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 Arkansas
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 August 31, 2000, 20.6% 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 1.2% to 10.3% of
total investments.
(1) Security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------------------
Alabama Municipals Portfolio (Alabama Portfolio), Arkansas Municipals
Portfolio (Arkansas Portfolio), Georgia Municipals Portfolio (Georgia
Portfolio), Kentucky Municipals Portfolio (Kentucky Portfolio), Louisiana
Municipals Portfolio (Louisiana Portfolio), Maryland Municipals Portfolio
(Maryland Portfolio), Missouri Municipals Portfolio (Missouri Portfolio),
North Carolina Municipals Portfolio (North Carolina Portfolio), Oregon
Municipals Portfolio (Oregon Portfolio), South Carolina Municipals Portfolio
(South Carolina Portfolio), Tennessee Municipals Portfolio (Tennessee
Portfolio) and Virginia Municipals Portfolio (Virginia Portfolio),
collectively the Portfolios, are registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, as diversified open-end management investment companies.
The Portfolios, which were organized as trusts under the laws of the State of
New York on May 1, 1992, seek to achieve current income exempt from regular
federal income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes.
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. Financial 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 accretion of discount when required
for Federal income tax purposes.
C Federal 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 Financial Futures Contracts -- Upon the entering of a financial futures
contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit (initial margin) either in cash
or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price
indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or
received by a Portfolio (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for
book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Portfolio. A Portfolio's
investment in financial futures contracts is designed for both hedging
against anticipated future changes in interest rates and investment purposes.
Should interest rates move unexpectedly, a Portfolio may not achieve the
anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a
loss.
E Options on Financial Futures Contracts -- Upon the purchase of a put option
on a financial futures contract by a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded
as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a
purchased option expires, a Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of
the cost of the option. When a Portfolio enters into a closing sale
transaction, a Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the
sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the
cost of the option. When a Portfolio exercises a put option, settlement is
made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing put options is limited to
the premium originally paid.
F When-issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions -- The Portfolios may engage in
when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Portfolios record
when-issued securities on trade date and maintain security positions such
that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments for the
securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on
settlement date.
107
<PAGE>
EATON VANCE MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIOS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2000
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
G Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification
of the securities sold.
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 total expenses in the Statement of Operations.
I Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
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 August 31, 2000, the Portfolios paid advisory
fees as follows:

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.
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 August 31, 2000, no significant amounts have been
deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers of the above
organizations.

5 Line of Credit
-------------------------------------------
The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM and its affiliates in a $150 million unsecured line of credit agreement
with a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the Portfolios solely to
facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash
requirements. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio or fund
based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or
Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on
the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the
participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. At August 31,
2000, the Alabama Municipals Portfolio, Kentucky Municipals Portfolio, and
Oregon Municipals Portfolio had balances outstanding pursuant to this line of
credit of $400,000, $100,000 and $100,000 (respectively). The Portfolios did
not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended
August 31, 2000.
6 Financial Instruments
-------------------------------------------
The Portfolios regularly trade in financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities to assist in
managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments
include futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of
risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the
investment a Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and
does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The
measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only
when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at August 31,
2000, is as follows:

---------------------------------------------
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Alabama Municipals Portfolio, Arkansas
Municipals Portfolio, Georgia Municipals Portfolio, Kentucky Municipals
Portfolio, Louisiana Municipals Portfolio, Maryland Municipals Portfolio,
Missouri Municipals Portfolio, North Carolina Municipals Portfolio, Oregon
Municipals Portfolio, South Carolina Municipals Portfolio, Tennessee Municipals
Portfolio and Virginia Municipals Portfolio (the Portfolios) as of August 31,
2000, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the years ended August 31, 2000 and 1999
and supplementary data for each of the years in the five year period ended
August 31, 2000. These financial statements and supplementary data are the
responsibility of the Trusts' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned at August 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other audit
procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and supplementary data present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned
Portfolios at August 31, 2000, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and their supplementary data for the respective stated periods
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
