To Our Shareholders:
What an interesting time we live in. Business is good--the stock market
goes down. Business is bad--the stock market goes up. Unemployment is
low--that's bad. It seems that each day new criteria arise to affect the
market. Old values and old criteria no longer appear to hold sway. I am
happy to report, however, that it appears that your Board of Directors
is doing something right.
With the help of our investment advisor, we are continuing to invest in
tax-exempt bonds having a Moody's rating of A or better. We decided, at
our May meeting, to continue to ladder our investments so that we can
take advantage of any significant interest rate changes. We purchase
bonds maturing anywhere from two to ten years from the date of purchase.
This way we will always have maturities to provide us cash to make new
purchases and take advantage of the best interest rates available at the
time.
Annexed hereto you will find our auditor's report on the financial
condition of the Company as of June 30th. During the fiscal period
January 1 through June 30, DK Investors had net earning of $316,226.
This compares to $341,694 during the same fiscal period in 1999. These
earnings translate to $0.27 per share of our common stock. In January
2000, and again in May, DK paid dividends to shareholders totaling $0.24
per share. A dividend of $0.12 per share was also paid to shareholder in
July of this year.
At our annual meeting held in May, the following directors were elected:
Gene Nadler, Harry Nadler, Francine Yellon, Andrew Brucker, Joseph Kell,
Angelo Balafas, and Thomas B. Schulhof. After the shareholders' meeting,
your Board of Directors met and elected Gene Nadler President, Angelo
Balafas Vice President, and Harry Nadler Secretary. The next meeting of
the Board will be held in September 2000.
Sincerely,
Gene Nadler
President

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
DK Investors Inc.
We have performed a limited review of the statements of assets and
liabilities of DK Investors Inc., including the portfolio of investments
as of June 30, 2000, and the related statements of operations and changes
in net assets for the six months then ended.
Our review was performed in accordance with standards for such reviews
promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
and, accordingly, consisted principally of obtaining an understanding of
the accounting system for preparation of interim financial information;
making an analytical review of pertinent financial data; and making
inquiries of, and evaluating responses from certain officials of the
company who have responsibility for financial and accounting methods.
All information included in these financial statements is the
representation of the management of DK Investors Inc.
Because our limited review did not constitute an examination made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we express no
opinion on the aforementioned financial statements.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements, in order for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a
diversified, closed-end, management investment company. The significant
accounting policies followed by the Company are summarized as follows:
a. Security Valuation
Investments in securities were valued at the bid price by Chase Bank.
b. Federal Income Taxes
The Company qualifies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
as a "regulated investment company" for federal income tax purposes,
investing all of its assets in tax-exempt state and local obligations.
The Company intends to distribute all of its net investment income to
its stockholders. The Company will be relieved of federal income taxes
on such income, and dividends so distributed will be tax-free to
shareholders.
c. Income and Expense Recognition
Interest income and related expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Amortization of bond premium calculated by the straight-line method is
charged against interest income over the term of the bond.
d. Other
As is common in the industry, security transactions are accounted for on
the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and
distribution to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each
expense accounting for 5 per cent of total expense is separately reported.
Note 2 - Purchases and Sales of Securities
During the period ended June 30, 2000, purchases and sales of
securities other than short-term were $2,016,000 and $1,512,000,
respectively. During the period ended June 30, 1999, purchases and
sales of securities other than short-term were $2,389,000 and
$1,678,000, respectively.
Note 3 - Investment Advisory Fee
The Company's agreement with Chase Bank for investment management
and advisory services calls for an annual fee of 4/10ths of 1% of
the average portfolio value. The fee for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 amounted to $29,120.
Note 4 - Distributions
Distributions to shareholders were $282,172 or $.24 per share in
2000 and $364,472 or $.31 per share in 1999. Distributions include
$589 or $.0005 per share and $12,406 or $.0106 per share paid in
2000 and 1999 as supplemental distributions for 1999 and 1998
respectively.
