IMPORTANT NOTICES REGARDING PRIVACY,
DELIVERY OF SHAREHOLDER DOCUMENTS,
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS, AND PROXY VOTING
Privacy. The Eaton Vance organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy ("Privacy Policy") with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
• 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.

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, 2007 – January 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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
Economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2007 measured 0.6%, following the 4.9% growth rate achieved in the third quarter, according to preliminary Commerce Department data reported in January 2008. At January 31, 2008, the housing sector continued to struggle due to market concerns related to subprime mortgages. While the weaker dollar was having a beneficial effect on export-related industries, tourism, and U.S.-based multinational companies, there were signs that consumers were starting to curtail spending by January 31, 2008.
The Federal Reserve (the Fed) lowered its target for the Federal Funds Rate by 0.75% to 3.50% in an unscheduled meeting on January 22, 2008. In its statement, the Fed pointed to a weakening economic outlook, continued deterioration in broader financial market conditions and tighter credit for some businesses and households. They further lowered the Federal Funds Rate to 3.00% in a scheduled meeting on January 31, 2008 noting considerable financial market stress and continued credit tightening. The Fed has now lowered its benchmark Federal Funds Rate by 2.25% (from 5.25%) since September 18, 2007. It has also cut the Discount Rate – the rate charged to banks borrowing directly from the Fed – by 2.75% from 6.25% to 3.50% since August 17, 2007. Management believes these moves were aimed at providing liquidity during this period of increased uncertainty and tighter credit conditions that first surfaced in August 2007.
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.
The Funds underperformed their benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, during the six months ended January 31, 2008.(1) Management believes that much of the underperformance can be attributed to the broader-based credit scare that has shaken the fixed-income markets since August 2007, and led to a flight-to-quality bid in the Treasury market, particularly in shorter-maturity bonds. This move was originally driven by uncertainty surrounding financial companies’ exposure to mortgage-backed collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). More recently, the municipal bond market has been impacted by the downgrade of major municipal bond insurers due to their exposure to mortgage-related CDO debt. As a result of an active management style that focuses on income and longer call protection, the Funds generally hold longer-duration bonds. Accordingly, management believes that investor flight to shorter-maturity uninsured bonds from longer-maturity insured bonds resulted in the Funds’ relative underperformance for the period.
The ratio of yields on current coupon AAA-rated insured bonds to the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds was 105% as of January 31, 2008, with many individual bonds trading higher than 105%.(2) Management believes that this was the result of dislocation in the fixed-income marketplace caused by the subprime contagion fears, insurance companies’ mark-to-market risks and the decentralized nature of the municipal marketplace. Historically, this is a rare occurrence in the municipal bond market and is generally considered a signal that municipal bonds are significantly undervalued compared to Treasuries.
With this backdrop, Eaton Vance continues to manage all of its municipal funds with the same relative value approach that it has traditionally employed – maintaining a long-term perspective when markets exhibit extreme short-term volatility. We believe this approach has provided excellent long-term benefits to our investors over time.

Based on risk-adjusted returns. Eaton Vance offers other mutual funds that are not listed here and that do not have similar performance records.
The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics.
©2008 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers is responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on how a fund ranks on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure against other funds in the same category. This measure takes into account variations in a fund’s monthly performance after adjusting for sales loads (except for load-waived A shares), redemption fees, and the risk-free rate, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars; the next 22.5% receive 4 stars; the next 35% receive 3 stars; the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.
Load-waived A share star ratings do not include any front-end sales load and are intended for those investors who have access to such purchase terms (e.g., plan participants of a defined contribution plan). Not all A share mutual funds for which Morningstar calculates a load-waived A share star rating may actually waive their front-end load. Therefore, Morningstar strongly encourages investors to contact their investment professional to determine whether they are eligible to purchase the A share without paying the front-end load. The Morningstar Rating may differ among share classes of a mutual fund as a result of different sales loads and/or expense structure.
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities is likely to decrease. Fluctuations in the value of securities may not affect interest income on existing securities, but will be reflected in the Funds’ net asset values. For state municipal funds, a portion of income may be subject to federal, state and local tax; a portion may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for more information. Consult your tax/legal advisor before making any tax-related investment decisions.
For information regarding each Fund’s performance, please refer to pages titled “Performance Information and Portfolio Composition” contained in this report.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year.
(2) Includes interest expense of 0.22% 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, and as a result net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense.
(3) The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value.
(4) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 37.95% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures.
(5) The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.
(6) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The 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 Arizona Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 33, 33, 28 and 23 funds for the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year time periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.
(8) Rating Distribution is determined by dividing the total market value of the issues by the total investments of the 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 charges (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 Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year.
(2) Includes interest expense of 0.20% 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, and as a result net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense.
(3) The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value.
(4) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 40.10% 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 Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 47, 47, 40 and 33 funds for the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year time periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.
(8) Rating Distribution is determined by dividing the total market value of the issues by the total investments of the Fund.
(9) Portfolio holdings information excludes securities held by special purpose vehicles in which the Fund holds a residual interest.

The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Connecticut 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 January 31, 2008, 59.6% 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 1.3% to 18.7% of total investments.
(1) Security represents the underlying municipal obligation of an inverse floating rate obligation held by the Fund.
(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 January 31, 2008, the aggregate value of the securities is $428,491 or 0.3% of the Fund's net assets.
(3) Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at January 31, 2008.
(4) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Pennsylvania 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 January 31, 2008, 65.9% 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 0.3% to 24.6% of total investments.
(1) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.
(2) Security represents the underlying municipal obligation of an inverse floating rate obligation held by the Fund.
(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 January 31, 2008, the aggregate value of the securities is $4,040,058 or 1.4% of the Fund's net assets.
(4) Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at January 31, 2008.
(5) Security is in default with respect to scheduled principal payments.
(6) Variable rate demand obligation. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at January 31, 2008.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of twenty-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 Municip als Fund (New Jersey Fund) and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipals Fund (Pennsylvania Fund), each individually referred to as, the Fund, and collectively, the Funds. The Funds seek to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes. The Michigan Fund offers two classes of shares. Each of the other funds offers 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 generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). 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 t he relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class's paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation — Municipal bonds and taxable obligations, if any, are generally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Interest rate swaps are generally 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 market value. Investments 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 directi on of the Trustees.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, ma y be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At July 31, 2007, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward which will reduce each Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards are as follows:
Fund | | Amount | | Expiration Date | |
Arizona | | $ | 522,797 | | | July 31, 2009 | |
|
| | | 536,449 | | | July 31, 2010 | |

The Minnesota Fund had net losses of $298,217 attributable to investment transactions incurred after October 31, 2006. These capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's taxable year ending July 31, 2008.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
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 on the last business day of the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has concluded that as of January 31, 2008, there are no uncertain tax positions that wou ld require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Funds' federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended January 31, 2008 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Funds may invest in inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Fund may sell a fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time, the Fund buys a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), set up by the broker, often referred to as an inverse floating rate obligation (Inverse Floater). The broker deposits a fixed rate bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the fixed rate bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the fixed rate bond purchased from the Fund (the Fixed Rate Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The 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 the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption "Payable for floating rate notes issued" in their Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. Interest expense related to the Funds' liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. At January 31, 2008, the amounts of the
69
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2008
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
Funds' Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
Fund | | Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | Interest Rate or Range of Interest Rates | | Collateral for Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | |
Arizona | | $ | 5,285,000 | | | | 2.23 – 3.90 | % | | $ | 8,116,579 | | |
Colorado | | | 270,000 | | | | 2.23 – 2.30 | | | | 449,962 | | |
Connecticut | | | 10,795,000 | | | | 2.23 – 3.90 | | | | 17,184,010 | | |
Michigan | | | 3,000,000 | | | | 2.20 – 2.38 | | | | 4,124,110 | | |
Minnesota | | | 2,500,000 | | | | 2.20 – 2.38 | | | | 4,664,130 | | |
New Jersey | | | 21,120,000 | | | | 2.23 – 5.51 | | | | 32,757,501 | | |
Pennsylvania | | | 40,535,000 | | | | 2.20 – 5.50 | | | | 62,335,617 | | |
The Funds' investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in Inverse Floaters. Inverse floating rate securities typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. 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 a legal borrowing of the Funds to which the policies apply. Inverse Floaters held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
J Financial Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into financial futures contracts. The Funds' investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contract s. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. In entering such contracts, the Fund bears the risk if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
K 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, a Fund makes periodic payments at a fixed interest rate and, in exchange, receives payments based on the interest rate of a benchmark industry index. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. A Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by t he swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates.
L When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
M Statement of Cash Flows — The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of a Fund is the amount included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
N Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to January 31, 2008 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 of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards, if any), are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only
70
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2008
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) and is payable monthly. For the six months ended January 31, 2008, advisory fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
Fund | | Investment Adviser Fee | | Effective Annual Rate | |
Arizona | | $ | 192,263 | | | | 0.36 | % | |
Colorado | | | 48,302 | | | | 0.23 | % | |
Connecticut | | | 260,761 | | | | 0.38 | % | |
Michigan | | | 106,236 | | | | 0.31 | % | |
Minnesota | | | 120,592 | | | | 0.32 | % | |
New Jersey | | | 687,659 | | | | 0.43 | % | |
Pennsylvania | | | 623,917 | | | | 0.42 | % | |
EVM serves as administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of each Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), the Funds' principal underwriter and a subsidiary of EVM, receives a portion of the sales charges on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also receives distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5). Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the six months ended January 31, 2008 were as follows:
Fund | | EVM's Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | | EVD's Class A Sales Charges | |
Arizona | | $ | 897 | | | $ | 9,133 | | |
Colorado | | | 473 | | | | 3,327 | | |
Connecticut | | | 1,688 | | | | 3,910 | | |
Michigan | | | 980 | | | | 1,841 | | |
Minnesota | | | 900 | | | | 5,480 | | |
New Jersey | | | 3,714 | | | | 13,072 | | |
Pennsylvania | | | 3,953 | | | | 20,606 | | |
Except for Trustees of the Funds who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment advisory fee. Trustees of the Funds who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended January 31, 2008, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that each Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to each Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.20% per annum of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the six months ended January 31, 2008 for Class A shares amounted to the following:
Fund | | Class A Distribution and Service Fees | |
Arizona | | $ | 91,564 | | |
Colorado | | | 36,638 | | |
Connecticut | | | 115,922 | | |
Michigan | | | 63,927 | | |
Minnesota | | | 61,695 | | |
New Jersey | | | 253,622 | | |
Pennsylvania | | | 238,263 | | |
Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require each Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Funds. Each Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by each Fund for C lass B
71
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2008
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. Such payments were discontinued during portions of the six months ended January 31, 2008 with respect to Class B of the New Jersey Fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees, each representing 0.75% per annum (0.52% for Class B of the New Jersey Fund) of the average daily net assets of each Fund's Class B and Class C shares:
Fund | | Class B Distribution Fees | | Class C Distribution Fees | |
Arizona | | $ | 32,050 | | | $ | 26,163 | | |
Colorado | | | 19,068 | | | | 2 | | |
Connecticut | | | 64,263 | | | | 14,037 | | |
Michigan | | | — | | | | 13,763 | | |
Minnesota | | | 28,539 | | | | 19,799 | | |
New Jersey | | | 116,812 | | | | 89,065 | | |
Pennsylvania | | | 128,202 | | | | 87,056 | | |
At January 31, 2008, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately as follows:
Fund | | Class B | | Class C | |
Arizona | | $ | 898,000 | | | $ | 530,000 | | |
Colorado | | | 935,000 | | | | — | | |
Connecticut | | | 1,086,000 | | | | 245,000 | | |
Michigan | | | — | | | | 255,000 | | |
Minnesota | | | 692,000 | | | | 379,000 | | |
New Jersey | | | 2,000 | | | | 1,843,000 | | |
Pennsylvania | | | 1,406,000 | | | | 1,560,000 | | |
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to EVD, investment dealers and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to that Class. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.20% per annum of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the Class B and Class C sales commissions and distribution fees and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended January 31, 2008 amounted to the following:
Fund | | Class B Service Fees | | Class C Service Fees | |
Arizona | | $ | 8,547 | | | $ | 6,977 | | |
Colorado | | | 5,085 | | | | 1 | | |
Connecticut | | | 17,137 | | | | 3,743 | | |
Michigan | | | — | | | | 3,670 | | |
Minnesota | | | 7,610 | | | | 5,280 | | |
New Jersey | | | 44,966 | | | | 23,751 | | |
Pennsylvania | | | 34,187 | | | | 23,215 | | |
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase) 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 CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redee med within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund's Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to each Fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Funds were informed that EVD
72

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
received approximately the following amounts of CDSC paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders:

9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $200 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.07% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended January 31, 2008.
10 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 may include financial futures contracts and interest rate swaps and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment a Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at January 31, 2008 is as follows:

Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2008
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
At January 31, 2008, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
11 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of January 31, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a "Board") of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the "Eaton Vance Funds") held on April 23, 2007, 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, March and April 2007. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
• An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing each fund's total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
• Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;
• Comparative information concerning fees charged by each adviser for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the fund;
• Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management
• Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed;
• 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;
• Copies of or descriptions of each adviser's proxy voting policies and procedures;
• 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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT'D
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 April 30, 2007, the Board met eleven times and the Special Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met thirteen , fourteen and nine 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 six 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 rec ruit 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
80
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT'D
is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective investment advisory 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, 2006 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, including any administrative fee rates, payable by each Fund (referred to as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered each Fund's management fees and total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2006, 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.
