For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
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.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of 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 at 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).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. 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 most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
During the year ending July 31, 2009, the U.S. economy and the capital markets underwent the worst upheaval since the Great Depression, followed by a much-needed period of stabilization during which asset prices rallied. The U.S. economy contracted in all four quarters of the fiscal period from July 31, 2008, through July 31, 2009. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the economy declined at annualized rates of 2.7% and 5.4% in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, respectively, and at annualized rates of 6.4% and 1.0% in the first and second quarters of 2009, respectively.
In the first half of the period, the capital markets were shaken by unprecedented events. In September 2008, the federal government took control of federally chartered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. During the same month, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection; Bank of America announced its acquisition of Merrill Lynch; and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley petitioned the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) to become bank holding companies, a step that brings greater regulation but also easier access to credit. These actions, in conjunction with the announcement of Bear Stearns’ acquisition by JPMorgan Chase in March 2008, drastically redefined the Wall Street landscape. In addition to the independent Wall Street brokerages, the banking sector witnessed the failure of Washington Mutual and the sale of Wachovia. In the insurance sector, the federal government provided more than $150 billion in loans to help stabilize American Internation al Group (AIG).
After reaching a low for the period in mid-Decem-ber, the fixed-income markets began to improve. In January 2009, the Obama administration’s massive spending proposals served as a catalyst for optimism. A gradual upturn in the housing market was bolstered by historically low mortgage rates, an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers that was part of President Obama’s stimulus legislation, and a plethora of distressed properties on the market. Unemployment, on the other hand, rose to 9.4% in July 2009 from 5.8% in July 2008.
On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed a historic $787 billion stimulus program into law and outlined a $50 billion foreclosure rescue plan. These programs followed the $700 billion financial institution rescue legislation passed last fall. The Fed lowered the federal funds rate to a range of 0.0% to 0.25% from 2.00% as of July 31, 2008, and, in the first half of the period, took extraordinary action through a variety of innovative lending techniques in an attempt to ease the credit crisis.
During the year ending July 31, 2009, municipals continued the rally that had begun in mid-December 2008, posting a positive return for the period. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the Index) — a broad-based, unmanaged index of municipal bonds — gained 5.11%.1
Management Discussion
Despite outperforming the Index in the second half of the period, the Funds’ underperformance in the first half caused them to lag the Index for the fiscal year as a whole. Management believes that much of the Funds’ underperformance in the first half of the year can be attributed to the shift of capital into shorter-maturity bonds, a result of the broader-based credit crisis during that period. The Funds are actively managed, with an investment style that focuses on income, longer call protection and longer maturities. In addition, management has historically used Treasury futures to seek to offset interest-rate volatility associated with investing in longer-maturity municipal bonds. Investors’ flight to quality in 2008 pushed Treasury yields to historic lows, which also hurt the Funds’ performance during the first half of the fiscal year.
In the second half of the fiscal year, the municipal market witnessed a dramatic rebound as headline risk abated, demand returned from investors who had sought the relative safety of Treasury bonds in 2008, and cautious optimism spread on signs of a mildly improving economy. The renewed appetite for municipal bonds was buoyed by legislative efforts aimed at support-

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.

ing the municipal market, much of which focused on reducing tax-exempt municipal supply through the Build America Bonds program and the federal stimulus provided to states through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009. The result of these events during the second half of the period was a dramatic rally for the sector as yields fell and prices rose across the yield curve.
The Funds invest primarily in bonds with stated maturities of 10 years or longer, as longer-maturity bonds historically have provided greater tax-exempt income for investors than shorter-maturity bonds. While the price declines experienced by municipals in 2008 were most pronounced on the long end of the yield curve, longer-maturity bonds outperformed shorter maturities during the first half of 2009, thus providing the basis for much of the Funds’ underperformance and outperformance relative to the Index in the first and second halves, respectively. Similarly, higher allocations to revenue bonds hurt in the first half but later helped in the second half as general obligation bonds performed better in 2008 and worse in 2009.
Management employed leverage in some of the Funds, through which additional exposure to the municipal market was achieved. Leverage has the impact of enhancing returns during up markets while exacerbating performance on the downside.1
As we move ahead, we recognize that many state governments, particularly California, face significant budget deficits that are driven primarily by a steep decline in tax revenues. We will continue to monitor any new developments as state legislatures formulate solutions to address these fiscal problems. As in all environments, we maintain our long-term perspective on the markets against the backdrop of relatively short periods of market volatility. We will continue to actively manage municipals in this environment – like in all others – with the same income-focused, relative value approach we have always employed. We believe that this approach, which is based on careful credit research and our decades of experience in the municipal market, has served municipal investors well over the long term.
1Certain Funds employ tender option bond (TOB) financing. The leverage created by TOB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value). See Note 1I to the financial statements for more information on TOB investments.

Comparison of Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment in Eaton Vance Arizona Municipals Fund Class B vs. the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Capital Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index*

* | Source: Lipper, Inc. Class B of the Fund commenced investment operations on 7/25/91. |
| A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class A and Class C on 7/31/99 and 12/16/05 (commencement of operations), respectively, would have been valued at $14,684 ($13,986 at the maximum offering price) and $10,587, respectively, on 7/31/09.

The Indices’ total returns do not reflect 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, the 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 12/1/08. Includes interest expense of 0.14% 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 Fun d 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 37.95% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-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 Arizona Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 33, 26 and 21 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year time periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.

1 Rating Distribution is determined by dividing the total market value of the issues by the total investments of the Fund. Although the investment adviser considers ratings when making investment decisions, it performs its own credit and investment analysis and does not rely primarily on the ratings assigned by the rating services. Credit quality can change from time to time, and recently issued credit ratings may not fully reflect the actual risks posed by a particular security or the issuer’s current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security.
2 Fund holdings information excludes securities held by special purpose vehicles in which the Fund holds a residual interest. See Note 1I to the Fund’s financial statements.
3 See Note 1l to the Fund’s financial statements. TOB leverage represents the amount of TOB Floating Rate Notes outstanding at 7/31/09 as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets plus TOB Floating Rate Notes.

It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect 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, the 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 12/1/08. Includes interest expense of 0.35% relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with inverse fl oater 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 38.25% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-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 a nnualizing 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 Connecticut Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 20, 16 and 16 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year time periods, respectively.

1 Rating Distribution is determined by dividing the total market value of the issues by the total investments of the Fund. Although the investment adviser considers ratings when making investment decisions, it performs its own credit and investment analysis and does not rely primarily on the ratings assigned by the rating services. Credit quality can change from time to time, and recently issued credit ratings may not fully reflect the actual risks posed by a particular security or the issuer’s current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security.
2 Fund holdings information excludes securities held by special purpose vehicles in which the Fund holds a residual interest. See Note 1I to the Fund’s financial statements.
3 See Note 1l to the Fund’s financial statements. TOB leverage represents the amount of TOB Floating Rate Notes outstanding at 7/31/09 as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets plus TOB Floating Rate Notes.

Comparison of Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment in Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund Class B vs. the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Capital Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index*

* | Source: Lipper, Inc. Class B of the Fund commenced investment operations on 1/8/91. |
| A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class A, Class C and Class |
I | on 7/31/99, 1/13/06 (Class C commencement of operations) and 3/3/08 (Class I commencement of operations), respectively, would have been valued at $14,448 ($13,761 at the maximum offering price) $10,035 and $10,502, respectively, on 7/31/09. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect 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, the 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 12/1/08. Includes interest expense of 0.42% relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with inverse fl oater 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 37.00% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-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 a nnualizing 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 Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 57, 46 and 44 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year time periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.

By total investments
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of July 31, 2009
FUN D EXP ENSES
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 (February 1, 2009 – July 31, 2009).
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 be higher.

The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 0.3% to 21.6% of total investments.

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-seven funds, seven of which, each non-diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance Arizona Municipals Fund (Arizona Fund), Eaton Vance Colorado Municipals Fund (Colorado Fund), Eaton Vance Connecticut Municipals Fund (Connecticut Fund), Eaton Vance Michigan Municipals Fund (Michigan Fund), Eaton Vance Minnesota Municipals Fund (Minnesota Fund), Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipals Fund (New Jersey Fund) and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund (Pennsylvania Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds seek to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes. The Michigan Fund offers two classes o f shares. The Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Minnesota Fund and New Jersey Fund each offer three classes of shares. The Connecticut Fund and Pennsylvania Fund each 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 net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expens es, 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 third party pricing service, as derived from such service’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 service may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the
valuation for a security. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Interest rate swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such pricing service 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 generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T’D
At July 31, 2009, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce the respective 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 |
Arizona | $ 536,449 | July 31, 2010 |
| 353,624 | July 31, 2012 |
| 691,155 | July 31, 2013 |

Additionally, at July 31, 2009, the Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund had net capital losses of $2,875,011, $1,503,529, $2,201,927, $2,047,819, $1,252,675, $18,380,894 and $10,961,322, respectively, attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2008. These net capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ taxable year ending July 31, 2010.
As of July 31, 2009, 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 July 31, 2009 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 the financial 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
74
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of July 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T’D
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 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 terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the Inverse Floater for the underlying Fixed Rate Bond. 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. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement , such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At July 31, 2009, the amounts of the Funds’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
| | | |
| | | Collateral |
| Floating | Interest Rate | for Floating |
| Rate | or Range of | Rate |
| Notes | Interest | Notes |
Fund | Outstanding | Rates (%) | Outstanding |
Arizona | $ 950,000 | 1.07 | $ 1,882,501 |
Connecticut | 5,950,000 | 0.31 – 1.07 | 8,926,861 |
Michigan | 500,000 | 1.07 | 990,790 |
New Jersey | 30,425,000 | 0.31 – 0.37 | 40,318,005 |
Pennsylvania | 29,065,000 | 0.38 – 1.07 | 43,218,485 |
The Funds may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the broker 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 Funds had no shortfalls as of July 31, 2009.
The Funds may also purchase Inverse Floaters from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying fixed rate bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to Inverse Floaters purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments. 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 Liabilities. 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 f inancial 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.
75
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of July 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T’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.
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 gains (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 July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Arizona | Colorado | Connecticut | Michigan | Minnesota | New Jersey | Pennsylvania |

The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to futures contracts, accretion of market discount, inverse floaters, wash sales, swap contracts and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.

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 and is payable monthly.
| | |
| Annual | Daily |
Daily Net Assets | Asset Rate | Income Rate |
Up to $20 million | 0.10% | 1.00% |
$20 million up to $40 million | 0.20% | 2.00% |
$40 million up to $500 million | 0.30% | 3.00% |
On average daily net assets of $500 million or more, the rates are reduced. For the year ended July 31, 2009, investment adviser fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
| | |
| Investment | Effective |
Fund | Adviser Fee | Annual Rate |
Arizona | $ 358,512 | 0.38% |
Colorado | 78,474 | 0.23 |
Connecticut | 452,182 | 0.39 |
Michigan | 165,412 | 0.31 |
Minnesota | 301,630 | 0.35 |
New Jersey | 1,115,311 | 0.46 |
Pennsylvania | 1,192,193 | 0.44 |
EVM serves as administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of each Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD
also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5). Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the year ended July 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | |
| EVM’s | EVD’s |
| Sub-Transfer | Class A |
Fund | Agent Fees | Sales Charges |
Arizona | $1,587 | $ 5,989 |
Colorado | 925 | 3,222 |
Connecticut | 2,978 | 6,605 |
Michigan | 1,659 | 2,701 |
Minnesota | 1,993 | 7,847 |
New Jersey | 6,131 | 19,044 |
Pennsylvania | 7,167 | 32,918 |
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 July 31, 2009, 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% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.

Pennsylvania | 404,604 |
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 theretofore paid or p ayable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended July 31, 2009, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class B and Class C shares:
| | |
| Class B | Class C |
| Distribution | Distribution |
Fund | Fees | Fees |
Arizona | $41,413 | $55,994 |

New Jersey | — | 181,547 |
Pennsylvania | 175,149 | 234,763 |
At July 31, 2009, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately as follows:
| | |
Fund | Class B | Class C |
Arizona | $ 906,000 | $ 777,000 |

New Jersey | — | 2,503,000 |
Pennsylvania | 1,260,000 | 2,774,000 |
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% 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 July 31, 2009 amounted to the following:
| | |
| Class B | Class C |
Fund | Service Fees | Service Fees |
Arizona | $11,044 | $14,932 |
Colorado | 5,331 | 598 |

New Jersey | — | 48,413 |
Pennsylvania | 46,706 | 62,604 |
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). 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 condit ions.

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 July 31, 2009, the Funds were informed that EVD received approximately the following amounts of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders:

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 July 31, 2009, Arizona Fund, Michigan Fund and New Jersey Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $100,000, $700,000 and $2,800,000, respectively, at an interest rate of 0.795%. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended July 31, 2009.
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 do 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 July 31, 2009 is as follows:

The effective date represents the date on which a Fund and the counterparty to the interest rate swap contract begin interest payment accruals.
At July 31, 2009, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Funds adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, effective February 1, 2009. 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. The disclosure below includes additional information as a result of implementing FAS 161.
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Funds hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, each Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts. The Funds may also purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

11 Fair Value Measurements
The Funds adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective August 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
84
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of July 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T’D
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At July 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Arizona Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Colorado Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Connecticut Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Michigan Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Minnesota Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Arizona Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Colorado Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Connecticut Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Michigan Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Minnesota Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust) including the portfolios of investments, as of July 31, 2009, 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 management, as w ell as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2009, 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 positions of Eaton Vance Arizona Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Colorado Municipals Fund,
Eaton Vance Connecticut Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Michigan Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Minnesota Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund as of July 31, 2009, 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 five years in the period 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 27, 2009, 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 2009. 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

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, 2009, the Board met eighteen times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met seven, five, six, six and six 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.
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 Arizona Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Colorado Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Connecticut Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Michigan Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Minnesota Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipals Fund
Eaton Vance Pennsylvania 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 investment 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 att ention 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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT’D
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, 2008 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 fees and total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2008, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider.
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 fees charged for advisory and related services and the Fund’s total expense ratio are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof 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 of each Fund, 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 con cluded 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.
