Economic backdrop

U.S. economic growth continued its uneven, but slow upward trend throughout the Funds’ fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2013.

It was a similar story with the employment picture, as the jobless rate continued to tick downward, yet remained high at 7.3% in August 2013. Weaker-than-desired jobs data and a benign inflation outlook led to the U.S. Federal Reserve keeping its target short-term interest rate close to zero, where it has been hovering for close to five years.

The Fed also continued to buy $85 billion worth of bonds a month, with the aim of lowering long-term interest rates and stimulating the economy.

Despite discussion among Fed officials about “tapering” the bond purchases this year, this program remained in place throughout the fiscal period.

Municipal bond market conditions

The municipal bond market posted reasonably even performance for the majority of the Funds’ fiscal year. However, bond prices began to decline between June and August, in conjunction with investors’ concerns as interest rates rose over the summer. Despite its earlier gains, the municipal bond market (as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index) lost approximately 3.7% for the Funds’ full fiscal year.

The rise in interest rates was one of two main factors affecting the performance of the municipal bond market during the Funds’ fiscal year. The second involved two well-publicized credit events. In July, the city of Detroit filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection, while in December 2012, credit rating agency Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) downgraded the

2



general obligation bonds of Puerto Rico from Baa1 to Baa3, the lowest tier of the investment grade bond universe.

The impact of this latter event on the municipal bond market was especially significant, as Puerto Rico securities are widely held by U.S. municipal bond portfolio managers (Puerto Rico bonds, like those of all U.S. territories, are generally exempt from income taxes in all 50 states). Investors feared an additional downgrade would precipitate substantial selling on the part of the many fund managers who face limitations on the amount of noninvestment grade debt that can be held in their portfolios. Consequently, Puerto Rico securities underperformed dramatically.

For the full fiscal year, securities with longer maturities and lower credit ratings significantly lagged their shorter-dated, higher-rated counterparts — the reverse of conditions seen in recent years — as investors proved less willing to take on either credit risk or interest rate risk.

In our view, the fundamental backdrop for municipal securities remained positive during the year, despite the overall price declines of the asset class. Although declining demand for municipal securities put downward pressure on prices, weaker-than-anticipated supply of new municipal debt counterbalanced these challenging performance factors.

Economic backdrop in the states

Economic characteristics across each state, briefly noted:

Arizona’s diverse economy is still slowly recovering from the global financial crisis. In July 2013, nonfarm employment was up 3% from a year earlier. While there has been some improvement in the economy, the unemployment rate remained elevated at 8% as of July 2013, well above the national rate. Arizona’s personal income per capita is below the national level.

The governor signed the 2014 $8.8 billion General Fund budget into law on June 17, 2013. This represents a 3.4% increase from fiscal 2013. Base revenues are projected to increase by 4.9%. However, one-time factors, including the expiration of the temporary $0.01 sales tax, would reduce 2014 collections by $253 million compared to fiscal 2013. This would result in an ending balance of $298 million and a Budget Stabilization Fund of $450 million. (Data: bls.gov; Moody’s; Arizona Joint Legislative Budget Committee.)

California enjoys a large, diverse, and wealthy economy that mirrors that of the nation. The gross state product is $1.8 trillion, which amounts to 13% of U.S. gross domestic product. In July 2013, nonfarm employment was up 1.6% from a year earlier, and the state’s unemployment rate improved to 8.7% from 10.7% a year earlier. Per-capita economic measures remain strong, with gross state product and personal income at 112% and 107% of the nation, respectively.

State revenues for fiscal 2013 came in 2% above budget and 19.9% above the prior year (in part due to temporary tax increases). Through the first two months of fiscal 2014, General Fund revenues were 2.7% below estimates but 7.4% above the prior year. The governor signed a $96.3 billion 2014 General Fund budget that provided for a $1.1 billion reserve. The budget found room for additional spending on education, social services, and healthcare. The budget overhauls the state’s K–12 system by

committing new funding to low-income districts and districts that primarily serve English-language learners. It also expands Medicaid to 1.4 million low-income residents.

Estimates suggest that the state’s wall of debt may be reduced to less than $27 billion at the end of fiscal 2013 and to less than $5 billion by the end of fiscal 2017. (Data: bls.gov; California State Controller’s Office; Moody’s.)

Colorado’s economy is diverse, with below-average employment concentration in manufacturing and a variety of service-sector strengths. In July 2013, nonfarm employment was up 2.7% from a year earlier, and Colorado’s unemployment rate was at 7.1%, slightly lower than the national rate of 7.4%.

Colorado is a wealthy state, with per-capita income equal to 110% of the U.S. average. Preliminary revenues for fiscal 2013 show 10.9% growth over fiscal 2012 and 5.8% growth over the March forecast. These revenues will permit the funding of a 5% statutory reserve and the funding of a $1.1 billion transfer to the State Education Fund.

The governor signed an $8 billion 2014 General Fund budget into law in April 2013. This represents a 6.8% increase over fiscal 2013. The budget projects that General Fund revenue will be $181.4 million greater than the required reserve at the end of fiscal 2014. (Data: bls.gov; Colorado Office of State Planning and Budgeting; Moody’s.)

Idaho’s economy has expanded and diversified in recent years, benefiting from population growth. However, an above-average dependence on the natural resource sector remains. In July 2013, nonfarm employment was up 2.7% from a year earlier, and the unemployment rate was low at 6.6%, down from 7.5% in July 2012. Idaho’s fiscal 2013 revenues came in 3.5% above budget and 6.3% above the prior year.

The state passed its $2.8 billion 2014 General Fund budget, a 2.9% increase over fiscal 2013’s budget. It included a 2% increase in education spending and a personal property tax relief package exempting the first $100,000 valuation of personal property taxes. (Data: bls.gov; Idaho Division of Management; State Controller’s website. Note that budget figures do not include expansion of Medicaid eligibility.)

New York has a mature, broad-based, wealthy economy that attracts a highly educated and global workforce. In July 2013, nonfarm employment was up 0.9% from a year earlier, and the unemployment rate was at 7.5%, slightly above the national rate.

State tax collections totaled $66.3 billion in fiscal 2013, 3.1% higher than fiscal 2012. This was just above February estimates but still below initial estimates due to unexpected costs from Hurricane Sandy. The state ended fiscal 2013 with a General Fund balance of $1.61 billion, 9.9% less than the prior year but still 9.2% more than the last financial projection. This includes a $1.4 billion combined balance in the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund and Rainy Day Fund.

Lawmakers signed off on a $135.1 billion All Funds Fiscal 2014 budget that closed a $1.3 billion gap with no new taxes or fees and actually cut taxes for businesses. Through the first four months of fiscal 2014, state tax collections were 13.3% higher than fiscal 2013 due to stronger personal income tax collections in April. (Data: bls.gov; New York Division of Budget; Moody’s; Office of the New York State Comptroller.)

Sticking to our strategy

Amid volatile market conditions, we kept our management strategy consistent. Our approach is known as a “bottom-up” way of investing, which means we consider securities one at a time, each on its individual merits. We conduct exhaustive research and choose the combination of bonds we believe offer a favorable risk-reward trade-off for the Funds’ shareholders.

Based on our confidence in our credit research, we maintained an emphasis on bonds with credit ratings of A and BBB, representing the mid-to-lower tier of the investment grade bond universe. We believe this segment of the marketplace may potentially provide better long-term value for diligent investors who are able to conduct the necessary research.

We also paid close attention to shifts in the market landscape, making subtle adjustments to the composition of the Funds’ portfolios that resulted in a somewhat more conservative position over time.

For example, roughly midway through the Funds’ fiscal year we believed it was prudent to protect the portfolios from a potential rise in long-term interest rates. This entailed modestly reducing the Funds’ exposure to longer-maturity securities. These shifts represented only subtle changes to the Funds’ portfolios.

Within the Funds

Some of the most notable detractors from the Funds’ performance were issued by Puerto Rico. Because Puerto Rico bonds generally provide investors with the same income-tax benefits as in-state municipal debt, these securities are often employed by state-specific portfolio managers to add diversification or to keep a fund 100% invested.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund each saw disappointing performance from their holdings in various Puerto Rico bonds, whose returns ranged from approximately -19% to -39% during the Funds’ fiscal year. Other Puerto Rico positions greatly hampered results as well. In Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, holdings in Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) bonds were significant underperformers, whose returns ranged from -24% to -38%. PREPA securities had lower-investment-grade credit ratings and suffered from investors’ worries concerning Puerto Rico.

Within Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund and Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, the laggard Puerto Rico bonds were issued by Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation.

On the positive side of the ledger, all of the Funds’ top-performing bonds were issued within their respective states:

  • Within Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, the strongest-performing securities were Maricopa County industrial development bonds issued to raise funds for the Phoenix West Prison; these bonds advanced by 5% during the fiscal year. Similarly, bonds for Aspen Place at the Sawmill Improvement District in Flagstaff also delivered a total return of approximately 5%.

Portfolio management review
Delaware Investments® state tax-free funds

  • Within Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, San Diego Redevelopment Agency bonds for the Centre City Redevelopment Project, rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), returned approximately 6% for the period. Multifamily housing bonds issued by the Santa Clara Housing Authority for the RiverTown Apartments project, rated A3 by Moody’s, posted a total return of approximately 5.5%.
     
  • Within Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, stronger performers included bonds issued by the Baptist Road Rural Transportation Authority to fund road improvements. These nonrated bonds, with a 2026 maturity date, rose approximately 13% during the fiscal period. To a lesser extent, the Fund also benefited from AAA/Aaa-rated Colorado Housing and Finance Authority bonds, reflecting the favorable market backdrop for higher-rated issues.
     
  • Within Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, strong performers included bonds issued by the Industrial Development Corporation of Power County. These BBB+/Baa1-rated issues, which were issued with a coupon of 6.45% and will mature in 2032, gained 6% during the Fund’s fiscal year, a rate of return that was matched by the Fund’s next-strongest performer, a local improvement bond issued by the city of Coeur d’Alene.
     
  • Within Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, nonrated New York City corporate-backed bonds issued for American Airlines returned approximately 14% during the Fund’s fiscal year. Another notable performer was a Nassau County tobacco settlement bond, whose revenue stream is secured by a settlement agreement between the tobacco industry and multiple states. This security, rated B- by S&P and due to mature in 2046, returned 13% during the fiscal year.

Performance for Class B and C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that contingent deferred sales charges did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

The “Fund performance” table and the “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a fixed income security that is held by the Fund may be prepaid prior to maturity, potentially forcing the Fund to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

Funds that invest primarily in one state may be more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, and other factors of that state than funds that invest more broadly.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Bond ratings are determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

2 The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Management Company has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees (excluding certain fees and expenses) in order to prevent total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding 0.59% of the Fund’s average daily net assets from Dec. 28, 2012, through Dec. 27, 2013. Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2013 to August 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

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 six-month period from March 1, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2013.

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 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 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.

(DDLP) paid a financial advisor a commission on the purchase of those shares. Class B shares may be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges. Prior to June 1, 2007, Class B shares were sold with a CDSC that declined from 4.00% to zero 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. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, if redeemed during the first twelve months.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and from personal income tax in its respective state, as is consistent with preservation of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation — Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. 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. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset values. 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 Board of Trustees (each, a Board, or 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.

114



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. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each 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. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (Aug. 31, 2010–Aug. 31, 2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements.

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

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 and the differences could be material.

Other — Expenses directly attributable to each Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated among 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 on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pay the dividends monthly and declare and pay distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Each Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the year ended Aug. 31, 2013.

Each Fund receives earnings credits from their transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than one dollar, the expense paid under this arrangement is included in dividend disbursing and transfer

U.S. GAAP 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 under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established 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-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 –  inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts)
   
Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
   
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

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. GAAP. 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 years ended Aug. 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware
Tax-Free Tax-Free Tax-Free Tax-Free Tax-Free
      Arizona Fund       California Fund       Colorado Fund       Idaho Fund       New York Fund

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

Qualified late year losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from Nov. 1, 2012 through Aug. 31, 2013 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund have elected to defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal 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 debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended Aug. 31, 2013, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications:

122



Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware

       net realized gain (loss) 11,663 5,876 (11,525 ) (6,013 ) 13,340

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. In 2013, the Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:

Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware

  Arizona Fund       California Fund       Colorado Fund       Idaho Fund       New York Fund
$— $— $581,559 $— $—

Capital loss carryforwards remaining at Aug. 31, 2013 will expire as follows:

2016 44,178
2019 369,988
Total $ $ 369,988 $ 1,089,764 $ $

On Dec. 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes were generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

Losses incurred that will be carried forward under the Act are as follows:

Loss carryforward character
      Short-term       Long-term
Delaware Tax-Free California Fund $ 49,068 $
Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund 1,373,594 50,117

7. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $125,000,000 revolving line of credit 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. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the agreement expired on Nov. 13, 2012.

On Nov. 13, 2012, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $125,000,000 revolving line of credit. The line of credit is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on Nov. 12, 2013. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of Aug. 31, 2013 or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by each corresponding state’s municipalities. The Funds invest primarily in a specific state and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes. The values of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected by new legislation

125



Notes to financial statements
Delaware Investments® state tax-free funds

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks (continued)

within the states, U.S. territories, 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 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 Aug. 31, 2013, the percentages of each Fund’s net assets insured by bond insurers are listed below and these securities have been identified in the schedules of investments.

Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.

The Funds may invest in advance 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 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

126



secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s, 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, the Boards have 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 securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the schedules of investments.

9. Contractual Obligations

Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund’s 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.

10. Subsequent Events

Effective Oct. 1, 2013, DDLP has contracted to waive distribution and service fees of Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund’s Class B shares to 0.25% of average daily net assets through Sept. 30, 2014.

Management has determined that no other material events or transactions occurred subsequent to Aug. 31, 2013 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of independent
registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Voyageur Insured Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds and Voyageur Mutual Funds II and the Shareholders of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund (constituting Voyageur Insured Funds), Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (three of the series constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds) and Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund (constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2009 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated October 19, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Board consideration of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund investment advisory agreements

At a meeting held on August 20–22, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”) included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (“Delaware Investments”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the costs of such services to the Funds, economies of scale and the financial condition and profitability of Delaware Investments. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided to the Trustees in May 2013 and included reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; the investment manager’s profitability; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, DMC’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

In considering information relating to the approval of each Fund’s advisory agreement, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. Although the Board gave attention to all information furnished, the following discussion identifies, under separate headings, the primary factors taken into account by the Board during its contract renewal considerations.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board considered the services provided by Delaware Investments to each Fund and its shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds, compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies and restrictions for the Funds, compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments Family of Funds complex and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of

130



the Funds’ investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s recent receipt of several industry distinctions. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenditures while maintaining service levels committed to fund matters. The Board noted that in July 2011 Management implemented measures to reduce overall costs and improve transfer agent and shareholder servicing functions through outsourcing. The Board noted the benefits provided to Fund shareholders through each shareholder’s ability to exchange an investment in one Delaware Investments® fund for the same class of shares in another Delaware Investments fund without a sales charge, to reinvest Fund dividends into additional shares of the same Fund or into additional shares of other Delaware Investments funds and the privilege to combine holdings in other Delaware Investments funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by Delaware Investments.

Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Lipper reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Lipper reports prepared for each Fund showed the investment performance of its Class A shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Lipper (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the poorest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2013. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe. The following paragraphs summarize the performance results for the Funds and the Board’s view of such performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund — The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional Arizona municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-, five- and ten-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the three-year period was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund — The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional California municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-, three- five- and ten-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was extremely satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund — The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional Colorado municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-year period was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the three- and ten-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the five-year period was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund — The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional other state municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one- and three-year periods was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the five- and ten-year periods was in the third quartile and second quartile, respectively, of its Performance Universe. The Board determined that the Fund’s performance results were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking effective action to improve Fund performance and to meet the Board’s performance objective.

Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund — The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional New York municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was extremely satisfied with performance.

Comparative Expenses. The Board considered expense comparison data for the Delaware Investments Family of Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Funds as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund versus effective management fees and expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Lipper (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. Each Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group. The Lipper total expenses, for comparative consistency, were shown by Lipper for Class A shares and comparative total expenses including 12b-1 and non 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered fees paid to Delaware Investments for non-management services. The Board’s objective is to limit each Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with that of the Expense Group. The following paragraphs summarize the expense results for the Funds and the Board’s view of such expenses.

132



Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Fund’s management fee, but noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through December 2013 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses of the Fund in comparison to those of its Expense Group as shown in the Lipper report.

Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee and total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through December 2013 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered waivers in place through December 2013 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee and total expenses were in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses of the Fund in comparison to those of its Expense Group as shown in the Lipper report.

Management Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by Delaware Investments in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of Delaware Investments’ business in providing management and other services to each of the

individual funds and the Delaware Investments Family of Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of Delaware Investments, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by Delaware Investments. The Board considered Delaware Investments’ efforts to improve services provided to fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which Delaware Investments might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Investments Family of Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the level of profitability of Delaware Investments.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by Delaware Investments as each Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed the standardized advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case on all assets when the asset levels specified are exceeded. The Board noted that the fee under each Fund’s management contract fell within the standard structure. Although the Funds have not reached a size at which they can take advantage of breakpoints, the Board recognized that the fees were structured so that when the Funds grow, economies of scale may be shared.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

     The registrant’s Board of Trustees/Directors has determined that certain members of the registrant’s Audit Committee are audit committee financial experts, as defined below. For purposes of this item, an “audit committee financial expert” is a person who has the following attributes:

     b. The ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals, and reserves;

     c. Experience preparing, auditing, analyzing, or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the registrant’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;

     d. An understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and

     e. An understanding of audit committee functions.
