LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder,
During the 12 months ended November 30, 2004, longer-term interest rates moved down, then up, eventually settling near their levels at the start of the period. Shorter-term interest rates, on the other hand, rose sharply. In this volatile environment, the Investor Shares of Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund produced a 3.3% return, superior to the average return of competing funds. (The Admiral Shares returned 3.4%.) The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 1.0% while preserving a net asset value of $1 per share, as is expected but not guaranteed.

A lower-cost class of shares available to many longtime shareholders and to those with significant investments in the fund.

DEFYING EXPECTATIONS, LONGER-TERM YIELDS FINISHED WHERE THEY STARTED
As the fiscal year began, many investors and analysts expected a sharp rise in bond yields from a combination of an improving economy, rising corporate profits, and the Federal Reserve Board’s anticipated return to its traditional role of fighting inflation. However, that steep increase never fully materialized during the period, at least not at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.
Initially, bond prices rose and yields fell through March; then the trend sharply reversed, and ultimately yields settled back to roughly where they began. At fiscal year-end, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 4.35%, only 2 basis points (0.02 percentage point) higher than at the start of the period. Mixed signals contributed to bonds’ volatility, including a less-than-robust rate of job growth, record high prices for crude oil, and continuing problems in Iraq and elsewhere. All such factors can alter investors’ perception of bonds’ attractiveness relative to other investment alternatives.

Yields of fixed income securities at the shorter end of the maturity spectrum, which are usually more strongly affected by the Fed’s interest rate moves, did rise significantly during the 12 months, a period in which the Fed doubled the target federal funds rate to 2.00% through four quarter-point increases. The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill, a proxy for money market yields, rose from 0.93% to 2.22% over the fiscal year.

Overall, the taxable investment-grade bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.4%. The Lehman Municipal Bond Index returned 4.1%. Corporate bonds, particularly those from below-investment-grade issuers, generally did better than government securities. The Lehman High Yield Index returned 12.0%.
STOCKS ENDED ON A STRONG NOTE
Stock investors received an early holiday gift: A surge in equity prices in November served as a nice bookend to a market rally at the start of the fiscal year, more than offsetting a general decline in the middle. The broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, returned 13.6% for the full 12 months.
The gains were broadly based, with the largest advances made by energy- related stocks. Generally, small-capitalization stocks outpaced large-caps, and value stocks—whose prices are considered low relative to earnings, book value, and other measures—outperformed their growth counterparts.
Markets overseas, particularly emerging markets, outpaced the U.S. market even without taking into account the effect of currency exchanges. The burgeoning trade and federal budget deficits were factors in the continued fall in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to most other major currencies. The weak dollar added several percentage points to returns from foreign investments for U.S.-based investors.
INTEREST RATES SEESAWED
The New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund was positioned effectively for the volatile interest-rate environment. The advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, kept the fund’s duration (a measure of sensitivity to interest rates) at the low end of its typical range during the first half of the fiscal year, providing some protection from rising rates. During the second half, the advisor allowed the portfolio’s duration to drift back to the neutral range, moderating the defensive posture as bond prices rallied.
The 12-month total return of 3.3% for the fund’s Investor Shares exceeded the average return of competing funds, reflecting both the advisor’s skill and the return-enhancing benefit of Vanguard’s low expense ratios. (Please see page 13 for more information about costs.)
3
A less visible benefit of our cost advantage is that the advisor can deliver competitive returns without sacrificing portfolio quality or taking undue risks in hopes of making up for the higher costs.
Among shorter-term securities, interest rates moved steadily higher, which was good news for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund. At the start of the fiscal year, the fund yielded 0.88%. By year-end, the yield was a still modest, but much improved, 1.55%. The fund’s 12-month total return of 1.0% exceeded the average result for its peer group, again a testament to the advisor’s skill and Vanguard’s cost advantage.
SKILL, DISCIPLINE, AND LOW COSTS HAVE ENHANCED LONGER-TERM RETURNS
The same strategies that produced strong relative returns during the past 12 months—disciplined duration management, an emphasis on high-quality securities, and low costs—have contributed to the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Funds’ excellent long-term results.
The table below presents the ten-year annualized returns of the Money Market and Long-Term Funds together with the average results for their respective peer groups over the period. We also show the growth of a hypothetical initial investment of $10,000 in each over the ten years. In both cases, the Vanguard funds created more wealth for shareholders than the comparative standards.
DIFFERENT QUESTIONS, FAMILIAR ANSWERS
As we look back at the past 12 months, each asset class has seemed to represent a constantly changing combination of risk and opportunity. Are interest rates at a transient low or a long-term plateau? Are stock valuations stretched or consistent with corporate fundamentals? In other words, it has been just like every other year. Our recommendation now, just as it has been during periods of more extreme stock and bond

REPORT FROM THE ADVISOR
Interest rates were volatile throughout the 2004 fiscal year, hitting a low early in March, rising markedly during the summer, and then declining again at the period’s close. The New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund’s Investor Shares performed well in this unsettled environment, exceeding the average return of competing funds. The 1.0% return of the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund also topped the average return of its peer group.
ECONOMY EXPANDED SOLIDLY
Over the 12 months ended November 30, the economy expanded at a solid rate of 4.0%, near a level last seen in the late 1990s. Growth in consumer spending and business investment drove much of the increase, even as the recent run-up in oil prices put pressure on consumer and corporate cash flow. The current-account deficit (which includes the trade deficit) remained at a record high 5.6% of gross domestic product.
Although payrolls expanded along with the economy, job growth slowed in the third quarter of calendar 2004, falling below the rate considered sufficient to reduce the level of unemployment over time. The U.S. unemployment rate nevertheless stood at 5.4% in November, a low level by historical norms. As our fiscal year ended, most leading indicators suggested that labor market conditions remained promising for increased hiring.
Investment Philosophy
The advisor believes that each fund, while operating within stated maturity and stringent quality targets, can achieve a relatively high level of current income that is exempt from federal and New Jersey income taxes by investing in high-quality securities issued by New Jersey state, county, and municipal governments.
Despite rising oil prices, various inflationary measures decelerated in the third calendar quarter, remaining near historical lows. Economic data generally appeared to confirm the Federal Reserve Board’s view that the acceleration in inflation witnessed earlier in 2004 was “temporary.” Indeed, Fed officials reiterated that longer-term inflation expectations were low and stable.
During the fiscal year, the Fed’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised short-term interest rates four times. By the end of November, the
6
target federal funds rate stood at 2.0%. The FOMC has repeatedly signaled its intention to raise rates further in order to remove its considerable monetary accommodation (i.e., a negative inflation-adjusted federal funds rate), although it has noted that future decisions are contingent on the strength of economic data.
MUNICIPAL BONDS TRAILED TREASURIES
During the fiscal year, the yields of U.S. Treasury bonds with maturities of more than 10 years were generally stable. (The yield of the 30-year bond actually fell.) The picture was very different for shorter maturities, as the Fed’s actions placed upward pressure on yields.
In the municipal bond market, yields crept higher among long-maturity bonds and rose more sharply among short-term securities, causing the municipal market to underperform the Treasury market except among the very shortest maturities. As of November 30, the ratios of municipal bond yields to the yields of Treasury bonds of comparable maturity were roughly at the midpoint of their 12-month highs and lows. A 10-year AAA general obligation tax-exempt bond yielded about 84% of its U.S. Treasury counterpart, suggesting that municipal bonds offered attractive after-tax yields relative to Treasuries.

The supply of municipal bonds nationally declined 12.8% during the fiscal year, though issuance rates remained above longer-term trends. If interest rates continue to rise, issuance could decline further—generally a positive development for municipal bond investors.
During the year, New Jersey officials and lawmakers balanced a difficult budget shortfall with increased income taxes for wealthy residents and the securitization of some state assets. That left a structural budget gap in existence for the state’s 2005 fiscal year. The August announcement of Governor James E. McGreevey’s resignation, which took effect in
7
mid-November, resulted in a period of fiscal uncertainty. As calendar 2004 neared a close, the state’s financial flexibility remained very limited, although New Jersey’s economy was benefiting from the nationwide economic recovery.
THE VANGUARD FUNDS EMPHASIZED RISK CONTROL AND QUALITY
Throughout the fiscal year, the Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Funds maintained their emphasis on the market’s high-quality securities. At the start of the period, the Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund’s duration was near the short end of its typical range, moderating the fund’s interest-rate sensitivity. As the year progressed, we allowed the duration to drift back toward a neutral stance.
A key reason for the funds’ strong results, both recently and over the long term, is the combination of conservative portfolio management with low operating costs, which reduces the need to take unnecessary risks in pursuit of return. Vanguard’s expense advantage is important in any market environment, but it’s especially critical in the current environment of low yields.

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.
Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.
Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.
Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations.
Average Weighted Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s interest income. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days (7 days for money market funds) and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.
Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

As of 11/30/2004 | PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the funds. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The annualized yield shown for this fund reflects current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns. For bond funds, both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares. |

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• | Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, 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 given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.” |
• | Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. |

* | The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds' annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, 0.11%; for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.13% for Investor Shares and .08% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as "Expenses Paid" are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period. |

Note that the expenses shown in the table on page 13 are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus. If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

As of 11/30/2004 | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund’s municipal bond holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period and information on credit enhancements (insurance or letters of credit). Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Municipal Bonds to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income is usually zero because the fund distributes its net income to shareholders as a dividend each day. Any realized gains must be distributed annually, so the bulk of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The balance shown for Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximates the amount available to distribute to shareholders as taxable capital gains as of the statement date, but may differ because certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net realized gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
The fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
This Statement shows interest income earned by each fund during the reporting period, and details the operating expenses charged to each class of its shares. These expenses directly reduce the amount of investment income available to pay to shareholders as tax-exempt income dividends. This Statement also shows any Net Gain (Loss) realized on the sale of investments, and the increase or decrease in the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of investments during the period. For money market funds, Realized Net Gain (Loss) should always be minimal, and Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) should be zero.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
This Statement shows how each fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. Because the fund distributes its income to shareholders each day, the amounts of Distributions—Net Investment Income generally equal the net income earned as shown under the Operations section. The amounts of Distributions—Realized Capital Gain may not match the capital gains shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the net amount shareholders invested in or redeemed from the fund. Distributions and Capital Share Transactions are shown separately for each class of shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
This table summarizes each fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. It also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. These data will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; how much it costs to operate the fund; and the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year. Money market funds are not required to report a Portfolio Turnover Rate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Funds comprise the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, each of which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Each fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of New Jersey.
The Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria. The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund offers only Investor Shares.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such policies in preparing their financial statements.
1. | Security Valuation: Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund: Investment securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the funds’ pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. |
2. | Futures Contracts: The Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund may use Municipal Bond Index, U.S. Treasury Bond, and U.S. Treasury Note futures contracts, with the objectives of enhancing returns, managing interest rate risk, maintaining liquidity, diversifying credit risk, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund may also seek to take advantage of price differences among bond market sectors by simultaneously buying futures (or bonds) of one market sector and selling futures (or bonds) of another sector. Futures contracts may also be used to simulate a fully invested position in the underlying bonds while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. |
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses). |
3. | Federal Income Taxes: Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. |
4. | Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
5. | Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific |
34
securities sold. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. |
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. |
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to each fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. Each fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At November 30, 2004, the funds had contributed capital to Vanguard (included in Other Assets) of:
New Jersey Tax-Exempt Fund | Capital Contribution to Vanguard (000) | Percentage of Fund Net Assets | Percentage of Vanguard's Capitalization |
---|---|---|---|
Money Market | $291 | 0.01% | 0.29% |
Long-Term | 215 | 0.01 | 0.21 |
The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. The funds’ investment advisor may direct new issue purchases, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to underwriters who have agreed to rebate or credit to the funds part of the underwriting fees generated. Such rebates or credits are used solely to reduce the funds’ management and administrative expenses. The funds’ custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the funds maintain cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody accounts. For the year ended November 30, 2004, these arrangements reduced the Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund’s management and administrative expenses by $15,000 and custodian fees by $1,000.
D. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.
The Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $669,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at November 30, 2004, the Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund had capital gains of $10,852,000 available for distribution, which includes $643,000 of short-term gains. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes. The Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund had realized losses totaling $2,242,000 through November 30, 2004, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of unrealized appreciation on investment securities for tax purposes.
At November 30, 2004, net unrealized appreciation of Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund investment securities for tax purposes was $80,343,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $83,948,000 on

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund (constituting Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at November 30, 2004, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
