EUR - Euro Dollar PIK - Payment In Kind. (1) Senior floating-rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the senior floating-rate interests will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. (2) Interest rates are periodically predetermined by a reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks or (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). (3) Defaulted security. (4) Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. (5) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. (6) Non-income producing security. (7) Restricted security.

(1) The Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began using the interest method to amortize premiums on fixed-income securities. The effect of this change for the year ended October 31, 2002 was to decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 10.59% to 10.38%. Ratios for the periods prior to November 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. (2) For the seven-month period ended October 31, 2000. (3) Annualized. (4) Total return is required to be disclosed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. See notes to financial statements 22 HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO as of April 30, 2004 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES High Income Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on May 1, 1992. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At April 30, 2004 Eaton Vance High Income Fund, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate High Income Fund and Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund held an approximate 75.8%, 12.5% and 5.6% 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 VALUATIONS -- Investments listed on securities exchanges are valued at closing sale prices. Investments listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Listed or unlisted investments for which closing sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations), including listed investments and investments for which price quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations furnished by a pricing service. Financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Portfolio also invests in interests in senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans). The Portfolio's investment adviser, Boston Management and Research (BMR) a wholly owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), has characterized certain Senior Loans as liquid based on a predetermined acceptable number and range of market quotations available. Such loans are valued on the basis of market valuations furnished by a pricing service. Investments for which there are no quotations or valuations are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by BMR under procedures established by the Trustees as permitted by section 2(a)(41). B INCOME -- Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. C INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for United States 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. Since some of the Portfolio's investors are regulated investment companies that invest all or substantially all of their 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 taxable investment income, net realized capital gains, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit. D FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS -- Upon the entering of a financial futures contract, the 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 the 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 the Portfolio. 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. E FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Realized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed. F FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS -- The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the 23 potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Portfolio will enter into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. 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 amount of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H 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. I 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. J INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- The interim financial statements relating to April 30, 2004 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by independent certified public accountants, 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. 2 INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The investment adviser fee is earned by BMR, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVM, as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities). For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the fee was equivalent to 0.56% (annualized) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets and amounted to $3,414,051. 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. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations. Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, no significant amounts have been deferred. 3 INVESTMENTS The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry. Purchases and sales of investments, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term obligations, aggregated $474,906,183 and $456,090,087, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2004. 4 LINE OF CREDIT 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 or allocated fees during the six months ended April 30, 2004. 24 5 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Portfolio regularly trades 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, forward foreign currency contracts 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, 2004 is as follows: Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts SALES
NET SETTLEMENT IN EXCHANGE FOR UNREALIZED DATE(S) DELIVER (IN U.S. DOLLARS) DEPRECIATION ------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/28/04 Euro Dollar 7,819,833 $ 9,253,208 $ (114,702) ------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 9,253,208 $ (114,702) -------------------------------------------------------------------
At April 30, 2004, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any margin requirements under these contracts. 6 FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investments owned at April 30, 2004 as computed on a federal income tax basis, were as follows: AGGREGATE COST $ 1,142,210,373 ------------------------------------------------------- Gross unrealized appreciation $ 89,816,426 Gross unrealized depreciation (26,193,546) ------------------------------------------------------- NET UNREALIZED APPRECIATION $ 63,622,880 -------------------------------------------------------
7 RESTRICTED SECURITIES At April 30, 2004, the Portfolio owned the following securities (representing less than 0.1% of net assets) which were restricted as to public resale and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (excluding Rule 144A securities). The Portfolio has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities. The fair value of these securities is determined based on valuations provided by brokers when available, or if not available, they are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
