SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <Page> TAX-MANAGED VALUE PORTFOLIO AS OF APRIL 30, 2003 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1 Significant Accounting Policies - ------------------------------------------- Tax-Managed Value Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Portfolio, which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on February 13, 2001, seeks to achieve long-term after-tax returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of value securities, primarily in well-established U.S. companies. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At April 30, 2003, the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund held approximately 93.1% interest 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 Valuation -- Marketable securities, including options, that are listed on foreign or U.S. securities exchanges are valued at closing sale prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Marketable securities listed in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sale prices are not available are generally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Futures positions on securities or currencies are generally valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. 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. Over-the-counter options are normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked price. Investments 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. B Income -- Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. 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. 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 on its share of taxable income. Since the Portfolio's investors include 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 investment income, net realized capital gains, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit. D Financial Futures Contract -- Upon entering 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 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 price of current or anticipated Portfolio positions. Should prices move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. E Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of 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 significant credit balances used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. 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 income 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 Statements -- The interim financial statements relating to April 30, 2003 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by <Page> TAX-MANAGED VALUE PORTFOLIO AS OF APRIL 30, 2003 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONT'D independent certified public accountants, 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 in the amount of 13/240 of 1% (equal to 0.650% annually) of average daily net assets of the Portfolio up to $500 million, and at reduced rates as daily net assets exceed that level. For the six months ended April 30, 2003, the advisory fee amounted to $1,813,016. 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 out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated with BMR 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 April 30, 2003, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations. 3 Investment Transactions - ------------------------------------------- Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $251,337,338 and $238,150,345 respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2003. 4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) - ------------------------------------------- The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investments owned at April 30, 2003, as computed on a federal income tax basis, were as follows: <Table> AGGREGATE COST $519,102,083 ------------------------------------------------------ Gross unrealized appreciation $ 59,562,371 Gross unrealized depreciation (2,570,245) ------------------------------------------------------ NET UNREALIZED APPRECIATION $ 56,992,126 ------------------------------------------------------ </Table> 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 April 30, 2003. 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 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 April 30, 2003. <Page> INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TAX-MANAGED VALUE PORTFOLIO Officers Duncan W.
