INVESTMENT UPDATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Environment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Loan Market
o The loan market has continued to grow in dollar volume, deal activity and
the number of market participants. Syndicated loan volume exceeded $1
trillion in 1999, with senior, secured floating-rate loans making up roughly
two-thirds of that amount, according to Loan Pricing Corp. Loan volume has
remained strong in 2000, with improving liquidity and increasing market
depth.
o In mid-May, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate - a key
short-term interest rate barometer - by 50 basis points (.50%), the sixth
increase in a year, for a total of 175 basis points (1.75%). Those rate
hikes have been reflected in similar increases in LIBOR, the benchmark rate
upon which floating-rate loan interest rates are based.
o There has been a shift in focus away from "old economy" companies toward
"new economy" companies. Media and telecom companies have been among the
most active borrowers in recent years and that trend is expected to continue
in 2000. These new economy companies have significant capital requirements
and the loan market is increasingly viewed as an attractive alternative to
the bond markets.
The Fund
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance for the Past Six Months
o The Fund distributed $0.371 in income dividends during the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Based on a $9.84 net asset value on June 30, 2000, the Fund
had a distribution rate of 7.90%.(1) The Fund's SEC 30-day yield at June 30
was 7.94%.(2)
o The Fund had a six-month total return of 3.30%,(3) which, once again, well
exceeded the rate of inflation. According to the Consumer Price Index,
inflation advanced at an annualized rate of 2.38% in the first half of 2000.
The Portfolio's Investments
o Industry diversification remained a major emphasis of the Portfolio, with
investments in over 50 different industries and 358 borrowers at June 30.
The average loan as a percentage of the Portfolio's total net assets had
declined to 0.25%. The 10 largest holdings represented only 10.4% of the
Portfolio, indicating a limited exposure to risk in any single borrower.
o Wireless telecommunications companies constituted the Portfolio's largest
industry weighting at June 30. Nextel Communications, Inc. provides digital
wireless services in major metropolitan areas, primarily to business
customers. The company serviced six million digital units in the first half
of 2000 and witnessed a 59% rise in revenues in the second quarter alone.
o Cable television remained a large focus within the Portfolio. Charter
Communications, Inc. is the nation's fourth largest cable network and has
been a pioneer in providing bandwidth-intensive, interactive services,
including Internet, music downloading, bill-paying and e-commerce. In the
first quarter of 2000, Charter saw revenues increase more than fourfold from
a year earlier.
o In the lodging industry, Starwood Hotels & Resorts is one of the world's
largest operators, with 725 hotels in 80 countries. Starwood signed
contracts for 30,000 new hotel rooms in 1999 alone, and is on a similar pace
in 2000. Importantly, while the company is in a fast-growth mode, Starwood
has divested itself of $7 billion in non-strategic assets, using the
proceeds, in part, to pay down debt.
o In the leisure area, Blockbuster Entertainment, Inc. operates 7,200 video
rental stores throughout the U.S. The company recently announced plans with
Enron Broadband Services to offer movies-on-demand. The move seeks to take
advantage of the growing in-home entertainment industry, which is expected
to reach $20 billion by year-end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shares of the Fund 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. Yield will
change.

(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) Industry weightings are subject to change due to active
management. Five largest industry weightings account for 26.6% 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.

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 (45.4%) at June 30, 2000. 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, 1999, the Trust, for federal
income tax purposes had a capital loss carryover of $16,649,722 which will
expire on December 31, 2004 ($989,321), December 31, 2005 ($6,790,587) and
December 31, 2007 (8,869,814). 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 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 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 maintains with
IBT. All significant credit balances used to reduce the Trust's custodian fees
are reported as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.
G Interim Financial Statements -- The interim financial statements relating to
June 30, 2000 and for the six months 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 (of at least 5% and up
to 25% of its shares) at net asset value only once a quarter. It is a
fundamental policy of the Trust (which may only be changed by shareholder
vote) that the Trust will conduct repurchase offers ending on a date (fixed by
the Trustees) in the months of February, May, August and November and the
repurchase price will be determined no more than 14 days following the
repurchase request deadline. Payment for all shares repurchased pursuant to
these offers normally will be made not later that 7 days after the repurchase
pricing date. Shareholders will be sent notification of each repurchase offer
at least 21 days prior to the repurchase request deadline. An early withdrawal
charge will be imposed on most shares accepted for repurchase which have been
held less than four years (see Note 6). During the six months ended June 30,
2000, the Trust made two repurchase offers as follows:
Repurchase Amount

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Transactions with Affiliates
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator 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 officers and Trustees of the Trust and of the Portfolio are officers
of the above organizations.
5 Distribution Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Trust has in effect a distribution plan (the Plan) effective May 1, 1999
that allows the Trust to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution
of shares. The Plan requires the Trust to pay the Principal Underwriter, Eaton
Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM, 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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
costs 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 repurchases 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, 2000 amounted to approximately $4,222,287.
7 Investment Transactions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increases and decreases in the Trust's investment in the Portfolio for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 aggregated $446,783,105 and $448,082,419,
respectively.
8 Shareholder Meeting

(1) Senior secured floating rate interests often require prepayments from
excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election.
The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual
requirement or at the 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.

$113,182,126 under various revolving credit agreements.

Senior Debt Portfolio as of June 30, 2000
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 are in interests in
senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans). Certain senior loans are deemed to
be liquid because reliable market quotations are readily available for them.
Boston Management and Research (BMR) values liquid Senior Loans at their
market value, so that they are marked to market daily. Other Senior Loans are
valued at fair value by the Portfolio's investment advisor, 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 Senior Loan and any related agreements, and
the position of the Senior 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 an evaluation 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 Senior Loans and the market
environment and investor attitudes towards the Senior Loan and interests in
similar Senior Loans; (v) the reputation and financial condition of the agent
and any intermediate participant in the Senior Loan; and (vi) general economic
and market conditions affecting the fair value of the Senior Loan. 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 which may use 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 at least 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 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 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, 2000, the
effective annual rate, based on average daily gross assets, was 0.41% and
amounted to $19,582,664. 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, 2000, no significant amounts have been deferred.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000 the Portfolio engaged in purchase
transactions with other funds that also utilize BMR, or an affiliate of BMR,
as an investment adviser. These purchase transactions complied with Rule 17a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and amounted to $18,370,048.
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, 2000 aggregated $2,579,811,084 and $2,361,166,831, respectively.
4 Short-Term Debt and Credit Agreements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio has 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 $273,860 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, 2000. As of June 30, 2000, 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, 2000, as computed on a federal income tax basis,
were as follows:
Aggregate cost $9,258,083,682
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 15,485,850
Gross unrealized depreciation (122,323,410)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized depreciation $ (106,837,560)

Senior Debt Portfolio as of June 30, 2000
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, 2000, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the
period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, and the supplementary
data for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and each of the years in the
four-year period ended December 31, 1999 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, 2000 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, 2000, 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 $4,089,050,064 (44.03%
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.
