Letter to Shareholders

Thomas J. Fetter, President

1998 was another favorable year for the municipal bond market. Continued low
inflation and a declining interest rate environment helped provide positive
returns for the tax-exempt sector. U.S. economic growth was more robust than
expected in the fourth quarter. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 6.1%, the
fastest quarterly pace in nearly 15 years, making the GDP growth rate 4.3% for
all of 1998. The economy's strong performance at year-end was attributed to
vigorous consumer spending and a shrinking trade deficit.

Municipal bonds again trailed the Treasury market, which rallied strongly as
foreign and domestic investors sought quality in an uncertain global economic
outlook. In addition, a heavy new issue calendar produced supply pressures for
the tax-exempt market. More than $300 billion in new municipal issues came to
market in 1998. Nonetheless, the tax-exempt market performed well, with the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index- a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
municipal bonds - posting a return of 6.6% for the year.*

Municipal bonds are now among the most undervalued asset classes...

As the year ended, municipal bonds represented one of the most undervalued asset
classes in the financial markets. Historically, municipal bond yields have
averaged around 85% of Treasury bond yields. However, in the flight to
Treasuries that characterized the bond market in late 1998, that ratio has been
skewed dramatically. At December 31, 1998, representative 30-year tax-exempt
bonds were yielding 5.06%, or nearly 100% of 30-year Treasury yields!
Considering their tax-exemption, that is one of the true market anomalies of the
decade. By any measure of historical valuation, municipal bonds today represent
a remarkable bargain.

Taxes remain high, while tax reform is again stalled in Congress...

The election year promises of tax cuts appear to have been all but forgotten in
Washington. Meanwhile, it is estimated that the average American worked until
May 10 to pay his or her taxes in 1998, according to the Tax Foundation. That
poses an enormous financial burden - and an increasing challenge for those who
may be simultaneously paying for college tuition, caring for elderly parents, or
trying to plan for their own retirement.

Amid low inflation and growing federal budget surpluses, we believe that the
outlook for bonds remains favorable. At their recent levels, municipal bonds are
especially attractive. Moreover, municipal bonds remain an excellent
fixed-income alternative - to diversify one's investment portfolio and to help
lower one's tax burden.

                                      Sincerely,

                                      /s/ Thomas J. Fetter

INVESTMENT UPDATE

[PHOTO APPEARS HERE]
Cynthia J. Clemson
Portfolio Manager

The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . Florida registered strong job growth in 1998. During the past three years, the
  state has added more than 300,000 jobs to service sector payrolls, with
  especially strong growth in hotel, motel, and recreational services. The
  health care sector also benefited from continuing strong demand.

 . While last summer's brushfires caused a temporary setback to the Florida
  tourism industry, theme park and convention center expansions are expected to
  generate new momentum in 1999. The Orlando area, home to nine full-scale theme
  parks, will receive a major boost from its $3 billion airport expansion.

 . Florida's trade sector has suffered with the weakness in Asia and Latin
  America. Continuing recession in Japan has resulted in significantly lower
  exports of citrus fruit and chemicals, while the perilous financial condition
  of Brazil, the state's largest trade market, continues to pose a risk to Latin
  America-bound exports.

The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . During the year ended January 31, 1999, the Fund's Class A and Class B shares
  had total returns of 6.5% and 5.8%, respectively.1 For Class A, this return
  resulted from an increase in net asset value (NAV) per share to $11.54 on
  January 31, 1999 from $11.37 on January 31, 1998, and the reinvestment of
  $0.552 per share in tax-free income.2 For Class B, this return resulted from
  an increase in NAV to $11.40 from $11.23, and the reinvestment of $0.468 per
  share in tax-free income.2

 . Based on the Fund's most recent dividends and NAVs on January 31, 1999 of
  $11.54 per share for Class A and $11.40 for Class B, the distribution rates
  were 4.68% and 3.90%, respectively.3

 . The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and B shares at January 31 were 3.93% and
  3.34%, respectively.4

Management Update 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . Management maintained a barbell strategy during the year. A portion of the
  Portfolio consisted of lower and current coupon, insured bonds+ for liquidity
  and performance. Another portion, of higher-coupon issues, provided a good
  income component.

 . In 1998, the municipal market was again marked by a significant calling of
  higher-coupon bonds. For that reason, the Portfolio continued to emphasize
  call protection and trading short call bonds for those with longer call dates.

 . At January 31, the Portfolio was 98.1% invested in issues rated AAA. Given the
  narrow yield differentials between municipals and Treasury bonds, the Fund
  offered unusually good value for tax-conscious shareholders.

Miami-Dade County
School District Bonds

 . The Miami Dade County School District Authority oversees public elementary and
  secondary education in Dade County, the most populous county in Florida.

 . The proceeds of the 1998 bonds were used to pre-refund a previous,
  higher-coupon issue of the Authority. 

 . The bond represented an insured+ general obligation with an attractive 5.375%
  coupon. The bonds were additionally attractive because they are non-callable.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/1/ These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A
    shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class
    B shares. /2/ A portion of the Fund's income could be subject to federal
    income tax and/or alternative minimum tax. /3/ The Fund's distribution rate
    represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by
    dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset
    value. /4/ The Fund's SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment
    income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of
    the period and annualizing the result. /5/ Returns are historical and are
    calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value with all
    distributions reinvested. SEC returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75%
    sales charge. SEC returns for Class B reflect applicable CDSC based on the
    following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 
    2% -5th year; 1% - 6th year. +Private insurance does not decrease the risk
    of loss of principal associated with this investment.

    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and
    principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth
    more or less than their original cost.

  3/2/94. Index information is available only at month-end; therefore, the line
  comparison begins at the next month following the commencement of the Fund's
  investment operations. The chart compares the total return of the Fund's Class
  B with that of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based,

  change in net asset value (NAV) with all distributions reinvested. The lines
  on the chart represent total returns of $10,000 hypothetical investments in
  the Fund and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. An investment in Class
  A shares on 3/31/94 at net asset value would have grown to $14,838 on January
  31, 1999; $14,131, including the 4.75% sales charge. The Index's total return
  does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an
  investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the

The Economy 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . Hawaii's economy remained weak in the final months of 1998. For the year,
  state gross product grew just 1.5%, a significantly slower pace than that of
  the nation. The weakness of the Asian economies and the weak Japanese yen
  continues to have a dampening effect on the Hawaiian economy.

 . The tourism industry, hurt by the continuing recession in Japan, posted
  another weak showing in 1998. Total visitor arrivals were down 1.5% for the
  year. The Big Island proved an exception to this trend, as its new, expanded
  Kona runway attracted rising tourist volumes.

 . Interestingly, despite the weakness in industries that depend upon external
  money inflow, the local economy has mounted a modest comeback. Personal income
  rose 2.0% in 1998 and neighborhood retailers reported stronger sales. Small
  business and self-employed workers are increasingly accounting for job growth
  in a slowly diversifying economy.

The Fund

 . During the year ended January 31, 1999, the Fund's Class A and Class B shares
  had total returns of 6.3% and 5.3%, respectively./1/ For Class A, this return
  resulted from an increase in net asset value (NAV) per share to $10.05 on
  January 31, 1999 from $9.93 on January 31, 1998, and the reinvestment of
  $0.492 per share in tax-free income./2/ For Class B, this return resulted from
  an increase in NAV to $10.20 from $10.13, and the reinvestment of $0.452 per
  share in tax-free income./2/

 . Based on the Fund's most recent dividends and NAVs on January 31, 1999 of
  $10.05 per share for Class A and $10.20 for Class B, the distribution rates
  were 4.96% and 4.26%, respectively./3/

 . The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and B shares at January 31 were 4.38% and
  3.87%, respectively./4/

Management Update 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . Amid a shortage of Hawaii bonds, we sought opportunities to purchase
  attractive coupons. One such issue was a 5.625% industrial development bond
  for Continental Airlines. The passenger carrier is trying to expand its
  foothold in the lucrative Hawaii market.

 . Given a sluggish Hawaiian economy, the Portfolio underweighted Hawaii general
  obligations (GOs). Hawaii GOs were downgraded in mid-1998 and have remained
  under the close scrutiny of ratings agencies.

 . The Portfolio has increasingly emphasized insured+ bonds, which offered
  quality, liquidity, and performance. We also continued to upgrade call
  protection, thereby adding potential for capital appreciation without
  sacrificing yield.

 . The Housing Development Authority was created to finance the construction of
  public, housing-related projects, including educational facilities for the
  University of Hawaii.

 . The proceeds of these bonds were used to finance construction and renovation
  projects for University dormitories and ongoing maintenance.

 . The insured+ bonds have a 5.65% coupon and represent a very liquid investment
  in a well-known issuer. In addition, the bonds provide excellent call
  protection.

  comparison begins at the next month following the commencement of the Fund's
  investment operations.The chart compares the total return of the Fund's Class
  B with that of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based,
  unmanaged market index. Returns are calculated by determining the percentage
  change in net asset value (NAV) with all distributions reinvested. The lines
  on the chart represent total returns of $10,000 hypothetical investments in
  the Fund and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. An investment in Class
  A shares on 3/31/94 at net asset value would have grown to $13,492 on January
  31, 1999; $12,847, including the 4.75% sales charge. The Index's total return
  does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an
  investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the
  Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index.

INVESTMENT UPDATE

Timothy T. Browse 
Portfolio Manager

The Economy 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . The Kansas economy turned in another strong showing in 1998, registering
  employment growth for the year of around 2.8%. Kansans' personal income, which
  rose a robust 6.4% in 1997, climbed a healthy 4.9% in 1998. The state had a
  3.7% unemployment rate in January, up slightly from the 3.6% rate of a year
  earlier, but still well below the national rate.

 . Job growth was especially strong in durable goods manufacturing, due to
  large-scale hiring in the aircraft industry. The construction, transportation,
  and utilities sectors were also responsible for significant job creation.

 . Consistent with a trend toward a more diversified state economy, employment in
  the finance, insurance and real estate industries is expected to increase
  steadily in Kansas in coming years.

The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . During the year ended January 31, 1999, the Fund's Class A and Class B shares
  had total returns of 5.8% and 5.0%, respectively.1 For Class A, this return
  resulted from an increase in net asset value (NAV) per share to $10.47 on
  January 31, 1999 from $10.46 on January 31, 1998, and the reinvestment of
  $0.522 per share in tax-free income.2 For Class B, this return resulted from a
  decline in NAV to $10.37 from $10.38, and the reinvestment of $0.456 per share
  in tax-free income./2/

 . Based on the Fund's most recent dividends and NAVs on January 31, 1999 of
  $10.47 per share for Class A and $10.37 for Class B, the distribution rates
  were 5.04% and 4.27%, respectively./3/

 . The SEC 30-day yields for Class A and B shares at January 31 were 4.24% and
  3.68%, respectively./4/

Management Update 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 . In a quiet Kansas municipal market, the Portfolio was characterized by
  relatively little trading activity. The Portfolio maintained a barbell
  strategy, balancing high-coupon issues for yield with discount issues for
  performance.

 . Housing bonds provided above-market yields for the Portfolio. Because they are
  subject to periodic calls, they may be less sensitive to interest rate
  fluctuations.

 . The Portfolio remained very selective with respect to hospital bonds. The
  hospital sector continues to struggle with a changing health care climate,
  made increasingly difficult by newly implemented Medicare and Medicaid
  reimbursement policies.

County of Johnson, KS
Unified School District #231

 . Johnson County, Kansas, which includes a portion of the Kansas City
  metropolitan statistical area, has been among the state's leading counties in
  population growth over the last decade.

 . The proceeds of these bonds financed activities in the school district that
  includes the towns of Gardner, Edgerton, and Antioch.

 . These insured general obligations provide excellent quality for the
  Portfolio.+ In addition to their attractive 6.0% coupon, the bonds offered the
  Portfolio very good call protection.

/1/ These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A
    shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class

* Source: Towers Data Systems, Bethesda, MD. Investment operations commenced on
  3/2/94. Index information is available only at month-end; therefore, the line
  comparison begins at the next month following the commencement of the Fund's
  investment operations. The chart compares the total return of the Fund's Class
  B with that of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based,
  unmanaged market index. Returns are calculated by determining the percentage
  change in net asset value (NAV) with all distributions reinvested. The lines
  on the chart represent total returns of $10,000 hypothetical investments in
  the Fund and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. An investment in Class
  A shares on 3/31/94 at net asset value would have grown to $13,766 on January
  31, 1999; $13,109, including the 4.75% sales charge. The Index's total return
  does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an
  investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the
  Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal income tax information on distributions. For federal income tax
purposes, 99.88% of the total dividends paid by the Fund from net investment
income during the year ended January 31, 1999 was designated as an
exempt-interest dividend.

(1) For the period from the start of business, March 2, 1994, to January 31,
    1995.

(2) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the
    first day and a sale at the net asset value on the last day of each period
    reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed reinvested at the
    net asset value on the reinvestment date. Total return is not computed on an
    annualized basis.

(3) Includes the Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated
    expenses.

(4) The expense ratios for the year ended January 31, 1996 and periods
    thereafter have been adjusted to reflect a change in reporting requirements.
    The new reporting guidelines require the Fund, as well as its corresponding
    Portfolio, to increase its expense ratios by the effect of any expense
    offset arrangements with its service providers. The expense ratios for the
    period ended January 31, 1995 have not been adjusted to reflect this change.

(5) Annualized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1 Significant Accounting Policies
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (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 four non-diversified Funds, three of which are
  included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance Florida
  Insured Municipals Fund ("Florida Insured Fund"), Eaton Vance Hawaii
  Municipals Fund ("Hawaii Fund") and Eaton Vance Kansas Municipals Fund
  ("Kansas Fund"). The Funds offer two classes of shares. Class A shares are
  sold subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares
  are sold at net asset value and are subject to a declining contingent deferred
  sales charge (see Note 6). All classes of shares have equal rights to assets
  and voting privileges. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated
  daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class
  to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class
  specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
  ratio of the value of each class' paid shares to the total value of all paid
  shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain
  other class specific expenses. 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 Florida Insured Fund invests its
  assets in the Florida Insured Municipals Portfolio, the Hawaii Fund invests
  its assets in the Hawaii Municipals Portfolio and the Kansas Fund invests its
  assets in the Kansas Municipals Portfolio. The value of each Fund's investment
  in its corresponding Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in
  the net assets of that Portfolio (99.5%, 99.3% and 98.9% at January 31, 1999
  for Eaton Vance Florida Insured Fund, Eaton Vance Hawaii Fund and Eaton Vance
  Kansas Fund). 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 1A of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which
  are included elsewhere in this report.

  B Income -- Each Fund's net investment income consists of each 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, 1999, the Hawaii
  Fund, 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 thus will
  reduce the amount of 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:

   Fund                                Amount           Expires
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Hawaii Fund                         $  26,381        January 31, 2005
                                       $ 249,200        January 31, 2004

  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. Pursuant to Section 852 of the Internal
  Revenue Code, the Kansas Fund designated $5,681 of distributions from
  tax-exempt income as a long-term capital gain distribution for its taxable
  year ended January 31, 1999.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D


  D Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by each Fund in connection
  with its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on a
  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 Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as
  custodian to the Funds and the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective
  custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are
  determined based on the average cash balances the Funds and Portfolios
  maintain with IBT. All significant credit balances used to reduce each Fund's
  custodian fees are reported as a reduction of operating expenses on the
  statements of operations.

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

2 Distributions to Shareholders
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The net income of each 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
  the 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 statement
  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.
  During the year ended January 31, 1999, the Hawaii Fund reclassified $39,075
  from accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income to paid-in
  capital due to permanent differences between book and tax accounting for
  distributions. Net investment income, net realized gains, and net assets were
  not affected by these reclassifications.

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 were as follows:

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 Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which
  are included elsewhere in this report. Except as to Trustees of the Funds and
  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 the
  investment adviser fee earned by BMR. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a
  subsidiary of EVM and the Fund's principal underwriter, received $3,439, $142
  and $1,250 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares from
  Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund, respectively, for the year
  ended January 31, 1999.

  Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds and Portfolios are officers
  and directors/trustees of the above organizations.

5 Distribution and Service Plans
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan (Class B Plan) pursuant to Rule
  12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and a service plan (Class A
  Plan, the Plans). The Plans require the Class B shares to pay the principal
  underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), amounts equal to 0.75% of
  each Fund's Class B average daily net assets, for providing ongoing
  distribution services and facilities to the respective Fund. A Fund's Class B
  shares 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 Class B shares sold plus (ii) interest 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 (see Note 6) and 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 Class B and, accordingly, reduces the Class B's net assets.
  For the year ended January 31, 1999, the Class B shares of the Florida Insured
  Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund paid $164,729, $144,679 and $78,822,
  respectively, to EVD, representing 0.75% of each Fund's Class B average daily
  net assets. For the year ended January 31, 1999, the amount of Uncovered
  Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B Plans for Florida
  Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund were approximately $688,000,
  $682,000 and $371,000, respectively.

  In addition, the Plans also authorize each class to make payments of service
  fees to EVD, Authorized Firms and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25%
  of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class B
  shares for any fiscal year. The Trustees have initially implemented the Plans
  by authorizing each class to make quarterly payments of service fees to EVD
  and Authorized Firms in amounts not expected to exceed 0.20% per annum of each
  Fund's average daily net assets attributable to both Class A and Class B
  shares based on the value of Fund shares sold by such persons and remaining
  outstanding for at least one year. For the year ended January 31, 1999,
  Florida Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund paid or accrued service fees
  to or payable to EVD in the amount of $4,244, $607 and $1,792, respectively
  for Class A shares, and $35,266, $30,640 and $17,841, respectively, for Class
  B shares. Service fee payments will be made for personal services and/or the
  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 each Fund to EVD, and as such are not subject to automatic
  discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of
  EVD.

6 Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is imposed on any redemption of
  Class B 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 Class B shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital
  gains distributions. The CDSC is imposed at declining 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
  Class B 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 Class B
  Distribution Plan. CDSC charges received when no Uncovered Distribution
  Charges exist will be credited to the Fund. EVD received approximately
  $43,000, $55,000 and $15,000 of CDSC paid by Class B shareholders of Florida
  Insured Fund, Hawaii Fund and Kansas Fund, respectively, for the year ended
  January 31, 1999.

  Kansas Fund                 116,955         1,223,080           10.46

  reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code. The net assets acquired,
  including unrealized appreciation at the date of the transaction were as
  follows:

municipalities.  The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific

such economic developments, at January 31, 1999, 86.3% of the securities
in the portfolio of investments are backed by bond insurance of various
financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies.  At
January 31, 1999, the Portfolio's insured securities by financial institution
are as follows:

The portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Hawaii
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by the economic developments in a specific industry
or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at January 31, 1999, 49.0% 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 1.1% to 24.7% of total investments.

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

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Kansas
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 January 31, 1999, 48.5% 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 ranged from 3.6% to 24.4% of total
investments.

(1) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin
    requirements on open financial futures contracts. 

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

    1995.

(2) The expense ratios for the year ended January 31, 1996 and periods
    thereafter have been adjusted to reflect a change in reporting requirements.
    The new reporting guidelines require the Portfolios to increase their
    expense ratios by the effect of any expense offset arrangements with their
    service providers. The expense ratios for each of the prior periods have not
    been adjusted to reflect this change.

(3) Annualized.

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 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 for the Hawaii Portfolio and
  October 25, 1993 for the Florida Insured Portfolio and the Kansas Portfolio.
  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
  financial 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 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 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 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 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, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of
  cost of the option. When a Portfolio enters into a closing sales 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.

  G 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D


  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.

  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 reflected as
  a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.

  I 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.

  J 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, 1999, each Portfolio incurred advisory fees as
  follows:

   Portfolio                                   Amount       Effective Rate*
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Florida Insured                              $48,856            0.19%
   Hawaii                                        30,797            0.16%
   Kansas                                        18,618            0.15%

    * As a percentage of average daily net assets.

  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
  $28,821, $30,797 and $18,618, respectively, and $3,403, $17,604 and $17,654,
  respectively, of expenses related to the operation of the Portfolios were
  allocated to BMR. Except as to Trustees of the Portfolio 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 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, 1999, no significant amounts have been deferred.

3 Investments
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Purchases and sales of investments, other than U.S. Government securities, put
  option transactions and short-term obligations, for the year ended January 31,
  1999 were as follows:

    Florida Insured Portfolio
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, 1999, as computed on a
  federal income tax basis, are as follows:


     Florida Insured Portfolio
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Aggregate Cost                                        $    26,336,636

    Net unrealized appreciation                            $       645,158
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 Line of Credit
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
  EVM and its affiliates in a $130 million 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 January 31, 1999, the Hawaii Portfolio had a
  balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $30,000. The Portfolios
  did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year
  ended January 31, 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.

  A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at January 31,
  1999, is as follows:

                   Futures
                   Contracts                                                
                   Expiration                                    Net Unrealized
   Portfolio       Date              Contracts        Position   Depreciation
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Kansas          3/99        1 U.S. Treasury Bond     Short            $787
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  At January 31, 1999, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to
  cover margin requirements on open futures contracts.

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 portfolios of investments, of Florida Insured Municipals Portfolio, Hawaii
Municipals Portfolio and Kansas Municipals Portfolio as of January 31, 1999, the
related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for the years ended January 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
supplementary data for each of the four years in the period ended January 31,
1999 and for 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 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
January 31, 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 Florida Insured Municipals
Portfolio, Hawaii Municipals Portfolio and Kansas Municipals Portfolio at
January 31, 1999, and 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.
