LETTER TO
SHAREHOLDERS
NOVEMBER 30, 1994
      Dear Shareholder:
 
        We  are pleased to provide the third quarter report for the Managed High
      Income Portfolio Inc. (the  "Portfolio") for the  3 months ended  November
      30,  1994. During its  third quarter, the  Portfolio paid income dividends
      totaling  $0.279  per  share,  which   is  equivalent  to  an   annualized
      distribution rate of 10.45% based on the November 30, 1994 net asset value
      of  $10.68 per share.  The Portfolio generated a  negative total return of
      -1.19% for the 3 months, and -3.61%  for the 12 months ended November  30,
      1994,  based on the Portfolio's net asset value. These results were either
      in line with or superior to  the median total returns for closed-end  high
      yield funds as reported by Lipper Analytical Services Inc., an independent
      performance  tracking organization. The  Portfolio's performance continued
      to be negatively impacted by a  combination of factors with the major  one
      being  the significant rise in interest rates  in 1994. It should be noted
      that our negative performance was not the result of holding any defaulting
      issues or derivative securities, but was more a result of the  significant
      rise  in  general  interest  rates resulting  from  the  Federal Reserve's
      tightening of  monetary  policy.  In  this  environment,  even  relatively
      conservative   intermediate  maturity  (3-7  years)  Treasury  notes  have
      experienced a meaningful erosion in principal value over the course of the
      past 11 months.
 
      MARKET AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
        While  the  economic  expansion  remains  on  track,  it  appears   that
      consumption  may finally  be slowing as  evidenced by weaker-than-expected
      retail sales in  the final  months of 1994.  Throughout 1994,  individuals
      financed  a large portion of their purchases  with debt. As a result, debt
      levels are back to their historical highs. This may be starting to act  as
      a  drag on  consumption expenditures. The  industrial side  of the economy
      remains  strong,   however,   with   factory   capacity   utilization   at
 
      1
<PAGE>
   relatively high levels. The Federal Reserve's fear is that, given the
   high levels of employment and robust industrial production, inflation
   rates  may begin to  move unacceptably higher.  So far, inflation has
   not increased as evidenced by the relatively modest 2.70% increase in
   the Consumer Price  Index in  1994. However, to  prevent the  general
   economy  from over-heating with  unacceptably higher inflation rates,
   the Federal Reserve will most likely raise short term interest  rates
   again  in the first half of 1995 on  top of the 250 basis point (2.50
   percentage points) increase in short-term interest rates in 1994.
 
     On  the  political  front,   the  recent  overwhelming   Republican
   victories  in Congress may mark a watershed event in economic circles
   as well. In addition to the  expected changes in fiscal policy  where
   government  may actually be  downsized for the first  time in over 40
   years, some market analysts feel that the recent Republican victories
   will alter the relationship between the U.S. Congress and the Federal
   Reserve Bank. In  effect the  Federal Reserve may  be given  stronger
   support to pursue a more consistent anti-inflationary monetary policy
   which  would be welcomed by the bond market. In any event, we believe
   that the Federal Reserve will succeed in controlling economic  growth
   and limiting inflationary pressures which should allow interest rates
   to  once again move lower with corresponding bond price appreciation.
   This interest rate decline may not  occur for at least another  three
   months  as economic  growth and  inflation shift  to a  more moderate
   trajectory. In  the  meantime,  we  would not  be  surprised  to  see
   additional interest rate increases on the part of the Federal Reserve
   to  ensure a  continuation of  the moderate  inflation rates  we have
   witnessed over the past several years.
 
   PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
     Throughout 1994, we have shifted the Portfolio into  higher-coupon,
   intermediate-maturity   (5-10  years)   issues  of   relatively  more
   economically-sensitive companies in order to limit interest rate risk
   and to  capitalize on  the improving  economy. Our  largest  industry
   weightings  remain in  forest products, paper  and containers, metals
   and mining,  and  general manufacturing.  We  have been  very  slowly
   reducing  our  gaming  exposure  given  the  increasingly competitive
   conditions in that  industry. Since  we believe that  the high  yield
   market  is in a bottoming phase, we  have moved to a relatively fully
   invested  position   with   an   average  maturity   of   between   7
 
    2
<PAGE>
   and  8  years.  At some  point,  as  we become  more  confident  of a
   sustainable market  upturn in  1995, we  will begin  to favor  deeper
   discount  securities which should  provide greater price appreciation
   potential during market rallies.
 
   SUMMARY THOUGHTS
     We believe that the worst of  the bond market correction is  behind
   us  and that the high yield market offers reasonable value at current
   levels. However, we also believe that the market may not move  higher
   in  price  until  the Federal  Reserve  is closer  to  completing its
   monetary tightening.  We remain  confident that  the Federal  Reserve
   will  succeed  in  controlling  economic  growth  and  inflation with
   short-term interest rates  peaking in  the first half  of 1995.  This
   hopefully  should  mark  the end  of  one  of the  worst  bond market
   declines in the past century.
 
     We appreciate your  past support during  these difficult times  and
   look  forward to achieving improving results over the course of 1995.
   While patience may still be required as the financial markets  bottom
   in  1995,  we  believe  that  patience  will  be  rewarded  as market
   conditions strengthen.  Should  you  have any  questions  about  your
   investment  in the  Portfolio, please  call The  Shareholder Services
   Group, Inc. at (800) 331-1710.
 
     Sincerely,
 
      Heath B. McLendon                  John C. Bianchi, CFA
       CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD             VICE PRESIDENT AND

    NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
    NOVEMBER 30, 1994 (Unaudited)
 
  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    Managed  High Income Portfolio  Inc. (the "Portfolio")  was organized as a
  corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 24, 1992 and
  is  registered   with  the   Securities  and   Exchange  Commission   as   a
  non-diversified,   closed-end  management   investment  company   under  the
  Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The policies described below are
  followed consistently by the Portfolio in the valuation of its portfolio.
 
    PORTFOLIO  VALUATION:  Investments  are  valued  by  The  Boston   Company
  Advisors,  Inc. ("Boston  Advisors") after consultation  with an independent
  pricing service (the "Service") approved by the Board of Directors. When, in
  the judgment of the Service, quoted  bid prices for investments are  readily
  available  and  are representative  of  the bid  side  of the  market, these
  investments are valued at the mean  between the quoted bid prices and  asked
  prices.  Investments for which,  in the judgment of  the Service, no readily
  obtainable market quotations  are available,  are carried at  fair value  as
  determined  by the Service, based on  methods that include consideration of:
  yields or prices of high  income obligations of comparable quality,  coupon,
  maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market
  conditions. The Service may use electronic data processing techniques and/or
  a  matrix system to determine valuations. Short-term investments that mature
  in fewer than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.
 
    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The  Portfolio may engage  in repurchase  agreement
  transactions.  Under  the  terms  of  a  typical  repurchase  agreement, the
  Portfolio takes possession of  an underlying debt  obligation subject to  an
  obligation  of the  seller to repurchase,  and the Portfolio  to resell, the
  obligation at an agreed-upon price  and time, thereby determining the  yield
  during  the Portfolio's holding period. This  arrangement results in a fixed
  rate of  return  that is  not  subject  to market  fluctuations  during  the
  Portfolio's holding period. The value of the collateral is at least equal at
  all  times  to the  total amount  of  the repurchase  obligations, including
  interest. In the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the  right
  to  use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to
  the Portfolio in the event that  the Portfolio is delayed or prevented  from
  exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the
  risk  of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during
  the period while the Portfolio seeks  to assert its rights. The  Portfolio's
  investment adviser, acting under the supervision of the Portfolio's Board of

  Directors,  reviews the value of the  collateral and the creditworthiness of
  those banks  and dealers  with which  the Portfolio  enters into  repurchase
  agreements to evaluate potential risks.
 
    PAYMENT-IN-KIND  SECURITIES: The  Portfolio may  invest in payment-in-kind
  ("pay-in-kind") securities.  Pay-in-kind  securities are  recorded  at  fair
  value  on the ex-dividend date.  Pay-in-kind securities pay interest through
  the issuance to the  holders of additional  securities. Because interest  on
  pay-in-kind  securities  is  not paid  on  a  current basis,  the  values of
  securities of this  type are subject  to greater fluctuations  than are  the
  values  of  securities  that distribute  income  regularly and  may  be more
  speculative  than  such  securities.   Accordingly,  the  values  of   these
  securities may be highly volatile as interest rates rise or fall.
