⁽³⁾ Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

⁽⁴⁾ Affiliated investment company available to Eaton Vance portfolios and funds, which invests in high quality, U.S. Dollar denominated money market instruments. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of April 30, 2007.

⁽²⁾ The Portfolio adotped the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing market premium on fixed income securities. Additionally, the Portfolio reclassified net losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities that were previously included in realized gains/losses to interest income. The effect of these changes for the year ended December 31, 2001 was a decrease in the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 7.51% to 5.91%.

Government Obligations Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Portfolio, which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York in 1992, seeks to achieve a high current return by investing primarily in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued, backed or otherwise guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio. At April 30, 2007, the Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund and Eaton Vance Diversified Income Fund had a 78.2% and 18.5% interest in the Portfolio, respectively. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A Investment Valuation — Debt securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations and certain mortgage backed securities ("MBS")) normally are valued by independent pricing services. The pricing services consider various factors relating to bonds or loans and/or market transactions to determine market value. Most seasoned 30 year fixed-rate MBS are valued by the investment adviser's matrix pricing system. The matrix pricing system also considers various factors relating to bonds and market transactions to determine market value. Options are valued at last sale price on a U.S. exchange or board of trade or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the last bid and asked price. Financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Securities for which there is no such quotation or valuation are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. Short-term obligations having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, they will be valued by a pricing service. The Portfolio may invest in Cash Management Portfolio (Cash Management), an affiliated investment company managed by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Management values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

B Income — Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

C Federal Taxes — The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolio's investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investor's distributive share of the Portfolio's net investment income, net realized capital gains, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.

D Expense Reduction — Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian to the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.

E Written Options — Upon the writing of a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written in accordance with the Portfolio's policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Portfolio. The Portfolio, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities underlying the written option.

F Purchased Options — Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an

investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Portfolio's policies on investment valuations discussed above. If an option which the Portfolio has purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Portfolio enters into a closing sale 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. If a Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.

G Financial Futures Contracts — Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit an amount (initial margin) either in cash or securities equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying securities, and are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio.

If the Portfolio enters into a closing transaction, the Portfolio will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the financial futures contract to sell and the financial futures contract to buy. The Portfolio's investment in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.

H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

I 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.

J Indemnifications — Under the Portfolio'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 Portfolio. Interestholders in the Portfolio are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities and obligations of the Portfolio in the event that the Portfolio fails to satisfy such liabilities and obligations; provided, however, that, to the extent assets are available in the Portfolio, the Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, indemnify interestholders from and against any claim or liability to which such holder may become subject by reason of being or having been an interestholder in the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.

K Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to April 30, 2007 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Portfolio's management reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations and including paydowns, aggregated $47,885,521 and $74,303,486, respectively.

The investment adviser fee is earned by BMR, as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. Under its investment advisory agreement with the Portfolio, BMR receives a fee computed at the monthly rate of 0.0625% (0.75% per annum) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets up to $500 million. On net assets of $500 million or more, BMR has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fee as follows: 0.6875% annually on average daily net assets of $500 million but less than $1 billion; 0.6250% of average daily net assets of $1 billion but less than $1.5 billion; 0.5625% of average daily net assets of $1.5 billion but less than $2 billion; 0.5000% of average daily net assets of $2 billion but less than $2.5 billion; and 0.4375% of average daily net assets of $2.5 billion and over. These contractual

fee reductions cannot be terminated or decreased without the approval of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees and its shareholders and are intended to continue indefinitely. The portion of advisory fees payable by Cash Management on the Portfolio's investment of cash therein is credited against the Portfolio's advisory fee. For the six months ended April 30, 2007 the Portfolio's advisory fee totaled $2,595,462 of which $13,202 was allocated from Cash Management and $2,582,260 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Portfolio's advisory fee, including the portion allocated for Cash Management, was 0.73% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. 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 Portfolio out of such investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio 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 April 30, 2007, no significant amounts have been deferred.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

The Portfolio participates 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 Portfolio 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. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings during the six months ended April 30, 2007.

The Portfolio has established a securities lending agreement with brokers in which the Portfolio lends portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. Under the agreement, the Portfolio continues to earn interest on the securities loaned. Collateral received is generally cash, and the Portfolio invests the cash in accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies and receives any interest on the amount invested but it must also pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. The loan rebate fee paid by the Portfolio offsets a portion of the interest income received. There was no loan rebate for the six months ended April 30, 2007. In the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio is subject to potential loss if it is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolio bears risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on the loans. During the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no outstanding securities on loan.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investments owned at April 30, 2007, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options and 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 the 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 April 30, 2007 is as follows:

At April 30, 2007, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover margin requirements on any open futures contracts.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ("FIN 48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, ("FAS 157") "Fair Value Measurements". FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Portfolio's financial statement disclosures.

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 23, 2007, 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 Special Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Special Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Special Committee held in February, March and April 2007. Such information included, among other things, the following:

• 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;

• Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed;

• 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;

• 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;

• 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;

• 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

In addition to the information identified above, the Special 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, 2007, the Board met ten times and the Special Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met twelve, fourteen and eight 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 Special Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Special 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 Special Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.

Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Special Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of the Government Obligations Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), the portfolio in which the Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund (the "Fund") invests, with Boston Management and Research (the "Adviser"), including the fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Special Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Special Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.

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

The Board considered the Adviser's management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio, including recent changes to such personnel. The Board specifically noted the Adviser's experience in investing in mortgage-backed securities, including seasoned mortgage-backed securities. 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 the Portfolio by senior management.

The Board 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 National Association of Securities Dealers.

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.

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 investment advisory agreement.

The Board compared the 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, 2006 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.

The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund's total expense ratio for the one-year period ended September 30, 2006, 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 that the management fees charged for advisory and related services and the Fund's total expense ratio are reasonable.

The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolio 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 its relationship with the Fund.

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.

In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Portfolio 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 the 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 the 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 the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the 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.
