Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Group Limited-Term Government Funds – Delaware Limited-Term Government Fund (Fund).

Security Valuation – U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Other long-term debt, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker and such prices are believed to reflect the fair value of such securities. Short-term debt securities having less than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities lending collateral, which is invested in investment companies, is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Generally, spread swap contracts and other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures, or with respect to foreign securities, aftermarket trading or significant events after local market trading (e.g., government actions or pronouncements, trading volume or volatility on markets, exchanges among dealers, or news events).

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" (Statement 157). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have a material impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

Effective June 29, 2007, the Fund adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in the recording of any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Class Accounting - Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of "settled shares" of each class in relation to the net assets of the Fund. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may invest in a pooled cash account along with members of the Delaware Investments^® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Fund's custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other - Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments^® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays such dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At September 30, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At September 30, 2007, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

Cost of investments	$255,053,638
Aggregate unrealized appreciation	1,068,791
Aggregate unrealized depreciation	(2,756,984	)
Net unrealized depreciation	$   (1,688,193	)

For federal income tax purposes, at December 31, 2006, capital loss carryforwards of $23,422,208 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows: $5,505,504 expires in 2007, $5,888,621 expires in 2008, $6,133,212 expires in 2012, $2,091,290 expires in 2013 and $3,803,581 expires in 2014.

3. Futures Contracts
The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. The unrealized gain (loss) is included in liabilities net of receivables and other assets on the Schedule of Investments.

4. Options Written
During the period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund entered into options contracts in accordance with its investment objectives. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Transactions in options written during the period ended September 30, 2007 for the Fund were as follows:

	Number of contracts			Premiums
Options outstanding at December 31, 2006	-			$	-
Options written	(450		)		(195,602	)
Options expired		300			125,714
Options outstanding at September 30, 2007		(150	)	$	(69,888	)

5. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and credit default swap (CDS) contracts in accordance with its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund's sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Fund invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Fund may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Fund on favorable terms. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Fund from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Fund receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund's sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts.

Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract.

A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (the purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (the seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event, as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.

During the period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses on swap contracts. Upon payment, such amounts are recorded as realized losses on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event or the maturity or termination of the agreement. For the period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund did not enter into any CDS contracts as a seller of protection.

Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. If the Fund enters into a CDS contract as a purchaser of protection and no credit event occurs, its exposure is limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty.

Because there is no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movements in the value of the underlying security, instrument, or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Statements of net assets.

6. Securities Lending
The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments^® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with Mellon Bank, N.A. (Mellon). Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by U.S. government obligations and/or cash collateral not less than 102% of the market value of the securities issued in the United States and 105% of the market value of the securities issued outside the United States. With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of the collateral held on any business day is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is invested in a collective investment vehicle (Collective Trust) established by Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust invests in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top two tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The security lending agent and the borrower retain a portion of the earnings from the collateral investments. The Fund records security lending income net of such allocation.

At September 30, 2007, the market value of the securities on loan was $39,276,428, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the Schedule of Investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

7. Credit and Market Risk
The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investments in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to Delaware Management Company the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. At September 30, 2007, no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Fund’s Liquidity Procedures. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the Schedule of Investments.

8. Change in Custodian
On July 26, 2007, Mellon, One Mellon Center, Pittsburgh, PA 15285, became the Fund’s custodian.

9. Name Change
On August 16, 2007, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved changes in the Fund’s investment objectives, investment strategies, and policies to reposition the Fund as a limited-term fixed income fund. In connection with these changes, as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, the Fund is changing its name to Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund. The Fund’s new investment strategies and policies broaden the types of fixed income securities the Fund may invest in, and permit the Fund to invest up to 20% of its assets in high-yield securities. The Fund’s current investment objective seeks to provide a high stable level of income, while attempting to minimize fluctuations in principal, and provide maximum liquidity. The Fund’s new investment objective will seek maximum total return, consistent with reasonable risk.

The changes to the Fund’s investment objectives, investment strategies, and policies will essentially create a different fund that does not primarily invest in U.S. Government fixed income securities. A complete description of the investment objective and investment strategies is included in the Fund’s prospectus, as supplemented.
