Disclosure of Fund expenses

For the six-month period from September 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014 (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, 2013 to Feb. 28, 2014.

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.

Class B	1,000.00	1,059.30	0.89%	4.54
Class C	1,000.00	1,056.70	1.64%	8.36

Hypothetical 5% return (5% return before expenses)
Class A	$1,000.00	$1,020.43	0.88%	$4.41

Institutional Class**	1,000.00	1,021.62	0.64%	3.21

* “Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

† Because actual returns reflect only the most recent six-month period, the returns shown may differ significantly from fiscal year returns.

** The Institutional Class shares commenced on Dec. 31, 2013. The actual ending account value and the expenses paid during the period reflect a shorter period, 60 days. The hypothetical example assumes the entire half year period.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund	February 28, 2014 (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, 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. 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 4.00% 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 1.00%, 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 Pennsylvania Fund is to seek a high level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax and Pennsylvania state and personal income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital.

In May 2013, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (Board) approved changing the Fund’s fiscal year-end from February 28 to August 31, effective Aug. 31, 2013.

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. 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

Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (Feb. 28, 2010–Aug. 31, 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 the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. The Fund may distribute 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 may be used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014.

The 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 in dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses and appears on the statement of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.” For the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014, the Fund earned $86 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.

28

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 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 0.64% of the Fund’s average daily net assets from Sept. 1, 2013 through Feb. 28, 2014.* 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 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 Feb. 28, 2014, the Fund was charged $11,504 for these services.

DSC is also the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays DSC fees 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. This amount is included in the statement of operations as dividend and disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses. For the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014, the amount charged by DSC was $52,534. 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 not to exceed 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and C shares. Effective Oct. 1, 2013, the Class A shares’ distribution and service fees have been revised to reflect a permanent reduction in their fees to 0.25%. Prior to Oct. 1, 2013, the Fund paid an annual distribution and service fee of 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Class A 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 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 shareholders will 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. DDLP has contracted to waive distribution and service fees of Class B shares from exceeding 0.25% of average daily net assets from Sept. 1, 2013 through Feb. 28, 2014.** Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service expenses.

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

As provided in the investment management agreement, the 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 the Fund. For the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014, the Fund was charged $7,279 for internal legal, tax and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/ or its affiliates’ employees.

For the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014, DDLP earned $11,730 for commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. For the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions on redemptions of the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares, respectively, and these commissions were entirely used to offset upfront commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares. The amounts received were as follows:

Class A	$	9,083
Class C		1,807

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.

*	The contractual waiver period is June 28, 2012 through Dec. 29, 2014.
**	The contractual waiver period is July 1, 2013 through Dec. 29, 2014.

3. Investments

For the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014, the Fund made purchases of $21,704,836 and sales of $43,673,883 of investment securities other than short-term investments.

At Feb. 28, 2014, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At Feb. 28, 2014, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were as follows:

Cost of investments	$	450,176,685
Aggregate unrealized appreciation		26,961,632
Aggregate unrealized depreciation		(4,809,315	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	22,152,317

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 Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

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

30

Loss carryforward character
Short-term		Long-term
$	1,051,189	$	354,552

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, 2014:

	Level 2
Municipal Bonds	$	472,329,002

During the six months ended Feb. 28, 2014, 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 beginning of the reporting period.

3. Investments (continued)

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim or end of the period in relation to net assets. At Feb. 28, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments.

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.

5. 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

32

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. 12, 2013.

On Nov. 12, 2013, the Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $225,000,000 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. 10, 2014.

The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of Feb. 28, 2014 or at any time during the period then ended.

6. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risk

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 U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. 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, U.S. territories, 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 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 the Fund. At Feb. 28, 2014, 7.12% of the Fund’s net assets were insured by bond insurers. These securities have been identified in the schedule of investments.

The Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection 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. The 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 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 Financial Services LLC, 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, 2014, no securities held by the Fund have been determined to be illiquid under the Fund’s Liquidity Procedures. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the schedule of investments.

7. 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.

8. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to Feb. 28, 2014 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.
