Portfolio management review
Delaware Investments® Minnesota Municipal Bond Funds

Economic backdrop

As the Funds’ fiscal year got under way in September 2011, signs were mounting that the U.S. economy was gradually improving. While this situation was interpreted positively for economically sensitive asset classes, it was also expected to lead to higher interest rates — a negative situation for most types of bonds. By the second half of the fiscal year, however, it became clear that the economy’s momentum was stalling:

  • U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) — a measure of the goods and services produced by the nation — grew at an annualized rate of just 2.0% in the first quarter of 2012, down from 4.1% in the previous three-month period. In the second quarter of 2012, the rate of GDP growth slowed further, to an estimated 1.7%.
     
  • Job creation remained persistently sluggish, as the unemployment rate fluctuated within a historically high range of 8.1% to 8.3% between January and August 2012.

    (U.S. Commerce Department, U.S. Labor Department)

Although individual localities around the country continued to experience fiscal struggles, we did not view this as an indication of deeply rooted risk in the municipal bond market as a whole. Instead, we saw isolated cases of municipalities dealing with specific challenges unique to their circumstances (such as underfunded pension plans or weak revenue streams).

Outside the United States, elevated debt levels in several European countries — most notably Greece, Spain, and Italy — continued to foster the region’s economic volatility. European policy makers hoped to avoid the worst-case scenario of a breakup of the shared euro currency, which would likely result in a massive disruption to the global economy. As the Funds’ fiscal year progressed, it appeared that a tentative framework for resolution was in place, but financial markets remained highly sensitive to the uncertainty of a successful ending to this fiscal crisis.

Economic conditions within Minnesota

(Note: Data cited below are from sources that include: U.S. Labor Department, Minnesota Management & Budget, and Moody’s Investors Service.)

As the Funds’ fiscal year came to a close, the state of Minnesota exhibited a fundamentally sound economy that was reasonably diversified, with a mix of manufacturing, services, and trade industries. Nonfarm payrolls for July 2012 came in at 2.7 million, up 2.2% from July 2011 and higher than the national average of 1.4%.

While the state’s unemployment rate has historically lagged national unemployment, it has seen its unemployment rate increase in recent months; the jobless rate increased from 5.6% in June 2012 to 5.8% in July 2012.

Minnesota’s fiscal 2012 proved to be strong, with revenues surpassing estimates more than once throughout the year. According to estimates released in July, General Fund receipts for fiscal 2012 were up $336 million (2.1%) above earlier forecasts. The state projects a $1.05 billion budget gap for the upcoming 2014-2015 biennium, down from the previous forecast of $1.9 billion.

Municipal bond market conditions

The Funds’ fiscal year coincided with a beneficial environment for many municipal bond investors. Amid the sluggish U.S. economic backdrop and potential fallout

from the European debt situation, yields on U.S. Treasury debt stayed dramatically low. Investors therefore looked elsewhere for sources of competitive yield, and municipal bonds benefited from this attention.

Another factor helping to lift municipal bond prices was a favorable relationship between supply and demand. The relatively limited supply of tax-exempt bonds, paired with extremely strong demand from some investors, provided support for the asset class.

Several factors fueled the demand side of the equation. First, there were heavy flows back into investors’ hands through bond redemptions. Second, new inflows into municipal bond mutual funds remained high, as did demand from institutional investors. Institutional investors don’t often purchase municipal securities and don’t traditionally drive the market, but in this case they likely saw certain municipal bonds offering unusually attractive values relative to comparable opportunities among taxable bonds.

Another factor underlying the demand for municipal securities was investors’ search for higher yield amid a low interest rate environment. Accordingly, bonds that exhibited higher yields, including those with longer maturities and lower credit ratings, generally outperformed their counterparts. In fact, the best-performing maturity range of the municipal bond market (as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index) was 22 years and longer, which gained 14.52%, compared with an advance of just 0.89% for bonds with maturities of less than two years. Similarly, BBB-rated bonds were up 15.40% for the same time period, compared with a gain of just 6.07% for the AAA segment within that index.

Maintaining a consistent strategy

Across the Funds, we maintained a consistent management approach, emphasizing bottom-up security selection. We made investment decisions based on our research on individual bonds, instead of reacting to macroeconomic trends or trying to predict interest rate movements.

The Funds’ portfolios regularly emphasize A-rated and BBB-rated bonds and also maintain some allocation to bonds rated below investment grade. Simultaneously, they tend to underweight AAA-rated and AA-rated securities, as these higher-quality bonds generally offer fewer prospects to uncover hidden value.

Our comfort level with the Funds’ elevated weighting in relatively credit-sensitive securities stems from the thoroughness of our credit research process and our confidence in its ability to help identify tax-exempt securities that offer a positive risk-versus-reward tradeoff.

The Funds entered the fiscal year well positioned in our view, given the income being generated by certain holdings acquired in a higher interest rate environment during 2009 and 2010. We did not make major changes to the Funds’ portfolio holdings during the fiscal year. The majority of activity focused on investing new cash that came into the Funds. We invested opportunistically, taking advantage of individual securities that we believed fit into each portfolio’s respective structure.

One noteworthy source of bond supply during the Funds’ fiscal year was Puerto Rico, and in late 2011 we added a number of Puerto Rican bonds that we believed were priced attractively. With a large amount of Puerto Rican issuance coming to market in a

relatively short time period, we followed our rigorous research process in identifying what we believed to be meaningful additions to each Fund’s portfolio.

Notable sectors and securities

As we mentioned earlier, the best-performing bonds in the municipal marketplace were those with longer maturity dates and relatively lower credit ratings. By a similar token, the municipal bond market’s best-performing sectors were those composed predominantly of bonds with these characteristics.

The outperformance of lower-rated bonds proved favorable for our style of investing. Looking at the strongest individual contributors to each Fund’s results, we note that they are representative of the trend in which long-dated, lower-credit-quality issues enjoyed a performance advantage.

Within the Funds

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund benefited from owning a variety of bonds in the healthcare sector. Notable performers included nonrated senior housing bonds issued for the Marian Center, a St. Paul continuing care retirement community (CCRC), with a 2043 maturity date. Another strong performer was a healthcare bond for Guardian Angels Health Services, a CCRC in Sherburne County, maturing in 2036.

In contrast, relatively weaker performers included electric utility bonds for the Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency as well as local general obligation debt issued by the Morris Independent School District, the latter of which were short-dated, high-quality bonds. Both of these securities turned in positive gains for the year, but they lagged the overall gains posted by longer-dated and lower-rated securities.

The strongest-performing securities within Delaware Tax Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund included Minnesota Tobacco Securitization Authority tobacco settlement revenue bonds with a 2031 maturity date and an A- rating from Standard & Poor’s (S&P). The Fund’s strong performers also included nonrated Rochester healthcare and housing bonds for Samaritan Bethany, a CCRC. These securities bore a 2029 maturity date.

On the other hand, the Fund’s position in Minnesota state general obligation bonds was among the relative laggards, given that these securities maintained S&P’s highest credit rating of AAA and were scheduled to mature in 2015. Other underperformers included Minnesota 911 revenue bonds (part of a public safety project), which advanced mildly during the fiscal year, as their 2014 maturity date and AA+ S&P rating rendered them somewhat out of favor.

Within Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, the strongest performers included bonds for the Marian Center CCRC in St. Paul, as well as bonds issued for Orleans Homes, a residential homebuilder with a maturity date of 2042. In contrast, underperformers included Minnesota state general obligation bonds maturing in 2016 and Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency bonds maturing in 2012; both issues failed to gain much ground during the Fund’s fiscal year, due in large part to their near-term maturity dates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

High yielding, noninvestment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. The high yield secondary market is particularly susceptible to liquidity problems when institutional investors, such as mutual funds and certain other financial institutions, temporarily stop buying bonds for regulatory, financial, or other reasons. In addition, a less liquid secondary market makes it more difficult for the Fund to obtain precise valuations of the high yield securities in its portfolio.

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

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

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

2 The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Investments has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees in order to prevent total fund operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses) from exceeding 0.64% of the Fund’s average daily net assets from Dec. 29, 2011, through Dec. 28, 2012. Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements.

1 The “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph assumes $10,000 invested in Class A shares of the Fund on Aug. 31, 2002, and includes the effect of a 4.50% front-end sales charge and the reinvestment of all distributions. The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholders would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Expense limitations were in effect for some or all of the periods shown. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect. Current expenses are listed in the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 12. Please note additional details on pages 11 through 13.

The chart also assumes $10,000 invested in the Barclays Municipal Bond Index as of Aug. 31, 2002. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index measures the total return performance of the long-term, investment grade tax-exempt bond market.

Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Performance of other Fund classes will vary due to different charges and expenses.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from March 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012.

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.

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 4.50% for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and 2.75% for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if redeemed during the first year and 0.50% during the second year for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and 0.75% for 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. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1%, if redeemed during the first twelve months.

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 — Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. 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. 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, 2009–August 31, 2012), 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 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.

Delaware Investments® Minnesota Municipal Bond Funds

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Interest and Related Expenses — Interest and related expenses include, but are not limited to, interest expense, remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees’ fees from a Fund’s participation in inverse floater programs where the Fund has transferred its own bonds to a trust that issues floating rate securities with an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal of the transferred bonds. In conveyance of the bond, a Fund receives the inverse floating rate securities and cash from the trust. As a result of certain rights retained by a Fund, the transfer of the bond is not considered a sale, but rather a form of financing for accounting purposes whereby the cash received is recorded as a liability and interest expense is recorded based on the interest rate of the floating rate securities. Remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees’ expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. There were no interest and related expenses for the year ended August 31, 2012.

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 using the effective interest method. 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 year ended August 31, 2012.

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 year ended August 31, 2012, 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
$240 $52 $79

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:

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

DMC has contractually agreed to waive that portion, if any, of its management fee and reimburse the Funds to the extent necessary to prevent total annual fund 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) from exceeding the following percentages of each Fund’s average daily net assets through December 28, 2012. 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 and may only be terminated by agreement of DMC and the Funds.

At August 31, 2012, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes 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 $ 569,187,915 $ 105,255,165 $ 150,862,894  
Aggregate unrealized appreciation $ 51,867,627   $ 8,280,897     $ 10,016,382
Aggregate unrealized depreciation   (20,100 )   (30,704 ) (222,655 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 51,847,527 $ 8,250,193 $ 9,793,727

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

81



Notes to financial statements
Delaware Investments® Minnesota Municipal Bond Funds

3. Investments (continued)

participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – 

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts)

 
Level 2 –

other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

 
Level 3 –

inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, book values and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The 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 the each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2012:

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund
Level 2
Municipal Bonds            $ 619,070,442           
Short-Term Investments 1,965,000
Total $ 621,035,442

Total $ 429,529 $ 160,227,092 $ 160,656,621

During the year ended August 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Funds. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

Delaware Tax-Free Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund       Intermediate Fund       Bond Fund

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of August 31, 2012, the 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   $ 565,231,623     $ 105,093,096       $ 153,706,617   
Distributions payable (537,798 ) (77,922 )   (138,127 )
Undistributed ordinary income 548,251
Undistributed long-term capital gains 3,067,479 23,292
Undistributed tax-exempt income 386,802     80,444 138,127
Capital loss carryforwards (3,404,628 )
Qualified late year losses deferred     (18,352 )
Unrealized appreciation of investments 51,847,527 8,250,193     9,793,727
Net assets $ 620,543,884 $ 113,369,103 $ 160,077,364

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.

Qualified late year losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012 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 certain debt instruments and capital loss carryforwards expired. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended August 31, 2012 the Funds recorded the following reclassifications:

Delaware Tax-Free Delaware Minnesota
Delaware Tax-Free       Minnesota       High-Yield Municipal
Minnesota Fund Intermediate Fund Bond Fund
Paid-in capital      $            $                $ (25,904 )      
Undistributed (Distributions in excess of)    
       net investment income 68,506 3,523 75,369
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) (68,506 ) (3,523 ) (49,465 )

84



For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. $25,904 expired in 2012 for Delaware Minnesota High- Yield Municipal Bond Fund. In 2012, the Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:

Capital loss carryforwards remaining at August 31, 2012 will expire as follows:

Total $— $— $3,399,141

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

7. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $100,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The line of credit under the agreement expired on November 15, 2011.

On November 15, 2011, the Funds, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $125,000,000 revolving line of credit. The agreement is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The agreement expires on November 13, 2012. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2012 or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires 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 August 31, 2012, 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 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 August 31, 2012, 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       Minnesota       High-Yield Municipal
  Minnesota Fund   Intermediate Fund Bond Fund

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

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract 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 securities. 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 August 31, 2012, 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 that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2012 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of independent
registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Voyageur Tax Free Funds, Voyageur Intermediate Tax Free Funds and Voyageur Mutual Funds and the Shareholders of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund (constituting Voyageur Tax Free Funds), Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund (constituting Voyageur Intermediate Tax Free Funds) and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (one of the series constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2012, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2009 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated October 19, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Board Consideration of Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund Investment Advisory Agreements

At a meeting held on August 21-23, 2012 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each of the Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”) included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (“Delaware Investments”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the costs of such services to the Funds, economies of scale and the financial condition and profitability of Delaware Investments. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided in May 2012 and included independent historical and comparative reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; the investment manager’s profitability; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities in certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, DMC’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

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

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

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

Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Lipper reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Lipper reports prepared for each Fund showed the investment performance of its Class A shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Lipper (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the poorest/ worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended March 31, 2012. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe. The following paragraphs summarize the performance results for the Funds and the Board’s view of such performance.

Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund — Lipper currently classifies the Fund as a Minnesota municipal debt fund. However, Management believes that it would be more appropriate to include the Fund in the high yield municipal debt funds category, which would provide a comparison to a representative peer group based on credit quality instead of a peer group based on state of issuance. Accordingly, the Lipper report prepared for the Fund compares the Fund’s performance to two separate Performance Universes-one consisting of the Fund and all retail and institutional Minnesota municipal debt funds and the other consisting of the Fund and all retail and institutional high yield municipal debt funds. When compared to other Minnesota

92



municipal debt funds, the Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-, three- and ten-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the five-year period was in the second quartile. When compared to other high yield municipal debt funds, the Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one- and three-year periods was in the fourth quartile of the Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the five- and ten-year periods was in the first quartile. The Board observed that, when compared to other high yield municipal debt funds, the Fund’s shorter-term performance results were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking action to improve Fund performance and meet the Board’s performance objective.

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

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

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

Board Consideration of Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund — When compared to other Minnesota municipal debt funds, the expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second highest expenses of the Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of the Expense Group. When compared to other high yield municipal debt funds, the expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of the Expense. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through December 2012 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, creating an opportunity for a reduction in total expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered waivers in place through December 2012 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, creating an opportunity for a reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund - The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee and total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered waivers in place through December 2012 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, creating an opportunity for a reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Management Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by Delaware Investments in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of Delaware Investments’ business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Investments Family of Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of Delaware Investments, to a certain extent, reflects

94



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

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by Delaware Investments as each Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed the standardized advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case on all assets when the asset levels specified are exceeded. The Board noted that the fee under each Fund’s management contract fell within the standard structure. Although the Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund have not reached a size at which they can take advantage of breakpoints, the Board recognized that each Fund’s fee was structured so that when the Fund grows, economies of scale may be shared. The Board also noted that the Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund’s assets exceeded the first breakpoint level. The Board believed that, given the extent to which economics of scale might be realized by the advisor and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement provides a sharing of benefits with the Fund and its shareholders.

Tax Information

The information set forth below is for the Funds’ fiscal year as required by federal income tax laws. Shareholders, however, must report distributions on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include distributions for portions of two fiscal years of a fund. Accordingly, the information needed by shareholders for income tax purposes will be sent to them in January of each year. Please consult your tax advisor for proper treatment of this information.

All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly are subject to change. For any and all items requiring designation, it is the intention of each Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

Portfolio management review
Delaware Investments® National Tax-Free Funds

Economic backdrop

As the Funds’ fiscal year got under way in September 2011, signs were mounting that the U.S. economy was gradually improving. While this situation was interpreted positively for economically sensitive asset classes, it was also expected to lead to higher interest rates — a negative situation for most types of bonds.

By the second half of the Funds’ fiscal year, however, it became clear that the economy’s momentum was stalling:

  • U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) — a measure of the goods and services produced by the nation — grew at an annualized rate of just 2.0% in the first quarter of 2012, down from 4.1% in the previous three-month period. In the second quarter of 2012, the rate of GDP growth slowed further, to an estimated 1.7%.
  • Job creation remained persistently sluggish, as the unemployment rate fluctuated within a historically high range of 8.1% to 8.3% between January and August 2012.
    (Data: U.S. Commerce Department, U.S. Labor Department)

Although individual localities around the country continued to experience fiscal struggles, we did not view this as an indication of deeply rooted risk in the municipal bond market as a whole. Instead, we saw isolated cases of municipalities dealing with specific challenges unique to their circumstances (such as underfunded pension plans or weak revenue streams). Outside the United States, elevated debt levels in several European countries — most notably Greece, Spain, and Italy — continued to foster the region’s economic volatility. European policy makers hoped to avoid the worst-case scenario of a breakup of the shared euro currency, which would likely result in a massive disruption to the global economy. As the Funds’ fiscal year progressed, it appeared that a tentative framework for resolution was in place, but financial markets remained highly sensitive to the uncertainty of a successful ending to this fiscal crisis.

Municipal bond market conditions

The Funds’ fiscal year coincided with a beneficial environment for many municipal bond investors. Amid the sluggish U.S. economic backdrop and potential fallout from the European debt situation, yields on U.S. Treasury debt stayed dramatically low. Investors therefore looked elsewhere for sources of competitive yield, and municipal bonds benefited from this attention.

Another factor helping to lift municipal bond prices was a favorable relationship between supply and demand. The relatively limited supply of tax-exempt bonds, paired with extremely strong demand from some investors, provided support for the asset class.

Several factors fueled the demand side of the equation. First, there were heavy flows back into investors’ hands through bond redemptions. Second, new inflows into municipal bond mutual funds remained high, as did demand from institutional investors. Institutional investors don’t often purchase municipal securities and don’t traditionally drive the market, but in this case they likely saw certain municipal bonds offering unusually attractive values relative to comparable opportunities among taxable bonds.

2



Another factor underlying the demand for municipal securities was investors’ search for a higher yield amid a low interest rate environment. Accordingly, bonds that exhibited higher yields, including those with longer maturities and lower credit ratings, generally outperformed their counterparts. In fact, the best-performing maturity range of the municipal bond market (as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index) was 22 years and longer, which gained 14.52%, compared with an advance of just 0.89% for bonds with maturities of less than two years. Similarly, BBB-rated bonds were up 15.40% for the same time period, compared with a gain of just 6.07% for the AAA segment within that index.

Maintaining a consistent strategy

Across the Funds, we maintained a consistent management approach, emphasizing bottom-up security selection. We made investment decisions based on our research on individual bonds, instead of reacting to macroeconomic trends or trying to predict interest rate movements.

The Funds’ portfolios regularly emphasize A-rated and BBB-rated bonds and also maintain some allocation to bonds rated below investment grade. Simultaneously, they tend to underweight AAA-rated and AA-rated securities, as these higher-quality bonds generally offer fewer prospects to uncover hidden value.

Our comfort level with the Funds’ elevated weighting in relatively credit-sensitive securities stems from the thoroughness of our credit research process and our confidence in our ability to identify tax-exempt securities that offer a positive risk-versus-reward tradeoff.

The Funds entered the fiscal year well positioned in our view, given the income being generated by certain holdings acquired in a higher interest rate environment during 2009 and 2010. We did not make major changes to the Funds’ portfolio holdings during the fiscal year. The majority of activity focused on investing new cash that came into the Funds. We invested opportunistically, taking advantage of individual securities that we believed fit into each portfolio’s respective structure.

One noteworthy source of bond supply during the Funds’ fiscal year was Puerto Rico, and in late 2011 we added a number of Puerto Rican bonds that we believed were priced attractively. With a large amount of Puerto Rican issuance coming to market in a relatively short time period, we followed our rigorous research process in identifying what we believed to be meaningful additions to each Fund’s portfolio.

Notable sectors and securities

As we mentioned earlier, the best-performing bonds in the municipal marketplace were those with longer maturity dates and relatively lower credit ratings. By a similar token, the municipal bond market’s best-performing sectors were those composed predominantly of bonds with these characteristics.

The outperformance of lower-rated bonds proved favorable for our style of investing. Looking at the strongest individual contributors to each of the Funds’ results, we note that they are representative of the trend in which long-dated, lower-credit-quality issues enjoyed a performance advantage.

Portfolio management review
Delaware Investments® National Tax-Free Funds

Among the strongest-performing securities within Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund were Florida revenue bonds issued for Fort Lauderdale cargo acquisition projects. These bonds had a 2032 maturity date and a Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) credit rating of Ba2. Another notable contributor was an Ohio nonrated bond issued for senior-housing facilities, with a 2038 maturity date. Both of these bonds experienced significant price increases in tandem with what we saw as investors’ increased tolerance for credit risk.

On the other hand, the Fund’s relatively weaker holdings included Greene County, Mo., single-family mortgage bonds, which were rated Aaa by Moody’s and were set to mature in 2016. Other relative laggards included Ohio general obligation bonds with a December 2012 maturity.

Within Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, strong performers included the same Florida cargo acquisition bonds mentioned earlier. Another outperforming issue was a Modesto, Calif., special taxing district bond maturing in 2036.

In contrast, bonds with relatively weaker performance included Duluth, Minn., healthcare bonds that had a maturity date of 2014, and Pennsylvania general obligation bonds maturing in May 2013. Both of these securities turned in positive performance, but they trailed the stronger advance posted by longer-dated bonds.

The story was similar for Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, as its two top contributing securities were the same as those mentioned above for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund. In contrast, New York State Dormitory Authority personal income tax revenue bonds (maturing in 2024) and Massachusetts State Development Finance Agency revenue bonds for Harvard University (maturing in 2020) were among those that posted relatively weaker gains within the Fund’s portfolio holdings.

1 Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions and are presented both with and without the applicable sales charges described below. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund performance” chart. The current expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 6. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%, and have an annual distribution and service fee of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Board of Trustees (Board) 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 Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (i) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (ii) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shares currently 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. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Class B shares may be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges as described in the prospectus. Please see the prospectus for additional information on Class B shares. Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 4.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. They are also subject to an annual distribution

and service fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately eight years after purchase. Ten-year and lifetime performance figures for Class B shares reflect conversion to Class A shares after approximately eight years.

Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets.

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

Institutional Class shares are available without sales or asset-based distribution charges only to certain eligible institutional accounts.

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

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

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

High yielding, noninvestment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. The high yield secondary market is particularly susceptible to liquidity problems when institutional investors, such as mutual funds and certain other financial institutions, temporarily stop buying bonds for regulatory, financial, or other reasons. In addition, a less liquid secondary market makes it more difficult for the Fund to obtain precise valuations of the high yield securities in its portfolio.

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

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

2 The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Investments has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees in order to prevent total fund operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses) from exceeding 0.56% of the Fund’s average daily net assets from Dec. 29, 2011, through Dec. 28, 2012. Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements.

Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately five years after purchase. Ten-year and lifetime performance figures for Class B shares reflect conversion to Class A shares after approximately five years.

8



Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets.

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

Institutional Class shares are available without sales or asset-based distribution charges only to certain eligible institutional accounts.

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

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

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

High yielding, noninvestment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. The high yield secondary market is particularly susceptible to liquidity problems when institutional investors, such as mutual funds and certain other financial institutions, temporarily stop buying bonds for regulatory, financial, or other reasons. In addition, a less liquid secondary market makes it more difficult for the Fund to obtain precise valuations of the high yield securities in its portfolio.

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

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

2 The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Investments has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees in order to prevent total fund operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets from Dec. 29, 2011, through Dec. 28, 2012. Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from March 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012.

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.

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 4.50% for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and 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 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 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. 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 (Board). 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, 2009–August 31, 2012), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements.

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

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 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. 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 year ended August 31, 2012.

The Funds may 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 year ended August 31, 2012, 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
$337 $411 $116

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%

100



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 28, 2012. 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 reimbursement applies only to expenses paid directly by the Funds and may only be terminated by agreement of DMC and 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 year ended August 31, 2012, 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
  $31,549 $41,315 $14,699

DSC also provides dividend disbursing and transfer agency services. Each Fund pays DSC a monthly asset-based fee for these 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 of 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 Tax-Free USA Fund and 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 Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (i) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (ii) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shares currently 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. Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service expenses. DDLP has contracted to waive distribution and service fees through December 28, 2012 in order to prevent distribution and service fees of Class A shares of 0.15% of average daily net assets for the Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund.

As provided in the investment management agreement, each Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to each Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the year ended August 31, 2012, 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

3. Investments

For the year ended August 31, 2012, 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 $329,023,926     $388,387,914       $252,395,179  
Sales   349,249,568   326,634,141   99,419,965  

At August 31, 2012, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes 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 $ 588,095,457      $ 798,404,262             $ 389,096,901        
Aggregate unrealized
       appreciation $ 70,742,152 $ 69,819,502 $ 33,883,725
Aggregate unrealized                
       depreciation   (1,897,242 )     (331,525 )     (1,565,313 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 68,844,910 $ 69,487,977 $ 32,318,412

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

103



Notes to financial statements
Delaware Investments® National Tax-Free Funds

3. Investments (continued)

assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

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

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, book values and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The 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 table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2012:

Delaware Tax-Free Delaware Tax-Free Delaware National High-Yield
USA Fund USA Intermediate Fund Municipal Bond Fund
      Level 2       Level 2       Level 2
Municipal Bonds     $ 655,690,367      $ 864,897,239                $ 412,415,313        
Short-Term investments   1,250,000       2,995,000         9,000,000  
Total $ 656,940,367 $ 867,892,239 $ 421,415,313

104



During the year ended August 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Funds. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

Delaware Tax-Free Delaware Tax-Free Delaware National High-Yield
USA Fund       USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
Year ended 8/31/12                  
Tax-exempt income    $ 25,997,997         $ 24,880,939       $ 14,095,674
Ordinary income 52,761 11,932 48,201
Total $ 26,050,758 $ 24,892,871 $ 14,143,875  
 
Year ended 8/31/11  
Tax-exempt income $ 27,613,447   $ 24,114,589     $ 10,263,369
Ordinary income   358,078     2,942   62,675  
Total $ 27,971,525 $ 24,117,531 $ 10,326,044

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of August 31, 2012, the 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    $ 589,080,107        $ 811,637,025               $ 396,208,945

Distributions payable (638,536 ) (632,386 ) (434,550 )
Capital loss carryforward     (7,615,926 )     (3,615,640 )
Unrealized appreciation   68,844,910     69,487,977   32,318,412
Net assets $ 661,269,270 $ 873,525,311 $ 424,898,896

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

105



Notes to financial statements
Delaware Investments® National Tax-Free Funds

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

Qualified late year losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, each Fund has 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 and expired capital loss carryforwards. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended August 31, 2012, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund recorded the following reclassifications:

Accumulated net realized loss $ 1,037,034
Undistributed net investment income (56,292 )
Paid-in capital (980,742 )

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. For the year ended August 31, 2012, $980,742 of capital loss carryforwards expired for Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2012, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund utilized $3,756,823 capital loss carryforwards.

Capital loss carryforwards remaining at August 31, 2012 will expire as follows:

Delaware Tax-Free Delaware National High-Yield
Year of Expiration         USA Intermediate Fund       Municipal Bond Fund
2015        $                   $ 355,701          
2017     5,428,954         374,735  
Total     $ 5,428,954 $ 730,436

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

106



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

Loss Carryforward Character
Short-term       Long-term

7. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $100,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The line of credit under the agreement expired on November 15, 2011.

On November 15, 2011, the Funds, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $125,000,000 revolving line of credit. The agreement is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The agreement expires on November 13, 2012. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2012 or at any time during the year 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 August 31, 2012, 3.01% of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund’s net assets, 6.39% of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund’s net assets, and 2.04% of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund’s net assets were insured by bond insurers. These securities have been identified in the statements of net assets.

108



As of August 31, 2012, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California and New York which constituted approximately 12.93% and 22.20%, respectively, of the Fund’s portfolio. As of August 31, 2012, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California and New York which constituted approximately 10.99% and 14.11%, respectively, of the Fund’s portfolio. As of August 31, 2012, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California and New York, which constituted approximately 11.15% and 12.71%, respectively, of the Fund’s portfolio. These investments could make each Fund more sensitive to economic conditions in those states than other more geographically diversified national municipal income funds.

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 Investor Services, 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 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.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Investments® National Tax-Free Funds

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 securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the 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 each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2012 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of independent
registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Delaware Group® Tax-Free Fund and Voyageur Mutual Funds and the Shareholders of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund (constituting Delaware Group Tax-Free Fund) and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (one of the series constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2012, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2009 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated October 19, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Board Consideration of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund Investment Advisory Agreements

At a meeting held on August 21-23, 2012 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for each of the Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”) included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (“Delaware Investments”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the costs of such services to the Funds, economies of scale and the financial condition and profitability of Delaware Investments. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided in May 2012 and included independent historical and comparative reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; the investment manager’s profitability; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities in certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, DMC’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

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

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

112



pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the Funds’ investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of several industry awards, including being named best fund family for 2011 by Barron’s and best mixed asset small company by Lipper for the second year in a row. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenditures while maintaining service levels committed to fund matters. The Board noted that in July 2011 Management implemented measures to reduce overall costs and improve transfer agent and shareholder servicing functions through outsourcing. The Board noted the benefits provided to Fund shareholders through each shareholder’s ability to exchange an investment in one Delaware Investments fund for the same class of shares in another Delaware Investments fund without a sales charge, to reinvest Fund dividends into additional shares of the same Fund or into additional shares of other Delaware Investments funds and the privilege to combine holdings in other Delaware Investments funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by Delaware Investments.

Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Lipper reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Lipper reports prepared for each Fund showed the investment performance of its Class A shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Lipper (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the poorest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended March 31, 2012. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe. The following paragraphs summarize the performance results for the Funds and the Board’s view of such performance.

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

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

Board Consideration of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

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

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

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

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

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

114



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

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by Delaware Investments as each Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed the standardized advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case on all assets when the asset levels specified are exceeded. The Board noted that the fee under each Fund’s management contract fell within the standard structure. Although the Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund has not reached a size at which it can take advantage of breakpoints, the Board recognized that the Fund’s fee was structured so that when the Fund grows, economies of scale may be shared. The Board also noted that the Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund’s and the Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund’s assets exceeded the first breakpoint level. The Board believed that, given the extent to which economics of scale might be realized by the advisor and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under the Investment Advisory Agreements provide a sharing of benefits with the Funds and their shareholders.

Economic backdrop

As the Funds’ fiscal year got under way in September 2011, signs were mounting that the U.S. economy was gradually improving. While this situation was interpreted positively for economically sensitive asset classes, it was also expected to lead to higher interest rates — a negative situation for most types of bonds.

By the second half of the Funds’ fiscal year, however, it became clear that the economy’s momentum was stalling:

  • U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) — a measure of the goods and services produced by the nation — grew at an annualized rate of just 2.0% in the first quarter of 2012, down from 4.1% in the previous three-month period. In the second quarter of 2012, the rate of GDP growth slowed further, to an estimated 1.7%.
     
  • Job creation remained persistently sluggish, as the unemployment rate fluctuated within a historically high range of 8.1% to 8.3% between January and August 2012.

(Data: U.S. Commerce Department; U.S. Labor Department)

Although individual localities around the country continued to experience fiscal struggles, we did not view this as an indication of deeply rooted risk in the municipal bond market as a whole. Instead, we saw isolated cases of municipalities dealing with specific challenges unique to their circumstances (such as underfunded pension plans or weak revenue streams).

Outside the United States, elevated debt levels in several European countries — most notably Greece, Spain, and Italy — continued to foster the region’s economic volatility. European policy makers hoped to avoid the worst-case scenario of a breakup of the shared euro currency, which would likely result in a massive disruption to the global economy. As the Funds’ fiscal year progressed, it appeared that a tentative framework for resolution was in place, but financial markets remained highly sensitive to the uncertainty of a successful ending to this fiscal crisis.

Economic conditions within each state, briefly noted

Arizona’s diverse economy is slowly recovering from the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 that has shaken economies for the past several years. Weakness remains likely in the short term, due largely to the damaging effects of a protracted housing bubble. Other notable developments:

  • July’s nonfarm employment reading of 2.39 million was up 2.4% from July 2011, higher than the nation’s 1.4% gain. Unemployment figures have begun to improve, with a July 2012 unemployment rate of 8.3% (compared to a rate of 9.4% one year earlier).
     
  • State revenues totaled $9.8 billion for fiscal 2011, an 18% increase from the year before. This was mostly accounted for by sales taxes and income taxes. Through the first 11 months of fiscal 2012, revenues are coming in 0.8% higher than expected and 6% higher than fiscal 2011.

(Data: U.S. Labor Department; Moody’s Investors Service)

California enjoys a large, diverse, and wealthy economy that accounts for 13% of U.S. gross domestic product. It shares much of the economic unsteadiness that has been felt nationwide. While the state’s unemployment rate has improved somewhat (from 12% in July 2011 to 10.7% in July 2012), it remains well above the national rate.

The governor signed a $91.3 billion 2013 General Fund budget that closed a $15.7 billion budget gap through revenue increases and expenditure cuts. In total, the budget reduces expenditures by $8.1 billion. The majority of the spending cuts are focused on health and human services, education, and the court system. If temporary taxes (which will be put to a popular vote in November 2012) are not approved, an additional $5.95 billion in cuts will be triggered. These cuts would be effective January 1, 2013.

(Data: U.S. Labor Department; California State Controller monthly financial reports; Moody’s Investors Service)

Colorado maintains a diverse economy, with a variety of strengths in the broad service sector. Generally speaking, Colorado remains a wealthy state, with per-capita income equal to 105% of the national average. The state’s nonfarm employment reading for July 2012 came in at 2.3 million, up by 1.6% from July 2011. Total revenues for fiscal 2012 are estimated to increase by 7.8% over fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2013, the state’s budget of $7.4 billion represents a 5.8% increase over fiscal 2012.

Delaware Investments® state tax-free funds

In Idaho, July 2012 nonfarm employment came in at 619,000, up 1.3% from July 2011. Idaho’s economy continued to grow more diversified; however, it still has an above-average dependence on the natural resource sector.

Idaho’s governor signed a $2.7 billion 2013 General Fund budget in April 2012, representing a 6.8% increase over fiscal 2012. The budget includes $36 million in tax relief that reduces the top corporate and individual tax rates from 7.6% and 7.8%, respectively, to 7.4% each.

(Data: U.S. Labor Department; Idaho Division of Financial Management; www.sco.idaho.gov)

New York continued to exhibit a mature, broad-based, and wealthy economy that typically attracts a highly educated and global workforce. July 2012 readings for nonfarm employment came in at 8.84 million, up 1.3% from July 2011. Other notable circumstances:

  • The state’s unemployment rate in July 2012 was 9.1%, higher than the national rate and above the state’s July 2011 rate of 8%.
     
  • Revenues for the state’s 2012 fiscal year totaled $56.9 billion, 4.6% higher than fiscal 2011 but $314 million lower than projections.
     
  • The state ended fiscal 2012 with a General Fund balance of $1.79 billion, an increase over fiscal 2011.
     
  • Lawmakers signed off on a $132.6 billion budget that cuts spending by $135 million and includes no new taxes.
    The budget closes what was once a $3.5 billion deficit, a process made easier when lawmakers in December approved a tax increase on joint earners earning at least $2 million annually.

Municipal bond market conditions

The Funds’ fiscal year coincided with a beneficial environment for many municipal bond investors. Amid the sluggish U.S. economic backdrop and potential fallout from the European debt situation, yields on U.S. Treasury debt stayed dramatically low. Investors therefore looked elsewhere for sources of competitive yield, and municipal bonds benefited from this attention.

Another factor helping to lift municipal bond prices was a favorable relationship between supply and demand. The relatively limited supply of tax-exempt bonds, paired with extremely strong demand from some investors, provided support for the asset class. Several factors fueled the demand side of the equation. First, there were heavy flows back into investors’ hands through bond redemptions. Second, new inflows into municipal bond mutual funds remained high, as did demand from institutional investors. Institutional investors don’t often purchase municipal securities and don’t traditionally drive the market, but in this case they likely saw certain municipal bonds offering unusually attractive values relative to comparable opportunities among taxable bonds.

Another factor underlying the demand for municipal securities was investors’ search for higher yield in a low interest rate environment. Accordingly, bonds that exhibited higher yields, including those with longer maturities and lower credit ratings, generally outperformed their

4



counterparts. In fact, the best-performing maturity range of the municipal bond market (as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index) was 22 years and longer, which gained 14.52%, compared with an advance of just 0.89% for bonds with maturities of less than two years. Similarly, BBB-rated bonds were up 15.40% for the same time period, compared with a gain of just 6.07% for the AAA segment within that index.

Maintaining a consistent strategy

Across the Funds, we maintained a consistent management approach, emphasizing bottom-up security selection. We made investment decisions based on our research on individual bonds, instead of reacting to macroeconomic trends or trying to predict interest rate movements.

The Funds’ portfolios regularly emphasize A-rated and BBB-rated bonds and also maintain some allocation to bonds rated below investment grade. Simultaneously, they tend to underweight AAA-rated and AA-rated securities, as these higher-quality bonds generally offer fewer prospects to uncover hidden value.

Our comfort level with the Funds’ elevated weighting in relatively credit-sensitive securities stems from the thoroughness of our credit research process and our confidence in its ability to identify tax-exempt securities that offer a positive risk-versus-reward tradeoff.

The Funds entered the fiscal year well positioned in our view, given the income being generated by certain holdings acquired in a higher interest rate environment during 2009 and 2010. We did not make major changes to the Funds’ portfolio holdings during the fiscal year. The majority of activity focused on investing new cash that came into the Funds. We invested opportunistically, taking advantage of individual securities that we believed fit into each portfolio’s respective structure.

One noteworthy source of bond supply during the Funds’ fiscal year was Puerto Rico, and in late 2011 we added a number of Puerto Rican bonds that we believed were priced attractively. With a large amount of Puerto Rican issuance coming to market in a relatively short time period, we followed our rigorous research process in identifying what we believed to be meaningful additions to each Fund’s portfolio.

Notable sectors and securities

As mentioned earlier, bonds with longer maturity dates and relatively lower credit ratings generally performed better, a phenomenon reflected in breakdowns of market performance by maturity and by credit rating.

The outperformance of lower-rated bonds proved favorable for our style of investing. The strongest individual contributors to each of the Funds’ total-return results were notable for being representative of the trend in which long-dated, lower-credit-quality issues enjoyed a performance advantage.

The two strongest-performing individual contributors in Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund included healthcare bonds for the John C. Lincoln Hospital in Glendale, maturing in 2042 and rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s (S&P). Outperformers also included education bonds for Tucson Country Day School in Pima County, maturing in 2037 and rated BBB- by S&P. Among the Fund’s weakest contributors were AA-rated civic improvement bonds for a Phoenix light-rail transit project

Portfolio management review
Delaware Investments® state tax-free funds

and AAA-rated Arizona State Transportation Board highway revenue bonds. Both bonds struggled as their higher quality ratings made them less desirable to increasingly risk-tolerant investors. These securities contributed relatively weakly to the Fund’s overall return but nevertheless recorded positive gains.

Within Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, lower-rated, longer-dated securities once again provided the biggest support to Fund returns. The strongest contributors included nonrated Modesto County special tax bonds maturing in 2036 and Golden State tobacco securitization bonds maturing in 2047. To highlight the importance of maturity date on bond performance during the fiscal year, we note that the Fund’s positions in other Golden State tobacco securitization bonds, which were scheduled to mature in 2013, achieved very modest returns.

Within Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, the strongest performers included Denver Health & Hospital Authority healthcare bonds, which were rated BBB by S&P and scheduled to mature in 2036. In addition, Denver Convention Center Hotel Authority revenue bonds, rated BBB- by S&P and maturing in 2035, made a significant contribution to performance. In contrast, notably weaker performers included two school district bonds, both of which carried near-term maturity dates that may have limited their attractiveness to many investors.

Within Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, the strongest contributors included Virgin Islands Public Finance Authority revenue bonds (rated BBB by S&P and maturing in 2029), as well as nonrated developmental district bonds maturing in 2034. In both cases, relatively low ratings and long maturity dates helped performance. On the other hand, the Fund’s weakest-performing bonds included revenue bonds for Idaho State University (rated AA+ by S&P and maturing in 2020), and Bannock County school district bonds (rated Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and maturing in 2015). We believe both issues were held back by their high credit quality and near-term maturity dates.

Finally, the strongest-performing bonds within Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund included nonrated bonds issued by the East Rochester Housing Authority for Woodland Village (a continuing care retirement community), and industrial development bonds for Brighter Choice Charter School in Albany (rated BBB- by Fitch and maturing in 2037). Relatively weaker performers, meanwhile, included Battery Park City municipal lease bonds (with a 2014 call date and AAA rating by S&P) and Puerto Rico highway general obligation bonds (with a 2016 call date and Aaa rating by Moody’s). These securities appeared to be out of favor in the marketplace, given their high credit ratings and short maturity dates.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from March 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012.

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.

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 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 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 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 from personal income tax in its respective state, as is consistent with preservation of capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation — Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset 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.

114



Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. 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, 2009–August 31, 2012), 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 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 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 using the effective interest method. The Funds declare dividends daily from net investment income and pay the dividends monthly and declare and pay distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. 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 year ended August 31, 2012.

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, exchange-traded options contracts)

119



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

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, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
 
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)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Funds 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 Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2012:

      Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund
Level 2
Municipal Bonds $ 107,973,319

During the year ended August 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Funds. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware Delaware
Tax-Free Tax-Free Tax-Free Tax-Free Tax-Free
      Arizona Fund       California Fund       Colorado Fund       Idaho Fund       New York Fund
Year Ended 8/31/12

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

Qualified late year losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulation, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund has elected to defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year.

122



For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications:

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
Undistributed

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. In 2012, the Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:

Delaware Delaware Delaware
  Tax-Free Tax-Free Tax-Free
      California Fund       Colorado Fund       New York Fund
$139,322 $1,141,379 $28,006

Capital loss carryforwards remaining at August 31, 2012 will expire as follows:

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

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

      Loss carryforward character

7. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $100,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The line of credit under the agreement expired on November 15, 2011.

On November 15, 2011, the Funds, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $125,000,000 revolving line of credit. The agreement is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The agreement expires on November 13, 2012. The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2012 or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Credit and Market Risk

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities. The values 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 each Fund. At August 31, 2012, 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

      Arizona Fund       California Fund       Colorado Fund       Idaho Fund       New York Fund
26.40% 8.54% 23.17% 20.27% 4.33%

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

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract 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, Standard & Poor’s, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, 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

126



securities. 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 August 31, 2012, 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 each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2012 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of independent
registered public accounting firm

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

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund (constituting Voyageur Insured Funds), Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (three of the series constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds) and Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund (constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2012, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2009 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated October 19, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Board Consideration of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund Investment Advisory Agreements

At a meeting held on August 21–23, 2012 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for each of the Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”) included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (“Delaware Investments”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the costs of such services to the Funds, economies of scale and the financial condition and profitability of Delaware Investments. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided in May 2012 and included independent historical and comparative reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; the investment manager’s profitability; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities in certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, DMC’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

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

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

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

Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Lipper reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Lipper reports prepared for each Fund showed the investment performance of its Class A shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Lipper (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the poorest/ worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended March 31, 2012. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe. The following paragraphs summarize the performance results for the Funds and the Board’s view of such performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund — The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional Arizona municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-year period was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the three- and five-year periods was in the second quartile and the Fund’s total return for the ten-year period was in the first quartile. The Fund’s performance results were mixed but tended toward median, which was acceptable.

130



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

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

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund — The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional other state municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one- and three-year periods was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the five- and ten-year periods was in the first quartile. The Board determined that the Fund’s performance results were mixed. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking effective action to improve Fund performance and meet the Board’s performance objective.

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

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

12b-1 service fees. The Board considered fees paid to Delaware Investments for non-management services. The Board’s objective is to limit each Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with that of the Expense Group. The following paragraphs summarize the expense results for the Funds and the Board’s view of such expenses.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Fund’s management fee, but noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through December 2012 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, creating an opportunity for a reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

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

Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through December 2012 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, creating an opportunity for a reduction in expenses. Consequently, the Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund — The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee and total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered waivers in place through December 2012 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services, creating an opportunity for a reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

132



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

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

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