Delivery of Shareholder Documents.

This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the Securities and Exchange Commision’s website at www.sec.gov.

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.

Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2005
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Thomas J. Fetter
President
The municipal bond market is a center of capital formation for states, municipalities and, in some cases, private economic initiatives. In this edition of our continuing educational series, we will discuss industrial development revenue (IDR) bonds. IDR bonds have long been used as a financing mechanism by local governments to provide assistance to local employers and encourage job retention and creation within their communities.
IDR bonds finance private activities that benefit the public...
IDR bonds are issued by municipal authorities to finance projects and facilities used by private corporations. Historically, IDR bonds have represented a partnership between the private and public sectors – a source of dedicated funding for companies and a source of job creation in projects beneficial to local communities. The “Private-Activities” provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 permits issuance of tax-exempt bonds for specific activities, including pollution control; gas and electric service; water distribution; wastewater systems; solid waste disposal; airports and selected transportation projects; and other industrial projects.
The Act also placed a cap on the dollar amount that may be raised for IDR bonds in each state, limiting the amount to $50 per person/per state/per year, with a $150 million maximum. These limitations provide protection against potential abuse and ensure that tax-exempt IDR bonds will indeed be issued for projects that will benefit the public.
IDR bonds finance utility-related projects and other key industrial initiatives...
Typically, IDR bond projects provide financing for manufacturing, processing or utility facilities. Historically, about one-half of these bonds have been issued to finance pollution control facilities for manufacturers and electric utilities. As many utilities and manufacturers have been ordered to comply with stricter environmental and fuel standards, pollution control bonds have helped finance the retrofits of existing plants. Other IDR bonds have served as inducements from state and local issuers to locate plants or build new facilities, in the hope that such construction might generate further economic growth for a community.
IDR bonds are secured by corporate revenues – not those of state or local governments...
IDR bond issues are secured by the credit of the underlying corporation. The municipal issuing authority acts solely as a conduit to permit tax-exempt financing. The corporation pledges to make payments sufficient to meet all debt service obligations. Unlike some revenue issues, IDR bonds are backed by revenues of the entire corporation, not solely by those of the project being financed.
Because IDR bonds are backed by corporate revenues and not by the taxing authority of a state or local jurisdiction, they have historically provided coupon premiums above those of general obligations and other more traditional revenue bonds. Bonds may be either collateralized or unsecured. Collateralized bonds have a lien against the company’s assets, which may provide bond holders enhanced bargaining power in the event of a bankruptcy. Unsecured bonds have no such lien.
While providing new opportunities, IDR bonds require rigorous analysis...
While IDR bonds may provide unusual investment opportunities, they also may entail increased risk and, therefore, demand especially intensive analysis. At Eaton Vance, we have credit analysts and resources dedicated to IDR bond research.
We feel that IDR bonds represent a key segment of the municipal bond market and should remain an important source of capital formation. In our view, the experience and resources needed to evaluate these issues further demonstrates the value of
professional management. We will continue to look for opportunities in this sector of the municipal market.
| Sincerely, | |
|

MARKET RECAP
Despite rising core inflation, an alarming jump in the Federal budget deficit and a hike in short-term interest rates, the U.S. economy remained on track for moderate growth in the year ended January 31, 2005. One major factor for fixed-income investors during the period was the spike in gasoline and energy prices. Nonetheless, consumers remained fairly upbeat, with holiday season spending actually exceeding last year’s levels.
The U.S. economy continued its recovery in 2004, as manufacturing rebounded...
The nation’s Gross Domestic Product grew by 3.1% in the fourth quarter of 2004, according to preliminary Commerce Department figures, following a 4.0% rise in the third quarter. Economic activity was uneven, with some segments slowing and others growing at varying rates. For example, manufacturing activity gained strength, as capital spending picked up among businesses. Transportation equipment, electrical equipment, building materials and machine tools were in especially strong demand.
Demand was not uniform across the board, however, as evidenced by declines in the shipments of textiles, automobiles and some technology products. The residential construction sector remained strong, despite rising mortgage rates. The commercial segment, which has lagged significantly, showed some signs of renewal, with office vacancy rates moving lower.
After a sluggish first half, job growth gained traction in the second half of the fiscal year...
2004 brought some improvement on the job front. After posting minimal job growth in the first half of 2004, the second half brought increased hiring in selected industries. Manufacturing jobs gained, as did hiring in the service sectors, tourism, some transportation areas and the financial sector. Having postponed new hiring for many months, some businesses apparently became more confident about the staying power of the recovery. As a result of increased job growth, the nation’s unemployment rate fell to 5.2% in January 2005, down from 5.7% a year earlier.
Principal and interest payments of Treasury securities are guaranteed by the U.S. government.

The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates in 2004...
The Federal Reserve pushed short-term rates higher, suggesting it will continue to raise rates to keep the economy from growing too quickly and, thereby, reviving inflation. Beginning in June 2004, the Fed increased its Federal Funds rate – a key short-term interest rate barometer – on six occasions, raising that benchmark from 1.00% to 2.50%.
In a volatile environment, the municipal bond market managed a respectable gain for the year. For the year ended January 31, 2005, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 4.86%.
*It is not possible to invest directly in an Index.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
The Fund
Performance for the Past Year
• The Fund’s Class A shares had a total return of 3.34% during the year ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of a decrease in net asset value (NAV) to $11.38 per share on January 31, 2005 from $11.54 on January 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.529 in dividends.(2)
• The Fund’s Class B shares had a total return of 2.64% during the year ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of a decrease in net asset value (NAV) to $11.25 per share on January 31, 2005 from $11.42 on January 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.460 in dividends.(2)
• For comparison, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 4.86% for the year ended January 31, 2005.(3)
• Based on the Fund’s most recent dividends and NAVs on January 31, 2005 of $11.38 per share for Class A and $11.25 for Class B, the Fund’s distribution rates were 4.53% and 3.85%, respectively.(4) The distribution rates of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable rates of 6.97% and 5.92%, respectively.(5)
• The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and Class B shares at January 31, 2005 were 3.74% and 3.18%, respectively.(6) The SEC 30-day yields of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable yields of 5.75% and 4.89%, respectively.(5)
Formerly, the Fund invested its assets in a corresponding investment company (referred to as the Portfolio) that had the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. Effective September 10, 2004, the Fund began to invest its assets directly in securities. The Fund’s investment objective and other investment policies remain unchanged. In addition, Boston Management and Research, the investment adviser to the Portfolio, acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The investment advisery fee paid remains unchanged.
Management Discussion
Craig Brandon
Portfolio Manager
• Although impacted by a severe hurricane season, Florida’s economy continued to expand in 2004. Tourism was hurt by the storms, as visitor volume declined 4% from a year ago. However, the construction industry enjoyed strong growth, amid a robust housing and improving commercial market. Florida’s jobless rate was 4.3% in January 2005, down from 4.9% a year ago.
• Insured* water and sewer bonds were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005. Essential service revenues have remained relatively stable, generally unaffected by changes in the overall economy. Water issues have represented a large portion of Florida’s tax-exempt issuance in recent years, as the state has addressed the twin issues of growth and aging infrastructure.
• Insured* special tax revenue bonds constituted a major commitment for the Fund. These issues provided Florida communities a versatile financing mechanism for public facilities. They are additionally attractive for many investors because they are backed by tax receipts, not by individual project revenues.
• In the competitive Florida hospital sector, the Fund remained very selective. Management focused on insured* bonds of hospitals it believes have a competitive advantage due to marketable health care services and a sound underlying financial condition.
• The Fund had significant investments in the insured* transportation sector, including expressways, seaports and airport authorities. As Florida deals with an expanding population of tourists, northern emigres and retirees, transportation bonds have funded the expansion and updating of road, aviation and port facilities needed to accommodate this growth.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares. If the sales charge were deducted, returns would be lower. (2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal income or state intangibles taxes and/or alternative minimum tax. (3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. (4) The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value. (5) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 35.0% combined federal income and state intangibles tax rate. A lower rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. (6) The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
The Fund
Performance for the Past Year
• The Fund’s Class A shares had a total return of 3.91% during the year ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of a decrease in net asset value (NAV) to $9.85 per share on January 31, 2005 from $9.91 on January 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.435 in dividends.(2)
• The Fund’s Class B shares had a total return of 3.21% during the year ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of a decrease in net asset value (NAV) to $9.97 per share on January 31, 2005 from $10.04 on January 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.383 in dividends.(2)
• For comparison, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 4.86% for the year ended January 31, 2005.(3)
• Based on the Fund’s most recent dividends and NAVs on January 31, 2005 of $9.85 per share for Class A and $9.97 for Class B, the Fund’s distribution rates were 4.34% and 3.60%, respectively.(4) The distribution rates of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable rates of 7.28% and 6.04%, respectively.(5)
• The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and Class B shares at January 31, 2005 were 3.35% and 2.78%, respectively.(6) The SEC 30-day yields of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable yields of 5.62% and 4.66%, respectively.(5)
Formerly, the Fund invested its assets in a corresponding investment company (referred to as the Portfolio) that had the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. Effective September 10, 2004, the Fund began to invest its assets directly in securities. The Fund’s investment objective and other investment policies remain unchanged. In addition, Boston Management and Research, the investment adviser to the Portfolio, acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The investment advisery fee paid remains unchanged.
Management Discussion
Robert B. MacIntosh
Portfolio Manager
• Hawaii continued to post strong job growth in 2004. While the state enjoyed gains in many sectors during the past year, tourism benefited the most. Visits from Japan have returned to pre-September 11 levels. The health services sector also generated solid job gains, supported by Hawaii’s growing population of retirees. The state jobless rate was 3.0% in January 2005, down from 3.6% a year ago.
• Insured* general obligations were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005. The Fund’s investments were focused on state and county issues, which have enjoyed an improving revenue outlook, as the Hawaii economy has rebounded.
• Insured* transportation bonds played a prominent role in the Fund. Not surprisingly, transportation has been a key factor in the recovery of Hawaii’s tourism industry. Investments included issues for highways, harbors and airport authorities.
• Lack of supply was once again a concern to Hawaii municipal investors. As the Fund sold some pre-refunded issues at a premium, management was able to enhance the Fund’s income by reinvesting the proceeds in some new issues of familiar large statewide issuers.
• The Fund reduced its exposure to Puerto Rico bonds during the period. Typically, these issues offer good quality and further opportunities for diversification. However, we believe they have become less attractive following their outperformance of the broad municipal market in the fourth quarter of 2004.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares. If the sales charge were deducted, returns would be lower. (2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal or state and local income taxes and/or alternative minimum tax. (3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. (4) The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value. (5) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 40.36% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. (6) The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
The Fund
Performance for the Past Year
• The Fund’s Class A shares had a total return of 3.46% during the year ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of a decrease in net asset value (NAV) to $10.56 per share on January 31, 2005 from $10.68 on January 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.476 in dividends.(2)
• The Fund’s Class B shares had a total return of 2.84% during the year ended January 31, 2005.(1) This return was the result of a decrease in net asset value (NAV) to $10.47 per share on January 31, 2005 from $10.59 on January 31, 2004, and the reinvestment of $0.411 in dividends.(2)
• For comparison, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 4.86% for the year ended January 31, 2005.(3)
• Based on the Fund’s most recent dividends and NAVs on January 31, 2005 of $10.56 per share for Class A and $10.47 for Class B, the Fund’s distribution rates were 4.30% and 3.56%, respectively.(4) The distribution rates of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable rates of 7.07% and 5.85%, respectively.(5)
• The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and Class B shares at January 31, 2005 were 3.37% and 2.87%, respectively.(6) The SEC 30-day yields of Class A and Class B are equivalent to taxable yields of 5.54% and 4.72%, respectively.(5)
Formerly, the Fund invested its assets in a corresponding investment company (referred to as the Portfolio) that had the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. Effective September 10, 2004, the Fund began to invest its assets directly in securities. The Fund’s investment objective and other investment policies remain unchanged. In addition, Boston Management and Research, the investment adviser to the Portfolio, acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The investment advisery fee paid remains unchanged.
Management Discussion

• The Kansas economy gained strength in the third quarter of 2004, as job growth expanded in two consecutive quarters for the first time in five years. Manufacturing was especially strong, recovering some of the severe losses suffered during the downturn. The aerospace industry and drought-damaged farm sector remained areas of concern. The Kansas jobless rate was 5.2% in January 2005, down from 5.6% a year ago.
• Insured* general obligations were the Fund’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005 and provided a high-quality investment in a still-recovering economy. The Fund’s investments were focused on county unified school district issues, which have historically had fairly stable revenues.
• Insured* hospital bonds constituted prominent investments for the Fund. With cost containment increasingly a requisite for survival in the hospital industry, management emphasized issuers with strong underlying fundamentals, attractive health care specialties and high utilization rates.
• The Fund maintained an exposure to essential services bonds, including insured* electric utilities issues. Because the revenues for these issues are based on customer electric bill payments, they are considered less subject to economic fluctuations than many cyclical issuers.
• The Fund had significant investments in escrowed bonds. Pre-refunded and backed by Treasury bonds, these issues are considered very high quality. Among the Fund’s escrowed bonds were state highway issues and county single family mortgage revenue bonds.
* Private insurance does not decrease the risk of loss of principal associated with this investment.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares. If the sales charge were deducted, returns would be lower. (2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal or state and local income taxes and/or alternative minimum tax. (3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. (4) The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value. (5) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 39.19% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. (6) The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 – January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust) is an entity of the type commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of four Funds, each non-diversified, three of which are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance Florida Insured Municipals Fund (Florida Insured Fund), Eaton Vance Hawaii Municipals Fund (Hawaii Fund) and Eaton Vance Kansas Municipals Fund (Kansas Fund) (together referred to as the "Funds"). The Funds seek to achieve current income exempt from regular federal income tax and particular state or local income or other taxes by investing primarily in investment grade municipal obligations. The Funds offer two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B shares are sold at net asset value and are subject to a declining contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 6). The Trustees have adopted a conversion feature pursuant to which Class B shares of each Fund automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase, as described in each Fund's prospectus. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class' paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class specific expenses.
On September 10, 2004, the Florida Insured Fund, the Hawaii Fund and the Kansas Fund received its pro rata share of cash and securities from the Florida Insured Municipals Portfolio (Florida Insured Portfolio), the Hawaii Municipals Portfolio (Hawaii Portfolio) and the Kansas Municipals Portfolio (Kansas Portfolio), respectively, in a complete liquidation of its interest in its corresponding Portfolio. Subsequent to September 10, 2004, each Fund invests directly in securities rather than through its corresponding Portfolio and maintains the same investment objectives.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuations - Municipal bonds are normally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Taxable obligations, if any, for which price quotations are readily available are normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Over-the-counter options on financial futures contracts are normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Interest rate swaps are normally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a broker. Short-term obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B Income - Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount.
C Federal Taxes - Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable and tax-exempt income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At January 31, 2005, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers which will reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by t he Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryovers are as follows:
Fund | Amount | Expires | |||||||||
Florida Insured | $ | 18,493 | January 31, 2008 | ||||||||
375,493 | January 31, 2009 | ||||||||||

Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
Dividends paid by each Fund from net interest on tax-exempt municipal bonds are not includable by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes because each Fund intends to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies which will enable the Funds to pay exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986 may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
Additionally, at January 31, 2005, the Kansas Fund had net capital losses of $12,189 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2004. These net capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's taxable year ending January 31, 2006.
D Financial Futures Contracts - Upon the entering of a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit (initial margin) either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Fund. A Fund's investment in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
E Options on Financial Futures Contracts - Upon the purchase of a put option on a financial futures contract by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires, a Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. When a Fund exercises a put option, settlement i s made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing put options is limited to the premium originally paid.
F When-issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions - The Funds may engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date.
G Interest Rate Swaps - A Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. Pursuant to these agreements, the Fund makes semi-annual payments at a fixed interest rate. In exchange, a Fund receives payment based on the interest rate of a benchmark industry index. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. However, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movement in value of interest rates.
H 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.
I Legal Fees - Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirements of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of or a plan of reorganization for an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
J Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations.
K Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
L Indemnifications - Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
M Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification of the securities sold.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains, if any, are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date. Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares of the same class of the Fund or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid in capital.
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended January 31, 2005 and January 31, 2004 was as follows:
Year Ended 1/31/05 | Florida Insured | Hawaii | Kansas | ||||||||||||
Distributions declared from: | |||||||||||||||

Ordinary income | $ | 4,046 | $ | 36,330 | - |
During the year ended January 31, 2005, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting for amortization and accretion on debt securities, market discount on disposal of securities, and capital losses:

Accumulated undistributed income | $ | (13,424 | ) | $ | (12,582 | ) | $ | (9,901 | ) |
These changes had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.
As of January 31, 2005, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Florida Insured | Hawaii | Kansas | |||||||||||||

4 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities). For the period from February 1, 2004 to September 10, 2004, advisory fees allocated from each Portfolio is as follows:
Portfolio | Amount | Effective Rate* | |||||||||
Florida Insured | $ | 71,719 | 0.26 | % | |||||||
Hawaii | 17,862 | 0.16 | % | ||||||||
Kansas | 23,240 | 0.17 | % |
For the period from September 11, 2004 to January 31, 2005, each Fund paid advisory fees as follows:
Fund | Amount | Effective Rate* | |||||||||
Florida Insured | $ | 41,845 | 0.24 | % | |||||||
Hawaii | 11,228 | 0.15 | % | ||||||||
Kansas | 13,673 | 0.16 | % |
* As a percentage of average daily net assets (annualized).
Except as to Trustees of the Funds who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of such investment adviser fee. EVM serves as the Administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of each Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of those
32
Eaton Vance Municipals Funds as of January 31, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
services. For the year ended January 31, 2005, EVM earned $1,090, $675, and $1,181 in sub-transfer agent fees from Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund, respectively. The Funds were informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM and the Funds' principal underwriter, received $4,543, $1,534 and $4,127 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares from Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2005.
Trustees of the Funds that 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 January 31, 2005, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.
During the period February 1, 2004 to September 10, 2004, Hawaii Portfolio engaged in a purchase transaction with another portfolio that also utilizes BMR as an investment adviser. This purchase transaction complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and amounted to $106,984.
5 Distribution and Service Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class B (Class B Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and a service plan for Class A (Class A Plan), (collectively, the Plans). The Class B Plan requires each Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares, for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Fund. Each Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B shares sold plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 6) and amounts theretofore paid to EVD. The amount payable to EVD with respect to each day is accrued on such day as a liability of each Class B and, accordingly, reduces net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2005, the Class B shares of the Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund paid $150,152, $88,580 and $56,524, respectively, to EVD, representing 0.75% of each Fund's Class B average daily net assets. At January 31, 2005, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B Plans for Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund were approximately $676,000, $444,000 and $259,000, respectively.
The Plans authorize each Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, investment dealers and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class B shares for each fiscal year. Service fee payments will be made for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable by each Fund to EVD, and as such are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fee payments for the year ended January 31, 2005 for the Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund amounted to $49,289, $14,377, and $29,128 respectively, for Class A shares, and $40,041, $23,621 and $15,073, respectively, for Class B shares.
6 Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. The Class B CDSC is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSC received on Class B redemptions are paid t o EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund's Class B Distribution Plan (see Note 5). CDSC received on Class B redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist for Class B will be credited to each Fund. EVD received approximately $2, $0 and $0 of CDSC paid by Class A shareholders of Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund, and Kansas Fund, respectively, and approximately $50,000, $13,000 and $22,000 of CDSC paid by Class B shareholders of Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2005.

9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and EVM and their affiliates in a $150 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions. Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. At January 31, 2005, the Florida Insured Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $500,000. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2005.
10 Overdraft Advances
Pursuant to the custodian agreement between the Funds and IBT, IBT may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Funds to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft by a Fund, the Fund is obligated to repay IBT at the current rate of interest charged by IBT for secured loans (currently a rate above the federal funds rate). This obligation is payable on demand to IBT. IBT has a lien on the Fund's assets to the extent of any overdraft. At January 31, 2005, the Florida Insured Fund's payment due to IBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement was $92,549.
11 Financial Instruments
The Funds regularly trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include futures contracts and interest rate swaps and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment a Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

The Kansas Fund has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc. whereby the Fund will make semi-annual payments at a fixed rate equal to 5.1225% on the current notional amount of $1,000,000. The effective date of the swap is February 7, 2005. In exchange, the Kansas Fund will receive quarterly payments at a rate equal to the three-month USD-LIBOR on the same notional amount. The value of the contract, which terminates February 7, 2015, is recorded as a payable for open swap contracts of $48,595 at January 31, 2005.
At January 31, 2005, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Eaton Vance Florida Insured Municipals Fund, Eaton Vance Hawaii Municipals Fund and Eaton Vance Kansas Municipals Fund, (collectively, the "Funds") (certain of the series constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II) (the "Trust") as of January 31, 2005, 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 Trust'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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 proc edures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 position of the aforementioned funds of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II as of January 31, 2005, 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 their 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.

The municipal bond market is a center of capital formation for states, municipalities and, in some cases, private economic initiatives. In this edition of our continuing educational series, we will discuss industrial development revenue (IDR) bonds. IDR bonds have long been used as a financing mechanism by local governments to provide assistance to local employers and encourage job retention and creation within their communities.
IDR bonds finance private activities that benefit the public...
IDR bonds are issued by municipal authorities to finance projects and facilities used by private corporations. Historically, IDR bonds have represented a partnership between the private and public sectors – a source of dedicated funding for companies and a source of job creation in projects beneficial to local communities. The “Private-Activities” provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 permits
issuance of tax-exempt bonds for specific activities, including pollution control; gas and electric service; water distribution; wastewater systems; solid waste disposal; airports and selected transportation projects; and other industrial projects.
The Act also placed a cap on the dollar amount that may be raised for IDR bonds in each state, limiting the amount to $50 per person/per state/per year, with a $150 million maximum. These limitations provide protection against potential abuse and ensure that tax-exempt IDR bonds will indeed be issued for projects that will benefit the public.
IDR bonds finance utility-related projects and other industrial initiatives...
Typically, IDR bond projects provide financing for manufacturing, processing or utility facilities. Historically, about one-half of these bonds have been issued to finance pollution control facilities for manufacturers and electric utilities. As many utilities and manufacturers have been ordered to comply with stricter environmental and fuel standards, pollution control bonds have helped finance the retrofits of existing plants. Other IDR bonds have served as inducements from state and local issuers to locate plants or build new facilities, in the hope that such construction might generate further economic growth for a community.
IDR bonds are secured by corporate revenues – not those of state or local governments...
IDR bond issues are secured by the credit of the underlying corporation. The municipal issuing authority acts solely as a conduit to permit tax-exempt financing. The corporation pledges to make payments sufficient to meet all debt service obligations. Unlike some revenue issues, IDR bonds are backed by revenues of the entire corporation, not solely by those of the project being financed.
Because IDR bonds are backed by corporate revenues and not by the taxing authority of a state or local jurisdiction, they have historically provided coupon premiums above those of general obligations and other more traditional revenue bonds. Bonds may be either collateralized or unsecured. Collateralized bonds have a lien against the company’s assets, which may provide bond holders
enhanced bargaining power in the event of a bankruptcy. Unsecured bonds have no such lien.
While providing new opportunities, IDR bonds require rigorous analysis...
While IDR bonds may provide unusual investment opportunities, they also may entail increased risk and, therefore, demand especially intensive analysis. At Eaton Vance, we have credit analysts and resources dedicated to IDR bond research.
We feel that IDR bonds represent a key segment of the municipal bond market and should remain an important source of capital formation. In our view, the experience and resources needed to evaluate these issues further demonstrates the value of professional management. We will continue to look for opportunities in this sector of the municipal market.
| Sincerely, |
|

M A R K E T R E C A P
Despite rising core inflation, an alarming jump in the Federal budget deficit and a hike in short-term interest rates, the U.S. economy remained on track for moderate growth in the year ended January 31, 2005. One major factor for fixed-income investors during the period was the spike in gasoline and energy prices. Nonetheless, consumers remained fairly upbeat, with holiday season spending actually exceeding last year’s levels.
The U.S. economy continued its recovery in 2004, as manufacturing rebounded...
The nation’s Gross Domestic Product grew by 3.1% in the fourth quarter of 2004, according to preliminary Commerce Department figures, following a 4.0% rise in the third quarter. Economic activity was uneven, with some segments slowing and others growing at varying rates. For example, manufacturing activity gained strength, as capital spending picked up among businesses. Transportation equipment, electrical equipment, building materials and machine tools were in especially strong demand.
Demand was not uniform across the board, however, as evidenced by declines in the shipments of textiles, automobiles and some technology products. The residential construction sector remained strong, despite rising mortgage rates. The commercial segment, which has lagged significantly, showed some signs of renewal, with office vacancy rates moving lower.
After a sluggish first half, job growth gained traction in the second half of the fiscal year...
2004 brought some improvement on the job front. After posting minimal job growth in the first half of 2004, the second half brought increased hiring in selected industries. Manufacturing jobs gained, as did hiring in the service sectors, tourism, some transportation areas and the financial sector.

Having postponed new hiring for many months, some businesses apparently became more confident about the staying power of the recovery. As a result of increased job growth, the nation’s unemployment rate fell to 5.2% in January 2005, down from 5.7% a year earlier.
The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates in 2004...
The Federal Reserve pushed short-term rates higher, suggesting it will continue to raise rates to keep the economy from growing too quickly and, thereby, reviving inflation. Beginning in June 2004, the Fed increased its Federal Funds rate – a key short-term interest rate barometer – on six occasions, raising that benchmark from 1.00% to 2.50%.
In a volatile environment, the municipal bond market managed a respectable gain for the year. For the year ended January 31, 2005, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index had a total return of 4.86%.*
*It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.

Management Discussion
• The U.S. economy continued to expand in 2004, with new job creation gaining momentum in the fourth quarter. Manufacturing was fairly strong, especially in the chemicals, aerospace, energy, construction and defense areas. The service sector also gained strength, notably within the business services area. The nation’s jobless rate was 5.2% in January 2005, down from 5.7% a year ago.
• Industrial development revenue bonds (IDRs) were the Portfolio’s largest sector weighting at January 31, 2005. IDRs are economically sensitive and benefited from spread tightening as the economy improved. The Portfolio’s airline and air cargo IDRs performed especially well, as air freight and passenger traffic continued to rebound.
• Other, non-sector-specific, revenue bonds represented significant investments. These issues provide further opportunities for diversification and included bonds for tourism development projects, tribal casino and gaming projects and tobacco settlement bonds.
• The Portfolio increased its exposure to the electric utilities sector. The entire electric sector was negatively impacted by the energy trading irregularities that first surfaced in 2001-2002. The market’s overreaction created what management viewed as interesting opportunities. The Portfolio has focused on companies with a sound balance sheet and a strong energy generation business.
• The Portfolio also increased its investments in selected California general obligations. With the state having addressed its budgetary woes and improved its financial picture, its general obligation debt has been upgraded from BBB to A.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, returns would be lower. (2) A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal income tax and/or alternative minimum tax. Income may be subject to state and local taxes (3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index (4) The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value (5) Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 35.0% federal income tax rate. A lower rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. (6) The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.

Eaton Vance High Yield Municipals Fund as of January 31, 2005
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 – January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.96% for Class A shares, 1.71% for Class B shares and 1.71% for Class C shares multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on July 31, 2004. The example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio.

Eaton Vance High Yield Municipals Fund as of January 31, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance High Yield Municipals Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust). The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management investment company. The Fund seeks to achieve high current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are subject to a declining contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 6). The Trustees have adopted a conversion feature pursuant to which Class B shares of the Fund automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class' paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
On September 10, 2004, the Fund received its pro rata share of cash and securities from the High Yield Municipals Portfolio (the Portfolio) in a complete liquidation of its interest in the Portfolio. Subsequent to September 10, 2004, the Fund invests directly in securities rather than through the Portfolio and maintains the same investment objective.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation - Municipal bonds are normally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Taxable obligations, if any, for which price quotations are readily available are normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Interest rate swaps are normally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a broker. Short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B Income - Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount.
C 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.
D Federal Taxes - The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable and tax-exempt income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At January 31, 2005, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $46,220,511, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareho lders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Such capital loss carryover will expire January 31, 2013 ($23,032,311), January 31, 2012 ($707,905), January 31, 2011 ($12,893,267), January 31, 2010 ($628,329), January 31, 2009 ($4,844,026), January 31, 2008 ($2,693,858), and January 31, 2006 ($1,420,815). Dividends paid by the Fund from net tax-exempt interest on municipal bonds are not includable by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes because the Fund intends to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies which will enable the Fund to pay exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
Additionally, at January 31, 2005, the Fund had net capital losses of $6,370,032 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2004. These are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's taxable year ended January 31, 2006.
E Financial Futures Contracts - Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit (initial margin) either in cash or securities an
17
Eaton Vance High Yield Municipals Fund as of January 31, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. The Fund's investment in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
F Interest Rate Swaps - The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. Pursuant to these agreements the Fund makes bi-annual payments at a fixed interest rate. In exchange, the Fund receives payments based on the interest rate of a benchmark industry index. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Fund is exposed to credit los s in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. However, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates.
G Legal Fees - Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirements of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of or a plan of reorganization for an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
H When-issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions - The Fund may engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin accruing interest on settlement date.
I Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian to the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances the Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of operating expenses on the Statement of Operations.
J 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.
K 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 Fund and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
L Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification of securities sold.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net income of the Fund is determined daily, and substantially all of the net income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains, if any, are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date. Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares of the same class or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash. The Fund distinguishes 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 fi nancial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.

During the year ended January 31, 2005, accumulated paid-in capital was decreased by $127, net investment loss was increased by $595,893, and accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $596,020 primarily due to differences between book and tax accounting for investment transactions.

4 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the 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 sales of securities). For the period from February 1, 2004 to September 10, 2004, the advisory fee allocated from the Portfolio amounted to $2,030,688, representing 0.59% (annualized) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the period from September 11, 2004 to January 31, 2005, the Fund's advisory fee amounted to $1,344,829, representing 0.60% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of those activities. For the year ended January 31, 2005, EVM earned $18,933 in sub-transfer agent fees.

Eaton Vance High Yield Municipals Fund as of January 31, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM and the Fund's principal underwriter, received $110,441 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended January 31, 2005.
Except as to Trustees of the Fund who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee earned by BMR. Trustees of the Fund 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 January 31, 2005, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
5 Distribution and Service Plans
The Fund 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 Investment Company Act of 1940 and a service plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) (collectively, the Plans). The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay amounts equal to 1/365 of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The 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 the Fund for the Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the r ate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 6) and daily amounts theretofore paid to EVD by each respective class. The Fund paid or accrued $1,318,647 and $681,783 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, to or payable to EVD for the year ended January 31, 2005, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets for Class B and Class C shares. At January 31, 2005, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Plan was approximately $18,304,000 and $9,784,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
The Plans authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, investment dealers and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, and Class C shares for each fiscal year. Service fee payments will be made for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable by the Fund to EVD and, as such are not subject to automatic discontinuance where there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fee payments for the year ended January 31, 2005 amounted to $759,045, $439,549, and $227,261 for Class A, Class B, and Class C shares, respectively.
6 Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. 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. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase (depending upon the circumstances of purchase). The Class B CDSC is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares will be 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 affil iates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSC charges are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund's Distribution Plan (see Note 5). CDSC charges received when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to the Fund. EVD received approximately $70,000, $305,000 and $42,000 of CDSC paid by shareholders for Class A, Class B shares and Class C shares, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2005.
7 Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments by the Portfolio, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term obligations, aggregated $291,728,182 and $225,549,004, respectively, for the period from February 1, 2004 to September 10, 2004. Purchases and sales of investments by the Fund, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $93,262,722 and $59,386,659, respectively, for the period from September 11, 2004 to January 31, 2005.

Gross unrealized depreciation | (19,215,700 | ) | |||||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 31,298,231 |
9 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and EVM and its affiliates in a $150 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2005.
10 Financial Instruments
The Fund regularly trades in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include futures contracts and interest rate swap 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 the 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 January 31, 2005 is as follows:
Futures Contracts | |||||||||||||||||||||||

$ | (5,284,643 | ) |
At January 31, 2005, the Fund has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc. whereby the Fund will make semi-annual payments at a fixed rate equal to 5.1225% on the current notional amount of $25,000,000. The effective date of the swap is February 7, 2005. In exchange, the Fund will receive quarterly payments equal to the three-month USD-LIBOR on the same notional amount. The value of the contract, which terminates on February 7, 2015, is recorded as a payable for open swap contracts of $1,214,868 at January 31, 2005.
At January 31, 2005, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust'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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 proc edures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 position of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipals Fund as of January 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its 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.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant (the “Pre-Approval Policies”). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the audit committee in the proper discharge f its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees. 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.
(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the registrant’s audit committee pursuant to the “de minimis exception” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.

(1) Includes all of the Series of the Trust.
(2) The investment adviser to the registrant, as well as any of its affiliates that provide ongoing services to the registrant, are subsidiaries of Eaton Vance Corp.
(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
