                                 To Shareholders

The global economy continues to demonstrate a pattern of slow growth with low
inflation. The U.S. economy is no exception, as Gross Domestic Product should
grow only modestly during 1995 at between 2% and 3%, with inflation of less than
3%. These characteristics bode well for all capital markets and particularly
fixed income markets, including municipal bonds.

Indeed, municipal bonds performed well during the first half of 1995 by
realizing strong capital appreciation as a result of this favorable investment
environment. However, during this period the municipal market underperformed the
taxable market because of concern about the potential passage of major tax
reform (e.g., flat tax, value added tax or consumption tax) legislation.

Were major tax reform to become law, municipal bonds would probably be
underperformers relative to taxable bonds because the current tax-advantaged
status of municipal bonds likely would be eliminated.

However, we at Eaton Vance believe there is little chance of major tax reform
legislation being enacted. Many factors have led us to this conclusion. For
example, the inherent regressivity of the various flat tax proposals will
provoke much opposition, as will proposals to eliminate such tax breaks as
deductions for mortgage interest and state and local taxes. Also, such proposals
could seriously depress entire sectors of the U.S. economy.

Accordingly, we view this recent underperformance by municipal bonds (because of
fears of tax reform) as a potential buying opportunity. Municipal bonds could
represent an attractive asset class at these current relative trading
relationships, with the potential for future outperformance for those investors
willing to adopt a patient, long-term investment horizon.

In addition, proposals are now circulating in both Congress and the White House
to reduce the nation's budget deficit by severely cutting expenditures over the
next decade. If enacted, such a concept would drastically reduce the federal
government's borrowing needs and, as a result, would exert a meaningful downward
influence on interest rates across the entire yield curve. All fixed-income
instruments, including municipal bonds, would benefit.

We will continue to monitor changes in economic and political conditions and to
pursue the goal of your Fund: to provide you with a competitive distribution of
tax-free income from a portfolio of quality municipal bonds.+

*Percentages represent the amounts of the total dividends paid by the Funds from
net investment income during the year ended August 31, 1995, that have been
designated as exempt-interest dividends. Tax legislation eliminated the
exception to market discount rules applicable to tax-exempt obligations. As a
result, certain tax-exempt obligations acquired by the Portfolio subsequent to
April 30, 1993, at market discounts may generate a small amount of ordinary
taxable income.

Included on the pages that follow are performance charts that compare your
Fund's total return with that of a broad-based securities market index. The
lines on the chart represent the total returns of $10,000 hypothetical
investments in your Fund and the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.
The solid line on the chart represents the Fund's performance. The Fund's total
return figure reflects fund expenses and portfolio transaction costs, and
assumes the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions. The
dotted line represents the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index, a broad-based, widely recognized unmanaged index of municipal bonds.
Whereas the Fund's portfolio is comprised principally of bonds solely from your
individual state, the Index is composed of bonds from all 50 states and many
jurisdictions. The Index's total return does not reflect any commissions or
expenses that would be incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold
the securities represented in the Index.

YOUR INVESTMENT AT WORK

City of Scottsboro
Water, Sewer and Gas Bonds

These bonds were used to allow the City of Scottsboro to extend and improve its
natural gas distribution system and to improve its sanitary sewer system.

The improvements included collection and transmission mains that allow the sewer
system to serve additional customers. Similarly, improvements to the natural gas
distribution system give it the capacity to accommodate new customers. The bond
issue also provided funds to purchase related equipment and to expand the office
operated by the city's Waterworks, Sewer and Gas Board.

The bonds, totaling $6 million, were issued in 1994.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Alabama

Alabama's state government has put a great deal of effort into diversifying the
state's economy in recent years. Those efforts have met with some success, led
by the development of the high technology sector, primarily in the Huntsville
area. In terms of employment, manufacturing continues to be the largest sector,
with the service sector experiencing some growth in urban areas.

Since adoption of the state's economic development plan in 1993, more than 50
companies have invested a total of more than $2.2 billion in Alabama. The
largest project to date is the Mercedes Benz manufacturing facility that will
build the company's sport utility vehicle. The assembly plant is located in
Vance, in Tuscaloosa County, and is expected to open in 1997.

Employment levels, which traditionally were higher than the national average,
have been approximately equal to the national average during the last three
years.

The economic forecast for Alabama is for only moderate growth. The state's
conservative economic policies have kept its budgets in balance.

"The bond market has had a nice upward run during late 1994 and through the
middle of 1995. As a result, we're shifting our emphasis from capital
appreciation to more of a balanced approach because we believe the good total
return will come from a mixture of coupon income and price appreciation.

"We believe that over the long term, the outlook for municipal bonds is
positive. While concerns over dramatic tax reform have depressed the market, it
is hard to imagine an approved reform package that will be as extreme as the
plans now being discussed.

"As part of our efforts to provide a diverse selection of bonds in the Alabama
Portfolio, we have diversified away from a large representation in the hospital
sector."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Arkansas

The Arkansas economy is relatively diverse and is led by the manufacturing,
service and trade sectors. Manufacturing is the largest of the three, employing
25% of the state's workforce. Unemployment, however, has remained above the
national average.

The state's food processing industry has given a boost to the state's economic
performance. Four of the nation's biggest poultry processors are located in
Arkansas, including Tyson Foods, Inc., which has more than 18,000 employees in
the state and is expanding a poultry processing center.

The state's main revenue sources -- sales and use, individual income, and
corporate income taxes, all have been raised in recent years. Another factor in
the state's fiscal stability has been its revenue stabilization law. This law,
enacted in 1973, prohibits expenditures from exceeding revenues during any
fiscal year. Arkansas also is considered to have a very low public debt burden.

In the near future, the construction industry, stimulated by population growth,
is likely to provide additional job growth and strength to the state's economy.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF TIMOTHY T. BROWSE]

"The supply of Arkansas bonds is limited. We take advantage of the ebbs and
flows of supply and demand by buying larger blocks of bonds in the new issue
market, when they are relatively attractive and more readily available and, over
time, reselling them in smaller pieces as the supply dries up.

"We remain optimistic about the future of the municipal bond market. While
worries about the possibility of dramatic tax reform have depressed the market,
it is difficult to conceive of an approved tax reform package that will be as
extreme as the plans now being discussed. The lessening of these fears, coupled
with the ever-decreasing supply of bonds, should produce a positive picture for
municipals bonds in the future."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Georgia

Georgia recovered quickly from the recession of the early 1990s and is
demonstrating strong economic growth as the decade continues.

As a regional center, Atlanta has led the state's growth. According to the Selig
Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia, Atlanta accounts for
half the state's employment base, but creates seven out of ten of the state's
new jobs. The Atlanta area is also benefiting from the current construction boom
in preparation for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, as well as economic activity
generated by the Games themselves.

State population is growing at about twice the national average. Employment
trends also have been positive and the state's unemployment rate stands
significantly below the national rate. The Selig Center estimates that
employment will rise 3.5% in 1995 and 3.2% in 1996. Many of the jobs will be in
the service, wholesale and retail sectors. No sector is expected to lose jobs.

The Georgia state budget for the 1995 fiscal year is balanced. Although state
debt has grown in recent years, the state's debt position is considered good.

"The Olympics will help the economic base of the Atlanta area, which should, in
turn, support the credit quality of local borrowers. 

"We continue to watch the hospital sector as the health care industry continues
to consolidate. Our goal is to avoid bonds issued by hospitals that are left out
of the consolidation and affiliation process.

"We continue to believe that over the long term, the outlook for municipal bonds
is favorable. Tax reform of the type that would impair or eliminate the
franchise of municipal bonds is unlikely."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Kentucky

Kentucky has aggressively pursued economic growth during the 1990s. As a result,
the commonwealth has become more attractive as a location for businesses because
of legislation passed in 1990 that expanded the commonwealth's General Fund to
finance education reform. This tends to give employers confidence that they will
have access to a well-trained workforce in the future.

Kentucky has seen a fairly rapid rate of growth in its service sector in recent
years, with both the service and trade sectors contributing larger shares to its
economy than manufacturing or coal mining.

Among the major recent projects are the Delta Airlines Inc. expansion of its
facilities at the Cincinnati Airport. Delta has spent $300 million to establish
a hub at the airport.

Another area of strength has been the automotive industry. Toyota Motor Corp.
added 1,500 jobs through an expansion of its manufacturing facility near
Georgetown. Ford Motor Co. has committed to a $650 million expansion of its
truck plant in Louisville.

It is expected that growth in the state's economy will slow somewhat during the
remainder of the decade. Still, that growth should continue at a rate higher 
than the national average.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF TIMOTHY T. BROWSE]

"In managing the Portfolio, we are shifting our emphasis more toward adding
yield throughout all sectors because we believe the total return will come from
a balance of coupon income and price appreciation.

"Although quality spreads are tight for higher-grade bonds, we feel there are
opportunities in the nonrated and private placement sectors. These are extremely
research-intensive investments and are a way that we look to add value to the
Portfolio."

"This value-added research plus what we feel is an undervalued municipal bond
market because of tax reform concerns give us confidence in the Portfolio's
prospects going forward."

Bastrop City Industrial
Development Board
International Paper Co.

The proceeds from these bonds were used to finance solid waste disposal
facilities, including a landfill cell, for International Paper's Louisiana mill,
located inBastrop.

These are tax-exempt bonds backed by a corporate guarantor, International Paper.
Because they carry the company's guarantee, the bonds are rated A3/A-.

One aspect of this purchase that we particularly liked is that these bonds add
geographic diversity to a single-state Portfolio because International Paper
runs facilities throughout the country.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Louisiana

Louisiana has suffered a recent spate of bad news; the good news is that none of
it directly affects the Louisiana Portfolio. This summer, Standard & Poor's
downgraded the state's general obligation rating from A to A-. Given both the
state's checkered past with the rating agencies and the fact that Louisiana has
been on a negative Creditwatch for almost 6 months, the downgrade was
essentially a non-event in the credit market.

The rating agency cited concerns with the state's structural budgetary balance
for the 1996 fiscal year and beyond, pivoting on the potential for significant
cuts in Federal Medicaid funds to the state. Bonds in the Portfolio are largely
insulated from the state's budget problems.

On top of the aforementioned difficulties, the Wall Street Journal recently
published an article questioning the gaming industry's ability to be an economic
savior for so many states. At the time this was written, Louisiana's gaming
industry revenues were running below expectations in 1995. Again, bonds in the
Louisiana Portfolio are not directly dependent on gaming revenues. While credit
concerns swirl around the state, we remain confident of the credit quality of
our Louisiana tax-exempt holdings.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF NICOLE ANDERES]

"The secondary bond market has provided opportunities to diversify the
Portfolio's structure and to add yield through higher coupon housing bonds.

"New issuance in Louisiana continues to be sporadic, and proposals to reform the
country's tax system, especially flat tax proposals, are having a dampening
effect on the municipal market.

"We remain convinced that any tax changes that are enacted will not be as
radical as the plans that are being talked about now. Despite this uncertainty,
1995 has given us an opportunity to recoup losses suffered in 1994."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Maryland

In terms of finances, Maryland remains one of the strongest states in the
nation. State officials are proud of its "AAA" rating and have demonstrated
their inclination to do whatever it takes to protect that rating during
difficult times.

During the 1994 fiscal year, the state's general fund revenues exceeded
estimates, a positive factor when compared to the period from 1990-1992, when
there was a revenue shortfall.

Maryland is one of the nation's most affluent states, based on median household
income. The population is concentrated in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area
and in and around Baltimore.

The state's largest employment sector is services, at more than 30%, followed by
trade and government. Manufacturing employment has declined steadily during the
last few years. Despite an increase in unemployment during the recession of the
early 1990s, Maryland's unemployment has remained below national levels. Its
rate in 1994 was 5.4%, compared to the national rate of 6.1%.

It is estimated that the state's population will continue to grow slightly and
that its economy will grow at a slow, but steady, rate.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"The Maryland Portfolio shows a heavy representation of hospital bonds. The
state's strong hospital infrastructure makes us more comfortable with holding a
large portion of the Portfolio in this sector. Over time, our goal of Portfolio
diversification may cause us to trim these hospital holdings.

" We continue to be optimistic about the municipal bond market. The market has
been depressed by worries about possible dramatic tax reform, but it's hard to
imagine an approved tax reform package as extreme as the plans now being
discussed. The lessening of these fears, coupled with the ever-decreasing supply
of bonds, should produce a positive future for municipal bonds."

The Revolving Fund, controlled by the state Department of Natural Resources and
Clean Water Commission, was established in 1987 to finance construction of
wastewater treatment facilities.

The proceeds of these bonds, issued in 1994, are used to finance the improvement
and extension of sewerage systems in a variety of communities around the state.

The participating communities comprise a diverse group, with no one city
dominating. After the offering, Duckett Creek Sewer District was expected to 
have nearly 20% of the bonds outstanding. Each city's bonds have been approved 
by voters.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Missouri

Missouri has a strong and diverse economy, with a greater-than-average
dependence on manufacturing jobs. The largest sectors are transportation
equipment, machinery and chemicals.

The largest creator of jobs and income in the state is currently the service
sector, which is responsible for one quarter of all jobs. Manufacturing accounts
for slightly less than one-fifth.

The state has continued to grow during the past 12 months, buoyed by growth in
the area of transportation equipment.

One segment of Missouri's economy that has grown significantly is tourism, led
by the city of Branson's development as a destination resort for music and
entertainment. While adding one attraction after another, this rural city has
quickly developed into one of the nation's major tourist attractions.

Missouri is expected to demonstrate continued growth in the near future.
However, it is somewhat vulnerable to any defense cutbacks, as McDonnell Douglas
Corp. is the state's largest employer.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF CYNTHIA J. CLEMSON]

"We continue to be selective when looking at hospital bonds because of the
uncertainty of the health care market throughout the U.S. This is one area in
which the contributions of our Research Department are especially important.
However, we do feel that hospital bonds can add value and diversification to the
overall Portfolio.

"The Missouri bond market continued to be characterized by low issuance. This
factor, combined with narrow quality spreads between AA-rated and insured bonds,
caused us to focus on slightly upgrading the Portfolio quality. We also balanced
a large weighting in high-quality bonds with positions in higher yielding issues
to boost the Fund's income."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: North Carolina

Having recovered well from the recession of the early 1990s, North Carolina has
continued to see significant growth throughout the decade. The state's economy
continues to be led by the manufacturing sector -- principally machinery,
textiles and furniture. However, high technology and financial services continue
to grow, rapidly with Charlotte and Raleigh developing as regional banking
centers.

In its attempts to attract new business, the state is assisted by its low wages,
the low cost of housing and what is viewed as an attractive quality of life.
North Carolina is not expected to maintain its rapid growth rate, but should
continue to grow at a rate higher than the national average.

North Carolina's conservative style of fiscal management and its low debt levels
provide long-term, fundamental credit support.

"We have kept a close watch on North Carolina utility bonds during the year. We
switched out of Catawba bonds, which are issued by the power authority serving
the western half of the state, and into bonds issued by the North Carolina
Eastern Municipal Power Authority. This strategy has resulted in additional
yield and total return performance for the Portfolio.

"We expect North Carolina bonds to hold their value, largely because new debt
issuance in the state is quite low. In fact, debt issued in the state from
January through June, 1995 is 60% lower than that of the equivalent period in
1994."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Oregon

Oregon continues to benefit from strong economic growth. The state's levels of
payroll employment have continued to increase through May.

While most employment gains have been in the service and trade sectors, the
construction sector also has been busy. Continued population growth and
relatively low office vacancy rates have caused significant residential and
commercial building activity.

In the second half of 1995, the economy is expected to be further helped by
Hyundai's plans to build a $1.3 billion computer chip plant near Eugene. When
completed, the facility is expected to employ about 900 workers.

Oregon has aggressively pursued high technology manufacturers. However, the
Yamhill County Commissioners recently rejected a proposal to grant property tax
relief for a new silicon wafer plant. It was the first rejection of such a
proposal under the state's Strategic Investment Program and demonstrates the
state's commitment to achieving balanced growth. The state's income, population
and employment growth all are expected to exceed the national average through
the remainder of the decade, though future job growth will be limited by tight
labor markets.

"The Oregon bond market is characterized by low issuance, with issuance down
over 50% year-to-date, compared to 22% nationally. This larger-than-average
decline in issuance is a result of greater-than-average issuance prior to the
1994 tax initiative ballots.

"We are continually looking for bonds that will allow us to increase the overall
call protection of the Portfolio. In part because of the lack of new issues,
this is a slow process."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: So. Carolina

South Carolina's strong growth continued during the past year, leading to a more
diverse economy that relies less on agriculture and textiles and more on the
service sector and on higher-skilled manufacturing jobs.

Business views the state as a favorable location because of its tax structure
and low cost of living. A major contributor to the state's economic growth has
been the Bavarian Motor Works manufacturing plant in Spartanburg County, which
is now operational and is expected to be running at full capacity in 1996. It is
estimated that this facility will add 4,000 direct and indirect jobs to the
state.

Future growth is likely to be focused in metropolitan areas -- Charlestown,
Columbia and Greenville. In addition, tourism in South Carolina continues to
grow.

The state still wrestles with alternatives for dealing with local property tax
burdens. One plan would gradually relieve property taxes until all such taxes
are eliminated. Another would allow voters to approve a one-cent sales tax
increase to eliminate the property tax all at once.

South Carolina benefits from conservative fiscal management and relatively low
debt. During the last year, the state has put into effect several changes to
help balance its budget and make budgeting more predictable.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF DAVID C. REILLY]

"We have remained cautious in acquiring utility bonds, a strategy that paid off
when Piedmont Municipal Power Agency was downgraded from A- to BBB in late July.
Because the Portfolio held only one Piedmont bond, we avoided most of the pain
associated with this downgrade.

"New bond issuance in South Carolina has decreased dramatically in the last
year, with the number of new issues from January through June 1995, almost 75%
less than new issuance during the previous period. This is one reason why we are
optimistic about the performance of South Carolina debt."

The bonds were issued in 1994 to refund bonds that were originally used to
finance equipment at the Saturn facility in Spring Hill. The Saturn plant was
part of a multi-billion-dollar project created by General Motors, with a goal of
developing a state-of-the-art automobile manufacturing facility.

The proceeds of the original bonds were used to purchase and install air and
water pollution control equipment and solid waste disposal facilities at the
Saturn plant. The bonds are the obligations of the Saturn Corp. and also are
backed by General Motors.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Tennessee

Tennessee's economy still relies on manufacturing, but is diversifying as the
services sector grows in size and importance. Growth has been steady during the
past several years.

The state's efforts to develop its economy continue to be rewarded. In 1992 and
1993, for example, economic development projects, including both new projects
and the expansion of existing facilities, totaled more than $2 billion annually.

Within the manufacturing sector, apparel manufacturing is the largest segment,
with automobile equipment only slightly smaller.

The state's TennCare comprehensive health care program, which relies on managed
care to reduce costs, is expected to benefit the state's economic condition in
the long run. However, initial TennCare expenses exceeded estimates and required
some budget-balancing actions during the past year.

State fiscal operations benefit from a conservative management style and
continued relatively low debt levels.

"We like to buy industrial development bonds whenever possible because they
offer an attractive combination of yield and security. Over the past year, we
have added to our positions in industrial development bonds used to finance
facilities for both Saturn and DuPont.

"Quality spreads for medium-grade bonds are very tight. As a result, we have
focused on adding both higher quality bonds and on purchasing higher yielding
bonds of slightly lower quality."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Virginia

The Virginia economy remains diversified and relatively strong. This vitality is
demonstrated by the fact that economic growth was stronger in the first quarter
of 1995 than in the last quarter of 1994.

Employment figures set new records, and employment gains were seen in all the
state's eight metropolitan areas. Military and civilian defense employment in
the state declined nearly 3% in 1994, though Virginia remained the
second-ranking state in terms of military payrolls. It is expected that the
commonwealth will continue to lose some military and military-related jobs, but
it is expected to add more than enough jobs in other areas to offset the loss.

The service sector is Virginia's largest source of employment and is expected to
be the fastest growing segment of the economy in the next few years. High
technology industries have grown considerably in the northern part of the state
in recent years. The manufacturing, tourism and technology segments are expected
to lead the state's growth in the near future.

Virginia's economic picture is aided by its conservative fiscal management and
low debt burden.

principal will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. Source: Towers Data Systems,

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF DAVID C. REILLY]

"The health care industry continues to go through a consolidation, with
hospitals forming alliances with health maintenance organizations or merging
with other institutions.

"We feel that the hospitals that are left out of this consolidation may face a
shaky future, and as a result we continue to watch the hospital sector closely.

"We believe that the long-term future of municipal, bonds is strong. On a simple
supply-and-demand basis, their value should be enhanced by the fact that fewer
new bonds are being issued now than previously."

                                - David C. Reilly

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust (the Trust) is an entity of the type commonly known
as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust
presently consists of sixty-three Funds, twelve of the non-diversified funds are
included in these financial statements. They include EV Marathon Alabama Tax
Free Fund ("Marathon Alabama Fund"), EV Marathon Arkansas Tax Free Fund
("Marathon Arkansas Fund"), EV Marathon Georgia Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Georgia
Fund"), EV Marathon Kentucky Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Kentucky Fund"), EV
Marathon Louisiana Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Louisiana Fund"), EV Marathon
Maryland Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Maryland Fund"), EV Marathon Missouri Tax Free
Fund ("Marathon Missouri Fund"), EV Marathon North Carolina Tax Free Fund
("Marathon North Carolina Fund"), EV Marathon Oregon Tax Free Fund ("Marathon
Oregon Fund"), EV Marathon South Carolina Tax Free Fund ("Marathon South
Carolina Fund"), EV Marathon Tennessee Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Tennessee
Fund"), and EV Marathon Virginia Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Virginia Fund"). Each
Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in a separate
corresponding open-end management investment company (a Portfolio), a New York
Trust, having the same investment objective as its corresponding Fund. The
Marathon Alabama Fund invests its assets in the Alabama Tax Free Portfolio, the
Marathon Arkansas Fund invests its assets in the Arkansas Tax Free Portfolio,
the Marathon Georgia Fund invests its assets in the Georgia Tax Free Portfolio,
the Marathon Kentucky Fund invests its assets in the Kentucky Tax Free
Portfolio, the Marathon Louisiana Fund invests its assets in the Louisiana Tax
Free Portfolio, the Marathon Maryland Fund invests its assets in the Maryland
Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon Missouri Fund invests its assets in the
Missouri Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon North Carolina Fund invests its assets
in the North Carolina Portfolio, the Marathon Oregon Fund invests its assets in
the Oregon Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon South Carolina Fund invests its
assets in the South Carolina Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon Tennessee Fund
invests its assets in the Tennessee Tax Free Portfolio, and the Marathon
Virginia Fund invests its assets in the Virginia Tax Free Portfolio. The value
of each Fund's investment in its corresponding Portfolio reflects the Fund's
proportionate interest in the net assets of that Portfolio (92.0%, 99.4%, 98.0%,
98.8%, 92.9%, 99.2%, 96.6%, 96.9%, 99.3%, 98.0%, 98.2%, and 99.2%, at August 31,
1995 for the Marathon Alabama Fund, Marathon Arkansas Fund, Marathon Georgia
Fund, Marathon Kentucky Fund, Marathon Louisiana Fund, Marathon Maryland Fund,
Marathon Missouri Fund, Marathon North Carolina Fund, Marathon Oregon Fund,
Marathon South Carolina Fund, Marathon Tennessee Fund, and Marathon Virginia
Fund, respectively). The performance of each Fund is directly affected by the
performance of its corresponding Portfolio. The financial statements of each
Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in
this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund's financial
statements. 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 generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
A. INVESTMENT VALUATION--Valuation of securities by the Portfolios is discussed
in Note 1 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are included
elsewhere in this report.
 
B. INCOME--Each Fund's net investment income consists of the Fund's pro rata
share of the net investment income of its corresponding Portfolio, less all
actual and accrued expenses of each Fund determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
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 August 31, 1995, 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 the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the
amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary
to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax.

Additionally, at August 31, 1995, net capital losses of $2,346,219, $2,200,443,
$7,532,174, $2,762,731, $1,537,797, $2,993,588, $2,917,460, $7,411,597,

Fund, Marathon Arkansas Fund, Marathon Georgia Fund, Marathon Kentucky Fund,
Marathon Louisiana Fund, Marathon Maryland Fund, Marathon Missouri Fund,
Marathon North Carolina Fund, Marathon Oregon Fund, Marathon South Carolina
Fund, Marathon Tennessee Fund, and Marathon Virginia Fund, respectively,
attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1994, are
treated as arising on the first day of the Funds' next taxable year. Dividends
paid by each Fund from net interest on tax-exempt municipal bonds allocated from
its corresponding Portfolio are not includable by shareholders as gross income
for federal income tax purposes because each Fund and Portfolio intend 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.
 
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES--Costs incurred by each Fund in connection
with its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on the
straight-line basis over five years beginning on the date each Fund commenced
operations.
 
E. DISTRIBUTION COSTS--For book purposes, commissions paid on the sale of Fund
shares and other distribution costs are charged to operations. As a result of a
recent Internal Revenue Service ruling, the Funds changed their tax accounting
for commissions paid from charging the expense to paid-in capital to charging
the expense to operations. The change had no effect on either the Fund's current
yield or total return (Notes 2 and 5).
 
F. RECLASSIFICATION--Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
 
G. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(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 paid monthly. Distributions of allocated
realized capital gains, if any, are made at least annually. Shareholders may
reinvest capital gain distributions in additional shares of a Fund at the net
asset value as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions are paid in the form of
additional shares or, at the election of the shareholders, in cash. The Funds
distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting
basis. Generally accepted accounting principles require that only distributions
in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial
statements as a return of capital. Differences in the recognition or
classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and
profits which result in temporary over distributions for financial statements
purposes

are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or
accumulated net realized gains. Permanent differences between book and tax
accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
 
During the year ended August 31, 1995, the following reclassifications were made
due to permanent differences between book and tax accounting for distribution
costs and certain distributions related to capital gains:

(4) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of each Fund, but
receives no compensation. The portfolios have engaged Boston Management and
Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See
Note 2 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are included
elsewhere in this report. Except as to Trustees of the Funds and the Portfolios
who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees
receive remuneration for their services to each Fund out of such investment
adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM, serves
as custodian to the Funds and the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective
custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined
based on the average cash balances the Funds or the Portfolios maintain with
IBT. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds and Portfolios are
officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations (Note 5).
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(5) DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plans require the Funds to pay the
principal underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), amounts equal to
1/365 of 0.75% of each Fund's daily net assets, for providing ongoing
distribution services and facilities to the respective Fund. A 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 shares sold plus (ii)
distribution fees 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 (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 Fund and, accordingly,
reduces the Fund's net assets. For the year ended August 31, 1995, Marathon
Alabama Fund, Marathon Arkansas Fund, Marathon Georgia Fund, Marathon Kentucky
Fund, Marathon Louisiana Fund, Marathon Maryland Fund, Marathon Missouri Fund,
Marathon North Carolina Fund, Marathon Oregon Fund, Marathon South Carolina
Fund, Marathon Tennessee Fund, and Marathon Virginia Fund, paid or accrued
$788,932, $602,799, $931,910, $1,048,842, $224,688, $845,760, $667,042,
$1,405,043, $1,083,821, $442,983, $414,636 and $1,415,731, respectively, to or
payable to EVD, representing 0.75% (annualized) of average daily net assets. At
August 31, 1995, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated
under the Plans for Marathon Alabama Fund, Marathon Arkansas Fund, Marathon
Georgia Fund, Marathon Kentucky Fund, Marathon Louisiana Fund, Marathon Maryland
Fund, Marathon Missouri Fund, Marathon North Carolina Fund, Marathon Oregon
Fund, Marathon South Carolina Fund, Marathon Tennessee Fund, and Marathon
Virginia Fund were approximately $4,287,000, $3,364,000, $4,634,000, $5,401,000,
$1,388,000, $4,520,000, $3,461,000, $7,188,000, $5,529,000, $2,527,000,
$2,357,000 and $7,026,000, respectively.
 
In addition, the Plans authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to
the Principal Underwriter, Authorized Firms and other persons in amounts not
exceeding 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets for any fiscal year. The
Trustees' have initially implemented the Plans by authorizing the Funds to make
quarterly service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter and Authorized Firms
in amounts not expected to exceed 0.20% per annum of each Fund's average daily
net assets based on the value of Fund shares sold by such persons and remaining
outstanding for at least one year. For the year ended August 31, 1995, Marathon
Alabama Fund, Marathon Arkansas Fund, Marathon Georgia Fund, Marathon Kentucky
Fund, Marathon Louisiana Fund, Marathon Maryland Fund, Marathon Missouri Fund,
Marathon North Carolina Fund, Marathon Oregon Fund, Marathon South Carolina
Fund, Marathon Tennessee Fund and Marathon Virginia Fund paid or accrued service
fees to or payable to EVD in the amount of $147,549, $108,567, $178,805,
$201,042, $35,864, $153,640, $131,396, $285,584, $199,608, $78,666, $67,857 and
$271,986, respectively. Service fee payments are made for personal services
and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees paid to EVD and
authorized firms 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.
 
Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers or directors of EVD.

(6) CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is imposed on any redemption of Fund
shares made within six years 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 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 EVD or its affiliates or to their respective employees or
clients. CDSC charges are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered
Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund's Distribution Plan. CDSC charges
received when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to the
Fund. EVD received approximately $328,000, $312,000, $827,000, $466,000,
$78,000, $511,000, $279,000, $575,000, $666,000, $359,000, $235,000 and
$104,000, respectively, of CDSC paid by shareholders of Marathon Alabama Fund,
Marathon Arkansas Fund, Marathon Georgia Fund, Marathon Kentucky Fund, Marathon
Louisiana Fund, Marathon Maryland Fund, Marathon Missouri Fund, Marathon North
Carolina Fund, Marathon Oregon Fund, Marathon South Carolina Fund, Marathon
Tennessee Fund and Marathon Virginia Fund, respectively, for the year ended
August 31, 1995.

                          Independent Auditors' Report
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
  EATON VANCE MUNICIPALS TRUST:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of EV
Marathon Alabama Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Arkansas Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon
Georgia Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Kentucky Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Louisiana
Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Maryland Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Missouri Tax Free
Fund, EV Marathon North Carolina Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Oregon Tax Free
Fund, EV Marathon South Carolina Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Tennessee Tax Free
Fund and EV Marathon Virginia Tax Free Fund (the Funds) (certain of the series
of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust) as of August 31, 1995, and the related
statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in
net assets for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1994 and the year ended
September 30, 1993, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the
five-year period ended August 31, 1995. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
aforementioned funds of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust at August 31, 1995, the
results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial
highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
(2) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements for open financial
    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Alabama
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at August 31, 1995, 56.7% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.5% to 27.3% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Arkansas
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 August 31, 1995, 23.4% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.7% to 6.1% of total investments.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Georgia
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 August 31, 1995, 27.8% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.8% to 15.0% of total investments.

(1) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements for open financial
    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Kentucky
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 August 31, 1995, 35.8% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 1.0% to 26.0% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Louisiana
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at August 31, 1995, 54.8% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 3.8% to 26.5% of total investments.

(2) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements for open financial
    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Maryland
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 August 31, 1995, 30.5% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 1.1% to 19.0% of total investments.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Missouri
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 August 31, 1995, 53.4% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.6% to 27.9% of total investments.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by North Carolina
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 August 31, 1995, 28.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.1% to 12.3% of total investments.

    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Oregon
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 August 31, 1995, 35.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 5.2% to 8.2% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by South Carolina
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 August 31, 1995, 35.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 1.2% to 15.8% of total investments.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
(2) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements for open financial
    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Tennessee
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 August 31, 1995, 37.7% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.8% to 20.3% of total investments.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Virginia
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 August 31, 1995, 18.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.7% to 8.7% of total investments.

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Alabama Tax Free Portfolio (Alabama Portfolio), Arkansas Tax Free Portfolio
(Arkansas Portfolio), Georgia Tax Free Portfolio (Georgia Portfolio), Kentucky
Tax Free Portfolio (Kentucky Portfolio), Louisiana Tax Free Portfolio (Louisiana
Portfolio), Maryland Tax Free Portfolio (Maryland Portfolio), Missouri Tax Free
Portfolio (Missouri Portfolio), North Carolina Tax Free Portfolio (North
Carolina Portfolio), Oregon Tax Free Portfolio (Oregon Portfolio), South
Carolina Tax Free Portfolio (South Carolina Portfolio), Tennessee Tax Free
Portfolio (Tennessee Portfolio) and Virginia Tax Free Portfolio (Virginia
Portfolio), collectively the Portfolios, are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as non-diversified open-end management investment companies
which were organized as trusts under the laws of the State of New York on May 1,
1992. The Declarations of Trust permit the Trustees to issue interests in the
Portfolios. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the
Portfolios. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
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 listed on commodity
exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. 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 when required for federal
income tax purposes.
 
C. INCOME TAXES--The Portfolios are treated as partnerships for Federal tax
purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolios for federal or state taxes on
any taxable income of the Portfolios because each investor in the Portfolio is
ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes. Since some of the
Portfolios' investors are regulated investment companies that invest all or
substantially all of their assets in the Portfolios, the Portfolios normally
must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements
(under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for their respective investors to
satisfy them. The Portfolios will allocate at least annually among their
respective investors each investor's distributive share of the Portfolios' net
taxable (if any) and tax-exempt investment income, net realized capital gains,
and any other items of income, gain, loss, deductions or credit. Interest income
received by the Portfolios on investments in municipal bonds, which is
excludable from gross income under the Internal Revenue Code, will retain its
status as income exempt from federal income tax when allocated to each
Portfolio's investors. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private
activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference
item for investors.
 
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES--Costs incurred by a Portfolio in connection
with its organization are being amortized on the straight-line basis over five
years beginning on the date each Portfolio commenced operations.
 
E. FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS--Upon the entering of a financial futures
contract, a Portfolio 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 Portfolio ("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 Portfolio. A Portfolio's investment
in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated
future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, a
Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures
contract and may realize a loss.
 
F. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Portfolios may engage in
when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Portfolios record when-issued
securities on trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient
liquid assets will be available to make payment 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.
 
G. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

(2) 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 Portfolio.
 
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 year ended August 31, 1995, each Portfolio paid advisory fees as
follows:

* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets.
 
To enhance the net income of the Louisiana Portfolio, BMR made a partial
reduction in its fee in the amount of $36,188 for the year ended August 31,
1995.
 
Except as to Trustees of the Portfolios who are not members of EVM's or BMR's
organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to
the Portfolios out of such investment adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust
Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM and BMR, serves as custodian of the
Portfolios. Pursuant to the custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by
credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances each
Portfolio maintains with IBT. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the
Portfolios are officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations.
Trustees of the Portfolios 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 August 31, 1995, no significant amounts have been deferred.

(5) LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM in a $120 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The line
of credit consists of a $20 million committed facility and a $100 million
discretionary facility. Each Portfolio may temporarily borrow up to 5% of its
total assets to satisfy redemption requests or settle transactions. Interest is
charged to each portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an amount above
either the bank's adjusted certificate of deposit rate, a variable adjusted
certificate of deposit rate, or a federal funds effective rate. In addition, a
fee computed at an annual rate of 1/4 of 1% on the $20 million committed
facility and on the daily unused portion of the $100 million discretionary
facility is allocated among the participating funds and portfolios at the end of
each quarter. At August 31, 1995, the Alabama Portfolio, Arkansas Portfolio,
Maryland Portfolio, Missouri Portfolio and Virginia Portfolio had balances
outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $103,000, $444,000, $603,000,
$524,000 and $795,000, respectively. For the Louisiana Portfolio the average
daily loan balance for the year ended August 31, 1995 was $526,873 and the
average daily interest rate was 7.17%. The maximum borrowings during the year
ended August 31, 1995 was $1,803,000. The Portfolios, exclusive of the Louisiana
Portfolio, did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the
year ended August 31, 1995.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Portfolios regularly trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of their investing activities to assist in managing
exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written
options and 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 Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and
does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The
measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only
when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
 
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at August 31, 1995 is
as follows:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Alabama Tax Free Portfolio, Arkansas Tax Free
Portfolio, Georgia Tax Free Portfolio, Kentucky Tax Free Portfolio, Louisiana
Tax Free Portfolio, Maryland Tax Free Portfolio, Missouri Tax Free Portfolio,
North Carolina Tax Free Portfolio, Oregon Tax Free Portfolio, South Carolina Tax
Free Portfolio, Tennessee Tax Free Portfolio and Virginia Tax Free Portfolio as
of August 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the supplementary data for
the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1994 and the year ended September 30, 1993.
These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the
Trusts' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial
statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary
data are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at August
31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were
not received from brokers, we performed other audit procedures. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements and supplementary data present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Alabama Tax Free Portfolio,
Arkansas Tax Free Portfolio, Georgia Tax Free Portfolio, Kentucky Tax Free
Portfolio, Louisiana Tax Free Portfolio, Maryland Tax Free Portfolio, Missouri
Tax Free Portfolio, North Carolina Tax Free Portfolio, Oregon Tax Free
Portfolio, South Carolina Tax Free Portfolio, Tennessee Tax Free Portfolio and
Virginia Tax Free Portfolio at August 31, 1995, the results of their operations,
the changes in their net assets and their supplementary data for the respective
stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
