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
Mississippi 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, 1999, 38.3% 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 1.9% to 22.2% of total
investments.

(1)  Security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------
   California Municipals Portfolio (California Portfolio), Florida Municipals
   Portfolio (Florida Portfolio), Massachusetts Municipals Portfolio
   (Massachusetts Portfolio), Mississippi Municipals Portfolio (Mississippi
   Portfolio), New York Municipals Portfolio (New York Portfolio), Ohio
   Municipals Portfolio (Ohio Portfolio), Rhode Island Municipals Portfolio
   (Rhode Island Portfolio) and West Virginia Municipals Portfolio (West
   Virginia Portfolio), collectively, the Portfolios, are registered under the
   Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as non-diversified, open-end
   management investment companies. The Portfolios 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 consistently followed by the
   Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. 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 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 not readily available 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 its 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 for both
   hedging against anticipated future changes in interest rates and investment
   purposes. 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, a 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 put options is limited to
   the premium originally paid.

 F When-issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions -- The Portfolio 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 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 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.

 H Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

 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.

 J 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 reflected as a
   reduction of operating expenses on the Statement of Operations.
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 September 30, 1999, each Portfolio paid
   advisory fees as follows:

5 Line of Credit
- -------------------------------------------
   The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
   EVM and its affiliates in a $130 million ($120 million effective October 12,
   1999) unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. The
   Portfolios may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy
   redemption requests or settle investment transactions. 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 line of credit is
   allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each
   quarter. At September 30, 1999, the Florida Portfolio, Massachusetts
   Portfolio, Mississippi Portfolio, New York Portfolio, Ohio Portfolio and West
   Virginia Portfolio had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit
   of

   $7,600,000, $1,400,000, $200,000, $500,000, $5,900,000 and $400,000,
   respectively. The Portfolios did not have any significant borrowings or
   allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 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 September 30, 1999, there were no such financial instruments outstanding.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES AND INVESTORS OF THE CALIFORNIA MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, FLORIDA
MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, MASSACHUSETTS MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, MISSISSIPPI MUNICIPALS
PORTFOLIO, NEW YORK MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, OHIO MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, RHODE
ISLAND MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO, AND WEST VIRGINIA MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO
- ---------------------------------------------

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of the California Municipals Portfolio, Florida
Municipals Portfolio, Massachusetts Municipals Portfolio, Mississippi Municipals
Portfolio, New York Municipals Portfolio, Ohio Municipals Portfolio, Rhode
Island Municipals Portfolio, and West Virginia Municipals Portfolio (the
Portfolios) as of September 30, 1999, the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the years ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 and the supplementary data for each of the years in
the five-year period ended September 30, 1999. These financial statements and
supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolios 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 held as of
September 30, 1999 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 the aforementioned
Portfolios at September 30, 1999, the results of their operations, the changes
in their net assets and their supplementary data for the respective stated
periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
