    Eaton Vance Limited Maturity Municipal Income Funds as of March 31, 2010

    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

    Economic and Market Conditions

    During the year ending March 31, 2010, the U.S. economy and the capital markets remained relatively stable, despite continued high unemployment and concerns over the U.S. budget. After contracting slightly in the second quarter of 2009, the U.S. economy grew at annualized rates of 2.2% and 5.7% in the third and fourth quarters of 2009, respectively, and an estimated 3.2% in the first quarter of 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

    During the 12-month period, the municipal bond market continued to post solid positive performance, driven by demand from investors seeking tax-free income. The Funds’ primary benchmark, the Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index)—an unmanaged index of intermediate-maturity municipal obligations—gained 6.49% for the period.1 The appetite for municipal bonds continued to be buoyed by provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 aimed at supporting the municipal market. The new Build America Bond program gave municipal issuers broader access to the taxable debt markets, providing the potential for lower net borrowing costs and reducing the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. The federal stimulus program also provided direct cash subsidies to municipalities that were facing record budget deficits. The result of these events was a rally in the latter half of 2009 for the sector as yields fell and prices rose across the yield curve. In the first three months of 2010, the market has been relatively unchanged.

    Management Discussion

    During the year ending March 31, 2010, the Funds’ Class A shares at net asset value outperformed the Index and their Lipper peer group averages.1 Management’s relative value approach worked well during this period, as bonds that we felt were oversold were acquired during the market’s low points and performed well when the market recovered. In addition, the Funds were diversified across the yield curve, providing exposure to longer-maturity bonds within the intermediate-maturity spectrum. These longer bonds outperformed as investors found short-term yields unacceptable and moved into the intermediate sector; as a result, the Funds’ exposure to these securities contributed to their outperformance. Finally, management’s investment down the credit spectrum and higher allocations to revenue bonds also contributed positively to the Funds’ relative performance.

    As we move ahead, we recognize that many state and local governments face significant budget deficits that are driven primarily by a steep decline in tax revenues. We will continue to monitor any new developments as state and local officials formulate solutions to address these fiscal problems. As in all environments, we maintain our long-term perspective on the markets against the backdrop of relatively short periods of market volatility. We will continue to actively manage the Funds with the same income-focused, relative value approach we have always employed. We believe that this approach, which is based on credit research and decades of experience in the municipal market, will serve municipal investors well over the long term.

    Effective December 1, 2009, each Fund changed its name from Eaton Vance [State] Limited Maturity Municipals Fund to Eaton Vance [State] Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund.

    1 It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total returns are the average total returns, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Funds.

    Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

    The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information provided in the report may not be representative of the Funds’ current or future investments and may change due to active management.

    Comparison of Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment in Eaton Vance California Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund Class B vs. Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*


    *Source: Lipper, Inc. Class B of the Fund commenced investment operations on 5/29/92.

    A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class A on 3/31/00 and Class C on 3/23/05 (commencement of operations), would have been valued at $15,042 ($14,709 at the maximum offering price) and $11,143, respectively, on 3/31/10. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.

    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. Bond values decline as interest rates rise. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

    1 Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 2.25% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 2.25% sales charge. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 3% - 1st year; 2.5% - 2nd year; 2% - 3rd year; 1% - 4th year. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. 2 Source: Prospectus dated 8/1/09. 3 The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) by the net asset value at the end of the period. 4 Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 41.86% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. 5 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. 6 It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. Index performance is available as of month end only. 7 The Lipper Averages are the average annual total returns, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. It is not possible to invest in a Lipper Classification. Lipper Classifications may include insured and uninsured funds, as well as leveraged and unleveraged funds. The Lipper California Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification contained 41, 39 and 24 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year time periods, respectively. Lipper Averages are available as of month end only.

    Comparison of Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment in Eaton Vance New York Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund Class B vs. Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*


    *Source: Lipper, Inc. Class B of the Fund commenced investment operations on 5/29/92.

    A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class A and Class C on 3/31/00 would have been valued at $15,059 ($14,721 at the maximum offering price) and $13,963, respectively, on 3/31/10. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.

    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. Bond values decline as interest rates rise. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

    1 Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 2.25% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 2.25% sales charge. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 3% - 1st year; 2.5% - 2nd year; 2% - 3rd year; 1% - 4th year. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. 2 Source: Prospectus dated 8/1/09. 3 The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) by the net asset value at the end of the period. 4 Taxable-equivalent figures assume a maximum 40.83% combined federal and state income tax rate. A lower tax rate would result in lower tax-equivalent figures. 5 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. 6 It is not possible to invest directly in an Index.

    FUN D EXP ENSES

    Example: As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2009 – March 31, 2010).

    Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

    Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

    Please note that the expenses shown in each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    1 Significant Accounting Policies

    Eaton Vance Investment Trust (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of seven funds, five of which, each non-diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance California Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance California Limited Maturity Municipals Fund) (California Limited Fund), Eaton Vance Massachusetts Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Limited Maturity Municipals Fund) (Massachusetts Limited Fund), Eaton Vance New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipals Fund) (New Jersey Limited Fund), Eaton Vance New York Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance New York Limited Maturity Municipals Fund) (New York Limited Fund) and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Municipals Fund) (Pennsylvania Limited Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds seek to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes, as applicable. The Funds also seek to provide limited principal fluctuation. The Funds offer three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class B shares of each Fund held for the longer of (i) four years or (ii) the time at which the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to such shares expires will automatically convert to Class A shares as described in each Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. 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’s 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.

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations

    (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on

    the basis of valuations furnished by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/ dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Interest rate swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such pricing service valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap curves provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of a Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

    B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

    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 substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income,

    54


    Eaton Vance Limited Maturity Municipal Income Funds as of March 31, 2010
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T ’D

     

    and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as 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.

    At March 31, 2010, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, 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 carryforwards are as follows:

    Fund Amount Expiration Date
    California Limited $ 46,725 March 31, 2011

      310,885 March 31, 2017
      975,763 March 31, 2018

     

    Additionally, at March 31, 2010, the Massachusetts Limited Fund, New Jersey Limited Fund and New York Limited Fund had net capital losses of $18,637, $4,298 and $24,509, respectively, attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2009. These net capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ taxable year ending March 31, 2011.

    As of March 31, 2010, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Funds’ federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended March 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

    D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.

    E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and

    Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.

    F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses

    incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.

    G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

    H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s

    organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust, (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s

    55


    Eaton Vance Limited Maturity Municipal Income Funds as of March 31, 2010
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T ’D

     

    Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.

    I Financial Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into financial futures contracts. The Funds’ investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.

    J When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities

    on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

    2 Distributions to Shareholders

    The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards, if any), are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.

    The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 was as follows:

      California Massachusetts New Jersey New York Pennsylvania
    Year Ended March 31, 2010 Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund
    Distributions declared from:          
    Tax-exempt income $ 875,622 $ 2,183,085 $ 1,723,028 $ 3,352,445 $ 2,104,966
    Ordinary income $ 22,932 $ — $ 5,060 $ 3,552 $ 6,125
     
      California Massachusetts New Jersey New York Pennsylvania
    Year Ended March 31, 2009 Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund
    Distributions declared from:          
    Tax-exempt income $ 1,236,067 $ 2,180,235 $ 1,581,063 $ 3,478,784 $ 1,972,680
    Ordinary income $ 133 $ — $ 17,462 $ 34,798 $ 2,066

     

    During the year ended March 31, 2010, the following amounts were reclassified due to the tax treatment of distributions in excess of net tax-exempt income, expired capital loss carryfowards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount:

    56


    Eaton Vance Limited Maturity Municipal Income Funds as of March 31, 2010    
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T ’D
     
     
      California Massachusetts New Jersey New York Pennsylvania
      Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund
    Increase (decrease):            
    Paid-in capital $ (21,801) $ — $ — $ — $ (65,607)
    Accumulated net realized gain (loss) $ 1,185 $ (10,040) $ 11,451 $ (8,402) $ 74,607
    Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income $ 20,616 $ 10,040 $ (11,451) $ 8,402 $ (9,000)

     

    These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.

    As of March 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:

      California Massachusetts New Jersey New York Pennsylvania
      Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund Limited Fund
    Undistributed tax-exempt income $ — $ 88,838 $ 66,771 $ 78,399 $ —
    Capital loss carryforward and post October losses $(2,266,721) $(4,305,444) $(2,059,268) $(5,971,595) $(2,932,148)
    Net unrealized appreciation $ 629,221 $ 3,353,195 $ 2,274,469 $ 3,281,351 $ 2,261,244
    Other temporary differences $ (41,811) $ (100,667) $ (78,678) $ (150,113) $ (102,851)

     

    The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to futures contracts, accretion of market discount and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.

    3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

    The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. 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) and is payable monthly. The annual asset rate and daily income rate are 0.30% and 3.00%, respectively, on average daily net assets of up to $500 million and at reduced rates as daily net assets exceed that level.

    For the year ended March 31, 2010, investment adviser fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:

      Investment Effective
    Fund Adviser Fee Annual Rate
    California Limited $107,458 0.45%
    Massachusetts Limited 272,065 0.42
    New Jersey Limited 212,332 0.43
    New York Limited 425,115 0.44
    Pennsylvania Limited 256,304 0.43

     

    EVM serves as administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of each Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received distribution

    and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5). Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the year ended March 31, 2010 were as follows:

      EVM’s Sub-  
      Transfer Agent EVD’s Class A
    Fund Fees Sales Charges
    California Limited $ 456 $ 7,343
    Massachusetts Limited 1,591 7,200
    New Jersey Limited 1,020 5,599
    New York Limited 2,104 5,739
    Pennsylvania Limited 1,401 11,925

     

    Except for Trustees of the Funds who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Funds who 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 March 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.

    4 Distribution Plans

    Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that each Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and

    57


    Eaton Vance Limited Maturity Municipal Income Funds as of March 31, 2010
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CON T ’D

     

    facilities provided to each Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended March 31, 2010 for Class A shares amounted to the following:

      Class A
      Distribution and
    Fund Service Fees
    California Limited $ 32,606
    Massachusetts Limited 74,558
    New Jersey Limited 70,466
    New York Limited 103,686
    Pennsylvania Limited 64,063

     

    Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require each Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Funds. Each 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) 3% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by each Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, 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 of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class B and Class C shares:

      Class B Class C
      Distribution Distribution
    Fund Fees Fees
    California Limited $ 3,802 $ 12,973
    Massachusetts Limited 4,798 104,029
    New Jersey Limited 5,251 14,491
    New York Limited 13,532 190,938
    Pennsylvania Limited 4,073 118,831

     

    At March 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately as follows:

    Fund Class B Class C
    California Limited $564,000 $ 185,000
    Massachusetts Limited 587,000 5,270,000
    New Jersey Limited 589,000 196,000
    New York Limited 897,000 6,757,000
    Pennsylvania Limited 395,000 6,576,000

     

    The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to that class. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the Class B and Class C sales commissions and distribution fees and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended March 31, 2010 amounted to the following:

      Class B Class C
    Fund Service Fees Service Fees
    California Limited $ 760 $ 2,595
    Massachusetts Limited 960 20,805
    New Jersey Limited 1,050 2,898
    New York Limited 2,706 38,188
    Pennsylvania Limited 814 23,767

     

    5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

    A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within four years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances 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 for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 3% in the case of redemptions in the first year after purchase, declining half a percentage point in the second and third year and one percentage point in the fourth year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on

    58


    Eaton Vance Limited Maturity Municipal Income Funds as of March 31, 2010

    9 Line of Credit

    The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each 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. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At March 31, 2010, the Massachusetts Limited Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $100,000 at an interest rate of 1.41%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its

    fair value at March 31, 2010. The Funds’ average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended March 31, 2010 were not significant.

    10 Financial Instruments

    The Funds may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial 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 Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do 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 March 31, 2010 is as follows:

    Futures Contracts          
                Net
                Unrealized
      Expiration     Aggregate   Appreciation

    Limited   U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note Short $(10,883,109) $(10,927,501) $(44,392)
      6/10 38        
        U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond Short (4,421,180) (4,412,750) 8,430
    Pennsylvania 6/10 40        
    Limited   U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note Short $ (4,631,110) $ (4,650,000) $(18,890)
      6/10 29        
        U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond Short (3,375,906) (3,367,625) 8,281

     

    At March 31, 2010, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

    Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Funds hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Funds may purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

    11 Fair Value Measurements

    Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

    • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

    • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

    • Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

    The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

    At March 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

    We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance California Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance California Limited Maturity Municipals Fund), Eaton Vance Massachusetts Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance Massachusetts Limited Maturity Municipals Fund), Eaton Vance New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipals Fund), Eaton Vance New York Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance New York Limited Maturity Municipals Fund), and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Municipals Fund) (collectively, the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Investment Trust), including the portfolios of investments, as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and

    brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Eaton Vance California Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New York Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund, and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund as of March 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

    Overview of the Contract Review Process

    The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.

    At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 27, 2009, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board (formerly the Special Committee), which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held in February, March and April 2009. Such information included, among other things, the following:

    Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses

    • An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;

    • An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;

    • An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;

    • Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;

    • Comparative information concerning fees charged by each adviser for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the fund;

    • Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund;

    Information about Portfolio Management

    • Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel;

    • Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds;

    • Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;

    • The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;

    Information about each Adviser

    • Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser;

    • Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;

    • Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes;

    • Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures;

    • Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions;

    • Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates;

    Other Relevant Information

    • Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates;

    • Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds’ administrator; and

    • The terms of each advisory agreement.

    BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT’D

    In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2009, the Board met eighteen times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met seven, five, six, six and six times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective.

    For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.

    The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.

    Results of the Process

    Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreements of the following funds:

    • Eaton Vance California Limited Maturity Municipals Fund

    • Eaton Vance Massachusetts Limited Maturity Municipals Fund

    • Eaton Vance New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipals Fund

    • Eaton Vance New York Limited Maturity Municipals Fund

    • Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Limited Maturity Municipals Fund

    (the “Funds”), each with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund.

    Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

    In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Funds, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

    The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Funds, and recent changes in the identity of such personnel. In particular, the Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to investing in municipal bonds. Specifically, the Board considered the Adviser’s large municipal bond team, which includes portfolio managers and credit specialists who provide services to the Funds. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Fund by senior management.

    The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

    68


    Eaton Vance Limited Maturity Municipal Income Funds

    BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT’D

    The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

    The Board considered the Adviser’s recommendations for Board action and other steps taken in response to the unprecedented dislocations experienced in the capital markets over recent periods, including sustained periods of high volatility, credit disruption and government intervention. In particular, the Board considered the Adviser’s efforts and expertise with respect to each of the following matters as they relate to the Funds and/or other funds within the Eaton Vance family of funds: (i) negotiating and maintaining the availability of bank loan facilities and other sources of credit used for investment purposes or to satisfy liquidity needs; (ii) establishing the fair value of securities and other instruments held in investment portfolios during periods of market volatility and issuer-specific disruptions; and (iii) the ongoing monitoring of investment management processes and risk controls.

    After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective investment advisory agreement.

    Fund Performance

    The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2008 for each Fund. The Board considered the impact of extraordinary market conditions during 2008 on each Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe in light of, among other things, the Adviser’s strategy of generating current income through investments in higher quality (including insured) municipal bonds with longer maturities. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory.

    Management Fees and Expenses

    The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by each Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered each Fund’s management fees and total expense ratio for the one year period ended September 30, 2008, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider.

    After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the management fees charged for advisory and related services and the Fund’s total expense ratio are reasonable.

    Profitability

    The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to each Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their relationship with the Funds.

    The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.

    Economies of Scale

    In reviewing management fees and profitability of each Fund, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and each Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of each Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of each Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and each Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of each Fund, the structure of each advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.
