Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.

Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).

The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of September 30, 2008
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The investment objective of each Eaton Vance Municipals Fund (the "Funds") is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes. The Funds primarily invest in investment-grade municipal obligations but may also invest in lower-rated obligations.
Economic and Market Conditions
Economic growth in the third quarter of 2008 retracted 0.3%, down from a positive second quarter growth rate of 2.8%, according to preliminary data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Most of the major Gross Domestic Product (GDP) components led to the decline; however, most influential was a sharp downturn in personal consumption expenditures by consumers. While high commodity prices began to mitigate over the quarter, management believes consumers continued to pare costs as they remained cautious of what increasingly has become a weaker economic environment. Rising unemployment levels, now at a five-year high, combined with the fading effect of government economic stimulus checks, have led to constrained personal consumption and overall economic contraction for the quarter. The housing market continues to weigh on the economy, with new home sales continuing to fall and existing home sales beginning to stabilize only as cautious buyers begin to see value in dis tressed pricing. Low home prices continue to pressure consumers and banks, causing increased bank foreclosures and more mark-to-market write downs of mortgage-backed securities at commercial banks and financial institutions.
During the year ended September 30, 2008, the capital markets have experienced historic events resulting in unprecedented volatility. During the second week of September 2008, the federal government took control of federally-chartered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The following week, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection and Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America. Later in the month, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley petitioned the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to become bank holding companies. These actions, in conjunction with
Bear Stearns’ acquisition by JP Morgan in March 2008, drastically redefined the Wall Street landscape. In addition to the independent Wall Street brokerages, the banking sector was shaken by the failure of Washington Mutual and the sale of Wachovia. In the insurance sector, the federal government provided an $85 billion loan to help stabilize American International Group (AIG). Finally, the U.S. Congress approved a $700 billion program authorizing the federal government to purchase troubled assets from financial institutions.
During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fed left rates unchanged at its June, August and September 2008 meetings after lowering the Federal Funds rate to 2.0% from 5.25% between August 2007 and May 2008. In addition to its interest rate policy, the Fed has also taken extraordinary action through a variety of innovative lending techniques in an attempt to facilitate an easing of the credit crisis.
Management Discussion
The Funds invest primarily in bonds with stated maturities of 10 years or longer at the time of investment, as longer-maturity bonds historically have provided greater tax-exempt income for investors than shorter-maturity bonds.
Relative to their primary benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index1 (the “Index”) – a broad-based, unmanaged index of municipal bonds – the Funds underperformed for the year ended September 30, 2008. As a result of an active management style that focuses on income and longer call protection, the Funds generally hold longer-maturity bonds. Management believes that much of the Funds’ underperformance can be attributed to the shift of investors’ capital into shorter-maturity bonds, a result of the broader-based credit crisis that has rattled the fixed-income markets since August 2007. This underperformance was magnified by the Funds’ investment in tender option bonds (TOBs).2 The move to shorter-term investments was originally driven by uncertainty surrounding financial companies’ exposure to subprime mortgage-backed debt but later spread to the municipal market when major municipal bond insurers suffered rating downgrades due to their exposure to mortgage-related structured products.
It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.
TOBs are a form of investment leverage that create an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, create special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value).
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information provided in the report may not be representative of the Funds’ current or future investments and may change due to active management.

Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of September 30, 2008
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The ratio of yields on current coupon AAA-rated insured bonds to the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds was 124.1% as of September 30, 2008, with many individual bonds trading higher than that.1 Management believes that this was the result of dislocation in the fixed-income marketplace caused by fears of the broader credit crisis, insurance companies’ mark-to-market risks and the decentralized nature of the municipal marketplace. Historically, this is a rare occurrence in the municipal bond market and is generally considered a signal that municipal bonds are significantly undervalued relative to taxable Treasury bonds.
Against this backdrop, management continues to manage all of its municipal funds with the same relative value approach that it has traditionally employed – maintaining a long-term perspective when markets exhibit extreme short-term volatility. We believe this approach has provided excellent long-term benefits to our investors over time.

Comparison of Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment in Eaton Vance California Municipals Fund Class B vs. the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Long 22+ Index *

*Source: Lipper, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.
A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class A shares on 9/30/98, Class C on 8/31/04 (commencement of operations), and Class I on 3/3/08 (commencement of operations) would have been valued at $13,360 ($12,725 at the maximum offering price), $10,055, and $9,892, respectively, on 9/30/08. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
1 Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. Class I shares are not subject to a sales charge. 2 Source: Prospectus dated 12/1/07, as supplemented 3/1/08. Includes interest expense of 0.33% relating to the Fund's liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjun ction with inverse floater securities transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions, and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. 3 The Fund's distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value. 4 Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 41.05% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower taxable-equivalent figures. 5 The Fund's SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of t he period and annualizing the result. 6 It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. Index performance is available as of month end only. 7 The Lipper Averages are the average annual total returns, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. It is not possible to invest in a Lipper Classification. Lipper Classifications may include insured and uninsured funds, as well as leveraged and unleveraged funds. The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 120, 100 and 71 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.

Comparison of Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment in Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipals Fund Class B vs. the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Long 22+ Index *

*Source: Lipper, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.
A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class A on 9/30/98, Class C on 5/2/06 (commencement of operations) and Class I on 9/30/98 would have been valued at $13,227 ($12,599 at the maximum offering price), $9,155 and $13,486, respectively, on 9/30/08. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
1 Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. Class I shares are not subject to a sales charge. 2 Source: Prospectus dated 12/1/07. Includes interest expense of 0.47% relating to the Fund's liability with respect to floating-rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with inverse float er securities transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions, and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. 3 The Fund's distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value. 4 Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 38.45% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower taxable-equivalent figures. 5 The Fund's SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizin g the result. 6 It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. Index performance is available as of month end only. 7 The Lipper Averages are the average annual total returns, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. It is not possible to invest in a Lipper Classification. Lipper Classifications may include insured and uninsured funds, as well as leveraged and unleveraged funds. The Lipper Massachusetts Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 41, 36 and 29 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively.

Comparison of Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment in Eaton Vance Ohio Municipals Fund Class B vs. the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Long 22+ Index *

*Source: Lipper, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.
A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class A on 9/30/98 and Class C on 2/3/06 (commencement of operations) would have been valued at $13,769 ($13,115 at the maximum offering price) and $9,604, respectively, on 9/30/08. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
1 Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. 2 Source: Prospectus dated 12/1/07. Includes interest expense of 0.31% relating to the Fund's liability with respect to floating-rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with inverse floater securities transactions by the Fund. The Fund a lso records offsetting interest income relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions, and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. 3 The Fund's distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value. 4 Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 39.26% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower taxable-equivalent figures. 5 The Fund's SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result. 6 It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. Index performance is available as of month end only. 7 The Lipper Averages are the average annual total returns, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. It is not possible to invest in a Lipper Classification. Lipper Classifications may include insured and uninsured funds, as well as leveraged and unleveraged funds. The Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 37, 32 and 28 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2008 – September 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 1.0% to 18.7% of total investments.

In addition, 15.0% of the Fund’s net assets at September 30, 2008 were invested in municipal obligations issued by Puerto Rico.

The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 4.9% to 19.9% of total investments.

Eaton Vance New York Municipals Fund as of September 30, 2008
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS CONT’D
The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by New York
municipalities. In addition, 15.6% of the Fund’s net assets at
September 30, 2008 were invested in municipal obligations issued
by Puerto Rico. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to
meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments
in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk
associated with such economic developments, at September 30,
2008, 22.8% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of
various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance
agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual
financial institution ranged from 0.2% to 7.3% of total investments.
(1) | Security represents the underlying municipal obligation of an inverse floating rate obligation held by the Fund. |
(2) | Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts. |
(3) | Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at September 30, 2008. |
(4) | Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At September 30, 2008, the aggregate value of these securities is $1,744,665 or 0.5% of the Fund’s net assets. |

The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by West Virginia municipalities. In addition, 16.0% of the Fund’s net assets at September 30, 2008 were invested in municipal obligations issued by Puerto Rico. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at September 30, 2008, 63.4% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 2.3% to 18.5% of total investments.
(1) | Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts. |
(2) | Security represents the underlying municipal obligation of an inverse floating rate obligation held by the Fund. |
(3) | Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At September 30, 2008, the aggregate value of these securities is $332,853 or 1.1% of the Fund’s net assets. |
(4) | Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at September 30, 2008. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of twenty-eight funds, eight of which, each non-diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance California Municipals Fund (California Fund), Eaton Vance Florida Plus Municipals Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Florida Municipals Fund) (Florida Plus Fund), Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipals Fund (Massachusetts Fund), Eaton Vance Mississippi Municipals Fund (Mississippi Fund), Eaton Vance New York Municipals Fund (New York Fund), Eaton Vance Ohio Municipals Fund (Ohio Fund), Eaton Vance Rhode Island Municipals Fund (Rhode Island Fund) and Eaton Vance West Virginia Municipals Fund (West Virginia Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds seek to provide current income e xempt from regular federal income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes. The Florida Plus Fund, Mississippi Fund, Ohio Fund, Rhode Island Fund and West Virginia Fund offer three classes of shares. The California Fund, Massachusetts Fund and New York Fund offer four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares of each Fund automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in each Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative n et assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation — Municipal bonds and taxable obligations, if any, are generally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing vendor, as derived from such vendor’s pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer. The pricing vendor may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued based on the closing price on the primary exchange on which such contracts trade. Interest rate swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a pricing vendor. Such vendor valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap curves provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Short-term obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available, and investments for which the price of a security is not believed to represent its fair market value, are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At September 30, 2008, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards

which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards are as follows:
| | | |
Fund | | Amount | Expiration Date |
|
California | $ | 658,740 | September 30, 2016 |
|
Florida Plus | | 1,228,966 | September 30, 2013 |

Ohio | | 5,839,721 | September 30, 2011 |
| | 1,709,089 | September 30, 2013 |
| | 240,163 | September 30, 2016 |

| | 71,778 | September 30, 2016 |
|
West Virginia | | 529,815 | September 30, 2013 |
| | 33,749 | September 30, 2016 |
During the year ended September 30, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $2,951,093 and $20,135 were utilized to offset net realized gains by the Florida Plus Fund and Mississippi Fund, respectively.
Additionally, at September 30, 2008, the California Fund, Massachusetts Fund, Mississippi Fund, New York Fund, Ohio Fund, Rhode Island and West Virginia Fund had net capital losses of $6,350,688, $11,921,921, $123,229, $6,686,305, $4,726,863, $972,642 and $764,838 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2007. These net capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ taxable year ending September 30, 2009.
As of September 30, 2008, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure.
Each of the Funds’ federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended September 30, 2008 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of thefinancial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.

I Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Funds may invest in inverse floating rate securities, also referred to as tender option bonds (TOBs), whereby a Fund may sell a fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time, the Fund buys a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), set up by the broker, often referred to as an inverse floating rate obligation (Inverse Floater). The broker deposits a fixed rate bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the fixed rate bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the fixed rate bond purchased from the Fund (the Fixed Rate Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The Funds may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the b roker by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the Fixed Rate Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Fixed Rate Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby collapsing the SPV. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (FAS 140), the Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bond in their Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in their Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. Interest expense related to the Funds’ liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. At September 30, 2008, the amounts of the Funds’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
| | | | | |
| | | | | Collateral for |
| | Floating Rate | Interest Rate | | Floating Rate |
| | Notes | or Range of | | Notes |
Fund | | Outstanding | Interest Rates | | Outstanding |
California | $ | 22,630,000 | 5.34% – 7.50% | $ | 30,457,120 |
Florida Plus | | 15,150,000 | 5.81% – 7.44% | | 22,885,646 |
Massachusetts | | 29,965,000 | 5.99% – 7.47% | | 38,214,662 |
Mississippi | | 365,000 | 6.55% – 7.50% | | 572,510 |
| | | | | |
| | | | | Collateral for |
| | Floating Rate | Interest Rate | | Floating Rate |
| | Notes | or Range of | | Notes |
Fund | | Outstanding | Interest Rates | | Outstanding |
New York | $ | 53,230,000 | 5.77% – 7.48% | $ | 69,751,345 |
Ohio | | 18,245,000 | 6.06% – 7.48% | | 25,215,114 |
Rhode Island | | 3,420,000 | 6.06% – 7.50% | | 4,932,281 |
West Virginia | | 855,000 | 6.06% – 7.50% | | 1,151,713 |
The Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in Inverse Floaters. Inverse floating rate securities typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of inverse floating rate securities are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Funds’ investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money for purposes of making investments. Management believes that the Funds’ restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liab ilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Funds’ restrictions apply. Inverse Floaters held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
J Financial Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into financial futures contracts. The Funds’ investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. In entering such contracts, the Fund bears the risk if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
K Interest Rate Swaps — The Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates, or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. Pursuant to these agreements, a Fund makes periodic payments at a fixed interest rate and, in exchange, receives payments based on the interest rate of a benchmark industry index. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. A Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates.
L When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
M Statement of Cash Flows — The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of a Fund is the amount included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gain (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards, if any), are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was as follows:

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table (except for California Fund) and is payable monthly.

Except for Trustees of the Funds who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Funds who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended September 30, 2008, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that each Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to each Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.20% (0.25% for California Fund) per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended September 30, 2008 for Class A shares amounted to the following:

Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require each Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Funds. Each Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by each Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofo re paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. Such payments were discontinued during portions of the year ended September 30, 2008 with respect to Class B of the Ohio Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees, representing 0.75% (0.59% for Class B of the Ohio Fund) of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class B and Class C shares:
| | | | |
| | Class B | | Class C |
Fund | | Distribution Fees | | Distribution Fees |

The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to EVD, investment dealers and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to that class. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.20% (0.25% for California Fund) per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the Class B and Class C sales commissions and distribution fees and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2008 amounted to the following:
| | | | |
| | Class B | | Class C |
Fund | | Service Fees | | Service Fees |

5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase) or a 1% or 0.50% CDSC if redeemed within one year or two years, respectively, on purchases through the Eaton Vance Supplemental Retirement Account. Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5%

in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to each Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Funds were informed that EVD received approximately the following amounts of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders:
| | | | | | | |
Fund | | Class A | | Class B | | | Class C |

9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2008, the California Fund, Florida Plus Fund, Massachusetts Fund and New York Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $9,000,000, $5,600,000, $800,000 and $2,800,000, respectively, at an interest rate of 2.185%.
The Funds’ average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2008 were not significant.
10 Financial Instruments
The Funds may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts and interest rate swaps and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment a Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at September 30, 2008 is as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
The effective date represents the date on which a Fund and the counterparty to the interest rate swap contract begin interest payment accruals.
At September 30, 2008, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
11 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of September 30, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative instruments. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
12 Plan of Reorganization
In June 2008, the Trustees of the Trust approved a Plan of Reorganization for the Florida Plus Fund which provides for a transfer of all its assets to and assumption of all its liabilities by the Eaton Vance National Municipals Fund (National Fund) in exchange for the issuance of shares of the National Fund. The Plan of Reorganization was appoved by the shareholders of the Florida Plus Fund on October 31, 2008. The transaction is expected to occur on or about November 21, 2008.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Eaton Vance California Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Florida Plus Municipals Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Florida Municipals Fund), Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Mississippi Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Ohio Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Rhode Island Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance West Virginia Municipals Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust) as of September 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the periods presented and the statements of cash flows of Eaton Vance Florida Plus Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance Rhode Island Municip als Fund for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of each Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by managem ent, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned at September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance California Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Florida Plus Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Mississippi Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Ohio Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Rhode Island Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance West Virginia Municipals Fund as of September 30, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, their financial highlights for each of the periods presented and the cash flows of Eaton Vance Florida Plus Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance Rhode Island Municipals Fund for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 21, 2008, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board (formerly the Special Committee), which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held in February, March and April 2008. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;
Comparative information concerning fees charged by each adviser for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the fund;
Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel;
Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds;
Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;
The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;
Information about each Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes;
Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures;
Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions;
Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates;
Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates;

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2008, the Board met eleven times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met twelve, seven and five times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective. The Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee are newly established and did not meet during the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2008.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreements of the following funds:
Eaton Vance California Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Florida Plus Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Mississippi Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance New York Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Ohio Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Rhode Island Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance West Virginia Municipals Fund
(the “Funds”), each with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the advisory agreement for each Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Funds, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Funds, and recent changes in the identity of such personnel. In particular, the Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to investing in municipal bonds. Specifically, the Board considered the Adviser’s large municipal bond team, which includes portfolio managers and credit specialists who provide services to the Funds. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Fund by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio

holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Board also considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2007 for each Fund in operation over such periods. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by each Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered each Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2007, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board considered that the Adviser had waived fees and/or paid expenses for each Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the management fee charged to the Fund for advisory and related services and the total expense ratio of the Fund are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and, if applicable, its affiliates in providing investment advisory and administrative services to each Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their relationship with the Funds.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and each Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of each Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of each Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and each Fund. The Board also conc luded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of each Fund, the structure of each advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.
