Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of December 31, 1998

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 


1  Significant Accounting Policies
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the
   Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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 on December 1, 1995, seeks to provide
   long-term after-tax returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity
   securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests
   in the Portfolio. The following is a summary of significant accounting
   policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its
   financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles.

   A Investment Valuations -- Marketable securities, including options, that are
   listed on foreign or U.S. securities exchanges or in the NASDAQ National
   Market System are valued at closing sale prices, on the exchange where such
   securities are principally traded. Futures positions on securities or
   currencies are generally valued at closing settlement prices. Unlisted or
   listed securities for which closing sale prices are not available are
   generally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Short-
   term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued
   at amortized cost, which approximates value. Other fixed income and debt
   securities, including listed securities and securities for which price
   quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of valuations
   furnished by a pricing service. Over-the-counter options are normally valued
   at the mean between the latest bid and asked price. Investments for which
   valuations or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value
   using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the
   Trustees.

   B Income Taxes -- The Portfolio is 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 such
   income. 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 investment income, net realized capital gains, and any other
   items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.

   C Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by the Portfolio in
   connection with its organization, are being amortized on the straight-line
   basis over five years.

   D Futures Contracts -- Upon the entering of a financial futures contract,   
   the Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount  
   ("initial margin") 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  
   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 to    
   hedge against anticipated future changes in price of current or anticipated  
   portfolio positions. Should prices move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not  
   achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may  
   realize a loss.                                                              

   E Put Options -- Upon the purchase of a put option by the Portfolio, the    
   premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is            
   marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires, the Portfolio will  
   realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When 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. When the       
   Portfolio exercises a put option, settlement is made in cash. The risk      
   associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally     
   paid.                                                                        

   F Securities Sold Short -- The Portfolio may sell securities it does not    
   own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities or   
   in order to hedge portfolio positions. The Portfolio will generally borrow  
   the security sold in order to make delivery to the buyer. Upon executing    
   the transaction, the Portfolio records the proceeds as deposits with        
   brokers in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and establishes an       
   offsetting payable for securities sold short for the securities due on      
   settlement. The proceeds are retained by the broker as collateral for the   
   short position. The liability is marked to market and the Portfolio is      
   required to pay the lending broker any dividend or interest income earned   
   while the short position is open. A gain or loss is recorded when the       
   security is delivered to the broker. The Portfolio may recognize a loss

   on the transaction if the market value of the securities sold increases     
   before the securities are delivered.                                        
                                                                               
   G Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the        
   investments are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the       
   ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  
                                                                               
   H Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity  
   with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make   
   estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and    
   liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported        
   amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results  
   could differ from those estimates.                                          
                                                                               
2  Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates               
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------  
   The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research      
   (BMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as        
   compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to    
   the Portfolio. Under the advisory agreement, BMR receives a monthly         
   advisory fee of 5/96 of 1% (0.625% annually) of the average daily net       
   assets of the Portfolio up to $500,000,000, and at reduced rates as daily   
   net assets exceed that level. For the period ended December 31, 1998, the   
   adviser fee was 0.46% (annualized) of the Portfolio's average net assets.   
   For the year ended October 31, 1998, the adviser fee was 0.47% of the       
   Portfolio's average net assets. Except for 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 period ended December 31, 1998  
   and the year ended October 31, 1998, no significant amounts have been       
   deferred. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are         
   officers or directors/trustees of the above organizations.

   written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and financial  
   futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in

   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.                                                                 
                                                                               
   The Portfolio did not have any open obligations under these financial       
   instruments at December 31, 1998.                                           
                                                                               
6  Line of Credit                                                              
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR   
   and EVM and its affiliates in a $130 million unsecured line of credit       
   agreement with a group of banks. The Portfolio may temporarily borrow from  
   the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment      
   transactions. Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund based on its    
   borrowings at 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 two-month period ended December 31, 1998 nor   
   during the year ended October 31, 1998.

   Effective November 1, 1998, the Portfolio changed its fiscal year-end to    
   December 31.

Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of December 31, 1998

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustees and  Investors
of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) as
of December 31, 1998, the related statements of operations for the two-month
period ended December 31, 1998 and for the year ended October 31, 1998, the
statements of changes in net assets for the two-month period ended December 31,
1998 and for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 1998,
and the supplementary data for the two-months ended December 31, 1998 and for
each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 1998 and for the
period from the start of business, December 1, 1995 to October 31, 1996. These
financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the
Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary
data are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and supplementary data referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Portfolio as of December 31, 1998, the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets and its supplementary data for the respective stated periods in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
