Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called "householding" and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds' and Portfolios' Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

INVESTMENT UPDATE
The investment objective of each Eaton Vance Municipals Fund (the “Funds”) is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and particular state income taxes or other taxes. The Funds primarily invest in investment-grade municipal obligations.

Economic and Market Conditions
The economy expanded at a 1.6% pace in the fourth quarter of 2005, a decline from the 4.1% rate in the third quarter. Even with a weak finish, the economy generated respectable growth in 2005. Despite high energy prices, rising mortgage rates and a persistent tightening by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), the economy continued to create jobs – 193,000 in January 2006. Recent economic data suggest that the Gulf Coast hurricanes did not have a significant effect on the nation’s overall economy. The economy appeared to be sustaining growth in both the manufacturing and service sectors, with little evidence of inflationary pressures. Moreover, worries about a pickup in inflation have waned recently, as prices for crude oil, gasoline and jet fuel have eased from their previous highs.
Investor sentiment regarding the Fed’s monetary policy appears to have shifted in recent months, as investors have begun to anticipate the end of the Fed’s series of interest rate hikes (which began in June 2004). The improved investor sentiment has likely accounted, in part, for the improved performance of the financial markets in late 2005.
The municipal market continued to be adversely affected by strong primary market supply. Boosted by lower-than anticipatedlong-term interest rates, the municipal market saw record supply in 2005, more than $400 billion in new issuance. Combined with lackluster retail demand, the large supply pressures pushed tax-exempt yields to more attractive levels. At January 31, 2006, long-term AAA-rated insured municipal bonds yielded 96% of U.S. Treasury bonds with similar maturities.*
For the six months ended January 31, 2006, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index† (the “Index”), a broadbased, unmanaged municipal market index, posted amodest gain of 1.33%. For more information about each Fund’s performance and the performance of funds in the same Lipper Classification, on the following page.
Management Discussion
The Funds invest primarily in bonds with maturities of 10 years or longer, as longer-maturity bonds historically have provided greater tax-exempt income for investors than shorter-maturity bonds. Given the flattening of the yield curve for fixed-income securities over the past 18 months — with shorter-maturity yields rising as longer-maturity yields declined slightly — the long end of the curve was an attractive place to be positioned.
During the six months ended January 31, 2006, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates at regular intervals, and commodities prices rose significantly. However, the economy grew at a solid pace, with low to moderate inflation. In this climate, we continued to maintain a somewhat cautious outlook on interest rates and adjusted the Funds’ duration accordingly. Duration measures a bond fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
During the past six months, when prudent, management invested in bonds with attractive coupons and long call protection. These strategies contributed to the Funds’ outperformanceof their respective Lipper state Classification averages over the six-month period. Management also took advantage of narrow credit spreads in an effort to lower the Funds’ exposure to credit risk.
We continued to focus on finding relative value within the marketplace — in issuer names, coupons, maturities and sectors. Relative value trading, which seeks to capitalize on undervalued securities that may have been overlooked, has enhanced the returns of the Funds during the period. Finally, we continued to closely monitor call protection in the Funds. Call protection remains an important strategic consideration for municipal bond investors, especially because refinancing activity has continued to increase over the past six months.
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.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2005 – January 31, 2006).
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 inco me taxes by investing primarily in investment grade municipal obligations. The Arizona Fund, the Colorado Fund, the Connecticut Fund, the Michigan Fund, the Minnesota Fund, the New Jersey Fund and the Pennsylvania Fund offer three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are 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 inco me, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class's paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies 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, and taxable obligations, if any, are normally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. 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 normally 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. Investment s for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available, and investments for which the price of a security is not believed to represent its fair market value, are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B 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, 2005, 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 shareholders which would otherwise be necessa ry 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 July 31, 2005, Arizona Fund, Colorado Fund, Connecticut Fund, Minnesota Fund and Pennsylvania Fund had net capital losses of $1,552,491, $130,465, $191,617, $202,624 and $272,384 respectively, attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2004. These are treated as arising on the first day of each Fund's taxable year ending July 31, 2006.
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 ben efits 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 two rates of interest. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-perfor mance 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 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
58
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
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 balance 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, 2006 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 earning s and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
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:

4 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities). For the six months ended January 31, 2006, the advisory fee allocated from each Fund is as follows:
Portfolio | | Amount | | Effective Rate* | |
Arizona Fund | | $ | 125,176 | | | | 0.33 | % | |
Colorado Fund | | | 30,687 | | | | 0.20 | % | |
Connecticut Fund | | | 245,603 | | | | 0.38 | % | |
Michigan Fund | | | 93,008 | | | | 0.30 | % | |
Minnesota Fund | | | 54,495 | | | | 0.25 | % | |
New Jersey Fund | | | 519,964 | | | | 0.42 | % | |
Pennsylvania Fund | | | 448,375 | | | | 0.42 | % | |
* As a percentage of average daily net assets (annualized).
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, 2006, EVM earned $713, $378, $1,420, $1,052, $676, $916, and $933 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 $8,809, $4,494, $8,752, $4,559, $5,178, $20,231 and $22,950 as its portion of t he 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, 2006.
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, 2006, 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) and Class C shares (Class C 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 and Class C Plans require each Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 1/365 of 0.75% of each Fund's daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C 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 and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD reduced by the aggregate 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 and Class C shares and, accordingly, reduces each Fund's Class B and Class C net assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2006, 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 $58,752, $29,866, $110,910, $30,238, $47,526, $261,581 and $175,540, respectively, to EVD, representing 0.75% of each Fund's Class B average daily net assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2006, the Arizona Fund, Minnesota Fund, New Jersey Fund and Pennsylvania Fund paid or accrued $194, $27, $120, and $6, respectively, to EVD, representing 0.75% (annualized) of the Fund's Class C average daily net assets. At January 31, 2006, 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 $921,000, $869,000, $1,218,000, $28,000, $713,000, $578,000 and $1,648,000, respectively, and approximately $12,000, $4,000 and $13,000 calculated over the Class C Plans for Arizona, Minnesota and New Jersey, 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
62
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
net assets attributable to Class A and Class B, and if applicable, Class C 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, 2006, 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 $59,967, $22,737, $101,298, $53,373, $31,449, $176,468 and $167,469, respectively, for Class A shares, and $15,667, $7,964, $29,576, $8,063, $12,674, $69,755 and $46,698, respectively, for Class B shares, and $49, $7, $32, $2 for Class C shares for the Arizona Fund, the Minnesota Fund, the New Jersey Fund and the Pennsylvania fund, respectively.
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 and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 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. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVD or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be wa ived under certain other limited conditions. CDSC received on Class B redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund's Class B and if applicable, Class C Distribution Plan (see Note 5). CDSC received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to each Fund. EVD received approximately $500, $9,000, $1,000 and $2,000 of CDSC paid by Class A shareholders of Arizona Fund, Connecticut Fund, Michigan Fund and Pennsylvania Fund, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2006. EVD received approximately $44,000, $4,000, $18,000, $11,000, $14,000, $41,000 and $30,000 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, 2006.

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. Borrowings will be made by the portfolios or Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. 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, 2006, the Michigan Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $300,000. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended January 31, 2006.
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, 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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The investment advisory agreements between each of Eaton Vance Arizona Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Colorado Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Connecticut Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Michigan Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Minnesota Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund (collectively the "Funds" and each individually a "Fund"), and the investment adviser, Boston Management and Research, each provide that the advisory agreement will continue in effect from year to year so long as its continuance is approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the noninterested Trustees of the Fund cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval and (ii) by the Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding interests of the Fund.
In considering the annual approval of the investment advisory agreements between the Funds and the investment adviser, the Special Committee of the Board of Trustees considered information that had been provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for a series of meetings held in February and March in preparation for a Board meeting held on March 21, 2005 to specifically consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreements. Such information included, among other things, the following:
• An independent report comparing the advisory fees of each Fund with those of comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing the expense ratio of each Fund to those of comparable funds;
• Information regarding Fund investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;
• The economic outlook and the general investment outlook in relevant investment markets;
• Eaton Vance Management's ("Eaton Vance") results and financial condition and the overall organization of the investment adviser;
• The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of Fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;
• Eaton Vance's management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants;
• The resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by Eaton Vance on behalf of the funds it manages and the record of compliance with the investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions;
• The quality, nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates; and
• The terms of each advisory agreement and the reasonableness and appropriateness of the particular fee paid by each Fund for the services described therein.
The Special Committee also considered the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the investment adviser. In so doing, the Special Committee considered the investment adviser's management capabilities with respect to the types of investments held by each Fund, including information relating to the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide services under the investment advisory agreements. Specifically, the Special Committee considered the investment adviser's 30-person municipal bond team, which includes six portfolio managers and nine credit specialists who provide services to each Fund. The Special Committee noted that the investment adviser's municipal bond team affords the investment adviser extensive in-house research capabilities in addition to the other resources available to the investment adviser. The Special Committee also took into

account the time and attention to be devoted by senior management to the Funds and the other funds in the complex. The Special Committee evaluated the level of skill required to manage each Fund and concluded that the human resources available at the investment adviser were appropriate to fulfill effectively its duties on behalf of each Fund.
In its review of comparative information with respect to each Fund's investment performance, the Special Committee concluded that each Fund has performed within a range that the Special Committee deemed competitive. With respect to its review of investment advisory fees, the Special Committee concluded that the fees paid by each Fund are within the range of those paid by comparable funds within the mutual fund industry. In reviewing the information regarding the expense ratio of each Fund, the Special Committee concluded that each Fund's expense ratio is within a range that is competitive with comparable funds.
In addition to the factors mentioned above, the Special Committee reviewed the level of the investment adviser's profits in providing investment management services for each Fund and for all Eaton Vance funds as a group. The Special Committee also reviewed the benefits to Eaton Vance and its affiliates in providing administration services for the Fund and for all Eaton Vance funds as a group. In addition, the Special Committee considered the fiduciary duty assumed by the investment adviser in connection with the services rendered to each Fund and the business reputation of the investment adviser and its financial resources. The Trustees concluded that in light of the services rendered, the profits realized by the investment adviser are not unreasonable. The Special Committee also considered the extent to which the investment adviser appears to be realizing benefits from economies of scale in managing the Funds, and concluded tha t the fee breakpoints which are in place will allow for an equitable sharing of such benefits, when realized, with the shareholders of the Funds.
The Special Committee did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to renew the investment advisory agreements. Nor are the items described herein all the matters considered by the Special Committee. In assessing the information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates, the Special Committee also took into consideration the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds which provides a large variety of shareholder services.
Based on its consideration of the foregoing factors and conclusions, and such other factors and conclusions as it deemed relevant, and assisted by independent counsel, the Special Committee concluded that the renewal of the investment advisory agreements, including the fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders.
