July 1996

Dear Policyholder:


         During the first half of 1996, stronger than expected U.S. economic
growth has had a mixed effect on financial markets. Volatility in both the U.S.
stock and bond markets returned to historical norms amid concern about
inflation.
         Unmanaged domestic equity indexes performed well while the bond market
generally provided lackluster returns. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index provided
a total return of +10.10% (with dividends reinvested) for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.
         However, some stock investors began to express concern that a healthy
domestic job market would generate substantially higher prices for goods and
services. This led to a general decline in U.S. stock prices in July.
         The international scene has been brighter. Beyond our shores, inflation
is not a dominant issue. In Europe and Asia, governments are seeking to
stimulate growth by cutting interest rates and privatizing state-run companies.
For U.S. investors, this may provide an opportunity because an investment
program that combines foreign and domestic elements may be less volatile than
either type of investment alone.
         U.S. and international equity series offered through Delaware Group
Premium Fund,which are the investment options of Delaware Medallion Variable
Annuity*, generally mirrored stock market returns here and abroad.
         Bond investments reflected the fact that long-term U.S. interest rates
- -- as measured by 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds -- rose more than 100 basis points
(1%) to more than 7% since January. To help bond investors diversify their
holdings, we are pleased to report that we began offering the Global Bond Series
during the period.
         As of this writing, the U.S. stock market appeared to be undergoing its
first major correction since 1990. During times of increased volatility, we
believe it is important to maintain a rational and long-term perspective.
Remember that investments tend to perform in cyclical patterns.
         We expect that interest rates are near a peak because we believe the
recent energetic pace of U.S. economic growth is not sustainable. In our
opinion, the Federal Reserve Board will not let inflation accelerate nor tighten
credit to the point where the economy would slip into recession.
         At Delaware Group, we firmly believe that a long-term outlook is the
key to investment success. We encourage you to read the remainder of the report,
which includes a discussion of the performance of the various Series of the
Premium Fund through June 30. We hope to have the opportunity to meet your
financial needs for many years to come.

Sincerely,

/s/ Wayne A. Stork

Delaware Group Premium Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1996
(Unaudited)

Delaware Group Premium Fund,  Inc. (the "Fund"),  is registered as a diversified
open-end  investment  company  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as
amended.  The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation and offers ten series:
the Equity/Income  Series,  the High Yield Series,  the Capital Reserves Series,
the Multiple Strategy Series,  the Money Market Series,  the Growth Series,  the
International  Equity Series,  the Emerging Growth Series,  the Value Series and
the Global Bond Series (the  "Series").  The shares of the Fund are sold only to
separate accounts of life insurance companies.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following  accounting  policies are in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Fund:

Security Valuation - Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last
quoted sales price as of 4:00 pm on the valuation date. Securities not traded or
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 and are believed to reflect the fair value of such securities.
Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price
before the time when the Fund is valued. Money market instruments having less
than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost.

Federal Income Taxes - Each Series 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 - Each Series may invest in a pooled cash account along
with other members of the Delaware Group 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 each
Series' custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase
agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 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.

Foreign Currencies - The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into the U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of
such currencies against the U.S. dollar as of 3:00 pm EST. Forward foreign
currency contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices of
the contracts. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the
contract is on interim date for which quotations are not available.

Other - Expenses common to all funds within the Delaware Group 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. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis. Original issue discounts are accreted to interest income over the
lives of the respective securities. The High Yield Series, the Capital Reserves
Series and the Money Market Series declare dividends from net investment income
daily and pay such dividends monthly and declare dividends on net realized
gains, if any, annually. The Equity/Income Series and the Multiple Strategy
Series declare dividends from net investment income quarterly and net realized
gains, if any, annually. The Growth Series, the International Equity Series, the
Emerging Growth Series and the Value Series declare dividends from net
investment income and net realized gains, if any, annually. The Global Bond
Series declares dividends from net investment income monthly and net realized
gains, if any, annually.

Certain fund expenses are paid directly by brokers. The amount of these expenses
is less than 0.01% of each Series' average net assets.

less fees paid to the unaffiliated  directors for the Equity/Income  Series, the
High Yield Series,  the Capital Reserves Series,  the Multiple  Strategy Series,
the Money Market Series, the Growth Series and the International  Equity Series.

6. Concentration of Credit Risk

The High Yield Series may invest in  high-yield  fixed income  securities  which
carry ratings of BB or lower by S&P and/or Ba or lower by Moody's. Investment in
these higher  yielding  securities  may be  accompanied  by a greater  degree of
credit risk than higher rated securities.  Additionally,  lower rated securities
may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive  industry conditions
than investment grade securities.

The  Capital  Reserves  Series and the  Multiple  Strategy  Series may invest 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.

Each  Series may  invest up to 10% of its total  assets in  illiquid  securities
which 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 some of these  securities may adversely affect the Fund's ability
to dispose of such  securities in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is
necessary to liquidate  such  securities.  These  securities,  if any, have been
denoted in the appropriate Statement of Net Assets.
