Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds’ Semi-Annual Report for the period ending June 30, 2009. On balance, the Kinetics Family of Mutual Funds had respectable results for the first half of 2009, with gains of 18.30% for The Paradigm Fund, 33.11% for the Small Cap Opportunities Fund, 29.78% for the Market Opportunities Funds, 18.49% for the Internet Fund, 10.77% for the Medical Fund, 6.44% for the Water Infrastructure Fund, 39.41% for The Global Fund, and 9.49% for the Multi-Disciplinary Fund. This compares with first-half 2009 returns of 3.16% and 16.36% for the S&P 500 Index(1) and the NASDAQ Composite Index(2), respectively.
 
We have always maintained that our long-term investment results will be driven by the underlying business operations of the companies we own. In this regard, nothing has changed. As global investors have reassessed risk, those companies that have rebounded the most in price tended to be those which had performed well operationally throughout the crisis. We believe that our funds possess many of these types of businesses. At present, we still believe our Funds offer noteworthy value for long-term investors, as we believe the price recovery for our holdings is still in the earlier stages.
 
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 Paradigm Fund focuses on companies that currently have, or which should soon have, sustainable high returns on equity. The Fund has produced attractive returns over the last 91/2 years. The Paradigm Fund is Kinetics’ flagship fund.
 
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 Medical Fund is a sector fund, offering an investment in scientific discovery within the 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.

Shareholders’ Letter — (Continued)
 
The Internet Fund is a sector fund that focuses on companies engaged in the evolution of Internet-related developments. As such, 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. In some cases, we view this Fund’s holdings as publicly traded venture capital and are quite aware that many of these investments will not fulfill their promise. However, we expect that, over time, some small percentage will develop into excellent investments, allowing the fund to produce overall attractive, albeit, lumpy returns.
 
The Global Fund’s mandate was changed in early April 2008 to an emphasis on international investments, with particular attention to China and other Asian markets.
 
The Market Opportunities Fund focuses on those companies that benefit from increasing transactional volume or throughput, such as publicly-traded exchanges, or that act as facilitators, such as gaming companies, airports and publicly-traded toll roads.
 
The Water Infrastructure Fund is a sector fund that invests in global companies engaged in water infrastructure and water-specific natural resources, as well as related activities.
 
The Multi-Disciplinary Fund is a fund that seeks to utilize stock options and fixed-income investments so as to provide investors with equity-like returns, but with more muted volatility. At times, the options strategies of the fund may cause the manager to purchase equity securities.
 
The Kinetics Government Money Market Fund is a short-term investment vehicle that provides a useful service for those participating in our equity product offerings.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
 
Starting in March of 2009, investors have witnessed a rebound in global equity markets. Many of our funds participated fully in this rebound, which was the result of a reassessment of risk on the part of investors, as liquidity and funding demands lessened.
 
In our opinion, the primary impetus for the strong global equity performance was the noteworthy progress made in restarting global credit markets. The non-Treasury fixed income markets had, in effect, shut down between September 2008 and March 2009. This caused investors to turn to other sources of liquidity. The good news was that global equity markets functioned properly. The bad news was that global equity markets functioned properly and, accordingly, they were used as automatic teller machines to meet the cash needs of corporations and individuals around the world. This forced liquidation of stocks created a negative equity bubble which fed upon itself. Investors that do not have a focused objective benchmark, such as a company’s business operations, tend to latch on to the easiest piece of data obtainable, price, to make decisions. A price focus usually translates into a buy-high/sell-low strategy, which is not the path to financial success.
 
With the restoration of the fixed income markets, credit spreads between most non-Treasury debt and Treasuries tightened significantly during the first six months of 2009, indicating improved liquidity and a higher appetite for riskier assets, including equities. In many cases, the shares that appreciated the most were those of companies whose underlying businesses had not been impacted, or only minimally impacted, by the financial crisis, which is how we would characterize many of the holdings in our funds.
 
In a modern global economy, the importance of the circulation of money cannot be overstated. For a six-month period of time, from September 2008 to March 2009, money circulation ground to a halt. The impact of this dynamic had a significant effect on the global economy, which is still being reflected in weak global economic statistics. With the restoration of money circulation, the economic numbers should improve markedly.

Investment Commentary — (Continued)
 
According to Dealogic, a leading consultant to the investment banking industry, over $1.5 trillion of debt and $260 billion of equity was issued globally during the second quarter of 2009. Eventually, we believe much of this capital will make its way into productive uses that should help stimulate a global economic recovery. The equity markets have already discounted some of the expected economic improvement, and negative sentiment seems to be losing its chokehold on investors. That being said, the vast majority of investors can remain on the sidelines with their cash, and we can still witness very strong global stock markets, as stock prices are set at the margins. If the marginal demand to buy dwarfs the marginal propensity to sell, stock prices will go higher. It would seem to be reasonable that the buyers of stocks over the last nine months are likely to be the strong hands in the market, and those who collect shares for investment are very unlikely to be sellers.
 
We are not unaware of the problems facing the United States economy, which is largely driven by consumption. It is hard to become overly optimistic about the chances of a robust economic recovery based upon such expectations, when many consumers are either being laid off or are highly indebted. This leads us to believe that the best opportunities in equities are generally in those businesses that are not dependent upon the American consumer. In broad terms, our exposure to financials is largely through those companies that facilitate transactions, which will continue to occur irrespective of consumption. Our exposure to commodities and oil is predicated on the global demand for these assets and the world’s limited supply. Our exposure to China is predicated on the belief that the world’s business axis is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
 
We remain quite hopeful about our country’s future because societies advance based on the application of knowledge and, in that regard, this country and the world are making tremendous strides. We do, however, believe that broad United States equity returns will be subdued because most of the large companies that drive those returns depend upon a hearty consumer.
 
We thank you for your continued support, and we appreciate your perseverance in these interesting times.
 
The Kinetics Investment Team

Investment Commentary — (Continued)
 
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 Internet Fund, The Medical Fund and The Water Infrastructure 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. International investing [for The Global Fund, The Water Infrastructure Fund, The Paradigm Fund, The Market Opportunities Fund, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund and The Internet Fund] presents special risks including currency exchange fluctuation, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability. Accordingly, the share price for these Funds is expected to be more volatile than that of a U.S.-only fund. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
 
Because smaller companies [for The Global Fund, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund and the Water Infrastructure Fund] often have narrower markets and limited financial resources, they present more risk than larger, more well established, companies.
 
Non-investment grade debt securities [for all Funds], i.e., junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, price volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities. Further, options contain special risks including the imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the value of the underlying asset. Each Fund [other than The Kinetics Government Money Market Fund] may invest in futures, swaps and other derivative instruments, which may result in loss as derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. To the extent the Funds segregate assets to cover derivative positions, they may impair their ability to meet current obligations, to honor requests for redemption and to manage the Funds in a manner consistent with their respective investment objectives.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.
Investment Commentary — (Continued)
 
Purchasing and writing put and call options and, in particular, writing “uncovered” options are highly specialized activities that entail greater than ordinary investment risk.
 
As non-diversified Funds [other than The Kinetics Government Money Market Fund], the value of Fund 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 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.

Expense Example
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
 
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 investors 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 on January 1, 2009 and held for the entire period from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009.
 
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 include Feeder Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
 
The Feeder Funds will charge shareholder 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 30 days. 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, in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Feeder Funds or shareholders.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — FEEDER FUNDS
Expense Example — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
 
You may use the information provided in the first line, together with the amounts you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your 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 you paid on your 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. You 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. If these transactional costs were included, one’s costs would have been higher.

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 Global Fund (“Global”), The Paradigm Fund (“Paradigm”), The Medical Fund (“Medical”), The Small Cap Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap”), The Kinetics Government Money Market Fund (“Government”), The Market Opportunities Fund (“Market Opportunities”), The Water Infrastructure Fund (“Water Infrastructure”) and The Multi-Disciplinary Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary”). Investment operations of the Company began on October 21, 1996 (Internet), September 30, 1999 (Medical), December 31, 1999 (Global and Paradigm), February 3, 2000 (Government), March 20, 2000 (Small Cap), January 31, 2006 (Market Opportunities), June 29, 2007 (Water Infrastructure) and February 11, 2008 (Multi-Disciplinary). Each series, unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, seeks to achieve 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 (January 31, 2006 with respect to Market Opportunities, June 29, 2007 with respect to Water Infrastructure and February 11, 2008 with respect to Multi-Disciplinary), each series in the Company entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each series (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) 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.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities (other than securities held by the Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio) 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Purchased non-exchange traded 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. Exchange traded options are valued at the last reported sale price on an exchange on which the option is traded. If no sales are reported on a particular day, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. 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.
 
Investment securities 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


40


 

 
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
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 June 30, 2009 0.03%, 0.29%, 0.00% and 0.00% fair valued securities were held by the Internet Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively. Please see the Notes to Financial Statements for the Master Portfolios for a Summary of Fair Value Exposure.
 
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.
 
Options Written
The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolios may purchase or write options to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of equities. 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. 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). Realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations. As collateral for


41


 

 
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
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 exercise price 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 and Illiquid 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 June 30, 2009 the Global Portfolio and Paradigm Portfolio had restricted securities with an aggregate value of $67,279 and $6,721,000 representing 1.88% and 0.49% , respectively, of its net assets. An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Master Portfolio has valued the investment. At June 30, 2009, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
 
                 
    Market
  Percentage of
    Value   Net Assets
 
The Internet Portfolio
  $ 24,393       0.03 %

June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
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.
 
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 331/3% 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 corresponding 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 will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
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


43


 

 
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
from net investment income and distributions of net 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 Feeder 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.
 
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2009, open tax years include the tax years December 31, 2005 through 2008. The Funds have no examination in progress. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next six months.
 
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. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Company’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
 
In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through August 28, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
 
3.  Investment Adviser
 
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) 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 Agreements, the Master Portfolios

The Adviser receives a shareholder servicing fee from the No Load Class, Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares of a Feeder Fund pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement in the amount equal to 0.25% of the Feeder Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to No Load Class, Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares, respectively. For the Institutional Class, the Adviser receives a shareholder servicing fee pursuant to a shareholder servicing agreement in the amount equal to 0.20% of a Feeder Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Class shares. At this time, the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse the portion of the Institutional Class shareholder servicing fee in excess of 0.05% of a Feeder Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Class shares until at least May 1, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Adviser waived amounts depicted in the above table in shareholder servicing fees for the Institutional Class of the Paradigm Fund, the Small Cap Fund, the Market Opportunities Fund, the Water Infrastructure Fund and the Multi-Disciplinary Fund. 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.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Feeder Funds were allocated $12,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.
 
The Company, on behalf of the Feeder Funds, has adopted two Retail Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”). One Plan is for Advisor Class A shares, while the other Plan is for Advisor Class 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 Advisor Class A shares to the Distributor or other qualified recipients under the Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, payments under the 12b-1 Plan for the Advisor Class A shares of the Internet, Global, Paradigm, Medical, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Water Infrastructure and Multi-Disciplinary Funds were limited to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of such shares of such Funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor Class A shares of the Internet, Global, Paradigm, Medical, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Water Infrastructure and Multi-Disciplinary Funds incurred expenses of $372, $107, $274,031, $3,713, $13,937, $21,091, $8,662 and $105 respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan.

4.  Reclassification of Capital Accounts
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2008, each Fund recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. approved the participation of The Kinetics Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (the “Treasury”) Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) for the three-month period ended December 18, 2008. On November 24, 2008, the Treasury announced the extension of the Program until April 30, 2009 and the Board approved the Fund’s continued participation in the Program on December 5, 2008. The Board approved the Fund’s continued participation in the Program on March 18, 2009, and on March 31, 2009, the Treasury announced the extension of the Program until September 18, 2009. The Program seeks to protect the net asset value of shares held by a shareholder of record in a participating fund at the close of business on September 19, 2008. Any shares held by shareholders in a participating fund as of that date are insured against loss under the Program if the fund liquidates its holdings and market-based net asset value of the shares at the time of the liquidation is less than $0.995 per share. Shares acquired by a shareholder of record after the close of business on September 19, 2008 that exceed the number of shares the shareholder owned in the Fund on September 19, 2008 are not eligible for protection under the Program.
 
Participation in the Program for the three-month period ending December 18, 2008, required a payment to the Treasury in the amount of 0.01% of the net asset value of the Fund as of September 19, 2008. Continued participation in the Program for the period December 19, 2008 through April 30, 2009 and for the period from May 1, 2009 through September 18, 2009, required two payments to the Treasury in the amount of 0.015% each of the net asset value of the Fund as of September 19, 2008. The Fund will bear the expense of its participation in the Program without regard to any fee waivers or expense limitations currently in effect for the Fund.

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
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 objective and policies. The series currently authorized are: The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio (collectively, 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. The Market Opportunities Portfolio commenced operations on January 31, 2006, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio commenced operations on June 29, 2007 and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio commenced operations on February 11, 2008. Each of the remaining 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 feeder funds’ proportionate interests 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 Global Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of foreign companies that have the ability to facilitate an increase in the growth of their traditional business lines and secondarily in U.S. companies benefiting from international economic growth. 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


162


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
research and drug development. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small capitalized 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 Market Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in capital markets or related to capital markets or in the gaming industry. The Water Infrastructure Portfolio invests primarily in securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies involved in water infrastructure and natural resources with a specific water theme and related activities. The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio utilizes a two-part investment strategy, investing primarily in fixed income securities, including debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies, and in derivatives. 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.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities (other than securities held by the Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio) 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 non-exchange traded 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. Exchange traded options are valued at the last reported sale price on an exchange on which the option is traded. If no sales are reported on a particular day, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. 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


163


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
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. Investment securities 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 June 30, 2009 0.03%, 0.29%, 0.00% and 0.00% fair valued securities were held by the Internet Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively.
 
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.
 
Options Written
The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolios may purchase or write options to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of equities. 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. 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


164


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
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). Realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations. 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 exercise price 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 and Illiquid 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 June 30, 2009 the Global Portfolio and Paradigm Portfolio had restricted securities with an aggregate value of $67,279 and $6,721,000 representing 1.88% and 0.49% of its net assets, respectively. An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Master Portfolio has


165


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
valued the investment. At June 30, 2009, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
 
                 
        Percentage
    Market Value   of Net Assets
 
The Internet Portfolio
  $ 24,393       0.03 %
The Paradigm Portfolio
    3,879,178       0.29  
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio
    2       0.00  
The Market Opportunities Portfolio
    0       0.00  
 
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.
 
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 331/3% 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 interests in the respective Master Portfolios.
 
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each


166


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2009, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2005 through 2008. The Portfolios have no examination in progress. The Portfolios are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next six months.
 
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. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
 
In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through August 28, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
 
3.  Investment Adviser
 
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) 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 Agreements, 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 six months ended June 30, 2009, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, The Market Opportunities

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Trust was allocated $12,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.
 
4.   Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts by Trustees of Kinetics Portfolios Trust
 
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on March 18, 2009, the Board, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the investment advisory agreements with respect to the Internet, Global, Paradigm, Medical, Small Cap Opportunities, Government Money Market, Market Opportunities, Water Infrastructure and Multi-Disciplinary Portfolios (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). In reaching a decision to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered, among others (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (2) the performance of the Master Portfolios over the previous three months as well as the one, three and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the median of their relevant Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) peer group(s); (3) the contractual and actual compensation to be paid under the Advisory Agreements as compared to the compensation paid to relevant Lipper peer groups; (4) the expense ratios of the Master Portfolios, with expense waivers, as compared to expense ratios for relevant peer groups of Lipper portfolios; (5) the experience and qualifications of the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s portfolio management capabilities and investment methodologies; (6) the Adviser’s operations, compliance program and policies with respect to the Code of Ethics; (7) the financial condition of the Adviser; (8) the cost of services to be provided by the Adviser and the Adviser’s profitability from each Master Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2008; (9) the “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Master Portfolios; (10) the extent to which economies of scale are relevant given the Master Portfolios’ current asset size and current asset growth potential; and (11) that each Master Portfolio other than the Government Money Market Portfolio, is designed for long-term investors. The Lipper peer group information was provided by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Company’s administrator.

In addition, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved, subject to shareholder approval, a new investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Water Infrastructure Portfolio with Brennan Investment Partners LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Board noted that William S. Brennan, the Water Infrastructure Portfolio’s current lead portfolio manager, would continue to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching a decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered their legal responsibilities with regard to all factors deemed to be relevant to the Water Infrastructure Portfolio, including, but not limited to the following: (1) the quality of services provided by Mr. Brennan as lead portfolio manager to the Portfolio; (2) the performance of the Portfolio; (3) the fact that the current lead portfolio manager will continue to manage the Portfolio; (5) the fact that the sub-advisory fees would be paid by the Adviser and would not affect the Portfolio’s expenses; and (6) other factors deemed relevant.
 
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Adviser in advising the Master Portfolios and the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser in sub-advising the Water Infrastructure Portfolio, the profits earned by the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Master Portfolio; and that each Master Portfolio was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale.
 
Based on the factors considered, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was appropriate to renew the Advisory Agreements and approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

6.  Portfolio Securities Loaned
 
As of June 30, 2009, 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, a 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
