[Title]Letter from the President
[Picture of John Taft upper right hand corner]
John Taft
President
Dear Shareholder:
Since our last report, the headline story in the municipal bond market has been
the demise of a radical tax reform proposal. One of the best ways to illustrate
this demise is to look at how municipal bonds have traded in relation to
Treasury securities. At the height of the tax reform scare -- when Steve Forbes
was campaigning on his "Flat Tax" platform in January 1996 -- long municipal
securities were trading at a relatively cheap 90% of the 30-year Treasury. At
the time of this report, market fears have abated regarding a "Flat Tax" and
municipal bonds are trading at a more traditional 80.1%.
We believe the issue of reforming the tax code is far from thoroughly closed,
and it is likely that we may see renewed discussions about a less radical tax
reform. However, as is often the case in the financial markets, we believe these
times of short-term volatility and uncertainty represent good opportunities for
long-term investors.
We remain committed to providing our clients with the best investment products
and services available in today's financial markets. If at any time you have
questions about your Voyageur Fund investments, I'd like to encourage you to
contact your personal financial advisor or Voyageur Shareholder Services. Our
Voyageur Shareholder Services 800 number -- known as Voyageur On CallTM --
allows you 24-hour access, seven days a week, to an automated voice response
service with shareholder services representatives available from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Central Standard Time.
We appreciate your continued patronage of Voyageur Investments and look forward
to working with you and your financial advisors in creating products and
services designed to bring you closer to your investment goals.
Sincerely,
[Signature]

VOYAGEUR FLORIDA INSURED MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
Within the context of the Fund's investment objective of high current income
consistent with preservation of capital, we continue to manage the Voyageur
Florida Insured Municipal Income Fund with the dual focus of generating higher
tax-exempt income levels and protecting future income streams.
By elevating portfolio income, we are able to accomplish two important things.
First, we were able to provide our shareholders with competitive distribution
rates. Second, higher income levels create a valuable cushion against market
declines -- such as those we witnessed during the first half of 1996.
Income protection is the second part of our management strategy. Recently, much
has been said concerning the significant number of bond calls occurring in
closed-end funds. Unlike many closed-end funds, we actively manage the call
protection in Voyageur Florida Insured Municipal Income Fund's portfolio in an
attempt to maintain the Fund's income stream for the longest period possible.
Florida continues to have a relatively vibrant economy, and several tax-exempt
sectors within the state have proven to add value to the Fund's performance
during the past six months. First is school district debt. School districts --
unable to keep up with the demand for more classroom space -- are flooding the
municipal market with bond issues. This overwhelming supply makes these bonds
relatively cheap and attractive purchases. Once school debt issuance subsides --
and we believe it will --prices should appreciate, benefitting the Fund.
Another sector which we believe represents long-term value is health care.
Attracted to the elderly population, many large health care organizations are
buying independently operated hospitals. As these individual hospitals become
part of a network, their general financial picture typically improves and,
consequently, the price of their bonds tends to rise. Thus, we are attempting to
take advantage of this trend by increasing our weighting of health care issues
in the portfolio. The three Voyageur Minnesota Municipal Income Funds are all
managed very similarly -- with an emphasis on generating income and maintaining
high credit quality.
[Following caveats, lower left hand corner]
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Insurance pertains only to the timely payment of principal and interest by the
securities in the fund's portfolio. The value of the insured securities and the
Fund itself will fluctuate due to changing market conditions. No representation
is made as to any insurer's ability to meet its commitment.

VOYAGEUR MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUNDS -- I, II, III
Within the context of the Funds' investment objective of high current income
consistent with preservation of capital, the three Voyageur Minnesota Municipal
Income Funds are all managed very similarly -- with an emphasis on generating
income and maintaining high credit quality.
We continue to position these Funds to benefit from our outlook for gradually
declining interest rates in 1997. To protect our shareholders' tax-exempt
income, the Funds hold bonds with relatively strong call protection, long
average maturities and high credit quality.
The Minnesota economy continues to be strong. The economy is well diversified in
comparison to other states and has historically been less cyclical than the
coasts. As a result, the credit quality of all of our Minnesota bonds remains
excellent, and these Funds' holdings are diversified in a wide variety of
municipal sectors within the state of Minnesota.

VOYAGEUR ARIZONA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
Within the context of the Fund's investment objective of high current income
consistent with preservation of capital, our major management thrust for the
Voyageur Arizona Municipal Income Fund has been to increase shareholders'
tax-exempt income and extend call protection.
To generate more dividend income, we traded some AAA-rated bonds for A-rated
holdings. Because Arizona currently enjoys a brisk economy, we believe we are
able to slightly lower the Fund's credit quality without significantly
increasing credit risk. Arizona has one of the stronger economies in the United
States, spurred by the influx of people and businesses moving into the state,
especially from California.
To protect the income stream for as long as possible, we are extending call
protection by selling bonds that can be called in the nearer term and replacing
them with bonds that have longer call features.
We believe these changes will protect your income stream further into the
future. This is especially important if, as we anticipate, interest rates
decline and the U.S. economy slows in the first half of 1997.

VOYAGEUR COLORADO INSURED MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
Andrew M. McCullagh, Jr. is the Senior Municipal Bond Portfolio Manager for the
Voyageur Arizona Municipal Income and Voyageur Colorado Insured Municipal Income
Funds. Mr. McCullagh has more than 25 years of investment industry experience.
Within the context of the Fund's investment objective of high current income
consistent with preservation of capital and our anticipation for declining
interest rates in 1997, our major focus for the Voyageur Colorado Insured
Municipal Income Fund has been to increase our shareholders' tax-exempt income
and extend call protection.
Since this is an insured fund, we cannot add income by lowering the credit
quality of the portfolio. Rather, we have been generating more income by trading
bonds with lower yields for bonds with higher yields. To accomplish this, we
have been focusing on sectors of the Colorado municipal market that tend to pay
higher yields -- such as the hospital and transportation sectors -- than offered
by most general obligation bonds. Since higher yielding bonds are more
attractive to investors, they tend to appreciate in price over time, thereby
increasing the value of the portfolio. In some instances, such trades will
generate a tax loss that we can use to offset tax gains, if any, in the
portfolio.
This strategy is especially appropriate in Colorado, which currently enjoys one
of the stronger economies in the United States. Colorado continues to experience
brisk growth, benefiting from the inflow of individuals and businesses moving
into the Rocky Mountain Region, especially from the West Coast.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Insurance pertains only to the timely payment of principal and interest by the
securities in the fund's portfolio. The value of the insured securities and the
Fund itself will fluctuate due to changing market conditions. No representation
is made as to any insurer's ability to meet its commitment.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
Dated September 30, 1996
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 (at least 80%) 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, 1996, the Adviser acted as the investment adviser
to six closed-end investment companies and ten open-end investment companies
(comprising thirty-three separate investment portfolios) and numerous private
accounts with combined total assets of approximately $12.2 billion.
SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
Weekly net asset value and market price information for the Funds are
published each Monday in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, each Sunday in 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. A participant may
withdraw from a plan at any time by advising the Plan Agent in writing (see
address on back page under "Shareholder Servicing Agent"). Shares held in
nominee name at brokerage firm may not be eligible for automatic dividend
reinvestment. You should contact your financial adviser to determine such firm's
policies. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions does not relieve you of any income tax which may be otherwise
payable on dividends or distributions.
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.

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 ("1940 Act") (as amended) 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:
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect 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 net increases (decreases) in net assets
from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
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 limited geographical areas.
Therefore, there may be more credit risk related to the economic conditions of a
these areas than a portfolio with broader geographical diversification.
SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS
Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased by the Funds
on a forward commitment or when-issued basis can take place up to a month or
more after the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject
to market fluctuations and the portfolio maintains, in a segregated account with
its custodian, assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of
its purchase commitments.
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 $696,527 and $851,427, $18,885,342 and
$19,042,863, $10,880,557 and $11,070,027, $13,154,912 and $13,361,511,
$28,890,878 and $28,890,064, and $40,476,828 and $40,913,353, respectively, for
the six months ended September 30, 1996.
(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.
(Princeton 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, 1996. 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.
During the six months ended September 30, 1996, Minnesota Municipal earned
$221, Minnesota Municipal II earned $9,478, Minnesota Municipal III earned
$1,176, Arizona Municipal earned $2,802, Florida Municipal earned $638 and
Colorado Municipal earned $9,010 in credits on uninvested cash balances held by
each Fund at the custodian. These credits were used to reduce various custodial
services provided by the custodial bank.
(5) CAPITAL SHARE 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, 1996 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.
For the six months ended September 30, 1996 and for the year ended March
31, 1996, there were no transactions in common shares for the Funds.
The Funds each have one 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 3.46% to 3.80% on Minnesota Municipal,
from 3.45% to 3.70% on Minnesota Municipal II, from 3.46% to 3.80% on Minnesota
Municipal III, from 3.30% to 3.80% on Arizona Municipal, from 3.43% to 3.80% on
Florida Insured Municipal and from 3.45% to 3.75% on Colorado Insured Municipal
during the six months ended September 30, 1996. 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
Fund 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 $28,421,
$2,489,756, $2,403,842, $726,317, $523,050 and $213,528, respectively, at March
31, 1996, that will expire in years 2002 through 2005 if not offset by
subsequent realized 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.
(f) Beginning in the period ended March 31, 1996, the expense ratio reflects
the effect of gross expenses attributable to earnings credits on uninvested
cash balances received by the Funds. Prior period expense ratios have not
been adjusted.
