THE VOYAGEUR FUNDS
GENERAL INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FUNDS
Voyageur Minnesota Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Voyageur Minnesota
Municipal Income Fund II, Inc., Voyageur Minnesota Municipal Income Fund III,
Inc., Voyageur Arizona Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Voyageur Florida Insured
Municipal Income Fund and Voyageur Colorado Insured Municipal Income Fund, Inc.
(the "Funds") are diversified, closed-end management investment companies
(except Voyageur Minnesota Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Voyageur Minnesota
Municipal Income Fund III, Inc., and Voyageur Colorado Insured Municipal Income
Fund, Inc. which are non-diversified management investment companies) whose
shares trade on the American Stock Exchange ("ASE") under the symbols VMN, VMM,
VYM, VAZ, VFL and VCF, respectively. The investment objective of each Fund is to
provide high current income exempt from federal income tax and from the personal
income tax of its state, if any, consistent with the preservation of capital.
Voyageur Florida Insured Municipal Income Fund will generally seek investments
that will enable its shares to be exempt from Florida's intangible personal
property tax. Each Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by
investing substantially all of its net assets in investment grade, tax-exempt
municipal obligations.
INVESTMENT ADVISER
Voyageur Fund Managers, Inc. (the "Adviser") acts as the Funds' investment
adviser. As of September 30, 1995, the Adviser acted as the investment adviser
to six closed-end investment companies and ten open-end investment companies
(comprising twenty-nine separate investment portfolios) and numerous private
accounts with combined total assets of approximately $7.9 billion.
SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
Weekly net asset value and market price information for the Funds are
published each Monday in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL and THE NEW YORK TIMES and each
Saturday in BARRON'S, as well as numerous other newspapers.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Under the Funds' current policies, shareholders may elect to receive all
dividends and other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the
shareholders by the dividend paying agent, Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., (the
"Plan Agent"). Under each Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, (collectively the
"Plans"), common shareholders not making such election will be automatically
enrolled in the Funds' Plans. Under the Plans, all distributions to common
shareholders of net investment income and capital gains will be automatically
reinvested in additional shares of the Funds' common shares. The Plan Agent
serves as agent for the common shareholders in administering the Plans. After
each Fund declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gains
distribution, the Plan Agent will, as agent for the participants, receive the
cash payment and use it to buy shares of each Fund's common shares in the open
market, on the ASE or elsewhere, for the participants' accounts. The Funds will
not issue any new shares in connection with the Plans.
STATE OR MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
Pursuant to Board of Directors or Trustees resolutions, the Funds may
invest without limit in state or municipal leases and participation interests
therein. Municipal leases are obligations issued by state and local governments
or authorities to finance the acquisition of equipment and facilities such as
fire, sanitation or police vehicles or telecommunications equipment, buildings
or other capital assets.
Municipal lease obligations, except in certain circumstances, are
considered illiquid by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Municipal lease obligations held by the Funds will be treated as illiquid unless
they are determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines established by the
Funds' Board of Directors or Trustees. Under these guidelines, the Adviser will
consider factors including, but not limited to (1) whether the lease can be
cancelled, (2) what assurance there is that the assets represented by the lease
can be sold, (3) the municipality's general credit strength (e.g., its debt,
administrative, economic and financial characteristics), (4) the likelihood that
the municipality will discontinue appropriating funding for the leased property
because the property is no longer deemed essential to the operations of the
municipality (e.g., the potential for an "event of nonappropriation"), and (5)
the legal recourse in the event of failure to appropriate. Additionally, the
lack of an established trading market for municipal lease obligations may make
the determination of fair market value more difficult. Although each Fund may
invest up to 15% of its total assets in illiquid securities, the Funds have no
intention of investing more than 5% of its total assets in such securities,
including illiquid municipal lease obligations.
Dear Shareholder:
All economic signs point to the fact that the Federal Reserve, through monetary
policy, has affected the "soft landing" for the economy. Economic indicators
continue to confirm our belief that inflation is currently under control and
should remain so into 1996. In July, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC),
the rate-setting group of the Federal Reserve Board, lowered the Federal Funds
rate by .25%. Even though the rate cut was not significant, it was the Fed's
first rate cut in three years. Because these funds are leveraged, the effects of
interest rate changes are magnified in the funds' net asset value per common
share. The dividend for each of the Voyageur Municipal Income Funds remained
stable for this reporting period.
The market price of the fund's common shares continued to trade at a discount to
net asset value. The chart below shows the net asset value, market price and
comparative discount of market price to net asset value for common shares as of
9/30/95.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUND PERFORMANCE
Bonds have staged a remarkable rally so far this year. The gains generated in
1995 have more than compensated for the losses experienced by investors in last
year's bear market. The yield on the bellwether 30-year Treasury bond has
declined from 7.86% since January 1 to 6.50% as of September 30, 1995. Municipal
bond investors, too, have enjoyed double-digit total returns so far this year,
but returns have generally lagged the taxable Treasury bond market. The key
reason for this is investor concern over radical tax reform proposals under
discussion in Washington. We believe these concerns are overstated and, in fact,
municipals offer tremendous value compared to other fixed income investments.
The economy has provided an ideal backdrop for declining bond yields this year.
Growth has slowed from the 1994 pace and inflation has remained under control.
We anticipate consumer inflation will be at 3% for the year. Investors are
increasingly comfortable that the U.S. economy can grow at a non-inflationary
pace in the coming quarters. The Fed appears to have successfully engineered a
"soft landing." We are constructive on the bond market both near term and longer
term and believe low inflation (2-3%) will pave the way for interest rates to
trend lower through the balance of the decade.
Some specific information about each of the Voyageur Municipal Income Funds is
discussed below. Financial information about each Fund is presented later in
this report.
THE FUNDS
THE VOYAGEUR MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC. The Fund's total return
(based on net asset value) at the end of the reporting period was 5.09%, while
the year-to-date total return was 17.08%.* This closed end fund has performed
well so far this year based on the continuing bond market rally that began in
November 1994. Credit quality on the Fund has remained high, reflecting
Voyageur's commitment to investment grade bonds. The average credit quality
rating on the Fund is A1/A+.
THE VOYAGEUR MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND II, INC. The Fund's total return
(based on net asset value) at the end of the reporting period was 5.99%, while
the year-to-date total return was 21.52%.* This closed end fund has performed
very well so far this year based on the continuing bond market rally that began
in November 1994. Credit quality on the Fund has remained high, reflecting
Voyageur's commitment to investment grade bonds. The average credit quality
rating on the Fund is Aa/AA.
THE VOYAGEUR MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND III, INC. The Fund's total return
(based on net asset value) at the end of the reporting period was 5.96 %, while
the year-to-date total return was 20.76%.* This closed end fund has performed
very well so far this year based on the continuing bond market rally that began
in November 1994. Credit quality on the Fund has remained high, reflecting
Voyageur's commitment to investment grade bonds. The average credit quality
rating on the Fund is Aa/AA. The duration on each of these Minnesota portfolios
is long, reflecting the long-term nature of the bonds in the Funds. Throughout
the year, we have emphasized bonds that have a strong call protection and will
continue to stress this in upcoming months. Superior call protection fosters
above average total returns in a bull market and allows each Fund to retain a
steady flow of coupon income. Dividends on the three Minnesota funds have
remained steady throughout the period.
THE VOYAGEUR ARIZONA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC. The Fund's total return (based
on net asset value) at the end of the reporting period was 6.07 %, while the
year-to-date total return was 22.39%.* The Fund's duration was 9.7 years, the
stated years to maturity was 19.5 years, and the years to effective maturity was
15.9 years at the end of period. It has taken approximately nine months to get
these numbers where they now stand, and we shall continue to aggressively
improve call protection. Credit quality on the Fund has remained high,
reflecting Voyageur's commitment to quality bonds. The average credit quality
rating on the Fund is Aaa/AAA.
Going forward, we will continue to improve call protection and yield. We will
sell out of lower trade yield bonds and buys bonds at a higher trade yield. New
municipal issues are expected to be off approximately 10 to 15% compared to last
year's levels, and we also anticipate increased scarcity on Arizona primary
issues in the competitive and negotiated markets.
THE VOYAGEUR FLORIDA INSURED MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND The Fund's total return
(based on net asset value) at the end of the reporting period was 6.53%, while
the year-to-date total return was 22.45%.* The municipal yield curve has
flattened beyond the 20 year point. This allows shortening of the portfolio
without giving up income. In light of the current absolute level of interest
rates, shortening the portfolio will protect the portfolio in the event that
interest rates should unexpectedly rise. Voyageur continues to emphasize call
features. This fosters competitive investment performance in a bullish market
and allows the Fund to retain the portfolio's current level of income. Ongoing,
we will continue to emphasize income over performance characteristics while
continuing to improve and lengthen the portfolio's call features.
THE VOYAGEUR COLORADO INSURED MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC. The Fund's total
return (based on net asset value) at the end of the reporting period was 5.57%,
while the year-to-date total return was 18.25%.* The Fund's duration was 8.4
years, the stated years to maturity was 19.4 years, and the years to effective
maturity was 13.17 years at the end of the period. We shall continue to
aggressively improve call protection and emphasize call features. The dividend
on the Fund remained stable this period.
Ongoing, we will continue to restructure the portfolio by improving call
protection and yield. We will sell out of lower trade yield bonds in order to
buy bonds at a higher trade yield. New municipal issues are expected to be off
approximately 10 to 15% compared to last year's levels, and we also anticipate
increased scarcity in Colorado primary issues in the competitive and negotiated
markets.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate. Shares sold on the open
market may be worth more or less than original cost.

THE VOYAGEUR FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) ORGANIZATION
Voyageur Minnesota Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("Minnesota Municipal");
Voyageur Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II, Inc. ("Minnesota Municipal II");
Voyageur Minnesota Municipal Income Fund III, Inc. ("Minnesota Municipal III");
Voyageur Arizona Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("Arizona Municipal"); Voyageur
Florida Insured Municipal Income Fund ("Florida Insured Municipal"); and
Voyageur Colorado Insured Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("Colorado Insured
Municipal") (collectively the "Funds") are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (as amended) ("1940 Act") as closed-end, diversified
management investment companies (except Minnesota Municipal, Minnesota Municipal
III and Colorado Insured Municipal, which are non-diversified management
investment companies). Shares of the Funds are listed on the American Stock
Exchange.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are as follows:
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
The values of fixed-income securities are determined using pricing services
or prices quoted by independent brokers. When market quotations are not readily
available, securities are valued at fair value according to methods selected in
good faith by the Board of Directors or Trustees. Short-term securities with
maturities less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60
days of maturity, are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are
purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified
cost basis. Interest income, including level-yield amortization of premium and
original issue discount, is accrued daily.
The Funds concentrate their investments in their respective states.
Therefore, there may be more credit risk related to the economic conditions of a
particular state than a portfolio with broader geographical diversification.
FEDERAL TAXES
The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of their taxable net investment income and net realized
capital gains, if any, to shareholders in amounts that will avoid or minimize
federal income or excise taxes. Net investment income and net realized gains
(losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because
of losses deferred for tax purposes due to "wash sale" transactions. The
character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or
net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal
income tax purposes. Furthermore, due to the timing of dividend distributions,
the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that
the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Funds intend to pay monthly dividends from net investment income. Net
realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed on an annual basis. These
distributions are recorded as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date.
Such distributions are payable in cash or, pursuant to the Funds' Dividend
Reinvestment Plans, reinvested in additional common shares of the Funds. Under
the Plans, shares of the Funds will be purchased in the open market.
(3) INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
Purchases of securities and proceeds from sales, other than investments in
short-term securities, for Minnesota Municipal, Minnesota Municipal II,
Minnesota Municipal III, Arizona Municipal, Florida Insured Municipal and
Colorado Insured Municipal were $3,118,862 and $3,419,930, $6,103,057 and
$6,224,818, $6,911,711 and $7,017,313, $7,429,886 and $6,980,022, $2,396,173 and
$2,436,072, and $23,344,174 and $22,506,043, respectively, for the six months
ended September 30, 1995.
(4) FEES AND EXPENSES
The Funds have entered into the following agreements with Voyager Fund
Managers, Inc. (the "Adviser") and with Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc.
(Middlesex Administrators L.P. on Colorado Insured Municipal only) (the
"Administrators").
The investment advisory agreements provide the Adviser with a monthly
investment management fee computed at an annual rate of .40% of each Fund's
average daily net assets, including assets attributable to any preferred stock
that may be outstanding. For its fee, the Adviser provides investment advice
and, in general, conducts the management and investments of the Funds.
The administration agreements provide the Administrators with a monthly fee
computed at an annual rate of .15% of each Fund's average daily net assets,
including assets attributable to any preferred stock that may be outstanding.
Certain Funds have minimum annual fees payable to the Administrators. Minnesota
Municipal paid the minimum fee for the six months ended September 30, 1995. For
their fees, the Administrators provide certain administrative, clerical and
recordkeeping services to the Funds.
In addition to advisory and administrative fees, the Funds are responsible
for paying most of the other operating expenses, including outside directors' or
trustees' fees and expenses, custodian fees, registration fees, printing of
shareholder reports, transfer agent fees and expenses, legal, auditing and
accounting services, insurance, interest and other miscellaneous expenses.
(5) CAPITAL SHARES TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to their articles of incorporation, Minnesota Municipal, Minnesota
Municipal II, Minnesota Municipal III, Arizona Municipal and Colorado Insured
Municipal each have 200 million shares of $0.01 par value common shares
authorized. Florida Insured Municipal has been authorized to issue an unlimited
amount of $0.01 par value common shares. The common shares outstanding at
September 30, 1995 were 2,594,700 for Minnesota Municipal, 7,252,200 for
Minnesota Municipal II, 1,837,200 for Minnesota Municipal III, 2,982,200 for
Arizona Municipal, 2,422,200 for Florida Insured Municipal and 4,837,100 for
Colorado Insured Municipal. The Adviser owns 7,200 shares Minnesota Municipal
III.
For the six months ended September 30, 1995 and for the year ended March
31, 1995, there were no transactions in common shares for the Funds.
The Funds each have 1 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred shares
authorized, except for Florida Insured Municipal which has an unlimited amount
of $0.01 par value preferred shares authorized. Under resolutions adopted by the
Board of Directors or Trustees, Minnesota Municipal is allowed to issue up to
400 preferred shares, of which the entire amount was issued on August 6, 1992.
On May 14, 1993, Minnesota Municipal II, Arizona Municipal and Florida Insured
Municipal issued 1,200, 500 and 400 preferred shares, respectively. On December
10, 1993, Minnesota Municipal III issued 300 preferred shares and on September
23, 1993, Colorado Insured Municipal issued 800 preferred shares. The preferred
shares have a liquidation preference of $50,000 per share plus an amount equal
to accumulated but unpaid dividends.
Dividends for the outstanding preferred shares of each Fund are cumulative
at a rate established at the initial public offering and are typically reset
every 28 days based on the results of an auction. Dividend rates (adjusted for
capital gains distributions) ranged from 3.75% to 4.35% on Minnesota Municipal,
from 3.75% to 4.25% on Minnesota Municipal II, from 3.80% to 4.25% on Minnesota
Municipal III, from 3.65% to 4.25% on Arizona Municipal, from 3.74% to 4.25% on
Florida Insured Municipal and from 2.40% to 4.95% on Colorado Insured Municipal
during the six months ended September 30, 1995. Smith Barney Inc.and Merrill
Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. (on Colorado Insured Municipal only), as the
remarketing agents, receive an annual fee from each of the Funds of .25% of the
average amount of preferred stock outstanding.
Under the 1940 Act, the Funds may not declare dividends or make other
distributions on common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of
the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the
outstanding preferred stock is less than 200%.
Each of the Fund's preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the
Fund, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $50,000 per share
plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The preferred
shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $50,000 per share plus any
accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain
requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of each
of the Funds is not satisfied. The holders of preferred shares have voting
rights equal to the holders of common shares (one vote per share) and will vote
together with holders of common shares as a single class. However, holders of
preferred shares are also entitled to elect two of each Fund's directors or
trustees. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by
shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a
majority of any outstanding preferred shares, voting separately as a class would
be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect
the preferred shares, and (b) take any action requiring a vote of security
holders pursuant to Section 13(a) of the 1940 Act, including, among other
things, changes in each of the Fund's subclassification as a closed-end
investment company or changes in their fundamental investment restrictions.
(6) CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
For federal income tax purposes, Minnesota Municipal, Minnesota Municipal
II, Minnesota Municipal III, Arizona Municipal, Florida Insured Municipal and
Colorado Insured Municipal had capital loss carryforwards of $159,998,
$2,493,771, $1,966,961, $851,685, $477,567 and $305,716, respectively, at March
31, 1995, that will expire in 2002 through 2004 if not offset by subsequent
capital gains. It is unlikely the Board of Directors or Trustees will authorize
a distribution of any net realized capital gains until the available capital
loss carryforwards have been offset or expire.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
(a) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common shares
at the current market value on the first day and a sale at the current
market value on the last day of each period reported. Underwriting
discounts and commissions are not reflected in the total investment return
for the initial period of each Fund. If underwriting discounts and
commissions had been reflected, total investment returns for the initial
period would have been 11.89%, 0.83%, (5.07)%, 0.83%, 0.83% and (0.81)% for
Minnesota Municipal, Minnesota Municipal II, Minnesota Municipal III,
Arizona Municipal, Florida Insured Municipal and Colorado Insured
Municipal, respectively. Distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of
this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds'
dividend reinvestment plans. Total investment returns for periods of less
than one year are not annualized.
(b) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common shares
at the current net asset value on the first day and a sale at the current
net asset value on the last day of each period reported. Distributions, if
any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at net
asset value as of dividend payable date. Total investment returns for
periods of less than one year are not annualized. These percentages are not
an indication of the performance of a shareholder's investment in the Fund
based on market value due to differences between the market price of the
stock and the net asset value of the Fund.
(c) Ratios calculated on the basis of expenses and net investment income
applicable to both the common and preferred shares relative to the average
net assets of common and preferred shareholders. Ratios do not reflect the
effect of dividend payments to preferred shareholders.
(d) Annualized.
(e) Excluding any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
