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 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 accretion of discount when required
for Federal income tax purposes.
C Income Taxes -- The Portfolios are treated as a partnership 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 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 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
80

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
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.
Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification
of the securities sold.
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 income 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 reported as a
reduction of total expenses in 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, 2000, each Portfolio paid
advisory fees as follows:

</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.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers of the above
organizations. 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 September 30, 2000, no significant
amounts have been deferred.
3 Investments -- Purchases and sales of investments, other than U.S. Government
securities, purchased option transactions and short-term obligations, for the
year ended September 30, 2000 were as follows:

5 Line of Credit -- Each Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds
managed by BMR and EVM and its affiliates in a $150 million unsecured line of
credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 participating
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, 2000, the Florida Portfolio, New York Portfolio and
Ohio Portfolio had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of
$100,000,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
$1,700,000 and $100,000, respectively. The Portfolios did not have any
significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30,
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 September 30,
2000 is as follows:

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, 2000, the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the years ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the supplementary data for each of years in the
five-year period ended September 30, 2000. 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 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 held as of September 30, 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 the aforementioned
Portfolios at September 30, 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.
