* Non-income producing security.
(1) Senior floating rate loan 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 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 December 31, 1999, the Portfolio had unfunded commitments amounting
to $126,663,503 under various revolving credit agreements.

Senior Debt Portfolio as of December 31, 1999
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 adviser, 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. 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 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 Boston Management and Research (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 year ended December 31, 1999, the effective annual rate,
based on average daily gross assets, was 0.54% and amounted to $45,057,800.
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 year ended December 31, 1999, no significant amounts have been deferred.
During the year ended December 31, 1999 the Fund engaged in purchase and
sale transactions with other funds that also utilize BMR, or an affilite of
BMR, as an investment adviser. These purchase and sale transactions complied
with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and amounted to
$65,305,644 and $29,481,553, respectively.
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 year ended
December 31, 1999 aggregated $6,893,590,029 and $4,716,756,542,
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 $429,680 which is computed at the annual rate of 0.10% of
the credit agreement. There were no significant borrowings under this
agreement during the year ended December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 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 December 31, 1999, as computed on a federal income tax
basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $9,238,214,939
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 10,164,488
Gross unrealized depreciation (76,446,345)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized depreciation $ (66,281,857)

Senior Debt Portfolio as of December 31, 1999
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 December 31, 1999, the related statements of operations and
cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the supplementary data for
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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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 $7,187,047,556
(76.56% 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.
