The municipal bond market in 1996 was characterized by heightened volatility as
investors reacted to a seesaw interest rate environment and a politically-
charged debate over the possibility of a flat tax. At the outset of the year,
the economy seemed poised for a slowdown, and the Federal Reserve appeared ready
to revive growth through interest rate reductions. In January, 1996, the Fed
lowered the Federal Funds Rate - the rate banks charge each other for overnight
loans and a key short-term interest rate barometer - to 5.25%. However, it soon
became apparent that the economy was stronger than anticipated and that
inflation, while still at a low level, would bear further watching. Long-term
bond yields climbed steadily higher, reaching their peak in mid-June.
Investors were heartened by economic reports in the second half of the year that
showed a scenario of slow growth and low inflation. In addition, the federal
budget deficit, which had ballooned in the 1980s and had been so long the bane
of fixed-income investors, fell to just 1.5% of gross domestic product. Against
that favorable backdrop, bond yields finished the year at lower levels than at
mid-year.
According to the Public Securities Association, state and local governments sold
roughly $183 billion in securities in 1996, and will sell approximately the same
volume in 1997. That is sharply lower than the supply levels for 1995 and
earlier. With greatly reduced supply and increasing competition for bonds,
municipal bonds should retain their value among tax-conscious investors.
We believe an investment in municipal bonds continues to represent good value
for several reasons. First, the nation's economy should continue to grow at a
fairly modest pace in 1997, which is favorable for bonds in general. Second, due
to public demand, it is increasingly likely that Congress and the Clinton
Administration will make progress toward a balanced budget. Third, with the
equity markets having turned in two consecutive years of performances well above
historical averages, investors may look for alternatives within the bond
markets. Finally, taxes remain a burden and, for most investors, municipal bonds
are the last remaining vehicle for tax relief. For these reasons, we believe
that the municipal market will continue to be a favored avenue for tax-conscious
investors. Eaton Vance's municipal bond department will continue to seek high,
tax-free current income for shareholders.

The Economy
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
.Since the mid-1980's, Alabama's economy has diversified into the service,
trade and financial sectors, as its traditional textile and food processing
industries have faced increasing competition.
.In the past year, the state has seen an increase in economic growth and
employment. The unemployment rate, which stood at 5.7% in January, 1996,
dropped to 4.4% by January, 1997.
.Aided by state government economic incentives, manufacturers Briggs & Stratton,
British Steel, Lockheed Martin, and Mercedes Benz have invested approximately
$9 billion in Alabama since 1993.
.Alabama's finances are well managed, with low spending growth and a solid AA-
rating from Standard & Poor's on the state's general obligation debt.
Management Update
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.The overall bond market was increasingly volatile in 1996, as reports of
lower inflation alternated with signs of stronger economic growth.
.The new issue market in Alabama has provided bonds with good credit quality,
attractive yields, and appropriate call protection and structure.
.During the period, management has sought bonds that perform well in a declining
rate environment to balance the Portfolio's existing holdings of higher coupon,
defensive issues. This helps maintain the desired "barbell" structure of the
Portfolio.
.We continue to direct efforts towards maintaining an average dollar price below
par, improving the Portfolio's call protection, and adding lower-coupon bonds.
The Fund
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
.During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
4.9%./1/
.This return resulted from an increase in net asset value per share to $9.76
on February 28, 1997 from $9.54 on August 31, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.245 per share in tax-free income dividends./2/
.Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.76 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.06%.
.To equal 5.06% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 39.20% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 8.32%.

The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Arkansas' overall economy has slowed somewhat in the past year after several
years of growth.
. Non-manufacturing jobs - including the service and trade sectors - have
increased, however. This trend is expected to continue through 1997.
. The state's finances have been well managed, with increasing reserves,
operating surpluses, and low debt levels. Revenues for FY1997 exceeded those
for FY1996 by nearly 3% and continue to closely match forecasts.
. The economic outlook is positive, with an increasing population fueling the
housing and construction sectors. Other key sectors, such as food processing
and manufacturing, are expected to improve.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. The overall bond market was increasingly volatile in 1996, as reports of lower
inflation alternated with signs of stronger economic growth.
. In Arkansas, management has focused on maintaining an average dollar price
below par, improving the Portfolio's call protection, and adding lower-coupon
bonds to balance our existing holdings of higher coupon, defensive issues.
This also helps maintain the desired "barbell" structure of the Portfolio.
. One of the strengths of Eaton Vance's municipal bond department is our
research staff, which is adept at finding non-rated or lower-rated bonds that
can offer significantly higher yield without adding significantly higher risk
to the Portfolio.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
4.7%./1/
. This return resulted from an increase in net asset value per share to $9.71
on February 28, 1997 from $9.52 on August 31, 1996, and the reinvestment of

. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.71 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.19%.
. To equal 5.19% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 40.48% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 8.72%.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Georgia has a healthy mix of economic factors, including strong growth, low
unemployment, rising personal income, and increasing tax revenues.
. The state's economic base includes manufacturing, construction, finance,
insurance and real estate.
. The population of Georgia increased by 10.7% between 1990 and 1995, double
the rate of the U.S.
. The state's finances are well managed. Its successful lottery has added
significantly to reserves, and debt service for FY1997 has been pre-funded.
Management Discussion
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. The Georgia municipal bond market has been increasingly dominated by insured
bonds, resulting in narrowing quality spreads.
. Issuance of municipal bonds has been low during the past six months.
. Management is currently seeking value in attractively priced sectors, such as
insured hospitals.

INVESTMENT UPDATE
[PHOTO OF NICOLE ANDERES, PORTFOLIO MANAGER OMITTED]
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.Kentucky is fortunate to have a healthy economy, with strength in
manufacturing, construction, service and trade.
.Manufacturing and other goods-producing industries, which have been growing at
twice the rate for the U.S., are expected to contribute almost half of
Kentucky's overall growth over the next two years.
.Service and trade, also growing at healthy rates, are expected to contribute
14.5% and 16.7% of the state's growth during the next two years.
.Exports have also been a big part of Kentucky's economic success. Between 1989
and 1994, the rate of export growth was double the rate of the state's overall
economic growth.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.The Kentucky Municipals Portfolio came under new management in November, 1996.
Since then, hedging has been reduced, and overall yields have been boosted
without a significant increase in risk.
.Specifically, bonds with poor structure and call features have been swapped for
bonds with either price appreciation potential or higher yields.
.As opportunities arise, management will continue to take steps to increase
call protection, while improving the Portfolio's structure by adding premium
and discount bonds and reducing current coupon bonds.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of

INVESTMENT UPDATE

The Economy
.Louisiana's economy has expanded at a healthy rate since the recession of 1990-
91, aided in part by the chemical industry, where heavy capital investment also
spurred growth in the construction industry.
.The oil and gas industries, significant contributors to the economy, have
recovered from difficult years. Related products and services have been buoyed
by this recovery.
.The gaming industry has grown rapidly in Louisiana. From 1993 to 1996, the
state added 17,600 new jobs in river boat gambling alone.
.Louisiana is hindered financially by the lack of a stable tax base, relying
instead on cyclical taxes. Nevertheless, the state government is working on a
more permanent tax structure. In the meantime, Louisiana has produced budget
surpluses for the past several years.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.This Fund owns several industrial development bonds (IDBs), due to the
significant presence of heavy industry in Louisiana. Examples include
International Paper, Mobil Oil, and Gulf States Utilities.
.Issuance of municipal bonds has been low during the past six months, so new
issues have been added on a selective basis only.
.The Fund holds a small percentage of bonds from Puerto Rico and Guam because
management has found higher-yielding Louisiana bonds of similar credit quality.

EV Traditional Maryland Municipals Fund as of February 28, 1997
INVESTMENT UPDATE
[PHOTO OMITTED OF TIMOTHY T. BROWSE, PORTFOLIO MANAGER]
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Maryland's economy is healthy and well diversified, with low unemployment,
high personal income and wealth levels, and sound state finances.
. Since the recession of 1990-1992, Maryland's economy has been somewhat slow
to recover. Employment is forecast to grow at a 1.4% annual rate in 1997 and
1998, versus an average of 2.5% prior to the recession. Government employment
has also slowed due to budget cutbacks.
. The state has managed the slowdown well, curbing government spending and
attracting business in the service and trade sectors. Wholesale and retail
trade grew at over 3% annually in 1995-1996.
. As an added economic incentive, Maryland has proposed a personal tax cut,
designed to return $485 million to taxpayers and create new jobs.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. The overall bond market was increasingly volatile in 1996, as reports of
lower inflation alternated with signs of stronger economic growth.
. An attractive new issue market in Maryland has allowed us to lighten up in
the hospital sector. We have also added to the university and water and sewer
sectors.
. Management has sought bonds that perform well in a declining rate environment
to balance the Portfolio's existing holdings of higher coupon, defensive
issues. This helps maintain the desired "barbell" structure of the Portfolio.
. We continue to direct efforts towards maintaining an average dollar price
below par, improving the Portfolio's call protection, and adding lower-
coupon bonds.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
4.9%./1/
. This return resulted from an increase in net asset value per share to $9.64

. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.64 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.17%.
. To equal 5.17% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 41.12% combined

The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Missouri is fortunate to have a well-diversified economy, with strong
manufacturing, trade, service and agriculture sectors. Railroads, trucking,
and air transport are also significant economic contributors.
. The auto sector, which includes Ford and Chrysler, has made a strong
contribution to the economy, while defense, which has downsized in recent
years, is stable.
. Missouri benefits from sound financial management. During the recession of
1990-92, the state incurred operating deficits. However, careful financial
control has led to surpluses in every year since 1993. State debt as a
percentage of personal income is 1.3%, versus the national median of 2.1%.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Our strategy continues to emphasize relative value, trading into sectors
which are relatively cheap.
. Bond structure remains a primary focus, and we
continue to work on improving call protection and Portfolio diversity.
. Insured bonds have begun to dominate the overall market in recent years,
significantly narrowing quality spreads. This has been especially true in
Missouri, where new issuance is typically thin.
. To counter the narrowing of spreads, we have
sought opportunities in lower- or non-rated health care and hospital bonds.
Careful analysis has shown that these credits can add yield without
significantly adding to risk.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
5.3%./1/
. This return resulted from an increase in net asset value per share to $9.74
on February 28, 1997 from $9.49 on August 31, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.246 per share in tax-free income dividends./2/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.74 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.10%.
. To equal 5.10% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 39.84% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 8.48%.

EV Traditional North Carolina Municipals Fund as of February 28, 1997
INVESTMENT UPDATE
[PHOTO OMITTED ROBERT B. MACINTOSH, PORTFOLIO MANAGER]
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Since the recession of 1990-91, North Carolina's economy has diversified away
from its traditional manufacturing base into the trade, financial services,
and construction sectors.
. Manufacturing, however, remains the largest sector of the economy,
contributing approximately 31% of growth in 1996.
. With a well-diversified economy, North Carolina has had average job growth of
3% since 1992.
. The state's finances are very well managed. In 1996, tax revenues increased
7.3% over 1995, and the state's General Fund balance increased from $1.57
billion to $1.88 billion.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. The strong economy in North Carolina has resulted in greater issuance of good
credits.
. A combination of healthy conditions, including attractive land values, low
labor costs, and low taxes has helped increase the number of industrial
development bonds in the state. Issuers include Champion Intl., Weyerhauser,
Cambell Soup, and American Airlines.
. Availability of university issuers have also increased, including the
University of North Carolina and Duke University.
. This Fund holds few certificates of participation because they tend to have
higher credit risk without sufficiently higher yield.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
4.7%./1/
. This return resulted from an increase in net asset value per share to $9.45
on February 28, 1997 from $9.27 on August 31, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.248 per share in tax-free income dividends./2/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.45 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.31%.
. To equal 5.31% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 40.96% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 8.99%.

EV Traditional Oregon Municipals Fund as of February 28, 1997
INVESTMENT UPDATE
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[PHOTO OMITTED THOMAS M. METZOLD, PORTFOLIO MANAGER]
. Oregon has experienced significant economic growth over the past several
years, as its economic base has become less dependent on the timber industry.
. The high-technology industry - specifically, semiconductor manufacturing -
has grown rapidly in Oregon due, in part, to immigration from California.
This population growth has also contributed to robust growth in housing
construction.
. Although Oregon is a significant issuer of general obligation (G.O.) debt,
direct G.O. debt has decreased every year since 1990.
. In November, 1996, Measure 47 - a tax limitation statute which will reduce
property taxes in 1997-1998 and limit growth in this tax to 3% after 1998 -
was approved by voters. Local governments will be affected, but the state's
strong fiscal condition gives it flexibility to mitigate the measure's
impact.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Issuance in the Oregon municipal market has begun to level off after several
years of significant increases. Bond issuance in the state may be reduced by
the passage of Measure 47.
. Demand for Oregon municipal bonds, which has waned in recent years, has begun
to pick up.
. Combined with moderate issuance, the increase in demand bodes well for the
Oregon municipal bond market.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
3.9%./1/

. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.49 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.14%.
. To equal 5.14% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 41.76% combined

EV Traditional South Carolina Municipals Fund as of February 28, 1997
INVESTMENT UPDATE
[PHOTO OMITTED THOMAS J. FETTER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER]
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. South Carolina's economy has benefited from positive trends in personal
income and population growth over the past several years.
. Per capita income growth exceeded the national average in 1995, growing at
5.9%. Employment in 1995 grew by 1.8%, slightly less than the national
average.
. Manufacturing is a prominent part of the economy. New investment from Mikasa,
Nucor Steel, Amoco Chemical, Michelin Tire, and BMW should help keep this
sector strong for many years.
. The state's finances have been well managed, the result of conservative
forecasting, a strong economy, and restraints on spending. In addition, the
state provided property tax relief of $208 million in FY 1996, and expects to
provide $214 million in FY 1997 and $294 in FY 1998.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Issuance of municipal bonds with appropriate credit ratings has been
relatively light during the past six months. As a result, we have sought out
more insured bonds for the Portfolio.
. The supply of general obligation (G.O.) bonds should increase in the areas of
higher education and public safety. The Governor has proposed a bond bill
which would allocate debt issues within these needy areas.
. Management continues to seek bonds which will strengthen the Portfolio's
structure by increasing call protection, provide upside potential, and boost
yield.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of

. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.67 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.10%.
. To equal 5.10% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 40.48% combined

EV Traditional Tennessee Municipals Fund as of February 28, 1997
INVESTMENT UPDATE
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. The economy in Tennessee thrives on manufacturing, due to generous tax
incentives provided by the state government and low-cost power provided by
the Tennessee Valley Authority.
. Investment in manufacturing totalled $2.1 billion for the first 3 quarters
of 1996, a 45% increase over the previous year. Over 150 manufacturing
facilities were expanded or added during this period.
. Tennessee has carefully managed its finances, resulting in a balanced budget
and a sizable "Rainy Day Fund." This reserve has been maintained at roughly
4% of general revenues over the past few years.
. The overall debt level in Tennessee remains well below that of most other
states, allowing the state to finance a significant number of capital
projects with current funds and achieve high bond ratings.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Issuance of municipal bonds in Tennessee has remained light during the past
six months, contributing to a narrowing of credit spreads.
. We have continued to pursue a "relative value" approach, seeking value in
sectors that are comparatively inexpensive. We continue to emphasize bond
structure and improve call protection.
. To add further value, we have sought higher-yielding opportunities, including
lower-or non-rated bonds. These issues, which require significant research
and analysis, can provide attractive yields to the Fund.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
5.1%./1/
. This return resulted from an increase in net asset value per share to $9.57
on February 28, 1997 from $9.35 on August 31, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.251 per share in tax-free income dividends./2/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.57 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on February 28, 1997 was 5.31%.
. To equal 5.31% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 39.84% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 8.83%.

INVESTMENT UPDATE
[PHOTO OMITTED TIMOTHY T. BROWSE, PORTFOLIO MANAGER]
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Virginia's economy benefits from a rising population, a well-educated
workforce, a diverse base of industry sectors, and sound financial
management.
. Employment has risen in the last two years and is expected to grow at a 1.5%
annual rate through the end of the decade.
. Virginia's government has succeeded in attracting over $10 billion in
corporate investment in the last two and a half years. Motorola, for example,
has invested $1 billion in a new semiconductor plant which could employ up to
5,000 workers by 1998.
. Careful financial management since the recession of 1990-91 has resulted in
cash surpluses every year since 1994 and growing reserves in the Revenue
Stabilization Fund.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. In Virginia, we have focused on keeping higher coupon bonds and swapping
bonds with current coupons or poor call features for those with better call
protection and total return potential.
. Other swapping opportunities involved trading bonds with "AA" ratings for
insured bonds which add more liquidity to the Portfolio.
. Through careful research and analysis, management has sought lower-rated or
non-rated bonds which offer higher yield without significantly adding to
risk.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund had a total return of

/(1)/ 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 not
computed on an annualized basis.
/(2)/ Includes the Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated
expenses.
/(3)/ The expense ratios for the reporting periods ended August 31, 1996 and
thereafter, 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 each of the prior periods have not been adjusted to reflect this change.

Municipals Fund ("Traditional Oregon Fund"), EV Traditional South Carolina
Municipals Fund ("Traditional South Carolina Fund"), EV Traditional Tennessee
Municipals Fund ("Traditional Tennessee Fund") and EV Traditional Virginia
Municipals Fund ("Traditional 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 Traditional Alabama Fund
invests its assets in the Alabama Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional
Arkansas Fund invests its assets in the Arkansas Municipals Portfolio, the
Traditional Georgia Fund invests its assets in the Georgia Municipals
Portfolio, the Traditional Kentucky Fund invests its assets in the Kentucky
Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Louisiana Fund invests its assets in the
Louisiana Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Maryland Fund invests its
assets in the Maryland Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Missouri Fund
invests its assets in the Missouri Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional North
Carolina Fund invests its assets in the North Carolina Municipals Portfolio,
the Traditional Oregon Fund invests its assets in the Oregon Municipals
Portfolio, the Traditional South Carolina Fund invests its assets in the South
Carolina Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Tennessee Fund invests its
assets in the Tennessee Municipals Portfolio and the Traditional Virginia Fund
invests its assets in the 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 (5.5%, 1.4%, 1.8%,
0.8%, 5.8%, 1.0%, 2.6%, 8.5%, 0.6%, 2.1%, 3.4%, and 0.7% at February 28, 1997
for the Traditional Alabama Fund, Traditional Arkansas Fund, Traditional
Georgia Fund, Traditional Kentucky Fund, Traditional Louisiana Fund,
Traditional Maryland Fund, Traditional Missouri Fund, Traditional North
Carolina Fund, Traditional Oregon Fund, Traditional South Carolina Fund,
Traditional Tennessee Fund and Traditional 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 Valuations -- Valuation of securities by the Portfolios is
discussed in Note 1A 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, 1996, 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, 1996, net capital losses of $110, $40,678, $7,659,
$21,615, $37 and $583 for the Traditional Arkansas Fund, Traditional Kentucky
Fund, Traditional Louisiana Fund, Traditional Oregon Fund, Traditional
Tennessee Fund and Traditional Virginia Fund, respectively, attributable to
security transactions incurred after October 31, 1995, are
33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
C Federal Taxes (continued) -- treated as arising on the first day of the
Funds' current taxable year. Dividends paid by each Fund from net interest on
tax-exempt municipal bonds allocated from its corresponding Portfolio are not
able to be included 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 tax-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.
The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryovers are as
follows:

D Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by the Fund in connection
with its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on the
straight-line basis over five years.
E Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) 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 daily cash balances the Funds or the Portfolios maintain with IBT.
All significant credit balances used to reduce each Fund's custodian fees are
reported as a reduction of expenses on the statements of operations.
F 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.
G Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
H Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating to
February 28, 1997 and for the six month period then ended have not been audited
by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Funds'
management, reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

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 income and capital gain distributions in additional
shares of the 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 statement 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, 1998 and will be based on tax accounting methods which may differ
from amounts determined for financial statement purposes.
3 Shares of Beneficial Interest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Funds' Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par
value). Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

payments to EVD, 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 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% 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

(1) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial
futures contracts.
(2) Security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.
AMT - Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax
preference item for purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.
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 February 28, 1997, 35.4% 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 1.0% to 19.9% of total investments.

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 February 28, 1997, 26.9% 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 2.1% to 13.8% of total investments.

/(1)/ Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open
financial futures contracts.
/(2)/ Security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.
AMT - Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax
preference item for purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.
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 February 28,1997, 23.5% 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 2.9% to 12.4% of total
investments.

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 and options
on financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at
closing settlement prices. Over-the-counter options on financial futures are
normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked price. 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 Federal 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
Portfolios 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, deduction 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 contracts and may realize a loss.
F Options on Financial Futures Contracts -- Upon purchase of a put option on
a financial futures contract by a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as
an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a
purchased option expires, a Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of
the cost of the option. When a Portfolio enters into a closing transaction,
a Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales
proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost
of the option. When a Portfolio exercises a put option, settlement is made
in cash. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the
premium originally paid.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
G When-issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions -- The Portfolios may engage
in when-issued and 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 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.
H Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the 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 Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
J Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as
custodian of the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective custodian
agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by the credits which are determined
based on the average daily cash balances each Portfolio maintains with IBT.
All significant credit balances used to reduce the Portfolios' custodian
fees are reflected as a reduction of operating expense on the statement of
operations.
K Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating
to February 28, 1997 and for the six months then ended have not been audited
by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the
Portfolio's management reflect all adjustments, consisting only 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 February 28, 1997, the Portfolios paid advisory
fees as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Portfolio Amount Effective Rate*
----------------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Alabama $ 208,824 0.42%

South Carolina 91,676 0.32%
Tennessee 85,483 0.31%
Virginia 373,632 0.43%
</TABLE>
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets
(annualized).
To enhance the net income of the Louisiana Portfolio, BMR made a preliminary
reduction of its fee in the amount of $14,936 for the six months ended
February 28, 1997.
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.
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 six month period ended February 28, 1997, no significant
amounts have been deferred.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers and
directors/trustees of EVM and/or BMR.

5 Line of Credit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR
and EVM and its affiliates in a $120 million unsecured line of credit
agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the Portfolios
or Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated
short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund
based on its borrowings at the bank's base rate or at an amount above either
the bank's adjusted certificate of deposit rate, Eurodollar rate or federal
funds effective rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15%
on the daily unused portion of the facility is allocated among the
participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. At February
28, 1997, the Alabama Portfolio, Arkansas Portfolio, Kentucky Portfolio,
Louisiana Portfolio, Oregon Portfolio, South Carolina Portfolio, Tennessee
Portfolio and Virginia Portfolio had balances outstanding pursuant to this
line of credit of $17,000, $122,000, $1,013,000, $68,000, 2,768,000,
$1,581,000, $150,000, and $1,595,000, respectively. The Portfolios did not
have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months
ended February 28, 1997.
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
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 February 28,
1997, is as follows:
