Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission 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 (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year.

The municipal bond market is a center of capital formation for states, municipalities and, in some cases, private economic initiatives. In this edition of our continuing educational series, we will discuss industrial development revenue (IDR) bonds. IDR bonds have long been used as a financing mechanism by local governments to provide assistance to local employers and encourage job retention and creation within their communities.
IDR bonds finance private activities that benefit the public...
IDR bonds are issued by municipal authorities to finance projects and facilities used by private corporations. Historically, IDR bonds have represented a partnership between the private and public sectors – a source of dedicated funding for companies and a source of job creation in projects beneficial to local communities. The “Private-Activities” provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 permits issuance of tax-exempt bonds for specific activities, including pollution control; gas and electric service; water distribution; wastewater systems; solid waste disposal; airports and selected transportation projects; and other industrial projects.
The Act also placed a cap on the dollar amount that may be raised for IDR bonds in each state, limiting the amount to $50 per person/per state/per year, with a $150 million maximum. These limitations provide protection against potential abuse and ensure that tax-exempt IDR bonds will indeed be issued for projects that will benefit the public.
IDR bonds finance utility-related projects and other industrial initiatives...
Typically, IDR bond projects provide financing for manufacturing, processing or utility facilities. Historically, about one-half of these bonds have been issued to finance pollution control facilities for manufacturers and electric utilities. As many utilities and manufacturers have been ordered to comply with stricter environmental and fuel standards, pollution control bonds have helped finance the retrofits of existing plants. Other IDR bonds have served as inducements from state and local issuers to locate plants or build new facilities, in the hope that such construction might generate further economic growth for a community.
IDR bonds are secured by corporate revenues – not those of state or local governments...
IDR bond issues are secured by the credit of the underlying corporation. The municipal issuing authority acts solely as a conduit to permit tax-exempt financing. The corporation pledges to make payments sufficient to meet all debt service obligations. Unlike some revenue issues, IDR bonds are backed by revenues of the entire corporation, not solely by those of the project being financed.
Because IDR bonds are backed by corporate revenues and not by the taxing authority of a state or local jurisdiction, they have historically provided coupon premiums above those of general obligations and other more traditional revenue bonds. Bonds may be either collateralized or unsecured. Collateralized bonds have a lien against the company’s assets, which may provide bond holders enhanced bargaining power in the event of a bankruptcy. Unsecured bonds have no such lien.
While providing new opportunities, IDR bonds require rigorous analysis...
While IDR bonds may provide unusual investment opportunities, they also may entail increased risk, and therefore, demand especially intensive analysis. At Eaton Vance, we have credit analysts and resources dedicated to IDR bond research.
IDR bonds represent a key segment of the municipal bond market and should remain an important source of capital formation. In our view, the experience and resources needed to evaluate these issues further demonstrates the value of professional management. We will continue to look for opportunities in this sector of the municipal market.

M A R K E T R E C A P
Despite rising core inflation, an alarming jump in the Federal budget deficit and a hike in short-term interest rates, the U.S. economy remained on track for moderate growth in the six months ended January 31, 2005. One major factor for fixed-income investors during the period was the spike in gasoline and energy prices. Nonetheless, consumers remained fairly upbeat, with holiday season spending actually exceeding last year’s levels.
The U.S. economy continued its recovery in 2004, as manufacturing rebounded...
The nation’s Gross Domestic Product grew by 3.1% in the fourth quarter of 2004, according to preliminary Commerce Department figures, following a 4.0% rise in the third quarter. Economic activity was uneven, with some segments slowing and others growing at varying rates. For example, manufacturing activity gained strength, as capital spending picked up among businesses. Transportation equipment, electrical equipment, building materials and machine tools were in especially strong demand.
Demand was not uniform across the board, however, as evidenced by declines in the shipments of textiles, automobiles and some technology products. The residential construction sector remained strong, despite rising mortgage rates. The commercial segment, which has lagged significantly, showed some signs of renewal, with office vacancy rates moving lower.
After a sluggish first half, job growth gained traction in the second half of the fiscal year...
2004 brought some improvement on the job front. After posting minimal job growth in the first half of 2004, the second half brought increased hiring in selected industries. Manufacturing jobs gained, as did hiring in the service sectors, tourism, some transportation areas and the financial sector.
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001104659-05-015729/g47209bgimage006.jpg)
Having postponed new hiring for many months, some businesses apparently became increasingly convinced of the staying power of the recovery. As a result of increased job growth, the nation’s unemployment rate fell to 5.2% in January 2005, down from 5.7% a year earlier.
The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates in 2004...
The Federal Reserve pushed short-term rates higher, suggesting it will continue to raise rates in order to keep the economy from growing too quickly and, thereby, reviving inflation. Beginning in June 2004, the Fed increased its Federal Funds rate – a key short-term interest rate barometer – on six occasions, raising that benchmark from 1.00% to 2.50%.
In a difficult environment, the municipal bond market managed a respectable gain for the period. For the six months ended January 31, 2005, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 4.80%.*
* It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.
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.

The Fund
• The Fund’s Class A shares had a total return of 4.30% during the six months ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of an increase in net asset value (NAV) to $9.82 per share on January 31, 2005, from $9.65 on July 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.241 in dividends.(2)
• The Fund’s Class B shares had a total return of 4.12% during the six months ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of an increase in NAV to $10.92 per share on January 31, 2005, from $10.73 on July 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.248 in dividends.(2)
• For comparison, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 4.80% for the six months ended January 31, 2005.(3)
• Based on the Fund’s most recent dividends and NAVs on January 31, 2005, of $9.82 per share for Class A and $10.92 for Class B, the Fund’s distribution rates were 4.78% and 4.04%, respectively.(4) The distribution rates of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable rates of 7.74% and 6.55%, respectively.(5)
• The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and Class B shares at January 31, 2005, were 3.47% and 2.90%, respectively.(6) The SEC 30-day yields of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable yields of 5.62% and 4.70%, respectively.(5)

Management Discussion
• Arizona’s employment picture ended 2004 on an upward trend. The unemployment rate in December 2004 was 4.2%, down from 4.5% the previous month and 5.0% in December 2003. The state’s population growth fueled growth in the construction sector, which added 15,000 jobs during the past year. Despite job losses in manufacturing, that sector still gained strength.
• Escrowed/prerefunded bonds remained the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005. Escrowed bonds are prerefunded and backed by Treasury obligations, most often as the result of refunding of existing higher-coupon debt. Escrowed issues are valued for their high quality and above-average coupons.
• Insured* hospital bonds were prominent holdings in the Fund. Given the intense industry competition, management focused on institutions we believe have sound financial structures and good management and are well-positioned in their local markets.
• The Fund held a number of Puerto Rico bonds, which provided issuer diversification and a more varied coupon mix. Puerto Rico investments included insured* electric utilities, insured* transportation, and insured* lease revenue bonds.
• The Fund was well served by its broad diversification. In addition to diversifying according to issuer, sector and insurer, management had a mixed coupon allocation, balancing income-oriented higher-coupons with performance-minded lower coupons.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.
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) These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. (2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state and local income taxes and/or alternative minimum tax. (3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. (4) 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. (5) Taxable-equivalent rates assume maximum 38.28% federal and state income tax rate. A lower rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. (6) 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.

Management Discussion
• Colorado’s economic recovery gained strength through 2004 and ended the year on a positive note. A renewed surge in technology spending by businesses boosted the state’s economy, which had been sent into a severe slump after the “dotcom” bust of recent years. Moreover, employment, retail, and construction data all showed significant improvement.
• Representing 22.6% of net assets, insured* transportation bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005. Investments included issues for highways from various issuers, both in Colorado and in Puerto Rico. Typically, Puerto Rico issues offer good quality and further opportunities for diversification, as well as being tax-exempt in Colorado.
• Hospital bonds were significant investments for the Fund, representing a geographically diverse range of institutions throughout the state. Management emphasized hospitals with sound cost structures, good market share and in-demand health care specialities.
• Insured* general obligation bonds (GOs) were another focus for the Fund. Secured by local property taxes, they are deemed very high quality debt. Investments included a water and wastewater public improvement GO, as well as an issue for a Pueblo County school district. Such GOs are valued by investors in an economy in which there are lingering uncertainties about some industrial issuers.
• Industrial development revenue bonds were among the top sector weightings for the Fund at January 31, 2005. Management remained selective, focusing on one of the better-performing airlines, as well as several Puerto Rico issuers.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

Management Discussion
• While Connecticut’s gross state product slowed slightly from its 2003 growth rate of 4.0%, the state’s economy still profited from the improvement of the national economy. Increased defense spending, for example, benefited Connecticut’s manufacturing sector. The unemployment rate was 4.6% in December 2004.
• Insured* general obligations remained the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005 and provided a high-quality investment in a still-recovering economy. With a slow recovery constraining tax revenue growth, the Fund focused on communities that management believes can maintain property values and stable revenues.
• Insured* education bonds were the Fund’s next largest sector weighting. The issuers in this group have enjoyed stable revenues despite the recent economic fluctuations and included bonds from the state’s higher education system as well as some of its esteemed private institutes, such as Fairfield University and Trinity College.
• Insured* transportation bonds were another investment focus for the Fund.

Management Discussion
• Michigan’s economic recovery stalled in 2004 and employment gains lagged the rest of the nation’s. The state continued to lose jobs, but at a slower pace than in the previous 3 years. Manufacturing, which accounts for about 16 percent of Michigan employment, lost the most jobs in 2004. The motor vehicle and parts industry (about one-third of Michigan’s manufacturing jobs) accounted for 84 percent of lost manufacturing jobs.
• At 41.5% of net assets, insured* general obligations were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005 and provided a high-quality investment in a still-recovering economy. The Fund’s investments were diversified among local school district issuers. Given the slow recovery of the Michigan economy, insured* GOs provided an added measure of security.
• Hospital bonds were also prominent investments for the Fund. With cost containment increasingly a requisite for survival in the hospital industry, management seeks issuers with strong underlying fundamentals, attractive health care specialties and high utilization rates. The Fund added a new holding that management believed to meet this criteria, a bond for the Otsego Memorial Hospital Association.
• Insured* education bonds were among the Fund’s larger sector weightings at January 31, 2005. Investments included bonds from Michigan’s state university system. Historically, these institutions have enjoyed strong applicant demand and stable-to-rising tuition income.
• With continued low interest rates, management continued to adjust coupon structure and upgrade call characteristics, as market conditions dictated. Coupon structure and call features can have a significant influence on the Fund’s performance.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

Management Discussion
• After outperforming the national economy in 2003, Minnesota job creation ground to a halt mid-year and lagged the U.S. average in 2004. All but 5,000 of the state’s 23,000 new jobs were created in the first 4 months of 2004. However, at 4.4% in January 2005, the unemployment rate was healthier than the national average.
• Insured* and uninsured electric utility bonds remained a primary focus for the Fund, contributing to the Fund’s performance for the period ended January 31, 2005. The Fund increased its electric utilities holdings in the past six months.
• Management reduced the Fund’s holdings in general obligations (GOs) over the six-month period. Management was able to sell some of its investments in GOs, typically considered among the highest-quality and most liquid municipal bonds available, at attractive prices.
• One of the Fund’s holdings, issued by the city of Minneapolis for its Art Center Facilities, helped to finance a major expansion at the renowned Walker Art Center that nearly doubles the size of the facility.
• Management continued to emphasize the Fund’s call protection. Faced with the prospect of a faster pace of refundings, management believes that call protection remains an important strategic aspect for municipal bond investors.

Management Discussion
• New Jersey maintained a healthy employment profile in 2004. The state’s unemployment rate was 4.2% for December 2004, well below the national average. New job creation was led by the natural resources/mining and construction industries, with manufacturing the only sector posting net losses.
• Insured* transportation bonds represented the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005. Investments included bonds for river authorities, port facilities, turnpike authorities and a marine terminal – all key segments of New Jersey’s economic infrastructure.
• Hospital bonds were also a prominent investment for the Fund. Management was selective within this sector, given the industry’s competitive and operating pressures, focusing on issues of well-managed facilities with sound underlying fundamentals and good cost controls. With these criteria in mind, we added to two of the Fund’s positions in this sector, purchasing bonds for the Cooper Health System and the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
• The Fund also added a new insured* general obligation (GO) bond for the Elmwood Park Board of Education. Secured by local property taxes, GOs are generally deemed very high quality debt. and are valued by investors in an economy in which there are lingering uncertainties about some industrial issuers.
• Management continued to focus on increasing the Fund’s call protection. As low interest rates prompt refundings, call protection remains an important concern for municipal investors.

Management Discussion
• Pennsylvania’s job situation improved in 2004, following three years of job losses. Employment gains were spread across a range of industries, including retail, business services, education, health care, leisure and tourism.
• Insured* general obligations (GOs) remained the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005 and provided a high-quality investment in a recovering economy. The Fund’s GO investments were focused on school district issues, which historically have had fairly stable revenues.
• Insured* escrowed/prerefunded bonds were another major investment for the Fund. Escrowed bonds are generally considered to be of the highest quality, warranting a AAA credit rating, because they have been prerefunded or escrowed to maturity by their issuers and because they are backed by Treasury bonds. They are also attractive investments because they generally provide a reliable stream of income.
• The Fund also added a new holding in the insured* education sector. Issued by Pennsylvania HEFA, the bond helps finance projects at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, a distinguished institution training students in the pharmaceutical and health care fields.
• With cost containment increasingly a requisite for survival in the hospital industry, management is highly selective in this sector, seeking issuers with strong underlying fundamentals, attractive health care specialties and high utilization rates. The Fund added a new holding that management believed to meet this criteria, a bond for the St. Mary Hospital Authority’s Catholic Health East.
• Effective February 1, 2005, Thomas Metzold assumed management responsibilities for the Fund. A vice president of Eaton Vance Management and Boston Research and Management, Mr. Metzold joined Eaton Vance in 1987, and has been a portfolio manager of several Eaton Vance funds since 1991.

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) These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. (2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state and local income taxes and/or alternative minimum tax. (3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. (4) 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. (5) Taxable-equivalent rates assume maximum 37.00% federal and state income tax rate. A lower rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. (6) 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.

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 (August 1, 2004 – January 31, 2005).
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 line, 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 line 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 a Fund’s actual 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 the Funds 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 the 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 the 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.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust (the Trust) is an entity of the type commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of twenty-eight 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), individually, the Fund, collectively, the Funds. The Funds seek to achieve current income exempt from regular federal income tax and particular state or local income taxes by investing primarily in investment grade municipal obligations. The Funds offer two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B shares are sold at net asset value and are subject to a declining contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 6). The Trustees have adopted a conversion feature pursuant to which 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 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.
On September 17, 2004, the Arizona Fund, the Colorado Fund, the Connecticut Fund, the Michigan Fund, the Minnesota Fund, the New Jersey Fund and the Pennsylvania Fund received its pro rata share of cash and securities from the Arizona Municipals Portfolio (Arizona Portfolio), Colorado Municipals Portfolio (Colorado Portfolio), Connecticut Municipals Portfolio (Connecticut Portfolio), Michigan Municipals Portfolio (Michigan Portfolio), Minnesota Municipals Portfolio (Minnesota Portfolio), New Jersey Municipals Portfolio (New Jersey Portfolio) and Pennsylvania Municipals Portfolio (Pennsylvania Portfolio), in a complete liquidation of its interest in its corresponding Portfolio. Subsequent to September 17, 2004, each Fund invests directly in securities rather than through its co rresponding Portfolio and maintains the same investment objective.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuations - Municipal bonds are normally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Taxable obligations, if any, for which price quotations are readily available are normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Over-the-counter options on financial futures contracts are normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Interest rate swaps are normally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a broker. Short-term obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are value d at amortized cost, which approximates value. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B Income - Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or 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 all of its taxable and tax-exempt income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At July 31, 2004, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers, which will reduce each Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to sharehol ders 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 carryovers are as follows:

| | | 1,108,751 | | | July 31, 2012 | |
Dividends paid by each Fund from net interest on tax-exempt municipal bonds are not includable by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes because each Fund intends to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies that will enable the Funds to pay tax-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.
Additionally, at July 31, 2004, Arizona Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund had net capital losses of $173,763, $14,348, $590,062 and $1,134,215, respectively, attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2003. These are treated as arising on the first day of each Fund's taxable year ending July 31, 2005.
D Financial Futures Contracts - Upon the entering of a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit (initial margin) either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Fund. A Fund's investment in financial futures contracts is designed to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
E Options on Financial Futures Contracts - Upon the purchase of a put option on a financial futures contract by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires, a Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. When a Fund exercises a put option, settlement is made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
F When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions - The Funds may engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date.
G Interest Rate Swaps - A Fund 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, the Fund makes semi-annual payments at a fixed interest rate. In exchange, a Fund 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 and losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between
62
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
two rates of interest. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. However, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates.
H 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.
I Legal Fees - Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirements 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.
J Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees are reported as a reduction of total expenses on the Statements of Operations.
K 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.
L 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 obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
M Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification of the securities sold.
N Interim Financial Statements - The interim financial statements relating to January 31, 2005 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Funds' management reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net 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, 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. Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares of the same class or, at the election of the shareholder, 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 finan cial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
3 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Funds' Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Funds) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

Except as to Trustees of the Funds who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of such investment adviser fee. EVM serves as the 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. For the six months ended January 31, 2005, EVM earned $1,222, $632, $3,172, $1,837, $1,227, $5,358, and $6,235 in sub-transfer agent fees from Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund, respectively. The Funds were informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM and the Funds' principal underwriter, received $5,264, $812, $2,650, $1,701, $5 60, $7,234 and $9,638 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares from the Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2005.
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 six months ended January 31, 2005, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.
5 Distribution and Service Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class B (Class B Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and a service plan for Class A (Class A Plan) (collectively, the Plans). The Class B Plan requires each Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 1/365 of 0.75% of each Fund's daily net assets attributable to Class B shares, for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Fund. 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% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B shares sold 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 reduced by the a ggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 6) and daily amounts theretofore paid to EVD. The amount payable to EVD with respect to each day is accrued on such day as a liability of each Fund's Class B shares and, accordingly, reduces each Fund's net assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2005, the Class B shares of the Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund paid or accrued $71,312, $39,440, $133,693, $39,506, $56,679, $295,260 and $194,777, respectively, to EVD, representing 0.75% of each Fund's Class B average daily net assets. At January 31, 2005, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B Plans for Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund were approximately $1 ,017,000, $875,000, $1,385,000, $97,000, $763,000, $1,007,000 and $1,808,000, respectively.
The Plans authorize each Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, investment dealers and other persons in amounts equal to 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class B shares for each fiscal year. Service fee payments will be made for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable by each Fund to EVD, and as such are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. For the six months ended January 31, 2005, Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund paid or accrued service fees to or payable to EVD in the amount of $48,052, $19,937, $100,441, $55,314, $29,510, $167,271 and $163,103, respecti vely, for Class A shares, and $19,016, $10,517, $35,652, $10,535, $15,114, $78,736 and $51,941, respectively, for Class B shares.
6 Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 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 gains distributions. The Class B CDSC 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. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVD or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSC received on Class B redemptions are paid t o EVD to reduce the amount

of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund's Class B Distribution Plan (see Note 5). CDSC received on Class B redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to each Fund. EVD received approximately $0, $0, $0, $0, $0, $2,000 and $4 of CDSC paid by Class A shareholders of Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2005. EVD received approximately $32,000, $9,000, $40,000, $19,000, $11,000, $56,000 and $62,000 of CDSC paid by Class B shareholders of Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2005.

9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and EVM and their affiliates in a $150 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions. Interest is charged to each portfolio or 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 January 31, 2005, the Colorado Fund, the Connecticut Fund, the Minnesota Fund, and the New Jersey Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $100,000, $200,000, $100,000, and $1,600,000 respectively. The Funds did not have any significant borrow ings or allocated fees during the six months ended January 31, 2005.
10 Overdraft Advances
Pursuant to the custodian agreement between the Funds and IBT, IBT may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Funds to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft by the Funds, the Funds are obligated to repay IBT at the current rate of interest charged by IBT for secured loans (currently, a rate above the federal funds rate). This obligation is payable on demand to IBT. IBT has lien on the Fund's assets to the extent of any overdraft. At January 31, 2005, the Colorado Fund's, Connecticut Fund's, Minnesota Fund's, and New Jersey Fund's payment due to IBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement was $25,634, $69,070, $4,014 and $85,666, respectively.

11 Financial Instruments
The Funds regularly trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include futures contracts, options on 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 January 31, 2005 is as follows:
