Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2011 to August 31, 2011

As a shareholder of the 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. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is 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, 2011 to August 31, 2011.

Actual expenses

The first section of the table 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 table shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 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 table 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 the 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 Fund’s expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect. The expenses shown in the table assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund	August 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers one series: Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (Fund). The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if redeemed during the first year and 0.50% during the second year, provided that Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid a financial advisor a commission on the purchase of those shares. Class B shares may be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges. Prior to June 1, 2007, Class B shares were sold with a CDSC that declined from 4% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares were held. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately eight years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1%, if redeemed during the first twelve months.

The investment objective of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund is to seek a high level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax and Pennsylvania state personal income tax, consistent with the 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 Fund.

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. Short-term debt securities are valued at market value. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security.

Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the 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 the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (February 29, 2008 – February 28, 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

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

Interest and Related Expenses — Interest and related expenses include, but are not limited to, interest expense, remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees’ fees from the Fund’s participation in inverse floater programs where the Fund has transferred its own bonds to a trust that issues floating rate securities with an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal of the transferred bonds. In conveyance of the bond, the Fund receives the inverse floating rate securities and cash from the trust. As a result of certain rights retained by the Fund, the transfer of the bond is not considered a sale, but rather a form of financing for accounting purposes whereby the cash received is recorded as a liability and interest expense is recorded based on the interest rate of the floating rate securities. Remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees’ fees expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

The Fund sold out of its inverse floater position on March 14, 2008.

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

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

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended August 31, 2011.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agent fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses on the statement of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.” For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the Fund earned $411 under this agreement.

2.	Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In accordance with the terms of its investment management agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily at the rate of 0.55% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, 0.50% on the next $500 million, 0.45% on the next $1.5 billion, and 0.425% on average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion.

DMC has contractually agreed to waive that portion, if any, of its management fee and reimburse the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual operating expenses, (excluding any 12b-1 plan and certain other expenses) do not exceed 0.64% of the Fund’s average daily net assets through June 28, 2012. For purposes of these waivers and reimbursement, nonroutine expenses may also include such additional costs and expenses, as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Fund’s Board and DMC. These expense waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by the Fund.

Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays DSC fees based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion; 0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to DSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all Funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the Fund was charged $12,445 for these services.

DSC also provides dividend disbursing and transfer agency services. Prior to July 18, 2011 the Fund paid DSC a monthly fee based on the number of shareholder accounts for dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. Effective July 18, 2011, the Fund pays DSC a monthly asset-based fee for these services.

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, the Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual distribution and service fee not to exceed 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and C shares. The Board has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 plan fees for the Fund’s Class A shares that went into effect on June 1, 1992. The total 12b-1 expenses to be paid by Class A shareholders of the Fund will be sum of 0.10% of the average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired prior to June 1, 1992 and 0.30% of the average daily net assets representing

shares that were acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shareholders will bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate based upon the allocation of the 0.10% and 0.30% rates described above. DDLP has contracted to limit distribution and service fees through June 28, 2012, in order to prevent distribution and service fees of the Class A shares from exceeding 0.25% of average daily net assets. This contractual waiver is applied to the shares of the Fund that were acquired on or after June 1, 1992 in calculating the applicable 12b-1 fee rate.

At August 31, 2011, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Investment management fees payable to DMC	$	215,190
Dividend disbursing, transfer agent and fund accounting
oversight fees and other expenses payable to DSC		12,573
Distribution fees payable to DDLP		119,000
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates*		16,410

*DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. Expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees for audit, legal and tax services, registration fees and trustees’ fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, the Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the Fund was charged $8,701 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

For the six months ended August 31, 2011, DDLP earned $20,454 for commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. For the six months ended August 31, 2011, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions of $0, $ 573 and $ 2,289 on redemption of the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, and these commissions were entirely used to offset up-front commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares.

Trustees’ fees include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Trustee’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC, DSC and DDLP are officers and/or Trustees of the Trust. These officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Fund.

3. Investments

For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the Fund made purchases of $52,722,721 and sales of $58,726,543 of investment securities other than short-term investments.

At August 31, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At August 31, 2011, the cost of investments was $480,171,203. At August 31, 2011, the net unrealized appreciation was $22,002,309 of which $25,978,596 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $3,976,287 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund

3. Investments (continued)

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 –	inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2 –	other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3 –	inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2011:

	Level 2
Municipal Bonds	$	498,673,512
Short-Term Investments		3,500,000
Total	$	502,173,512

There were no unobservable inputs used to value investments at the beginning or end of the period.

During the period ended August 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the six months ended August 31, 2011 and the year ended February 28, 2011 was as follows:

	Six Months		Year
	Ended		Ended
	8/31/11*		2/28/11
Ordinary income	$	103,753	$	1,193,250
Tax-exempt income		10,591,976		22,675,584
Long-term capital gain		—		3,605,043
Total	$	10,695,729	$	27,473,877

*Tax information for the period ended August 31, 2011 is an estimate and the tax character of dividends and distributions may be redesignated at fiscal year end.

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

The components of net assets are estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. As of August, 31, 2011, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest	$	490,573,579
Distribution payable		(515,590	)
Undistributed tax-exempt income		515,590
Realized losses 3/1/11 – 8/31/11		(4,066,755	)
Unrealized appreciation of investments		22,002,309
Net assets	$	508,509,133

For the six months ended August 31, 2011 and the year ended February 28, 2011, 52,421 Class B shares were converted to 52,421 Class A shares valued at $402,398 and 165,535 Class B shares were converted to 165,535 Class A shares valued at $1,311,824, respectively. The respective amounts are included in Class B redemptions and Class A subscriptions in the table above and the statements of changes in net assets.

7. Line of Credit

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $35,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee, which was allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The line of credit expired on November 16, 2010.

On November 16, 2010, the Fund, along with other participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $50,000,000 revolving line of credit. Effective as of August 1, 2011, the Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $100,000,000 revolving line of credit. The agreement as amended is to be used as described above and operates

in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The new line of credit under the agreement as amended expires on November 15, 2011. The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2011, or at any time during the period then ended.

8. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Inverse Floaters — The Fund may participate in inverse floater programs where the Fund transfers its own bonds to a trust that issues floating rate securities and inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) with an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal of the transferred bonds. The inverse floaters received by the Fund are derivative tax-exempt obligations with floating or variable interest rates that move in the opposite direction of short-term interest rates, usually at an accelerated speed. Consequently, the market values of the inverse floaters will generally be more volatile than other tax-exempt investments. The Fund typically uses inverse floaters to adjust the duration of its portfolio. Duration measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. By holding inverse floaters with a different duration than the underlying bonds that the Fund transferred to the trust, the Fund seeks to adjust its portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Fund may also invest in inverse floaters to add additional income to the Fund or to adjust the Fund’s exposure to a specific segment of the yield curve. At August 31, 2011, the Fund held no inverse floaters.

9. Credit and Market Risk

The Fund concentrates its investments in securities issued by Pennsylvania municipalities. The value of these investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within Pennsylvania, regional or local economic conditions, as applicable, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in the Fund. At August 31, 2011, 16.91% of the Fund’s net assets were insured by bond insurers. These securities have been identified in the statement of net assets.

The Fund may invest in advanced refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a “current refunding.” Advance refunded bonds are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund

9. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

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

The 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 the 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 Fund’s Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the 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 Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of August 31, 2011, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Fund’s Liquidity Procedures.

10. Contractual Obligations

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

11. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2011 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Board Consideration of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund Investment Advisory Agreement

At a meeting held on August 16-17, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (the “Fund”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”), which included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (“Delaware Investments”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund, the costs of such services to the Fund, economies of scale and the financial condition and profitability of Delaware Investments. Reference was made to 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 contracts. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided in May 2011 and included independent historical and comparative reports provided by Lipper. The Lipper reports compared the Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; the investment manager’s profitability; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities in certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, DMC’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board considered the services provided by Delaware Investments to the 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 Fund, compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies and restrictions for the Fund, 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 Fund’s investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenditures while maintaining service levels committed to fund matters. The Board noted that in July 2011 Management

Other Fund information
(Unaudited)

Board Consideration of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)

implemented measures to reduce overall costs and improve transfer agent and shareholder servicing functions through outsourcing. It is expected that such measures will improve the quality and lower the cost of delivering transfer agent and shareholder servicing services to the Fund. The Board once again 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 Delaware Investments.

Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund in view of its importance 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 the 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 the Fund was shown for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended March 31, 2011. The Board’s objective is that the Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe. The following paragraph summarizes the performance results for the Fund and the Board’s view of such performance.

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 three-, five- and ten-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-year period was in the third quartile. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Comparative Expenses. The Board considered expense comparison data for the Delaware Investments Family of Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the 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 the 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, the 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. The Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group. The Lipper total expenses, for comparative consistency, were shown by Lipper for Class A shares and comparative total expenses including 12b-1 and non 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered fees paid to Delaware Investments for non-management services. The Board’s objective is to limit the Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with that of the Expense Group. The following paragraph summarizes the expense results for the Fund and the Board’s view of such expenses.

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

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

Board Consideration of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by Delaware Investments as the Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed the standardized advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case on all assets when the asset levels specified are exceeded. The Board noted that the fee under the Fund’s management contract fell within the standard structure. The Board also noted that the Fund’s assets exceeded the first breakpoint level. The Board believed that, given the extent to which economics of scale might be realized by the advisor and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement provides a sharing of benefits with the Fund and its shareholders.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Due to independence matters under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules relating to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC, DDLP and DSC) by Macquarie Group, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) has resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust (the Trust) effective April 28, 2010. At a meeting held on February 18, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2011. During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Trust did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trust and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trust nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trust’s financial statements.
