Economic backdrop

The U.S. economy continued to grow steadily throughout the Funds’ fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2015. The economy benefited from increased business investment and consumer spending, made possible in part by a sharp drop in the price of oil. A steadily improving job market also lifted consumer optimism. As of August 2015, the national jobless rate was 5.1%, down a full percentage point from a year earlier and the lowest level since early 2008. (Source: U.S. Labor Department.)

In the third quarter of 2014, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of national economic output – grew by a rapid 4.3% annual pace. This was followed by a 2.1% expansion in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, the economy significantly slowed, as bad winter weather and shipping disruptions at West Coast ports depressed economic activity. These trends reversed in the second quarter of 2015, with continued strength in consumer spending helping to grow the economy by an estimated 3.7% in April–June. (Source: U.S. Commerce Department.)

With the U.S. economy strengthening and inflation well contained, the U.S. Federal Reserve finally ended its quantitative-easing economic stimulus plan in October 2014.

The Fed maintained its target short-term rate at essentially zero – where it has been since 2008 – for the duration of the Funds’ fiscal year. However, as the period ended, investors widely anticipated a rate increase even as emerging concerns about the global economy added uncertainty to the central bank’s timetable.

Municipal bond market conditions

Municipal bonds produced positive returns overall for the Funds’ fiscal year. Over the entire period, bonds with longer maturity dates outperformed their shorter-maturity counterparts, while lower-

rated bonds offering higher yields fared better than higher-rated, lower yielding issues.

Municipal bond returns, by maturity and credit quality, for the 12 months ended Aug. 31, 2015, were as follows:

 

Maturity

      

5 years

     1.18

10 years

     2.47

22+ years

     4.02

Credit quality

      

AAA

     1.85

AA

     2.40

A

     2.75

BBB

     3.92

Source: Barclays

One exception to this trend came from bonds with credit ratings below BBB – also known as below-investment-grade, or high yield, bonds – which had flat returns, as measured by the Barclays High-Yield Municipal Bond Index, which tracks the total return performance of the long-term, non-investment-grade tax-exempt bond market. Nearly all of this relative underperformance, however, was caused by the weakness of bonds affiliated with Puerto Rico, which make up approximately 24% of the index. (Bonds issued by U.S. territories are exempt from federal, state, and local income taxes for residents of all 50 states.) Puerto Rico’s longstanding credit problems worsened during the Funds’ fiscal year, as the commonwealth filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2015. If Puerto Rico bonds were removed from the index, high yield returns would have kept with the credit trend by posting gains of 6.75%. The Funds held no Puerto Rico bonds during the fiscal year.

Toward the end of the Funds’ fiscal year, the market environment shifted for municipal bond investors. Uncertainty grew about the global economy – especially with respect to China and other emerging markets – causing increased

market volatility, as investors became more risk averse. Accordingly, shorter-dated, higher-rated tax-exempt bonds returned to favor, while longer-maturity, lower-quality issues found themselves at a disadvantage as the period ended.

Demand for municipal bonds was robust as the fiscal year began, but tailed off as the period progressed. Toward the end of the period, however, municipal bond fund outflows grew as investors began to anticipate an increase in the Fed’s target short-term interest rate. Meanwhile, the supply of new long-term municipal debt remained constrained. Despite considerable issuance, much of the new supply consisted of debt refinancing, as issuers took advantage of still-low borrowing costs to lower their long-term interest expenses.

Sticking to our strategy

For all three Funds discussed in this report, we maintained the consistent management approach we follow in all types of market conditions, relying on a bottom-up investment strategy. We evaluate securities one at a time, working with our credit analysts to determine through careful research which bonds we believe offer our shareholders the most favorable risk-reward trade-off and income potential.

Applying this approach, we continued to favor bonds with lower-investment-grade or below-investment-grade credit ratings, the segment in which we believe our credit research capabilities may prove most beneficial. Accordingly, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund maintained sizeable allocations to bonds with credit ratings of A and BBB – the two lowest tiers of the investment-grade bond universe – as well as to below-investment-grade bonds. By prospectus, up to 20% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund can be held in this latter category. To the extent that we were able to

find what we viewed as attractive opportunities within the Minnesota municipal marketplace, we used a portion of this allotment, as we identified various lower-rated bonds that we believed appeared poised to benefit from credit improvement.

Meanwhile, reflecting its different mandate, Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund has substantial flexibility to invest in bonds with below-investment-grade credit ratings. At fiscal year end, 33.42% of the portfolio was invested in bonds with credit ratings of BB or lower, up from the 29.77% at the start of the period.

Throughout the period, we maintained a roughly neutral duration (interest rate) stance in all three Funds relative to their benchmarks. This approach reflected our belief in our disciplined credit selection process, rather than any attempt to anticipate the direction of interest rates. The Funds purchased new bonds across various sectors during the fiscal year, including the charter school and healthcare sectors – two areas where we have substantial credit research experience. When appropriate, we tended to favor longer-dated bonds for what we identified as their increased performance potential.

One management challenge we regularly face, particularly in states with limited issuance, is finding sufficient supply of lower-rated bonds that we believe offer good long-term value for our shareholders. When these opportunities are scarce, we will sometimes purchase higher-quality in-state bonds to keep the Funds fully invested until higher yielding opportunities that we deem attractive become available. During this fiscal year, we employed this strategy in all three Funds, purchasing bonds that we believed could continue to provide shareholders with regular, tax-exempt income, as we searched for notable long-term value opportunities.

Within the Funds

In keeping with the performance trends mentioned earlier, bonds with lower credit ratings and longer maturity dates tended to outperform higher-quality, shorter-dated issues for the fiscal year. The Funds’ strongest-performing holdings generally conformed to those trends.

Note: Any specific bonds mentioned herein were among those held for the entire fiscal year.

All three Funds benefited from holding St. Louis Park, Minn., Health Care Facilities bonds for Nicollet Health Services. These bonds, rated A by Standard & Poor’s, generated a strong return due in part to their relatively long maturity dates and lower-investment-grade credit rating. In addition, the bonds were advance refunded during the period, resulting in a nice price boost as the securities became backed by escrowed U.S. government securities.

The same factors also helped the performance of bonds issued by the Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the Birchwood and Woodbury senior housing projects. Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund owned these securities. As with the Nicollet Health Services bonds, these nonrated senior housing issues rose in price after the holdings were advance refunded.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund was helped by another healthcare-related bond issue – continuing care retirement community bonds for the Homestead at Anoka senior housing project. These nonrated bonds carried a maturity date of 2034 – relatively long for an intermediate fund – and saw their prices rise along with the entire healthcare sector, which was the strongest-performing group in the municipal marketplace over the past year.

In a generally strong year for municipal bonds, most of the Funds’ weakest performers turned in flat to modestly negative returns. As discussed,

bonds of very high credit quality failed to keep pace with the results of the overall municipal bond market. Metropolitan Council Environmental Services wastewater treatment bonds, for example, were only modest gainers, reflecting the securities’ 2016 maturity date and AAA credit rating. These bonds were the weakest-performing holding in all three Funds’ portfolios.

Similarly, various bonds that had been advance refunded previously produced only very modest gains, because of their short maturities and high credit quality. These included bonds issued by the Sartell Independent School District No. 748 (Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund); healthcare bonds for North Country Health Services in Bemidji (Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund); and University of Minnesota refunding bonds (Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund). All of these highly rated securities were to mature in 2016, which limited their performance potential.

Minnesota economic backdrop

In our view, Minnesota has a fundamentally sound economy and is not dependent on any one sector. Employment is diverse, with a mix of manufacturing, services, and trade similar to the nation. Other relevant notes:

 

  In July 2015, nonfarm employment of 2.9 million was up 1.45% from a year earlier.

 

  The state’s unemployment rate of 4.0% in July 2015 was well below national levels of 5.3%.

 

  Personal income per capita is consistently above the national average. For the past five years, the state’s per capita personal income has been 105–108% of the national average.

 

 

Minnesota operates on a biennial basis. Minnesota fiscal 2015 revenues totaled $19.9 billion, or 2.0% above the previous year. However, expenditures were 5.3% higher than the previous fiscal year. This left a budgetary

fund balance of $46.9 million, compared to a $656 million balance at the end of fiscal 2014.

 

  The state passed its $42.8 billion biennial General Fund budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. This biennial budget is an 8.8% increase over the previous biennial budget. Roughly 49% is allocated toward education and 28% for health services.

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 and benchmark performance” table. Expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 7. 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 0.25% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

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 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.

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

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a fixed income security that is held by the Fund may be prepaid

prior to maturity, potentially forcing the Fund to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

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

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

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

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

Per Standard & Poor’s credit rating agency, bonds rated AA and A are more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than those in the higher-rated AAA category, but the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong. Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters, although adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

 

2 The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Management Company has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees in order to prevent total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any 12b-1 fees, taxes, interest, inverse floater program expenses, short sale and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations (collectively, nonroutine expenses)) from exceeding 0.60% (or 0.65%) of the Fund’s average daily net assets during the period from Sept. 1, 2014, through Aug. 31, 2015.** Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

Per Standard & Poor’s credit rating agency, bonds rated AA and A are more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than those in the higher-rated AAA category, but the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong. Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters, although adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

 

2 The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Management Company has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees in order to prevent total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any 12b-1 fees, taxes, interest, inverse floater program expenses, short sale and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations (collectively, nonroutine expenses)) from exceeding 0.69% of the Fund’s average daily net assets during the period from Sept. 1, 2014, through Aug. 31, 2015.*** Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements.

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.

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.

Disclosure of Fund expenses

For the six-month period from March 1, 2015 to August 31, 2015 (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, 2015 to Aug. 31, 2015.

Actual expenses

The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Funds’ expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect. The expenses shown in each table assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. Voyageur Tax-Free Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund. Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Tax-Free Funds, and Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds are individually referred to as a Trust and collectively as the 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 C, and Institutional Class 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 1.00% 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. On May 30, 2013, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund’s Class B shares were eliminated. For Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, between June 1, 2007 and Sept. 25, 2014, Class B shares could be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges. Effective Sept. 25, 2014, all remaining shares of Class B were converted to Class A shares. Class B shares automatically converted 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. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.

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

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

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

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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.

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (Aug. 31, 2012–Aug. 31, 2015) 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 – Each Fund is an investment company, whose financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments Family of Funds are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual

basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Each Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the year ended Aug. 31, 2015.

Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than one dollar, the expense paid under this arrangement is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses” with the corresponding expense offset shown under “Less expense paid indirectly.” For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, each Fund earned the following amounts under this agreement:

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund’s Class B shares were subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of the average daily net assets, which was contractually waived to 0.25% of average daily net assets from Sept. 1, 2014 through Sept. 25, 2014. DDLP has contracted to waive Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund’s Class A shares to 0.15% of average daily net assets from Sept. 1, 2014 through Aug. 31, 2015.* Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service fees.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the

Table of Contents

 

 

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

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

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 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.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of market discount and premium on certain debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, each Fund recorded the following reclassifications:

On Dec. 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes 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 $225,000,000 revolving line of credit intended 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 of 0.08%, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit under the agreement expired on Nov. 10, 2014.

On Nov. 10, 2014, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $275,000,000 revolving line of credit. The line of credit is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on Nov. 9, 2015.

The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of Aug. 31, 2015, or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities, mainly in Minnesota, and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in U.S. territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes.

The value of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the state or, U.S. territories, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons, and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund. At Aug. 31, 2015, the percentages of each Fund’s net assets insured by bond insurers are listed below, and these securities have been identified in the “Schedules of investments.”

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) and lower than 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.

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

 

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

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

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed 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, the Boards have delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

9. Contractual Obligations

Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However,

 

90


Table of Contents

 

 

each Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after Dec. 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has determined that this pronouncement has no impact to each Fund’s financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07 regarding “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share.” The amendments in this update are effective for the Funds for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No. 2015-07 will eliminate the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2015-07 and its impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

11. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to Aug. 31, 2015, 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 assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free 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, 2015, 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 periods indicated, 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, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

At a meeting held on Aug. 18-20, 2015 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees (collectively referred to here as the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for 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 Management 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 investment manager’s financial condition and profitability. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided to the Trustees in May 2015 and included reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition to the information noted above, the Board also requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, the investment manager’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. They also engaged a consultant to assist them in analyzing portions of the data presented and received. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed with such consultant two reports prepared by the consultant with respect to such data. 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 DMC to each Fund and its shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds complex; and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the Funds’ investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of several industry distinctions during the past several years. 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 the third and fourth quarters of 2013, Management reduced the maximum 12b-1 fee for certain funds, and in November 2013 Management negotiated a substantial reduction in fees for fund accounting services provided to the Funds. 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 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 DMC.

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 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent applicable, ended March 31, 2015. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.

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 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 10-year period was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. 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 states” intermediate municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with 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 municipal debt funds, the Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1- and 3-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 5- and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. When compared to other high yield municipal debt funds, the Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods was in the fourth quartile of the Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the 10-year period was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board observed that, when compared to other high yield municipal debt funds, the Fund’s performance results were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking action to improve Fund performance and to meet the Board’s performance objective.

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 DMC 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.

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 Dec. 29, 2015 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free 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 Dec. 29, 2015 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services and a negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting services, which had created an opportunity

for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware 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 in its 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 lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of the Expense. The Board noted that, when compared to other Minnesota municipal debt funds, 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 Dec. 29, 2015 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Management Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by DMC 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 DMC’s 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 DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s 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 DMC 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 DMC.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by DMC 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 in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints are exceeded. The Board noted that the fee under each Fund’s management contract fell within the standard structure. The Board also noted that Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund’s assets exceeded the first breakpoint level. The Board believed that, given the extent to which economies of scale might be realized by the advisor and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under

the Investment Management Agreement provides a sharing of benefits with Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and its shareholders. Although Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond 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.

Delaware Investments® National Tax-Free Funds

 

Economic backdrop

The U.S. economy continued to grow steadily throughout the Funds’ fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2015. The economy benefited from increased business investment and consumer spending, made possible in part by a sharp drop in the price of oil. A steadily improving job market also lifted consumer optimism. As of August 2015, the national jobless rate was 5.1%, down a full percentage point from a year earlier and the lowest level since early 2008. (Source: U.S. Labor Department.)

In the third quarter of 2014, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of national economic output – grew by a rapid 4.3% annual pace. This was followed by a 2.1% expansion in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, the economy significantly slowed, as bad winter weather and shipping disruptions at West Coast ports depressed economic activity. These trends reversed in the second quarter of 2015, with continued strength in consumer spending helping to grow the economy by an estimated 3.7% in April–June. (Source: U.S. Commerce Department.)

With the U.S. economy strengthening and inflation well contained, the U.S. Federal Reserve finally ended its quantitative-easing economic stimulus plan in October 2014. The Fed maintained its target short-term rate at essentially zero – where it has been since 2008 – for the duration of the Funds’ fiscal year. However, as the period ended, investors widely anticipated a rate increase even as emerging concerns about the global economy added uncertainty to the central bank’s timetable.

Municipal bond market conditions

Municipal bonds produced positive returns overall for the Funds’ fiscal year. Over the entire period, bonds with longer maturity dates outperformed their shorter-maturity counterparts, while lower-

rated bonds offering higher yields fared better than higher-rated, lower yielding issues.

Municipal bond returns, by maturity and credit quality, for the 12 months ended Aug. 31, 2015, were as follows:

 

Maturity       

5 years

     1.18%   

10 years

     2.47%   

22+ years

     4.02%   

 

Credit quality

      

AAA

     1.85%   

AA

     2.40%   

A

     2.75%   

BBB

     3.92%   

Source: Barclays

One exception to this trend came from bonds with credit ratings below BBB – also known as below-investment-grade, or high yield, bonds – which had flat returns, as measured by the Barclays High-Yield Municipal Bond Index, which tracks the total return performance of the long-term, non-investment-grade tax-exempt bond market. Nearly all of this relative underperformance, however, was caused by the weakness of bonds affiliated with Puerto Rico, which make up approximately 24% of the index. (Bonds issued by U.S. territories are exempt from federal, state, and local income taxes for residents of all 50 states.) Puerto Rico’s longstanding credit problems worsened during the Funds’ fiscal year, as the commonwealth filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2015. If Puerto Rico bonds were removed from the index, high yield returns would have kept with the credit trend by posting gains of 6.75%.

Of the Funds profiled in this report, only Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund had any exposure to Puerto Rican bonds. In that Fund’s portfolio, we held a small position in debt for Hospital Auxilio Mutuo, whose credit quality we concluded was relatively insulated from Puerto

Rico’s financial difficulties. In fact, these bonds declined only modestly during the 12-month period, far outperforming the average Puerto Rico bond for the same time frame.

Toward the end of the Funds’ fiscal year, the market environment shifted for municipal bond investors. Uncertainty grew about the global economy – especially with respect to China and other emerging markets – causing increased market volatility, as investors became more risk averse. Accordingly, shorter-dated, higher-rated tax-exempt bonds returned to favor, while longer-maturity, lower-quality issues found themselves at a relative disadvantage as the period ended.

Demand for municipal bonds was robust as the fiscal year began, but tailed off as the period progressed. Toward the end of the period, however, municipal bond fund outflows grew as investors began to anticipate an increase in the Fed’s target short-term interest rate. Meanwhile, the supply of new long-term municipal debt remained constrained. Despite considerable issuance, much of the new supply consisted of debt refinancing, as issuers took advantage of still-low borrowing costs to lower their long-term interest expenses.

Sticking to our strategy

For all three Funds discussed in this report, we maintained the consistent management approach we follow in all types of market conditions, relying on a bottom-up investment strategy. We evaluate securities one at a time, working with our credit analysts to determine through careful research which bonds we believe offer our shareholders the most favorable risk-reward trade-off and income potential.

Applying this approach, we continued to favor bonds with lower-investment-grade or below-investment-grade credit ratings, the segment in which we believe our credit research capabilities may prove most beneficial. Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA

Intermediate Fund maintained sizeable allocations to bonds with credit ratings of A and BBB – the two lowest tiers of the investment grade bond universe – as well as to below-investment-grade bonds. By prospectus, up to 20% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund can be held in this latter category. We used a substantial portion of this allotment, as we identified various lower-rated bonds that we believed appeared poised to benefit from credit improvement.

Meanwhile, reflecting its different mandate, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund has substantial flexibility to invest in bonds with below-investment-grade credit ratings. At fiscal year end, 51.44% of its portfolio was invested in bonds with credit ratings of BB or lower, up from the 43.66% at the start of the period.

Throughout the period, we maintained a roughly neutral duration (interest rate) stance in all three Funds relative to their benchmarks. This approach reflected our belief in our disciplined credit selection process, rather than any attempt to anticipate the direction of interest rates. The Funds purchased new bonds across various sectors during the fiscal year, including the charter school and healthcare sectors – two areas where we have substantial credit research experience. When appropriate, we tended to favor longer-dated bonds for what we identified as their increased performance potential.

Within the Funds

In keeping with the performance trends mentioned earlier, bonds with lower credit ratings and longer maturity dates tended to outperform higher-quality, shorter-dated issues for the fiscal year. The Funds’ strongest-performing holdings generally conformed to those trends.

All three Funds benefited from holding Southwestern Illinois Development Authority bonds for Memorial Hospital. These bonds, rated

BB+ by Standard & Poor’s and maturing in 2043, generated a strong return due to their relatively long maturity dates and below-investment-grade credit rating. The issuer’s plans to affiliate with a higher-rated hospital also attracted investors.

A strong-performing position in Louisiana Public Facilities Authority bonds for the Southwest Louisiana Charter Academy in Lake Charles helped Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund. These nonrated bonds, which offered a yield exceeding 8% and were due to mature in 2043, rose 16% for the period.

Holdings in New Jersey Economic Development Authority revenue bonds for Continental Airlines lifted the results of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. These corporate-backed bonds, rated B+ and maturing in 2030, benefited from both the strong backdrop for lower-rated issues as well as the airline industry’s continued recovery.

Besides benefiting from the Illinois hospital bonds mentioned earlier, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund saw strong results from Illinois Finance Authority revenue bonds for the Admiral at the Lake Project, a senior housing facility in Chicago. The price of these nonrated bonds, due to mature in 2046, rose 16%.

In what was a generally strong year for municipal bonds, most of the Funds’ weakest performers

turned in flat to modestly negative returns. Relative to their respective benchmarks, both Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund were hampered by positions in New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund bonds. New Jersey–backed debt struggled during the period, as the state’s credit rating was downgraded multiple times in response to its burdensome pension obligations and worsening financial situation.

Maryland Economic Development Corporation bonds for the CNX Marine Terminals, a coal shipment terminal facility in Baltimore, also detracted. These bonds, which all three Funds held, returned -2%, as weak commodity prices weighed on the issuer.

Of final note, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund was hurt by Lake County, Fla., industrial development revenue bonds for the Cranes View Lodge continuing care retirement community project. Despite this issue’s lower credit rating and longer maturity date – two generally positive factors during the period – the bonds struggled with a -3% return, due to construction delays that pushed back the opening of a new facility. The Fund continued to own the bonds at the end of its fiscal year, however, as we still saw the potential for good long-term value in the securities.

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 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 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.

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.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

Per Standard & Poor’s credit rating agency, bonds rated AA and A are more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than those in the higher-rated AAA category, but the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is

still strong. Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters, although adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Disclosure of Fund expenses

For the six-month period from March 1, 2015 to August 31, 2015 (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, 2015 to Aug. 31, 2015.

Actual expenses

The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Funds’ expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect. The expenses shown in each table assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

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 1.00% 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 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. Effective Sept. 25, 2014, all remaining shares of Class B were converted to Class A shares. Between June 1, 2007 and Sept. 25, 2014, Class B shares could be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges.

Class B shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund automatically converted to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately five years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.

The investment objective of 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 taxes as is available from municipal obligations and as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital.

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

1. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation – Debt securities are valued 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. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (Aug. 31, 2012–Aug. 31, 2015), 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 – Each Fund is an investment company, whose financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Each Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. There were no such earnings credits for the year ended Aug. 31, 2015.

Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than one dollar, the expense paid under this arrangement is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses” with the corresponding expense offset shown under “Less expense paid indirectly.” For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, each Fund earned the following amounts under this agreement:

 

      Delaware Tax-Free
USA Fund
   Delaware Tax-Free
USA Intermediate Fund
   Delaware National High-Yield
Municipal Bond Fund
   $133    $91    $77

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    
USA Fund
 

Delaware Tax-Free
  USA Intermediate Fund  

 

Delaware National
High-Yield
  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%

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 fees, taxes, interest, inverse floater program expenses, acquired fund fees and 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, from Sept. 1, 2014 through Aug. 31, 2015.1 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 Boards and DMC. These expense waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by each Fund and may only be terminated by agreement of DMC and each Fund.

Effective Nov. 1, 2014, Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to each Fund. Prior to this time, Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provided fund accounting and financial

administration oversight services to each Fund under a substantially identical agreement with an identical fee schedule. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated 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 DIFSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all retail funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Accounting and Administration expenses.” For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:

 

     Delaware Tax-Free
USA Fund
   Delaware Tax-Free
USA Intermediate Fund
   Delaware National High-Yield
Municipal Bond Fund
   $27,096    $35,773    $40,711

 

Effective Nov. 1, 2014, DIFSC also became the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of each Fund. Prior to this time, DSC was the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of each Fund under a substantially identical agreement with an identical fee schedule. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated based on the aggregate daily net assets of the retail funds within the Delaware Investments Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.025% of the first $20 billion; 0.020% of the next $5 billion; 0.015% of the next $5 billion; and 0.013% on average daily net assets in excess of $30 billion. The fees payable to DIFSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all retail Funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:

 

     Delaware Tax-Free
USA Fund
   Delaware Tax-Free
USA Intermediate Fund
   Delaware National High-Yield
Municipal Bond Fund
   $118,964    $157,082    $178,580

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to each Fund. Sub-transfer agency fees are passed on to and paid by each Fund.

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. Each Fund pays 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares 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: (1) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (2) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All of the Fund’s Class A shareholders bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. The Class A shares and Class B shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund were subject to a 12b-1 fee of 0.25% and 1.00%, respectively of average daily net assets, which were contractually waived to 0.15% of average daily net assets from Sept. 1, 2014 through Aug. 31, 2015.2 The Class B shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability 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. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts)
Level 2 –    Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts,

3. Investments (continued)

 

   foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
Level 3 –    Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

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

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Aug. 31, 2015:

During the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to each Fund. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to net assets. At Aug. 31, 2015, there were no Level 3 investments.

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.

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

 

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of expiring capital loss carryforwards and tax treatment of market discount and premium on certain debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, the Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund recorded the following reclassifications:

 

    

Delaware National
High-Yield
Municipal Bond Fund

Undistributed net investment income

     $ (194,106 )

Accumulated net realized loss

       549,807  

Paid-in capital

       (355,701 )

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. In 2015, $2,050,022 capital loss carryforwards was utilized for the Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund and $355,701 capital loss carryforwards expired for the Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund.

Capital loss carryforwards remaining at Aug. 31, 2015 will expire as follows:

 

    

Delaware Tax-Free
USA Intermediate Fund

   Delaware National High-Yield
Municipal Bond Fund
    

2017

   $5,428,954    $374,735   

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

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

 

     Delaware Tax-Free
USA Fund
  

Delaware Tax-Free
USA Intermediate Fund

   Delaware National High-Yield
Municipal Bond Fund

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 $225,000,000 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 of 0.08%, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit under the agreement expired on Nov. 10, 2014.

On Nov. 10, 2014, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $275,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on Nov. 9, 2015.

The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of Aug. 31, 2015 or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities, and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in U.S. territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam, whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes. The value of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the U.S. states or territories, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund. At Aug. 31, 2015, 1.55%, 3.47%, and 1.06% of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund’s, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund’s, and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund’s net assets, respectively, were insured by bond insurers. These securities have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

As of Aug. 31, 2015, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California, New York, and Texas which constituted approximately 13.61%, 19.13%, and 12.11%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. As of Aug. 31, 2015, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California, New York, and Texas, which constituted approximately 16.30%, 16.38%, and 10.92%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. As of Aug. 31, 2015, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California and New York which constituted approximately 13.51% and 10.83%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. These investments could make each Fund more sensitive to economic conditions in those states than other more geographically diversified national municipal income funds.

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

 

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 Financial Services LLC (S&P) and lower than 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.

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

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

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed 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, the Boards have delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale

pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Funds’ 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities held by each Fund have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

9. Contractual Obligations

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

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after Dec. 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has determined that this pronouncement has no impact to each Fund’s financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-07 regarding “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share”. The amendments in this update are effective for the Funds for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-07 will eliminate the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2015-07 and its impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

11. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to Aug. 31, 2015 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free 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, 2015, 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 five 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, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

At a meeting held on Aug. 18-20, 2015 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees (collectively referred to here as the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for 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 Management 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 investment manager’s financial condition and profitability. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided to the Trustees in May 2015 and included reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition to the information noted above, the Board also requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, the investment manager’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. They also engaged a consultant to assist them in analyzing portions of the data presented and received. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed with the consultant two reports prepared by the consultant with respect to such data. 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 DMC to each Fund and its shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds complex; and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the Funds’ investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of several industry distinctions during the past several years. 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 the third and fourth

quarters of 2013, Management reduced the maximum 12b-1 fee for certain funds, and in November 2013 Management negotiated a substantial reduction in fees for fund accounting services provided to the Funds. 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 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 DMC.

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 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent applicable, ended March 31, 2015. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.

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 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-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 and insured municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1- and 3-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 5- and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

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 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. 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 DMC 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.

Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond 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 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 was in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the lowest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with the 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 DMC 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 DMC’s 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 DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s 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 DMC 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 DMC.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by DMC 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, and which applies to most funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds complex. 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 in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints are exceeded. The Board noted that the fee under each Fund’s management contract fell within the standard structure. The Board also noted that each Fund’s assets exceeded the first breakpoint level. The Board believed that, given the extent to which economies of scale might be realized by the advisor and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement provides a sharing of benefits with the Fund and its shareholders.

Economic backdrop

The U.S. economy continued to grow steadily throughout the Funds’ fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2015. The economy benefited from increased business investment and consumer spending, made possible in part by a sharp drop in the price of oil. A steadily improving job market also lifted consumer optimism. As of August 2015, the national jobless rate was 5.1%, down a full percentage point from a year earlier and the lowest level since early 2008. (Source: U.S. Labor Department.)

In the third quarter of 2014, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of national economic output – grew by a rapid 4.3% annual pace. This was followed by a 2.1% expansion in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, the economy significantly slowed, as bad winter weather and shipping disruptions at West Coast ports depressed economic activity. These trends reversed in the second quarter of 2015, with continued strength in consumer spending helping to grow the economy by an estimated 3.7% in April–June. (Source: U.S. Commerce Department.)

With the U.S. economy strengthening and inflation well contained, the U.S. Federal Reserve finally ended its quantitative-easing economic stimulus plan in October 2014. The Fed maintained its target short-term rate at essentially zero – where it has been since 2008 – for the duration of the Funds’ fiscal year. However, as the period ended, investors widely anticipated a rate increase even as emerging concerns about the global economy added uncertainty to the central bank’s timetable.

Municipal bond market conditions

Municipal bonds produced positive returns overall for the Funds’ fiscal year. Over the entire period, bonds with longer maturity dates outperformed their shorter-maturity counterparts, while lower-

rated bonds offering higher yields fared better than higher-rated, lower yielding issues.

Municipal bond returns, by maturity and credit quality, for the 12 months ended Aug. 31, 2015, were as follows:

 

Maturity

      

 

5 years

     1.18%   

10 years

     2.47%   

22+ years

     4.02%   

Credit quality

      

 

AAA

     1.85%   

AA

     2.40%   

A

     2.75%   

BBB

     3.92%   

Source: Barclays

One exception to this trend came from bonds with credit ratings below BBB – also known as below-investment-grade, or high yield, bonds – which had flat returns, as measured by the Barclays High-Yield Municipal Bond Index, which tracks the total return performance of the long-term, non-investment-grade tax-exempt bond market. Nearly all of this relative underperformance, however, was caused by the weakness of bonds affiliated with Puerto Rico, which make up approximately 24% of the index. (Bonds issued by U.S. territories are exempt from federal, state, and local income taxes for residents of all 50 states.) Puerto Rico’s longstanding credit problems worsened during the Funds’ fiscal year, as the commonwealth filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2015. If Puerto Rico bonds were removed from the index, high yield returns would have kept with the credit trend by posting gains of 6.75%.

Of the Funds profiled in this report, only Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund had any exposure to long-dated Puerto Rican bonds. In these Funds’ portfolios, we held a position in debt for Hospital Auxilio Mutuo, whose credit quality we concluded was relatively

insulated from Puerto Rico’s financial difficulties. In fact, these bonds declined only modestly during the 12-month period, far outperforming the average Puerto Rico bond for the same time frame.

Toward the end of the Funds’ fiscal year, the market environment shifted for municipal bond investors. Uncertainty grew about the global economy – especially with respect to China and other emerging markets – causing increased market volatility, as investors became more risk averse. Accordingly, shorter-dated, higher-rated tax-exempt bonds returned to favor, while longer-maturity, lower-quality issues found themselves at a relative performance disadvantage as the period ended.

Demand for municipal bonds was robust as the fiscal year began, but tailed off as the period progressed. Toward the end of the period, however, municipal bond fund outflows grew as investors began to anticipate an increase in the Fed’s target short-term interest rate. Meanwhile, the supply of new long-term municipal debt remained constrained. Despite considerable issuance, much of the new supply consisted of debt refinancing, as issuers took advantage of still-low borrowing costs to lower their long-term interest expenses.

Economic backdrop in the states

Arizona’s diverse state economy is still slowly recovering from the global financial crisis. The rise in population overly exposed the real estate market and the construction industry. July 2015 nonfarm employment of 2.6 million was up 2.1% from a year earlier. While the economy improved during the fiscal year, the unemployment rate remained elevated at 6.1% as of July 2015, well above the national rate of 5.3%. Arizona’s personal income per capita is below the national level. Fiscal 2015 General Fund revenues totaled $9.5 billion, a 5.4% increase over 2014 and 3.7% above budget estimates. Most of the revenue

gains were from individual income capital gains and corporate tax collections. The state ended fiscal 2015 with a fund balance of $325 million, well above the expected $132 million shortfall. This creates a larger beginning balance for fiscal 2016 and would result in a $278 million expected ending fund balance for fiscal 2016. The state passed a $9.1 billion 2016 General Fund budget on time. This represented a 1.1% decline in overall spending from the prior year’s $9.2 billion budget. The budget assumes 3.9% overall revenue growth for the fiscal year. The state’s public universities will see a 13% reduction in state support in this budget, but K–12 funding will increase by $160 million for non-classroom spending. (Source: bls.gov, Moody’s Investors Service, Arizona Joint Legislative Budget Committee.)

California enjoys a large, diverse, and wealthy economy that mirrors that of the nation. The gross state product is $2.3 trillion, 13% of U.S. GDP. July 2015 nonfarm employment of 16.1 million was up 3.1% from a year earlier. The state’s unemployment rate fell from 7.4% in July 2014 to 6.2% in July 2015, but remains well above the national rate of 5.3%. Per capita economic measures remain strong, with GDP and personal income 9% above the nation overall. Revenues for fiscal 2015 came in 6.4% above budget and 12.5% above the prior year. Governor Jerry Brown passed a $115 billion General Fund budget for fiscal 2016. It is designed to achieve a structurally balanced budget without the use of on-year revenues or payment deferrals. The budget uses revenue growth to pay down past budgetary borrowing, invest in education and infrastructure, and build reserves. The budget calls for a 3.3% increase in revenues over 2015 and a 0.8% increase in expenditures. Total resources available would equal $117.5 million and expenditures are projected to total $115.4 billion, leaving a fund balance of $2.09 billion, with $1.1 billion reserved for the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties. A transfer of $1.9 billion in the Rainy Day Fund

would bring the total to $3.46 billion, equal to 2.9% of resources. Through the first month of fiscal 2016, General Fund revenues were 0.2% below estimates, but 6.2% above the prior year. (Source: bls.gov, California State Controller Monthly Reports, Moody’s.)

Colorado’s economy is diverse, with below-average employment concentration in manufacturing and a variety of service sector strengths. July 2015 nonfarm employment of 2.5 million was up 2.7% from a year earlier. Colorado’s unemployment rate in July 2015 was 4.3%, much lower than the national rate of 5.3%. Colorado is a wealthy state, with per capita income equal to 110% of the U.S. average. Preliminary revenues for fiscal 2015 show 9.3% growth over fiscal 2014 and a 0.5% increase over the March forecast. General Fund revenue is expected to grow more moderately at 4.5% in fiscal 2016 in part due to a contraction in the oil and gas industry. The state passed a $9.5 billion General Fund fiscal year 2016 budget, a 5.4% increase over the prior year. General Fund revenues are anticipated to grow 6.9% in fiscal year 2016. The 2016 budget increases funding for education by $281 million. It also set aside money for road construction and transit, with roughly $145 million going toward transportation. (Source: bls.gov, Colorado Office of State Planning and Budgeting, Moody’s, colorado.gov.)

Idaho’s economy has expanded and diversified in recent years, benefiting from population growth. However, it remains quite dependent on the natural resource sector. July 2015 nonfarm employment of 683,900 was up 3.3% from a year earlier. The unemployment rate in July 2015 fell to 4.1% from 4.8% a year earlier, well below the national rate of 5.3%. Idaho’s General Fund fiscal 2015 revenues totaled $3.06 billion, topping $3 billion for the first time. Total revenues came in 3.1% above budget and 8.6% above the prior year. The state passed its $3.07 billion 2016 General Fund budget on time. The budget grew

4.6% over fiscal 2015. The 2016 General Fund budget increases education and healthcare spending by 7.0% and 1.9%, respectively. (Source: bls.gov, Idaho Division of Management, State Controller’s website.)

New York has a mature, broad-based, and wealthy economy that attracts a highly educated and global workforce. July 2015 nonfarm employment of 9.3 million rose 1.9% from a year earlier. The unemployment rate in July 2015 was 5.4%, slightly above the national rate of 5.3%. In fiscal 2015, General Fund revenues totaled $52 billion, a 13% increase over 2014 and 11.8% higher than original budget estimates. The state ended fiscal 2015 with a General Fund balance of $7.3 billion, an increase of $5.1 billion over fiscal 2014. The state passed a $143 billion fiscal year 2016 budget, an annual increase of 0.3%. This marks the sixth straight year that budget spending increased by less than 2%. Total revenues are anticipated to grow 5% in the 2016 budget. The two biggest portions of the budget, school aid ($23.4 billion) and Medicaid ($17.4 billion) are expected to increase 8.1% and 3.7%, respectively. State operating revenues through the first four months of fiscal 2016 were 5% higher than budget and 1.9% above the prior year due to higher personal income taxes. (Source: bls.gov, New York Division of Budget, Moody’s, Office of the New York State Comptroller.)

Pennsylvania has a diverse, broad, and relatively stable economy, with wealth levels 3% above the national average, supported by its large health and higher education sectors. July 2015 nonfarm employment of 5.9 million rose 1.1% from a year earlier. The monthly unemployment rate was 5.4% in July 2015. Pennsylvania’s General Fund tax collections totaled $28.6 billion in fiscal 2015, 1.4% above the estimates and 6.9% above fiscal 2014. Personal and sales taxes came in 0.6% and 0.2% above budget, respectively, but corporate tax revenues were 4.9% above estimates. Pennsylvania still does not have a 2016 budget

enacted. Democratic Governor Tom Wolf and the Republican-controlled General Assembly are at odds over the use of tax increases. Wolf rejected a $30.2 billion plan because it didn’t include new taxes needed to increase funding for education and human services.

Sticking to our strategy

For all six Funds discussed in this report, we maintained the consistent management approach we follow in all types of market conditions, relying on a bottom-up investment strategy. We evaluate securities one at a time, working with our credit analysts to determine through careful research which bonds we believe offer our shareholders the most favorable risk-reward trade-off and income potential.

Applying this approach, we continued to favor bonds with lower-investment-grade or below-investment-grade credit ratings, the segment in which we believe our credit research capabilities may prove most beneficial. Accordingly, all six Funds maintained sizeable allocations to bonds with credit ratings of A and BBB – the two lowest tiers of the investment grade bond universe – as well as to below-investment-grade bonds. By prospectus, up to 20% of the net assets of the Funds can be held in this latter category.

Opportunities varied widely by state, depending on the supply of municipal bonds available when we had proceeds available to invest. To the extent that we were able to find what we viewed as attractive opportunities in each state, we used a portion of the below-investment-grade allotment. The Funds owned lower-rated bonds that we thought appeared poised to benefit from credit improvement, and that we believed may enable us to improve the Funds’ income characteristics.

Throughout the period, we maintained a roughly neutral duration (interest rate) stance in all six Funds relative to their benchmarks. This approach

reflected our belief in our disciplined credit selection process, rather than any attempt to anticipate the direction of interest rates. The Funds purchased new bonds across various sectors during the fiscal year, including the charter school and healthcare sectors – two areas where we have substantial credit research experience. When appropriate, we tended to favor longer-dated bonds for what we identified as their increased performance potential.

One management challenge we regularly face, particularly in states with limited issuance, is finding sufficient supply of lower-rated bonds that we believe offer good long-term value for our Funds’ shareholders. When these opportunities are scarce, we will sometimes purchase higher-quality in-state bonds to keep the Funds fully invested until higher yielding opportunities that we deem attractive become available. During this fiscal year, we employed this strategy most often in Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, purchasing bonds that we believed could continue to provide shareholders with regular, tax-exempt income, as we searched for compelling long-term value opportunities. To a lesser degree, we employed this strategy in Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund.

Within the Funds

In keeping with the performance trends mentioned earlier, bonds with lower credit ratings and longer maturity dates tended to outperform higher-quality, shorter-dated issues for the fiscal year. The Funds’ strongest-performing holdings generally conformed to those trends.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund benefited from a position in Phoenix Industrial Development Authority charter school bonds for the Eagle College Prep Project. These bonds, rated BB+ by Standard & Poor’s, returned 13% helped by their 2043 maturity date and below-investment-grade credit rating. A position in Glendale Industrial Development Authority hospital bonds for John C.

Lincoln Health Foundation further helped the Fund. These bonds were advance refunded, which would typically result in a price increase as the securities become backed by very short-dated, high-quality U.S. government bonds. On the negative side, Salt Verde Financial Corporation senior gas revenue bonds were relative laggards, declining 0.5%. Increasing risk aversion among municipal bond investors hampered these issues, along with many other corporate-backed bonds in the second half of the period.

The strongest-performing securities in Delaware Tax-Free California Fund were Golden State tobacco securitization bonds. The market’s tobacco sector enjoyed a strong year, as the group gained 9.31% overall for the 12 months ended Aug. 31, 2015, as measured by the sector’s return within the Barclays High-Yield Municipal Bond Index. These particular California bonds, which returned 12%, benefited from their below-investment-grade credit rating and 2047 maturity date. In addition, dedicated-tax bonds for Inland Regional Center performed well. Toward the end of the fiscal year, these bonds were due to be refunded and priced to a very short call date, causing their prices to rise. Although no bonds in the Fund produced a negative return, various securities gained only slightly. Keeping with national trends, the weakest absolute performers were bonds with higher credit ratings, short maturity dates, or both. For example, the Fund’s holdings in California general obligation bonds produced very slight returns, due in part to the securities’ near-term maturity date. Similarly, we had a position in tax-allocation bonds for Lancaster Redevelopment Agency (returning 1%), which had been advance refunded and therefore had short maturity dates and high credit quality.

In Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, the strongest performers were Baptist Road Rural Transportation Authority sales and use tax revenue bonds, which returned 10%, and were redeemed during the fiscal year. Bonds for

Littleton Preparatory Charter School also performed well; these securities’ below-investment-grade credit rating and relatively long maturity date proved beneficial. In contrast, the Fund’s holdings in high-quality, relatively short-maturity revenue refunding bonds issued by the Pueblo Board of Water Works produced a small gain (0.3%), well short of the benchmark’s return.

The strongest-performing bonds in Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund were issued for North Star Charter School. These nonrated bonds, maturing in 2048, came out of a June 2014 agreement that enabled the issuer to restructure its debt. As the issuer’s credit quality improved throughout the fiscal year, the bonds gained 16%. Idaho Health Facilities Authority bonds for St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center also performed well, reflecting the securities’ lower-investment-grade credit rating and the hospital sector’s overall strength during the 12-month period. Other than the Puerto Rico hospital bonds mentioned earlier, no securities in Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund produced negative returns. The Fund’s position in bonds issued by Ada and Canyon Counties Joint School District gained only 0.5%, however, owing to their short maturity date of 2016 and A+ credit rating.

As with Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund benefited from its holdings in state tobacco bonds. The Fund’s investment in New York tobacco securitization debt returned 17% for the fiscal year. Another strong-performing holding was Dormitory Authority of the State of New York bonds issued for the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. These lower-investment-grade bonds gained about 13%, benefiting from their advance refunding late in the period. However, the Fund’s holding in bonds issued for Brighter Choice Charter Schools in Albany was a particularly weak performer, declining 12%. As the issuer experienced management troubles, the price of the bonds fell. Metropolitan Transportation Authority bonds fared considerably better, but

they were still one of the weaker performers. Their results were hurt by their relatively high credit quality and late-2015 maturity date.

The two strongest-performing bonds in Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund were advance refunded and saw their prices rise accordingly; South Fork Municipal Authority bonds for the Conemaugh Health System and Montgomery County Industrial Development Authority bonds for the New Regional Medical Center gained 14% and 11%, respectively. Meanwhile, no holdings in the Fund lost ground, but the Fund’s exposure to Pennsylvania general obligation bonds produced a very minor gain, due to the securities’ AA credit rating and 2018 maturity date. Similarly, the Fund gained only 0.8% from advance refunded Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority bonds. Despite this issue’s affiliation with the financially troubled U.S. territory, the securities’ near-term maturity date and backing by U.S. government securities enabled them to produce a slightly positive return for the fiscal year.

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

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

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

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

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely

relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

Per Standard & Poor’s credit rating agency, bonds rated AA and A are more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than those in the higher-rated AAA category, but the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong. Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters, although adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund and benchmark performance” table. Expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 19. 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 0.25% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

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

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

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

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

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely

relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

Per Standard & Poor’s credit rating agency, bonds rated AA and A are more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than those in the higher-rated AAA category, but the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong. Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters, although adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%, and have an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Board has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 plan fees for the Fund’s Class A shares. 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 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 C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that contingent deferred sales charges did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

Disclosure of Fund expenses

For the six-month period from March 1, 2015 to August 31, 2015 (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, 2015 to Aug. 31, 2015.

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.

Voyageur Insured Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds II is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund. Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund. Voyageur Insured Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds II, and Delaware Group State Tax-Free Income Trust are each individually referred to as a Trust and collectively as the Trusts. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (each referred to as a Fund, or collectively, as the Funds). The above Trusts are open-end investment companies. The Funds are considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and offer Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% if redeemed during the first year and 0.50% during the second year, provided that Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid a financial advisor a commission on the purchase of those shares. Effective Sept. 25, 2014, all remaining shares of Class B were converted to Class A shares. Between June 1, 2007 and Sept. 25, 2014, Class B shares could be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges. Class B shares automatically converted to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately eight years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.

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

1. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation – Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset values. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of each Fund’s Board of Trustees (each, a Board or, collectively, the Boards). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (Aug. 31, 2012–Aug. 31, 2015), 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 – Each Fund is an investment company, whose financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to each Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments Family of Funds are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Each Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the year ended Aug. 31, 2015.

Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than one dollar, the expense paid under this arrangement is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses” with the corresponding expense offset shown under

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 Boards and DMC. These expense waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by each Fund and may only be terminated by agreement of DMC and each Fund.

Effective Nov. 1, 2014, DIFSC also became the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of each Fund. Prior to this time, DSC was the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of the Funds under a substantially identical agreement with an identical fee schedule. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated based on the aggregate daily net assets of the retail funds within the Delaware Investments Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.025% of the first $20 billion; 0.020% of the next $5 billion; 0.015% of the next $5 billion; and 0.013% of average daily net assets in excess of $30 billion.

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to each Fund. Sub-transfer agency fees are passed on to and paid by each Fund.

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 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares (except for Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund) and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares. The Board for Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania 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: (1) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (2) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All of the Fund’s Class A shareholders bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net

assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Each Fund’s Class B shares were subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of the average daily net assets, which were contractually waived to 0.25% of the average daily net assets from Sept. 1, 2014 through Sept. 25, 2014. Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, each Fund bears a portion of the cost of certain resources shared with DMC, including the cost of internal personnel of DMC and/or its affiliates that provide legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services to each Fund. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, each Fund was charged for internal legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability 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. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts)

 

140


Table of Contents

 

 

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

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

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Aug. 31, 2015:

1  Security type is valued across multiple levels. Level 1 investments represent exchange-traded investments while Level 2 investments represent matrix-priced investments. The amounts attributed to Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments represent the following percentages of the total market value of this security type for the Funds:

During the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to each Fund. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when each Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to net assets. At Aug. 31, 2015, there were no Level 3 investments.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended Aug. 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:

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

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended Aug. 31, 2015, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications:

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

7. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $225,000,000 revolving line of credit intended 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 of 0.08%, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit under the agreement expired on Nov. 10, 2014.

On Nov. 10, 2014, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $275,000,000 revolving line of credit. The line of credit is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on Nov. 9, 2015.

The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of Aug. 31, 2015 or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by each corresponding state’s municipalities. The Funds invest primarily in a specific state and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in U.S. territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes. The value of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the states, U.S. territories, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund. At Aug. 31, 2015, the percentages of each Fund’s net assets insured by bond insurers are listed below and these securities have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

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 Financial Services LLC (S&P) and lower than 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.

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

The Funds may invest in 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.

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Boards have delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each 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 held by the Funds have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

9. Contractual Obligations

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

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after Dec. 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Management has determined that this pronouncement has no impact to the Funds’ financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07 regarding “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share”. The amendments in this update are effective for the Funds for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No. 2015-07 will eliminate the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2015-07 and its impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

To the Board of Trustees of Voyageur Insured Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds II and Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust 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, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund (constituting Voyageur Insured Funds), Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (three of the series constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds), Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund (constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds II) and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (constituting Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2015, 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 periods indicated, 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, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board consideration of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund Investment Management Agreements

At a meeting held on Aug. 18-20, 2015 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees (collectively referred to here as the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania 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 Management 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 investment manager’s financial condition and profitability. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided to the Trustees in May 2015 and included reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition to the information noted above, the Board also requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, the investment manager’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. They also engaged a consultant to assist them in analyzing portions of the data presented and received. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed with such consultant two reports prepared by the consultant with respect to such data. 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 DMC to each Fund and its shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments Family of Funds complex; and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the Funds’ investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of several industry distinctions during the past several

years. 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 the third and fourth quarters of 2013, Management reduced the maximum 12b-1 fee for certain funds, and in November 2013 Management negotiated a substantial reduction in fees for fund accounting services provided to the Funds. 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 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 DMC.

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 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent applicable, ended March 31, 2015. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund  –  The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional “other states” municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 5-year period was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund  –  The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional California municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 10-year period was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. 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 “other states” municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund  –  The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional other state municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report

comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1- and 10-year periods was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3- and 5-year periods was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board determined that the Fund’s performance results were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking effective action to improve Fund performance and to meet the Board’s performance objective.

Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund  –  The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional New York municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund  –  The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional Pennsylvania municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1- and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3- and 5-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. 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 DMC 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.

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 Dec. 29, 2015 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the

negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

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

Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund  –  The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee 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 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 Dec. 29, 2015 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the outsourcing of certain transfer agency services and a negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund  –  The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the 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.

for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Management Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by DMC 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 DMC’s 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 DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s 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 DMC 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 DMC.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by DMC 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, and which applies to most funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds complex. 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 in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints 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.
