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 $0.316 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 6.43%.(1) The Fund's SEC 30-day yield at June 30 was
6.39%.(2)
o The Fund had a six-month total return of 3.11%,(3) 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 economies 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) Return
does not reflect applicable early withdrawal charge (EWC). (4) Returns are
historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset
value with all distributions reinvested. SEC average annual total returns
reflect applicable EWC as follows: 1st year - 3%; 2nd year - 2.5%; 3rd year -
2%; 4th year - 1%. (5) 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 Prime Rate Reserves AS OF JUNE 30, 1999
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
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 (42.7%) at June
30, 1999. 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 on 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, 1998, the Trust, for
federal income tax purposes had a capital loss carryover of $7,779,908 which
will expire on December 31, 2004 ($989,321) and December 31, 2005
($6,790,587). 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 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 of the Trust and 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 Trust or the
Portfolio maintain with IBT. All significant credit balances used to reduce
the Trust's custodian fee are reported as a reduction of expenses on the
statement of operations.
G Interim Financial Statements -- The interim financial statements relating
to June 30, 1999 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.
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 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. An early withdrawal charge
will be imposed on most shares accepted for repurchase which have been held
less than four years (see Note 5). The Trustees approved repurchase offers
for the periods from February 1, 1999 to February 22, 1999, May 3, 1999 to
May 24, 1999 and August 2, 1999 to August 23, 1999. Transactions in Trust
shares were as follows:

Net increase 71,901,766 93,385,001
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Transactions with Affiliates
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of the Trust. Prior
to May 1, 1999 an administration fee, computed at the monthly rate of 1/48
of 1% (0.25% annually) of the average daily gross assets of the Portfolio
attributable to the Trust, was paid to EVM for managing and administering
business affairs of the Trust. Effective May 1, 1999, EVM has agreed to
waive its administration fee as long as the distribution fee (Note 5) is
being paid by 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 of the above organizations.
5 Distribution Plan
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan (the Plan) effective May 1, 1999
that allows the Trust to pay disrribution fees for the sale and distribution
of shares. The Plan requires the Trust to pay the Principal Underwriter,
Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD) an amount equal to 0.70% (annually) of
the Trust's average daily net assets, for providing ongoing distribution
services and facilities to the Trust.
6 Early Withdrawal Charge
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM, serves as the
Trust's principal underwriter. EVD compensates investment 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 expenses will be charged to
repurchasing shareholders and paid to EVD in connection with most shares
held for less than four years which are accepted by the Trust for
repurchase. 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 repurchased, the value of which exceeds the aggregate value at
the time the repurchase 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, 1999 amounted to
approximately $2,089,000.
7 Investment Transactions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increases and decreases in the Trust's investment in the Portfolio for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 aggregated $869,135,629 and $263,467,577,
respectively.
8 Shareholder Meeting

On March 12, 1999, a special meeting of the shareholders of Eaton Vance
Prime Rate Reserves was held for the purpose of voting on the matter listed

* 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.
