For more information about Eaton Vance's Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called "householding" and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at
1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds' and Portfolios' Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

The Fund
Performance for the Past Six Months
• For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the Fund) had a total return of 2.92%. This return was the result of an increase in net asset value (NAV) per share to $559.64 on June 30, 2006, from $546.87 on December 31, 2005, and the reinvestment of $3.20 per share in dividend distributions.
• For comparison, the S&P 500 Index – a broad-based, unmanaged market index commonly used as a measure of overall U.S. stock market performance – had a total return of 2.70% for the same period. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Classification had a total return of 1.34% for the same period.(1)
See pages 2 and 3 for more performance information, including after-tax returns.
Management Discussion
• The broad equity market posted mixed returns for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks, while value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. Geopolitical fears and economic uncertainty led to a month-long sell-off toward the end of the period, reversing much of the first quarter gains. Increased market volatility caused investors to move from risky, speculative investments to more stable, value-oriented, and dividend-producing stocks. On balance, corporate trends remained positive, as companies reported solid earnings gains, record profitability and healthy balance sheets. However, as the period progressed, strength in corporate profits became increasingly overshadowed by anxiety surrounding world events and concern over the direction of the economy and interest rates. Monetary policy remained in a tightening mode, as the Federal Reserve raised its Fed Funds target rate four times, to 5.25%, over the period.
• Energy, telecommunications and industrials were the strongest-performing S&P 500 Index sectors, while information technology and health care stocks realized weaker semiannual returns. Record crude oil prices helped energy-related stocks advance higher. Market-leading industries in the first half of the year included energy equipment and services, construction, metal and mining, and diversified telecom. In contrast, internet software, catalog retail, health care equipment and household durables stocks were among the weakest performers.
• Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio), in which the Fund invests, remained broadly diversified, continuing to emphasize investments in large-cap, high-quality stocks.
• Compared to the S&P 500 Index, the Portfolio benefited from an overweighting of the industrials, energy and consumer staples sectors and an underweighting of the information technology and health care sectors. The Portfolio’s stock selection among metals and mining, health care providers and air freight logistics industries was also beneficial to performance.
• Conversely, an underweight of the leading telecommunications and utilities sectors, as well as stock selection in retail, insurance and biotechnology holdings hurt relative performance.
• We are pleased to announce that, effective May 1, 2006, Lewis R. Piantedosi joins the management team as co-portfolio manager. Mr. Piantedosi, a Vice President of Eaton Vance, has been with the firm since 1999 and manages several other Eaton Vance funds.
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.
Fund shares 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.

“Return Before Taxes” does not take into consideration shareholder taxes. It is most relevant to tax-free or tax-deferred shareholder accounts. “Return After Taxes on Distributions” reflects the impact of federal income taxes due on Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains. It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who continue to hold their shares. “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” also reflects the impact of taxes on capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares. It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who sell their shares.

The Fund commenced operations on 3/29/66.
After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rate and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant for shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for that period because no distributions were paid during that period orbecause the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Also, Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of realized losses on the sale of Fund shares.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 as of June 30, 2006
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006 – June 30, 2006).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(5% return per year before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,022.50 | | | $ | 2.31 | | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.46% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on December 31, 2005. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio.

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 Fund's net investment income or loss consists of the Fund's pro rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio, less all actual and accrued expenses of the Fund.
C Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
D Federal Taxes — The Fund'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, substantially all of its net investment income and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At December 31, 2005, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $395,235 which will reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Such capital loss carryover will expire on December 31, 2013. Although the Fund intends to distribute net realized long-term gains to shareholders each year, the Fund reserves the right to designate such gains as undistributed and pay the federal tax thereon on behalf of shareholders. Provision for such tax is recorded on the Fund's records on the last business day of the Fund's fiscal year because the Internal Revenue Code provides that such tax is allocated among shareholders of record on that date.
E Expense Reduction — Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fee.
F Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
H 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2006 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an

independent registered public accounting firm, 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 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund's policy is to distribute all or substantially all of the net investment income allocated by the Portfolio to the Fund (less the Fund's direct expenses) and to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by any available capital loss carryforwards from prior years) allocated by the Portfolio to the Fund, if any. Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares of the Fund or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash. Shareholders may reinvest all distributions in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent di fferences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are re-classified to paid-in capital.
3 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 (Unaudited) | | Year Ended December 31, 2005 | |
Issued to shareholders electing to receive payments of distributions in Fund shares | | | 2,715 | | | | 8,074 | | |
Redemptions | | | (79,702 | ) | | | (83,456 | ) | |
Net decrease | | | (76,987 | ) | | | (75,382 | ) | |
4 Investment Transactions
Decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio aggregated $48,857,231 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
5 Transactions with Affiliates
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. 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. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of those services. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, EVM received $1,521 in sub-transfer agent fees.
Except for Trustees of the Fund and 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 the investment adviser fee earned by BMR. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM or BMR may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of these annual fees in accordance with terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
6 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of June 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio, which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on December 1, 1995, seeks to achieve long-term, after-tax returns for its interestholders through investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuations — Securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System generally are valued at the official NASDAQ closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market , by an independent pricing service. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price for the day of valuation as quoted on the principal exchange or board of trade on which the options are traded or, in the absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices therefore. Futures positions on securities and currencies generally are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, they will be valued by a pricing service. Other fixed income and debt securities, including listed securities and securities for which price quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an independent quotation service. The daily va luation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments held by the Portfolio for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Por tfolio considering relevant factors, data and information including the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded.
B Federal 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 taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. 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 a mong 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.
C Futures Contracts — Upon the entering of a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount (initial margin) 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 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 to hedge against anticipated future changes in the price of current or anticipated portfolio positions. Should prices move unexpecte dly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
D Put Options — Upon the purchase of a put option by the Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires, the Portfolio will realize
23
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of June 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. When the Portfolio exercises a put option, settlement is made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
E Securities Sold Short — The Portfolio may sell individual securities short if it owns at least an equal amount of the security sold short or has at the time of the sale a right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short provided that, if such right is conditional, the sale is made upon the same conditions (a covered short sale). The Portfolio may sell short securities representing an index or basket of securities whose constituents the Portfolio holds in whole or in part. A short sale of an index or basket of securities w ill be a covered short sale if the underlying index or basket of securities is the same or substantially identical to securities held by the Portfolio. Upon executing the transaction, the Portfolio records the proceeds as deposits with brokers in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and establishes an offsetting payable for securities sold short for the securities due on settlement. The proceeds are retained by the broker as collateral for the short position. The liability is marked-to-market and the Portfolio is required to pay the lending broker any dividend or interest income earned while the short position is open. The seller of a short position generally realizes a profit on the transaction if the price it receives on the short sale exceeds the cost of closing out the position by purchasing securities in the market, but generally realizes a loss if the cost of closing out the short position exceeds the proceeds of the short sale. The exposure to loss on covered short sales (to the extent the value of the security sold short rises instead of falls) is offset by the increase in the value of the underlying security or securities retained. The profit or loss on a covered short sale is also affected by the borrowing cost of any securities borrowed in connection with the short sale (which will vary with market conditions) and use of the proceeds of the short sale. The Portfolio expects normally to close covered short sales against-the-box by delivering newly acquired stock. Exposure to loss on an index or basket of securities sold short will not be offset by gains on other securities holdings to the extent that the constituent securities of the index or a basket of securities sold short are not held by the Portfolio. Such losses may be substantial.
F Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
G Indemnifications — Under the Portfolio's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Interestholders in the Portfolio are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities and obligations of the Portfolio in the event that the Portfolio fails to satisfy such liabilities and obligations; provided, however, that, to the extent assets are available in the Portfolio, the Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, indemnify interestholders from and against any claim or liability to which such holder may become subject by reason of being or having been an interestholder in t he Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
I Expense Reduction — Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian to the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were $99 in credit balances used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fee.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
J 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
K Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2006 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Portfolio'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. Under the advisory agreement, BMR receives a monthly advisory fee of 5/96 of 1% (0.625% annually) of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio up to $500,000,000, and at reduced rates as daily net assets exceed that level. Certain of the advisory fee rate reductions are pursuant to an agreement between the Portfolio's Board of Trustees and BMR. Those reductions may not be changed without Trustee and interestholder approval. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the advisory fee was 0.43% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Except for 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 ou t of such investment adviser fee. 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, 2006, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
3 Investment Transactions
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $106,265,255 and $522,291,492, respectively. In addition, investments having an aggregate market value of $744,273,958 at dates of withdrawal were distributed in payment for capital withdrawals and investors contributed securities with a value of $542,059,954, during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investments owned at June 30, 2006 as computed on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | | $ | 4,197,214,137 | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 14,738,506,762 | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (1,652,738 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 14,736,854,024 | | |
Unrealized appreciation on foreign currency is $75,841.
5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The Portfolio did not have any open obligations under these financial instruments at June 30, 2006.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and EVM and its affiliates in a $150 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participating 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
25
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of June 30, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
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 June 30, 2006.
7 Restricted Securities
At June 30, 2006, the Portfolio owned the following securities (representing 0.01% of net assets) which were restricted as to public resale and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The securities are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
Common Stocks | | Date of Acquisition | | Eligible for Resale | | Shares | | Cost | | Fair Value | |
Medtronic, Inc. | | 5/18/06 | | 5/19/07 | | | 7,500 | | | $ | 368,372 | | | $ | 351,416 | | |
Progressive Corp. | | 10/14/05 | | 10/15/06 | | | 37,880 | | | | 1,031,533 | | | | 973,408 | | |
| | $ | 1,399,905 | | | $ | 1,324,824 | | |
8 Securities Lending Agreement
The Portfolio has established a securities lending agreement with a securities lending agent, IBT, in which the Portfolio lends portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested in Eaton Vance Cash Collateral Fund, LLC (Cash Collateral Fund). Cash Collateral Fund invests in high quality money market instruments. The Portfolio earns interest on the amount invested in Cash Collateral Fund but it must pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. In addition, the Portfolio pays IBT a lending agent fee computed as a percentage of the earnings on its investment in Cash Collateral Fund less the loan rebate fee. The loan rebate fee and lending agent fee paid by the Portfolio amounted to $809,916 and $47,090, res pectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006 the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral amounted to $68,585,000 and $72,500,000, respectively. In the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio is subject to potential loss if it is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolio bears risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on loans.
9 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Portfolio is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("Independent Trustees") cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a "Board") of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the "Eaton Vance Funds") held on March 27, 2006, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Special Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Special Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Special Committee held in February and March 2006. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
• An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing each fund's total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
• Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;
• Comparative information concerning fees charged by each adviser for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the fund;
• Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund managed by it;
Information about Portfolio Management
• Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed;
• Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through "soft dollar" benefits received in connection with the funds' brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds;
• Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;
• The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;
Information about each Adviser
• Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser;
• Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
• Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes;
• Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions;
• Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates;
Other Relevant Information
• Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates;
• Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds' administrator; and
• The terms of each advisory agreement.
In addition to the information identified above, the Special Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve month period ended March 31, 2006, the Board met nine times and the Special Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a
27
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D
Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met eight, twelve and five times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund's investment objective.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund's investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Special Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Special Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Special Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Special Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of the Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), the portfolio in which the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the "Fund") invests, with Boston Management and Research (the "Adviser"), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Special Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Special Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser's management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted the Adviser's in-house equity research capabilities and experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax returns. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Portfolio in the complex by senior management.
The Board reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund's investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2005 for the Fund. The Board noted the Fund's excellent long-term performance record. The Board noted that, unlike many other funds in its peer group, the Fund is managed by the Adviser with an emphasis on growth-oriented stocks, while value-oriented stocks have generally outperformed growth-oriented stocks in recent years. These differences have adversely affected the Fund's performance in recent years, relative to its peers. The Board concluded that the Fund's performance is satisfactory.

Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund's total expense ratio for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services and the Fund's total expense ratio are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Portfolio, the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Portfolio and the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. The Board noted that, at its request, the Adviser had agreed to add a breakpoint with respect to assets that exceed $20 billion. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.
