NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
High Income Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-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. Investment operations began on June 1, 1994,
with the acquisition of securities with a value of $404,032,967,
including unrealized depreciation of $12,843,350, in
exchange for an interest in the Portfolio by one of the
Portfolio's investors. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The poli-
cies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
A. INVESTMENT VALUATIONS -- Investments listed on securi-
ties exchanges or in the NASDAQ National Market are val-
ued at closing sale prices. Listed or unlisted investments for
which closing sale prices are not available are valued at the
mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Fixed income
investments (other than short-term obligations), including
listed investments and investments for which price quota-
tions are available, will normally be valued on the basis of
market valuations furnished by a pricing service. Financial
futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued
at closing settlement prices. Short-term obligations, matur-
ing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates value. Investments for which there is no quo-
tation or valuation are valued at fair value using methods
determined in good faith by or at the direction of the
Trustees.
B. INCOME -- Interest income is determined on the basis
of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or
discount when required for federal income tax purposes.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for
dividends received in cash and or securities.
C. INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio has elected to be treated
as a partnership for Federal tax purposes. No provision is
made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any tax-
able 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 sat-
isfy the applicable source of income and diversification
requirements, (under the Code) in order for its investors to
satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate at least annually
among its investors each investors' 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. FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS -- Upon the entering of a
financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit
("initial margin") either in cash or securities an amount equal
to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the
financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or
received by the Portfolio ("margin maintenance") each day,
dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the under-
lying security, and are recorded for book purposes as unreal-
ized gains or losses by the Portfolio. The Portfolio's invest-
ment in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge
against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should
interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not
achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures con-
tracts and may realize a loss.
F. OTHER -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a
trade date basis.

----------------------------------------------------------------
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and
Research (BMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton
Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management
and investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio.
The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net
assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other
than gains from the sale of securities). For the period from
the start of business, June 1, 1994, to September 30, 1994,
the fee was equivalent to 0.62% (annualized) of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets for such period and
amounted to $890,113. Except as to Trustees of the Portfolio
who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization,
officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services
to the Fund out of such investment adviser fee. Investors
Bank & Trust Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM and
BMR, serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the cus-
todian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits
which are determined based on the average daily cash bal-
ances the Portfolio maintains with IBT. Certain of the offi-
cers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers and directors/
trustees of the above organizations.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(3) INVESTMENTS
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities. The ability
of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Portfolio to
meet their obligations may be affected by economic develop-
ments in a specific industry. Purchases and sales of invest-
ments, other than U.S. Government securities and short-
term obligations, aggregated $99,845,956 and $75,589,274,
respectively.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(4) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds
managed by BMR and EVM in a $120 million unsecured
line of credit agreement with a bank. The line of credit con-
sists of a $20 million committed facility and an $100 million
discretionary facility. Borrowings will be made by the Port-
folio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unan-
ticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to
each Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above
either the bank's adjusted certificate of deposit rate, a vari-
able adjusted certificate of deposit rate, or a federal funds
effective rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of
1/4 of 1% on the $20 million committed facility and on the
daily unused portion of the $100 million discretionary facility
is allocated among the participating funds and portfolios at
the end of each quarter. At September 30, 1994, the Portfolio
had an outstanding balance of $1,360,000, pursuant to the
line of credit.

(6) NOT READILY MARKETABLE SECURITIES
At September 30, 1994, the Portfolio owned the following
securities (constituting 3.35% of net assets) which were not
readily marketable at such date. The Portfolio has various
registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circum-
stances) with respect to certain of these securities. The fair
value of these securities is determined based on valuations
provided by brokers when available or, if not available, they
are determined in good faith under methods or procedures
authorized by the Trustees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Trustees and Investors of
High Income Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of High Income Portfolio as of September 30, 1994,
and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets
and the supplementary data for the period from the start of business, June 1,
1994, to September 30, 1994. These financial statements and supplementary data
are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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
owned at September 30, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers.
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 audit provides 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 High Income Portfolio at
September 30, 1994, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets,
and its supplementary data for the period from the start of business, June 1,
1994, to September 30, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
