10th, the date that marks the
beginning of the US Nasdaq market collapse, the Fund returned +6.24% compared to
a 3.69% decline for the benchmark. The Fund's balanced, long-term oriented
investment approach has again shown its defensive characteristics in times of
market turmoil.

Speculation around TMT stocks (Technology, Media, Telecommunications) that
developed in the second half of 1999 continued unabated during the first two
months of 2000, as none of the feared Y2K-related computer problems manifested.
At the beginning of March, the valuation levels reached by most TMT stocks
around the world could not be justified by fundamentals anymore, which led
market participants to rotate their portfolios out of TMT stocks in favor of
more defensive, reasonably priced sectors such as food, beverage,
pharmaceuticals, and financials. This phenomenon was particularly acute in
Europe where media, telecommunications, and software and computer services
groups fell sharply, while beverages, pharmaceuticals, and insurance groups rose
significantly. In Japan, a similar phenomenon took place, with dramatic declines
in the Internet area. The well publicized collapse of 1999 stock market darlings
Softbank and Hikari Tushin confirmed our previously stated opinion that
complacent, short-term-oriented investors would pay a hefty price for ignoring
fundamentals.

At the end of June, the four largest countries represented in the Fund were the
United Kingdom (22.6%), Japan (22.4%), France (16.2%), and The Netherlands
(10.3%). We continued to add to our Japanese equity position, purchasing during
the first quarter a few high-quality stocks which were already sharply down at
the time we purchased them: Fujitsu, Matsushita Electric, NTT, and Sumitomo
Bank. We also took advantage of sharp declines in the TMT sectors to buy Alcatel
and Telefonica. In order to finance those purchases, we sold Elsevier, and
Tomkins, which were not meeting our expectations, and Uni-Charm, which reached
our target price. We also took profits in some of the portfolio winners
(Ericsson, SAP, Reuters and others).

Among the first-half 2000 winners, were Alcatel (+49%), Canon (+24%), Ericsson
(+22%), Danone (+17%), AXA (+15%), Diageo (+13%), and Astra-Zeneca (+13%). The
losers included Panamco (-26%), Unilever (-19%) and Rentokil-Initial (-39%), and
Minebea (-27%). We have seen during last three months a sector broadening of the
market that bodes well for our diversified investment approach.

NEW PURCHASES

FUJITSU

Based in Japan, Fujitsu is a leading provider of comprehensive information
technology and network solutions for the global marketplace. It manufactures
computers, communication equipment and semiconductors, and provides Internet
connection services through @nifty, the largest Internet provider in Japan. We
believe Fujitsu should benefit from a focus on the Internet (new slogan:
"Everything on the Internet"), a reorganization of existing businesses, and the
current trend towards greater IT-related capital spending in Japan.

NTT

NTT is the leading telecom service provider in Japan, and, we believe, stands to
benefit from the rapid growth in Internet and data transmission by leveraging
its strength to own the lucrative last mile to customers. In addition, it has
announced plans to cut costs and reduce capital expenditures in the next three
years, increasing free cash flow. We believe that NTT's valuation is attractive,
considering profitability improvements in its wireline businesses and its
rapidly growing subsidiaries, which include NTT DOCOMO (a wireless service
operator) and OCN (the second-largest ISP in Japan).

MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC

Matsushita Electric Industrial ("MEI") is the world's largest consumer
electronics company. We believe MEI should be a major beneficiary of rapid
growth in the digital and network sectors, based on its technological
leadership, production capabilities, and strong brand names. Its management team
has devised a reorganization plan in order to improve operating and financial
efficiency and to maximize shareholder value. We believe MEI should also benefit
from the economic recovery in Asia through its exposure to Asian emerging
markets, and particularly China.

ALCATEL

Headquartered in France, Alcatel is a leading telecommunications equipment
supplier. As a clear leader in ADSL and ATM technology (particularly after its
recent take-over of Newbridge Networks of Canada), we believe Alcatel is well
positioned to benefit from the internet-linked "broadband" explosion. We believe
the company will achieve strong earnings growth this year due to a sustained
top-line expansion and sharp margin improvement, providing the catalyst for the
stock to close the valuation gap it has suffered versus its peer group.

                                                                              13

The country allocation of the fund on June 30th, 2000 was:

Australia    Finland    France    Germany    Hong Kong    Japan    Mexico
---------    -------    ------    -------    ---------    -----    ------
   3.1%        2.3%      16.2%      2.9%        2.7%      22.4%     1.6%


Netherlands     Spain     Sweden    Switzerland     UK     Cash
-----------     -----     ------    -----------    -----   ----
   10.3%         6.4%      2.1%         7.2%       22.6%   0.2%


OUTLOOK

We welcome the return to more realistic valuation levels of the so-called "new
economy" stocks. The sector broadening that we have witnessed since mid-March,
which we believe will continue, should greatly benefit our well diversified
equity portfolio.

In our opinion, the outlook for international developed equity markets remains
very positive. The European equity markets continue to be supported by strong
fundamentals; economic growth is accelerating, and corporate restructuring, M&A
activity, pension and fiscal reforms, and technological advances should continue
to attract international capital flows over the next few years. In Japan,
globalization and the continued maturation of the domestic economy are putting
intense pressure on the corporate sector, which is poised to experience profound
changes. Although we remain cautious about the short-term, we believe that
corporate restructuring and merger and acquisition activities are likely to
drive the Japanese equity markets to significantly higher levels over the next
few years.

We continue to believe that an investment strategy that focuses exclusively on
the highest quality foreign companies constitutes a long-term winning strategy
for the prudent investor.

Jean-Baptiste Nadal, CFA
Portfolio Manager

Past performance is no indication of future performance. For the one year ended
June 30, 2000 the Fund was up 17.39%. From inception (October 18, 1996) through
June 30, 2000 the Fund's annualized return has been 20.42%. The Fund invests in
international securities which carry a greater risk then domestic securities.

KAYNE ANDERSON INTERMEDIATE TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND

GOAL

The goal of the KAYNE ANDERSON 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 goal by
investing primarily in high-quality, intermediate-maturity debt securities. The
Fund follows the premise 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

The first half of 2000 has been a volatile time in both the fixed income and
equity markets. Fixed income markets have responded not only to the actions of
the Federal Reserve Board and the movements in equity markets, but also to
virtually every comment made by a member of the Fed. Overall, it has been
positive for the Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund, which is up 3.11% year to
date as of June 30, 2000. The fund has benefited from our short to neutral
duration relative to our benchmark, and our current weighting in U.S.
Treasuries. While the spreads have been widening in the corporate and agency
sectors, the treasury sector has performed well for a couple of reasons: first,
there is a "scarcity" factor currently affecting U.S. Treasuries as the issuance
level declines (We have seen the portion of the Lehman Government/Corporate
Index represented by US Government debt fall from 80% in December 1994 to 63%
this month.); second, as mentioned above, the volatility in the markets always
lends support to the treasury sector.

                             SECTOR DIVERSIFICATION

MORTGAGE-BACKED .........  7%           COMMERCIAL PAPER .......   2%
CMO .....................  3%           CASH & EQUIVALENTS .....   1%
INDUSTRIAL .............. 10%           AGENCY .................   1%
FINANCE .................  9%           U.S. TREASURY ..........  67%


OUTLOOK

Since the Fed began its current tightening cycle in June of last year, it has
taken the Federal Funds rate from 4.75% to its current level of 6.50%. Although
it made no change at its last meeting, the Committee has stated that "the risks
continue to be weighted mainly toward conditions that may generate heightened
inflation pressures in the foreseeable future". However, we are beginning to see
the effects of their actions flowing through the economy. Mortgage rates are at
their highest levels since the early 1990's, and we are now seeing some signs of
softening in the demand for housing. Banks are tightening credit standards for
commercial and industrial loans, and unemployment claims continue to trend
higher. Although upcoming inflation reports are likely to be higher than
expected due to oil prices, we do expect the core inflation numbers to be
encouraging. That said, it is still too early to tell what the Fed's next move
will be, but we can expect the fixed income markets to continue to react in
anticipation.

                                                                              19

KAYNE ANDERSON CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE BOND FUND

GOAL

The goal of the KAYNE ANDERSON CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE BOND FUND is to
seek current income exempt from both federal and California income taxes
consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its goal by
investing primarily in high-quality, intermediate-maturity debt securities,
interest from which is exempt from federal and California state income taxes.
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

The first half of 2000 has been a volatile time in both the fixed income and
equity markets. Fixed income markets have responded not only to the actions of
the Federal Reserve Board and the movements in equity markets, but also to
virtually every comment made by a member of the Fed. Overall, the Intermediate
California Tax Free Bond Fund has benefited from our intermediate term duration,
as well as our focus on quality, by being up 4.53% year-to-date as of June 30,
2000. The municipal market as a whole is performing well. We are seeing credit
ratings on the rise, as revenues to state and local agencies are up, and new
debt issuance is down. New issue volume peaked in 1998 at $292 billion, in 1999
it dropped to $225 billion, and in 2000 it is approximately 30% below
year-to-date levels last year. We are seeing this scarcity of bonds strongly
effecting the California market. Again, we see the focus on quality in a market
with a scarcity factor as adding value.

OUTLOOK

Since the Fed began its current tightening cycle in June of last year, it has
taken the Federal Funds rate from 4.75% to its current level of 6.50%. Although
it made no change at its last meeting, the Committee has stated that "the risks
continue to be weighted mainly toward conditions that may generate heightened
inflation pressures in the foreseeable future". However, we are beginning to see
the effects of their actions flowing through the economy. Mortgage rates are at
their highest levels since the early 1990's, and we are now seeing some signs of
softening in the demand for housing. Banks are tightening credit standards for
commercial and industrial loans, and unemployment claims continue to trend
higher. Although upcoming inflation reports are likely to be higher than
expected due to oil prices, we do expect the core inflation numbers to be
encouraging. That said, it is still too early to tell what the Fed's next move
will be, but we can expect the fixed income markets to continue to react in
anticipation.

                                                                              23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

     Kayne Anderson Mutual Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware
business trust 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: Large Cap Fund (formerly
Rising Dividends Fund), Small Cap Fund (formerly Small Cap Rising Dividends
Fund), International Fund (formerly International Rising Dividends Fund),
Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund and California 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 Cap Fund, the
International Fund, the Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund and the California
Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund to Kayne Anderson Investment Management, LLC
(the "Advisor") for $25,000, respectively. On October 4, 1996 the shareholders
of the Kayne Anderson Large Cap 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 Large Cap 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 financial highlights include the
operations of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to the reorganization.

     The Large Cap 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 generally having a total market
capitalization of $1 billion or more.

     The Small Cap 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 a total market
capitalization of not more than $3 billion.

     The International 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 a total market capitalization 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 California Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund seeks current income exempt
from federal and California state 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 Funds' shares fluctuates daily and may be
worth more or less than their purchase price when redeemed. 39

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 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 by 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 all of their taxable income to
          shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

          At December 31, 1999 the Large Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund, Intermediate
          Total Return Bond Fund and the Cali-fornia Intermediate Tax-Free Bond
          Fund had capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax
          purposes of $1,205,594, $7,648,002, $253,513 and $2,026, respectively,
          which expire in 2007.

     C.   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Security
          transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is
          recognized on the accrual basis. Bond discounts and premiums are
          amortized over their respective lives. Dividend income and
          distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     D.   DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS. 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 amortized to expense on a
          straight-line basis over a period of five years.

     E.   ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in
          conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
          management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
          amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
          statements. Actual result could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
         AFFILIATES

     The Advisor provides the Funds with investment management services under an
Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"). The Advisor furnishes 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 following annual rates:

          Large Cap Fund                                    0.75%

          International Fund                                0.95%

portion of its fees and reimbursing each Fund for expenses, excluding interest,
so that their ratio of expenses to average net assets will not exceed the

          Small Cap Fund                                    1.30%
          International Fund                                1.40%
          Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund               0.95%
          California Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund        0.75%

agreed upon expense cap shall be  reimbursed  by the Fund to the Advisor,  if so
requested by the Advisor,  provided the aggregate  amount of the Fund's  current
operating expense for such fiscal year does not exceed the applicable limitation
on Fund  expenses.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the Advisor  waived
fees of $31,148 for the California  Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000,  the Advisor  recouped  fees  previously  waived and
expenses   absorbed  of  $8,847,   $20,785  and  $20,997  for  Small  Cap  Fund,
