INVESTMENT UPDATE
Investment Environment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Loan Market/Short-term Interest Rates
o Loan supply continued to expand in 1997, with loan volume in the first half
exceeding the record pace set in 1996, according to Loan Pricing Corp.'s Gold
Sheets. However, as volume has grown, credit quality has become an increasing
focus for quality-conscious investors, such as the Portfolio.
o Short-term interest rates edged higher during the period, as the Federal
Reserve signalled its concern that a strong economy could lead to renewed
inflation. The Fed raised its federal funds target rate in March to 5.50% from
5.25%.
o Interestingly, bonds again failed to match the returns in the loan market. The
Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index1 - an unmanaged index of U.S.
Government and corporate bond issues - had a total return of just 2.7% during
the period.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance for the Past Six Months
o The Fund distributed $0.330 in income dividends during the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Based on a $9.99 net asset value on June 30, 1997, the Fund had
an effective distribution rate of 7.10%. The Fund's SEC yield at June 30 was
6.88%.2
o The Fund's distribution rate continued to provide a yield advantage over other
short-term income vehicles. For example, money market mutual funds, 3-month
certificates of deposit, and bank money market accounts offered average rates
of 5.13%, 4.16%, and 3.50%, respectively, as of June 30, 1997.3
o The Fund's six-month total return of 3.4%4 continued to protect shareholders'
purchasing power. By most measures, inflation advanced at an annualized rate
of just over 2% in the first half of 1997.
The Portfolio's Investments
o Broadcasting and cable loan issues were the Portfolio's largest sector
weighting at June 30. A large number of mergers have transformed the
television and radio sectors in the past year, while cable television
providers continue to register subscriber growth and pricing gains.
o Among economically-sensitive, cyclical companies, the Portfolio maintained a
strong position in the paper industry. Container manufacturers, such as core
holdings Jefferson Smurfit Corp. and Stone Container Corp., have absorbed last
year's addition of capacity and benefited from the continuing strength of the
U.S. economy.
o In the non-cyclical area, the Portfolio had investments in the food retailing
industry, which tends to be less vulnerable to a possible economic slowdown.
Ralph's, a leading California supermarket chain, is a good example. Given its
prime store locations and multiple formats in Southern California, Ralph's is
well positioned in a competitive marketplace.
o Another investment was Allied Waste North America, a non-hazardous waste
management company. As the nation's fourth largest waste hauler, Allied has
achieved impressive business synergies through its acquisition strategy. By
matching landfill sites with waste hauling routes in selected areas, Allied
has generated major cost savings.
o Finally, the Portfolio has underweighted the wireless telecom sector. The
group is characterized by growth companies that currently have negative cash
flows.
1It is not possible to invest directly in the Index.
2The Fund's SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per
share for the 30-day period by the net asset value at the end of the period and
annualizing the result.
3The Fund is not insured by the FDIC, nor does it offer a fixed rate of return
like bank certificates of deposit and bank money market funds, and does not
attempt to maintain a constant $1.00 net asset value per share, as do money
market funds.
4Return does not reflect applicable early withdrawal charge (EWC).
5Returns are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value
with all distributions reinvested. SEC average annual returns reflect applicable
EWC as follows: 1st year - 3%; 2nd year - 2.5%; 3rd year - 2.0%; 4th year -
1.0%.
6By net assets as of 6/30/97. Sector weightings and Portfolio Overview are
subject to change due to active management. Five largest sector weightings
account for 32.9% 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. The value of an investment
in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost.
Mutual fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other
obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject
to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

(1) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset
value on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at
the net asset value on the payable date. Total return is not computed on an annualized basis.

(3) The expense ratios for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 have
been adjusted to reflect a change in reporting requirements. The new reporting guidelines require the Fund to
increase its expense ratio by the effect of any expense offset arrangements with its service providers. The expense
ratios for each of the periods ended on December 31, 1994 have not been adjusted to reflect this change.
(4) Portfolio Turnover represents the rate of portfolio activity for the period while the Trust was making investments

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaton Vance Prime Rate Reserves (the Trust) is a non-diversified closed-end
management investment company. The Trust 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. The Trust 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 Trust. The value of the
Trust's investment in the Portfolio reflects the Trust's proportionate
interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (49.3% at June 30, 1997). The
performance of the Trust 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 Trust's financial statements. The following is a summary
of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust 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 Trust's net investment income consists of the Trust's pro rata
share of the net investment income of the Portfolio, less all actual and
accrued expenses of the Trust determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
C Federal Taxes -- The Trust'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. At December 31, 1996, the Fund, for federal income
tax purposes had capital loss carryovers of $1,415,460 which will expire on
December 31, 2004. These amounts will reduce taxable income arising from
future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by
the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the
distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve
the Trust of any liability for federal income or excise tax.
D Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
E 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.
F Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as
custodian of the Trust. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a
fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash
balances the Trust maintains with IBT. All significant credit balances used to
reduce the Trust's custodian fee are reported as a reduction of expenses in
the statement of operations.
G Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating
to June 30, 1997 and for the six month period then ended have not been audited
by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Trust'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 Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust 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. The tax treatment of
distributions for the calendar year will be reported to shareholders prior to
February 1, 1998 and will be based on tax accounting methods which may differ
from amounts determined for financial statement purposes.
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
Trust may from time to time, at its discretion, make tender offers at net
asset value for the purchase of all or a portion of its shares. The price will
be established at the close of business on the last day the tender offer is
open. An early withdrawal charge will be imposed on most shares accepted for
tender which have been held less than four years (see Note 5). The Trustees
approved tender offers for the periods from January 20, 1997 to February 14,
1997, from April 21, 1997 to May 16, 1997 and from July 21, 1997 to August 15,
1997. Transactions in Trust shares were as follows:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net increase 13,422,943 52,188,612
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Transactions with Affiliates
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of the Trust. An
administration fee, computed at the monthly rate of 1/48 of 1% (0.25% per
annum) of the average daily gross assets of the Portfolio attributable to the
Trust, is paid to EVM for managing and administering business affairs of the
Trust. 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 Trust and the Portfolio who are not
members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive
remuneration for their services to the Trust out of such investment adviser
fee. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Trust and the Portfolio are
officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations.
5 Early Withdrawal Charge
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM, serves as the
Trust's principal underwriter. EVD compensates authorized dealers for sales
commissions at a rate of 3% of the purchase price of shares purchased through
such dealers. EVD also pays additional compensation to each dealer ranging
from 0.10% to 0.30% per annum of the value of Trust shares sold by such dealer
that are outstanding for specified periods of time. An early withdrawal charge
to recover distribution expense will be charged to redeeming shareholders and
paid to EVD in connection with most shares held for less than four years which
are accepted by the Trust for repurchase pursuant to tender offers. The early
withdrawal charge is imposed at declining rates that begin at 3% in the case
of redemptions in the first year after purchase, declining to 2.5%, 2%, 1% and
0% in the second, third and fourth year and thereafter respectively. The early
withdrawal charge will be imposed on those shares accepted for tender, the
value of which exceeds the aggregate value at the time the tender is accepted
of: (a) all shares in the account purchased more than four years prior to such
acceptance, (b) all shares in the account acquired through reinvestment of
distributions and (c) the increase, if any, in value of all other shares in
the account (namely those purchased within the four years preceding the
acceptance) over the purchase price of such shares. In determining whether an
early withdrawal charge is payable, it is assumed that the acceptance of a
repurchase offer is made from the earliest purchase of shares. The total early
withdrawal charges received by EVD for the six months ended June 30, 1997
amounted to approximately $1,399,000.
6 Investment Transactions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increases and decreases in the Trust's investment in the Portfolio for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 aggregated $223,942,158 and $149,751,502
respectively.

Senior Debt Portfolio as of June 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Senior Debt Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified 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 loans
(Loan Interests) are valued at fair value by the Portfolio's investment
adviser, Boston Management and Research, 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 Loan Interest, including the cost,
size, current interest rate, period until next interest rate reset, maturity
and base lending rate of the Loan Interest, 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 Loan Interest including price
quotations for and trading in the Loan Interest and interests in similar loans
and the market environment and investor attitudes towards the Loan Interest
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 Loan Interest.
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 than 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 Loan Interests 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.
G Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as
custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives
a fee reduced by the credits which are determined based on the average daily
cash balances the Portfolio maintains with IBT. All significant credit
balances used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fees are reported as a
reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The investment advisory fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (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% per annum) 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. For the six months
ended June 30, 1997, the effective annual rate, based on average daily gross
assets, was 0.89% and amounted to $14,626,344. 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 of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers and
directors/trustees 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, 1997, no significant
amounts have been deferred.
3 Investments
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio invests primarily in Loan Interests. The ability of the issuers
of the Loan Interests 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 Loan Interests and other securities for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 aggregated $1,583,312,681 and $948,208,613,
respectively.
4 Short - Term Debt and Credit Agreements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio has entered into a revolving credit agreement that will allow
the Portfolio to borrow $250 million to support the issuance of commercial
paper and to permit the Portfolio to invest in accordance with its investment
practices. Interest is charged under the revolving credit agreement at the
bank's base rate or at an amount above either the bank's adjusted certificate
of deposit rate or a federal funds effective rate. Interest expense includes a
commitment fee of approximately $104,606 which is computed at the annual rate
of 0.20% of the revolving credit agreement. There were no borrowings under
this agreement during the six months ended June 30, 1997. As of June 30, 1997,
the Portfolio had no commercial paper outstanding.
5 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments Securities
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cost and unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the value of the
investments owned at June 30, 1997, as computed on a federal income tax basis,
were as follows:
Aggregate cost $3,456,604,987
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 2,675,850
Gross unrealized depreciation (9,906,813)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation $ (7,230,963)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Senior Debt Portfolio as of June 30, 1997
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Shareholders
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, 1997, the related statements of operations and of cash flows for the
six month period then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31,1996 and the
supplementary data for the six months ended June 30, 1997, the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the period from the start of business, February 22, 1995,
to December 31, 1995 (all expressed in United States 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 Loan Interests owned at June 30, 1997, 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, the financial statements and supplemental data present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of June 30,
1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows, the changes in its
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 Loan Interests and
certain other securities held by the Portfolio valued at $3,092,085,184 (87.2%
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 Loan Interest 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 value of such Loans Interest and securities and
have inspected underlying documentation, and in the circumstances, we believe
that the procedures are reasonable and the documentation appropriate.
