Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
In the early months of the period, investors appeared to worry about intensifying debt problems in Europe, high U.S. unemployment, and a stagnant housing market and the lingering Congressional deadlock that left businesses perplexed about the direction of tax and regulatory policy. The S&P 500 Index,2 which had fallen sharply in the late summer of 2011, continued to drift down through November of 2011.
Beginning in mid-December of 2011, however, an equity rally took hold and continued into early April 2012, fueled by stronger economic growth in the fourth quarter, falling unemployment, and what the markets perceived as a successful restructuring of Greek debt. Then in May 2012, the third annual mid-year economic slowdown arrived, instigated by renewed concerns in Europe, slowing growth in China, and continuing political uncertainty in the United States with the upcoming presidential election. Despite a slowdown in consumer spending and weakening employment data, however, stocks moved upward intermittently from June through the end of the period — in part because investors anticipated that worsening economic news would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) to initiate another round of quantitative easing to stimulate the economy. This also drove U.S. Treasury yields to all time lows in July 2012. The Fed proved the markets right when it initiated a new, open-ended round of quantitative easing just weeks before period-end.
Against this backdrop, municipal bonds rallied during the one-year period ending September 30, 2012, led by the long end of the yield curve. The Funds’ primary benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the Index) — an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the United States — returned 8.32% for the period, while the Barclays Capital Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index returned 12.21%. As yields on high quality bonds fell, investors moved out on the yield curve, buying longer maturity municipal bonds to potentially take advantage of higher yields. In their quest for income during a period of historically low interest rates, investors also favored lower quality, higher yielding issues over higher quality bonds. As a result, longer duration, lower credit quality bonds were the best performers in the municipals space during the period.
Municipal bonds offered higher taxable-equivalent yields than Treasuries during the period. The ratio of 30-year
AAA7 municipal yields to 30-year Treasury yields — which historically has averaged less than 100% because municipal yields are federally tax-exempt — began the period at 122.4%, making municipal bonds very attractive relative to Treasuries. Investor recognition of this anomaly was likely the main factor that drove the ratio down to 101.6% by period-end, and the increased interest in municipal bonds caused them to outperform Treasuries for the one-year period ending September 30, 2012.
Fund Performance
For the 9-month fiscal period ending September 30, 2012, Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) had a total return of 12.06%, outperforming the 6.06% return of the Index during the same 9-month period. Meanwhile, for the 12-month fiscal period ending September 30, 2012, Eaton Vance National Municipal Income Fund Class A shares at NAV had a total return of 14.42%, outperforming the 8.32% return of the Index during the same period.
The Funds’ overall strategy is to invest primarily in bonds with maturities of ten years or more, in order to capture their generally higher yields and greater income payments at the long end of the yield curve. Management tends to hedge to various degrees against the greater potential risk of volatility at the long end of the yield curve by shorting Treasury futures in seeking to provide downside protection. Hedging is a risk management strategy intended to moderate both upside and downside performance.
The Funds’ overweighting in longer maturity bonds, during a period when yield-hungry investors favored longer maturity, longer duration bonds, was a primary contributor to the Funds’ performance versus the Index. In addition, the Funds were overweighted in zero-coupon bonds, which were the strongest performing coupon structure during each Fund’s respective fiscal period. Security selection and an overweighting in bonds rated BBB and below aided the Funds’ relative performance versus the Index as well.
Leveraged6 investments also helped results versus the Index. Management holds leveraged investments in seeking to enhance the Funds’ tax-exempt income. The use of leveraged investments has the effect of achieving additional exposure to the municipal market and magnifies a Fund’s exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down markets. As a result, leveraged investments aided

relative performance versus the Index because municipal bonds delivered strong performance during the both the nine-month and twelve-month fiscal periods.
Fund-specific Results
Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV had a total return of 12.06%, outpacing the 6.06% return of the Index. As previously mentioned, drivers of outperformance versus the Index included an overweighting in bonds with maturities of 20 years or more and in zero-coupon bonds. An overweighting and security selection in bonds rated BBB also contributed to performance. Finally, exposure to leveraged investments helped results versus the Index. Detractors from performance versus the Index included an underweight in lease and appropriation backed bonds, which was the Fund’s best performing sector. Also, as intended, the Fund’s Treasury hedge detracted from results versus the Index during its 9-month fiscal period.

1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of large-cap stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays Capital Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities of 22 years or more. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
4 | Total annual operating expense ratios are as stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus. Net expense ratio excludes interest expense relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with residual interest bond transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income in an amount equal to this expense relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be composed of ordinary income, tax-exempt income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
6 | Fund employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes. Floating Rate Notes reflect the effect of RIBs purchased in secondary market transactions, if applicable. |
7 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. Credit ratings are based largely on the rating agency’s investment analysis at the time of rating and the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. Ratings of BBB or higher by Standard and Poor’s or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment grade quality. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, 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 and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing 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 (April 1, 2012 – September 30, 2012).
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 Fund return. 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 be higher.

The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 0.2% to 6.6% of total investments.

At September 30, 2012, the concentration of the Fund’s investments in the various states, determined as a percentage of net assets, is as follows:
| | | | |
New York | | | 20.7% | |
Texas | | | 18.4% | |
California | | | 17.0% | |
Florida | | | 10.7% | |
Others, representing less than 10% individually | | | 46.7% | |
The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by 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 September 30, 2012, 19.2% 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 less than 0.1% to 6.7% of total investments.
| (2) | Security represents the municipal bond held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds (see Note 1I). |
| (3) | When-issued security. |
| (4) | Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged as collateral for residual interest bond transactions. The aggregate value of such collateral is $85,925,511. |
| (5) | Amount is less than 0.05%. |
| (6) | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At September 30, 2012, the aggregate value of these securities is $52,236,904 or 1.0% of the Fund’s net assets. |
| (7) | 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 held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Fund could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $27,760,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond. |
| (8) | Security has been issued as a leveraged residual interest bond with a variable interest rate. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at September 30, 2012. |
| (9) | Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover payable for when-issued securities. |
(10) | Security is in default and making only partial interest payments. |
(11) | Build America Bond. Represents taxable municipal obligation issued pursuant to the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or other legislation providing for the issuance of taxable municipal debt on which the issuer receives federal support. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund (AMT-Free Fund) and Eaton Vance National Municipal Income Fund (National Fund) (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds) are a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Eaton Vance Municipals Trust, respectively (collectively, the Trusts). The Trusts are Massachusetts business trusts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as open-end management investment companies. The Funds seek to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Funds offer four 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 I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares of each Fund automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in each Fund’s prospectus. Beginning January 1, 2012, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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 — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of a Fund in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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 non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. For National Fund, 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.
At September 30, 2012, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards and current year deferred capital losses which will reduce the respective 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 current year deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year and are

treated as realized prior to the utilization of the capital loss carryforward. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards and the amounts of the current year deferred capital losses are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Expiration Date | | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |

September 30, 2019 | | | — | | | | 56,374,590 | |
| | |
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 104,311,836 | | | $ | 916,357,515 | |
| | |
Current year deferred capital losses | | $ | 38,745,826 | | | $ | 364,347,602 | |
Included in the amounts above for National Fund is a capital loss carryforward of $18,487,169 as a result of reorganizations on November 5, 2010 and September 23, 2011 (see Note 12). Utilization of this capital loss carryforward may be limited in accordance with certain income tax regulations.
As of September 30, 2012, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trusts 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 custodian agreement, 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 each 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. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as a Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, each Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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 residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Fund may sell a variable or 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. The broker deposits a bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the 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. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at September 30, 2012. Interest expense related to the Funds’ liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At September 30, 2012, the amounts of the Funds’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 66,350,000 | | | $ | 733,713,000 | |
Interest Rate or Range of Interest Rates (%) | | | 0.18 - 0.25 | | | | 0.19 - 0.38 | |
Collateral for Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 108,422,877 | | | $ | 1,137,321,437 | |
The Funds’ average Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average annual interest rate including fees were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | | | Year Ended September 30, 2012 | |
| | | |
Average Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 65,285,164 | | | $ | 69,175,699 | | | $ | 710,290,623 | |
Average Interest Rate | | | 0.77 | % | | | 0.79 | % | | | 0.78 | % |
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 Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Funds had no shortfalls as of September 30, 2012.
The Funds may also purchase residual interest bonds from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Funds’ investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Funds’ restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Funds’ restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
J Financial Futures Contracts — 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 contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
K 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

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
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.
L 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 the cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
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 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. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for AMT-Free Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
| | | |
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 14,879,965 | | | $ | 23,022,757 | | | $ | 33,984,168 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 56,045 | | | $ | 39,547 | | | $ | 87,673 | |
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 for National Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended September 30, | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | |
| | |
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 225,587,022 | | | $ | 271,004,962 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 6,138,510 | | | $ | 1,621,744 | |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for AMT-Free Fund and the year ended September 30, 2012 for National Fund, the following amounts were reclassified due to expired capital loss carryfowards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount.
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Change in: | | | | | | | | |
Paid-in capital | | $ | (4,273,717 | ) | | $ | (4,550,028 | ) |
Accumulated net realized loss | | $ | 4,335,410 | | | $ | 4,383,201 | |
Accumulated undistributed net investment income | | $ | (61,693 | ) | | $ | 166,827 | |
These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.

As of September 30, 2012, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | $ | 1,791,221 | | | $ | 14,349,589 | |
Capital loss carryforward and deferred capital losses | | $ | (143,057,662 | ) | | $ | (1,280,705,117 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 65,761,895 | | | $ | 531,400,393 | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (325,288 | ) | | $ | (4,034,167 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, residual interest bonds, futures contracts, accretion of market discount, defaulted bond interest, expenditures on defaulted bonds and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) for AMT-Free Fund and Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, for National Fund 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) as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
| | | | | | | | |
Daily Net Assets | | Annual Asset Rate | | | Daily Income Rate | |
| | |
Up to $500 million | | | 0.300 | % | | | 3.00 | % |
$500 million up to $1billion | | | 0.275 | | | | 2.75 | |
$1 billion up to $1.5 billion | | | 0.250 | | | | 2.50 | |
$1.5 billion up to $2 billion | | | 0.225 | | | | 2.25 | |
$2 billion up to $3 billion | | | 0.200 | | | | 2.00 | |
$3 billion and over | | | 0.175 | | | | 1.75 | |
The investment adviser fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | | | Year Ended September 30, 2012 | |

Effective Annual Rate | | | 0.45 | % | | | 0.48 | % | | | 0.34 | % |
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), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received 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 were as follows:

Officers and Trustees of the Funds who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Funds who are not affiliated with the investment advisers 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 for AMT-Free Fund and the year ended September 30, 2012 for National Fund, 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. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, each Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 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. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for Class A shares amounted to the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | | | Year Ended September 30, 2012 | |
| | | |
Class A Distribution and Service Fees | | $ | 577,425 | | | $ | 769,138 | | | $ | 7,257,927 | |
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. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund pays 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 Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD 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. The Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees, representing 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class B and Class C shares:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | | | Year Ended September 30, 2012 | |

Class B Distribution Fees | | $ | 34,309 | | | $ | 77,307 | | | $ | 857,402 | |
Class C Distribution Fees | | $ | 266,196 | | | $ | 325,573 | | | $ | 7,113,304 | |
At September 30, 2012, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | ATM-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Class B | | $ | 561,000 | | | $ | 7,557,000 | |
Class C | | $ | 3,931,000 | | | $ | 159,217,000 | |
Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are

Class C Service Fees | | $ | 88,732 | | | $ | 108,524 | | | $ | 2,371,101 | |
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). 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 gain 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 redeemed 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. The Funds were informed that EVD received approximately the following amounts of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders:

7 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:

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of each Fund at September 30, 2012, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 396,365,195 | | | $ | 4,639,391,422 | |
| | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 71,560,214 | | | $ | 687,133,080 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (5,798,319 | ) | | | (155,732,687 | ) |
| | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 65,761,895 | | | $ | 531,400,393 | |
9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $600 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 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At September 30, 2012, the National Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $19,200,000 at an interest rate of 1.14%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2012. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at September 30, 2012. The Funds’ average borrowings or allocated fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011 for AMT-Free Fund and the year ended September 30, 2012 for National Fund were not significant.
10 Financial Instruments
The Funds may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts 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 do 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 September 30, 2012 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Futures Contracts | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Expiration Month/Year | | | Contracts | | Position | | Aggregate Cost | | | Value | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | | | | | |
AMT-Free | | | 12/12 | | | 325 U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note | | Short | | $ | (43,135,538 | ) | | $ | (43,382,422 | ) | | $ | (246,884 | ) |
| | | 12/12 | | | 182 U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond | | Short | | | (27,252,745 | ) | | | (27,186,250 | ) | | | 66,495 | |
National | | | 12/12 | | | 11,000 U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond | | Short | | $ | (1,647,143,938 | ) | | $ | (1,643,125,000 | ) | | $ | 4,018,938 | |
At September 30, 2012, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Funds hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Funds purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the AMT-Free Fund also entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against interest rate risk.

11 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Ÿ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At September 30, 2012, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

The aggregate net assets of National Fund immediately before the acquisition were $5,770,396,398. The net assets of Colorado Fund, Kansas Fund, Louisiana Fund and Insured Municipal Fund at that date of $33,276,891, $31,957,967, $36,059,684 and $63,958,560, respectively, including $3,085,526, $3,215,307, $2,499,092 and $4,257,813 of accumulated net realized losses, respectively, and $783,552, $891,311, $1,329,047 and $4,235,825 of unrealized appreciation, respectively, were combined with those of National Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $5,935,649,500.

As of the close of business on September 23, 2011, National Fund acquired the net assets of Eaton Vance Michigan Municipal Income Fund (Michigan Fund) and Eaton Vance Rhode Island Municipal Income Fund (Rhode Island Fund) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of Michigan Fund and Rhode Island Fund, respectively. The purpose of the transaction was to combine three funds managed by BMR with substantially similar investment objectives and policies. The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I of National Fund for shares of Class A, Class C and Class I of Michigan Fund and shares of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I of Rhode Island Fund, each outstanding on September 23, 2011 as follows:

The investment portfolios of Michigan Fund and Rhode Island Fund, with a fair value of $42,947,891 and $37,055,797, respectively, and identified cost of $40,409,776 and $36,656,183, respectively, were the principal assets acquired by National Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by National Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from Michigan Fund and Rhode Island Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of National Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of National Fund immediately before the acquisition were $4,679,605,758. The net assets of Michigan Fund and Rhode Island Fund at that date of $42,629,692 and $36,266,031, respectively, including $4,442,360 and $5,082,783 of accumulated net realized losses, respectively, and $2,538,115 and $399,614 of unrealized appreciation, respectively, were combined with those of National Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $4,758,501,481.
Assuming the acquisitions had been completed on October 1, 2010, the beginning of National Fund’s annual reporting period, National Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 are as follows:
| | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 287,781,436 | |
Net realized loss | | $ | (294,501,005 | ) |
Net decrease in net assets from operations | | $ | (154,992,618 | ) |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it was not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Colorado Fund, Kansas Fund, Louisiana Fund and Insured Municipal Fund since November 5, 2010 and Michigan Fund and Rhode Island Fund since September 23, 2011, through the year ended September 30, 2011.
13 Fiscal Year-End Change
Effective August 7, 2012, the fiscal year-end of AMT-Free Fund was changed from December 31 to September 30.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of September 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, the statements of changes in net assets for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the financial highlights for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund as of September 30, 2012, the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, the changes in its net assets for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the financial highlights for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 continuation 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, 2012, 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 Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by each adviser to the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2012, as well as information considered during prior meetings of the committee. Such information included, among other things, the following:

Ÿ | | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |

Ÿ | | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices and customized peer groups, in each case as approved by the Board with respect to the funds; |
Ÿ | | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
Ÿ | | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
Ÿ | | Information about 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 client commission arrangements and the fund’s policies with respect to “soft dollar” arrangements; |
Ÿ | | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
Ÿ | | 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; |

Ÿ | | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
Ÿ | | 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; |
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |

Other Relevant Information
Ÿ | | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
Ÿ | | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds’ administrator; and |
Ÿ | | The terms of each advisory agreement. |
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review 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, 2012, with respect to one or more funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met ten, nineteen, seven, eight and fourteen times respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to each fund. The Board and its Committees considered the investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective, including, where relevant, the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its Committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management and other fund advisers with respect to such matters.
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 Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review 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 Contract Review 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 Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreements of the following funds:
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance National Municipal Income Fund |
(the “Funds”), each with Eaton Vance Management or an affiliate (the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment 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. In particular, the Board considered, 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 obligations. The Board considered the Adviser’s large municipal bond team, which includes portfolio managers and 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 methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Fund 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 in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued
The Board 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.
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 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, and assessed each Fund’s performance on the basis of total return and current income return. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2011 for each Fund. The Board considered the impact of extraordinary market conditions in recent years on each Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe in light of, among other things, the Adviser’s efforts to generate competitive levels of tax exempt current income over time through investments in higher quality municipal bonds with longer maturities. The Board noted that the Adviser had taken action to restructure each Fund’s portfolio as part of a long-term strategy for managing interest rate risk, consistent with each Fund’s objective of providing current income, and that performance had improved relative to peer funds over recent periods. The Board concluded that each Fund’s performance had been satisfactory on the basis of current income return, and that it was appropriate to continue to monitor the effectiveness of the actions taken by the Adviser to improve Fund performance on the basis of total return, which it noted had improved for periods ended as of December 31, 2011.
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 the management fees and each Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions taken by management in recent years to reduce expenses at the Eaton Vance fund complex level, including the negotiation of reduced fees for transfer agency and custody services.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services 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 relationships with the Funds, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds and other investment advisory clients.
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, 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 each 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 each Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale. 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, will allow each Fund to continue to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (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.

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 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
In the early months of the period, investors appeared to worry about intensifying debt problems in Europe, high U.S. unemployment, a stagnant housing market, and the lingering Congressional deadlock that left businesses perplexed about the direction of tax and regulatory policy. The S&P 500 Index,2 which had fallen sharply in the late summer of 2011, continued to drift down through November of 2011.
Beginning in mid-December of 2011, however, an equity rally took hold and continued into early April 2012, fueled by stronger economic growth in the fourth quarter, falling unemployment, and what the markets perceived as a successful restructuring of Greek debt. Then in May 2012, the third annual mid-year economic slowdown arrived, instigated by renewed concerns in Europe, slowing growth in China, and continuing political uncertainty in the United States with the upcoming presidential election. Despite a slowdown in consumer spending and weakening employment data, however, stocks moved upward intermittently from June through the end of the period — in part because investors anticipated that worsening economic news would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) to initiate another round of quantitative easing to stimulate the economy. This also drove U.S. Treasury yields to all time lows in July 2012. The Fed proved the markets right when it initiated a new, open-ended round of quantitative easing just weeks before period-end.
Against this backdrop, municipal bonds rallied during the one-year period ending September 30, 2012, led by the long end of the yield curve. The Funds’ primary benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the Index) — an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the United States — returned 8.32% for the period, while the Barclays Capital Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index returned 12.21%. As yields on high quality bonds fell, investors moved out on the yield curve, buying longer maturity municipal bonds to potentially take advantage of higher yields. In their quest for income during a period of historically low interest rates, investors also favored lower quality, higher yielding issues over higher quality bonds. As a result, longer duration, lower credit quality bonds were the best performers in the municipals space during the period.
Municipal bonds offered higher taxable-equivalent yields than Treasuries during the period. The ratio of 30-year AAA7 municipal yields to 30-year
Treasury yields — which historically has averaged less than 100% because municipal yields are federally tax-exempt — began the period at 122.4%, making municipal bonds very attractive relative to Treasuries. Investor recognition of this anomaly was likely the main factor that drove the ratio down to 101.6% by period-end, and the increased interest in municipal bonds caused them to outperform Treasuries for the one-year period ending September 30, 2012.
Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, the California, Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio Funds’ Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) all outperformed the 8.32% return of the Index.
The Funds’ overall strategy is to invest primarily in bonds with maturities of ten years or more, in order to capture their generally higher yields and greater income payments at the long end of the yield curve. Management tends to hedge to various degrees against the greater potential risk of volatility at the long end of the yield curve by using Treasury futures and/or interest-rate swaps in seeking to provide downside protection.
Performance of all Funds was helped by their overweighting in longer maturity bonds and in lower-rated bonds, during a period when yield-hungry investors favored longer duration, lower quality issues. An overweighting in zero-coupon bonds, which were the best performing coupon in the Index during the period, contributed to results versus the Index for all Funds except the Massachusetts Fund. For the California and New York Funds, security selection in zero-coupon issues helped performance versus the Index as well.
For all four Funds, leveraged6 investments also helped results versus the Index. Management holds leveraged investments in seeking to enhance the Funds’ tax-exempt income. The use of leveraged investments has the effect of achieving additional exposure to the municipal market and magnifies a fund’s exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down markets. As a result, during this period of strong performance by municipal bonds, leveraged investments aided relative performance versus the Index.
As a risk management tactic within the overall Fund strategy mentioned above, interest rate hedging is intended to moderate performance on both the upside and the downside of the market. During this period, however, municipal bonds strongly outperformed Treasuries. As a result, the hedging strategy did not have a notable effect on relative performance versus the Index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance — continued
State-specific Results
Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV had a total return of 13.17%, outpacing the 8.32% return of the Index. Drivers of outperformance versus the Index included an overweighting and security selection in the strong-performing hospital sector and an overweighting in bonds with maturities of 10 years or more. As noted earlier, leveraged investments and positioning in zero-coupon bonds helped results versus the Index as well. The chief detractor from performance versus the Index was an underweighting in industrial development revenue (IDR) bonds, which performed well. Along with hospital bonds, IDR bonds tend to be among the lower-rated municipal issues, and both sectors delivered strong results versus the Index during a period when investors in search of yield favored lower-rated, higher yielding bonds.
Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 12.05%, surpassing the 8.32% return of the Index. Contributors to performance versus the Index included an overweighting and security selection in three strong-performing areas: bonds with maturities of 10 years or more, 5.5% coupon bonds, and the education sector. As mentioned above, leveraged investments helped performance versus the Index as well. Detractors from performance versus the Index included security selection in zero-coupon bonds and the Fund’s hedging strategy.
Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 11.98%, outperforming the 8.32% return of the Index. An overweighting and security selection in bonds in the 20 — 30 year maturity range helped relative performance versus the Index, as did leveraged investments and positioning in zero-coupon bonds. Detractors from performance versus the Index included the hedging strategy mentioned previously and a modest amount of profit taking, as the Fund sold some of its strong-performing issues into the municipals rally that occurred during the period.
Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 12.29%, outperforming the 8.32% return of the Index. The major contributors to relative outperformance versus the Index were leveraged investments, an overweighting in bonds in the 10–30 year maturity range, an overweighting in zero-coupon bonds, and an overweighting and security selection in three sectors that performed well: local government general obligation bonds, hospitals, and IDRs. Detractors from performance versus the Index included an underweighting and security selection in bonds with maturities of 30 years or more, as well as the hedging strategy.

1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of large-cap stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays Capital Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities of 22 years or more. Barclays Capital 20 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 17-22 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
4 | Total annual operating expense ratios are as stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus. Net expense ratio excludes interest expense relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with residual interest bond transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income in an amount equal to this expense relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be composed of ordinary income, tax-exempt income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30- day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
6 | Fund employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes.

7 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. Credit ratings are based largely on the rating agency’s investment analysis at the time of rating and the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. Ratings of BBB or higher by Standard and Poor’s or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment grade quality. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, 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 and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing 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 (April 1, 2012 – September 30, 2012).
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 Fund return. 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 be higher.

The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Ohio 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 September 30, 2012, 63.8% 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 2.3% to 26.5% of total investments.
(1) | When-issued security. |
(2) | Security represents the municipal bond held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds (see Note 1I). |
(3) | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At September 30, 2012, the aggregate value of these securities is $3,544,951 or 1.6% of the Fund’s net assets. |
(4) | 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 held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Fund could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $7,725,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond. |
(5) | Security has been issued as a leveraged residual interest bond with a variable interest rate. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at September 30, 2012. |
(6) | Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged as collateral for residual interest bond transactions. The aggregate value of such collateral is $2,968,550. |
(7) | Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover payable for when-issued securities. |

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-two funds, four of which, each non-diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund (California Fund), Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund (Massachusetts Fund), Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund (New York Fund), and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund (Ohio 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 California Fund, Massachusetts Fund and Ohio Fund offer three classes of shares and the New York Fund offers four 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 I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares of each Fund automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in each Fund’s prospectus. Beginning January 1, 2012, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. The California Fund previously offered Class B shares. Such offering was discontinued during the year ended September 30, 2012. At the close of business on December 9, 2011, the California Fund’s Class B shares were merged into Class A shares. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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 — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Interest rate swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such pricing service valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap rates provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of a Fund in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At September 30, 2012, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards and current year deferred capital losses which will reduce the respective 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 current year deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year

and are treated as realized prior to the utilization of the capital loss carryforward. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards and the amounts of the current year deferred capital losses are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As of September 30, 2012, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
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 custodian agreement, 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. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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 residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Fund may sell a variable or 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. The broker deposits a bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the 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. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rates notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value

hierarchy (see Note 11) at September 30, 2012. Interest expense related to the Funds’ liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At September 30, 2012, the amounts of the Funds’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 11,560,000 | | | $ | 18,650,000 | | | $ | 34,525,000 | | | $ | 7,500,000 | |
Interest Rate or Range of Interest Rates (%) | | | 0.18 - 0.21 | | | | 0.19 - 0.25 | | | | 0.19 - 0.25 | | | | 0.19 - 0.25 | |
Collateral for Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 17,152,321 | | | $ | 32,243,908 | | | $ | 56,692,303 | | | $ | 15,638,625 | |
For the year ended September 30, 2012, the Funds’ average Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate including fees were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Average Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 13,281,407 | | | $ | 18,650,000 | | | $ | 34,525,000 | | | $ | 7,500,000 | |
Average Interest Rate | | | 0.77 | % | | | 0.82 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.79 | % |
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 Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Funds had no shortfalls as of September 30, 2012.
The Funds may also purchase residual interest bonds from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Funds’ investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Funds’ restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Funds’ restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
J Financial Futures Contracts — 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 contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
K Interest Rate Swaps — Pursuant to interest rate swap 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. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. 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 the 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.

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 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. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended September 30, 2012 | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended September 30, 2011 | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 8,411,403 | | | $ | 9,511,897 | | | $ | 15,550,340 | | | $ | 9,789,043 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,292 | | | $ | 44,578 | | | $ | 21,080 | | | $ | 21,780 | |
During the year ended September 30, 2012, the following amounts were reclassified due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Change in: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Paid-in capital | | $ | — | | | $ | (355,911 | ) | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | $ | 63,631 | | | $ | 559,143 | | | $ | 68,781 | | | $ | 45,551 | |
Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | $ | (63,631 | ) | | $ | (203,232 | ) | | $ | (68,781 | ) | | $ | (45,551 | ) |
These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.
As of September 30, 2012, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | $ | 529,614 | | | $ | 654,482 | | | $ | 635,301 | | | $ | 37,561 | |
Capital loss carryforward and deferred capital losses | | $ | (26,340,346 | ) | | $ | (39,328,408 | ) | | $ | (39,282,256 | ) | | $ | (29,697,516 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 23,720,040 | | | $ | 27,484,424 | | | $ | 43,072,691 | | | $ | 27,928,298 | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (159,155 | ) | | $ | (137,438 | ) | | $ | (226,946 | ) | | $ | (126,847 | ) |

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to futures contracts, accretion of market discount, residual interest bonds, wash sales, defaulted bond interest and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
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) as presented in the following table (except for California Fund) and is payable monthly.
| | | | | | | | |
Daily Net Assets | | Annual Asset Rate | | | Daily Income Rate | |
| | |
Up to $20 million | | | 0.10 | % | | | 1.00 | % |
$20 million up to $40 million | | | 0.20 | | | | 2.00 | |
$40 million up to $500 million | | | 0.30 | | | | 3.00 | |

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), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received 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 year ended September 30, 2012 were as follows:

Officers and Trustees of the Funds who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser 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 year ended September 30, 2012, 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% (0.25% for California Fund) per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets

Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and/or Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund pays 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 Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD 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 the year ended September 30, 2012 with respect to Class B of California Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2012, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees, representing 0.75% (0.36% (annualized) for Class B of California Fund) of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class B and/or Class C shares:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries 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% (0.25% for California Fund) 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 sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD 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 year ended September 30, 2012 amounted to the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |

Class C Service Fees | | $ | 28,301 | | | $ | 43,497 | | | $ | 84,230 | | | $ | 47,893 | |
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). 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 gain 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 redeemed 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 year ended September 30, 2012, the Funds were informed that EVD received approximately the following amounts of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders:

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of each Fund at September 30, 2012, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 160,934,915 | | | $ | 152,898,972 | | | $ | 291,392,453 | | | $ | 189,806,603 | |

Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (844,015 | ) | | | (2,601,906 | ) | | | (5,057,715 | ) | | | (2,108,393 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 23,720,040 | | | $ | 27,484,424 | | | $ | 43,072,691 | | | $ | 27,928,298 | |
9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $600 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 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2012.
10 Financial Instruments
The Funds may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. 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 do 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.

At September 30, 2012, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Funds hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Funds entered into interest rate swap contracts. The Funds also purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair values of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at September 30, 2012 were as follows:

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Ÿ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At September 30, 2012, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust), including the portfolios of investments, as of September 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund as of September 30, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval
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 continuation 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, 2012, 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 Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by each adviser to the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2012, as well as information considered during prior meetings of the committee. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including, where relevant, yield data, Sharpe ratios and information ratios) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
Ÿ | | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices and customized peer groups, in each case as approved by the Board with respect to the funds; |
Ÿ | | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
Ÿ | | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
Ÿ | | Information about 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 client commission arrangements and the fund’s policies with respect to “soft dollar” arrangements; |
Ÿ | | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
Ÿ | | 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; |
Ÿ | | Information about each adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions, and other policies and practices of each adviser with respect to trading; |
Information about each Adviser
Ÿ | | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
Ÿ | | 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; |
Ÿ | | 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; |
Ÿ | | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
Ÿ | | 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; |
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
Ÿ | | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |

Other Relevant Information
Ÿ | | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
Ÿ | | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds’ administrator; and |
Ÿ | | The terms of each advisory agreement. |
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review 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, 2012, with respect to one or more funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met ten, nineteen, seven, eight and fourteen times respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to each fund. The Board and its Committees considered the investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective, including, where relevant, the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its Committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management and other fund advisers with respect to such matters.
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 Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review 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 Contract Review 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 Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreements of the following funds:
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund |
(the “Funds”), each with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment 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. In particular, the Board considered, 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 obligations. The Board considered the Adviser’s large municipal bond team, which includes portfolio managers and 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 methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Fund 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 in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board 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.
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 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, and assessed each Fund’s performance on the basis of total return and current income return. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2011 for each Fund. The Board considered the impact of extraordinary market conditions in recent years on each Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe in light of, among other things, the Adviser’s efforts to generate competitive levels of tax exempt current income over time through investments in higher quality municipal bonds with longer maturities. The Board noted that the Adviser had taken action to restructure each Fund’s portfolio as part of a long-term strategy for managing interest rate risk, consistent with each Fund’s objective of providing current income, and that performance had improved relative to peer funds over recent periods. The Board concluded that each Fund’s performance had been satisfactory on the basis of current income return, and that it was appropriate to continue to monitor the effectiveness of the actions taken by the Adviser to improve Fund performance on the basis of total return, which it noted had improved for periods ended as of December 31, 2011.
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 the management fees and each Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions taken by management in recent years to reduce expenses at the Eaton Vance fund complex level, including the negotiation of reduced fees for transfer agency and custody services.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services 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 relationships with the Funds, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds and other investment advisory clients.
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, 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 each 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 each Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale. 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, will allow each Fund to continue to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
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:
Ÿ | | 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. |
Ÿ | | 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. |
Ÿ | | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
Ÿ | | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy 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, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., Eaton Vance Trust Company, Eaton Vance Management’s Real Estate Investment Group and Boston Management and Research. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only 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 advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’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 (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 advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, 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 advisor. 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 advisor.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of 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 at 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 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.
The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant’s audit committee at least annually. The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.
