Portfolio management review
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund	March 12, 2013

Performance preview (for the year ended February 28, 2013)
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (Class A shares)	1-year return	+	5.73	%
Barclays Municipal Bond Index (benchmark)	1-year return	+	5.01	%
Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds	1-year return	+	5.40	%

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
For complete, annualized performance for Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund, please see the table on page 4.
The performance of Class A shares excludes the applicable sales charge and reflects the reinvestment of all distributions.
Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
The Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds Average compares funds that limit assets to those securities that are exempt from taxation in Pennsylvania (double tax-exempt) or a city in Pennsylvania (triple tax-exempt).

Unless otherwise noted, market returns and economic data cited below in the management review are based on sources that include Bloomberg, Barclays, the U.S. Federal Reserve, and the Pennsylvania Office of the Budget.

Municipal bond market conditions

Broadly speaking, municipal bonds generated positive performance during the Fund’s fiscal year, supported by circumstances that included:

Investors continuing to search for income by accepting more interest rate risk as well as credit risk. This so-called “reach for yield” disproportionately lifted the prices of lower-rated and longer-dated municipal bonds.
Investors’ expectation of higher income taxes in 2013, which boosted demand for tax-exempt securities.

During the Fund’s fiscal year, the U.S. tax-exempt bond market, as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, returned 5.01%. This index generated positive performance in 10 of 12 months during this period.

In this favorable environment, higher-yielding, lower-rated municipal bonds fared the best overall, with below-investment-grade-rated issues gaining 14.31%, compared to returns of 7.54% and 3.47% for the higher-rated BBB and AAA segments of the market, respectively. (Rates of return: Barclays.)

Similarly, longer-dated bonds outperformed their shorter-dated counterparts. Securities with maturities of 22 years or more advanced by approximately 8.32% during the fiscal year, compared with 5.12% for the 10-year maturity segment and just 2.41% for the 5-year segment. (Data: Barclays.)

Pennsylvania’s economic environment

Pennsylvania showed economic resilience during the Fund’s fiscal year. The state continued to benefit from a diverse and relatively stable economy, supported in part by its large healthcare, higher education, and natural resource sectors. Pennsylvania’s monthly unemployment rate generally remained on par with national levels. Other developments included:

Pennsylvania’s tax revenue growth from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012, aided by revenues derived from personal income taxes.

Portfolio management review
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund

General fund revenues that came in 1.4% above original estimates through the first six months of fiscal 2013.
The commonwealth’s lawmakers passing a $27.7 billion general fund budget for fiscal 2013. The budget is based on an overall goal of fiscal restraint, aiming to follow a combination of tax reductions and cost containment. At the same time, the budget aims to provide a degree of protection for important programs in areas like education and human services.

Fund performance

For the fiscal year ended Feb. 28, 2013, Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund returned +5.73% for Class A shares at net asset value and +0.96% at maximum offer price (both figures reflect all distributions reinvested). For the same period, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned +5.01%. For complete, annualized performance of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund, please see the table on page 4.

Maintaining our longstanding approach

Our portfolio management strategy remained consistent throughout the fiscal year. We continued investing on a bottom-up basis, meaning that we evaluated investment opportunities individually based on thorough research; ultimately, we selected bonds that we believed offered a favorable balance between risk and potential reward.

We were also mindful of market shifts that could lead to new opportunities (or risks) for investors. Several such situations occurred during the fiscal year, as risks emerged that justified making the portfolio slightly more defensive.

One such shift took place in the final months of the fiscal year. Especially in light of back-to-back years of very strong performance in the municipal bond market, we thought it prudent to increase the Fund’s protection from a potential rise in long-term interest rates. This entailed modestly reducing the Fund’s exposure to longer-maturity securities. In addition, given global macroeconomic challenges, we limited the Fund’s allocation to certain lower-rated bonds that we believed were potentially at risk, while still remaining overweight in the lower- and mid-quality tiers of the market.

We also increased the portfolio’s defensiveness by decreasing its exposure to Puerto Rico-domiciled securities. (Interest income derived from Puerto Rico bonds is generally tax exempt for residents of all 50 states). We had begun selling a small portion of the Fund’s Puerto Rico holdings even before December 2012, when Moody’s downgraded the U.S. territory’s credit rating to Baa3 from Baa1. We also swapped some of the Fund’s Puerto Rico sales tax bonds for more-senior securities of the same issuers, while selling general obligation debt and using the proceeds to buy what we deemed to be more conservative electric utility bonds. We saw the latter as less vulnerable to the territory’s financial challenges.

We should note that these defensive shifts represented only subtle changes to the Fund’s portfolio. Throughout the Fund’s fiscal year, we maintained our usual focus on seeking to generate relative outperformance by emphasizing bonds with mid-investment-grade credit ratings. This is a segment of the market in which we believe our credit research capabilities add significant value to the overall investment process.

Strength in student housing, challenges in Puerto Rico

The Fund’s portfolio benefited from its allocation to bonds rated below investment grade (rated below BBB), as well as its allocation to bonds rated BBB. Both types of securities significantly outperformed the Fund’s broad benchmark index. At the sector level, the Fund’s allocation to corporate-backed industrial development revenue bonds (essentially corporate bonds that have the same tax benefits as municipal bonds), had positive effects on relative performance. Education and healthcare bonds also contributed.

On an individual bond basis, several student housing bonds provided noteworthy performance, led by nonrated Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority bonds. To a somewhat lesser extent, the Fund’s results were also helped by Pennsylvania State Higher Education Facility bonds. These securities, with a 4% coupon and Baa3 credit rating from Moody’s, were issued to raise money for a student housing project at Shippensburg University in central Pennsylvania. The latter securities gained more than 15% during the fiscal year.

Against a backdrop of strong fundamentals, the majority of the Fund’s holdings appreciated in value during the fiscal year. Notable laggards, however, included two Puerto Rico bonds; both securities declined modestly amid the commonwealth’s pension-related challenges and uncertainty surrounding a newly elected governor.

Performance summary
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund	February 28, 2013

The performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please obtain the performance data current for the most recent month end by calling 800 523-1918 or visiting our website at delawareinvestments.com/performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

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

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund performance” chart. The current expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 5. 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 0.29% of average daily net assets. This fee has been contractually limited to 0.25% of average daily net assets from June 28, 2012, through June 28, 2013. Furthermore, 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 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) 0.30% (currently limited to 0.25%) of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shares currently bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Class B shares may be purchased only through dividend reinvestment and certain permitted exchanges as described in the prospectus. Please see the prospectus for additional

information on Class B shares. Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 4.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. They are also subject to an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately eight years after purchase. Ten-year and lifetime performance figures for Class B shares reflect conversion to Class A shares after approximately eight years.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

²The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Investments has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees in order to prevent total fund operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses) from exceeding 0.64% of the Fund’s average daily net assets from June 28, 2012, through June 28, 2013. Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements.

Fund expense ratios	Class A	Class B	Class C

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from September 1, 2012 to February 28, 2013 (Unaudited)

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 Sept. 1, 2012 to Feb. 28, 2013.

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	February 28, 2013

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 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 certain Pennsylvania state and local taxes, 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. 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 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 for all open federal income tax years (Feb. 28, 2010 – Feb. 28, 2013), 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.

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

Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments^® Family of Funds are generally allocated among 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 using the effective interest method. 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 year ended Feb. 28, 2013.

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 year ended Feb. 28, 2013, the Fund earned $292 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.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund

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

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, 2013. 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 year ended February 28, 2013, the Fund was charged $ 26,942 for these services.

DSC is also the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of the Fund. The Fund pays DSC a monthly asset-based fee for these services. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to the Fund. Sub-transfer agency fees are passed on to and paid directly by the Fund.

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 of 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 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 that were acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (ii) 0.30% (currently waived to 0.25% through June 28, 2013) of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shareholders currently bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net assets, based upon the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board.

At Feb. 28, 2013, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Investment management fees payable to DMC	$202,452
Dividend disbursing, transfer agent and fund accounting
oversight fees and other expenses payable to DSC	11,653
Distribution fees payable to DDLP	126,879
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates*	7,086

*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, 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 year ended Feb. 28, 2013, the Fund was charged $14,517 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

For the year ended Feb. 28, 2013, DDLP earned $ 76,217 for commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. For the year ended February 28, 2013, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions of $ 911, $ 0 and $1,597 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 year ended Feb. 28, 2013, the Fund made purchases of $126,357,884 and sales of $106,845,698 of investment securities other than short-term investments.

At Feb. 28, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $508,873,504. At Feb. 28, 2013, net unrealized appreciation was $51,422,892, of which $51,510,823 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $87,931 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

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, exchange-traded options contracts)

Level 2 –	other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are

	observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

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

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

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Feb. 28, 2013:

	Level 2
Municipal Bonds	$558,296,396
Short-Term Investments	2,000,000
Total	$560,296,396

During the year ended February 28, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to the Fund. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended Feb. 28, 2013 and Feb. 29, 2012 was as follows:

7. Line of Credit

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments^® Family of Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $125,000,000 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. 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. 13, 2012.

On Nov. 13, 2012, the Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $125,000,000 revolving line of credit. The agreement is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on Nov. 12, 2013. The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of Feb. 28, 2013 or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

The Fund concentrates its investments in securities issued by municipalities mainly in Pennsylvania, and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Fund has the flexibility to invest in issuers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands whose bonds are also generally free from Pennsylvania state personal income tax.

The value of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the state, 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 Feb. 28, 2013, 11.58% 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

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 Feb. 28, 2013, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Fund’s Liquidity Procedures.

9. 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.

10. Subsequent Events

Management has determined no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to Feb. 28, 2013 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent
registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Delaware Group^® State Tax-Free Income Trust
and the Shareholders of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (constituting Delaware Group State Tax-Free Income Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at February 28, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s 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 February 28, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2010 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated April 21, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
