Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011
 
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 September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
 
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 a 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, 2011 (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 the 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 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% to zero for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and 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.

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 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. Short-term debt securities are valued at market 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 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 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. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (August 31, 2007 – August 31, 2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
 
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.
 
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.

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 the Funds’ participation in inverse floater programs where a 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, the Funds receive the inverse floating rate securities and cash from the trust. As a result of certain rights retained by the Funds, 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’ expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. There were no interest and related expenses for the six months ended February 28, 2011.
 
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. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may distribute income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes.
 
The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended February 28, 2011.
 
The Funds receive earnings credits from their transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agent fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses on the statements of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.” For the six months ended February 28, 2011, the Funds earned the following under this agreement:
 
      Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Minnesota
  Delaware Tax-Free   Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
  Minnesota Fund       Intermediate Fund       Bond Fund
  $356   $77   $114

64
 

 

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%

Effective December 29, 2010, DMC has contractually agreed to waive that portion, if any, of its management fee and reimburse the Funds to the extent necessary to prevent total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any 12b-1 plan, taxes, interest, inverse floater program expenses, short sale and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations) from exceeding the following percentages of each Fund’s average daily net assets through December 29, 2011. For purposes of these waivers and reimbursements, nonroutine expenses may also include such additional costs and expenses as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Funds’ Boards and DMC. These expense waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by the Funds. Prior to December 29, 2010, DMC had voluntarily agreed to waive that portion, if any, of its management fee and reimburse Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual operating expenses did not exceed 0.70% of average daily net assets.

For the six months ended February 28, 2011, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions on redemption of each Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These commissions were entirely used to offset up-front commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares. The amounts received were as follows:
 
        Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Minnesota
    Delaware Tax-Free   Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
        Minnesota Fund       Intermediate Fund       Bond Fund

3. Investments (continued)
 
At February 28, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At February 28, 2011, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
 
                Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Minnesota
    Delaware Tax-Free   Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
        Minnesota Fund       Intermediate Fund       Bond Fund
Cost of investments     $ 561,555,426          $ 95,917,422            $ 140,507,248      
Aggregate unrealized appreciation     $ 16,889,669         $ 2,774,153         $ 2,630,270    
Aggregate unrealized depreciation       (14,498,902 )         (771,821 )         (6,880,582 )  
Net unrealized                                    
       appreciation (depreciation)     $ 2,390,767         $ 2,002,332         $ (4,250,312 )  

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Funds 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, 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)
   
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

68
 

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of February 28, 2011:
 
        Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund
    Level 1        Level 2        Total
Municipal Bonds   $   $ 561,859,796   $ 561,859,796

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 six months ended February 28, 2011 and the year ended August 31, 2010 was as follows:
 
        Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Minnesota
    Delaware Tax-Free   Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal
        Minnesota Fund       Intermediate Fund       Bond Fund
Six Months Ended 2/28/11*                                              
Ordinary income     $ 1,054,835       $ 5,714       $ 9,116  
Tax-exempt income       11,686,069         1,750,091         2,873,415  
Long-term capital gain       1,575,687                  
Total     $ 14,316,591       $ 1,755,805       $ 2,882,531  
                               
Year Ended 8/31/10                              
Ordinary income     $ 45,305       $ 17,672       $ 9,495  
Tax-exempt income       23,655,449         3,255,074         5,552,973  
Total     $ 23,700,754       $ 3,272,746       $ 5,562,468  

*Tax information for the six months ended February 28, 2011 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, 2011, 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     $ 561,732,978           $ 97,817,996             $ 145,767,616      
Distributions payable       (379,903 )         (54,789 )         (95,082 )  
Undistributed ordinary income       13,451                        
Undistributed long-term capital gains       3,258,244                        
Undistributed tax-exempt income       234,285           57,311           95,137    
Realized gains 9/1/10-2/28/11                 224,034           481,867    
Capital loss carryforward                                    
       as of 8/31/10                 (741,082 )         (4,326,723 )  
Post-October losses                 (235,099 )            
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of                                    
       investments       2,390,767           2,002,332           (4,250,312 )  
Net assets     $ 567,249,822         $ 99,070,703         $ 137,672,503    

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 and distributions payable.
 
Post-October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, the Funds 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 six months ended February 28, 2011, the Funds recorded an estimate of these differences since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.
 
                Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Minnesota

7. Line of Credit
 
The Funds, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $35,000,000 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. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The line of credit expired on November 16, 2010.
 
Effective as of November 16, 2010, the Funds along with the other Participants entered into an amendment to the agreement with BNY Mellon for a $50,000,000 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 new line of credit under the agreement as amended expires on November 15, 2011. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of February 28, 2011, or at any time during the period then ended.
 
8. Derivatives
 
U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
 
Inverse Floaters Each Fund 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 their 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, 2011, the Funds held no investments in inverse floaters.
 
9. 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

9. Credit and Market Risk (continued)
 
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, 2011, the percentages of each Fund’s net assets insured by insurers are listed below and these securities have been identified in the statements of net assets.
 
      Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Minnesota  
  Delaware Tax-Free   Minnesota   High-Yield Municipal  
  Minnesota Fund   Intermediate Fund   Bond Fund  
  21%   23%   15%  

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services (Moody’s), 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.
 
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, 2011, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the statements of net assets.
 
10. 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.
 
11. Subsequent Events
 
Management has determined no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 28, 2011 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Due to independence matters under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules relating to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC, DDLP and DSC) by Macquarie Group, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) has resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Tax-Free Funds and Voyageur Tax-Free Intermediate Funds (the Trusts) effective May 20, 2010. At a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trusts for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2010. During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Trusts did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trusts and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trusts nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trusts ’ financial statements.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011
 
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 September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
 
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 a 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 National Tax-Free Funds   February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)

Delaware Group® Tax-Free Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers two series: Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. Delaware Group Tax-Free Fund and Voyageur Mutual Funds are individually referred to as a Trust and collectively as the Trusts. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund and Delaware National 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. The Funds offer Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of up to 4.50% for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and up to 2.75% for Delaware Tax-Free USA 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 USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund; and of 0.75% for Delaware Tax-Free USA 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 be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges. Prior to June 1, 2007, Class B shares of the Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund were sold with a CDSC that declined from 4% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares were held. Class B shares of the Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately eight years after purchase. Class B shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund were sold with a CDSC that declines from 2% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares were held. Class B shares of the Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately five years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1%, if redeemed during the first twelve 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 the Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund is to seek as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax as is available from municipal obligations and as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital.
 
The investment objective of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal 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 (U.S. GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.
 
Security Valuation Debt securities 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. Short-term debt securities are valued at market 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 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 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. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (August 31, 2007 – August 31, 2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required for 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 gains (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 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 a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are

amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. 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 may distribute income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended February 28, 2011.
 
The Funds may receive earnings credits from their transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses on the statement of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.” For the six months ended February 28, 2011, the Funds earned the following under this agreement:
 
  Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware National High-Yield
  USA Fund   USA Intermediate Fund   Municipal Bond Fund
  $474   $577   $124
 
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 Tax-Free       Delaware National High-Yield
  USA Fund   USA Intermediate Fund   Municipal Bond Fund
On the first $500 million 0.550%   0.500%   0.550%
On the next $500 million 0.500%   0.475%   0.500%
On the next $1.5 billion 0.450%   0.450%   0.450%
In excess of $2.5 billion 0.425%   0.425%   0.425%

Effective December 29, 2010, DMC has contractually agreed to waive that portion, if any, of its management fee and/or pay/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, short sale and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations), do not exceed 0.56%, 0.60%, and 0.60% of average daily net assets of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, respectively, through December 29, 2011. Prior to December 29, 2010, the expense

limitations were voluntary. For purposes of these waivers and reimbursements, nonroutine expenses may also include such additional costs and expenses, as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Funds’ Boards and DMC. These expense waivers and reimbursement applies only to expenses paid directly by the Funds.
 
Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Funds. For these services, each Fund pays 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. The fees payable to DSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all Funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. For the six months ended February 28, 2011, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:
 
  Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware National High-Yield
  USA Fund       USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
  $15,212   $18,269   $5,121

DSC also provides dividend disbursing and transfer agency services. Each Fund pays DSC a monthly fee based on the number of shareholder accounts for dividend disbursing and transfer agent services.
 
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 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares for Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares for the Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and C for all the Funds. The Board for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 plan fees for the Fund’s Class A shares that went into effect on June 1, 1992. The total 12b-1 fees to be paid by Class A shareholders of the Fund will be the sum of 0.10% of the average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired prior to June 1, 1992 and 0.30% of the average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired on or after June 1, 1992. Effective April 21, 2006, the maximum amount of the Class A 12b-1 fees was reduced to 0.25% and the total 12b-1 fees to be paid to Class A shareholders of the Fund will be the sum of 0.10% of the average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired prior to June 1, 1992 and 0.25% of the average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shareholders will bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate based upon the allocation of the rates described above. Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service expenses. DDLP has contracted to waive distribution and service fees through December 29, 2011 in order to prevent distribution and service fees of Class A shares from exceeding 0.15% of average daily net assets for the Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund.

As provided in the investment management agreements, each Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to each Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the six months ended February 28, 2011, each Fund was charged for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:
 
    Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware National High-Yield
        USA Fund       USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
    $2,478   $2,560   $681

For the six months ended February 28, 2011, DDLP earned commissions on sales of each Fund’s Class A shares as follows:

        USA Fund       USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
    $18,012   $16,254   $52,064

For the six months ended February 28, 2011, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions on redemption of each Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These commissions were entirely used to offset up-front commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker-dealers on sales of those shares. The amounts received were as follows:
 
    Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware National High-Yield
          USA Fund       USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
Class A     $ 0       $ 0       $ 0  
Class B       706         0         20

Trustees’ fees include expenses accrued by the Funds for each Trustee’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC, DSC and DDLP are officers and/or Trustees of the Trust. These officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Funds.
 
3. Investments
 
For the six months ended February 28, 2011, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:
 
    Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware National High-Yield
         USA Fund        USA Intermediate Fund        Municipal Bond Fund
Purchases   $217,701,016      $193,003,835       $96,138,734  
Sales   186,737,006      183,968,684       74,365,878  

At February 28, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At February 28, 2011, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
 
    Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware National High-Yield
             USA Fund        USA Intermediate Fund   Municipal Bond Fund
Cost of investments      $ 636,324,171         $ 704,763,850         $ 210,828,404    
Aggregate unrealized                                
       appreciation     $ 23,552,673       $ 20,231,427       $ 2,645,664    
Aggregate unrealized                                
       depreciation       (21,697,671 )       (8,921,992 )       (13,123,956 )  
Net unrealized appreciation                                
       (depreciation)     $ 1,855,002       $ 11,309,435       $ (10,478,292 )  

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Funds 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, options contracts)
 
 
89
 

 

Notes to financial statements

3. Investments (continued)
 
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)
       
Level 3   –  inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
 
        Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware National High-Yield
Municipal Bonds     USA Fund   USA Intermediate Fund   Municipal Bond Fund
Level 2   $638,179,173   $716,073,285   $200,350,112

There were no Level 1 and Level 3 securities at the beginning or end of the period.
 
During the six months ended February 28, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Funds.
 
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 six months ended February 28, 2011 and the year ended August 31, 2010 was as follows:
 
    Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware National High-Yield
        USA Fund       USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
Six months ended 2/28/11*                                   
Tax-exempt income     $ 13,859,303       $ 12,424,433       $ 5,039,830  
Ordinary income       231,287         2,944         42,405  
Total     $ 14,090,590       $ 12,427,377       $ 5,082,235  
                               
Year ended 8/31/10                              
Tax-exempt income     $ 26,946,651       $ 20,788,197       $ 5,854,908  
Ordinary income       502,834         134,392         95,385  
Total     $ 27,449,485       $ 20,922,589       $ 5,950,293  

*Tax information for the period ended February 28, 2011 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, 2011, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
 
    Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware Tax-Free   Delaware National High-Yield
    USA Fund       USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
Shares of beneficial interest          $ 642,172,250             $ 729,549,802                  $ 220,729,679          
Distributions payable       (454,956 )         (372,905 )         (156,750 )  
Undistributed tax-exempt                                    
       income       521,851           389,131           129,670    
Realized gains                                    
       9/1/10 – 2/28/11       3,694,309           270,354           442,974    
Post-October losses       (2,592,785 )         (8,228,457 )         (2,310,166 )  
Capital loss carryforward                                    
       as of 8/31/10       (7,451,132 )         (5,699,308 )         (2,342,205 )  
Unrealized appreciation                                    
       (depreciation) of investments       1,855,002           11,309,435           (10,478,292 )  
Net assets     $ 637,744,539         $ 727,218,052         $ 206,014,910    

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of the net assets are primarily attributable to tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments and tax treatment of distributions payable.
 
Post-October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, the Funds 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 six months ended February 28, 2011, the Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund recorded the following reclassifications:
 
Undistributed net investment income       $(40,656 )
Accumulated net realized loss   40,656  

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, 2010 will expire as follows:
 
    Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware Tax-Free       Delaware National High-Yield
Year of Expiration          USA Fund      USA Intermediate Fund   Municipal Bond Fund
2011      $        $       $ 631,027  
2012                       980,742  
2015                       355,701  
2017       7,451,132         5,699,308         374,735  
Total     $ 7,451,132       $ 5,699,308       $ 2,342,205

7. Line of Credit
 
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $35,000,000 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. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The agreement expired on November 16, 2010.
 
Effective as of November 16, 2010, each Fund, along with the other Participants entered into an amendment to the agreement with BNY Mellon for a $50,000,000 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 new line of credit under the agreement as amended expires on November 15, 2011. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of February 28, 2011, or at any time during the period then ended.
 
8. Credit and Market Risk
 
The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities. The value of these investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the states, 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 the Funds. At February 28, 2011, 7.66%, 8.81%, and 2.66% of the Fund’s net assets for the Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, the Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, and the Delaware National High-Yield Municipal bond Fund, respectively, were insured by bond insurers. These securities have been identified in the statements of net assets.

Delaware National Tax-Free Funds
 
8. Credit and Market Risk (continued)
 
As of February 28, 2011, the Funds invested in municipal bonds issued by the state of New York which constituted approximately 16%, 13%, and 11% of the Fund’s portfolio for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, respectively.
 
Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), 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.
 
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 each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of February 28, 2011, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the statements of net assets.
 
9. Contractual Obligations
 
The Funds enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds has 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
 
Management has determined no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 28, 2011 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Due to independence matters under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules relating to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC, DDLP and DSC) by Macquarie Group, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) has resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Delaware Group® Tax-Free Fund and Voyageur Mutual Funds (the Trusts) effective May 20, 2010. At a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trusts for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2010. During the fiscal years ended Aug. 31, 2009 and 2008, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Trusts did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trusts and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trusts nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trusts’ financial statements.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011
 
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 September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011.
 
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 a 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 multiple state tax-free funds February 28, 2011 (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 Mutual Funds II is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund. Voyageur Insured Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds II, and Voyageur Insured Funds are individually referred to as a Trust and collectively as the Trusts. These financial statements and related notes pertain to 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 or, collectively, 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%. 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, 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 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%, 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 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 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. Short-term debt securities are valued at market 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 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.
 
92
 

 

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. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (August 31, 2007 - August 31, 2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the 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 — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 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 the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. The Funds may distribute income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
The Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended February 28, 2011.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
The Funds receive earnings credits from their transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agent fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses on the statements of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.” For the six months ended February 28, 2011, the Funds earned the following under this agreement:
 
    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
    $64    $45    $141    $76    $28

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   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
On the first $500 million   0.500%   0.550%   0.550%   0.550%   0.550%
On the next $500 million   0.475%   0.500%   0.500%   0.500%   0.500%
On the next $1.5 billion   0.450%   0.450%   0.450%   0.450%   0.450%
In excess of $2.5 billion   0.425%   0.425%   0.425%   0.425%   0.425%

Effective December 29, 2010, 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, taxes, interest, inverse floater program expenses, short sales and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations (collectively, nonroutine expenses)), do not exceed specified percentages of average daily net assets as shown below through December 29, 2011. For purposes of these waivers and reimbursements, nonroutine 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.

3. Investments (continued)
 
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Funds 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 investments 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, 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)
   
Level 3 –
inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of February 28, 2011:

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 six months ended February 28, 2011 and the year ended August 31, 2010 was as follows:
 
        Delaware       Delaware       Delaware       Delaware       Delaware

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, 2011, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
 
        Delaware       Delaware       Delaware       Delaware       Delaware

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax treatment of distributions payable and tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments.
 
Post-October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, each Fund has elected to defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year.

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis (continued)
 
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 and dividends and distributions. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the six months ended February 28, 2011, the Funds recorded an estimate of these differences since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.

7. Line of Credit
 
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $35,000,000 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. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The line of credit expired on November 16, 2010.
 
Effective as of November 16, 2010, the Funds along with the other Participants entered into an amendment to the agreement with BNY Mellon for a $50,000,000 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 new line of credit under the agreement as amended expires on November 15, 2011. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of February 28, 2011, or at any time during the period then ended.

8. Credit and Market Risk
 
The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities. The value of these investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the states, regional or local economic conditions, as applicable, 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 the Funds. At February 28, 2011, the percentages of each Fund’s net assets insured by bond insurers are listed below and these securities have been identified in the statements of net assets.
 
    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
    40.51%   20.02%   22.80%   31.78%   8.49%

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 Investors Service Inc., Standard & Poor’s Rating Group, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.

8. Credit and Market Risk (continued)
 
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 each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of February 28, 2011, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the statements of net assets.
 
9. 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 the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
10. Subsequent Events
 
Management has determined no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 28, 2011 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Due to independence matters under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules relating to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC, DDLP and DSC) by Macquarie Group, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) has resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds II, and Voyageur Insured Funds (the Trusts) effective May 20, 2010. At a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC (“PwC”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trusts for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010. During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Trusts did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trusts and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trusts nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trusts’ financial statements.
