1   Significant Accounting Policies
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    High Income Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment
    Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management 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 Valuations -- Investments listed on securities exchanges or in
    the NASDAQ National Market are valued 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 quotations 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, maturing in
    sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
    Investments for which there are no quotations or valuations 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 United States 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 taxable 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 underlying security, and are
    recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio.
    The Portfolio's investment 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 contracts and may realize a
    loss.

    F Use of Estimates -- The preparation of 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 Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

    H Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating
    to September 30, 1998 and for the six-month period then ended have not been
    audited by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of
    the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
    recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial
    statements.

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 six months ended September 30, 1998, the fee
    was equivalent to 0.60% (annualized) of the Portfolio's average daily net
    assets and amounted to $2,931,571. 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 Portfolio out of such
    investment adviser fee. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the
    Portfolio are officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations.
    Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated with the Investment
    Adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual fees
    in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For
    the six months ended September 30, 1998, no significant amounts have been
    deferred.

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 developments in a specific industry.
    Purchases and sales of investments, other than U.S. Government securities
    and short-term obligations, aggregated $635,779,620 and $607,445,913,
    respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 1998.

4   Line of Credit
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR
    and EVM and its affiliates in a $100 million unsecured line of credit
    agreement with a group of banks. The Portfolio may temporarily borrow from
    the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment
    transactions. Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund based on its
    borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or federal funds
    rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily
    unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating
    portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. The Portfolio did not have
    any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended
    September 30, 1998.

5   Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The cost and unrealized appreciation/depreciation in value of the
    investments owned at September 30, 1998, as computed on a federal income tax
    basis, were as follows:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Gross unrealized appreciation                            $    79,222,579

    Gross unrealized depreciation                               (143,482,017)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Net unrealized depreciation                              $   (64,259,438)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6   Restricted Securities
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    At September 30, 1998, the Portfolio owned the following securities
    (constituting 0.54% of net assets) which were restricted as to public resale
    and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (excluding Rule 144A
    Securities). The Portfolio has various registration rights (exercisable
    under a variety of circumstances) 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
    valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the
    direction of the Trustees.
