NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
National Municipals Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment
company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York
on May 1, 1992. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue
interests in the Portfolio. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies of the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio is treated as a partnership for Federal tax
purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on
any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is
ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes. Since some of the
Portfolio's investors are regulated investment companies that invest all or
substantially all of their assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally
must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements
(under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them.
The Portfolio will allocate at least annually among its investors each
investors' distributive share of the Portfolio's 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
Portfolio 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 the 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 the Portfolio in
connection with its organization are being amortized on the straight-line
basis over five years.
E. FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS -- Upon the entering of a financial futures
contract, the 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 the 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 the Portfolio. The
Portfolio's investment in financial futures contracts is designed only to
hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest
rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated
benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
F. LEGAL FEES -- Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of
negotiations of the terms and requirements of capital infusions, or that are
expected to result in the restructuring of or a plan of reorganization for an
investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or
enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS -- The Portfolio may engage
in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Portfolio records when-
issued securities on trade date and maintains security positions such that
sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities
purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are
marked to market daily and begin accruing interest on settlement date.
H. 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 the 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 September 30, 1995, the fee was equivalent to 0.45% of the
Portfolio's average net assets for such period and amounted to $9,944,026.
Except as to Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM's or BMR's
organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to
the Portfolio out of such investment adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust
Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM and BMR, serves as custodian of the
Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by
credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances the
Portfolio maintains with IBT. For the year ended September 30, 1995, credits
used to reduce the custodian fee amounted to $317,043. Certain of the officers
and Trustees of the Portfolio 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 percentage of their annual fees
in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For
the year ended September 30, 1995, no significant amounts have been deferred.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of investments, other than U.S. Government securities and
short term obligations, aggregated $1,192,305,188 and $1,201,905,002,
respectively.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENTS
The cost and unrealized appreciation/depreciation in value of the investments
owned at September 30, 1995, as computed on a federal income tax basis, were
as follows:
Aggregate cost $2,148,345,455
==============
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 165,148,448
Gross unrealized depreciation 29,773,867
--------------
Net unrealized appreciation $ 135,374,581
==============
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio participates 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 Portfolio solely to
facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash
requirements. Interest is charged to each Portfolio 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. For the year ended September 30, 1995, the Portfolio
did not have any significant borrowings.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Portfolio regularly trades in financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing
exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include 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 the 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.
The Portfolio did not have any open obligations under these financial
instruments at September 30, 1995.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE TRUSTEES AND INVESTORS OF
NATIONAL MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of National Municipals Portfolio as of
September 30, 1995, the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the years ended September
30, 1995 and 1994 and the supplementary data for the years ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, and for the period from the start of business, February 1,
1993, to September 30, 1993. These financial statements and supplementary data
are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
supplementary data are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned at September 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers;
where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing
procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and supplementary data present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National
Municipals Portfolio at September 30, 1995, the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets, and its supplementary data for the respective
stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
