investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by
financial institution ranged from 5.0% to 13.0% of total investments.
(1) Security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.
(2) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------
Arizona Municipals Portfolio (Arizona Portfolio), Colorado Municipals
Portfolio (Colorado Portfolio), Connecticut Municipals Portfolio (Connecticut
Portfolio), Michigan Municipals Portfolio (Michigan Portfolio), Minnesota
Municipals Portfolio (Minnesota Portfolio), New Jersey Municipals Portfolio
(New Jersey Portfolio), Pennsylvania Municipals Portfolio (Pennsylvania
Portfolio) and Texas Municipals Portfolio (Texas 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 and options on
futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing
settlement prices. Over-the-counter options on financial futures contracts
are normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked 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 Federal 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 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.
E Options on Financial Futures Contracts -- Upon the purchase of a put option
on a financial futures contract by a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded
as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a
purchased option expires, a Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of
the cost of the option. When a Portfolio enters into a closing sale
transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether
the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than
the cost of the option. When a Portfolio exercises a put option, settlement
is made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to
the premium originally paid.
F When-issued and Delayed Delivery
Transactions -- The Portfolios may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery
transactions. The Portfolios record when-issued securities on trade date and
maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be
available to make payments for the securities purchased. Securities purchased
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and
begin earning interest on settlement date.
G Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
H Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) 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
68

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
IBT. All significant credit balances used to reduce each Portfolio's
custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of
Operations.
I Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
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 July 31, 1999, each Portfolio paid advisory
fees as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PORTFOLIO AMOUNT EFFECTIVE RATE*
<S> <C> <C>
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona $ 386,713 0.38%

Pennsylvania 1,558,973 0.45%
Texas 26,732 0.16%
</TABLE>
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets.
Except as to Trustees of the Portfolios who are not members of EVM's or BMR's
organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services
to the Portfolios out of such investment adviser fee.
Trustees of the Portfolios that are not affiliated with the Investment
Adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual
fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan.
For the year ended July 31, 1999, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers of the above
organizations.

5 Line of Credit
- -------------------------------------------
The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM and their affiliates in a committed $130 million unsecured line of credit
agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the portfolios or
funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated
short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund
based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or
Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on
the daily unused portion of the facility is allocated among the participating
portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. At July 31, 1999, the
Arizona Portfolio, New Jersey Portfolio, and Pennsylvania Portfolio had
balances outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $200,000, $900,000
and $900,000 respectively. The Portfolios did not have any significant
borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended July 31, 1999.
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 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.
At July 31, 1999, there were no outstanding obligations under these financial
instruments.

MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, CONNECTICUT MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, MICHIGAN MUNICIPALS
PORTFOLIO, MINNESOTA MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, NEW JERSEY MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO,
PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO AND TEXAS MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO:
- ---------------------------------------------
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Arizona Municipals Portfolio, Colorado
Municipals Portfolio, Connecticut Municipals Portfolio, Michigan Municipals
Portfolio, Minnesota Municipals Portfolio, New Jersey Municipals Portfolio,
Pennsylvania Municipals Portfolio and Texas Municipals Portfolio as of July 31,
1999, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the years ended July 31, 1999 and 1998
and supplementary data for each of the years in the five year period ended July
31, 1999. These financial statements and supplementary data are the
responsibility of the Trusts' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary
data are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at July 31,
1999, 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 Arizona Municipals
Portfolio, Colorado Municipals Portfolio, Connecticut Municipals Portfolio,
Michigan Municipals Portfolio, Minnesota Municipals Portfolio, New Jersey
Municipals Portfolio, Pennsylvania Municipals Portfolio and Texas Municipals
Portfolio at July 31, 1999, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and their supplementary data for the respective stated periods
