Item 5.  Other Events
         ------------

                  On March 12, 1999 Prospect Street High Income Portfolio,  Inc.
(the  "Fund") held its 1999 Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders.  At such  meeting,
Richard E. Omohundro, Jr., John A. Frabotta, John S. Albanese, C. William Carey,
Joseph G. Cote,  Harlan D. Platt and  Christopher E. Roshier were  re-elected as
directors  of the Fund to serve  until the next  annual  meeting  of the  Fund's
stockholders  and until  their  successors  shall  have been  duly  elected  and
qualified. The stockholders also ratified the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP
as  independent  public  accounts of the Fund for the fiscal year ending October
31, 1999. The  stockholders  voted against a proposal which would have increased
the annual  advisory fee to 0.70% of the Fund's  average annual net assets up to
and including  $200,000,000  and 0.65% of the excess of such managed assets over
$200,000,000.  Accordingly,  the  current  0.50% to 0.65%  tiered  advisory  fee
structure will remain unchanged.
