The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by New York
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 September 30, 1995, 29.7% 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 range from 9.0% to 11.4% of total
investments.

(Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Florida Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio ("Florida Limited Portfolio") and
New York Limited Maturity Tax Free Portfolio ("New York 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, deductions
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 the Portfolios' 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.
H. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION - The interim financial statements relating
to September 30, 1995 and for the six-month period then ended have not been
audited by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of
the Portfolio's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the
financial statements.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation
for management and investment advisory services rendered to 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).

<PAGE> 14
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)
<TABLE>
For the six months ended September 30, 1995 each portfolio paid advisory fees
as follows:

PORTFOLIO AMOUNT EFFECTIVE RATE*
- ----------- ---------- ---------------
<S> <C> <C>
Florida Limited Portfolio $351,182 0.46%
New York Limited Portfolio 379,668 0.45%
<FN>
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets (annualized).
</TABLE>
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. For the six months ended September 30, 1995,
credits used to reduce custodian fees amounted to $12,321 and $25,625 for the
Florida Limited Portfolio and New York Limited Portfolio, respectively.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers and direct
ors/trustees of the above organizations. Trustees of the Portfolios who 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 six months ended September 30, 1995, no
significant amounts have been deferred.

------------ ------------
Net unrealized appreciation $ 4,742,218 $ 2,818,263
============ ============
</TABLE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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 period.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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 the Portfolios' have 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 Portfolios had
no such obligations outstanding at September 30, 1995.
