*Percentages represent the amounts of the total dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income during the year
ended January 31, 1996, that have been designated as tax-exempt interest dividends. Tax legislation eliminated the exception
to market disount rules applicable to tax-exempt obligations. As a result, certain tax-exempt obligations acquired by the
Portfolio at market discounts may generate a small amount of ordinary taxable income.

To Shareholders
The municipal bond market rallied strongly throughout 1995, gaining back
most of the losses of the previous year. Twice during the year, the
Federal Reserve lowered short-term interest rates, further buoying the market.
Realistically, it may be difficult for the market to match last year's
gains. Still, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the
municipal bond market in 1996 and to believe that an investment in
municipal bonds represents very good value and should be a part of a
wise investor's fixed-income portfolio.
The U.S. economy continues in its favorable pattern of slow growth and
low inflation, which are a good environment for the municipal bond
market. Another plus is that if the Fed decides to make further moves
during 1996, it is more likely to lower rates than raise them.
During 1995 the municipal market underperformed the taxable market
because of concern about the possible passage of major tax reform
legislation. While such concerns are likely to continue this year, we at
Eaton Vance continue to believe there is little chance that significant
reform, in the form of a flat tax, consumption tax or value-added tax,
will be enacted during the year.
While flat tax and other reform proposals will be debated, especially
during the Presidential campaigns, they are so controversial and
sweeping that we believe the process needed to secure agreement and
subsequent passage of a plan is, at best, years away.
At the same time, the Presidential campaigns will provide significant
impetus to proposals that should prove favorable to the bond market.
There is no doubt that the campaigns will focus attention on proposals
to balance the budget and to reduce the nation's structural deficit
by cutting expenses. Any positive results in these areas are likely to
provide additional momentum to the bond market through fiscal restraint
and, therefore, lower yields.
These factors have combined to produce a significant opportunity for
municipal bond investors. To the extent that fears about tax reform
depress prices, investors can enter the market at a discount. To the
extent that budget reform measures improve the economy, investors may be
expected to reap the rewards through a strengthening bond market.
As always, achieving investment rewards depends on an investor's
willingness to adopt a long-term investment horizon. That's why we at
Eaton Vance believe patience is a key to successful investing.+

lines on the charts represent the total returns of $10,000 hypothetical
investments in the Fund and the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond

The solid line on the chart represents the Fund's performance. The
Fund's total return figure reflects Fund expenses and portfolio
transaction costs, and assumes the reinvestment of income dividends and
capital gain distributions.
The dotted line represents the performance of the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based, widely recognized unmanaged index
of municipal bonds. Whereas the Fund's portfolio comprises principally
of bonds from your individual state, the Index is composed of bonds from
all 50 states and many jurisdictions. The Index's total return does not
reflect any commissions or expenses that would be incurred if an
investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in
the Index.

Proceeds of this $13.8 million, 1993 bond issue were used to finance a
portion of the cost of construction and renovation of student housing at
the University of Florida in Gainesville.
The project consisted of a six-building, single-student apartment
facility housing up to 468 students in four-person suites. The facility
also includes student government offices, laundry, study center, a
classroom and a recreation room. The bond proceeds also were used to pay
for renovations to the university's Murphree Residential Area.

The State of the State: Florida
The Florida economy appears to be in the mature stage of the business
cycle. According to a recent state Economic Forecasting Conference,
Florida's economy should expand at a slower rate in 1996 and 1997 than
it did in 1995, although there is no sign that the state will face a
recession. The state is predicting that the rate of employment growth
also will decline, primarily because of weakness in the government and
manufacturing sectors.
During 1995, the state continued to rely more heavily for its growth
on the service sector and less on manufacturing. In addition, the state
is expected to lose Federal civilian government jobs during the coming
year. Residential construction activity was robust during 1995, but is
expected to slow in 1996.
After seeing its important tourism industry grow by 3.2% in 1995, the
state is projecting zero growth in tourism during 1996. However, the
state projects that the rate of growth will pick up again in 1997.

"The bond market performed well in 1995, and we believe there still are
gains to be made during 1996. Prospects for passage of a flat tax are
dimming with the passage of time. This fact, combined with the Federal
Reserve's actions to ease interest rates and a continued slow economy,
add up to encouraging prospects for 1996.
"We've added some housing bonds that provide
good income. Our primary concern is with the structure of the bonds in
the Portfolio. For example, we want to maintain strong call protection.
Also, we are moving out of some bonds that already have
had a nice run and into bonds with more
upside potential."

State Highway Bonds
Highway Improvements
This bond issue is being used for a variety of highway improvement
projects, most notably the construction of parts of Interstate Highway
H-3 on Maui.
Route H-3 is a 16.09-mile-long interstate highway from the H-1 Halawa
Interchange to the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station at Kaneohe. Portions of
the project were completed in 1971, with the remainder held up until
1987 by environmental concerns.
The bond issue also was to be used for several other projects, including
an interchange at the Castle Junction between Pali and Kamehamena
Highways in Kailua. The bond issue totaled $75 million.

The State of the State: Hawaii
The Hawaiian economy, which grew slowly during 1995, is expected to
continue that pattern in 1996, gaining back only a little of the ground
lost when recession hit the islands in 1992.
The state's general fund reserves have declined in recent years.
However, the state has made some progress in reducing spending in light
of the revenue reduction caused by the recession and plans to cut tax
credits to help increase revenues.
Retail prices have declined markedly during the recent recession, and
are not expected to rise sharply in the near future. As a result, the
state's rate of inflation is expected to lag behind that seen in the
rest of the U.S.
Tourism is a huge factor in the Hawaiian economy, depending heavily on
visitors from Japan. This industry was relatively strong in 1995 despite
the continued weakness of the Japanese economy. The number of Japanese
tourists has increased steadily since 1987 and was expected to reach a
new high in 1995. Ironically, although the California economy has been
recovering, Hawaii does not expect to see gains in westbound tourists
during 1996.

From the Portfolio Manager
[PHOTO OF ROBERT B. MACINTOSH OMMITTED]
"During the last year, trading activity in the Portfolio has been rather
restrained, in part because there has been a shortage of new issuance in
Hawaii, as there has been in many other states.
"The other major factor has been the fact that we have, over time,
succeeded in diversifying the Portfolio. Having achieved that goal, we
have not been inclined to do much trading except to improve the
Portfolio's overall call protection, which remains quite high. We've
also focused on maintaining the high quality of the bonds in the
Portfolio."

Shawnee County
General Obligation Bonds
These bonds were issued via competitive sale in June 1994. Relative to
other Kansas tax-exempt bonds at the time, they offered an attractive
yield and a discount coupon. Currently, the bonds trade at a
slight premium.
Shawnee County is home to Topeka, the state capitol. Predictably, its
economy is anchored by a large state and Federal government presence,
with health care and higher education also leading sectors.
The proceeds of the bonds were used for several government purposes,
including road improvements, new county election equipment and
architectural fees for the rehabilitation of the law enforcement
building.

The State of the State: Kansas
Kansas experienced steady, moderate growth in 1995 and projects more of
the same in 1996. Unemployment continues to track the national trend,
but rates historically run about 1% lower.
Favorable product liability legislation passed in Washington, D.C. has
been a boon for the small aircraft industry, as attested to by Cessna's
plant expansion in Wichita and its new plant in Independence.
Kansas continues its planned drawdown of the state's accumulated general
fund balance to its required minimum target of 7.5% of expenditures.
Generally, its receipts are reported to be on track, with sales tax
revenues a little sluggish for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996.

"While interest rates have declined a lot since last summer, the
beginning of 1996 is proving to be volatile. Through the second half of
1995, I continued the strategy of selling current-coupon bonds and
replacing them with either discount or higher-coupon bonds.
"Local single-family housing bonds in the secondary market are one area
of value in an otherwise pricey Kansas municipal market. Given the thin
issuance volume in Kansas, this portfolio continues to be positioned
somewhat more conservatively, because there are fewer opportunities to
restructure under changing interest rate environments."

Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust (the Trust) is an entity of the type
commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. The Trust presently consists of nine
Funds, three of which are included in these financial statements. They
include EV Marathon Florida Insured Municipals Fund, ("Marathon Florida
Insured Fund"), EV Marathon Hawaii Municipals Fund ("Marathon Hawaii
Fund") and EV Marathon Kansas Municipals Fund ("Marathon Kansas Fund").
Each Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in a
separate corresponding open-end management investment company (a
"Portfolio"), a New York Trust, having the same investment objective as
its corresponding Fund. The Marathon Florida Insured Fund invests its
assets in the Florida Insured Municipals Portfolio, the Marathon Hawaii
Fund invests its assets in the Hawaii Municipals Portfolio and the
Marathon Kansas Fund invests its assets in the Kansas Municipals
Portfolio. The value of each Fund's investment in its corresponding
Portfolio reflects the Funds' proportionate interest in the net assets
of that Portfolio (85.8%, 97.3%, and 92.5% at January 31, 1996 for the
Marathon Florida Insured Fund, Marathon Hawaii Fund and Marathon Kansas
Fund, respectively.) The performance of each Fund is directly affected
by the performance of its corresponding Portfolio. The financial
statements of each Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments,
are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction
with each Fund's financial statements. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in
the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
A. Investment Valuations - Valuation of securities by the Portfolios is
discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements
which are included elsewhere in
this report.
B. Income - Each Fund's net investment income consists of the Fund's pro
rata share of the net investment income of its corresponding Portfolio,
less all actual and accrued expenses of each Fund determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
C. Federal Taxes - Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable
and tax-exempt income, including any net realized gain on investments.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
At January 31,1996, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes had
capital loss carryovers which will reduce taxable income arising from
future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted
by the Internal Revenue Code, and this will reduce the amount of the
distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to
relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The
amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryovers are as
follows:
Marathon Florida Insured Fund $128,828 January 31, 2004
$1,222 January 31, 2003
Marathon Hawaii Fund $636,278 January 31, 2004
$67,778 January 31, 2003
Marathon Kansas Fund $29,445 January 31, 2004
$5,910 January 31, 2003
Dividends paid by each Fund from net interest on tax-exempt municipal
bonds allocated from its corresponding Portfolio are not includable by
shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes because
each Fund and Portfolio intend to meet certain requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies which
will enable the Funds to pay exempt-interest dividends. The portion of
such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after
August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
D. Deferred Organization Expenses - Costs incurred by a Fund in
connection with its organization, including registration costs, are
being amortized on the straight-line
basis over five years.
E. 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.
F. Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date
basis.
(2) Distributions to Shareholders
The net income of a Fund is determined daily and substantially all of
the net income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders
of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are paid monthly.
Distributions of allocated realized capital gains, if any, are made at
least annually. Shareholders may reinvest capital gain distributions in
additional shares of a Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend
date. Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares or, at the
election of the shareholder, in cash. The Funds distinguish between
distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Generally
accepted accounting principles require that only distributions in excess
of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial
statements as a return of capital. Differences in the recognition or
classification of income between the financial statements and tax
earnings and profits which result in temporary over distributions for
financial statements purposes are classified as distributions in excess
of net investment income or accumulated net realized gains. Permanent
differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions
are reclassified to paid-in capital.
(3) Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Funds' Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an
unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
(without par value). Transactions in Fund shares for the were as
follows:

* The Fund share activity is for the period from the start of business,

</TABLE>
(4) Transactions with Affiliates
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of each Fund,
but receives no compensation. Each of the Portfolios has engaged Boston
Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment
advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial
Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. To enhance the
net income of the Funds, $12,277, $27,054 and $7,444 of expenses related
to the operation of the Marathon Florida Insured Fund, Marathon Hawaii
Fund and Marathon Kansas Fund, respectively, were allocated, to EVM.
Except as to Trustees of the Funds and the Portfolios who are not
members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive
remuneration for their services to each Fund out of such investment
adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), serves as custodian
to the Funds and the Portfolios. Prior to November 10, 1995, IBT was an
affiliate of EVM. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, IBT
receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the
average cash balances the Funds or the Portfolios maintain with IBT.
All significant credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custody fees
have been reflected as a reduction of expenses in the statements of
operations.Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds and
Portfolios are officers and directors/trustees of the above
organizations (Note 5).
(5) Distribution Plan
Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plans require each
of the Funds to pay the principal underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors,
Inc. (EVD), amounts equal to 1/365 of 0.75% of a Funds daily net assets,
for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to a Fund. A
Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in
which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges which are
equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% of the aggregate amount received by the
Fund for shares sold plus (ii) distribution fees calculated by applying
the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance
of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD, reduced by the aggregate
amount of contingent deferred sales charges (Note 6) and daily amounts
theretofore paid to EVD. The amount payable to EVD with respect to each
day is accrued on such day as a liability of each Fund, and accordingly,
reduces the Fund's net assets. For the year ended January 31, 1996,
Marathon Florida Insured Fund, Marathon Hawaii Fund and Marathon Kansas
Fund, paid or accrued $109,639, $108,452, and $69,566, respectively, to
or payable to EVD representing 0.75% (annualized) of average daily net
assets. At January 31, 1996 the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges
of EVD calculated under the Plans for Marathon Florida Insured Fund,
Marathon Hawaii Fund and Marathon Kansas Fund were approximately $659,000,
$631,000 and $424,000, respectively.
In addition, the Plans authorize the Funds to make payments of service
fees to the Principal Underwriter, Authorized Firms and other persons in
amounts not exceeding 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets for
any fiscal year. The Trustees have initially implemented the Plans by
authorizing the Funds to make quarterly service fee payments to the
Principal Underwriter and Authorized Firms in amounts not expected to
exceed 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net assets based on the value
of each Funds shares sold by such persons and remaining outstanding for
at least one year. During the year ended January 31, 1996, Marathon
Florida Insured Fund, Marathon Hawaii Fund, and Marathon Kansas Fund
paid or accrued service fees to or payable to EVD in the amount of
$6,250, $12,000, and $4,926, respectively. Service fee payments are made
for personal services and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.
Service fees paid to EVD and Authorized Firms are separate and distinct
from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable by a Fund to
EVD, and as such are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there
are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers or
directors of EVD.
(6) Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is imposed on any redemption
of a Fund's shares made within six years of purchase. Generally, the
CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of
redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired
by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC is
imposed at rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the
first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point
each subsequent year. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold
to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients.
CDSC charges are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered
Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund's Distribution Plan.
CDSC charges received when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist
will be credited to the Fund. EVD received approximately $20,000,
$78,000, and $7,900 of CDSC paid by shareholders for the year ended
January 31, 1996 for the Marathon Florida Insured Fund, Marathon
Hawaii Fund and Marathon Kansas Fund, respectively.
(7) Investment Transactions
Increases and decreases in each Fund's investment in its corresponding
Portfolio for the year ended January 31, 1996 were as follows:
Marathon Florida Marathon Marathon
Insured Fund Hawaii Fund Kansas Fund
---------------- ----------- -----------
Increases $6,318,583 $3,207,662 $2,258,875
Decreases 1,526,545 2,644,995 311,571
(8) Special Meetings of Shareholders (Unaudited)
On December 8, 1995 and December 15, 1995, special meetings of the
shareholders of the Florida Insured Fund (December 8), the Hawaii Fund
(December 15) and the Kansas Fund (December 15) were held for the
purpose of voting on the following matters:
1. To consider and act on a proposal to amend each Fund's investment
policy to provide that each Fund may invest without limit in municipal
obligations the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income
tax (but which may be a tax preference item for purposes of alternative
minimum tax) and from the State taxes that, in accordance with each
Fund's investment objective, the Fund it seeks to avoid.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Trustees and Investors of
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of

Municipals Fund and EV Marathon Kansas Municipals Fund (certain of the
series constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II) as of January 31,
1996 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended,
the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for
the year ended January 31, 1996 and the period from the start of
business, March 2, 1994, to January 31, 1995. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based upon our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. 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 financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
aforementioned funds of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II at January 31,
1996, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for the year
ended January 31, 1996 and the period from the start of business, March
2, 1994, to January 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted

Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
Florida Insured Municipals Portfolio ("Florida Insured Portfolio"),
Hawaii Municipals Portfolio ("Hawaii Portfolio") and Kansas Municipals
Portfolio ("Kansas 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 for the Hawaii
Portfolio and October 25, 1993 for the Florida Insured Portfolio and
Kansas Portfolio. 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 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. Deferred Organization Expenses - Costs incurred by a Portfolio in
connection with its organization are being amortized on the straight-
line basis over five years.
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 contract 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 Portfolio may
engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Portfolio
records when-issued securities on trade date and maintains 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
accruing interest on settlement date.
G. 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.
H. Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date
basis.
(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 January 31, 1996, the
fee for the Florida Insured Portfolio, Hawaii Portfolio and Kansas
Portfolio was equivalent to 0.16% of each Portfolio's average net assets
for the year and amounted to $27,933, $23,715, and $15,929, respectively.
To enhance the net income of the Florida Insured Portfolio, Hawaii
Portfolio and Kansas Portfolio, BMR made a reduction of its fee in the
amount of $27,933, $23,715, and $15,929, respectively, and $28,813,
$29,013, $25,353, respectively, of expenses related to the operation
of the Portfolios were. allocated to BMR. 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) serves as custodian of the
Portfolios. Prior to November 10, 1995, IBT was an affiliate of EVM and
BMR. 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 each portfolio's custody fees are reported as a
reduction of expenses on their statement of operations. Certain of the
officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers and
directors/trustees 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 January 31, 1996, no significant
amounts have been deferred.
(3) Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than U.S. Government
securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended January 31,
1996 were as follows:
Florida Hawaii Kansas
Insured Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio
----------------- ---------------- ---------------
Purchases $9,760,902 $4,059,664 $4,116,599
Sales 5,429,272 2,761,709 2,021,186
(4) Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation/depreciation in value of the
investments owned by each Portfolio at January 31, 1996, as computed on
a federal income tax basis, are as follows:
Florida Hawaii Kansas

Net unrealized

================= ================ ===============
(5) Line of Credit
The portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by
BMW 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. Each Portfolio may
temporarily borrow up to 5% of its total assets to satisfy redemption
requests or settle securities transactions. 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 in allocated among the participating
funds and portfolios at the end of each quarter. The Florida Insured
Portfolio, Hawaii Portfolio and the Kansas Portfolio did not have any
significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January
31, 1996.
(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 statements 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 January
31, 1996 is as follows:
Futures
Contracts NetUnrealized
Expiration Date Contracts Position Depreciation
--------------- --------- ------------ -----------------
Kansas 3/96 5 U.S. Short
Treasury $ (826)
==========
At January 31, 1996, the Kansas Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or
securities segregated to cover margin requirements on open futures
contracts. The Florida Insured and Hawaii Portfolios did not have any
open financial futures contracts at January 31, 1996.
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Trustees and Investors of
Florida Insured Municipals Portfolio
Hawaii Municipals Portfolio
Kansas Municipals Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities
including the portfolio of investments of Florida Insured Municipals
Portfolio, Hawaii Municipals Portfolio and Kansas Municipals Portfolio
as of January 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations for the
year then ended and, the statements of changes in net assets and
supplementary data for the year ended January 31, 1996 and the period
from the start of business, March 2, 1994, to January 31, 1995. These
financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of
each Portfolio's 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 audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned at January 31, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. 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 Florida
Insured Municipals Portfolio, Hawaii Municipals Portfolio, and Kansas
Municipals Portfolio at January 31, 1996, the results of their
operations for the year then ended and, the changes in their net assets,
and their supplementary data for the year ended January 31, 1996 and the
period from the start of business, March 2, 1994, to January 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
