LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Thomas J. Fetter
President
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.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

MARKET RECAP
The U.S. economy continued to generate moderate growth during the six months ended February 28, 2005. However, the relentless hikes in gasoline and energy prices were increasingly felt by consumers. Meanwhile, the weak U.S. dollar kept U.S. exports competitive, but raised inflationary concerns and helped push interest rates higher.
The long-depressed manufacturing sector showed signs of life during the period...
The nation’s Gross Domestic Product grew by 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2004, according to Commerce Department figures, following a 4.0% rise in the third quarter. Manufacturing activity expanded strongly, especially durable goods manufacturing, driven by the production of machine tools, trucks, defense-related products and selected technology products.
Despite higher gas and fuel prices, consumers remained active, although the pace of auto sales weakened somewhat. Travel and tourism activity was strong, benefiting the service and hospitality industries. Housing and residential construction remained robust, while commercial building gained new momentum in selected markets.
The economy enjoyed impressive job growth in late 2004 and early 2005...
The nation’s labor markets strengthened during the period. The pace of hiring picked up in areas that had suffered large technology sector layoffs in recent years. Manufacturing, financial services, business services, trucking, shipping, construction, energy, health care, and media also generated impressive new job creation, while temporary employment agencies witnessed strong demand. As a result of increased job growth, the nation’s unemployment rate fell to 5.2% in February 2005, down from 5.7% a year earlier.

The Federal Reserve continued to raise short-term interest rates in 2005...
The Federal Reserve pushed short-term rates higher, suggesting it will continue to raise rates 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 seven occasions, raising that benchmark from 1.00% to 2.75%, including its most recent rate hike in March 2005.
The municipal bond market managed a respectable gain for the six months, outperforming the Treasury market. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 2.40%.*
* It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.
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.

INVESTMENT UPDATE
The Fund
Performance for the Past Six Months
• The Fund’s Class A shares had a total return of 2.79% during the six months ended February 28, 2005.(1) This return was the result of an increase in net asset value (NAV) to $9.85 per share on February 28, 2005 from $9.80 on August 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.221 in dividends.(2)
• The Fund’s Class B shares had a total return of 2.61% during the six months ended February 28, 2005.(1) This return was the result of an increase in NAV to $10.83 per share on February 28, 2005 from $10.77 on August 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.219 in dividends.(2)
• For comparison, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 2.40% for the six months ended February 28, 2005.(3)
• Based on the Fund’s most recent dividends and NAVs on February 28, 2005 of $9.85 per share for Class A and $10.83 for Class B, the Fund’s distribution rates were 4.30% and 3.55%, respectively.(4) The distribution rates of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable rates of 6.96% and 5.75%, respectively.(5)
• The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and Class B shares at February 28, 2005 were 3.45% and 2.87%, respectively.(6) The SEC 30-day yields of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable yields of 5.59% and 4.65%, respectively.(5)

Management Discussion
• Alabama experienced moderate economic growth in late 2004, although job growth remained sluggish. The exodus of apparel, textile, and paper production continued, although auto production benefited from direct investment by foreign manufacturers. The state’s jobless rate was 5.2% in February 2005, down from 5.6% a year ago.
• Insured* water and sewer bonds remained the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. Alabama communities have increased the level of capital investment in recent years. Having suffered from drought in recent years, some communities have initiated programs aimed at watershed protection and drought-resistant facilities.
• In the Alabama hospital sector, the Fund remained very selective. Management focused on insured* bonds of hospitals it believes have a sound financial profile, as well as a competitive advantage due to in-demand health care services, such as rehabilitation, cancer care and children’s health services.
• Insured* general obligations (GOs) remained a significant investment. The Fund’s investments focused on cities and towns with a relatively strong tax base and sound economic underpinning, two key determinants for investors in general obligations.
• Management adjusted the Fund’s coupon mix to reflect changing market conditions. Management also continued its efforts to upgrade the Fund’s call protection. The Fund sold bonds with approaching call dates in favor of high quality, non-callable bonds and bonds with more attractive call characteristics.
* 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 the sales charge were deducted, returns would be lower.
(2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal income and/or alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes.
(3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the 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 figures assume a maximum 38.25% combined 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
• Arkansas’ economic condition improved in 2004, as the state registered its fastest job growth since 2000. With the exception of the manufacturing sector, all major state employment sectors posted positive year-over-year growth. Leisure, education and health care paced new job creation. The state jobless rate was 5.5% in February 2005, down from 5.7% a year ago.
• Hospital bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. The Fund’s investments included uninsured and insured* issues for geographically diverse facilities throughout the state. The Fund’s investments emphasized competitive hospitals with attractive health care specialties and strong underlying finances.
• Industrial development revenue bonds played a prominent role in the Fund, although management remained selective within the sector. The Fund’s investments included paper and airline bonds – areas that, in management’s view, are likely to enjoy stronger demand in sustained economic recovery.
• The Fund maintained a significant exposure to essential services bonds, including insured* water and sewer issues. Because the revenues for these issues are based on fees and water payments, they are considered less subject to economic fluctuations.
• The Fund continued to pursue broad diversification by sector, issuer and coupon distribution. In addition, management extended its efforts to update call protection, a key strategic consideration in a period of relatively low rates.
• Effective May 2, 2005, Thomas M. Metzold will be the Fund’s sole portfolio manager.

• The Fund’s Class B shares had a total return of 2.34% during the six months ended February 28, 2005.(1) This return was the result of an increase in NAV to $10.14 per share on February 28, 2005 from $10.13 on August 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.225 in dividends.(2)

Management Discussion
• Georgia’s economy continued to expand during the fiscal year, although lagging the national pace, as the state’s manufacturing industries have seen continuing layoffs. Georgia’s Atlanta-based technology sector generated some gains, although it has not yet recovered to pre-recession levels of 2000. The state’s jobless rate was 5.1% in February 2005, up from 4.3% a year ago.
• Insured* water and sewer bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. Revenues for essential services, including water utilities, have historically been less impacted by changes in the overall economy. Georgia’s population growth and surging residential and commercial development have necessitated major improvements in the state’s water infrastructure.
• Industrial development revenue bonds constituted large investments. The Fund’s investments represented economically sensitive companies, as well as defensive industries. Investments included paper manufacturers, consumer products, beverages, airlines and a maker of chemical catalysts used in oil refining.
• Insured* transportation bonds were a major commitment for the Fund. Investments focused predominantly on Atlanta’s rapid transit system. The bonds have helped finance the system’s expansion needed to accommodate the city’s urban sprawl.
• Management continued to update the Fund’s coupon distribution to reflect a changing interest rate outlook. In addition, management continued to upgrade call protection, where possible, to protect against untimely calls and improve the Fund’s appreciation potential.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

Management Discussion
• Kentucky’s economy improved significantly in 2004 and early 2005, with employment gains at the fastest pace since the 2001 recession. Most major sectors saw impressive gains during the year. While manufacturing continued to shed jobs, the rate of job loss was markedly lower than that seen during the recession. The state’s jobless rate was 5.2% in February 2005, down from 5.7% a year ago.
• Insured* transportation bonds bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. The Fund’s investments included issues for highway, turn-pike and regional airport authorities. With the region’s air passenger and freight traffic doubling in the past decade, these bonds have helped finance a much-needed expansion.
• Industrial development revenue bonds were significant holdings for the Fund. Amid signs of a stronger economy, the Fund’s investments included issues in economically sensitive areas such as the airline, chemical, retailing, energy and metals industries.
• Insured* lease revenue/certificates of participation (COPs) constituted prominent investments. COPs are an alternative financing tool employed by some communities to finance educational facilities and assorted public improvements.
• Management sought to diversify the Fund’s investments according to issuer, sector and insurer and coupon allocation. In addition, management continued to monitor call characteristics. Call features can have a significant influence on the Fund’s ability to respond to changes in interest rates.
* 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 the sales charge were deducted, returns would be lower.
(2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal income and/or alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes.
(3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the 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 figures assume a maximum 38.90% combined 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
• Louisiana has seen uneven job growth in the past year. The state’s key chemical sector lost ground, as the industry was hurt by high natural gas prices. Education, health care, retail and telecommunications generated meaningful growth. Manufacturing was generally flat, although there was a pick-up in auto and ship building. The state’s jobless rate was 6.0% in February 2005, up from 5.7% a year ago.
• Insured* education bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. The education sector has historically tended to be less sensitive to the vagaries of the economy. The Fund’s investments included state and local finance authority bonds that provided financing for the construction of student housing, classroom and lab facilities.
• Insured* general obligations (GOs) represented a large investment for the Fund. With the state’s key energy industry hurt by weather-related shutdowns and the chemical industry hurt by high natural gas prices, insured* state, parish and local GOs provided an attractive measure of revenue stability.
• Insured* special tax revenue bonds constituted a major commitment for the Fund. These issues gave Louisiana communities an alternative financing source for public facilities, with revenue streams generated by gas and fuel taxes and local district sales taxes.
• Management continued to update the Fund’s call protection, when possible, trading bonds with near-term calls for non-callable bonds or issues with longer-dated call provisions.
• From a coupon standpoint, management maintained a well-diversified allocation, balancing defensive, higher-coupon issues with interest-rate-sensitive, low- and zero-coupon issues for appreciation potential.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

• Maryland’s job growth outpaced that of the nation during the past year, helped, in part, by increased spending for homeland security. In addition, the region’s key tourism industry has recovered significantly since 2001, boosting the leisure, lodging and services sectors. Maryland’s jobless rate was 4.2% in February 2005, unchanged from a year ago.
• Education bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. The education sector has generally been less sensitive to the vagaries of the economy. The Fund’s investments included public and private institutions that have relatively strong applicant demand and stable-to-rising tuition and fee income.
• Insured* and uninsured hospital issues played a major role in the Fund. Management remained very selective, focusing on the more competitive institutions that have sound management, favorable cost structures, good market share and low bed-vacancy rates.
• Insured* water and sewer bonds were large investments. Essential service revenues of water utilities tend to be relatively stable, generally unaffected by changes in the overall economy. The Fund’s investments included bonds for Baltimore’s water and wastewater systems, which include the city’s reservoir watersheds, wastewater treatment facilities and water filtration plants.
• The Fund had significant investments in insured* transportation bonds. Among the Fund’s investments were bonds that helped finance an ongoing $1.8 billion improvement project for Baltimore-Washington airport. Improvements included a terminal expansion, new parking lots, rental car facilities and widened access roads.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

• Missouri’s economy grew unevenly in the past year. Around 5,000 manufacturing jobs were generated, a modest recouping of the 57,000 such jobs lost in the past five years in the metals, machinery, and electronic equipment areas. Construction saw impressive growth, amid a stronger housing and commercial climate. The state’s jobless rate was 5.8% in February 2005, up from 5.5% a year ago.
• Insured* lease revenue/certificates of participation (COPs) were the Fund’s largest sector weightings at February 28, 2005. These bonds represented a financing alternative that gave Missouri issuers increased financial flexibility. The bonds financed a variety of public projects, including convention center and hotel construction, sports facilities and other capital improvement programs.
• Insured* and uninsured hospital issues were significant investments for the Fund. Amid rising costs and more stringent reimbursement rules, management emphasized hospitals with sound underlying fundamentals, and a reputation for quality care and marketable health care specialties.
• The Fund had investments in selected industrial development revenue bonds (IDRs). IDRs tend to be more sensitive to the economy and may be helped by a recovery in industrial activity. The Fund’s investments included retailing, consumer products, chemicals, air freight and beverages.
• The Fund continued its efforts at diversification. In addition to diversifying according to issuer, sector and insurer, management had a balanced coupon allocation. Management also emphasized good call protection, which remains a strategic priority.

Management Discussion
• North Carolina’s economic recovery gained ground in the past year. The state’s technology sector was boosted by planned expansions and new facilities by computer manufacturers and suppliers. In contrast, the textile and furniture industries have been challenged by the removal of import quotas. The state jobless rate was 5.4% in February 2005, down from 5.8% a year ago.
• Electric utilities bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. These essential services bonds are prized by investors for their stable revenues independent of the overall economy. The Fund’s investments included county and state issuers, as well as selected Puerto Rico zero coupon issues.
• Escrowed/prerefunded bonds were prominent investments for the Fund. Pre-refunded to maturity and backed by Treasury bonds, escrowed bonds are considered very high credit quality, have relatively stable trading characteristics and may have above-average coupons.
• The Fund maintained a significant exposure to education bonds. Investments included some of the state’s premier universities, which enjoy excellent academic reputations, strong applicant demand and very stable tuition-based revenues.
• Diversification has been a major emphasis of the Fund. Management has sought a broad representation within the Fund on an issue, sector, coupon and structural basis. Given the relatively low level of interest rates, call protection has remained another key consideration.
• Effective May 2, 2005, Thomas M. Metzold will be the Fund’s sole portfolio manager.

Management Discussion
• After a three-year downtrend, Oregon’s job growth outpaced the nation in 2004. Most sectors in the state generated job increases during this period, especially business services and manufacturing. The manufacturing sector received a boost from a rebound in semiconductor production. The state jobless rate was 6.6% in February 2005, down from 7.7% a year ago.
• Housing bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. Housing bonds typically constitute a large portion of Oregon’s municipal issuance. The Fund’s investments were represented by city, county and state issuers, and included single- and multi-family housing projects.
• General obligations (GOs) played a prominent role in the Fund. The Fund’s GO investments included issues for the state’s board of education, local school districts, elderly and disabled housing and veterans’ welfare services.
• Industrial development revenue bonds (IDRs) provided the Fund an exposure to the economic cycle. The Fund’s IDR investments focused primarily on the state’s key paper industry and on airline bonds, each potential beneficiaries of a sustained economic recovery.
• The Fund had selected investments in Puerto Rico issues, providing diversification by issuer and coupon. The Fund’s Puerto Rico investments included GOs, electric utilities, education, IDRs, lease revenue and special tax revenue bonds.
• Effective May 2, 2005, Thomas M. Metzold will be the Fund’s sole portfolio manager.

Management Discussion
• South Carolina continued its economic recovery, despite a downturn in non-durable manufacturing, as the apparel and textile industries remained vulnerable to global outsourcing. However, the state’s auto sector remained a notable success story. Meanwhile, coastal regions were strong beneficiaries of growth in the tourism and leisure industries. The state’s jobless rate was 7.1% in February 2005, up from 6.7% a year ago.
• Insured* education bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. Unlike more cyclical areas of the economy, demand within the education sector has tended to be less impacted by shifts in the overall economy. The Fund’s investments included some of South Carolina’s finest state-supported institutions.
• Insured* water and sewer bonds were significant investments. The demands imposed by widespread residential construction and large economic developments and manufacturing facilities have necessitated major new water infrastructure projects. Those initiatives have been supported in part by these insured* issues.
• Insured* utility bonds were prominent holdings in the Fund. As essential service bonds, these issues enjoy relatively stable revenues. The Fund’s investments included high quality issuers such as the state public service authority and a regional municipal power agency.
• Management adjusted the Fund’s coupon structure, where possible, to reflect the shift in interest rates. Management also continued to update call protection, eliminating issues with unfavorable call features in favor of bonds with longer-dated call provisions.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

Management Discussion
• Tennessee’s economy generated job growth during the past year in selected sectors, including construction, education, health care and tourism. Manufacturing also gained momentum, led by the state’s growing auto sector and the plans announced by Japanese manufacturers for future plant locations. Nonetheless, the state’s jobless rate was 5.9% in February 2005, up from 5.4% a year ago.
• Insured* electric utility bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. Amid very limited new issuance of Tennessee municipal bonds, the electric utility sector remained an area characterized by well-regarded and liquid state and local issuers with dependable revenue streams.
• Insured* general obligations (GOs) constituted a major commitment for the Fund. As part of management’s emphasis on high credit quality, these issues included county GOs, school district bonds and local building authority bonds. These issues are backed by the taxing power of the issuing authority and are not reliant on any single project.
• Insured* escrowed/prerefunded bonds were significant holdings for the Fund. Escrowed bonds are either pre-refunded or escrowed to maturity and backed by Treasury bonds, most often as the result of a refinancing of existing higher-coupon debt. Valued by investors for their high credit quality, escrowed bonds may carry above-average coupons.
• Management emphasized high quality, as quality spreads remained unusually narrow. The Fund maintained selective investments in Puerto Rico issues, which provided good quality as well as additional opportunities for coupon and sector diversification.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

Management Discussion
• Virginia’s economy continued to expand in 2004, with the Common-wealth’s northern tier benefiting from defense and homeland security spending. The region’s technology sector continued its recovery and residential construction remained strong. The southern tier was hurt by layoffs in textile and furniture industries. Virginia’s jobless rate was 3.3% in February 2005, down from 3.7% a year ago.
• Insured* transportation bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at February 28, 2005. Transportation plays a vital role in an area that serves as the nation’s political center and a major regional economic hub. The Fund’s investments included highways, bridge and tunnel authorities, and regional airport authorities.
• Insured* hospital bonds constituted a large focus for the Fund. As elsewhere in the nation, Virginia hospitals face growing pressures due to rising costs, Medicare reimbursement issues and increased competition. The Fund focused on selected institutions that have managed to contain costs and have adopted successful marketing strategies within their local markets.
• Insured* education bonds remained significant investments. Colleges and universities historically have enjoyed stable tuition income due to relatively consistent applicant demand. The Fund’s investments included state building authority bonds that financed dormitories and classrooms for Virginia universities.
• Management continued to adjust the Fund’s coupon structure, where possible, and upgrade call protection. Faced with the possibility of a quickened pace of refundings, call protection has become a more important strategic consideration.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each 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 (September 1, 2004 – February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the tables 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 the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratios 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 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, twelve of which, each non-diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance Alabama Municipals Fund (Alabama Fund), Eaton Vance Arkansas Municipals Fund (Arkansas Fund), Eaton Vance Georgia Municipals Fund (Georgia Fund), Eaton Vance Kentucky Municipals Fund (Kentucky Fund), Eaton Vance Louisiana Municipals Fund (Louisiana Fund), Eaton Vance Maryland Municipals Fund (Maryland Fund), Eaton Vance Missouri Municipals Fund (Missouri Fund), Eaton Vance North Carolina Municipals Fund (North Carolina Fund), Eaton Vance Oregon Municipals Fund (Oregon Fund), Eaton Vance South Carolina Municipa ls Fund (South Carolina Fund), Eaton Vance Tennessee Municipals Fund (Tennessee Fund) and Eaton Vance Virginia Municipals Fund (Virginia Fund), (collectively, the Funds). The Funds seek to achieve current income exempt from regular federal income tax and particular state or local income or other 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 unrealize d 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' 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 24, 2004, the Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Georgia Fund, Kentucky Fund, Louisiana Fund, Maryland Fund, Missouri Fund, North Carolina Fund, Oregon Fund, South Carolina Fund, Tennessee Fund, and Virginia Fund received its pro rata share of cash and securities from the Alabama Municipals Portfolio (Alabama Portfolio), the Arkansas Municipals Portfolio (Arkansas Portfolio), Georgia Municipals Portfolio (Georgia Portfolio), Kentucky Municipals Portfolio (Kentucky Portfolio), Louisiana Municipals Portfolio (Louisiana Portfolio), Maryland Municipals Portfolio (Maryland Portfolio), Missouri Municipals Portfolio (Missouri Portfolio), North Carolina Municipals Portfolio (North Carolina Portfolio), Oregon Municipals Portfolio (Oregon Portfolio), South Carolina Municipals Portfolio (So uth Carolina Portfolio), Tennessee Municipals Portfolio (Tennessee Portfolio) and Virginia Municipals Portfolio (Virginia Portfolio), respectively, in a complete liquidation of its interest in its corresponding Portfolio. Subsequent to September 24, 2004, each Fund invests directly in securities rather than through its corresponding 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. Financial futures contracts and options on financial 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 norma lly valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a broker. Short-term obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are valued 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 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 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 August 31, 2004, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers

which will reduce 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 the 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 carryovers are as follows:

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 August 31, 2004, Arkansas Fund, Georgia Fund, Kentucky Fund, Louisiana Fund, Maryland Fund, Missouri Fund, Oregon Fund, South Carolina Fund, Tennessee Fund and Virginia Fund had net capital losses of $923,764, $935,874, $797,286, $96,341, $1,012,091, $625,587, $2,081,699, $649,949, $680,309 and $1,301,841, 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 August 31, 2005.
D 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 Funds make 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 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.
E 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 for both hedging against anticipated future changes in interest rates and investment purposes. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
101
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of February 28, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
F 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 i s made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing put options is limited to the premium originally paid.
G 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.
H 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.
I 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.
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 the Funds maintain with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce each Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of operating 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 t he 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 February 28, 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 reflect 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 fina ncial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.

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 Plans) (collectively, the Plans). The Plans requires the Class B shares 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 aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 6) and amounts theretofore paid to EVD by Class B. 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 Class B net assets. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, the Class B shares of the Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Georgia Fund, Kentucky Fund, Louisiana Fund, Maryland Fund, Missouri Fund, North Carolina Fund, Oregon Fund, South Carolina Fund, Tennessee Fund and Virginia Fund paid $72,130, $37,973, $58,791, $58,596, $34,955, $90,355, $48,291, $64,758, $90,248, $70,327, $43,694 and $118,251, respectively, to EVD, representing 0.75% (annualized) of each Fund's Class B average daily net assets. At February 28, 2005, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B Plans for Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Georgia Fund, Kentucky Fund, Louisiana Fund, Maryland Fund, Missou ri Fund, North Carolina Fund, Oregon Fund, South Carolina Fund, Tennessee Fund and Virginia Fund were approximately $1,180,000, $962,000, $1,500,000, $1,143,000, $662,000, $2,976,000, $520,000, $1,497,000, $1,512,000, $1,187,000, $706,000 and $1,217,000, 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% (annualized) 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 paid to EVD and investment dealers 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 February 28, 2005, Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Georgia Fund, Kentucky Fund, Louisiana Fund, Maryland Fund, Missouri Fund, North Carolina Fund, Oregon Fund, South Carolina Fund, Tennessee Fund and Virginia Fund paid or accrued service fees to or payable to EVD in the amount of $40,080, $31,362, $38,474, $47,312, $18,676, $45,566, $47,694, $59,833, $56,410, $37,019, $39,295 and $74,773, respectively, for Class A shares, and $19,235, $10,126, $15,678, $15,626, $9,321, $24,095, $12,878, $17,269, $24,066, $18,754, $11,652 and $31,534, 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 charges received on Class B redemptions ar e paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund's Class B Plan (see Note 5). CDSC charges received on Class B redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist for Class B will be credited to the Fund. EVD received approximately $14,000, $6,000, $11,000, $6,000, $4,000, $26,000, $6,000, $10,000, $30,000, $8,000, $4,000 and $31,000 of CDSC paid by Class B shareholders of Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Georgia Fund, Kentucky Fund, Louisiana Fund, Maryland Fund, Missouri Fund, North Carolina Fund, Oregon Fund, South Carolina Fund, Tennessee Fund and Virginia Fund, respectively, for the six months ended February 28, 2005. EVD received approximately $1,000 of CDSC paid by Class A shareholders of Maryland Fund and no CDSC paid by Class A shareholders of Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Georgia Fund, Kentucky Fund, Louisiana Fund, Missouri Fund, North Carolina Fund, Oregon Fund, South Carolina Fund, Tennessee Fund and Virginia Fund for the six months ended February 28, 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 participating 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. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended February 28, 2005.
10 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 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.
