Municipal Bond Funds
April 9,
2013
Municipal bond market conditions
During the Funds fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the U.S. tax-exempt bond market, as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, returned 5.25%. In this favorable environment, higher yielding, lower-rated municipal bonds fared the best overall, with below-investment-grade issues gaining 14.23%, compared to returns of 6.50% and 3.78% generated by the higher-rated BBB and AAA segments of the market, respectively. (Data: Barclays.)
On Jan. 1, 2013, an agreement was reached in Washington, D.C., known as the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The good news for the municipal market was that the deal did not include a 28% cap on the municipal tax exemption.
Fund positioning: maintaining a long-standing approach
Our portfolio management strategy remained consistent throughout the Funds fiscal year. We continued investing by utilizing a bottom-up approach to portfolio construction, 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 we believed justified making the portfolio slightly more defensive.
One of these shifts took place in the final months of the fiscal year. Especially in light of back-to-back years of strong performance in the municipal bond market, we thought it prudent to take a defensive position in an effort to seek to mitigate some of the risk to the Funds from a potential rise in long-term interest rates. This entailed modestly reducing the Funds exposure to longer-maturity securities. In addition, given global macroeconomic challenges, we limited the Funds allocations to certain lower-rated bonds that we believed were potentially at risk. We should note that this shift represented only subtle changes to the Funds portfolios. Throughout the Funds fiscal year, we maintained our usual focus on seeking to generate relative outperformance by emphasizing bonds within the lower tiers of the investment-grade credit ratings.
This is a segment of the market in which we believe our credit research capabilities have the potential to add value to the overall investment process.
Performance effects
Although we slightly reduced the Funds exposure to lower rated credit and decreased positions in bonds with longer maturities, these credits were among the strongest-performing bonds within the Funds. Additionally, the typically maintained overweight positions in these securities during the fiscal year.
Within Delaware Investments Colorado Municipal Income Fund, Inc., the strongest performing bonds tended to include issues within the healthcare sector (one example was issued by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority, with a coupon of 5% and a maturity date of 2040). The weaker performers, meanwhile, included an issue by the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority, which felt much pressure among that commonwealths pension-related challenges and uncertainty surrounding a newly elected governor.
Within Delaware Investments Minnesota Municipal Income Fund, II Inc., notable performers included bonds issued by the Dakota and Washington Counties Housing and Redevelopment Authority. These bonds were issued with a 8.375% coupon, and are scheduled to mature in 2021. Other contributors included tobacco settlement bonds, with an S&P rating of A- and a maturity date of 2031. The positive effects generated by these bonds were offset somewhat by the underperformance of bonds such as those issued by the Laurentian Energy Authority, with a 5.0% coupon and a maturity of 2021. Puerto Rican bonds likewise posed a mild drag on the Funds performance, including bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.
Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund experienced a positive contribution from so-called tobacco settlement bonds. Another notable contributor to the Funds performance was a bond issued by the West Virginia Hospital Finance Authority, with a stated coupon of 9.125% and a maturity date of 2041. Bonds issued out of Puerto Rico, including an issue by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation, were the weakest performers across the Fund.

1 Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or a decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total investment return based on net asset value will be lower than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. |
2 Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to preferred shareholders, if applicable. |
3 Ratio reflects total net investment income less dividends paid to preferred shareholders, if applicable, divided by average net assets applicable to common shareholders. |
4 In March 2012, the Fund issued a new series of 300 variable rate preferred shares, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. |

Municipal Bond Funds
March 31,
2013
Delaware Investments Colorado Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (Colorado Municipal Fund) and Delaware Investments Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II, Inc. (Minnesota Municipal Fund II) are organized as Minnesota corporations and Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund (National Municipal Fund) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (each referred to as a Fund and collectively as the Funds). Colorado Municipal Fund, Minnesota Municipal Fund II and National Municipal Fund are considered diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Funds shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange MKT, the successor to the American Stock Exchange.
The investment objective of each of the Colorado Municipal Fund and Minnesota Municipal Fund II is to provide current income exempt from federal income tax and from state personal income tax, if any, consistent with the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the National Municipal Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital. Each of Colorado Municipal Fund and Minnesota Municipal Fund II seek to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its net assets in investment grade, tax-exempt municipal obligations of its respective state at the time of investment. The National Municipal Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in securities the income from which is exempt from federal income tax.
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of each Funds Board of Directors/Trustees (each a Board, and collectively, the Boards). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security.
Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds 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 Funds tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (March 31, 2010March 31, 2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds financial statements.
Interest and Related Expenses Interest and related expenses include, but are not limited to, interest expense, remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees fees from the Funds participation in inverse floater programs where a Fund has transferred its own bonds to a trust that issues floating rate securities with an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal of the transferred bonds. In conveyance of the bond, the Funds receive the inverse floating rate securities and cash from the trust. As a result of certain rights retained by the Funds, the transfer of the bond is not considered a sale, but rather a form of financing for accounting purposes whereby the cash received is recorded as a liability and interest expense is recorded based on the interest rate of the floating rate securities. Remarketing fees, liquidity fees, and trustees expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. There were no interest and related expenses for the year ended March 31, 2013.
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 a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income monthly and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each 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 Funds may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the year ended March 31, 2013.
