1 Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------------------
   Capital 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 February 28, 2000, seeks to achieve
   long-term growth of capital by investing in a portfolio consisting of common
   stocks. 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 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. Listed or unlisted securities for which
   closing sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between latest
   bid and asked prices. Short-term obligations and money market securities
   maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates
   value. Non-U.S. dollar denominated short-term obligations are valued at
   amortized cost as calculated in the base currency and translated to U.S.
   dollars at the current exchange rate. 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 -- Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued,
   adjusted for amortization of premium or discount when required for federal
   income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the 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. Dividend income may
   include dividends that represent returns of capital for federal income tax
   purposes.

 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 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and
   capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio's
   understanding of the applicable countries' tax rules and rates.

 D 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. Recognized 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.

 E Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the 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.

 F Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian
   to the Portfolio. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, IBT
   receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average
   daily cash balances the Portfolio maintains with IBT. All significant credit
   balances used to reduce the Portfolios custodian fees are reported as a
   reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.

 G Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
   Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification
   of the security sold.

 H Interim Financial Statements -- The interim financial statements relating to
   June 30, 2000 and for the period then ended have not been audited by
   independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONT'D

   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 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.
   The fee is computed at the monthly rate of 5/96 of 1% (0.625% annualized) of
   the Portfolio's average daily net assets up to $300 million and 1/24 of 1%
   (0.50% annualized) of average daily net assets of $300 million and more. For
   the period ended June 30, 2000 the fee was equivalent to 0.63% (annualized)
   of the Portfolio's average net assets for such period and amounted to
   $362,971. 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
   service 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
   period ended June 30, 2000, no significant amounts have been deferred.

   aggregated $332,106,690 and $209,498,528, respectively.

4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments

   The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the
   investments owned at June 30, 2000, as computed on a federal income tax
   basis, were as follows:

<TABLE>
    <S>                                       <C>
    AGGREGATE COST                            $158,704,768
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Gross unrealized appreciation             $ 28,463,927
    Gross unrealized depreciation               (9,899,942)
    ------------------------------------------------------
    NET UNREALIZED APPRECIATION               $ 18,563,985
    ------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

5 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. 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 an
   amount above 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 period ended June 30, 2000.

6 Transfer of Net Assets
-------------------------------------------
   Prior to the opening of business on March, 7, 2000, Eaton Vance Balanced
   Fund, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated February 29,
   2000, contributed net assets to the Portfolio of $196,706,145, in exchange
   for an interest therein, including $29,830,011 of net unrealized
   appreciation. The transaction was structured for tax purposes to qualify as a
   tax free exchange under the Internal Revenue Code.
