(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
AMT - Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax preference item for 
      purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

The Portfolio primarily invests in debt securities issued by Hawaii 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, 1996, 43.7% of the securities in the 
portfolio of investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and 
financial guaranty assurance agencies.  The percentage by financial institution ranged from 
0.7% to 19.4% of total investments.

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 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 
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, 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. Options on Financial Futures Contracts - Upon the purchase of a 
put option on a financial futures contract by a Portfolio, the 
premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is 
marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires, a Portfolio 
will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When a 
Portfolio enters into a closing sales transaction, the Portfolio 
will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds 
from the closing sales transaction is 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 and delayed delivery transactions. The 
Portfolios record when-issued securities on trade date and maintain 
security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be 
available to make payments for the securities purchased. Securities 
purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-
market daily and begin 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 reported as a reduction of 
expenses in the statements 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 Information - The interim financial statements 
relating to July 31, 1996 and for the six month period then ended 
have not been audited by independent certified public accountants, 
but in the opinion of the Portfolio's management, reflect all 
adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring 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, 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 and 
amounted to $18,958, $12,123 and $9,288 respectively. To enhance the 
net income of the Florida Insured Portfolio, Hawaii Portfolio and 
Kansas Portfolio, BMR made a preliminary reduction of its fee in the 
amount of $18,958, $12,123 and $9,288, respectively, and $22,937, 
$27,897 and $19,494, respectively, of expenses related to the 
operation of the Portfolios were allocated, on a preliminary basis, 
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. 

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 six months ended July 31, 1996, 
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 July 31, 1996 were as follows:

</TABLE>



(5) Line of Credit

The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed 
by BMR 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 is allocated 
among the participating funds and portfolios at the end of each 
quarter. At July 31, 1996, the Kansas Portfolio had a balance 
outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $189,000. The Florida 
Insured Portfolio, Hawaii Portfolio and the Kansas Portfolio did not 
have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six 
months ended July 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 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.

31, 1996 is as follows:
