 AMT - Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax
 preference item for purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

 The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Minnesota
 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 July 31, 2000, 29.1% of the securities in the
 portfolio of investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial
 institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate
 percentage insured by financial institutions ranged from 3.0% to 16.3% 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
      registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
 (3)  Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover when-
      issued securities.
 (4)  Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin
      requirements on open financial futures contracts.
 (5)  When-issued security.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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
   amended, as 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 Portfolios seek to achieve current income, exempt from regular federal
   income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes, by
   investing primarily in investment grade municipal obligations. 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.

EATON VANCE MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIOS AS OF JULY 31, 2000

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

   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.
   Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification
   of the securities sold.

 H Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian
   of the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, IBT
   receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average
   daily cash balances each Portfolio maintains with IBT. All significant credit
   balances used to reduce the Portfolios' custodian fees are reported as a
   reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 I Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
   with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
   estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
   of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
   differ from those estimates.

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, 2000, each Portfolio paid advisory
   fees as follows:

 *    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 who 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, 2000, 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 $150 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, 2000, the
   Connecticut Portfolio had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of
   credit of $100,000. The Portfolios did not have any significant borrowings or
   allocated fees during the year ended July 31, 2000.

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.

   A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at July 31, 2000
   is as follows:

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,
2000, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999
and supplementary data for each of the years in the five year period ended
July 31, 2000. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other audit
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, 2000, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and their supplementary data for the respective stated periods
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
