Dear Shareholder,
During the Global and International Funds' fiscal first half, which ended
May 31, 1995, global investments were affected primarily by declines in both
U.S. bond yields and the U.S. dollar, as well as the pause in worldwide
economic growth. In general, global bond markets performed in line with the
U.S. bond market as it recovered from 1994's sharp rise in interest rates.
International equity markets, on the other hand, were somewhat "bumpy" in the
wake of sharp declines in emerging markets such as Mexico and those of Latin
America. Few of the established international markets kept pace with soaring
U.S. stock prices.
Although many Americans hesitate to invest abroad, Delaware Group
believes that the trend toward a global approach to individual investing will
continue. Historical studies of investment returns show that there has been
little direct connection between the performance of U.S. markets and those
overseas. An investment program that combines both domestic and foreign
securities may experience less volatility than either type of investment alone.
For U.S. investors, this is the key benefit of diversifying their portfolio
into foreign investments.
To give people more choices to meet their global investing needs, on
December 27, 1994, we introduced two new portfolios to the Global and
International Funds. The GLOBAL ASSETS FUND invests in four primary asset
classes -- international stocks, investment-grade global bonds, U.S. dividend
growth stocks and U.S. high-yield corporate bonds. The GLOBAL BOND FUND
invests in high quality government and corporate bonds, both foreign and U.S.
These two funds join the INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND which will mark its fourth
anniversary on October 31st. International Equity Fund focuses on
dividend-paying stocks in established foreign markets.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REVIEWS
MANAGING THE EFFECTS OF VOLATILITY IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
At the beginning of our fiscal period, many emerging world markets,
particularly those in Mexico and Latin America, experienced sharp declines as
the Mexican government devalued the peso. Though volatility is not unusual in
the emerging markets, many investors were surprised by the swift and sharp
corrections. We had no holdings in emerging markets at that time, but
subsequently added small equity holdings in Indonesia and the Philippines as
declines made those markets very attractive. All three of our Funds are designed
to be part of an investor's core international holdings and for that reason, our
primary investment focus is on the less volatile, more established markets.
JAPAN'S STOCK MARKET REMAINS OVERVALUED
As part of our core approach and commitment to managing risk,
Delaware's security selection method in these funds strives to identify
undervalued securities by evaluating their future income potential after
inflation. Based on this method, we believe the Japanese market remains
overvalued, with future growth prospects not compensating for the very low
yield. Consequently, our portfolios are underweighted in Japan relative to
the major foreign market indexes. However, in our opinion, the Japanese market
is an inefficient one, which means that individual companies within the market
can offer good value even when the market as a whole does not. Consistent with
our view that the yen is currently overvalued against the dollar, we are
finding good value in export-related Japanese companies which would benefit
if the yen declines and in smaller and mid-sized companies which, we believe,
are more likely to be "mispriced" in an inefficient market. We continue
to avoid Japanese bonds.

This table is not intended to represent the performance of any Delaware Group

WEAK DOLLAR CREATES POSITIVE CURRENCY EFFECT
Currency fluctuations were clearly a positive factor in international
returns for U.S. investors. When calculating returns, the investors' gains or
losses are translated back into U.S. dollars and, in most cases, declines in
the U.S. dollar relative to other major currencies added to returns this fiscal
period. However, Delaware's approach to currency management is a defensive one
since we rely on security selection to provide investment gains, not currency.
We strive to neutralize the impact of currency fluctuations through the use of
financial contracts and by limiting the Funds' holdings in countries where we
believe the currency is significantly overvalued. Because of this defensive
strategy, currency fluctuations did not have as much of a positive effect on
our Funds' returns this year as it may have had on funds that take a more
aggressive approach to currency management.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK IN EUROPE BRIGHTENS
Going forward, we believe there is strong growth potential in Europe.
In our view, the European economic recovery is approximately 1 1/2 to 2 years
behind the U.S. recovery. Though the weakness of the U.S. dollar has inflated
European returns for U.S. investors, in local terms -- i.e. before adjusting
for currency exchange -- European stock returns have been far behind the
performance of the U.S. equity market. If the European economies continue to
grow, we could see positive earnings surprises, just as we've already seen
from U.S. companies. Though there is no guarantee that this will be the case,
earnings growth could act as a catalyst for the European stock markets in the
year to come. And, excess production capacity in Europe may indicate that
inflation is unlikely to cause near-term difficulties, a positive for both
stocks and bonds.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
The bulk of the International Equity Fund portfolio (57% of net
assets) is invested in the major European markets, with a large percentage
allocated to the United Kingdom and smaller, but still significant percentages
in Germany, Belgium and France. This positioning, the result of our disciplined
selection methodology, could benefit the Fund in the coming year, if the
European growth scenario described above materializes.

Returns include reinvestment of distribution, but not the impact of any sales

International Equity Fund can be found on page 7.
We have established very small positions (about 1% of net assets) in
the emerging Philippine and Indonesian markets as, in our judgement, they
offer exceptional value following declines at the beginning of the year. We
anticipate that these positions will remain small as our focus is clearly on
established markets. To allocate assets to these countries, we reduced our
weighting in Canadian equities. We believe recent strong performance has
increased Canadian stock valuations relative to other countries, making
potential returns less attractive.
Although the strong performance of the world bond markets has
generally supported the world equity markets, in most cases, the
higher-yielding international stocks that comprise the International Equity
portfolio are still playing catch-up after the difficult high interest rate
environment of 1994. We are optimistic that these stocks will step up in
performance if U.S. interest rates remain stable and worldwide economic
growth continues.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOING FORWARD, WE BELIEVE THERE IS STRONG GROWTH POTENTIAL IN EUROPE...
IF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIES CONTINUE TO GROW, WE COULD SEE POSITIVE EARNINGS
SURPRISES, JUST AS WE'VE ALREADY SEEN FROM U.S. COMPANIES.

GLOBAL BOND FUND
This year has been somewhat surprising for investors in foreign bonds
because the best performing markets were those that looked the riskiest at the
turn of the year. Returns from most world bond markets, which hovered around
10% in local terms during the first half, were significantly affected by
currency changes. The dollar weakened against the Japanese yen and the German
mark, while the Italian lira and the Australian dollar both fell relative to
the dollar.
This currency turmoil appeared to be driven by emotion rather than
fundamental value determinations. As we noted earlier, our approach to
currency management is based on careful analysis of relative valuation levels.
In the Global Bond Fund, we strive to limit holdings in those countries whose
currency appears significantly overvalued and therefore, higher risk. As a
result, we had no exposure to bonds denominated in yen or in marks, markets
that performed very well in this period. Our conservative approach was the
primary reason why we underperformed the Salomon Brothers World Government
Bond Index cited in the chart. The Index is heavily weighted toward the
Japanese bond market. Our strategy currently favors dollar-based currencies
because they appear significantly UNDERVALUED. We believe that going forward
higher-yielding markets like Italy, Canada and Sweden, countries which have
made strides with their fiscal problems and now appear undervalued, will offer
greater opportunities than the markets that have led so far this year.
As with our international stock selection methodology, Delaware
relies on income potential as a key measure of value when selecting global
bonds. During this period, our income focus provided total dividends of $0.24
per A class share. With the Global Bond Fund, we place great importance on
quality and select only those bonds rated "A" or better. Generally, the bonds
will have an average maturity in the five to 10-year range. At the end of the
fiscal half, average maturity was a little longer than usual due to the high
prospective "real" yields (yields after inflation) in our favored markets and
because we expect a declining interest rate environment.

GLOBAL ASSETS FUND
In building the Global Assets Fund strategy, Delaware sought to take
advantage of the opportunities to increase return potential and reduce risk
that can result from combinations of asset classes with low "correlation" --
that is, asset classes that tend to move counter to one another over different
performance cycles. In this case, we have combined:
- INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES which are managed in the same style as
the International Equity Fund
33% of net assets*
- U.S. EQUITIES that are specifically selected for their dividend
growth potential
22% of net assets

<PAGE>

COLONIAL OBJECTS
- GLOBAL BONDS, including U.S. Government bonds and high quality
foreign government and corporate bonds, which are managed in the
same style as the Global Bond Fund
22% of net assets
- HIGH-YIELD U.S. CORPORATE BONDS, higher risk bonds that are
attractive for their high income and their low correlation with
the other asset classes in this Fund
13% of net assets
*Based on net assets as of May 31, 1995. The remainder of portfolio
assets is invested in short-term repurchase agreements.
We believe that with these four asset classes, the Global Assets Fund
has sufficient flexibility to pursue the most attractive securities in the
most attractive markets. And, because we use an income-oriented approach to
evaluate stocks and bonds across all markets, we are able to compare stocks
to bonds within a country and across countries with a consistent yardstick.
By studying the future inflation-adjusted income potential of the four asset
classes, we determine which class appears to offer the most attractive
reward/risk profile. Our emphasis might shift from one asset class to another
based upon this analysis; however, our objective is to keep the Fund broadly
diversified across all four asset classes.
During this fiscal half, U.S. equities outperformed the other three
asset classes. Within the U.S. equity portfolio, our focus is on medium-sized
companies with strong dividend growth potential. Though our holdings of U.S.
stocks were a key factor in our strong performance, we now believe that
international stocks and bonds offer greater future return potential.
Consequently, as of May 31, 1995, we have begun reducing our U.S. stock
holdings and increasing our holdings of international stocks and global bonds.

We have taken small positions in the Asian equity markets of Hong Kong
and Malaysia where we believe there is potential for strong performance if U.S.
interest rates remain stable. Our current view that the European markets are
behind the U.S. in terms of economic recovery has carried through to our
positioning of the Global Assets Fund, which has approximately 20% of assets
invested in Europe.
In selecting U.S. high-yield bonds for the Global Assets portfolio,
our strategy has been to focus on the higher quality tiers (bonds rated "BB"
and "B") of the high-yield market. We believe that including high-yielding,
higher risk corporate bonds will, over time, contribute to the Fund's income
potential and help to stabilize return. However, over the past six months,
with lower interest rates and only a slight slowing in the economy, "CCC"
rated bonds which involve substantially more credit risk, have been the best
performing segment of the high-yield market. Consequently, U.S. high-yield
bonds did not have as much of a positive impact on the portfolio as they might
have had. Nonetheless, we believe the economy may continue to slow and that a
portfolio of higher quality securities will better withstand the financial
pressures of an economic slowdown.
Investment grade global bonds, which comprise approximately 22% of
the Global Assets portfolio, are selected for their ability to generate a high
level of income which can help to cushion the portfolio through unfavorable
market conditions. In addition, yields on foreign fixed income securities can
often be more attractive than yields on similar quality U.S. securities. As
with equities, our focus in global bonds is primarily on established markets.
This section of the portfolio contributed positively to the Fund's performance,
however, due to our more risk-averse strategy we did not have any holdings in
some of the top performing markets such as Japan and Germany.
To date, we have been very pleased with the performance of the Global
Assets Fund which has comfortably surpassed the average of other global
flexible funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Though its lifetime
period of just under six months is too short to be taken as an indication of
potential future results, we believe the combination of these four asset
classes will make the Fund a very attractive choice for investors who wish to
expand their portfolio abroad in pursuit of both income and growth
opportunities.

DELAWARE GROUP GLOBAL & INTERNATIONAL FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 1995
(Unaudited)
Delaware Group Global & International Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered
as a diversified open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation and offers three
series (the "Series"). Each Series offers three classes of shares.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies are in accordance with general 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 pm on the valuation date. Securities not traded
are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities not listed on an exchange
are valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and asked prices. 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. Security transactions are
recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).
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 Family of Funds. The aggregated
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 Series' custodian bank until the maturity of the respective
repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is 102% 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 each Series on the basis of daily net
assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are
charged directly to that class.
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 an interim date for which quotations are not available.
<PAGE>
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.
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-divided date and interest income is recorded on an accrual
basis. Original discounts are accreted to interest income over the lives of
the respective securities.
2. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS
In accordance with the terms of the Investment Management Agreement,
the Fund pays Delaware International Advisers Ltd. (DIAL), the investment
manager of each Series, an annual fee which is calculated daily at the rate
of 0.75% of the net assets of the Series less fees paid to the independent
directors. DIAL has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Delaware
Management Company, Inc. (DMC) with respect to the management of the Global
Assets Series' investments in U.S. securities. DMC will receive from DIAL 25%
of the investment management fees and other expenses for the Global Assets
Series. At May 31, 1995, the International Equity Series had a liability for
Investment Management fees and other expenses payable to DIAL for $14,859.
DIAL has elected voluntarily to waive that portion, if any, of the annual
management fees payable by the Global Assets Series and the Global Bond
Series to the extent necessary to ensure that the annual operating expenses
exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses do not exceed 1.25%, 1.95% and 0.95% for the A Class, B Class
and Institutional Class, respectively. Total expenses absorbed by DIAL were
$66,046 for the Global Asset Series and $62,056 for the Global Bond Series.
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Distributors
L.P. (DDLP), the Distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual fee of 0.30%
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. At May 31, 1995, the International Equity Series, the
Global Assets Series and the Global Bond Series had liabilities for
distribution fees and other expenses payable to DDLP for $5,021, $47,133 and
$51,666, respectively. For the six months ended May 31, 1995, the Fund paid
DDLP $20,421, $339 and $204 for commissions earned on sales of A Class shares
for the International Equity Series, the Global Assets Series and the Global
Bond Series, respectively.
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 May 31, 1995, the amount expensed for these services were
$201,465, $1,161, and $585 for the International Equity Series, the Global
Assets Series and the Global Bond Series, respectively. At May 31, 1995, the
International Equity Series, the Global Assets Series and the Global Bond
Series, had liabilities for such fees and other expenses to DSC for $6,429,
$13,638 and $12,805, respectively.

<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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 each Series.
On April 3, 1995, Delaware Management Holdings, Inc., the indirect parent of
DIAL, 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 DIAL or DMC have heretofore conducted their relationship with
each Series. The same personnel who manage the operations and affairs of each
Series before the Merger have continued to manage their operations and
affairs since the Merger.
An annual meeting of shareholders was held on March 29, 1995. The matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders were the election of directors, the
approval of a new investment management agreement and a new sub-advisory
agreement, and the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as
independent auditors of the Fund. The new investment management agreement and
sub-advisory agreement were submitted for shareholder approval in connection
with the merger noted above because the Investment Company Act of 1940
requires shareholders to vote on new investment management and sub-advisory
agreements whenever there is a change in control of an investment manager.
The names of each director elected at the meeting along with the final vote
tabulation with respect to each nominee and each matter were as follows:
