To Shareholders:

The municipal bond market rallied strongly throughout 1995, gaining back most of
the losses of the previous year. Twice during the year, the Federal Reserve
lowered short-term interest rates, further buoying the market.

Realistically, it may be difficult for the market to match last year's gains.
Still, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the municipal bond market
in 1996 and to believe that an investment in municipal bonds represents very
good value and should be a part of a wise investor's fixed-income portfolio.+

The U.S. economy continues in its favorable pattern of slow growth and low
inflation, which is a good environment for the municipal bond market.

During 1995 the municipal market underperformed the taxable market because of
concern about the possible passage of major tax reform legislation. While such
concerns are likely to persist this year, we at Eaton Vance continue to believe
there is little chance that significant reform, in the form of a flat tax,
consumption tax or value-added tax, will be enacted in the foreseeable future.
While flat tax and other reform proposals will be debated, especially during the
Presidential campaigns, they are so controversial and sweeping that we believe
the process needed to secure agreement and subsequent passage of a plan is, at
best, years away.

At the same time, the Presidential campaigns could provide impetus to proposals
that should prove favorable to the bond market. Any positive result in this area
is likely to provide additional momentum to the bond market through fiscal
restraint and, therefore, lower yields.

These factors have combined to produce a significant opportunity for municipal
bond investors. To the extent that fears about tax reform depress prices,
investors can enter the market at a discount. To the extent that budget reform
measures lessen the Federal government's borrowing needs, investors may be
expected to reap the rewards through a strengthening bond market.

As always, achieving investment rewards depends on an investor's willingness to
adopt a long-term investment horizon. That's why we at Eaton Vance believe
patience is a major key to successful investing.

EV Traditional California Municipals Fund

THE STATE OF THE STATE: California

California's economy seems to be continuing its slow improvement from the
recession that began in 1990. The state benefits from a growing population and
diverse employment base. Despite the loss of high-paying aerospace jobs in
recent years, the state's job growth is expected to be twice that at the
national level in 1996.

Overall, job increases have been led by gains in construction, electronics,
tourism, business services, international trade and entertainment.

Despite the state's recent problems, the economic outlook is generally
favorable. The economic turnaround is expected to be created in part by growth
in the state's sizable high-technology sector. For example, it is predicted that
personal income will rise significantly during the mid 1990s, which should
continue to elevate state revenue collections. Revenues have already improved
significantly, running 3% above estimates for the current fiscal year. That is
likely to produce a $1 billion surplus at fiscal year-end.

San Bernardino, CA
Joint Power Financing Authority
Lease Revenue Bond

The California Department of Transportation builds and maintains the state's
highway system. The proceeds of this bond issue will be used to build an office
building and parking facility in San Bernardino for the use of Department
employees. The new building will allow the Department to consolidate 1,200
employees currently working in higher-priced, rented buildings.

The bonds are expected to benefit from California's continued rebound from
recession. California has regained all of the jobs lost from the recession of
the early 1990s and has successfully diversified from the aerospace and defense
industries into entertainment, electronics and apparel. The Department of
Transportation will be responsible for making the lease payments that back
interest payments on the bonds.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF CYNTHIA J. CLEMSON]

"The California municipal market has been characterized by relatively low
supply. As a result, insured bonds have, at times, traded at rich levels
relative to the overall market. In a difficult bond environment, I've used those
occasions as an opportunity to trade out of insured par bonds and into discount
and premium bonds. With the economy giving conflicting signals in recent months,
I've pursued a barbell approach within the Portfolio. At one end of the barbell,
premium bonds increase the income to the Portfolio while providing some
defensive characteristics in the event of a rate reversal. At the other end of
the spectrum, discount bonds are more sensitive to interest rate movements and
provide some potential for capital appreciation if rates decline.

"I've added some non-rated bonds to the Portfolio, which often provide good
opportunities in terms of income and as strong credits. I've also focused on
improving the Portfolio's call protection, which has become an increasingly
important market criterion in the past year."

EV Traditional Florida Municipals Fund

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Florida

Florida continues to rank among the southeastern region's growth leaders.
Despite a slight slowdown in economic activity in 1995, the state's economy
expanded at a faster pace than the national rate, resulting in good employment
growth.

While Florida's population gains have eased from the blistering 2.9% pace of the
1980s, the state remains a favorite retirement destination and continues to
benefit from a large migration from northern states. The tourism industry
performed erratically in 1995, but has strengthened in recent months and remains
a major source of service sector employment. The service, trade and construction
sectors together account for 64% of the state's employment.

Like many states, the lack of a federal budget and growing social service
expeditures add a degree of uncertainty to the financial picture. However,
rising investment returns in 1995 and 1996 have boosted the state's per capita
income growth. And, importantly, Florida has benefited from a growing revenue
base, especially from rising corporate, sales and use-tax revenues. Moreover,
the state's well-managed financial program and excellent economic performance
have contributed to credit stability.

Jacksonville Electric Authority
Bulk Power Supply System
Scherer 4 Project

The Authority is a public body established in 1968 to own and manage the
electric utility which the City of Jacksonville owned since 1895. As of 1992,
the Authority served approximately 305,000 customers in a service area covering
most of the city.

The Authority's electric system includes generation, transmission,
interconnection and distribution facilities. Generating facilities, located at
three plants in the city, consist of nine steam-turbine generator units and
seven combustion-turbine generator units, all of which are oil/gas-fired.

The proceeds of this bond issue were used to acquire an initial interest in the
Robert W. Scherer Electric Generating Plant, a coal-fired, steam electric
generating station located near Forsyth, Ga. The Authority is entitled to 17.7%
of the capacity of the plant on a take-or-pay basis. The bonds, which represent
the Portfolio's largest single holding, are rated Aa1/AA by Moody's and Standard
& Poor's and have a 5.25% coupon.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF THOMAS J. FETTER]

"The bond market has proved difficult in 1996 as interest rates have moved
significantly higher since the first of the year. In an uncertain environment,
I've continued a barbell approach for the Portfolio, which includes some
defensive characteristics but also provides some upside potential in the event
rates turn lower. Housing bonds represented especially good value and improved
the Fund's income.

"The continued migration of transferees and retirees to Florida in recent years
has been accompanied by a massive program of infrastructure building. Financing
needs associated with these projects have required a large issuance of revenue
bonds. These bonds have been tied to a wide array of projects, such as water and
sewer or transportation facilities. The periodic infusions of bonds into the
market have provided us opportunities to invest in these sectors at very
attractive yield levels. Finally, we have focused on liquidity. Insured bonds
compose a large portion of the Portfolio, which helps improve liquidity. And of
course, we maintained the Portfolio's long-held focus on call protection in
order to avert a disruption in the Fund's high current income."

EV Traditional Massachusetts Municipals Fund

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Massachusetts

The Massachusetts economic recovery that began in 1992 has continued through the
middle of the decade. Like many other states, Massachusetts lost manufacturing
jobs but gained jobs in the service sector, including the finance, real estate
and insurance industries.

The overall state economy has shown considerable strength. For example, the
Commonwealth announced a February 1996 unemployment rate of 5.0%, down from 5.1%
in January, and better than the national rate of 5.5% in February. The
Massachusetts payroll survey in February showed an increase of more than 48,000
jobs from February 1995.

Changes in the high technology and health care industries, both of which are
part of the core of the Massachusetts economy, could cause growth in the
Commonwealth's economy to fall behind the national pace through the remainder of
the decade. However, it is expected that job gains will be seen in the software,
education and biotechnology sectors.

Massachusetts' finances continue to be stable, though still burdened with high
debt levels. However, as a measure of the progress made in recent years,
Massachusetts now enjoys a rating of A1/A+, a major improvement from the Baa/BBB
ratings of 1991.

Industrial Finance Authority 
Phillips Academy

Phillips Academy is a nationally-known, four-year, private high school. Founded
in 1778 as a school for boys, Phillips merged in 1973 with Abbot Female Academy,
a girls' boarding school.

In 1993, the school's enrollment totaled more than 1,200 students. Its 500-acre
campus includes 163 buildings, 800 dormitory rooms, 112 classrooms, a library,
two museums, eight science laboratories and two theaters.

This 1993 bond issue provided funds for Phillips Academy to undertake a campus
renewal project designed to provide maintenance that had been deferred in the
past.

Among the projects financed by the program were renovations of various
buildings, including dormitories, completion of electrical and
telecommunications systems, improvements to faculty housing, including removing
lead paint from those buildings, and updates of some academic buildings.

"I've continued to pare back the Portfolio's hospital exposure because of the
ongoing changes in the healthcare industry. The Portfolio has focused on a
relative handful of hospitals that have good demographics and that focus on
medical specialties that will ensure continued revenue growth.

"We've owned a fairly large amount of Massachusetts Water Resources Authority
bonds, which were issued in part for the Boston Harbor clean-up. The Authority
has managed the project well and has received favorable court rulings that will
save millions in additional clean-up costs. Elsewhere, we continued to limit our
exposure to local general obligations. Pressures from Proposition 2 1/2 are
mounting on many communities, which could lead to ratings downgrades in the
future. Finally, improving call protection continued to be an important theme
for the Portfolio. As bonds are called investors typically must reinvest at less
attractive yields. Maintaining a good average call protection helps avoid an
untimely interruption of income."

EV Traditional Mississippi Municipals Fund

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Mississippi

Mississippi's economy has traditionally relied on cyclical manufacturing but has
grown strongly in recent years. Much of the state's employment growth has been
in the manufacturing and service sectors, and during the 1990s, a significant
part of that growth has been caused by gaming activities. It is now expected
that building activities related to gambling will continue to slow.

The state has shown a willingness to look at its long-term future through its
1992 enactment of a one-cent dedicated sales tax for educational purposes, which
should, over time, result in a more educated and skilled work force. In
addition, Mississippi's efforts to attract new industry have paid some dividends
recently, with a number of technology-based industries locating there.

It is expected that the Mississippi economy should continue to grow, though not
to the extent seen in the early 1990s.

State finances continue to benefit from Mississippi's very conservative fiscal
management. The state's public debt level is one of the lowest in the country.

The proceeds of this 1995 Special Obligation bond issue were used to finance the
acquisition and construction of a regional, nonhazardous solid waste disposal
facility in Clay and Oktibbeha Counties. The facility will consist of a solid
waste landfill and transfer stations, and will replace six landfills that were
required by law to be closed. The 666-acre site will have a capacity of 2.1
million tons of waste over the next twenty years.

The nine municipalities that are members of the Golden Triangle Regional Solid
Waste Management Authority are required to use the facility for residential
solid waste. The Authority will establish a tipping fee sufficient to provide
funds to pay the debt service on the bonds and the operating costs of the
facility.

"The Mississippi municipal market was characterized during the period by its
typically tight supply. The market continues to be dominated by smaller issues
and short-term insured bonds. Yield spreads narrowed dramatically during the
period, which gave me the opportunity to reduce the Portfolio's exposure to
insured hospitals in favor of a larger emphasis on school bonds, General
obligations and revenue bonds, as well as to reduce the Portfolio's reliance on
the short end of the market.

"Given the limited supply of Mississippi bonds, I've added some non-rated bonds
to the Portfolio. Non-rated issues often provide good opportunities in terms of
income and as strong credits. Finally, I've focused on improving the Portfolio's

Eaton Vance. In the past year, however, it has become an increasingly important
element of investment strategy as bonds that lack adequate call protection have
received a cool reception from the market."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: New York

The New York economy continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace than the nation
as a whole. The recession of the early 1990s claimed more than a half-million
jobs in the state. New York employment is not expected to reach pre-recession
levels until 1998, according to Standard & Poor's. Job growth has been stagnant,
increasing at 1.1% annually compared to national job growth of 1.6% a year.
Unemployment rates have fallen, although they remain higher than the national
average.

The sluggish state economy has intensified the difficult fiscal choices facing
the state. Because a high state tax burden appears to have impaired the state's
competitive position, Governor Pataki's goal is to reduce New Yorkers' tax
bite. Consequently, the Pataki administration's current budget proposals aim to
make further cuts in social spending. These cuts are highly problematic in that
they are very dependent on actions at the federal level. In addition, cuts in
social spending are likely to trigger a fierce partisan debate with the state
legislature. But the proposals nonetheless represent a bold attempt by the
administration to reform the state's past budget procedures and strengthen the
state's competitive position.

Dormitory Authority
St. John's Health Care Corp.

The proceeds of this bond issue are being used to renovate facilities and add 75
beds to St. John's existing 400-bed facility in Rochester.

These St. John's bonds are an especially good example of FHA-insured health care
bonds, most of which have anticipated sinking fund schedules that result in
shorter average lives than indicated by their stated maturities.

For example, these bonds have a stated maturity of twenty years, but should be
retired in full by 2002 from sinking fund payments. Thus, investors receive the
yield of a 20-year bond with the interest rate exposure of a five-year bond.

Because the secondary market does not always recognize the sinking fund story
until the sinking fund date approaches, these bonds trade infrequently.
Portfolio managers who recognize this story prize these bonds and view them as
core holdings representing good value.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF NICOLE ANDERES]

"Our efforts last year to restructure the Portfolio have served us well in the
more defensive climate of the past several months. We reduced the Portfolio's
holdings in deep discount bonds in favor of more moderate discount bonds. That
left the Portfolio better-positioned as interest rates edged higher in the first
quarter of 1996. Naturally, the Portfolio remains sensitive to the New York
supply calendar. Periodic large infusions of state issues into the market
created opportunities to purchase state-appropriated debt at fairly attractive
levels.

"I reduced the Portfolio's exposure to triple-B-rated state appropriation
credits to around 30% as of March 31 in anticipation of some potentially "rocky"
months ahead as state budget negotiations drag into the new fiscal year."

EV Traditional Ohio Municipals Fund

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Ohio

Ohio's economy has benefited from steady growth and continued diversification.
Manufacturing continues to be a major factor in the state's employment mix,
though the proportion of jobs created by this sector has declined.

Personal income levels in Ohio are slightly below the national average.
Unemployment is relatively low. In recent years, the state has enjoyed a
strongly advancing service sector, considerable export activity and a growing
financial services industry.

The state's economic expansion helped Ohio turn in strong fiscal results during
the 1993-95 biennial period. During this time, enhanced tax revenues allowed the
state to rebuild its financial reserves, which had been drawn down during
previous recessionary years

It is expected that the state's economy will continue to grow steadily during
the remainder of the decade. It is helped by the fact that the state is
attractive to prospective employers because of its skilled labor force and
competitive taxes.

Ohio benefits from relatively conservative management and a debt burden that is
low relative to that of other industrialized states.

Franklin County, OH
Riverside United Methodist Hospital
Refunding Revenue Bonds

Riverside United Methodist Hospital is the largest acute care facility in
central Ohio and the dominant facility in Columbus. The hospital has been able
to attract a growing number of patients from surrounding counties. That growth
should continue with the increase in service area growth trends.

The merger of Riverside with Grant Medical Center, an affiliate of national
healthcare leader U.S. Health Corp., should allow the hospital to realize
several important benefits. Those include reduced costs through economies of
scale and the ability to enhance revenue growth through contract negotiations
with system providers. The proceeds of this $144 million bond issue were used to
refund bonds that were previously issued and used to finance a series of
improvements at the hospital.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF THOMAS J. FETTER]

"The bond market has been quite volatile in 1996, due to a sustained hike in
interest rates. That volatility has been felt in the Ohio municipal bond market,
despite the fact that Ohio issuance has decreased sharply from previous years.
I've continued a barbell strategy for the Portfolio, which involves apportioning
the Portfolio between premium and discount bonds, while generally avoiding
current coupon bonds. Hospital bonds remain a significant portion of the
Portfolio, although we remain extremely selective in our hospital investments.
The hospital sector is undergoing rapid changes that will likely result in a
massive restructuring. We've focused on institutions that we believe will be
among the better-positioned hospitals once the dust has cleared.

"As of March 31, Non-rated bonds composed around 10% of the Portfolio. We have
made non-rated issues a research specialty at Eaton Vance and are often able to
add significant value through these issues. For example, the Portfolio has an
investment in Knox Community Hospital, a small facility in Mt. Vernon. While
non-rated, the bond was issued by a well-regarded hospital and carries an
attractive 7.875% coupon."

EV Traditional West Virginia Municipals Fund

THE STATE OF THE STATE: West Virginia

West Virginia has enjoyed three years of above-average economic growth,
reflecting a broadened diversity in the state's economic base and resulting in
higher personal incomes for state residents. While the state's 7.4%
seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate was well above the national rate, it
nonetheless showed some improvement in the past year.

Due to a more favorable employment picture, West Virginia's longstanding trend
of outmigration has eased somewhat. Several large companies have expanded or
relocated to the state, partially offsetting the losses the state has suffered
in heavy manufacturing. Construction employment has also expanded, while growth
in the service sector has further diversified the state's economy. The number of
mining jobs continued to decline because of mechanization of many mining
processes and the pressure of increased competition. On the fiscal front, the
generally favorable economic trends have permitted the state to retain a
balanced budget while increasing funding for educational programs.

County of Berkeley, WV
Board of Education
Public School Bonds

The Berkeley County Board of Education is responsible for supervising all public
schools in the district. Board members are elected by the voters of the county.
As of 1995, the district had 23 schools employing 810 teachers, with another 470
people employed in non-teaching positions.

The proceeds of this $16 million bond issue were used to renovate and improve a
number of school buildings within this countywide school district. Among the
projects to be financed were construction of a new North Elementary School,
expansion and renovation of Musselman Middle School and construction of an
addition to Hedgesville Middle School. In addition, $4.3 million of the bond
proceeds was set aside for use, along with $9 million in additional state money,
in building a new Musselman High School to accommodate about 1,100 students.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

[PHOTO OF TIMOTHY T. BROWSE]

"While the employment figures for February and March jolted the market, I remain
positive with respect to the market trend. The market appears to be focusing
solely on inflation, which is generally well under control. Nevertheless, I
remain sensitive to the downside risk in the market and, where possible, have
established some defensive positions in the Portfolio.

"As usual, the West Virginia market was characterized by low supply during the
six-month period. I looked for opportunities to buy bonds at attractive levels
during periods when increased supply came to market. On a separate note, the
entire bond market has become more sensitive to call features since the end of
1995. The market's increased emphasis on call protection has caused bonds with
poor call features to underperform the broad market. That has played into our
hands nicely because we have traditionally been very call-sensitive and active
in trading to improve our call features. Finally, we maintained a balanced
structure between premium and and discount bonds by moving out of current coupon
bonds as they reached their coupon levels."

(2)  Total return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the
     net asset value on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed
     to be reinvested at the net asset value on the payable date. Total return is computed on a non-annualized
     basis.
(3)  The annualized expense ratios for the six months ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended September 30,
     1995 have been adjusted to reflect a change in reporting requirements. The new reporting guidelines
     require each Fund, as well as its corresponding Portfolio, to increase its expense ratio by the effect of
     any expense offset arrangements with its service providers. The expense ratios for the period ended
     September 30, 1994 have not been adjusted to reflect this change.

     1995 have been adjusted to reflect a change in reporting requirements. The new reporting guidelines
     require the Fund, as well as its corresponding Portfolio, to increase its expense ratio by the effect of
     any expense offset arrangements with its service providers. The expense ratios for the period ended
     September 30, 1994 have not been adjusted to reflect this change.

(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-six Funds, seven of which are included in these
financial statements. They include EV Traditional California Municipals Fund
("Traditional California Fund"), EV Traditional Florida Municipals Fund,
("Traditional Florida Fund"), EV Traditional Massachusetts Municipals Fund
("Traditional Massachusetts Fund"), EV Traditional Mississippi Municipals Fund,
("Traditional Mississippi Fund"), EV Traditional New York Municipals Fund
("Traditional New York Fund"), EV Traditional Ohio Municipals Fund,
("Traditional Ohio Fund"), and EV Traditional West Virginia Municipals Fund
("Traditional West Virginia Fund"), each of which is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified open-end management
investment company. 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 Traditional California Fund invests its assets in the
California Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Florida Fund invests its assets
in the Florida Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Massachusetts Fund invests
its assets in the Massachusetts Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional
Mississippi Fund invests its assets in the Mississippi Municipals Portfolio, the
Traditional New York Fund invests its assets in the New York Municipals
Portfolio, the Traditional Ohio Fund invests its assets in the Ohio Municipals
Portfolio, and the Traditional West Virginia Fund invests its assets in the West
Virginia Municipals 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 (0.8%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 4.9%, 0.9%, 0.7%, and 2.6% at March
31, 1996 for the Traditional California Fund, Traditional Florida Fund,
Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund, Traditional New
York Fund, Traditional Ohio Fund and Traditional West 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 September 30, 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. The
amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryovers are as follows:

                                      20,474     September 30, 2002
</TABLE>
 
Additionally, at September 30, 1995, net capital losses of $36,910, $203,067,
$203,526, $31,826, $73,189 and $42,901 for the Traditional Florida Fund,
Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund, Traditional New
York Fund, Traditional Ohio Fund and Traditional West Virginia Fund,
respectively, attributable to securities transactions incurred after October 31,
1994 are treated as arising on the first day of each Fund's current 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.

<PAGE>   24
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES--Costs incurred by a Fund in connection with
its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on the
straight-line basis over five years.
 
E. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and
expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
F. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
 
G. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION--The interim financial statements relating to
March 31, 1996 and for the six-month period then ended have not been audited by
independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Fund's
management, reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(2) FUND NAME CHANGES
 
Effective February 1, 1996, the EV Classic Massachusetts Municipals Fund, EV
Classic Mississippi Municipals Fund, EV Classic Ohio Municipals Fund, and EV
Classic West Virginia Municipals Fund changed their respective names to EV
Traditional Massachusetts Municipals Fund, EV Traditional Mississippi Municipals
Fund, EV Traditional Ohio Municipals Fund, and EV Traditional West Virginia
Municipals Fund. In addition, each Fund discontinued the payment of sales
commissions and distribution fees to the Principal Underwriter pursuant to a
Distribution Plan (see Note 7). The Funds have adopted a new service plan (see
Note 6) which allows for the continued payment of service fees to the principal
underwriter and authorized firms. Purchases of the Fund shares on or after
February 1, 1996 will be subject to a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% on
amounts up to $50,000 and at declining rates on purchases in excess of such
amount.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(3) 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 shareholder, 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. The
tax treatment of distributions for the calendar year will be reported to
shareholders prior to February 1, 1997 and will be based on tax accounting
methods which may differ from amounts determined for financial statement
purposes.

(5) 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. To enhance the net income of the Funds for the six
months ended March 31, 1996, $19,097, $14,078, $13,904, $9,574, $15,210, $13,602
and $12,392 of expenses relating to the operation of the Traditional California
Fund, Traditional Florida Fund, Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional
Mississippi Fund, Traditional New York Fund, Traditional Ohio Fund, and
Traditional West Virginia Fund, respectively, were allocated, on a preliminary
basis, to EVM. 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.
 
With respect to Fund shares sold prior to March 27, 1995, Eaton Vance
Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM and the Trust's Principal
Underwriter, receives a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on shareholder
redemptions made within 18 months of purchase, where the initial investment in a
Fund was $1 million or more. No CDSC will be levied on shareholder redemptions
of Fund shares acquired between March 27, 1995 and November 9, 1995. On Fund
shares sold after November 9, 1995, EVD receives a CDSC on shareholder
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase, where the initial investment in a
Fund was $1 million or more. EVD did not receive any CDSC during the six months
ended March 31, 1996.
 
Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian to the Funds and the
Portfolios. Prior to November 10, 1995, IBT was an affiliate of EVM. 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. All significant credit balances used to reduce each Fund's
custody fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the statement of
operations. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds and Portfolios are
officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(6) SERVICE PLAN
 
Each Fund has adopted a service plan (the Plan) designed to meet the service fee
requirements of the sales charge rule of The National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. The Plans provide that each Fund may make service fee payments to
the Principal Underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of
Eaton Vance Management, Authorized Firms or 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 each Plan by authorizing the Fund to make
quarterly service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter and Authorized Firms
in amounts not exceeding 0.20% (0.25% for the Traditional California Fund) of
each Fund's average daily net assets for any fiscal year which is attributable
to shares of a Fund sold by such persons and remaining outstanding for at least
one year. Service fee payments are made for personal services and/or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts. For the six months ended March 31, 1996,
the Traditional California, Traditional Florida and Traditional New York Funds
paid or accrued service fees of $1,573, $808 and $1,486, respectively. For the
period from February 1, 1996, to March 31, 1996, the Traditional Massachusetts,
Traditional Mississippi, Traditional Ohio and Traditional West Virginia Funds
paid or accrued services fees of $953, $473, $696 and $320, respectively.
 
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers and directors of
EVD.

(7) DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
Prior to February 1, 1996, Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional
Mississippi Fund, Traditional Ohio Fund and Traditional West Virginia Fund had
adopted a distribution plan (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plans required the Funds to pay EVD amounts
equal to 1/365 of 0.75% of each Funds' daily net assets, for providing ongoing
distribution services and facilities to the respective Fund. A Fund would
automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there were
no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum
of (i) 6.25% 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 and amounts
theretofore paid to EVD. The amount payable to EVD with respect to each day was
accrued on such day as a liability of each Fund and, accordingly, reduces the
Fund's net assets. For the period from October 1, 1995 to January 31, 1996,
Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund, Traditional Ohio
Fund, and Traditional West Virginia Fund, paid $7,134, $5,938, $5,747, and
$2,622, respectively, to EVD representing 0.75% (annualized) of average daily
net assets. At March 31, 1996, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of
EVD calculated under the Plans for Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional
Mississippi Fund, Traditional Ohio Fund and Traditional West Virginia Fund were
approximately $338,000, $287,000, $251,000, and $169,000, respectively.
 
In addition, the Plans permitted the Funds to make monthly payments of service
fees to EVD, in amounts not exceeding 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net
assets for any fiscal year. The Trustees had initially implemented the Plans by
authorizing the Funds to make monthly service fee payments to the Principal
Underwriter in amounts not expected to exceed 0.20% of each Fund's average daily
net assets for each fiscal year. For the period from October 1, 1995 to January
31, 1996, Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund,
Traditional Ohio Fund, and Traditional West Virginia Fund paid service fees to
EVD in the amount of $1,903, $1,583, $1,533, and $699, respectively. Pursuant to
the Amended Distribution Plan, on sales made prior to January 30, 1995, EVD made
monthly service fee payments to Authorized Firms in amounts anticipated to be
equivalent to 0.20%, annualized, of the assets maintained in each Fund by their
customers. On sales of shares made between January 30, 1995 and February 1,
1996, EVD paid an Authorized Firm a service fee at the time of sale equal to
0.20% of the purchase price of the shares sold by such Firm and monthly payments
of service fees in amounts not exceeding 0.20% per annum of the Funds' average
daily net assets based on the value of Fund shares sold by such Firm and
remaining outstanding for at least one year. During the first year after a
purchase of Fund shares, EVD retained the service fee as reimbursement for the
service fee payment made to the Authorized Firm at the time of sale. Service fee
payments were made for personal services and/or maintenance of shareholder
accounts. Service fees paid to EVD and Authorized Firms were separate and
distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable by a Fund to
EVD, and as such are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no
outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD.
 
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers or directors of
EVD.

(8) CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES
 
For shares of the Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund,
Traditional Ohio Fund, and Traditional West Virginia Fund purchased between
January 30, 1995 and January 31, 1996, a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC)
of 1% is imposed on any redemption of Fund shares made within one year of
purchase. 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. 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 Funds' Distribution Plans.
CDSC received when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to
the Funds. For the six months ended March 31, 1996, EVD received approximately
$140 and $350 of CDSC paid by shareholders of Traditional Massachusetts Fund and
Traditional Ohio Fund, respectively. EVD did not receive any CDSC from
shareholders redeeming out of the Traditional Mississippi Fund and Traditional
West Virginia Fund during the period end March 31, 1996.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
(2) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial
    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by California
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 March 31, 1996, 21.1% 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 4.0% to 12.5% of total investments.

(1) The above security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Florida
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
debt 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 March 31, 1996, 31.7% 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 0.1% to 12.8% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Massachusetts
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 March 31, 1996, 25.0% 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 4.1% to 6.9% of total investments.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
(2) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial
    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Mississippi
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 March 31, 1996, 44.8% 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 1.3% to 27.0% of total investments.

    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 March 31, 1996, 16.8% 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 0.3% to 9.1% of total
    investments.

(1) The above security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Ohio
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
debt 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 March 31, 1996, 24.3% 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 1.3% to 10.9% of total investments.
 
                       See notes to financial statements.

(1) The above designated security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.
(2) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements for open financial
    futures contracts.
 
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by West Virginia
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
debt 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 March 31, 1996, 51.2% 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 4.0% to 22.7% of total investments.

                                  (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
California Municipals Portfolio (California Portfolio), Florida Municipals
Portfolio (Florida Portfolio), Massachusetts Municipals Portfolio (Massachusetts
Portfolio), Mississippi Municipals Portfolio (Mississippi Portfolio), New York
Municipals Portfolio (New York Portfolio), Ohio Municipals Portfolio (Ohio
Portfolio), and West Virginia Municipals Portfolio (West Virginia Portfolio),
collectively the Portfolios, are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as non-diversified open-end management investment companies. The Portfolios
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
consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial
statements. 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.
 
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 Portfolio records 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. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
 
H. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and
expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
I. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION--The interim financial statements relating to
March 31, 1996 and for the six-month period then ended have not been audited by
independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Portfolio's
management, reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

(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 six months ended March 31, 1996, each Portfolio paid advisory fees as
follows:
 
<TABLE>

     Massachusetts     690,932         0.46%
     Mississippi        30,182         0.22%
     New York        1,509,614         0.46%

       Virginia         49,492         0.24%
</TABLE>
 
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets (annualized).
 
To enhance the net income of the Mississippi Portfolio, BMR made a preliminary
reduction in its fee in the amount of $15,092 for the six months ended March 31,
1996. 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), serves as custodian of the Portfolios.
Prior to November 10, 1995, IBT was an affiliate of EVM and BMR. 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. All
significant credit balances are reported as a reduction of expenses in the
statement of operations.
 
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers and

(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 March 31, 1996, the Massachusetts Portfolio had a loan balance
outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $1,742,000. For the Ohio
Portfolio, the average daily loan balance for the six months ended March 31,
1996 was $2,970,822 and the average interest rate was 7.02%. The maximum
borrowing outstanding at any month end during the six months ended March 31,
1996, was $6,862,000. The California, Florida, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New
York and West Virginia Portfolios did not have any significant borrowings or
allocated fees during the six months ended March 31, 1996.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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 March 31, 1996,
were as follows:

Portfolio did not have any open obligations under these financial instruments at
March 31, 1996.
