STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PART II
This Part II provides information about EV TRADITIONAL CALIFORNIA LIMITED
MATURITY MUNICIPALS FUND. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide (1)
a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and
California State personal income taxes and (2) limited principal fluctuation.
The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing its
assets in the California Limited Maturity Municipals Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"). The Fund changed its name from EV Classic California Limited
Maturity Tax Free Fund to EV Classic California Limited Maturity Municipals Fund
on December 8, 1995 and to EV Traditional California Limited Maturity Municipals
Fund on February 1, 1996.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund may not:
(1) Purchase securities on margin (but the Fund may obtain such short-term
credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
securities). The deposit or payment by the Fund of initial or maintenance margin
in connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not
considered the purchase of a security on margin;
(2) Borrow money or issue senior securities except as permitted by the
lnvestment Company Act of 1940;
(3) Underwrite or participate in the marketing of securities of others,
except insofar as it may technically be deemed to be an underwriter in selling a
portfolio security under circumstances which may require the registration of the
same under the Securities Act of 1933;
(4) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests in
real estate, but excluding readily marketable interests in real estate
investment trusts or readily marketable securities of companies which invest or
deal in real estate or securities which are secured by real estate);
(5) Purchase or sell physical commodities or contracts for the purchase or
sale of physical commodities; or
(6) Make loans to any person except by (a) the acquisition of debt
instruments and making portfolio investments, (b) entering into repurchase
agreements, and (c) lending portfolio securities.
Notwithstanding the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund, the
Fund may invest all of its investable assets in an open-end management
investment company with substantially the same investment objective, policies
and restrictions as the Fund.
The Fund and the Portfolio have adopted the following investment policies
which may be changed by the Trust with respect to the Fund without approval by
the Fund's shareholders or by the Portfolio with respect to the Portfolio
without approval by the Fund or its other investors. As a matter of
nonfundamental policy, the Fund and the Portfolio will not: (a) engage in
options, futures or forward transactions if more than 5% of its net assets, as
measured by the aggregate of the premiums paid by the Fund or the Portfolio,
would be so invested; (b) make short sales of securities or maintain a short
position, unless at all times when a short position is open it owns an equal
amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable,
without payment of any further consideration, for securities of the same issue
as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short, and unless not more than
25% of the Fund's net assets (taken at current value) is held as collateral for
such sales at any one time. (The Fund and the Portfolio will make such sales
only for the purpose of deferring realization of gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes); (c) invest more than 15% of net assets in investments which are
not readily marketable, including restricted securities and repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days. Restricted securities for the
purposes of this limitation do not include securities eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and commercial paper
issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of said Act that the Board of Trustees of the
Trust or the Portfolio, or its delegate, determines to be liquid; (d) purchase
or retain in its portfolio any securities issued by an issuer any of whose
officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer or Trustee of
the Trust or the Portfolio or is a member, officer, director or trustee of any
investment adviser of the Trust or the Portfolio, if after the purchase of the
securities of such issuer by the Fund or the Portfolio one or more of such
persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the shares or securities or
both (all taken at market value) of such issuer and such persons owning more
than 1/2 of 1% of such shares or securities together own beneficially more than
5% of such shares or securities or both (all taken at market value); or (e)
purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases or purchase partnership interests in
oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs. The Fund and the
Portfolio may purchase put options on municipal obligations only if, after such
purchase, not more than 5% of its net assets, as measured by the aggregate of
the premiums paid for such options held by it, would be so invested. Neither the
Fund nor the Portfolio intends to invest in reverse repurchase agreements during
the current fiscal year.
In order to permit the sale of shares of the Fund in certain states, the
Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the policies described above.
Should the Fund determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders, it will revoke the commitment by
terminating sales of its shares in the state(s) involved.
RISKS OF CONCENTRATION
The following information as to certain California considerations is given
to investors in view of the Portfolio's policy of concentrating its investments
in California issuers. Such information is derived from sources that are
generally available to investors and is believed to be accurate. Such
information constitutes only a brief summary, does not purport to be a complete
description and is based on information from official statements relating to
securities offerings of California issuers. Neither the Trust nor the Portfolio
has independently verified this information.
Constitutional Limitations on Taxes and Appropriations
Limitation on Taxes. Certain California municipal obligations may be obligations
of issuers which rely in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on ad valorem
property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing powers of California local
governments and districts are limited by Article XIII A of the California
Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly known as "Proposition
13." Briefly, Article XIII A limits to 1% of full cash value the rate of ad
valorem property taxes on real property and generally restricts the reassessment
of property to 2% per year, except upon new construction or change of ownership
(subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing entities may, however, raise ad
valorem taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt service on certain voter-approved
bonded indebtedness.
Under Article XIII A, the basic 1% ad valorem tax levy is applied against
the assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or as of
March 1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system
has resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties.
Several lawsuits have been filed challenging the acquisition-based assessment
system of Proposition 13. The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard one of these
lawsuits, and on June 18, 1992 announced a decision upholding Proposition 13.
Article XIII A prohibits local governments from raising revenues through ad
valorem property taxes above the 1% limit; it also requires voters of any
governmental unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any "special tax." A
California Supreme Court decision, however, allowed the levy, without voter
approval, of "general taxes" which were not dedicated to a specific use. In
response to these decisions, the voters of the State in 1986 adopted an
initiative statute which imposed significant new limits on the ability of local
entities to raise or levy general taxes, except by receiving majority local
voter approval. Significant elements of this initiative, "Proposition 62," have
been overturned in recent court cases. An initiative proposed to reenact the
provisions of Proposition 62 as a constitutional amendment was defeated by the
voters in November 1990, but such a proposal may be renewed in the future.
Appropriations Limits. The State and its local governments are subject to an
annual "appropriations limit" imposed by Article XIII B of the California
Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by
Proposition 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIII B prohibits
the State or any covered local government from spending "appropriations subject
to limitation" in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. "Appropriations
subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which
consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from
regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such
proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but "proceeds of
taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed
on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable
user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.
Among the expenditures not included in the Article XIII B appropriations
limit are (1) the debt service cost of bonds issued or authorized prior to
January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, (2) appropriations
arising from certain emergencies declared by the Governor, (3) appropriations
for certain capital outlay projects, (4) appropriations by the State of post-
1989 increases in gasoline taxes and vehicle weight fees, and (5) appropriations
made in certain cases of emergency.
The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect
changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service
responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments
were liberalized by Proposition 111 to follow more closely growth in the State's
economy. "Excess" revenues are measured over a two-year cycle. Local
governments, must return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. With more
liberal annual adjustment factors since 1988, and depressed revenues since 1990
because of the recession, few governments are currently operating near their
spending limits, but this condition may change over time. Local governments may
by voter approval exceed their spending limit for up to four years.
Because of the complex nature of Articles XIII A and XIII B of the
California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in their
terms, and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or changes in
population and cost of living, and the probability of continuing legal
challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of
Article XIII A or Article XIII B on California municipal obligations or on the
ability of the State or local governments to pay debt service on such
obligations. It is not presently possible to predict the outcome of any pending
litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or constitutionality of
either Article XIII A or Article XIII B, or the impact of any such
determinations upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability
to pay debt service on their obligations. Future initiatives or legislative
changes in laws or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of
the State or local issuers to repay their obligations.
Obligations of the State of California
As of April 1, 1995, the State had approximately $19.2 billion of general
obligation bonds outstanding, and $3.3 billion remained authorized but unissued.
In addition, at June 30, 1994, the State had lease-purchase obligations, payable
from the State's general fund, of approximately $6.0 billion with authorized but
unissued lease purchase debt of $1.3 billion. The State's outstanding general
obligation bond debt has gradually risen in recent years: from approximately
$15.9 billion in 1991-92 to approximately $19.2 billion in 1994-95. Of the
State's outstanding general obligation debt, approximately 22% is presently
self-liquidating (for which program revenues are anticipated to be sufficient to
reimburse the general fund for debt service payments). Three general obligation
bond propositions, totalling $3.7 billion, were approved by voters in 1992. The
State has paid the principal of and interest on its general obligation bonds,
lease-purchase debt and short-term obligations when due.
As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, general
obligation bonds issued by the State of California are rated A1, A, A by
Moody's, S&P and Fitch, respectively. Starting in 1991 and continuing through
the middle of 1994, there has been a relatively steady deterioration in the
State's general obligation bond rating. On July 15, 1994, all three of the
rating agencies rating the State's long-term debt lowered their ratings of the
State's general obligation bonds. Moody's lowered its rating from "AA" to "A1,"
S&P lowered its rating from "A+" to "A" and termed its outlook as "stable,"
and Fitch lowered its rating from "AA" to "A." An explanation of such actions
may be obtained only from the respective rating agencies. Future deterioration
in the State's fiscal condition could result in additional downgrades by the
rating agencies.
Recent Financial Results
Since the start of the 1990-91 Fiscal Year, the State has faced the worst
economic, fiscal and budget conditions since the 1930s. Construction,
manufacturing (especially aerospace), exports and financial services, among
others, have all been severely affected. Job losses have been the worst of any
post-war recession and continued through the end of 1993. Following Department
of Finance projections that non-farm employment levels would be stable in 1994,
employment grew 3% between November 1993 and November 1994. However,
unemployment was well above the national average through 1994.
The recession has seriously affected State tax revenues, which basically
mirror economic conditions. It has also caused increased expenditures for health
and welfare programs. The State has also been facing a structural imbalance in
its budget with the largest programs supported by the General Fund -- K-12
schools and community colleges, health and welfare, and corrections -- growing
at rates higher than the growth rates for the principal revenue sources of the
General Fund. As a result, the State has experienced recurring budget deficits.
The State Controller reports that expenditures exceeded revenues for four of the
five fiscal years ending with 1991-92, and were essentially equal in 1992-93. By
June 30, 1993, according to the Department of Finance, the State's Special Fund
for Economic Uncertainties had a deficit, on a budget basis, of approximately
$2.8 billion. The 1993-94 Budget Act incorporated a Deficit Retirement Plan to
repay this deficit over two fiscal years. The original budget for 1993-94
reflected revenues which exceeded expenditures by approximately $2.0 billion. As
a result of the continuing recession, the excess of revenues over expenditures
for the fiscal year was only about $522 million. Thus the accumulated budget
deficit at June 30, 1994 was approximately $2.0 billion, and the deficit will
not be retired by June 30, 1995 as planned.
The accumulated budget deficits over the past several years, together with
expenditures for school funding which have not been reflected in the budget, and
reduction of available internal borrowable funds, have combined to significantly
deplete the State's cash resources to pay its ongoing expenses. In order to meet
its cash needs, the State has had to rely for several years on a series of
external borrowings, including borrowings past the end of a fiscal year.
The 1994-95 Budget Act is projected to have $41.9 billion of General Fund
revenues and transfers and $40.0 billion of budget expenditures. In addition,
the 1994-95 Budget Act anticipates deferring retirement of about $1 billion of
the accumulated budget deficit to the 1995-96 Fiscal Year when it is intended to
be fully retired by June 30, 1996.
1993-94 Budget. The 1993-94 budget represented the third consecutive year of
extremely difficult budget choices for the State, in view of the continuing
recession. The budget act, signed on June 30, 1993, provided for General Fund
expenditures of $38.5 billion, a 6.3% decline from the prior year. Revenues were
projected at $40.6 billion, about $400 million below the prior year. To bring
the budget into balance, the budget act and related legislation provided for
transfer of $2.6 billion of local property taxes to school districts, thus
relieving State support obligations; reductions in health and welfare
expenditures; reductions in support for higher education institutions; a
two-year suspension of the renters' tax credit; and miscellaneous cuts in
general government spending and certain one-time and accounting adjustments.
There were no general State tax increases, but a 0.5% temporary State sales tax
scheduled to expire on June 30 was extended for six months, and dedicated to
support local government public safety costs.
Revenues for 1993-94 were $800 million lower than original projections and
expenditures were $780 million higher as a result of higher health and welfare
caseloads, lower property taxes and lower than anticipated federal government
payments for immigration-related costs.
1994-95 Budget. The 1994-95 fiscal year represents the fourth consecutive
year the Governor and Legislature were faced with a very difficult budget
environment to produce a balanced budget. Many program cuts and budgetary
adjustments have already been made in the last three years. The Budget
recognized that the accumulated deficit could not be repaid in one year, and
proposed a two-year solution. The budget projects operating surpluses for the
budget for both 1994-95 and 1995-96, and lead to the elimination of the
accumulated budget deficit, estimated at about $2.0 billion at June 30, 1994, by
June 30, 1996.
The 1994-95 Budget Act, signed by the Governor on July 8, 1994, projects
revenues and transfers of $41.9 billion, $2.1 billion higher than revenues in
1993-94. This reflects the Administration's forecast of an improving economy.
The Budget Act projects the effective receipt of about $770 million from the
Federal Government, $360 million of which is to reimburse the State's costs for
immigrant-related expenses and the balance is attributable to federal
subventions thus reducing State expenditures. Little or none of this money is
now expected to be received. The Legislature took no action on a proposal in the
January Governor's Budget to undertake an expansion of the transfer of certain
programs to counties, which would also have transferred to counties 0.5% of the
State's current sales tax. The Budget Act projects Special Fund revenues of
$12.1 billion, a decrease of 2.4% from 1993-94 estimated revenues. The
Governor's 1995-96 Budget proposal of January, 1995 included an upward revision
of General Fund revenues to $42.4 billion for the 1994-95 fiscal year.
The 1994-95 Budget Act projects General Fund expenditures of $40.9 billion,
an increase of $1.6 billion over 1993-94. The Budget Act also projects Special
Fund expenditures of $13.7 billion, a 5.4% increase over 1993-94 estimated
expenditures. Although, the 1994-95 Budget Act contains no tax increases, under
legislation enacted for the 1993-94 Budget, the renters' tax credit was
suspended for two years (1993 and 1994). A ballot proposition to permanently
restore the renters' tax credit after this year failed at the June, 1994
election. The Legislature enacted a further one-year suspension of the renters'
tax credit, for 1995, saving about $390 million in the 1995-96 Fiscal Year. The
1994-95 Budget assumes that the State will use a cash flow borrowing program in
1994-95 which combines one-year notes and certain warrants. Issuance of the
warrants allows the State to defer repayment of approximately $1.0 billion of
its accumulated budget deficit into the 1995-96 Fiscal Year. The Budget
Adjustment Law, enacted along with the 1994-95 Budget Act is designed to ensure
that the warrants will be repaid in the 1995-96 Fiscal Year. The State's severe
financial difficulties for the current budget year will result in continued
pressure upon almost all local governments, particularly school districts and
counties which depend on State aid. Despite efforts in recent years to increase
taxes and reduce governmental expenditures, there can be no assurance that the
State will not face budget gaps in the future.
Proposed 1995-96 Budget. On January 10, 1995, the Governor presented his
proposed fiscal year 1995-96 Budget. This budget projects total General Fund
revenues and transfers of $42.5 billion, and expenditures of $41.7 billion, to
complete the elimination of the accumulated budget deficits from earlier years.
However, this proposal leaves no cushion, as the projected budget reserve at
June 30, 1996 would be only about $92 million. While proposing increases in
funding for schools, universities and corrections, the Governor proposes further
cuts in welfare programs, and a continuation of the "realignment" of functions
with counties which would save the State about $240 million. The Governor also
expects about $800 million in new federal aid for the State's costs of
incarcerating and educating illegal immigrants. The Budget proposal also does
not account for possible additional costs if the State loses its appeals on
lawsuits which are currently pending concerning such matters as school funding
and pension payments, but these appeals could take several years to resolve.
Part of the Governor's proposal also is a 15% cut in personal income and
corporate taxes, to be phased in over three years, starting with calendar year
1996 (which would have only a small impact on 1995-96 income).
Legal Proceedings
The State is involved in certain legal proceedings (described in the State's
recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, may require the
State to make significant future expenditures or may substantially impair
revenues.
Economy
California's economy is the largest among the 50 states and one of the
largest in the world. The State's population of over 31 million represents 12.3%
of the total United States population and grew by 27% in the 1980s. Total
personal income in the State, at an estimated $683 billion in 1993, accounts for
about 13% of all personal income in the nation.
Reports issued by the State Department of Finance and the Commission on
State Finance indicate that the State's economy is recovering from its worst
recession since the 1930s. The largest job losses have been in Southern
California, led by declines in the aerospace and construction industries.
Weakness statewide occurred in manufacturing, construction, services and trade.
Additional military base closures will have further adverse effects on the
State's economy later in the decade. California's unemployment rate was 7.9% in
April, 1995, a significant improvement over the previous year's level of 9.3%
but still above the national rate of 5.8%.
Other Considerations
On December 7, 1994, Orange County, California (the "County"), together with
its pooled investment fund (the "Fund") filed for protection under Chapter 9 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, after reports that the Fund had suffered
significant market losses in its investments which caused a liquidity crisis for
the Fund and the County. More than 180 other public entities, most but not all
located in the County, were also depositors in the Fund. As of December 13,
1994, the County estimated the Fund's loss at about $2 billion, or 27% of its
initial deposits of around $7.4 billion. These losses could increase as the
County sells investments to restructure the Fund, or if interest rates rise.
Many of the entities which kept moneys in the Fund, including the County, are
facing cash flow difficulties because of the bankruptcy filing and may be
required to reduce programs or capital projects. The County and some of these
entities have, and others may in the future, default in payment of their
obligations. Moody's and S&P have suspended, reduced to below investment grade
levels, or placed on "Credit Watch" various securities of the County and the
entities participating in the Fund. As of December 1994, the Portfolio did not
hold any direct obligations of the County. However, the Portfolio did hold bonds
of some of the governmental units that had money invested with the County; the
impact of the loss of access to these funds, the loss of expected investment
earnings and the potential loss of some of the principal invested is not known
at this point. There can be no assurances that these holdings will maintain
their current ratings and/or liquidity in the market.
Although the State of California has no obligation with respect to any
obligations or securities of the County or any of the other participating
entities, under existing legal precedents, the State may be obligated to ensure
that school districts have sufficient funds to operate. Longer term, this
financial crisis could have an adverse impact on the economic recovery that has
only recently taken hold in Southern California.
In early June, 1995, Orange County filed a proposal with the bankruptcy
court that would require holders of the County's short-term notes to wait a year
before being repaid. The existence of this proposal and its adoption could
disrupt the market for short-term debt in California and possibly drive up the
State's borrowing costs.
The repayment of industrial development securities and other obligations
secured by real property may be affected by California laws limiting foreclosure
rights of creditors. Securities backed by healthcare and hospital revenues may
be affected by changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to
health care providers under Medi-Cal (the State's Medicaid program), including
risks related to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain
hospitals.
Limitations on ad valorem property taxes may particularly affect "tax
allocation" bonds issued by California redevelopment agencies. Such bonds are
secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment project
area after the start of redevelopment activity. In the event that assessed
values in the redevelopment project area decline (e.g., because of a major
natural disaster such as an earthquake), or there is a deemphasis or
reallocation of property taxes by legislation or initiative, the tax increment
revenue may be insufficient to make principal and interest payments on these
bonds. Both Moody's and S&P suspended ratings on California tax allocation bonds
after the enactment of Articles XIII A and XIII B, and only resumed such ratings
on a selective basis.
Proposition 87, approved by California voters in 1988, required that all
revenues produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which
increased such tax rate to repay the entity's general obligation indebtedness.
As a result, redevelopment agencies (which, typically, are the issuers of tax
allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes
on property in the project area are increased to repay voter-approved bonded
indebtedness.
The effect of these various constitutional and statutory changes upon the
ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal
on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore, other measures affecting the
taxing or spending authority of California or its political subdivisions may be
approved or enacted in the future. Legislation has been or may be introduced
which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures or which
either would further limit or, alternatively, would increase the abilities of
state and local governments to impose new taxes or increase existing taxes. It
is not presently possible to predict the extent to which any such legislation
will be enacted. Nor is it presently possible to determine the impact of any
such legislation on California municipal obligations in which the Portfolio may
invest, future allocations of state revenues to local governments or the
abilities of state or local governments to pay the interest on, or repay the
principal of, such California municipal obligations.
Certain California obligations may be payable solely from the revenues of
health care institutions. Such revenues may be negatively affected by efforts of
the state and of private health plans and insurers to contract with such
institutions for fixed, discounted payments for services to Medicaid and
insurance beneficiaries. Such California obligations may be insured by the
state. In the event of a default by the health care institution, the state has
the option of issuing replacement debentures payable from a reserve fund.
However, this reserve fund has been found to be underfunded in a study conducted
in 1986 and is subject to reappropriation by the California Legislature for
other purposes.
Certain California obligations may be secured by real estate mortgages or
deeds of trust. California has several statutory provisions that may limit the
remedies of secured creditors, such as issuers of California obligations. A
creditor's right to obtain a deficiency judgment is barred when a foreclosure is
accomplished through a nonjudicial trustee's sale. A secured creditor is also
required to exhaust its real property security by foreclosure before bringing a
personal action against the debtor. Any deficiency judgment following a judicial
sale of foreclosed property is limited to the excess of the outstanding debt
over the fair value of the property at the time of sale, even if the actual bids
at such sale were lower than such value. Finally, the debtor has the right to
redeem the foreclosed property from any judicial foreclosure sale that could
result in a deficiency judgment.
Due to certain limitations on a creditor's private powers of sale after
foreclosure, the effective minimum period for foreclosing on a mortgage could
exceed seven months after the initial default. Such delays in collections could
disrupt the flow of revenues to an issuer for the payment of debt service on
California obligations secured by real estate mortgages. In some cases, the
nonjudicial sale of property by an issuer could be precluded as a violation of
constitutional due process.
Under California's anti-deficiency law, there is no personal recourse
against a mortgagor of a single family residence purchased with a loan secured
by a mortgage. California law also limits the charges that may be imposed with
respect to voluntary mortgage prepayments. These provisions could affect the
flow of revenues available for debt service to the issuers of California
obligations secured by single family home mortgages.
Substantially all of California is within an active geologic region subject
to major seismic activity. Any California municipal obligation in the Portfolio
could be affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities,
or, consequently, income tax deduction for casualty losses or property tax
assessment reductions. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by
the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained earthquake insurance coverage at
reasonable rates; (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in
the event of widespread losses; or (iii) the Federal or State government to
appropriate sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.
On January 17, 1994, an earthquake struck Los Angeles causing significant
damage to public and private structures and facilities. Although some
individuals and businesses suffered losses totaling in the billions of dollars,
the overall effect of the earthquake on the regional and State economy is not
expected to be serious.
The State has shifted responsibility for certain health and welfare programs
and provided the counties with increased taxing powers to cover their costs.
While the State expects that the increased taxes will be sufficient to cover
increased costs, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. If the
increased costs are not covered by the increased taxes, the counties will be
responsible to fund the difference. Any added expenditures in excess of
increased revenues and subsequent adverse effect upon county finances would
likely have a negative impact upon individual county and local bond prices.
FEES AND EXPENSES
INVESTMENT ADVISER
As of March 31, 1995, the Portfolio had net assets of $82,343,725. For the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Portfolio paid BMR advisory fees of
$418,800 (equivalent to 0.46% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets for
such year). For the period from the Portfolio's start of business, May 3, 1993,
to March 31, 1994, absent a fee reduction, the Portfolio would have paid BMR
advisory fees of $278,603 (equivalent to 0.45% (annualized) of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets for such period). To enhance the net income of the
Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of its advisory fee in the amount of $32,971.
The Portfolio's Investment Advisory Agreement with BMR is dated October 13, 1992
and remains in effect until February 28, 1996. The Agreement may be continued as
described under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in Part I of this
Statement of Additional Information.
ADMINISTRATOR
As stated under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in Part I of this
Statement of Additional Information, the Administrator currently receives no
compensation for providing administrative services to the Fund. For the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1995 and for the period from the start of business,
December 8, 1993, to March 31, 1994, $34,529 and $8,889, respectively, of the
Fund's operating expenses were allocated to the Administrator.

Information. Prior to February 1, 1996, the Fund made sales commission,
distribution fee and service fee payments pursuant to a Distribution Plan.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Principal Underwriter paid to
Authorized Firms sales commissions of $85,585 under that Plan on the sale of
Fund shares. During the same period, the Fund made sales commission payments to
the Principal Underwriter under that Plan aggregating $86,137, which reduced
Uncovered Distribution Charges. As at March 31, 1995 the outstanding Uncovered
Distribution Charges of the Principal Underwriter calculated under that Plan
amounted to approximately $1,286,000 (which amount was equivalent to 16.1% of
the Fund's net assets on such day). During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995,
the Fund made service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter under the
Distribution Plan aggregating $17,159, of which $17,009 was paid as service fee
payments to Authorized Firms and the balance of which was retained by the
Principal Underwriter.
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

ADDITIONAL OFFICER INFORMATION
The Portfolio has the following officer not listed under "Officers of the
Trust and the Portfolio" in the Fund's Part I of this Statement of Additional
Information.
RAYMOND E. HENDER (51), Vice President of the Portfolio
Vice President of BMR, Eaton Vance and EV and an employee of Eaton Vance since
September 8, 1992. Senior Vice President, Bank of New England (1989-1992).

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The table below indicates the cumulative and average annual total return on
a hypothetical investment of $1,000 in the Fund from May 29, 1992 through March
31, 1995 and for the one-year ended March 31, 1995. The total return for the
period prior to the Fund's commencement of operations on December 8, 1993
reflects the Portfolio's total return (or that of its predecessor) adjusted to
reflect any applicable Fund sales charge. The total return has not been adjusted
to reflect the Fund's service fees and certain other expenses. The performance
(including the yield and distribution rate figures set forth below) reflects the
Fund's sales charge effective February 1, 1996.

Fund shares redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1%.
</TABLE>
For the thirty-day period ended March 31, 1995, the yield of the Fund was
3.71%. The yield required of a taxable security that would produce an after-tax
yield equivalent to that earned by the Fund of 3.71% would be 5.97%, assuming a
combined federal and State tax rate of 37.90%. If a portion of the Fund's
expenses had not been allocated to the Administrator, the Fund would have had a
lower yield.
The Fund's distribution rate (calculated on March 31, 1995 and based on the
Fund's monthly distribution paid March 22, 1995) was 3.66%, and the Fund's
effective distribution rate (calculated on the same date and based on the same
monthly distribution) was 3.72%. If a portion of the Fund's expenses had not
been allocated to the Administrator, the Fund would have had a lower
distribution rate and effective distribution rate.
From time to time, information, charts and illustrations similar to the
following, showing changes in certificate of deposit yields, and yields and
taxable equivalent yields of limited maturity municipal bonds may be included in
advertisements and other material supplied to present and prospective
shareholders.
See the Tax Equivalent Yield Table in this Part II for information
concerning applicable tax rate and income brackets.
ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS
Individual shareholders of the Fund who reside in California will not be
subject to California personal income tax on distributions received from the
Fund to the extent such distributions are attributable to interest on
obligations the interest on which is exempt under either federal or California
law from taxation by the State of California, provided that at least 50% of the
Portfolio's assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year is invested
in such obligations. Distributions from the Fund which are attributable to
sources other than those in the preceding sentence will generally be taxable to
such individual shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions of the Fund's net
capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss) are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains for
California personal income tax purposes. In addition, distributions other than
exempt-interest dividends are includable in income subject to the California
alternative minimum tax. Shares of the Fund will not be subject to the
California property tax.
Distributions of investment income and long-term and short-term capital
gains from the Fund will not be excluded from taxable income in determining
California corporate taxes for corporate shareholders. However, distributions of
the Fund's net capital gains are treated as long-term capital gains for
California corporate tax purposes. In addition, distributions may be includable
in income subject to the alternative minimum tax.
California tax law resembles federal tax law in restricting the
deductibility of interest on indebtedness incurred by shareholders to purchase
shares and the allowance of losses realized by a shareholder upon the sale or
redemption of shares.
CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES
As at June 30, 1995, the Trustees and officers of the Trust, as a group,
owned in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of
June 30, 1995, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., New Brunswick, NJ
was the record owner of approximately 62.4% of the outstanding shares, which
were held on behalf of its customers who are the beneficial owners of such
shares, and as to which it had voting power under certain limited circumstances.
In addition, as of June 30, 1995, Painewebber FBO Joan D. McCauley TTEE, San
Francisco, CA owned beneficially and of record 6.79% of the outstanding shares
of the Fund. To the Trust's knowledge, no other person owned of record or
beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's outstanding shares as of such date.

TAX EQUIVALENT YIELD TABLE
The table below shows the approximate yield a taxable security must earn at
various income brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of tax
exempt bonds yielding from 4% to 7% under the 1996 regular federal income tax
rates and California State income tax laws and tax rates applicable for 1995.

+ The combined tax brackets are calculated using the highest California State rate within the bracket. Taxpayers with taxable
income within each bracket may have a lower combined tax bracket and taxable equivalent yield than indicated above. The
combined tax brackets assume that California taxes are itemized deductions for federal income tax purposes. Investors who do
not itemize deductions on their federal income tax return will have a higher combine tax bracket and taxable equivalent yield
than those indicated above. The applicable federal tax rates within the brackets set forth above are 15%, 28%, 31%, 36% and
39.6% over the same ranges of income.
</TABLE>
Note: The federal income tax portion of above-indicated combined income tax
brackets does not take into account the effect of a reduction in the
deductibility of itemized deductions (including California State income taxes)
for taxpayers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950. The tax brackets
also do not show the effects of phaseout of personal exemptions for single
filers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950 and joint filers with
adjusted gross income in excess of $176,950. The effective tax brackets and
equivalent taxable yields of such taxpayers will be higher than those indicated
above.
Yields shown are for illustration purposes only and are not meant to represent
the Fund's actual yield. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve
any specific tax exempt yield. While it is expected that the Portfolio will
invest principally in obligations the interest from which is exempt from the
regular federal income tax and California personal income taxes, other income
received by the Portfolio and allocated to the Fund may be taxable. The table
does not take into account state or local taxes, if any, payable on Fund
distributions except for California personal income taxes. It should also be
noted that the interest earned on certain "private activity bonds" issued after
August 7, 1986, while exempt from the regular federal income tax, is treated as
a tax preference item which could subject the recipient to the federal
alternative minimum tax. The illustrations assume that the federal alternative
minimum tax is not applicable and do not take into account any tax credits that
may be available.
The information set forth above is as of the date of this Statement of
Additional Information. Subsequent tax law changes could result in prospective
or retroactive changes in the tax brackets, tax rates, and tax equivalent yields
set forth above. Investors should consult their tax adviser for additional
information.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PART II
This Part II provides information about EV TRADITIONAL CONNECTICUT LIMITED
MATURITY MUNICIPALS FUND. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide (1)
a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and
Connecticut State personal income taxes and (2) limited principal fluctuation.
The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing its
assets in the Connecticut Limited Maturity Municipals Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"). The Fund changed its name from EV Classic Connecticut Limited
Maturity Tax Free Fund to EV Classic Connecticut Limited Maturity Municipals
Fund on December 8, 1995 and to EV Traditional Connecticut Municipals Fund on
February 1, 1996.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund may not:
(1) Purchase securities on margin (but the Fund may obtain such short-term
credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
securities). The deposit or payment by the Fund of initial or maintenance margin
in connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not
considered the purchase of a security on margin;
(2) Borrow money or issue senior securities except as permitted by the
lnvestment Company Act of 1940;
(3) Underwrite or participate in the marketing of securities of others,
except insofar as it may technically be deemed to be an underwriter in selling a
portfolio security under circumstances which may require the registration of the
same under the Securities Act of 1933;
(4) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests in
real estate, but excluding readily marketable interests in real estate
investment trusts or readily marketable securities of companies which invest or
deal in real estate or securities which are secured by real estate);
(5) Purchase or sell physical commodities or contracts for the purchase or
sale of physical commodities; or
(6) Make loans to any person except by (a) the acquisition of debt
instruments and making portfolio investments, (b) entering into repurchase
agreements, and (c) lending portfolio securities.
Notwithstanding the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund, the
Fund may invest all of its investable assets in an open-end management
investment company with substantially the same investment objective, policies
and restrictions as the Fund.
The Fund and the Portfolio have adopted the following investment policies
which may be changed by the Trust with respect to the Fund without approval by
the Fund's shareholders or by the Portfolio with respect to the Portfolio
without approval by the Fund or its other investors. As a matter of
nonfundamental policy, the Fund and the Portfolio will not: (a) engage in
options, futures or forward transactions if more than 5% of its net assets, as
measured by the aggregate of the premiums paid by the Fund or the Portfolio,
would be so invested; (b) make short sales of securities or maintain a short
position, unless at all times when a short position is open it owns an equal
amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable,
without payment of any further consideration, for securities of the same issue
as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short, and unless not more than
25% of the Fund's net assets (taken at current value) is held as collateral for
such sales at any one time. (The Fund and the Portfolio will make such sales
only for the purpose of deferring realization of gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes); (c) invest more than 15% of net assets in investments which are
not readily marketable, including restricted securities and repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days. Restricted securities for the
purposes of this limitation do not include securities eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and commercial paper
issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of said Act that the Board of Trustees of the
Trust or the Portfolio, or its delegate, determines to be liquid; (d) purchase
or retain in its portfolio any securities issued by an issuer any of whose
officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer or Trustee of
the Trust or the Portfolio or is a member, officer, director or trustee of any
investment adviser of the Trust or the Portfolio, if after the purchase of the
securities of such issuer by the Fund or the Portfolio one or more of such
persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the shares or securities or
both (all taken at market value) of such issuer and such persons owning more
than 1/2 of 1% of such shares or securities together own beneficially more than
5% of such shares or securities or both (all taken at market value); or (e)
purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases or purchase partnership interests in
oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs.
In order to permit the sale of shares of the Fund in certain states, the
Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the policies described above.
Should the Fund determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders, it will revoke the commitment by
terminating sales of its shares in the state(s) involved.
RISKS OF CONCENTRATION
The following information as to certain Connecticut considerations is given
to investors in view of the Portfolio's policy of concentrating its investments
in Connecticut issuers. Such information is derived from sources that are
generally available to investors and is believed to be accurate. Such
information constitutes only a brief summary, does not purport to be a complete
description and is based on information from official statements relating to
securities offerings of Connecticut issuers. Neither the Trust nor the Portfolio
has independently verified this information.
Although the manufacturing sector has traditionally been of prime economic
importance to Connecticut, the non-manufacturing sector of employment (primarily
aircraft engines, helicopters and submarines) now dominate the State's economy.
Approximately 82% of the State's non-agricultural employment is in the
non-manufacturing sector, with 30% of the total in the service sector, 22% in
the wholesale and retail trade sector, and 14% in the government sector.
Defense-related business plays an important role in the Connecticut economy, and
defense awards to Connecticut have traditionally been among the highest in the
nation on a per capita basis. However, in recent years the Federal government
has reduced defense-related spending which has had an adverse impact on the
Connecticut economy.
As of April 1995, the unemployment rate in Connecticut on a seasonally
adjusted basis was 4.9%, compared to 5.86% for the nation. Between March 1994
and March 1995, the State gained 13,700 non-farm jobs, with gains in the
services, trade and construction sectors offsetting losses in the manufacturing
(durable goods), finance, insurance and real estate sectors of the economy. The
State's economy is beginning a slow recovery, constrained by military spending
cuts and cost containment pressures in the insurance and biomedical industries.
The full economic impact of continued corporate downsizing in the defense and
insurance industries may not be fully realized.
The State derives over 70% of its revenues from taxes imposed by the State.
The two major taxes have been the sales and use tax and the corporation business
tax, each of which is sensitive to changes in the level of economic activity in
the State, but the Connecticut personal income tax on individuals, trusts, and
estates enacted in 1991 is expected to supersede them in importance. In order to
promote economic stability and provide a positive business climate, several tax
changes were adopted during the 1993 legislative session. Among the most
significant changes were the changes to the Corporation Business Tax -- a 4 year
gradual rate reduction to 11.25% beginning January 1, 1995; 11% beginning
January 1, 1996; 10.5% beginning January 1, 1997 and 10% beginning January 1,
1998.
During fiscal 1991-92, the State issued $965.7 million of Economic Recovery
Notes, of which $555.6 million remained outstanding as of October 1, 1994. The
State ended the 1992-93 fiscal year with a $113.5 million General Fund operating
surplus and a $19.7 million General Fund surplus for the 1993- 94 fiscal year.
The State, its officers and employees are defendants in numerous lawsuits.
According to the State Attorney General's Office, an adverse decision in any of
the cases summarized herein could materially affect the State's financial
position: (i) an action to enforce the spending cap provision of the State's
constitution by seeking to require that the General Assembly define certain
terms used therein and to enjoin certain increases in "general budget
expenditures" until this is done; (ii) litigation on behalf of black and
hispanic school children in the City of Hartford seeking "integrated education"
within the greater Hartford metropolitan area; (iii) litigation involving claims
by Indian tribes to less than 1/10 of 1% of the State's land area; (iv)
litigation challenging the State's method of financing elementary and secondary
public schools on the grounds that it denies equal access to education; (v) an
action in which two retarded persons seek placement outside a State hospital,
new programs, and damages on behalf of themselves and all mentally retarded
patients at the hospital; (vi) litigation involving claims for refunds of taxes
by several cable television companies; (vii) an action on behalf of all persons
with retardation or traumatic brain injury, claiming that their constitutional
rights are violated by placement in State hospitals alleged not to provide
adequate treatment and training, and seeking placement in community residential
settings with appropriate support services; (viii) an action by the Connecticut
Hospital Association and 33 hospitals seeking to require the State to reimburse
hospitals for in-patient medical services on a more favorable basis; (ix) a
class action by the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association claiming a
campaign of illegal surveillance activity and seeking damages and injunctive
relief; (x) two actions for monetary damages brought by a former patient at a
State mental hospital stemming from an attempted suicide that left her
brain-damaged; (xi) an action challenging the validity of the State's imposition
of surcharges on hospital charges to finance certain uncompensated care costs
incurred by hospitals; and (xii) an action challenging the validity of the
State's imposition of gross earnings taxes on hospital revenues to finance
certain uncompensated care costs.
FEES AND EXPENSES
INVESTMENT ADVISER
As of March 31, 1995, the Portfolio had net assets of $17,315,618. For the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, absent a fee reduction, the Portfolio would
have paid BMR advisory fees of $80,031 (equivalent to 0.45% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets for such year). To enhance the net income of the
Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of the full amount of its advisory fee and BMR
was allocated a portion of the expenses related to the operation of the
Portfolio in the amount of $8,932. For the period from the Portfolio"s start of
business, April 16, 1993, to March 31, 1994, absent a fee reduction, the
Portfolio would have paid BMR advisory fees of $34,054 (equivalent to 0.44%
(annualized) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets for such period). To
enhance the net income of the Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of the full amount
of its advisory fee and BMR was allocated a portion of the expenses related to
the operation of the Portfolio in the amount of $14,314. The Portfolio's
Investment Advisory Agreement with BMR is dated April 9, 1993 and remains in
effect until February 28, 1996. The Agreement may be continued as described
under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in Part I of this Statement of
Additional Information.
ADMINISTRATOR
As stated under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in Part I of this
Statement of Additional Information, the Administrator currently receives no
compensation for providing administrative services to the Fund. For the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1995 and for the period from the start of business,
December 27, 1993, to March 31, 1994, $24,567 and $2,897, respectively, of the
Fund's operating expenses were allocated to the Administrator.
SERVICE PLAN
The Service Plan remains in effect until April 28, 1996 and may be continued
as described under "Service Plan" in Part I of this Statement of Additional
Information. Prior to February 1, 1996, the Fund made sales commission,
distribution fee and service fee payments pursuant to a Distribution Plan.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Principal Underwriter paid to
Authorized Firms sales commissions of $16,394 under that Plan on the sale of
Fund shares. During the same period, the Fund made sales commission payments to
the Principal Underwriter under that Plan aggregating $16,580, which reduced
Uncovered Distribution Charges. As at March 31, 1995 the outstanding Uncovered
Distribution Charges of the Principal Underwriter calculated under that Plan
amounted to approximately $217,000 (which amount was equivalent to 13.7% of the
Fund's net assets on such day). During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the
Fund made service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter under the
Distribution Plan aggregating $3,302, of which $3,236 was paid as service fees
to Authorized Firms and the balance of which was retained by the Principal
Underwriter.
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Fund paid the Principal
Underwriter $115.00 for repurchase transactions handled by the Principal

For the thirty-day period ended March 31, 1995, the yield of the Fund was
3.63%. The yield required of a taxable security that would produce an after-tax
yield equivalent to that earned by the Fund of 3.63% would be 5.51%, assuming a
combined federal and State tax rate of 34.11%. If a portion of the Portfolio's
and the Fund's expenses had not been allocated to the Investment Adviser and the
Administrator, respectively, the Fund would have had a lower yield.
The Fund's distribution rate (calculated on March 31, 1995 and based on the
Fund's monthly distribution paid March 22, 1995) was 3.54%, and the Fund's
effective distribution rate (calculated on the same date and based on the same
monthly distribution) was 3.59%. If a portion of the Portfolio's and the Fund's

CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES As at June 30,
1995, the Trustees and officers of the Trust, as a group,
owned in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of
June 30, 1995, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., New Brunswick, NJ,
was the record owner of approximately 60.8% of the outstanding shares, which
were held on behalf of its customers who are the beneficial owners of such
shares, and as to which it had voting power under certain limited circumstances.
To the Trust's knowledge, no other person owned of record or beneficially 5% or
more of the Fund's outstanding shares as of such date.

+ The combined federal and Connecticut tax brackets are calculated using the highest Connecticut tax rate within each bracket,
reduced by available tax credits. Taxpayers with taxable income within these brackets may have a lower combined tax bracket
and taxable equivalent yield than indicated above. Tax credits reduce the effective Connecticut tax rate for single filers
with taxable income up to $52,500 and joint filers up to $100,500. The combined tax brackets assume that Connecticut taxes
are itemized deductions for federal income tax purposes. Investors who do not itemize deductions on their federal income tax
return will have a higher combined bracket and higher taxable equivalent yield than those indicated above. The applicable
federal tax rates within the brackets are 15%, 28%, 31%, 36% and 39.6%, over the same ranges of income.
</TABLE>
Note: The federal income tax portion of above-indicated combined income tax
brackets does not take into account the effect of a reduction in the
deductibility of itemized deductions (including Connecticut State income taxes)
for taxpayers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950. The tax brackets
also do not show the effects of phaseout of personal exemptions for single
filers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950 and joint filers with
adjusted gross income in excess of $176,950. The effective tax brackets and
equivalent taxable yields of such taxpayers will be higher than those indicated
above.
Yields shown are for illustration purposes only and are not meant to represent
the Fund's actual yield. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve
any specific tax exempt yield. While it is expected that the Portfolio will
invest principally in obligations, the interest from which is exempt from the
regular federal income tax and Connecticut personal income taxes, other income
received by the Portfolio and allocated to the Fund may be taxable. The table
does not take into account state or local taxes, if any, payable on Fund
distributions except for Connecticut personal income taxes. It should also be
noted that the interest earned on certain "private activity bonds" issued after
August 7, 1986, while exempt from the regular federal income tax, is treated as
a tax preference item which could subject the recipient to the federal
alternative minimum tax. The illustrations assume that the federal alternative
minimum tax is not applicable and do not take into account any tax credits that
may be available.
The information set forth above is as of the date of this Statement of
Additional Information. Subsequent tax law changes could result in prospective
or retroactive changes in the tax brackets, tax rates, and tax equivalent yields
set forth above. Investors should consult their tax adviser for additional
information.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PART II
This Part II provides information about EV TRADITIONAL MICHIGAN LIMITED
MATURITY MUNICIPALS FUND. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide (1)
a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and
Michigan State and City income and single business taxes in the form of an
investment exempt from Michigan intangibles tax, and (2) limited principal
fluctuation. The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing its assets in the Michigan Limited Maturity Municipals Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"). The Fund changed its name from EV Classic Michigan Limited
Maturity Tax Free Fund to EV Classic Michigan Limited Maturity Municipals Fund
on December 8, 1995 and to EV Traditional Michigan Limited Maturity Municipals
Fund on February 1, 1996.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund may not:
(1) Purchase securities on margin (but the Fund may obtain such short-term
credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
securities). The deposit or payment by the Fund of initial or maintenance margin
in connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not
considered the purchase of a security on margin;
(2) Borrow money or issue senior securities except as permitted by the
lnvestment Company Act of 1940;
(3) Underwrite or participate in the marketing of securities of others,
except insofar as it may technically be deemed to be an underwriter in selling a
portfolio security under circumstances which may require the registration of the
same under the Securities Act of 1933;
(4) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests in
real estate, but excluding readily marketable interests in real estate
investment trusts or readily marketable securities of companies which invest or
deal in real estate or securities which are secured by real estate);
(5) Purchase or sell physical commodities or contracts for the purchase or
sale of physical commodities; or
(6) Make loans to any person except by (a) the acquisition of debt
instruments and making portfolio investments, (b) entering into repurchase
agreements, and (c) lending portfolio securities.
Notwithstanding the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund, the
Fund may invest all of its investable assets in an open-end management
investment company with substantially the same investment objective, policies
and restrictions as the Fund.
The Fund and the Portfolio have adopted the following investment policies
which may be changed by the Trust with respect to the Fund without approval by
the Fund's shareholders or by the Portfolio with respect to the Portfolio
without approval by the Fund or its other investors. As a matter of
nonfundamental policy, the Fund and the Portfolio will not: (a) engage in
options, futures or forward transactions if more than 5% of its net assets, as
measured by the aggregate of the premiums paid by the Fund or the Portfolio,
would be so invested; (b) make short sales of securities or maintain a short
position, unless at all times when a short position is open it owns an equal
amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable,
without payment of any further consideration, for securities of the same issue
as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short, and unless not more than
25% of the Fund's net assets (taken at current value) is held as collateral for
such sales at any one time. (The Fund and the Portfolio will make such sales
only for the purpose of deferring realization of gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes); (c) invest more than 15% of net assets in investments which are
not readily marketable, including restricted securities and repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days. Restricted securities for the
purposes of this limitation do not include securities eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and commercial paper
issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of said Act that the Board of Trustees of the
Trust or the Portfolio, or its delegate, determines to be liquid; (d) purchase
or retain in its portfolio any securities issued by an issuer any of whose
officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer or Trustee of
the Trust or the Portfolio or is a member, officer, director or trustee of any
investment adviser of the Trust or the Portfolio, if after the purchase of the
securities of such issuer by the Fund or the Portfolio one or more of such
persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the shares or securities or
both (all taken at market value) of such issuer and such persons owning more
than 1/2 of 1% of such shares or securities together own beneficially more than
5% of such shares or securities or both (all taken at market value); or (e)
purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases or purchase partnership interests in
oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs.
In order to permit the sale of shares of the Fund in certain states, the
Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the policies described above.
Should the Fund determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders, it will revoke the commitment by
terminating sales of its shares in the state(s) involved.
RISKS OF CONCENTRATION
The following information as to certain Michigan considerations is given to
investors in view of the Portfolio's policy of concentrating its investments in
Michigan issuers. Such information is derived from sources that are generally
available to investors and is believed to be accurate. Such information
constitutes only a brief summary, does not purport to be a complete description
and is based on information from official statements relating to securities
offerings of Michigan issuers. Neither the Trust nor the Portfolio has
independently verified this information.
The State's economy is overly dependent on the manufacturing sector, more
specifically the auto industry. Manufacturing accounts for 23% of total
employment as compared to the national average of 17%. The dependency on
manufacturing makes the State economy overly susceptible to economic downturns.
For the first time since 1966, the unemployment rate was below the national
average. An improving economy and successful cost containment have enabled the
State to improve its financial position. For 1994, the Budget Stabilization Fund
was $779 million and is projected to reach $1.1 billion for 1995. The Governor
has proposed reducing individual and business income taxes. For 1996, revenues
are estimated to grow 4.7% while expenditures will grow by a similar rate.
In March, 1994, Michigan voters approved a change in the tax system. The
most significant provisions were an increase in the sales tax rate from 4% to
6%, a reduction in the income tax rate from 4.6% to 4.4% and the creation of a
statewide property tax. These changes are expected to provide sufficient
revenues to offset the elimination of property taxes for school district
operating purposes. There can be no assurance that school districts will receive
sufficient revenues to be able to service any limited tax bonds they may have
outstanding and which may be held by the Portfolio.
Under the State Constitution, the Legislature is prohibited from raising
taxes if doing so would cause total State revenues (except Federal aid) to
exceed 10% of State personal income. The only exceptions to this revenue limit
are a majority approval of a referendum question or a specific emergency
declared by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. However, this limit does not
apply to taxes imposed for the payment of principal and interest on bonds of the
State, if the bonds are approved by voters and authorized by a vote of
two-thirds of the members of each House of the Legislature. Local units of
government and local authorities are authorized to issue bonds and other
evidences of indebtedness in a variety of situations without the approval of
electors, but the ability of the obligor to levy taxes for the payment of such
obligations is subject to the foregoing limitations unless the obligations were
authorized before December 23, 1978 or approved by the electors. The
Constitution prohibits the State from reducing the proportion of total State
spending paid to all local units of government, taken as a group, below that
proportion in effect in the 1978-79 fiscal year. The State may not mandate new
or increased levels of services to be provided by local units without making
appropriations to cover any increased costs.
Under the State Constitution, the total amount of general ad valorem taxes
imposed on taxable property in any year cannot exceed certain millage
limitations specified by the Constitution, statute or charter. The Constitution
prohibits local units of government from levying any tax not authorized by law
or charter, or from increasing the rate of an existing tax above the rate
authorized by law or charter. The Constitution also contains millage reduction
provisions. Under such provisions, should the value of taxable property
(exclusive of new construction and improvements) increase at a percentage
greater than the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, the maximum
authorized tax rate would be reduced by a factor which would result in the same
maximum potential tax revenues to the local taxing unit as if the valuation of
taxable property (less new construction and improvements) had grown only at the
Consumer Price Index rate instead of at the higher actual growth rate. Thus, if
taxable property values rise faster than consumer prices, the maximum authorized
tax rate would be increased at the Consumer Price Index rate. Conversely, if
taxable property values rise slower than consumer prices, tax rates may be
raised accordingly, but never higher than the rate authorized on December 23,
1978, without elector approval.
The ability of the State to pay the principal and interest on its general
obligation bonds may be affected by the limitations described above. Similarly,
the ability of local units to levy taxes to pay the principal of and interest on
their general obligations is subject to the constitutional, statutory and
charter limits described below.
FEES AND EXPENSES
INVESTMENT ADVISER
As of March 31, 1995, the Portfolio had net assets of $33,198,016. For the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, absent a fee reduction, the Portfolio would
have paid BMR advisory fees of $163,811 (equivalent to 0.46% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets for such year). To enhance the net income of the
Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of its advisory fee in the amount of $40,822.
For the period from the start of business, April 16, 1993, to the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1994, absent a fee reduction, BMR would have earned advisory
fees of $80,215 (equivalent to 0.44% (annualized) of the Portfolio's average
daily net assets for such period). To enhance the net income of the Portfolio,
BMR made a reduction in the full amount of its advisory fee and BMR was
allocated expenses related to the operation of the Portfolio in the amount of
$17,786. The Portfolio's Investment Advisory Agreement with BMR is dated April
9, 1993 and remains in effect until February 28, 1996. The Agreement may be
continued as described under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in Part I of
this Statement of Additional Information.
ADMINISTRATOR
As stated under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in Part I of this
Statement of Additional Information, the Administrator currently receives no
compensation for providing administrative services to the Fund. For the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1995, $25,718 of the Fund's operating expenses were
allocated to the Administrator.
SERVICE PLAN
The Service Plan remains in effect until April 28, 1996 and may be continued
as described under "Service Plan" in Part I of this Statement of Additional
Information. Prior to February 1, 1996, the Fund made sales commission,
distribution fee and service fee payments pursuant to a Distribution Plan.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Principal Underwriter paid to
Authorized Firms sales commissions of $61,510 under that Plan on the sale of
Fund shares. During the same period, the Fund made sales commission payments to
the Principal Underwriter under that Plan aggregating $61,842, which reduced
Uncovered Distribution Charges. As at March 31, 1995, the outstanding Uncovered
Distribution Charges of the Principal Underwriter calculated under that Plan
amounted to approximately $856,000 (which amount was equivalent to 12.39% of the
Fund's net assets on such day). For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the
Fund made service fee payments under the Distribution Plan aggregating $12,347,
of which $12,302 was paid as service fee payments to Authorized Firms and the
balance of which was retained by the Principal Underwriter.
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Fund paid the Principal
Underwriter $297.50 for repurchase transactions handled by the Principal
Underwriter (being $2.50 for each such transaction).
CUSTODIAN
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Portfolio paid IBT $10,848.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Fund paid IBT $5,042.
BROKERAGE
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 and for the period from the start
of business, April 16, 1993, to March 31, 1994, the Portfolio paid no brokerage
commissions on portfolio transactions.

+ The combined tax brackets include a Michigan tax rate of 4.4%, Michigan City income tax rate of 1% (which may vary by city),
and a Michigan intangibles tax rate of 1.75%, and assume that Michigan State and local taxes are itemized deductions for
federal income tax purposes. Investors who do not itemize deductions on their federal income tax return will have a higher
combined bracket and higher taxable equivalent yield than those indicated above. The applicable federal tax rates within the
brackets are 15%, 28%, 31%, 36% and 39.6%, over the same ranges of income.
</TABLE>
Note: The federal income tax portion of above-indicated combined income tax
brackets does not take into account the effect of a reduction in the
deductibility of itemized deductions (including Michigan State and local income
taxes) for taxpayers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950. The tax
brackets also do not show the effects of phaseout of personal exemptions for
single filers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950 and joint filers
with adjusted gross income in excess of $176,950. The effective tax brackets and
equivalent taxable yields of such taxpayers will be higher than those indicated
above.
Yields shown are for illustration purposes only and are not meant to represent
the Fund's actual yield. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve
any specific tax exempt yield. While it is expected that the Portfolio will
invest principally in obligations, the interest from which is exempt from the
regular federal income tax and Michigan personal income taxes, other income
received by the Portfolio and allocated to the Fund may be taxable. The table
does not take into account state or local taxes, if any, payable on Fund
distributions except for Michigan personal income taxes. It should also be noted
that the interest earned on certain "private activity bonds" issued after August
7, 1986, while exempt from the regular federal income tax, is treated as a tax
preference item which could subject the recipient to the federal alternative
minimum tax. The illustrations assume that the federal alternative minimum tax
is not applicable and do not take into account any tax credits that may be
available.
The information set forth above is as of the date of this Statement of
Additional Information. Subsequent tax law changes could result in prospective
or retroactive changes in the tax brackets, tax rates, and tax equivalent yields
set forth above. Investors should consult with their tax adviser for additional
information.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PART II
This Part II provides information about EV TRADITIONAL NEW JERSEY LIMITED
MATURITY MUNICIPALS FUND. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide (1)
a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and New
Jersey State personal income taxes and (2) limited principal fluctuation. The
Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing its assets
in the New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipals Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The
Fund changed its name from EV Classic New Jersey Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund
to EV Classic New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipals Fund on December 8, 1995
and to EV Traditional New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipals Fund on February 1,
1996.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund may not:
(1) Purchase securities on margin (but the Fund may obtain such short-term
credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
securities). The deposit or payment by the Fund of initial or maintenance margin
in connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not
considered the purchase of a security on margin;
(2) Borrow money or issue senior securities except as permitted by the
lnvestment Company Act of 1940;
(3) Underwrite or participate in the marketing of securities of others,
except insofar as it may technically be deemed to be an underwriter in selling a
portfolio security under circumstances which may require the registration of the
same under the Securities Act of 1933;
(4) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests in
real estate, but excluding readily marketable interests in real estate
investment trusts or readily marketable securities of companies which invest or
deal in real estate or securities which are secured by real estate);
(5) Purchase or sell physical commodities or contracts for the purchase or
sale of physical commodities; or
(6) Make loans to any person except by (a) the acquisition of debt
instruments and making portfolio investments, (b) entering into repurchase
agreements, and (c) lending portfolio securities.
Notwithstanding the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund, the
Fund may invest all of its investable assets in an open-end management
investment company with substantially the same investment objective, policies
and restrictions as the Fund.
The Fund and the Portfolio have adopted the following investment policies
which may be changed by the Trust with respect to the Fund without approval by
the Fund's shareholders or by the Portfolio with respect to the Portfolio
without approval by the Fund or its other investors. As a matter of
nonfundamental policy, the Fund and the Portfolio will not: (a) engage in
options, futures or forward transactions if more than 5% of its net assets, as
measured by the aggregate of the premiums paid by the Fund or the Portfolio,
would be so invested; (b) make short sales of securities or maintain a short
position, unless at all times when a short position is open it owns an equal
amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable,
without payment of any further consideration, for securities of the same issue
as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short, and unless not more than
25% of the Fund's net assets (taken at current value) is held as collateral for
such sales at any one time. (The Fund and the Portfolio will make such sales
only for the purpose of deferring realization of gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes); (c) invest more than 15% of net assets in investments which are
not readily marketable, including restricted securities and repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days. Restricted securities for the
purposes of this limitation do not include securities eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and commercial paper
issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of said Act that the Board of Trustees of the
Trust or the Portfolio, or its delegate, determines to be liquid; (d) purchase
or retain in its portfolio any securities issued by an issuer any of whose
officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer or Trustee of
the Trust or the Portfolio or is a member, officer, director or trustee of any
investment adviser of the Trust or the Portfolio, if after the purchase of the
securities of such issuer by the Fund or the Portfolio one or more of such
persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the shares or securities or
both (all taken at market value) of such issuer and such persons owning more
than 1/2 of 1% of such shares or securities together own beneficially more than
5% of such shares or securities or both (all taken at market value); or (e)
purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases or purchase partnership interests in
oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs.
In order to permit the sale of shares of the Fund in certain states, the
Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the policies described above.
Should the Fund determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders, it will revoke the commitment by
terminating sales of its shares in the state(s) involved.
RISKS OF CONCENTRATION
The following information as to certain New Jersey considerations is given
to investors in view of the Portfolio's policy of concentrating its investments
in New Jersey issuers. Such information is derived from sources that are
generally available to investors and is believed to be accurate. Such
information constitutes only a brief summary, does not purport to be a complete
description and is based on information from official statements relating to
securities offerings of New Jersey issuers. Neither the Trust nor the Portfolio
has independently verified this information.
New Jersey has a well diversified economy and high wealth levels. Per capita
income ranks as one of the highest in the nation. The State's economy benefits
from its proximity to New York and other major eastern seaboard cities. New
Jersey's economy, like most states, suffered during the recent recession with
unemployment increasing and surpassing the national average. New Jersey's
adjusted unemployment rate for May 1995 was 6.5% compared to 5.7% nationally.
As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, New Jersey's
general obligation debt was rated Aa1, AA+ and AA+, by Moody's, S&P and
Fitch, respectively. As a result of New Jersey's fiscal weakness, evidenced by
declining fund balances, S&P placed the State's general obligation debt and
related agency and lease obligations on CreditWatch with negative implications
in June 1991. In July, 1991 S&P downgraded the State's general obligation debt
from AAA to AA+. As part of this action, numerous agency and lease obligation
debts were also downgraded accordingly. These downgrades did not affect state
university and college ratings. In August 1992, Moody's downgraded New Jersey to
Aa1 from Aaa due to the use of one-time revenue items, revenue shortfalls and
ongoing operating deficits. S&P affirmed their AA+ rating for the State, but
retained the negative outlook. On December 16, 1992, Fitch lowered their rating
on the State to AA+ from AAA. The rating action was due to the State's
decision, with the most recent bond issuance, to defer debt service in the
immediate future in order to provide for unmet capital needs, while increasing
debt service requirements in future years wnen additional resources may or may
not be available.
As part of the 1992-1993 budget, the Legislature cut approximately $1
billion in spending from the Governor's budget, including cutbacks in both the
State's homestead rebate and general assistance programs. To cover the shortfall
resulting from the cutbacks, the State employee pension fund was revalued,
allowing the State to reduce its contribution, and a surplus in the school aid
funds was applied to the General Fund. The State ended fiscal 1993 with an $855
million surplus, approximately half of which was used in the 1994 budget. 1994
had an appropriation for all funds of $15.7 billion, up 4.8% from fiscal 1993
revised appropriations of $14.7 billion. Both years benefited from $412 million
in nonrecurring revenues from retroactive Federal Medicaid payments. After the
Legislature reduced the Governor's fiscal 1994 requests by $182 million, about
half the $855 million fiscal 1993 total surplus was used for fiscal 1994, with a
June 30, 1994 forecast of $416 million -- $110 million allocated to the General
Fund and over $305 million to rainy day and taxpayer relief funds.
In 1994, New Jersey adopted a 5% personal income tax cut retroactive to
January 1, 1994. In 1995, New Jersey adopted a 10% personal income tax cut
retroactive to January 1, 1995. On June 26, 1995, the New Jersey State
Legislature passed an additional 15% reduction to take effect January 1, 1996.
State officials estimate the revenue loss resulting from these tax cuts at over
$1 billion for fiscal 1996. To accommodate the tax cut, the fiscal 1996 budget
would rely on non-recurring revenues and the use of prior years' surplus.
Furthermore, a major focus of the spending reductions has been employer
contributions to retiree health care and pension systems which were cut by over
$863 million in fiscal 1995. There can be no assurance that the tax cuts will
not have an adverse impact on the State's finances and the demand for municipal
bonds in the State.
General obligation bonds of New Jersey are the primary method for New Jersey
financing of capital projects. These bonds are backed by the full faith and
credit of New Jersey. New Jersey tax revenues and certain other fees are pledged
to meet the principal and interest payments required to fully pay the debt. No
general obligation debt can be issued by New Jersey without prior voter
approval, except that, pursuant to a constitutional amendment, no voter approval
is required for any law authorizing the creation of a debt for the purpose of
refinancing all or a portion of the outstanding debt of New Jersey, so long as
such law requires that the refinancing provided debt service savings. The New
Jersey Constitution also provides that no voter approval is required for debt
issued for purposes of war, to repel invasion, to suppress insurrection or to
meet an emergency caused by disaster or act of God. Capital construction can
also be funded by appropriation of current revenues on a pay-as-you-go basis.
All appropriations for capital projects and all proposals for State bond
authorizations are subject to the review and recommendation of the New Jersey
Commission on Capital Budgeting and Planning.
Other State-related obligations include those created pursuant to the New
Jersey Building Authority Act, which has the power to construct facilities for
leasing to the State. The rental for such buildings is equal to the debt service
relating thereto plus payments in lieu of real estate taxes. Legislation
provides for future appropriations for State aid to local school districts equal
to debt service on a maximum principal amount of $280,000,000 of bonds issued by
such local school districts for construction and renovation of school facilities
and for State aid to counties equal to debt service on up to $80,000,000 of
bonds issued by counties for construction of county college facilities.
The authorizing legislation for various State entities provides for specific
budgetary procedures with respect to certain obligations issued by such
entities. Bonds issued pursuant to authorizing legislation of this type are
sometimes referred to as "moral obligation" bonds. There is no statutory
limitation on the amount of moral obligation bonds which may be issued by
eligible State entities. Currently, there are two such entities available for
State appropriations to meet moral obligations. The New Jersey Housing and
Mortgage Finance Agency has not had a deficiency in a debt service reserve which
required New Jersey to appropriate funds. It is anticipated that the agency's
revenue will continue to be sufficient to cover debt service on its bonds. The
State provides the South Jersey Port Corporation with funds to cover all debt
service and property tax requirements, when earned revenues are anticipated to
be insufficient to cover these obligations. In the past, anticipated revenues
have, in some cases, been insufficient to cover debt service and/or insufficient
to cover all property tax requirements. These are numerous other State-created
entities with outstanding debt. This debt is supported by revenues derived from
or assets of the various projects financed by such entities.
The Local Budget Law imposes specific budgetary procedures upon counties and
municipalities, subject to review by the Director of the Division of Local
Government Services. State law also regulates the issuance of debt by counties
and municipalities by limiting the amount of tax anticipation notes that may be
issued and requiring their repayment within three months of the end of the
fiscal year in which they are issued. The Local Bond Law governs the issuance of
bonds and notes and bars the issuance of bonds for the payment of current
expenses or to pay outstanding obligations, except where permitted by the Local
Finance Board. State law also authorizes State officials to supervise fiscal
administration in any municipality facing financial difficulties.

</TABLE>
For the thirty-day period ended March 31, 1995, the yield of the Fund was
3.44%. The yield required of a taxable security that would produce an after-tax
yield equivalent to that earned by the Fund of 3.44% (considering both State and
federal taxes) would be 5.34%, assuming a combined federal and State tax rate of
35.54%. If a portion of the Fund's expenses had not been allocated to the
Administrator, the Fund would have had a lower yield.
The Fund's distribution rate (calculated on March 31, 1995 and based on the
Fund's monthly distribution paid March 22, 1995) was 3.58%, and the Fund's
effective distribution rate (calculated on the same date and based on the same
monthly distribution) was 3.64%. If a portion of the Fund's expenses had not
been allocated to the Administrator, the Fund would have had a lower
distribution rate and effective distribution rate.

ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
If, in any year in which the Fund is subject to New Jersey taxation, it is
treated as a qualified investment fund under New Jersey law, as defined below,
the Fund will not be required to pay any New Jersey state tax, except for a $250
New Jersey Corporation business (franchise) tax.
A "qualified investment fund" is any investment company or trust registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any series of such investment
company or trust, which, for the calendar year in which the distribution is
paid, (a) has no investments other than interest-bearing obligations,
obligations issued at a discount, and cash and cash items, including
receivables, and (b) has not less than 80% (determined at the end of each fiscal
quarter) of the aggregate principal amount of all of its investments, excluding
cash and cash items (including receivables), in obligations (1) issued by or on
behalf of New Jersey or any county, municipality, school or other district,
agency, authority, commission, instrumentality, public corporation, body
corporate and politic or political subdivision of New Jersey, or (2) statutorily
free from New Jersey or local taxation under other acts of New Jersey or under
the laws of the United States, including, but not limited to, obligations of
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam (collectively, "Qualifying
Investments").
In the opinion of Wilentz, Goldman, & Spitzer, P.A., special counsel to the
Fund, under existing New Jersey law:
(i) provided the Fund qualifies, and continues to qualify, as a
qualified investment fund, shareholders will not be required to include in
their New Jersey gross income distributions from the Fund to the extent that
such distributions are attributable to interest or gains from Qualifying
Investments. The foregoing exclusion applies only to shareholders who are
individuals, estates or trusts subject to the New Jersey gross income tax.
Distributions from the Fund will not be excluded from net income and shares
of the Fund will not be excluded from investment capital in determining New
Jersey corporation business (franchise) and corporation income taxes for
corporate Shareholders; and
(ii) provided the Fund qualifies, and continues to qualify, as a
regulated investment company pursuant to Chapter 1, subchapter M, part I,
Section 852(a), of the Code, the Fund will be subject only to a $250.00 New
Jersey corporation business (franchise) tax and will be exempt from all
other New Jersey corporation business (franchise) and corporation income
taxes.
CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES
As at June 30, 1995, the Trustees and officers of the Trust, as a group,
owned in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of
June 30, 1995 the following shareholders owned of record the percentages of
shares indicated after their names: Brookview Gardens Inc., Bergenfield, NJ
(13.26%); Michael J. Waldman & Sandra C. Waldman JTWROS, Scottsdale, AZ (11.99%)
and the Estate of Jose M. Garcia, Jorge Corominal and Roswitha Klahn
co-executors, Bergenfield, NJ (6.63%). In addition, as of June 30, 1995, Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., New Brunswick, NJ was the record owner of
approximately 17.5% of the outstanding shares, which were held on behalf of its
customers who are the beneficial owners of such shares, and as to which it had
voting power under certain limited circumstances. To the Trust's knowledge, no
other person owned of record or beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's
outstanding shares as of such date.

TAX EQUIVALENT YIELD TABLE
The table below gives the approximate yield a taxable security must earn at
various income brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of tax
exempt bonds yielding from 4% to 7% under the regular federal income tax and New
Jersey State income tax laws and tax rates applicable for 1996.

deductibility of itemized deductions (including New Jersey State income taxes)
for taxpayers with Adjusted Gross Income in excess of $117,950. The tax brackets
also do not show the effects of phase out of personal exemptions for single
filers with Adjusted Gross Income in excess of $117,950 and joint filers with
Adjusted Gross Income in excess of $176,950. The effective tax brackets and
equivalent taxable yields of such taxpayers will be higher than those indicated
above.
Yields shown are for illustration purposes only and are not meant to represent
the Fund's actual yield. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve
any specific tax exempt yield. While it is expected that the Portfolio will
invest principally in obligations, the interest from which is exempt from the
regular federal income tax and New Jersey personal income taxes, other income
received by the Portfolio and allocated to the Fund may be taxable. The table
does not take into account state or local taxes, if any, payable on Fund
distributions except for New Jersey personal income taxes. It should also be
noted that the interest earned on certain "private activity bonds" issued after
August 7, 1986, while exempt from the regular federal income tax, is treated as
a tax preference item which could subject the recipient to the federal
alternative minimum tax. The illustrations assume that the federal alternative
minimum tax is not applicable and do not take into account any tax credits that
may be available.
The information set forth above is as of the date of this Statement of
Additional Information. Subsequent tax law changes could result in prospective
or retroactive changes in the tax brackets, tax rates, and tax equivalent yields
set forth above. Investors should consult their tax adviser for additional
information.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PART II
This Part II provides information about EV TRADITIONAL OHIO LIMITED MATURITY
MUNICIPALS FUND. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide (1) a high
level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and Ohio State
personal income taxes and (2) limited principal fluctuation. The Fund currently
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing its assets in the Ohio
Limited Maturity Municipals Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The Fund changed its
name from EV Classic Ohio Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund to EV Classic Ohio
Limited Maturity Municipals Fund on December 8, 1995 and to EV Traditional Ohio
Limited Maturity Municipals Fund on February 1, 1996.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund may not:
(1) Purchase securities on margin (but the Fund may obtain such short-term
credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
securities). The deposit or payment by the Fund of initial or maintenance margin
in connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not
considered the purchase of a security on margin;
(2) Borrow money or issue senior securities except as permitted by the
lnvestment Company Act of 1940;
(3) Underwrite or participate in the marketing of securities of others,
except insofar as it may technically be deemed to be an underwriter in selling a
portfolio security under circumstances which may require the registration of the
same under the Securities Act of 1933;
(4) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests in
real estate, but excluding readily marketable interests in real estate
investment trusts or readily marketable securities of companies which invest or
deal in real estate or securities which are secured by real estate);
(5) Purchase or sell physical commodities or contracts for the purchase or
sale of physical commodities; or
(6) Make loans to any person except by (a) the acquisition of debt
instruments and making portfolio investments, (b) entering into repurchase
agreements, and (c) lending portfolio securities.
Notwithstanding the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund, the
Fund may invest all of its investable assets in an open-end management
investment company with substantially the same investment objective, policies
and restrictions as the Fund.
The Fund and the Portfolio have adopted the following investment policies
which may be changed by the Trust with respect to the Fund without approval by
the Fund's shareholders or by the Portfolio with respect to the Portfolio
without approval by the Fund or its other investors. As a matter of
nonfundamental policy, the Fund and the Portfolio will not: (a) engage in
options, futures or forward transactions if more than 5% of its net assets, as
measured by the aggregate of the premiums paid by the Fund or the Portfolio,
would be so invested; (b) make short sales of securities or maintain a short
position, unless at all times when a short position is open it owns an equal
amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable,
without payment of any further consideration, for securities of the same issue
as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short, and unless not more than
25% of the Fund's net assets (taken at current value) is held as collateral for
such sales at any one time. (The Fund and the Portfolio will make such sales
only for the purpose of deferring realization of gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes); (c) invest more than 15% of net assets in investments which are
not readily marketable, including restricted securities and repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days. Restricted securities for the
purposes of this limitation do not include securities eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and commercial paper
issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of said Act that the Board of Trustees of the
Trust or the Portfolio, or its delegate, determines to be liquid; (d) purchase
or retain in its portfolio any securities issued by an issuer any of whose
officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer or Trustee of
the Trust or the Portfolio or is a member, officer, director or trustee of any
investment adviser of the Trust or the Portfolio, if after the purchase of the
securities of such issuer by the Fund or the Portfolio one or more of such
persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the shares or securities or
both (all taken at market value) of such issuer and such persons owning more
than 1/2 of 1% of such shares or securities together own beneficially more than
5% of such shares or securities or both (all taken at market value); (e)
purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases or purchase partnership interests in
oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs.
In order to permit the sale of shares of the Fund in certain states, the
Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the fundamental policies
described above. Should the Fund determine that any such commitment is no longer
in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, it will revoke the
commitment by terminating sales of its shares in the state(s) involved.
RISKS OF CONCENTRATION
The following information as to certain Ohio considerations is given to
investors in view of the Portfolio's policy of concentrating its investments in
Ohio issuers. Such information is derived from sources that are generally
available to investors and is believed to be accurate. Such information
constitutes only a brief summary, does not purport to be a complete description
and is based on information from official statements relating to securities
offerings of Ohio issuers. Neither the Trust nor the Portfolio has independently
verified this information.
The State of Ohio operates on the basis of a fiscal biennium for its
appropriations and expenditures. The State is effectively prohibited by law from
ending a fiscal year or a biennium in a deficit position. The Governor has the
power to order State agencies to operate within the State's means. The State
carries out most of its operations through the General Revenue Fund ("GRF")
which receives general State revenues not otherwise dedicated. GRF revenues are
derived mainly from personal income and sales taxes and corporate franchise
taxes. State GRF figures generally show a pattern related to national economic
conditions, evident in growth and depletion of its GRF ending fund balances,
with the June 30 (end of fiscal year) GRF fund balance reduced during less
favorable national economic periods and increased during more favorable economic
periods.
The general appropriations act for the 1994-95 biennium was signed by the
Governor on July 1, 1993. This act appropriated $30.7 billion for GRF purposes.
Appropriations for the first fiscal year of the biennium were approximately 9.2%
above those for fiscal year 1993 while those for the second year were
approximately 6.6% higher than those for fiscal year 1994. These additional
appropriations were mainly for increased costs in most State financed programs
such as education, Medicaid, mental health and corrections. During the 1991-1993
biennium, the national economic downturn required a $200 million transfer from
the Budget Stabilization Fund to the GRF. As fiscal year 1992 progressed,
reduced tax collections led to a revenue shortfall. This, in combination with
additional expenditures, produced a budget deficit. The State addressed this
deficit through a combination of budget cuts, tax payment accelerations and a
depletion of the Budget Stabilization Fund. A projected fiscal year 1993 gap of
$520 million was covered through a combination of tax increases and a reduction
in appropriations. The fiscal year 1994 budget was balanced, and the State's GRF
had an ending fund balance of $560 million.
Local school districts in Ohio receive a major portion of their operating
monies from State subsidies, but are dependent upon local taxes for significant
portions of their budgets. School districts may submit for voter approval income
taxes on the district income of individuals and estates. To date, this income
tax has been approved in 120 of the State's 600+ local school districts. A
small number of local school districts have in any year required emergency
advances from the State under a prior program in order to avoid year-end
deficits. Forty-four school districts borrowed $68.6 million in fiscal year 1992
and 27 districts borrowed $94.5 million in 1993, including Cleveland which
borrowed $75 million. Twenty-eight districts borrowed $41.1 million in fiscal
year 1994. Schools were affected by budget-balancing expenditure reductions
discussed above.
Litigation, similar to that in other states, is pending questioning the
constitutionality of Ohio's system of school funding. A trial court recently
concluded that aspects of the system (including basic operating assistance) are
unconstitutional, and ordered the State to provide for and fund a system
complying with the Ohio Constitution. The State has appealed. At this time, it
is not possible to determine either the outcome or the financial burden which an
unfavorable decision would have on either the State's or the local school
districts' financial health.
Resolutions have been introduced in both houses of the General Assembly that
would submit at the November 1995 election constitutional amendments relating to
State debt. One amendment would authorize, among other things, the issuance of
State general obligation debt for a variety of purposes and without additional
vote of the people to the extent that debt service on all State general
obligation debt and GRF-supported obligations would not exceed 5% of the
preceding fiscal year's GRF expenditures. It cannot be predicted whether any of
the proposed amendments will in fact be submitted, or, if submitted, approved by
the electors.
FEES AND EXPENSES
INVESTMENT ADVISER
As of March 31, 1995, the Portfolio had net assets of $39,435,374. For the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, absent a fee reduction, the Portfolio would
have paid BMR advisory fees of $185,368 (equivalent to 0.46% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets for such year). To enhance the net income of the
Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of its advisory fee in the amount of $44,856.
For the period from the start of business, April 16, 1993, to the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1994, absent a fee reduction, the Portfolio would have paid BMR
advisory fees of $78,138 (equivalent to 0.44% (annualized) of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets for such period). To enhance the net income of the
Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of its advisory fee in the amount of $78,138 and
BMR was allocated expenses related to the operation of the Portfolio in the
amount of $18,702. The Portfolio's Investment Advisory Agreement with BMR is
dated April 9, 1993 and remains in effect until February 28, 1996. The Agreement
may be continued as described under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in
Part I of this Statement of Additional Information.
ADMINISTRATOR
As stated under "Investment Adviser and Administrator" in Part I of this
Statement of Additional Information, the Administrator currently receives no
compensation for providing administrative services to the Fund. For the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1995 and for the period from the start of business,
December 8, 1993, to March 31, 1994, $23,965 and $2,420, respectively, of the
Fund's operating expenses were allocated to the Administrator.
SERVICE PLAN
The Service Plan remains in effect until April 28, 1996, and may be
continued as described under "Service Plan" in Part I of this Statement of
Additional Information. Prior to February 1, 1996, the Fund made sales
commission, distribution fee and service fee payments pursuant to a Distribution
Plan. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Principal Underwriter
paid to Authorized Firms sales commissions of $46,177 under that Plan on the
sale of Fund shares. During the same period, the Fund made sales commission
payments to the Principal Underwriter under that Plan aggregating $46,357, which
reduced Uncovered Distribution Charges. As at March 31, 1995 the outstanding
Uncovered Distribution Charges of the Principal Underwriter calculated under
that Plan amounted to approximately $677,000 (which amount was equivalent to
13.3% of the Fund's net assets on such day). For the fiscal year ended March 31,
1995, the Fund made service fee payments under the Distribution Plan aggregating
$9,262, of which $9,176 was paid as service fee payments to Authorized Firms and
the balance of which was retained by the Principal Underwriter.
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Fund paid the Principal
Underwriter $265.00 for repurchase transactions handled by the Principal
Underwriter (being $2.50 for each such transaction).
CUSTODIAN
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Portfolio paid IBT $11,030.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Fund paid IBT $4,679.
BROKERAGE
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 and for the period from the start
of business, April 16, 1993, to the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, the
Portfolio paid no brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions.
TRUSTEES
The fees and expenses of those Trustees of the Trust and of the Portfolio
who are not members of the Eaton Vance organization (the noninterested Trustees)
are paid by the Fund (and the other series of the Trust) and the Portfolio,
respectively. (The Trustees of the Trust and the Portfolio who are members of
the Eaton Vance organization receive no compensation from the Trust or the
Portfolio.) During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the noninterested
Trustees of the Trust and the Portfolio earned the following compensation in
their capacities as Trustees from the Fund, the Portfolio, and the other funds
in the Eaton Vance fund complex(1):

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The table below indicates the cumulative and average annual total return on
a hypothetical investment of $1,000 in the Fund from April 16, 1993 through
March 31, 1995 and for the one-year period ended March 31, 1995. The total
return for the period prior to the Fund's commencement of operations on December
8, 1993 reflects the Portfolio's total return (or that of its predecessor)
adjusted to reflect any applicable Fund sales charge. The total return has not
been adjusted to reflect the Fund's service fees and certain other expenses. The
performance (including the yield and distribution rate figures set forth below)
reflects the Fund's sales charge effective February 1, 1996.

Fund shares redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1%.
</TABLE>
For the thirty-day period ended March 31, 1995, the yield of the Fund was
3.54%. The yield required of a taxable security that would produce an after-tax
yield equivalent to that earned by the Fund of 3.54% (considering both State and
federal taxes) would be 5.51%, assuming a combined federal and State tax rate of
35.76%. If a portion of the Portfolio's and the Fund's expenses had not been
allocated to the Investment Adviser and the Administrator, respectively, the
Fund would have had a lower yield.
The Fund's distribution rate (calculated on March 31, 1995 and based on the
Fund's monthly distribution paid March 22, 1995) was 3.61%, and the Fund's
effective distribution rate (calculated on the same date and based on the same
monthly distribution) was 3.67%. If a portion of the Portfolio's and the Fund's
expenses had not been allocated to the Investment Adviser and the Administrator,
respectively, the Fund would have had a lower distribution rate and effective
distribution rate.

See the Tax Equivalent Yield Table in this Part II for information concerning
applicable tax rate and income brackets.
TAXES
In the opinion of special tax counsel to the Fund, Squire, Sanders &
Dempsey, under Ohio law, provided that the Fund continues to qualify as a
regulated investment company under the Code and that at all times at least 50%
of the value of the total assets of the Fund consists of obligations issued by
or on behalf of the State of Ohio, political subdivisions thereof or agencies or
instrumentalities of Ohio or its political subdivisions ("Ohio Obligations"), or
similar obligations of other states or their subdivisions (a fund satisfying
such requirements being referred to herein as an "Ohio fund"), (i) distributions
paid by the Fund will be exempt from Ohio personal income tax and any Ohio
municipal income taxes or Ohio school district income taxes for individuals who
reside in Ohio to the extent such dividends are derived from interest payments
on Ohio Obligations, and (ii) distributions of "capital gain dividends," as
defined in the Code, that are properly attributable to the Fund's capital gains
on the sale or other disposition of Ohio Obligations, will be exempt from Ohio
personal income tax and any municipal or school district income taxes in Ohio.
Except as described below, other distributions from the Fund will generally not
be exempt from Ohio personal income tax, Ohio municipal income taxes or Ohio
school district income tax.
Provided the Fund qualifies as an Ohio fund, (1) distributions from the Fund
will be excluded from net income for purposes of the Ohio corporation franchise
tax to the extent that such distributions are excludable from gross income for
Federal income tax purposes or are derived from interest payments on Ohio
Obligations, and (2) distributions that are properly attributable to the Fund's
capital gains on the sale or other disposition of Ohio Obligations, also will be
excluded from net income for purposes of the Ohio corporation franchise tax.
However, shares of the Fund will not be excluded from net worth for purposes of
such tax.
Provided the Fund qualifies as an Ohio fund, distributions by the Fund that
are properly attributable to interest on obligations of the United States or the
governments of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands or Guam or their authorities or
municipalities are exempt from Ohio personal income tax, Ohio municipal income
taxes and Ohio school district income taxes, and are excluded from the net
income base of the Ohio corporate franchise tax to the same extent that such
interest would be so exempt or excluded if the obligations were held directly by
the shareholders.
CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES
As at June 30, 1995, the Trustees and officers of the Trust, as a group,
owned in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of
June 30, 1995, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., New Brunswick, NJ
was the record owner of approximately 34.0% of the outstanding shares, which
were held on behalf of its customers who are the beneficial owners of such
shares, and as to which it had voting power under certain limited circumstances.
In addition, as of such date, the following shareholder owned of record, the
percentage of shares indicated: Herbert Hampson & Lois Hampson JTTEN S ACCT,
Grafton, OH (19.2%). To the knowledge of the Trust, no other person owned of
record or beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's outstanding shares as of such
date.

TAX EQUIVALENT YIELD TABLE
The table below gives the approximate yield a taxable security must earn at
various income brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of tax
exempt bonds yielding from 4% to 7% under the regular federal income tax and
Ohio State income tax laws and tax rates applicable for 1996.

* Net amount subject to federal and Ohio personal income tax after deductions andexemptions.
+ The combined tax brackets are calculated using the highest Ohio State rate within the bracket. The combined tax brackets
assume that Ohio taxes are itemized deductions for federal income tax purposes. Investors who do not itemize deductions on
their federal income tax return will have a higher combined bracket and higher taxable equivalent yield than those indicated
above. The applicable federal tax rates within each of these combined brackets are 15%, 28%, 31%, 36% and 39.6% over the same
ranges of income.
</TABLE>
Note: The federal income tax portion of above-indicated combined income tax
brackets does not take into account the effect of a reduction in the
deductibility of itemized deductions (including Ohio State income taxes) for
taxpayers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950. The tax brackets
also do not show the effects of phaseout of personal exemptions for single
filers with adjusted gross income in excess of $117,950 and joint filers with
adjusted gross income in excess of $176,950. The effective tax brackets and
equivalent taxable yields of such taxpayers will be higher than those indicated
above.
Yields shown are for illustration purposes only and are not meant to represent
the Fund's actual yield. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve
any specific tax exempt yield. While it is expected that the Portfolio will
invest principally in obligations, the interest from which is exempt from the
regular federal income tax and Ohio personal income taxes, other income received
by the Portfolio and allocated to the Fund may be taxable. The table does not
take into account state or local taxes, if any, payable on Fund distributions
except for Ohio personal income taxes. It should also be noted that the interest
earned on certain "private activity bonds" issued after August 7, 1986, while
exempt from the regular federal income tax, is treated as a tax preference item
which could subject the recipient to the federal alternative minimum tax. The
illustrations assume that the federal alternative minimum tax is not applicable
and do not take into account any tax credit that may be available.
The information set forth above is as of the date of this Statement of
Additional Information. Subsequent tax law changes could result in prospective
or retroactive changes in the tax brackets, tax rates, and tax equivalent yields
set forth above. Investors should consult with their tax adviser for additional
information.

To Shareholders:
During 1994 the economy remained stronger than economists and money managers
had anticipated at the start of the year. In response to this strength, and in
an attempt to keep inflation in check, the Federal Reserve raised short-term
interest rates six times in 1994 and once again in 1995. Long-term rates moved
upward as well and, as a result, the prices of municipal bonds dropped.
But the market slide was not the only concern in 1994. Many shareholders of
Eaton Vance tax-free mutual funds may have wondered whether the problems that
surfaced in Orange County, California, had in any way affected their investment
in our non-California tax-free funds. The answer is no, because the market
realized that this was a local problem. Other Eaton Vance portfolios were not
significantly impacted.
Despite the difficulties that beset the market in 1994, we feel optimistic about
the prospects for 1995. The market now appears convinced that the Federal
Reserve is, in fact, keeping a tight watch on inflation. And, while it is
impossible to predict the outcomes of government initiatives, it appears that
proposals put forth by the new Congress to cut spending and taxes could have an
overall positive effect if enacted.
This report features some changes which we hope will help you to better
understand your investment, and how your Portfolio's holdings help provide the
means for the Federal government, as well as state and local governments, to
fund such projects as roads, bridges, hospitals and schools. Each fund review
includes a Portfolio Overview, or snapshot, as well as comments from the
portfolio manager. In addition, we are profiling a specific bond holding.
Regardless of what lies ahead for the economy, the goal of your Fund remains the
same: to provide you with a competitive distribution of tax-free income from a
portfolio of high-quality municipal bonds.+

Management Discussion
An interview with Raymond E. Hender, Vice President, and William Ahern,
Assistant Vice President, Portfolio Managers of the Limited Maturity Tax
Free Portfolios.
[Photo: Raymond E. Hender]
Q. Ray, how would you describe the intermediate market of the past year?
R.H.: All municipal markets were battered in 1994, and the impact was felt in
the intermediate range of the market as well. According to Municipal
Market Data Inc., yields for 10-year municipal bonds rose from 5.35
percent in March 1994 to 6.30 percent in November 1994, a 95 basis point
increase. And five-year municipal yields rose from 4.80 percent to 5.75
percent, also a 95 basis point rise. From those peak levels in November
1994, 10-year yields have since fallen back to 5.35 percent, and 5-year
yields to 4.95 percent. Interestingly, in the period since bond yields
reached their peaks in November 1994, bonds have regained much of the
ground lost in the previous market sell-off.
Q. Have investors continued to embrace the intermediate market?
R.H.: The intermediate range of the market was very attractive to investors in
the midst of the market turbulence of last year. Many investors sought to
shorten their durations and protect the value of their portfolios. Another
factor at work during the market sell-off was an availability of higher
quality bonds in the intermediate sector. That brought many
quality-conscious investors to the intermediate market.
Q. How did the market volatility affect your strategy?
R.H.: The Portfolios have always been somewhat cautious in their investment
style, and hence, were relatively well-positioned when the market started
to deteriorate. The premium, or cushion, bond holdings in the Portfolios
were part of a defensive strategy that served us quite well. We maintained
a duration in the mid-to-lower part of our duration range -- around 5
years at March 31 -- which limited the impact of rising rates on the
Portfolios. And finally, we took advantage of the opportunity to improve
the quality of the Portfolios as the market deteriorated.
Q. Bill, how does a shorter duration help to limit the Portfolios'
volatility?
W.A.: Because duration measures the timing of cash flows from coupon payments
over the life of a bond, it provides an approximation of the expected
change in price of a bond from a given change in interest rates. The
average duration of a municipal bond fund provides a similar approximation
of the fund's volatility. A fund with a short duration, such as our
Portfolios, will be less responsive to interest rate changes than a fund
with a long duration. That's an important consideration for investors who
want to limit volatility in their investments.
Q. As the market deteriorated, did you shift your strategy?
W.A.: As short-term interest rates rose, the yield curve -- the difference in
yield between issues of varying maturities -- flattened significantly. The
Portfolios were therefore able to "move down the yield curve," and
purchase short-term issues with little or no sacrifice in yield. That
offered a further measure of protection by shortening the Portfolios'
average maturity. Interestingly, in many cases we managed to increase the
Portfolios' average coupon while shortening duration and thereby picked up
additional yield.
Q. Did you make other adjustments?
R.H.: We made a deliberate effort during this period to consolidate our holdings
within the Portfolios. Normally, in the first several months following
inception, a Portfolio will be comprised of many small positions. That is
a function of the early growth phase of the Portfolios. Over time, we hope
to reduce the number of individual holdings. In recent months, we have
tried to consolidate some of our positions, resulting in fewer but larger
positions. That certainly helps to improve the Portfolios' liquidity.
Q. Did the sell-off provide any opportunities?
W.A.: Actually, yes. Toward the end of 1994, as the market decline was in full
swing, we took advantage of the deteriorating market conditions to realize
tax losses. By realizing tax losses and moving into other bonds we were
able to raise the average coupon of
<PAGE>
the Portfolio. Equally as important, the shift has potentially important
tax considerations. Tax losses can be carried forward for use against
capital gains in the future, and thus reduce future tax liabilities.
[Photo: William Ahern]
Q. What sectors offered special value?
R.H.: Insured bonds and escrowed bonds offered especially good value in this
market. Even though insured bonds -- which are insured as to principal and
interest payments by one of the major municipal bond insurers -- are top
quality issues, they tend to trade in the A-to-Aa range because of
unusually large volume. Therefore, these bonds offer especially attractive
yields as well as the added liquidity that comes with insurance. Of
course, private insurance does not remove the market risks associated with
these investments.
Q. And what are escrowed bonds?
W.A.: Escrowed bonds are bonds that have been pre-refunded by the issuers to
take advantage of a lower rate environment. Refundings hit the market in
large supply in 1992 and 1993 as interest rates declined sharply. The
large number of refundings created a huge supply on the market and an
unusual opportunity in the intermediate range of the market. For example,
a bond with a maturity of 2020 that was refunded to its call date in 2000
will trade to that call date. That in effect adds supply to the
intermediate range of the market and creates an opportunity to gain yield
in that sector.
Q. How did escrowed bonds perform?
W.A.: Escrowed bonds performed well throughout the year. Escrowed bonds are
perceived as higher quality issues by investors because the escrow
agreements typically stipulate that the collateral consist of 100 percent
Treasury securities. In addition, since this debt was issued during
periods when rates were significantly higher, they have higher coupons.
Q. Was the California Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio affected by the
Orange County crisis?
R.H.: The California Portfolio did not own any direct obligations of Orange
County at the time of the bankruptcy filing and has not acquired any since
that event. The Portfolio did have a small investment in the securities of
two issuers that were participants in the pool. However, the municipal
bond rating agencies have consistently maintained the quality ratings of
those issues. Our independent research indicates that the issuers will be
able to comfortably continue with timely debt service payments.
Q. Looking ahead, what is your outlook for the intermediate-term market?
R.H.: While the economy has continued to grow and companies are registering
strong earnings reports, there have been some incremental signs of
weakening. First quarter GDP grew at a 2.8 percent annualized rate, the
slowest pace since 1993. Inventories are up and consumer spending is down.
As we noted earlier, the yield curve has flattened considerably. A weak
economy and a flat yield curve suggest that the intermediate-term segment
of the bond market offers value. Of course, there's no guarantee that past
trends will be repeated in the future. But for risk-averse investors who
want a competitive level of tax-free income, the intermediate range of the
market merits attention.
Included in the pages that follow are performance charts that compare your
Fund's total return with that of a broad-based securities market index. The
lines on the chart represent the total returns of $10,000 hypothetical
investments in your Fund and the unmanaged Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond
Index. The solid line on the chart represents the Fund's performance. The Fund's
total return figure reflects fund expenses and portfolio transaction costs, and
assumes the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions. The
dotted line represents the performance of the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal
Bond Index, a broad-based, widely recognized unmanaged index of municipal bonds.
Whereas the Fund's portfolio is comprised principally of bonds solely from your
individual state, the Index is composed of bonds from all 50 states and many
jurisdictions. The Index's total return does not reflect any commissions or
expenses that would be incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold
the securities represented in the Index.

The State of the State: California
The California economy continued to improve in 1994. While unemployment remains
well above national levels, the state's jobless rate has nonetheless improved to
the 7 percent range. In 1994, the state gained 150,000 jobs. Given the state's
population, that represents only a modest improvement. But following years of
job losses in the defense and technology sectors, the improvement may signal a
long-awaited turn in the state's economic fortunes. Despite the expectation of
continued downsizing in the defense industry, another 220,000 new jobs are
expected in 1995.
The construction industry remains a bright spot. While the level of housing
permits remains significantly lower than the peak year of 1986, housing permits
rose 15 percent in 1994.
While still debt-ridden, the state's financial outlook may brighten due to
tighter fiscal controls. Sales tax and personal income tax revenues have climbed
significantly. With the administration aiming for broad spending cuts and
containment over social spending, there is an increasing likelihood that
California credits may at last stabilize following years of deterioration.

Town of Old Saybrook, CT
General Obligations
Old Saybrook, located on the south central coast of Long Island Sound, issued a
series of general obligation bonds in 1989 and 1990 with coupons in the 7
percent range. With rates significantly lower by early 1994, Old Saybrook issued
a new series of bonds to redeem the previously issued bonds on their scheduled
call dates. With coupons in the 4 percent range, the new issue resulted in major
savings for the Town. Because the new issues are insured as to principal and
interest payments by a private municipal bond insurer, they are deemed to be
very high quality by investors. Naturally, private insurance does not remove the
market risks associated with this investment.

The State of the State: Connecticut
While significantly improved in the past year, Connecticut's economy continued
to lag national and regional trends. The state's deep recession exacted a heavy
toll in key industries such as finance, real estate, insurance and defense,
sectors hard-hit by industry restructurings and shrinking government
appropriations. Together, those setbacks eroded the state's economic base.
However, while the employment outlook for those industries remains relatively
weak, job gains in construction, service, trade, health care and tourism have
partially offset those losses and helped pace the Connecticut recovery. The
state's fiscal picture has brightened significantly with an improved economy.
Having encountered massive deficits earlier in the decade, Connecticut pursued
a series of fiscal and budgetary reforms, including instituting a 4 percent
income tax, lowering the state sales tax, eliminating taxes on capital gains,
dividends and interest, and instituting a constitutional expenditure cap,
resulting in a more stable tax revenue base. Having recorded operating surpluses
in each of the past three fiscal years, Connecticut should look forward to
continued fiscal stability and an improving financial future.

The State of the State: Florida
The Florida economy posted positive results during 1994 and early 1995, with an
improving labor market. The state benefited from a strong national and regional
recovery, as evidenced by a sharply lower unemployment rate and a robust housing
market. However, Florida's important tourism industry registered its weakest
year for tourism since 1991. Tourist visits in 1994 declined by nearly 3 percent
to 39.9 million. While visitors traveling by air continued to increase, those
traveling by auto declined a significant 13 percent. State employment growth was
a strong 5.8 percent in 1994, which more than offset the recession job losses of
1990-1992. Construction activity remained fairly strong in 1994, with new
housing starts rising more than 12 percent. But by year-end, rising interest
rates slowed construction growth somewhat. Meanwhile, growth continued in the
service and trade sectors. The state ended fiscal 1994 with capital reserves of
$296 million, benefiting from higher-than-anticipated corporate income and
state sales tax collections. State projections for 1995 suggest that the economy
will be generally stronger than in 1994, with a personal income growth in the 8
percent range.

The State of the State: Massachusetts
Massachusetts has enjoyed consistent job growth in the past year as the service,
trade, and financial sectors continued to build momentum in 1994. As a result,
the commonwealth's 4.6 percent jobless rate in March 1995 remained well below
the national unemployment rate. Massachusetts maintained its status as the
best-performing state economy in New England.
While the manufacturing sector registered further losses, the services, trade
and construction sectors demonstrated strength. Financial services, led by the
mutual fund industry, was especially strong. Commercial construction activity
increased as the stronger economy continued to reduce the overhang of commercial
office space created in the 1980s. Residential construction also showed
improvement although the rate of growth has slowed somewhat with higher interest
rates.
Debt levels in Massachusetts remain high, but the Commonwealth's fiscal outlook
has benefited from a rebuilding of its financial reserves. Increased fiscal
responsibility together with reduced expenditures have added to the positive
outlook, as evidenced by a series of upgradings in the commonwealth's debt
ratings.

Michigan's economic output in 1994. Nearly 40 percent of the job growth has been
attributable to growth in the manufacturing sector, primarily autos, with
vehicle production exceeding 14 million units in 1994. Michigan's reliance on
manufacturing can lead to wide economic fluctuations. Yet the state has also
seen growth in the service and trade sectors, a partial buffer against future
cyclical downturns. Michigan continues to benefit from increasing demand from
the ongoing recovery in Europe and should be a major beneficiary from the
anticipated expansion in international trade.
On the fiscal front, Michigan has largely stabilized its finances in recent
years. Operating deficits have been eliminated through spending cuts, reduced
social spending, and the selective use of reserves. Michigan's efforts at
property tax reform to deal with public school funding have been applauded
nationally. Moreover, with a surge in the local economy, corporate and income
tax revenues have increased, restoring reserves and putting the state's finances
on a firmer footing.

Ocean County Utilities
Authority of New Jersey
Wastewater Revenue Bonds
An issue of the Ocean County Utilities Authority of New Jersey, these wastewater
revenue bonds provide financing for equipment and maintenance at waste water
treatment facilities. The bonds are popular with New Jersey residents and
environmentalists alike because they help bring sorely needed help to the
environment. Investors find the bonds attractive because they are rated
Aaa/AAA, are insured, and carry an attractive 6.7 percent coupon. The interest
and principal payments are backed by revenues of the County Utilities system.
Naturally, private insurance does not remove the market risks associated with
this investment.

The State of the State: New Jersey
New Jersey continued along the road to recovery in 1994 with strong gains across
a wide range of industry sectors. According to the New Jersey Department of
Labor, net job gains since the bottom of the recession in March 1992 have
surpassed 100,000. Mirroring trends at the national level, the service sectors
accounted for the majority of employment gains, including health care,
transportation, financial services, and temporary business service agencies.
Construction activity rebounded as well on the strength of rising housing
starts, non-residential building, and public works such as water, sewer, roads,
and communications systems. The financial condition of New Jersey deteriorated
throughout the first half of the 1990s due to declining revenues and sharply
rising social costs. As part of its recovery plan, the Whitman administration
has made lowering state taxes a major goal since it took office. In the short
term, balancing those revenue losses with spending cuts will prove challenging.
However, in the long run, these actions should lead to a better fiscal balance.
With an improving economic picture, New Jersey should gradually recognize the
benefits of having a more sound financial structure.

Bonds issued by the NY Local Government Assistance Corporation (LGAC) have been
among the best performers in the New York market in recent months. Rated
Aaa/AAA, the pre-refunded bonds have a 7 percent coupon. Market dislocation in
late 1994 and early 1995 allowed the Portfolio to add to its LGAC position. The
bonds' security is based on 1 percent of the state's sales tax revenues, which
flows into a "locked box" available for debt service subject to appropriation.
The bonds are additionally prized by investors due to their limited supply.

The State of the State: New York
The Pataki administration took office in January with an agenda that included
reducing government bureaucracy and lowering taxes while fostering economic
development. That agenda has been hampered by economic setbacks. The state
economy has slowed under the weight of cutbacks in several sectors, including
the key financial services industry. S&P economic projections suggest that job
growth for 1995 will remain below 1 percent, following growth of just 0.4
percent in 1994. Personal income in New York rose just 4.7 percent in 1994,
slightly below the national average of 4.9 percent, according to the Commerce
Department. The state entered fiscal 1995 facing another large operating
deficit, burdened by Medicaid expenditures that total $10.1 billion. The
administration's fiscal 1996 budget calls for a 3.4 percent decline in spending,
including cuts in welfare and social spending. The proposed social cuts are
likely to provoke an intense political debate. However, if successfully
implemented, they could lead to ratings upgrades.

The Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund Program was initiated in 1980 to provide loans to
Ohio businesses that will provide jobs and tax revenues to Ohio communities. The
program maintains pooled reserves available to pay the debt service of
participating businesses delinquent on loans, enabling them to obtain interest
rates well below the rates available from other sources. To date, 41 Ohio
businesses have obtained loans, with no access yet needed to the pooled
reserves. The bonds have an attractive coupon of 6.8 percent.

The State of the State: Ohio
An increasing economic diversity has improved Ohio's employment mix in the past
decade. Manufacturing has been especially robust in the past year as the
national economy continued to expand. The large automobile industry within the
state has benefited from a strong surge in 1994 auto sales. In addition, the
weak dollar has given an added boost to the state's exporters of durable goods.
While manufacturing still represents the lion's share of jobs -- 21 percent
versus 17 percent for the nation -- growth in the trade and services sectors has
led to greater economic stability for the state. Recent unemployment figures
have generally reflected national trends, with the Ohio jobless rate hovering
near the 4 percent level.
The Ohio financial outlook has strengthened with the stronger economy. Tax
receipts -- especially auto sales tax and use taxes -- have generally exceeded
expectations. Reduced Medicaid caseloads have led to a decrease in lower social
spending. The improved economic performance has enabled the state to expand its
financial reserves. The general fund balance was up sharply in the recent fiscal
year, following years of deterioration.

Resource Recovery
An issue of the Pennsylvania Economic Development Authority, this bond provides
funding for the Northampton Generating Project, an energy cogeneration facility.
The project is popular with industry because it is a cost-effective way to
produce energy, and popular with environmentalists because it averts further
environmental contamination by industrial by-products. While non-rated, the
bonds have a 6 1/2 percent coupon, but the Portfolio purchased them at a modest
discount for a yield above 7 percent. The bond is characteristic of the recent
efforts to increase the yield of the Portfolio.

The State of the State: Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania registered another strong economic showing in 1994 with growth
especially robust in the service, retail and government sectors. In the
goods-producing sectors, construction and durable goods manufacturers also
managed gains, while mining remained an area of weakness.
Pennsylvania weathered the recession of the early 1990s better than its
neighbors in the Northeast because of a smaller dependence on the financial
services, real estate, and defense industries. Elsewhere, because the state's
manufacturers have focused on restructuring and modernizing industrial plants,
the manufacturing sector is now well-positioned to compete in an increasingly
global marketplace. Having suffered through operating deficits during the
recession, Pennsylvania made difficult budget decisions that paid dividends
in the past year in the form of larger-than-expected surpluses. Recent tax cuts
will provide a revenue challenge, especially in light of rising mandated social
and medical spending. But having instituted more effective spending controls,
Pennsylvania has significantly improved its budgetary disciplines and should
enjoy a much improved financial outlook.

++ The per share amount is not in accord with the net realized gain for the
period because of the timing of sales of Fund shares and the amount of
per share realized and unrealized gains and losses at such time.
(1) Total investment 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.
Amount is computed on a nonannualized basis.
(2) Includes the Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated
expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Investment 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 twenty-nine Funds, nine
of which are included in these financial statements. They include EV Classic
California Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund, ("Classic California Limited
Fund"), EV Classic Connecticut Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund ("Classic
Connecticut Limited Fund"), EV Classic Florida Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund
("Classic Florida Limited Fund"), EV Classic Massachusetts Limited Maturity
Tax Free Fund ("Classic Massachusetts Limited Fund"), EV Classic Michigan
Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund ("Classic Michigan Limited Fund"), EV Classic
New Jersey Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund ("Classic New Jersey Limited
Fund"), EV Classic New York Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund ("Classic New York
Limited Fund"), EV Classic Ohio Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund ("Classic Ohio
Limited Fund"), and EV Classic Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Tax Free Fund
("Classic Pennsylvania Limited 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 Classic California
Limited Fund invests its assets in the California Limited Maturity Tax Free
Portfolio, the Classic Connecticut Limited Fund invests its assets in the
Connecticut Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio, the Classic Florida Limited
Fund invests its assets in the Florida Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio,
the Classic Massachusetts Limited Fund invests its assets in the
Massachusetts Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio, the Classic Michigan
Limited Fund invests its assets in the Michigan Limited Maturity Tax Free
Portfolio, the Classic New Jersey Limited Fund invests its assets in the New
Jersey Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio, the Classic New York Limited Fund
invests its assets in the New York Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio, the
Classic Ohio Limited Fund invests its assets in the Ohio Limited Maturity Tax
Free Portfolio, and Classic Pennsylvania Limited Fund invests its assets in
the Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio. The value of each
Fund's investment in its corresponding Portfolio reflects the Fund's
proportionate interest in the net assets of that Portfolio (9.7%, 9.0%, 8.5%,
4.5%, 20.8%, 3.4%, 3.6%, 13.0% and 8.6% at March 31, 1995 for the Classic
California Limited Fund, Classic Connecticut Limited Fund, Classic Florida
Limited Fund, Classic Massachusetts Limited Fund, Classic Michigan Limited
Fund, Classic New Jersey Limited Fund, Classic New York Limited Fund, Classic
Ohio Limited Fund, and Classic Pennsylvania Limited 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 March 31, 1995,
the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss
carryovers, which will reduce each Fund's taxable income arising from future
net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the
Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions
to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of
any liability for federal income taxes. The amounts and expiration dates of
the capital loss carryovers are as follows:
Fund Amount Expires
- ------------------------------------ ---------- ----------------
Classic California Limited Fund $116,866 March 31, 2003
Classic Connecticut Limited Fund 33,723 March 31, 2003
6,885 March 31, 2002
Classic Florida Limited Fund 175,896 March 31, 2003
Classic Massachusetts Limited Fund 35,340 March 31, 2003
58 March 31, 2002
Classic Michigan Limited Fund 202,917 March 31, 2003
12,147 March 31, 2002
Classic New Jersey Limited Fund 21,377 March 31, 2003
497 March 31, 2002
Classic New York Limited Fund 42,307 March 31, 2003
195 March 31, 2002
Classic Ohio Limited Fund 144,733 March 31, 2003
13,519 March 31, 2002
Classic Pennsylvania Limited Fund 83,019 March 31, 2003
563 March 31, 2002
Additionally, at March 31, 1995, net capital losses of $411,757, $44,534,
$484,602, $78,469, $328,237, $72,740, $125,687, $167,323, and $191,234, for
the Classic California Limited
<PAGE>
Fund, Classic Connecticut Limited Fund, Classic Florida Limited Fund, Classic
Massachusetts Limited Fund, Classic Michigan Limited Fund, Classic New Jersey
Limited Fund, Classic New York Limited Fund, Classic Ohio Limited Fund, and
Classic Pennsylvania Limited Fund, respectively, attributable to security
transactions incurred after October 31, 1994, are treated as arising on the
first day of the Fund's next taxable year. Dividends paid by each Fund from
net interest on tax-exempt municipal bonds allocated from its corresponding
Portfolio are not 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 exempt-interest dividends. The
portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued
after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to
shareholders.
D. Deferred Organization Expenses - Costs incurred by a Fund in connection
with its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on
the straight-line basis over five years, beginning on the date each Fund
commenced operations.
E. Distribution Costs - For book purposes, commissions paid on the sale of
Fund shares and other distribution costs are charged to operations. For tax
purposes, commissions paid prior to November 23, 1994 were charged to paid-in
capital and commissions paid subsequent to that date were subsequently
charged to operations. The change in the tax accounting practice was prompted
by a recent Internal Revenue Service ruling and has no effect on either the
Funds' current yield or total return (Notes 2 and 5).
F. Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
(2) Distributions to Shareholders
The net income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the
net income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record
at the time of declaration. In addition, each Fund declares each day an
amount equal to the excess of tax basis net income over book basis net
income, which amount is reported for financial statement purposes as a
distribution in excess of net investment income. 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 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. During the
year ended March 31, 1995, $62,877, $11,620, $93,792, $29,471, $42,385,
$19,013, $40,915, $31,595 and $63,189, were reclassified from distributions
in excess of net investment income to paid-in capital, due to permanent
differences between book and tax accounting for distribution costs for the
Classic California Limited Fund, Classic Connecticut Limited Fund, Classic
Florida Limited Fund, Classic Massachusetts Limited Fund, Classic Michigan
Limited Fund, Classic New Jersey Limited Fund, Classic New York Limited Fund,
Classic Ohio Limited Fund, and Classic Pennsylvania Limited Fund,
respectively. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were
not affected by these reclassifications.
(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:

(4) Transactions with Affiliates
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of each Fund, but
receives no compensation. The Portfolios have engaged Boston Management and
Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services.
See Note 2 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are
included elsewhere in this report. To enhance the net income of the Funds,
$34,529, $24,567, $37,904, $21,812, $25,718, $20,569, $31,253, $23,965 and
$44,656, of expenses related to the operation of the Classic California
Limited Fund, Classic Connecticut Limited Fund, Classic Florida Limited Fund,
Classic Massachusetts Limited Fund, Classic Michigan Limited Fund, Classic
New Jersey Limited Fund, Classic New York Limited Fund, Classic Ohio Limited
Fund, and Classic Pennsylvania Limited Fund, respectively, were allocated 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. Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM, serves as
custodian to the
<PAGE>
Funds and the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements,
IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the
average cash balances the Funds or the Portfolios maintain with IBT. Certain
of the officers and Trustees of the Funds and Portfolios are officers and
directors/ trustees of the above organizations (Note 5).
(5) Distribution Plan
Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Effective January 30, 1995, the
Trustees of the Funds adopted an Amended Distribution Plan. The Plans require
each of the Funds to pay the Principal Underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors,
Inc. (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 will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period
in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are
equivalent to the sum of (i) 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 (see Note 6) and amounts theretofore paid
to EVD. The amount payable to EVD with respect to each day is accrued on such
day as a liability of each Fund and, accordingly, reduces each Fund's net
assets. For the year ended March 31, 1995, Classic California Limited Fund,
Classic Connecticut Limited Fund, Classic Florida Limited Fund, Classic
Massachusetts Limited Fund, Classic Michigan Limited Fund, Classic New Jersey
Limited Fund, Classic New York Limited Fund, Classic Ohio Limited Fund, and
Classic Pennsylvania Limited Fund, paid or accrued $84,772, $16,496,
$135,315, $43,932, $61,092, $28,024, $61,579, $46,270 and $90,441,
respectively, to or payable to EVD representing 0.75% (annualized) of average
daily net assets. At March 31, 1995, the amount of Uncovered Distribution
Charges of EVD calculated under the Plans for Classic California Limited
Fund, Classic Connecticut Limited Fund, Classic Florida Limited Fund, Classic
Massachusetts Limited Fund, Classic Michigan Limited Fund, Classic New Jersey
Limited Fund, Classic New York Limited Fund, Classic Ohio Limited Fund, and
Classic Pennsylvania Limited Fund were approximately $1,286,000, $217,000,
$2,826,000, $594,000, $856,000, $326,000, $748,000, $677,000 and $1,391,000,
respectively.
In addition, the Plans permit the Funds to make monthly payments of service
fees to the Principal Underwriter in amounts not expected to exceed 0.25% of
each Fund's average daily net assets for any fiscal year. The Trustees have
initially implemented the Plans by authorizing the Funds to make monthly
service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter in amounts not expected to
exceed 0.15% of each Fund's average daily net assets for any fiscal year. For
the year ended March 31, 1995, Classic California Limited Fund, Classic
Connecticut Limited Fund, Classic Florida Limited Fund, Classic Massachusetts
Limited Fund, Classic Michigan Limited Fund, Classic New Jersey Limited Fund,
Classic New York Limited Fund, Classic Ohio Limited Fund, and Classic
Pennsylvania Limited Fund paid or accrued service fees to or payable to EVD
in the amount of $16,955, $3,299, $27,063, $8,762, $12,221, $5,589, $12,333,
$9,127, and $18,140, respectively. Pursuant to the Amended Distribution Plan,
on sales made prior to January 30, 1995, EVD makes monthly service fees
payments to Authorized Firms in amounts anticipated to be equivalent to
0.15%, annualized, of the assets maintained in each Fund by their customers.
On sales of shares made on January 30, 1995 and thereafter, EVD currently
expects to pay to an Authorized Firm a service fee at the time of sale equal
to 0.15% of the purchase price of the shares sold by such Authorized Firm and
monthly payments of service fees in amounts not expected to exceed 0.15% per
annum of the Funds average daily net assets based on the value of Fund shares
sold by such Authorized Firm and remaining outstanding for at least one year.
During the first year after a purchase of Fund shares. EVD will retain the
service fee as reimbursement for the service fee payment made to the
Authorized Firm at the time of sale. Service fee payments are made for
personal services and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees
paid to EVD and Authorized Firms are separate and distinct from the sales
commissions and distribution fees payable by 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.
<PAGE>
(6) Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
For shares purchased on or after January 30, 1995, a contingent deferred
sales charge (CDSC) of 1% is imposed on any redemption of Fund shares made
within one year of purchase. Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of
the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is
levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital 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 Fund's Distribution Plans. CDSC received when no Uncovered
Distribution Charges exist will be credited to the Funds. For the year ended
March 31, 1995, EVD received no CDSC paid by shareholders.

(1) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements for open
financial futures contracts.
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Florida
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, 1995, 52.6% 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 11.3% to 22.9% of total
investments.

Portfolio (New Jersey Limited Portfolio), New York Limited Maturity Tax Free
Portfolio (New York Limited Portfolio), Ohio Limited Maturity Tax Free
Portfolio (Ohio Limited Portfolio), and Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Tax
Free Portfolio (Pennsylvania Limited Portfolio), collectively the Portfolios,
are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as non-diversified
open-end management investment companies which were organized as trusts under
the laws of the State of New York on May 1, 1992. The Declarations of Trust
permit the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolios. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolios. The policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
A. Investment Valuations - Municipal bonds are normally valued on the basis
of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Taxable obligations, if any,
for which price quotations are readily available are normally valued at the
mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Futures contracts listed on
commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term
obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates value. Investments for which valuations or market
quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined
in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B. Income - Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued,
adjusted for amortization of premium or discount when required for federal
income tax purposes.
C. Income Taxes - The Portfolios are treated as partnerships for Federal tax
purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolios for federal or state taxes
on any taxable income of the Portfolios because each investor in the
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 beginning on the date each Portfolio commenced
operations.
E. Financial Futures Contracts - Upon the entering of a financial futures
contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit ("initial margin") either in
cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase
price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are
made or received by a Portfolio ("margin maintenance") each day, dependent on
the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are
recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Portfolio. A
Portfolio's investment in financial futures contracts is designed only to
hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest
rates move unexpectedly, a Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits
of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
F. 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 payment 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.

(2) Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation
for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Portfolio.
The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a
percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of
securities). For the year ended March 31, 1995, each Portfolio paid advisory
fees as follows:
Year Ended March 31, 1995
-------------------------------
Portfolio Amount Effective Rate*
- ---------------------- ---------- -----------------
California Limited $418,800 0.46%
Connecticut Limited 80,031 0.45%
Florida Limited 821,095 0.46%
Massachusetts Limited 559,365 0.46%
Michigan Limited 163,811 0.46%
New Jersey Limited 468,562 0.46%
New York Limited 845,836 0.46%
Ohio Limited 185,368 0.46%
Pennsylvania Limited 554,521 0.46%
To enhance the net income of the Connecticut Limited Portfolio, Michigan
Limited Portfolio, and Ohio Limited Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of its
fees in the amounts of $80,031, $40,822, and $44,856, respectively, for the
year ended March 31, 1995. In addition, $8,932 of other expenses related to
the operation of the Connecticut Limited Portfolio was allocated to BMR for
the year ended March 31, 1995.
Except as to Trustees of the Portfolios who are not members of EVM's or BMR's
organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services
to the Portfolios out of such investment adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust
Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM and BMR, serves as custodian of the
Portfolios. Pursuant to the custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced
by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances each
Portfolio maintains with IBT. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the
Portfolios are officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations.
Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated with the Investment Adviser
may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual fees in
accordance with the terms of the Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan. For the
year ended March 31, 1995, no significant amounts have been deferred.
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets.

(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. Borrowings will be made by the Portfolios
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 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. The Portfolios did not have
any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year.
<PAGE>
(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, 1995 is as follows:
<TABLE>
