August 1, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

        Six months ago, the Federal Reserve Board was still tightening credit in
an effort to inhibit expected inflation. A final 0.50% increase in the Federal
Funds rate to 6.0% occurred in February after the nation's economy grew at a
brisk 5.1% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 1994.
        In the spring, however, the Fed's worries about inflation turned into
concerns about a slowdown and the possible risk of a mild recession. By the
summer, the Fed began to cut interest rates, a reversal of policy that the bond
market had anticipated well in advance of a 0.25% reduction in the Fed Funds 
rate on July 6.
        Considering that 1994 provided a negative return for nearly all
government funds, the change in Fed policy was welcome. Limited-Term Government
Fund A Class provided an attractive total return of +5.73% (capital change plus
reinvested dividends) at net asset value in the six months ended June 30. The
table below presents the Fund's total return for the first fiscal half of 1995
relative to a comparable intermediate U.S. Treasury Note and a long-term U.S.
Treasury Bond. Overall quality of the portfolio remains AAA.

Limited-Term Government Fund A Class               +5.73%
Three-year U.S. Treasury Note                      +8.66%

        The increase in net asset value that Fund shareholders enjoyed in the
first half may not have been as large as some government funds that bet
aggressively on falling rates. However, we believe the conservative strategy
implemented by Roger A. Early, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, puts
the Fund in a favorable position should the pace of the current economic
expansion gradually increase in the second half of 1995.
        A July 18 survey by the National Association of Home Builders which
predicts an improved construction climate for the next six months is one
indicator of renewed economic growth. Home buying typically picks up when
interest rates drop as sharply as they did during this year's second quarter.
The average fixed rate on a conventional 30-year home loan fell below 8% as the
summer began.

        Of course, falling rates can prompt refinancing, which can have a
negative effect on the value of mortgage-related securities that make up a
substantial share of the Fund's portfolio. However, before the drop, the Fund's
portfolio manager took steps to help protect the Fund from the potential
negative effects of mortgage prepayments that typically occur when interest
rates fall substantially.
        We encourage you to read the remainder of this report, which includes
the portfolio manager's review of the Fund's performance in its first half
ended June 30, 1995, and an explanation of how he has positioned the Fund to
continue to meet its objectives in the coming months. As always, we thank you
for your continued confidence in Delaware Group.

Sincerely,

Only the name has changed...

        We are pleased to announce that effective August 29, 1995, Treasury
Reserves Intermediate Fund has been renamed Limited-Term Government Fund.
        The Fund's objective remains the same -- to provide a high, stable level
of current income while attempting to minimize principal fluctuation and provide
maximum liquidity. The Fund's strategy is to invest primarily in a portfolio of
short- and intermediate-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities as well as debt obligations backed
by such securities. The average weighted maturity of the holdings ranges between
two and five years. We believe the new name reflects this strategy and the
fixed-income securities that are the Fund's primary focus.
        We stress that this is a name change only. We have made no changes to
the Fund's investment policies or strategies. Roger A. Early, whose report
begins on page 4, continues as the Fund's Senior Portfolio Manager. The Fund's
NASDAQ symbol will remain DTRIX. The abbreviated listing of the Fund in THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL and other major dailies is expected to be "LtdGov."

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REVIEW

        In the Fund's first half of 1995, the bond market turned its attention
from concern about inflation and the industrial production pressures of a
booming economy to speculation about a possible recession, weak consumer
spending and bloated inventories. Investors in U.S. Government securities
recovered some of 1994's capital losses, as intermediate-term interest rates
declined more than 1.8 percentage points through June, pushing bond prices
higher.
        In the six months through June, Limited-Term Government Fund Class A
shares provided a total return of +5.73% at net asset value while employing a
relatively defensive strategy. Compare that to the +5.6% average ANNUAL return
for intermediate bonds since the end of World War II as tracked by Ibbotson and
Sinquefeld, an investment research firm, and you can see that the 1995 rally
in bonds has been very pronounced.
        The Fund shortened its average duration from 2.5 years as of December
31, to 2.0 years, as of June 30, in an attempt to increase stability of
principal. Duration is the most common measure of a bond's sensitivity to
changes in interest rates. It indicates the approximate percentage of change in
a bond's price given a 1% change in interest rates.
        This year's drop in interest rates took place as bondholders witnessed a
slowing in economic activity combined with only a modest increase in consumer
prices. In fact, the bond rally was unusual in that it occurred despite a final
0.50% rate increase by the Federal Reserve Board in early February.
Traditionally, "fighting the Fed" or anticipating that the bond market will move
in the opposite direction of the Federal Reserve's most recent policy has not
been a successful strategy for fixed-income investors. But the first half of
1995 was different, especially for longer term bonds, which had the steepest
decline in yield.
        In addition to concerns about "fighting the Fed," our view is that
sustained bond rallies usually start during a recession. Several economic
indicators that have consistently preceded recessions and sustained bond rallies
include a major drop in stock prices and a yield curve in which short-term rates
are higher than long-term rates. These events had not yet occurred by June 30.
With this in mind, and knowing that bond price declines normally continue
through the end of economic expansions, we concluded that the rally would not be
sustained.

      This chart shows how much interest rates on U.S. Treasury
      securities dropped between January and June this year.
      Note tht the interest rate spread between very short maturity
      securities (three-month T-Bills) and intermediate-term
      securities (two- to five-year maturity Treasury Notes) has
      "flattened" considerably since the start of the year.

        To us, the economy's current condition looks a lot like the growth
slowdowns of 1966-1967 and 1986. During both periods, interest rates declined,
spurring renewed economic growth. In the mid-1960s and mid-1980s, the economy,
like the economy of the mid-1990s, had enjoyed several years of expansion.
Still, there was more room to grow.
        Consequently, we are looking for an economic rebound in the second half
of 1995, especially given the fact that bonds rallied in anticipation of the
Federal Reserve Board's decision to cut interest rates on July 6. As you can see
from the chart to the left, conventional mortgage rates tumbled to 7.67% by
early June, down sharply from a December 1994 peak of 9.45%, suggesting there
may be a greater level of home buying later this year.

This chart shows that the average interest rate consumers paid on new
conventional fixed-rate mortgages dropped substantially between
December and June. The typical effect of a rate decline of this magnitude
is to generate home buying because consumers can enjoy interest savings
of more than $125 a month on a 30-year term, $100,000 mortgage.


A CONSERVATIVE PORTFOLIO
        Despite generating higher income for investors than comparable
maturity U.S. Treasury notes, Limited-Term Government Fund's defensive
strategy caused it to lag the average return of two- to five-year maturity 
government funds in the first half of 1995, as measured by Lipper Analytical 
Services, an evaluator of mutual funds. We believed it was prudent to maintain 
a conservative portfolio that provided a desirable risk/reward profile, with 
emphasis on high income and protection of principal.
        The Fund's portfolio had, as of June 30, an average effective maturity
of 3.5 years, down from 4.4 years in December. The average overall quality of
the portfolio remained AAA, the highest rating available.
        Throughout the first half of 1995, the Fund was invested primarily in
U.S. Government securities, with an emphasis on mortgage-backed securities.
About 12% of the portfolio was in high-quality corporate and asset-backed
securities such as auto loans and credit card debt. Emphasis on residential
mortgages has given the Fund a yield-to-maturity almost 1% higher than a
comparable maturity U.S. Treasury Note. We expect to maintain the Fund's focus
in this defensive, better yielding sector.

                                                                          5
<PAGE>

                                                          COLONIAL OBJECTS

        The sharp drop in interest rates this year has the potential to trigger
refinancing activity, increasing mortgage prepayments. However, we believe the
Fund's mortgages are less likely to be refinanced because many loans date from
the 1986-1987 period, and have already been through several periods of heavy
refinancing activity. We think the Fund's sensitivity in this area is more
limited than the market as a whole.
        With the potential for more bond market volatility during the second
half of 1995, the Fund's disciplined investment strategy aims to serve the needs
of investors targeting the attractive characteristics of the
short-to-intermediate government bond market.

MORE OR LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL COST. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF
FUTURE RESULTS.

(1) CLASS A returns reflect the impact of the 3.00% maximum sales charge and the
12b-1 fee, and take into account the reinvestment of all distributions.

(2) CLASS B performance reflects the reinvestment of all distributions. Class B
shares do not carry a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a 1% annual
distribution and service fee. They are subject to a deferred sales charge of up
to 2% if redeemed before the end of the fourth year. Class B six-month total
returns for the period ending June 30, 1995 were +5.28% (excluding sales charge)
and +3.28% (including sales charge). Performance "excluding sales charge"
assumes the investment was not redeemed. Class B was initially offered on May 2,
1994.

The average annual total returns for the lifetime, five-year and one-year
periods and the unannualized total return for the six-month period ended June
30, 1995 for Limited-Term Government Fund's Institutional Class, which is
available without sales or asset-based distribution charges only to certain
eligible institutional accounts, were +7.08%, +6.78%, +6.65% and +5.80%
respectively. The Institutional Class was initially made available September 2,
1987; performance prior to that date is based on the performance of Class A,
adjusted to eliminate the effect of the sales charge, but not Class A's
asset-based distribution charge.

DELAWARE GROUP LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUNDS, INC.-
LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995
(Unaudited)


Delaware Group Limited-Term Government Funds, Inc. - Limited-Term Government
Fund, (formerly known as Delaware Group Treasury Reserves, Inc. - Treasury
Reserves Intermediate Series) (the "Fund"), a series of Delaware Group
Limited-Term Government Funds, Inc., (the "Company"), is registered as a
diversified open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The Company is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Fund offers three
classes of shares.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies are in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Fund for financial
statement preparation:

SECURITY VALUATION - Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last
quoted sales price as of 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Securities not listed
on an exchange are valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and asked prices.
Long-term debt securities are valued by an independent pricing service when such
prices are believed to reflect the fair value of such securities. Money market
instruments having less than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company and make the requisite distributions to shareholders.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial
statements.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - The Fund may invest in a pooled cash account along with
other members of the Delaware Group Family of Funds. The aggregate daily balance
of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by
obligations of the U.S. Government. The respective collateral is held by the
Fund's custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase
agreements. Each repurchase agreement is 100% collateralized. However, in the
event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization
of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

CLASS ACCOUNTING - Investment income, common expenses and gain (loss) are
allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets.
Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly
to that class.

OTHER - Expenses common to all funds within the Delaware Group Family of Funds
are allocated amongst the funds on the basis of average net assets. Security
transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold
(trade date). 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 an accrual basis. Original issue discounts are accreted to
interest income over the lives of the respective securities. The Fund declares
dividends daily from net investment income and pays such dividends monthly.

2. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES 
In accordance with the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund
pays Delaware Management Company, Inc. (DMC), the investment manager of the
Fund, an annual fee which is calculated daily at the rate of 0.50% of average
daily net assets of the Fund less fees paid to the independent directors. At
June 30, 1995, the Fund had a liability for Investment Management fees and other
expenses payable to DMC for $22,819.

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Distributors,
L.P. (DDLP), the Distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual fee not to
exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the A Class and 1.00% of the
average daily net assets of the B Class. No distribution expenses are paid by
the Institutional Class. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Fund paid
DDLP $92,016 for commissions earned on sales of Limited-Term Government Fund A
shares. At June 30, 1995, the Fund had a liability for distribution fees and
other expenses payable to DDLP for $9,724.

The Fund has engaged Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC,
to serve as dividend disbursing and transfer agent for the Fund. For the six
months ended June 30, 1995, the Fund expensed $781,114 for these services. At
June 30, 1995, the Fund had a liability for such fees and other expenses payable
to DSC for $22,882.

Certain officers of the Investment Manager are officers, directors and/or
employees of the Fund. These officers, directors and employees are paid no
compensation by the Fund.

On April 3, 1995, Delaware Management Holdings, Inc., the indirect parent of
DMC, DDLP and DSC, through a merger transaction (the "Merger") became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. Other than the
resulting change in ownership, the Merger will not materially change the manner
in which DMC, DDLP or DSC have heretofore conducted their relationship with the
Fund.

                                                                            11

5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Fund invests in securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of
mortgages or consumer loans. Prepayment of these loans may shorten the stated
maturity of the respective obligation and may result in a loss of premium, if
any has been paid.

As a writer of call options, the Fund receives a premium at the outset which is
recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value
of the option written. The Fund bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in
the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the Fund
would incur a gain, to the extent of the premiums, if the price of the
underlying financial instrument decreases between the date the option is written
and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the Fund would
realize a loss, if the price on the financial instrument increases between those
dates.
