For the six-month period from September 1, 2016 to February 28, 2017 (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 Sept. 1, 2016 to Feb. 28, 2017.
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 each 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.

Delaware Investments® state tax-free funds | February 28, 2017 (Unaudited) |
Voyageur Insured Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund. 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 Mutual Funds II is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund. Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund. Voyageur Insured Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds II, and Delaware Group State Tax-Free Income Trust are each individually referred to as a Trust and collectively as the Trusts. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania 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 (1940 Act), as amended, and offer Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) instead of a front-end sales charge of 1.00% if redeemed during the first year and 0.50% during the second year, provided that Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid a financial advisor a commission on the purchase of those shares. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.
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 taxes in the respective applicable 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 value (NAV) per share, as reported by the underlying investment company. 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 Trusts 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.
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
108
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 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. Management has analyzed each Funds tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (Aug. 31, 2013Aug. 31, 2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Funds 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 Each Fund is an investment company, whose financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. 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 certain 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 accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays 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 may be used to offset custody fees. There were no such earnings credits for the six months ended Feb. 28, 2017.
Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than $1.00, the expense paid under this arrangement is included on the Statements of operations under Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses with the corresponding expense offset shown under Less expense paid indirectly.

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to each Fund. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by each Fund and are also included on the Statements of operations under Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.
Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, each Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares (except for Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund). The Board for Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 fees for the Funds Class A shares that went into effect on June 1, 1992. The Funds Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (1) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (2) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All of the Funds Class A shareholders bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Each Fund pays 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares. Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service fees.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (Act), net capital losses recognized for tax years beginning after Dec. 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

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 entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Funds 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. (Examples: 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. (Examples: debt securities, |
114
government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) | ||
Level 3 | Significant unobservable inputs, including each Funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: 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.
The following tables summarize the valuation of each Funds investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Feb. 28, 2017:

5. Line of Credit
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $155,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used for temporary or emergency
118
purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.10%, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of relative net assets of each Participants 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. 7, 2016.
On Nov. 7, 2016, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $155,000,000 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, with the exception of the annual commitment fee. Under the amendment to the agreement, the Participants are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which is allocated across the Participants on the basis of relative net assets of each Participants allocation of the entire facility. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on Nov. 6, 2017.
The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of Feb. 28, 2017, or at any time during the period then ended.
6. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks
The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by each corresponding states 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 U.S. territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes. The value of the Funds investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the states or 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 certainty 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.

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poors Financial Services LLC (S&P), lower than Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 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.
Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed 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.
120
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.
Each Fund 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 issues 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 secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moodys, 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 promulgated under 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 Funds 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 Funds 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities held by the Funds have been identified on the Schedules of investments.
7. Contractual Obligations
Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each 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 Funds existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On Oct. 13, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended existing rules intended to modernize reporting and disclosure of information.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
PwC has informed the Trust that it has identified an issue related to its independence under Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the “Loan Rule”). The Loan Rule prohibits accounting firms, such as PwC, from being considered independent if they have certain financial relationships with their audit clients or certain affiliates of those clients. The Trust is required under various securities laws to have its financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm. PwC has informed the Trust that PwC has relationships with lenders who hold or own more than ten percent of the shares of certain funds within the Delaware FundsSM by Macquarie. These relationships call into question PwC’s independence under the Loan Rule with respect to those funds, as well as all other funds in the complex. The SEC has granted no-action relief to another fund complex in circumstances that appear to be substantially similar to the Trust’s (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter (June 20, 2016)). In addition, PwC has advised the Trust’s Audit Committee that PwC believes that under the facts and circumstances surrounding PwC’s lending relationships, its ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with its audit engagement with the Trust has not been impaired and that a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would reach the same conclusion. If in the future, however, the independence of PwC is called into question under the Loan Rule by circumstances that are not addressed in the SEC’s no-action letter, the Trust will need to take other action in order for the Trust’s filings with the SEC containing financial statements to be deemed compliant with applicable securities laws. Finally, the SEC has indicated that its no-action relief will expire 18 months from its issuance, after which PwC and the Delaware FundsSM by Macquarie will no longer be able rely on the letter unless its term is extended or made permanent by the SEC Staff.
