AMT - Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax preference
item for purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by 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 July 31, 1999, 44.9% 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 2.3% to 23.0% of total investments.

(1)  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 Portfolio to
     increase its expense ratio by the effect of any expense offset arrangements
     with its service providers. The expense ratios for the prior period have
     not been adjusted to reflect this change.
(3)  Annualized.

EATON VANCE MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIOS AS OF JULY 31, 1999

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONT'D

 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.

 K Interim Financial Statements -- The interim financial statements relating to
   July 31, 1999 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by
   independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the
   Portfolios' management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair
   presentation of the financial statements.

2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
- -------------------------------------------
   The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR),
   a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation
   for management and investment advisory services rendered to 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 six months ended July 31, 1999, each Portfolio incurred
   advisory fees as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S>                                       <C>        <C>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Florida Insured                           $ 28,063         0.19%
Hawaii                                      15,340         0.15%
Kansas                                      10,028         0.15%
</TABLE>

*    As a percentage of average daily net assets.

   To enhance the net income of the Hawaii Portfolio and Kansas Portfolio, BMR
   made a reduction of its fee in the amount of $15,340 and $10,028,
   respectively, and $24,254 and $21,308, 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 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 six months ended July 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 six months ended

- ------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

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. The Portfolios did not have any significant
   borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended July 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.

   At July 31, 1999, there were no outstanding obligations under these financial
   instruments.
