Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the period September 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period September 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009.

Actual expenses

The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount 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 section 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 section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund 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 tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Funds’ expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect. The expenses shown in each table assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Minnesota Municipal Bond Funds  February 28, 2009 (Unaudited) 

Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. Voyageur Tax-Free Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund. Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Tax-Free Funds and Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds are individually referred to as a “Trust” and collectively as “Trusts.” These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (each referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The above Trusts are open-end investment companies. The Funds are considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and offer Class A, Class B, and Class C shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of up to 4.50% for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and up to 2.75% for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if redeemed during the first year and 0.50% during the second year for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and 0.75% for the Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund if redeemed within the first year, provided that Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid a financial advisor a commission on the purchase of those shares. Class B shares may only be purchased through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges. Prior to June 1, 2007, Class B shares were sold with a CDSC that declined from 4% to zero for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and that declined from 2% to zero for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund depending upon the period of time the shares were held. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately eight years after purchase for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and approximately five years after purchase for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1%, if redeemed during the first twelve months.

The investment objective of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and from the Minnesota state personal income tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital.

The investment objective of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund is to seek to provide investors with preservation of capital and, secondarily, current income exempt from federal income tax and the Minnesota state personal income tax, by maintaining a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity of 10 years or less.

The investment objective of Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and the Minnesota state personal income tax, primarily through investment in medium- and lower-grade municipal obligations.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation — Long-term debt securities and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Generally, 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 each Fund’s Boards of Trustees (each, a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards”). 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 suspension of trading in a security. The Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before each Fund values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading or new events, may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Funds may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ 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 Funds did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

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

Delaware Minnesota Municipal Bond Funds

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Interest and Related Expenses — Interest and related expenses include, but are not limited to, interest expense, remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees’ fees from a Fund’s participation in inverse floater programs where the Fund has transferred its own bonds to a trust that issues floating rate securities with an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal of the transferred bonds. In conveyance of the bond, a Fund receives the inverse floating rate securities and cash from the trust. As a result of certain rights retained by the Fund, the transfer of the bond is not considered a sale, but rather a form of financing for accounting purposes whereby the cash received is recorded as a liability and interest expense is recorded based on the interest rate of the floating rate securities. Remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees’ fees expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund sold out of its inverse floater position on September 29, 2008. For the six months ended February 28, 2009, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund had an average daily liability from the participation in inverse floater program of $2,742,983 and recorded interest expense at an average rate of 3.47%.

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 Funds are charged directly to the Funds. 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. Each 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.

The Funds receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in custodian fees on the statements of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.”

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In accordance with the terms of its respective investment management agreement, each Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

            Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund Intermediate Fund Bond Fund
On the first $500 million   0.550%   0.500%   0.550%

On the next $1.5 billion 0.450% 0.450%   0.450%
In excess of $2.5 billion 0.425% 0.425% 0.425%

DMC has contractually agreed to waive that portion, if any, of its management fee and reimburse each Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding any 12b-1 plan expenses, taxes, interest, inverse floater program expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs and non-routine expenses or costs including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations (collectively, “non-routine expenses”)) do not exceed specified percentages of average daily net assets as shown below. For purposes of these waivers and reimbursements, non-routine expenses may also include such additional costs and expenses, as may be agreed upon from time to time by each Fund’s Board and DMC. These expense waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by the Funds.

            Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota High-Yield Municipal

       daily net assets (per annum) 0.67% 0.60%   0.64%
Expiration date 12/31/09 12/31/09 12/31/09

Prior to January 1, 2009, DMC had contractually agreed to waive that portion, if any, of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund’s management fees and reimburse the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding any 12b-1 plan expenses, taxes, interest, inverse floater program expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs and non-routine expenses) did not exceed 0.68% of average daily net assets.

Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay DSC fees based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion; 0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion.

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, each Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual distribution and service fee not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and C shares. DDLP has contracted to limit Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund’s Class A Shares 12b-1 fees through December 31, 2009 to no more than 0.15% of average daily net assets.

*DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of each Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. Such expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees for audit, legal and tax services, registration fees and trustees’ fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, each Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Funds by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

3. Investments (continued)

Effective September 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets

Level 2 – inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Funds’ investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of February 28, 2009:

      Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund   Intermediate Fund Bond Fund
Level 1   $ 8,436,988       $ 645,160        $ 276,665     
Level 2 570,363,057   73,157,011   127,755,223
Level 3        
Total $ 578,800,045 $ 73,802,171   $ 128,031,888

There were no Level 3 securities at the beginning or end of the period.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the six months ended February 28, 2009, and the year ended August 31, 2008 was as follows:

      Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund   Intermediate Fund Bond Fund
Six Months Ended 2/28/09*                                            
Ordinary income $ 57,092 $   $ 5,972  
Tax-exempt income   11,550,843   1,234,287   2,900,681
Long-term capital gain   2,415,335    
Total $ 14,023,270 $ 1,234,287 $ 2,906,653
 
Year Ended 8/31/08            
Ordinary income $ 351,958 $ $ 7,114
Tax-exempt income   24,713,343   2,197,419   5,742,991
Long-term capital gain   100,607    
Total $ 25,165,908 $ 2,197,419 $ 5,750,105

*Tax information for the period ended February 28, 2009 is an estimate and the tax character of dividends and distributions may be redesignated at fiscal year end.

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

The components of net assets are estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. As of February 28, 2009, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

      Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund   Intermediate Fund Bond Fund
Shares of beneficial interest     $ 592,086,159         $ 75,605,659         $ 147,678,641    
Undistributed tax-exempt income 244,528   44,120   91,449  
Distributions payable (385,531 ) (43,187 ) (91,584 )
Realized losses 9/1/08 – 2/28/09 (333,988 ) (129,724 )

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis (continued)

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments.

Post-October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, the Funds have elected to defer and treat as having arisen in the following year.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of market discount and premium on certain debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the six months ended February 28, 2009, the Funds recorded an estimate of these differences since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.

      Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free   High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund Bond Fund
Undistributed net investment income     $ (134,448 )               $ (4,047 )      
Accumulated realized loss 134,448   4,047  

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at August 31, 2008 will expire as follows:

      Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Minnesota
Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
Year of Expiration     Intermediate Fund Bond Fund
2009     $ 1,023,795           $ 1,267,552

2016   198,826
Total   $ 1,465,576 $ 2,547,560

For the six months ended February 28, 2009, the Funds had capital losses which may increase capital loss carryforwards as follows:

Delaware Minnesota Municipal Bond Funds

7. Inverse Floaters

The Funds may participate in inverse floater programs where a Fund transfers its own bonds to a trust that issues floating rate securities and inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) with an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal of the transferred bonds. The inverse floaters received by the Funds are derivative tax-exempt obligations with floating or variable interest rates that move in the opposite direction of short-term interest rates, usually at an accelerated speed. Consequently, the market values of the inverse floaters will generally be more volatile than other tax-exempt investments. The Funds typically use inverse floaters to adjust the duration of its portfolio. Duration measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. By holding inverse floaters with a different duration than the underlying bonds that a Fund transferred to the trust, the Fund seeks to adjust its portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Funds may also invest in inverse floaters to add additional income to the Funds or to adjust the Funds’ exposure to a specific segment of the yield curve. At February 28, 2009, the Funds held no investments in inverse floaters.

8. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $225,000,000 revolving line of credit with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The agreement expired on November 18, 2008.

Effective November 18, 2008, the Funds, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement with BNY Mellon for a $35,000,000 revolving line of credit. The agreement, as amended, is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The agreement, as amended, expires on November 17, 2009. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of February 28, 2009 or at any time during the period then ended.

9. Swap Contracts

Each Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in accordance with their investment objectives. The Funds may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Funds’ sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that each Fund invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Funds may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Funds on favorable terms. The Funds 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.

70


An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds’ 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.

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 each Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these agreements 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.

The Funds did not hold any swap contracts at the end of the period.

10. Credit and Market Risk

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities, mainly in Minnesota. The value of these investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the state, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that market value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund. At February 28, 2009, the percentage of each Fund’s net assets insured by insurers are listed below:

      Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free   Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund   Intermediate Fund   Bond Fund
31%   25%   15%

These securities have been identified in the statements of net assets.

Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (S&P) and/or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s). Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

10. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

The Funds may invest in advanced refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a “current refunding”. “Advance refunded bonds” are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains outstanding for more than 90 days following the issuance of the refunding issue. In an advance refunding, the issuer will use the proceeds of a new bond issue to purchase high grade interest bearing debt securities which are then deposited in an irrevocable escrow account held by an escrow agent to secure all future payments of principal and interest and bond premium of the advance refunded bond. Bonds are “escrowed to maturity” when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the original interest payment and maturity dates.

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract and are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moody’s, S&P, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.

Each 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 each 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, each Fund’s Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Funds’ 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of February 28, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the statements of net assets.

11. Contractual Obligations

The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
