Eaton Vance Advisers Senior Floating-Rate Fund as of June 30, 1999

INVESTMENT UPDATE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment Environment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  THE LOAN MARKET
o The volume of leveraged loan issuance continued to grow in the first half of
  1999, rising to $147 billion through June 30. Following the difficulties in
  the corporate bond market in the fourth quarter of 1998, many more companies
  have turned to senior floating-rate loans as a financing alternative.
  Concurrently, investor demand for this relatively stable asset class has
  remained strong.

o In late June, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate - a key
  short-term interest rate barometer - by 25 basis points (.25%). That move was
  immediately reflected in the LIBOR rate, the benchmark upon which
  floating-rate loan interest rates are based.

o Once again, the reset feature of senior floating-rate loans distinguished them
  from fixed-income vehicles. The quick response to the rate hike enabled loan
  investors to benefit from a trend - rising interest rates - that had a
  negative impact on most asset classes.

The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  PERFORMANCE FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS
o The Fund distributed $0.319 in income dividends during the six months ended
  June 30, 1999. Based on a $9.97 net asset value on June 30, 1999, the Fund had
  a distribution rate of 6.45%.(1) The Fund's SEC 30-day yield at June 30 was
  6.44%.(2)

o The Fund had a six-month total return of 3.03%, which continued to protect
  shareholders' purchasing power. By most measures, inflation advanced at an
  annualized rate of 1.3% in the first half of 1999.

  THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENTS
o Industry diversification remained a major emphasis of the Portfolio. By June
  30, the number of industries in the Portfolio had increased to 64. The average
  loan as a percentage of the Portfolio's total net assets had declined to
  0.27%. That is significant because a decline in the average loan size lessens
  the potential impact on the Portfolio of an adverse development for a single
  borrower.

o Broadcast media represented the Portfolio's largest industry sector at June
  30. Capstar Radio Broadcast-ing is a major, nationwide owner of radio stations
  and was recently purchased by Chancellor Media Corp. The Telecommunications
  Act of 1996 enabled companies to own multiple radio properties in a single
  market. That has helped large radio companies build market share while
  realizing excellent econo-mies of scale. The combined company will own 463
  stations in 105 markets.

o Cable television companies remained a large focus of the Portfolio. Charter
  Communications LLC, which is owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, has
  established itself as one of the nation's premier cable operators. Charter has
  continued an aggressive acquisition strategy that included the recent purchase
  of another Portfolio holding, Michigan-based Avalon Cable Holdings, Inc.

o The Portfolio maintained a selective exposure to industrial and cyclical
  companies, such as National Gypsum Company, a leading manufacturer of
  wallboard, and Jefferson Smurfit Corp., a major producer of paperboard and
  containers. The Portfolio preferred low-cost operators that can fare well even
  as the global economy struggles to recover. An improving global outlook should
  lift the prospects of U.S. companies in the chemical, paper, and basic
  industry areas.

(1)The Fund's distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to
shareholders and is calculated daily by dividing the last distribution per share
(annualized) by the offering price. (2)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. (3)Returns
are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net
asset value with all distributions reinvested. (4)Sector weightings are subject
to change due to active management. Five largest sector weightings account for
27.2% of the Portfolio's investments, determined by dividing the total market
value of the holdings by the total net assets of the Portfolio.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when repurchased, may be worth
more or less than their original cost.

Eaton Vance Advisers Senior Floating-Rate Fund AS OF JUNE 30, 1999

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Eaton Vance Advisers Senior Floating-Rate Fund (the Fund) was formed under a
  Declaration of Trust dated February 19, 1998. The Fund is an entity of the
  type commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered
  under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified
  closed-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of its
  investable assets in interests in the Senior Debt Portfolio (the Portfolio),
  a New York Trust, having the same investment objective as the Fund. The
  value of the Fund's investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's
  proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (1.8% at June 30,
  1999). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance
  of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the
  portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should
  be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. The following
  is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
  Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in
  conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  A Investment Valuation -- Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is
  discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which
  are included elsewhere in this report.

  B Income -- The Fund's net investment income consists of the Fund's pro rata
  share of the net investment income of the Portfolio, less all actual and
  accrued expenses of the Fund determined in accordance with generally
  accepted accounting principles.

  C Federal Taxes -- The 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 all of its taxable income, including
  any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal
  income or excise tax is necessary.

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

  F 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
  differ from those estimates.

  G Interim Financial Statements -- The interim financial statements relating
  to June 30, 1999 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by
  independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Fund's
  management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
  adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial
  statements.

2 Distributions to Shareholders
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily, and substantially
  all of the net investment income so determined is declared daily as a
  dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Such daily
  dividends will be paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains, if
  any, are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest capital gain
  distributions in additional shares of the Fund at the net asset value as of
  the ex-dividend date. Distributions are paid in the form of additional
  shares or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash. The Fund
  distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting
  basis. Generally accepted accounting principles require that only
  distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the
  financial statements as a return of capital. Differences in the recognition
  or classification of income between the financial statements and tax
  earnings and profits which result in over-distributions for financial
  statement purposes only are classified as distributions in excess of net
  investment income or accumulated net realized gains. Permanent differences
  between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified
  to paid-in capital.

3 Shares of Beneficial Interest
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number
  of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).
  The Fund operates as an interval fund, meaning that it continuously accepts
  new shareholder investments but permits share repurchases at net asset value
  only once a quarter. The price will be established at the close of business
  on the last day the repurchase offer is open. The Trustees approved
  repurchase offers for the period from January 4, 1999 to January 25, 1999,
  March 17, 1999 to April 7, 1999 and July 1, 1999 to July 22, 1999.

  Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  (1)For the period from the start of business, March 20, 1998, to December
     31, 1998.

4 Transactions with Affiliates
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Fund is authorized to pay Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation
  for administrative services necessary to conduct the Fund's business. The
  fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily gross
  assets of the Portfolio attributable to the Fund. Prior to May 1, 1999, the
  amount of administration fees paid by the Fund to EVM was equal to 0.15%
  (annually) of the average daily gross assets of the portfolio attributable
  to the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the fee amounted to
  $115,448. To enhance the net income of the Fund, $50,234 of the Fund's
  expenses were allocated, on a preliminary basis, to EVM for the six months
  ended June 30, 1999. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and
  Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services.
  See Note 2 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are
  included elsewhere in this report. Except as to Trustees of the Fund and the
  Portfolio who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and
  Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of such
  investment adviser fee.

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

5 Service Plan
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Effective May 1, 1999, the Fund pays service fees pursuant to a Service Plan
  (the Plan) designed to meet the service fee requirements of the sales charge
  rule of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. as if such rule
  were applicable. The Plan provides that the Fund may make service fee
  payments to the Principal Underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD),
  a subsidiary of EVM, investment dealers or other persons in amounts not
  exceeding 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets for any fiscal year.
  The Fund paid or accrued service fees to or payable to EVD for the period
  from May 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999 in the amount of $54,474. Service fee
  payments are made for personal services and/or the maintenance of
  shareholder accounts. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers
  or directors of EVD.

6 Investment Transactions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio for the
  six months ended June 30, 1999 aggregated $106,752,311 and $15,782,975,
  respectively.

  * Non-income producing security.
(1) Senior secured floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow 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 secured floating rate interests will have an expected average
    life of approximately three years.

Note: At June 30, 1999, the Portfolio had unfunded commitments amounting to
$129,878,816 under various revolving credit agreements.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Senior Debt Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment
  Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, continuously offered, closed-end
  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. 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 -- The Portfolio's investments in interests in senior
  secured floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) are valued at fair value by the
  Portfolio's investment adviser, Boston Management and Research (BMR), under
  procedures established by the Trustees as permitted by Section 2(a)(41) of
  the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such procedures include the
  consideration of relevant factors, data and information relating to fair
  value, including (i) the characteristics of and fundamental analytical data
  relating to the Senior Loan, including the cost, size, current interest
  rate, period until next interest rate reset, maturity and base lending rate
  of the Senior Loan, the terms and conditions of the loan and any related
  agreements and the position of the loan in the borrower's debt structure;
  (ii) the nature, adequacy and value of the collateral, including the
  Portfolio's rights, remedies and interests with respect to the collateral;
  (iii) the creditworthiness of the borrower, based on evaluations of its
  financial condition, financial statements and information about the
  borrower's business, cash flows, capital structure and future prospects;
  (iv) information relating to the market for the Senior Loan including price
  quotations for and trading in the Senior Loan and interests in similar loans
  and the market environment and investor attitudes towards the Senior Loan
  and interests in similar loans; (v) the reputation and financial condition
  of the agent bank and any intermediate participant in the loan; and (vi)
  general economic and market conditions affecting the fair value of the
  Senior Loan. Other portfolio securities (other than short-term obligations,
  but including listed issues) may be valued on the basis of prices furnished
  by one or more pricing services which determine prices for normal,
  institutional-size trading units of such securities using market
  information, transactions for comparable securities and various
  relationships between securities which are generally recognized by
  institutional traders. In certain circumstances, portfolio securities will
  be valued at the last sales price on the exchange that is the primary market
  for such securities, or the last quoted bid price for those securities for
  which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed
  securities in which there were no sales during the day. The value of
  interest rate swaps will be determined in accordance with a discounted
  present value formula and then confirmed by obtaining a bank quotation.
  Short-term obligations which mature in sixty days or less are valued at
  amortized cost, if their original term to maturity when acquired by the
  Portfolio was 60 days or less or are valued at amortized cost using their
  value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity
  when acquired by the Portfolio was more then 60 days, unless in each case
  this is determined not to represent fair value. Repurchase agreements are
  valued at cost plus accrued interest. Other portfolio securities for which
  there are no quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined
  in good faith by or on behalf of the Trustees.

  B Income -- Interest income from Senior Loans is recorded on the accrual
  basis at the then-current interest rate, while all other interest income is
  determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of
  premium or discount when required for federal income tax purposes. Facility
  fees received are recognized as income over the expected term of the loan.

  C 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. 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.

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

  E Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

  F 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 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 advisory fee is paid to BMR as compensation for investment
  advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is computed at a
  monthly rate of 19/240 of 1% (0.95% annually) of the Portfolio's average
  daily gross assets up to and including $1 billion and at reduced rates as
  daily gross assets exceed that level. Effective May 1, 1999, the Trustees of
  the Portfolio voted to accept a waiver of BMR's compensation so that the
  aggregate advisory fees paid by the Portfolio under the advisory agreement
  during any fiscal year will not exceed on an annual basis 0.50% of average
  daily gross assets of the Portfolio up to and including $1 billion and at
  reduced rates as daily gross assets exceed that level. For the six months
  ended June 30, 1999, the effective annual rate, based on average daily gross
  assets, was 0.70% and amounted to $26,016,073. Except as to Trustees of the
  Portfolio who are not members of 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 BMR. 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 June 30, 1999, no significant amounts have been
  deferred.

3 Investments
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Portfolio invests primarily in Senior Loans. The ability of the issuers
  of the Senior Loans to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
  developments in a specific industry. The cost of purchases and the proceeds
  from principal repayments and sales of Senior Loans for the six months ended
  June 30, 1999 aggregated $2,880,179,192 and $1,351,107,192, respectively.

4 Short-Term Debt and Credit Agreements
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  On March 13, 1998, the Portfolio entered a $400 million unsecured line of
  credit with a group of banks to permit the Portfolio to invest in accordance
  with its investment practices. Interest is charged under the credit
  agreement at the bank's base rate or at an amount above LIBOR. Interest
  expense includes a commitment fee of approximately $172,000 which is
  computed at the annual rate of 0.10% of the credit agreement. There were no
  significant borrowings under this agreement during the six months ended June
  30, 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding.

5 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The cost and unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the value of the
  investments owned at June 30, 1999, as computed on a federal income tax
  basis, were as follows:

  Aggregate cost                                            $ 8,153,711,988
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Gross unrealized appreciation                             $     6,051,803
  Gross unrealized depreciation                                 (14,838,516)
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Net unrealized depreciation                               $    (8,786,713)
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Trustees and Investors
of Senior Debt Portfolio:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of Senior Debt Portfolio (the
Portfolio) as of June 30, 1999, the related statements of operations and cash
flows for the period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for
the period ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998, and the
supplementary data for the period ended June 30, 1999, each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1998 and for the period from the
start of business, February 22, 1995, to December 31, 1995 (all expressed in
U.S. Dollars). 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities and Senior Loans owned at June 30, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and selling or agent banks; where replies
were not received from selling or agent banks, 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 present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Senior Debt
Portfolio as of June 30, 1999, and the results of its operations, its cash
flows, the changes in net assets and its supplemental data for the respective
stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1A, the financial statements include Senior Loans and
certain other securities held by the Portfolio valued at $7,508,087,998
(90.39% of net assets of the Portfolio), which values are fair values
determined by the Portfolio's investment adviser in the absence of actual
market values. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgment, as
the actual market value of  a particular Senior Loan or security can be
established only by negotiations between the parties in a sale transaction. We
have reviewed the procedures established by the Trustees and used by the
Portfolio's investment adviser in determining the fair values of such Senior
Loans and securities and have inspected underlying documentation, and in the
circumstances, we believe that the procedures are reasonable and the
documentation appropriate.
