• Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions.
• None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer's account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker/dealers.
• Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information.
• We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com.
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc.
In addition, our Privacy Policy only applies to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer's account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/ broker-dealer, it is likely that only such adviser's privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures.
For more information about Eaton Vance's Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called "householding" and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio (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. This description is also available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

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 from particular state or local income or other taxes. The Funds primarily invest in investment-grade municipal obligations, but may also invest in lower-rated obligations.
Economic and Market Conditions
Fourth quarter economic growth rose to 2.2%, according to preliminary data, following the 2.0% growth rate achieved in the third quarter. With higher mortgage rates in the market, led largely by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) tightening through the second quarter of 2006, the housing market continued to soften, with building permits and existing home sales leading the way. However, energy prices declined significantly in the quarter, somewhat offsetting the impact of a weakening housing market. The economy continued to create jobs over the period, with the unemployment rate standing at 4.5% as of February 28, 2007.
Inflation expectations moderated with the lower energy prices, although the core Consumer Price Index – measured on a year-over-year basis – has demonstrated a slow but steady rise. The Fed, which raised short-term rates 17 times since June 2004, is currently in a pausing mode, awaiting further economic inputs to determine the future direction of interest rate moves. At February 28, 2007, the Federal Funds rate stood at 5.25%.
Municipal market supply rose significantly in the final three months of the period ended February 28, 2007. As a result, municipals modestly underperformed Treasury bonds for the six months ended February 28, 2007.At February 28, 2007, long-term AAA-rated, insured municipal bonds yielded 96% of U.S. Treasury bonds with similar maturities.*
For the six months ended February 28, 2007, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index† (the “Index”), an unmanaged index of municipal bonds, posted a gain of 2.89%. For more information about each Fund’s performance and that of funds in the same Lipper Classification, † see the Performance Information and Portfolio Composition pages that follow.
Management Discussion
The Funds invest primarily in bonds with stated maturities of 10 years or longer, as longer-maturity bonds historically have provided greater tax-exempt income for investors than shorter-maturity bonds. Given the flattening of the yield curve for other fixed-income securities over the past 18 months — with shorter-maturity yields rising more than longer-maturity yields — management felt that the long end of the municipal yield curve was a relatively attractive place to be positioned.
Because of the mixed economic backdrop of contained inflation expectations, a weakened housing market and sustained growth in the labor market, Fund management continued to maintain a somewhat cautious outlook on interest rates. In this environment, Fund management continued to focus on finding relative value within the marketplace – in issuer names, coupons, maturities, sectors and jurisdictions. Relative value trading, which seeks to capitalize on undervalued securities, has enhanced the Funds’ returns during the period.
* Source: Bloomberg L.P. Yields are a compilation of a representative variety of general obligations and are not necessarily representative of a Fund’s yield.
† It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or Lipper Classification. 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.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC returns for Class B shares reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC return for Class C shares reflects a 1% CDSC for the first year.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC returns for Class B shares reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC return for Class C shares reflects a 1% CDSC for the first year.
(2) Includes expense interest of 0.27% relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with inverse floater securities transactions by the Fund.

(4) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 38.90% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures.
(5) The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.
(6) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The 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. Index performance is available as of month end only.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC returns for Class B shares reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC return for Class C shares reflects a 1% CDSC for the first year.
(2) Includes expense interest of 0.19% relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with inverse floater securities transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income relating to the municipal obligation underlying such transactions.
(3) The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value.
(4) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 38.90% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures.
(5) The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.
(6) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The 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. Index performance is available as of month end only.
(7) The Lipper Averages are the average annual total returns, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. It is not possible to invest in a Lipper Classification. Lipper Classifications may include insured and uninsured funds, as well as leveraged and unleveraged funds. The Lipper Tennessee Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 14, 10, 10 and 10 funds for the six-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.
(8) As of 2/28/07. Rating Distribution is determined by dividing the total market value of the issues by the total investments of the Fund.
(9) As of 2/28/07. Portfolio holdings information includes securities held by special purpose vehicles in which the Fund holds a residual interest. See Note 1B to the Fund’s financial statements.

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 (September 1, 2006 – February 28, 2007).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Alabama municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at February 28, 2007, 76.3% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 11.3% to 28.0% of total investments.
(1) Security represents the underlying municipal obligation of an inverse floating rate obligation held by the Fund.
(2) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.
(3) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At February 28, 2007, the aggregate value of the securities is $830,172 or 1.4% of the net assets.
(4) Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at February 28, 2007.
(5) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover when-issued securities.
(6) When-issued security.

The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Louisiana municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at February 28, 2007, 72.8% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 6.4% to 26.4% of total investments.
(1) Security represents the underlying municipal obligation of an inverse floating rate obligation held by the Fund.
(2) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.
(3) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At February 28, 2007, the aggregate value of the securities is $758,813 or 2.0% of the net assets.
(4) Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at February 28, 2007.
(5) Security is subject to a shortfall agreement which may require the Fund to pay amounts to a counterparty in the event of a significant decline in the market value of the security.

(2) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At February 28, 2007, the aggregate value of the securities is $1,185,960 or 0.9% of the net assets.
(3) Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at February 28, 2007.

(2) The Fund, through its investment in the Portfolio, has adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began using the interest method to amortize premiums on fixed-income securities. The effect of this change for the year ended August 31, 2002 was to increase net investment income per share by $0.001, increase net realized and unrealized loss per share by $0.001 and increase the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 4.82% to 4.83%.
(3) Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value with all distributions reinvested. Total return is not computed on an annualized basis. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.
(4) Interest and fee expense relates to the liability for floating rate notes issued in conjunction with inverse floater securities transactions (See Note 1B).
(5) Annualized.
(6) Includes the Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated expenses while the Fund was making investments directly into the Portfolio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
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 Municipals Fund (South Carolina Fund), Eat on Vance Tennessee Municipals Fund (Tennessee Fund) and Eaton Vance Virginia Municipals Fund (Virginia Fund), individually, the Fund, collectively, the Funds. The Funds seek to achieve current income exempt from regular federal income tax and particular state or local income taxes by investing primarily in investment grade municipal obligations. The Louisiana Fund offers two classes of shares. The Alabama Fund, the Arkansas Fund, the Georgia Fund, the Kentucky Fund, the Maryland Fund, the Missouri Fund, the North Carolina Fund, the Oregon Fund, the South Carolina Fund, the Tennessee Fund, and the Virginia 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 t heir purchase as described in each Fund's prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class' 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, the Arkansas Fund, the Georgia Fund, the Kentucky Fund, the Louisiana Fund, the Maryland Fund, the Missouri Fund, the North Carolina Fund, the Oregon Fund, the South Carolina Fund, the Tennessee Fund, and the Virginia Fund received its pro rata share of cash and securities from the Alabama Municipals Portfolio (Alabama Portfolio), the Arkansas Municipals Portfolio (Arkansas Portfolio), the Georgia Municipals Portfolio (Georgia Portfolio), the Kentucky Municipals Portfolio (Kentucky Portfolio), the Louisiana Municipals Portfolio (Louisiana Portfolio), the Maryland Municipals Portfolio (Maryland Portfolio), the Missouri Municipals Portfolio (Missouri Portfolio), the North Carolina Municipals Portfolio (North Carolina Portfolio), the Oregon Municipals Portfolio (Oregon Portfolio), the South Carolina Municipals Portfolio (South Carolina Portfolio), the Tennessee Municipals Portfolio (Tennesse e Portfolio), and the 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 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 pricing service. 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 not readily avai lable, and investments for which the price of the security is not believed to represent it's fair market value, are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Funds sell a fixed-rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time the Funds buy a residual interest in a Special Purpose Vehicle (which is generally organized as a trust) (the "SPV")
104

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
assets and cash flows set up by the broker, often referred to as an inverse floating rate obligation ("Inverse Floater"). The broker deposits a fixed-rate bond into the trust with the same CUSIP number as the fixed-rate bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the fixed-rate bond purchased from the Fund, (the "Fixed-Rate Bond"). The SPV also issues floating-rate notes ("Floating Rate Notes") which are sold to third-parties. The Funds may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the broker by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the Fixed-Rate Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Fixed-Rate Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby collapsing the SPV. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" ("FAS 140"), the Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed-Rate Bond in their Portfolio of Investments, and accounts for the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption "payable for floating rate notes issued" in the Funds' "Statement of Assets and Liabilities". The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. At February 28, 2007, the Funds' investments were as follows:
Fund | | Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | Interest Rate or Range of Interest Rates | | Collateral for Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | |
Alabama Fund | | | 2,640,000 | | | | 3.64 | %–3.70% | | | 4,252,208 | | |
Arkansas Fund | | | 3,365,000 | | | | 3.64 | %–3.65% | | | 5,895,547 | | |

Virginia Fund | | | 16,970,000 | | | | 3.64 | %–3.70% | | | 28,183,403 | | |
The Funds' investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in inverse floating rate securities. Inverse floating rate securities typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. The Funds' investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money for purposes of making investments. Management believes that the Funds' restrictions on borrowings do not apply to the secured borrowings deemed to have occurred for accounting purposes pursuant to FAS 140, which is distinct from legal borrowing of the Funds to which the restrictions apply. Inverse Floaters held by the Funds are Securities exempt from registration under Rules 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
C Income — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
D Interest Expense — Interest expense relates to the Funds' liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with inverse floater securities transactions by the Funds. Interest expense is recorded as incurred.
E 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, 2006, 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 the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be n ecessary 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, 2006, the Georgia Fund and the North Carolina Fund had net capital losses of $656,388 and $448,505 respectively, attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2005. These net capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of each fund's taxable year ending August 31, 2007.
F 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.
G 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.
H 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.
I 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-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.
J 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.
K 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
L Expense Reduction — Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances, if any, are used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees and are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
M 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.
N 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 Trust, 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.
O Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
P Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to February 28, 2007 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
Each Fund's 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:

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) or a 1% or 0.50% CDSC if redeemed within one year or two years, respectively, on purchases through the Eaton Vance Supplemental Retirement Account. Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital 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 EV D or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSC received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund's Class B and, if applicable, Class C 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 $300, and $5,000 of CDSC paid by Class A shareholders of Louisiana Fund and Oregon Fund, respectively, for the six months ended February 28, 2007. EVD received approximately $4,000, $11,000, $4,000, $5,000, $100, $14,000, $7,000, $4,000, $16,000, $32,000, $4,000 and $5,000 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, 2007.

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 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. At February 28, 2007, the Kentucky Fund, the North Carolina Fund, the South Carolina Fund, and the Virginia Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $300,000, $500,000, $600,000 and $300,000 respectively. The Funds did not have any significant borrowin gs or allocated fees during the six months ended February 28, 2007.
10 Overdraft Advances
Pursuant to the custodian agreement between the Funds and IBT, IBT may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Funds to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft by the Funds, the Funds are obligated to repay IBT at the current rate of interest charged by IBT for secured loans (currently, a rate above the Federal Funds rate). This obligation is payable on demand to IBT. IBT has a lien on the Funds' assets to the extent of any overdraft. At February 28, 2007, the North Carolina Fund and Virginia Fund had payments due to IBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement of $1,927 and $56,100.
11 Financial Instruments
The Funds may 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 financial futures contracts, options on financial futures contracts and interest rate swaps and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment a Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
A summary of obligations held under these financial instruments at February 28, 2007, is as follows:

12 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ("FIN 48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective during the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, ("FAS 157") "Fair Value Measurements". FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("Independent Trustees") cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a "Board") of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the "Eaton Vance Funds") held on March 27, 2006, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Special Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Special Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Special Committee held in February and March 2006. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
• An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing each fund's total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
• Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;
• Comparative information concerning fees charged by each adviser for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the fund;
• Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund managed by it;
Information about Portfolio Management
• Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed;
• Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through "soft dollar" benefits received in connection with the funds' brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds;
• Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;
• The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;
Information about each Adviser
• Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser;
• Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
• Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes;
• Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions;
• Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates;
Other Relevant Information
• Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates;
• Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds' administrator; and
• The terms of each advisory agreement.
In addition to the information identified above, the Special Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve month period ended March 31,
119
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT'D
2006, the Board met nine times and the Special Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met eight, twelve and five times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund's investment objective.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund's investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Special Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Special Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Special Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Special Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreements of the following funds:
• Eaton Vance Arizona Municipals Fund
• Eaton Vance Colorado Municipals Fund
• Eaton Vance Connecticut Municipals Fund
• Eaton Vance Michigan Municipals Fund
• Eaton Vance Minnesota Municipals Fund
• Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipals Fund
• Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund
(the "Funds"), each with Boston Management and Research (the "Adviser"), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Special Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Special Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the advisory agreement for each Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Funds, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser's management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Funds, and recent changes in the identity of such personnel. In particular, the Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to investing in municipal bonds. Specifically, the Board considered the Adviser's 30-person municipal bond team, which includes seven portfolio managers and nine credit specialists who provide services to the Funds. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation paid to r ecruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Fund in the complex by senior management.
The Board reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers.
The Board also considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT'D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective investment advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared each Fund's investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2005 for each Fund in operation over such periods. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of each Fund is satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by each Fund (referred to as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered each Fund's management fees and total expense ratio for the one year period ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the management fees charged for advisory and related services and the Fund's total expense ratio are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to each Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their relationship with the Funds.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability of each Fund, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and each Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of each Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of each Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Advis er and its affiliates and each Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of each Fund, the structure of each advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.
