EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.0 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
[PHOTO OF THOMAS E. FAUST JR.]
THOMAS E. FAUST JR.
PRESIDENT
During the year ended December 31, 2003, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0
had a total return of 23.86%.(1) This return resulted from an increase in net
asset value (NAV) to $493.87 per share on December 31, 2003, from $410.04 per
share Thomas E. Faust Jr. on December 31, 2002, and a President distribution of
$4.55 per share in dividend income and $8.904 per share in capital gains. (See
page 5 for more performance information, including the Fund's after-tax
performance.)
For comparison,the average total return (before taxes) for mutual funds in the
Lipper Multi-Cap Core Classification was 29.94% during the period, and the S&P
500 Index - an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks commonly used as a measure
of U.S. stock market performance - had a total return of 28.67%.(2)
A WELCOME RECOVERY IN THE U.S. EQUITY MARKET IN 2003...
During the year ended December 31, 2003, stocks posted their first positive
finish since 1999, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average finishing 2003 with a
gain of just over 25%.(2) After a shaky start to the year, fueled by concerns
about the war in Iraq and mixed economic data, the market found its way back to
positive territory amid a historically low interest rate environment and
increasingly encouraging economic news. While stocks still have a long way to go
towards recovering the significant losses of the three-year bear market,
investor sentiment was marked by relief and renewed enthusiasm. Since October
2002, when the market bottomed, through year-end 2003, the Dow rose more than
45% and the Nasdaq Composite Index, which is composed primarily of more volatile
growth stocks, was up 80%.
A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT STRATEGY - AN INVESTOR'S BEST WEAPON AGAINST MARKET
VOLATILITY ...
If the market's behavior over the past few years has illustrated one thing, it
is the importance of a long-term investment strategy. We feel optimistic that
the recovery we've seen in the U.S. equity markets to date can be sustained, and
that investors can best take advantage of the opportunities this presents by
sticking to a long-term horizon. Our analyst team stands poised to seek out
further opportunities in the year ahead. As investors, we at Eaton Vance believe
that the cornerstones of a good long-term investment program are broad
diversification and research-driven stock selection.
For more information about the performance of the Fund in 2003, please read the
interview with Portfolio Manager Duncan W. Richardson that appears on the

EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.0 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AN INTERVIEW WITH DUNCAN W. RICHARDSON, PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF TAX-MANAGED GROWTH
PORTFOLIO. MR. RICHARDSON IS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EQUITY INVESTMENT
OFFICER OF EATON VANCE.
[PHOTO OF DUNCAN W. RICHARDSON]
DUNCAN W. RICHARDSON
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
Q: Duncan, let's start with an overview of the year.
A: MR. RICHARDSON: The U.S. equity markets experienced a successful 2003, with
most major indices posting their first double-digit gains in more than four
years. Strength in the broader mar-ket was a function of a favorable economic
environment: historically low interest and inflation rate levels, coupled
with robust earn-ings growth, tax rebates, and continued con-sumer strength.
While the Fund's absolute performance for the year of 23.86% was strong, the
Fund trailed the S&P 500 Index, which had a total return of 28.67%.*
Q: What drove the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark?
A: In 2003, the Portfolio's sector allocation remained relatively unaltered from
2002 in that the Portfolio continued to focus on investments in the
industrial, consumer dis-cretionary, and financials sectors. Although these
sectors performed well during 2003, the sub-par performance of stocks across
the constituent industries, and multi-line retail and aerospace defense names
in particular, hindered performance. The Portfolio's contin-ued
underweighting of the best performing sector of the year, information
technology, was another factor contributing to the Portfolio's relative
underperformance versus the S&P 500 Index.*
As in 2002, lack of earnings visibility and unattractive valuations compelled
the Portfolio's management to remain cautious on the sector. Similar
rationale prompted a de-emphasis of the telecommunications sector, which had
a positive impact on the Portfolio's returns.
Q: What were the positive factors that con-tributed to absolute performance?
A: During the year, management emphasized more economically sensitive
industries, such as consumer discretionary and energy, from 2002 levels. This
shift, especially with respect to investments in pro-cyclical industries,
such as consumer electronics, energy services, and oil and gas, was
particularly beneficial. Financial and health care investment also
contributed to relative performance in 2003, with strong performance by
consumer finance, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology investments. While the
Portfolio remained underweighted in the materials and the utili-ties sectors
during 2003, stock selections in the electric and gas utilities groups
positively impacted returns for the year.
Q: Did you make any major shifts in terms of the makeup of the Portfolio over
the course of the year?
A: We are continually making modifications to the Portfolio, preferring an
incremental approach over radical repositioning. We attempt to steer new
money into companies that we believe will be well positioned over the next
five years and are available at rea-sonable valuations. This research process
has resulted in a broadly diversified, higher-quality and low-volatility
Portfolio. In 2003, the market favored lower-quality and higher-volatility
securities, something that is not unusual when coming out of an economic
- - It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
slowdown or bear market. Because of the Portfolio's policy of investing in
higher-quality securities and its valuation discipline, its per-formance
lagged its benchmark and its more aggressive peers.
Eaton Vance believes the economic recovery will continue at a sustainable
pace, and the market will better reward quality companies that can
consistently deliver earnings. The longer-term success of the Portfolio will
be determined by the ability of our research staff to deliver superior stock
selection versus the benchmark. Quality investments are gradually gaining
strength in the market, and the Portfolio will continue to seek out
invest-ments in companies with strong business fran-chises and solid
long-term earnings prospects that trade at attractive valuations.
Q: Any closing thoughts?
A: The equity market in 2003 recovered a lot of lost ground. From here, more
modest annual returns should be expected. We believe the equity market will
advance with earnings because substantially lower interest rates that would
support higher valuation multiples are unlikely. We also believe the
Portfolio, with its investment approach of broad diversification, active risk
management and tax management, is particularly well suited for the continued
volatility we anticipate in the equity markets. Volatility is here to stay.
We believe our patient and valuation-sensitive approach is the best way to
counter the increasingly short-term focus of the market. In closing, I'd like
to thank fellow shareholders for their confidence in our team and their
continued participation in the Fund.

EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.0 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003
FUND PERFORMANCE
"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 would be 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 Fund shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held
by non-taxable entities. After-tax returns for 5 Years and 10 Years reflect
tax credits passed by the Fund to shareholders. 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, or because 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 higher than Return After Taxes on Distributions for that period
because of realized losses on the sale of Fund shares.
Past performance (both before and after taxes)is no guarantee of future
results. 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 different. Returns are historical and are
calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value with all
distributions reinvested.

EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.0 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the Fund), is a diversified series
of Eaton Vance Series Trust (the Trust). The Trust is an entity of the type
commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management
investment company. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in
interests of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio), a New York trust,
having the same investment objective as the Fund. The value of the Fund's
investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the
net assets of the Portfolio (5.6% at December 31, 2003). The performance of
the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The
financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Portfolio of
Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund 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 -- 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 consists of the Fund's pro rata
share of the net investment income of the Portfolio, less all actual and
accrued expenses of the Fund determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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.
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 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.
F OTHER -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis.
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
G 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.
2 DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Fund's policy is to distribute all or substantially all of the net
investment income allocated to the Fund by the Portfolio (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 differences
between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are re-classified
to paid-in capital.

number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par
value). Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.0 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF EATON VANCE SERIES TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF EATON VANCE
TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.0:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton
Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the Fund) (one of the series constituting
Eaton Vance Series Trust) as of December 31, 2003, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the five years in the year then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights 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 financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. 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, the financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 at December 31, 2003, the results of its operations
for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for the five years in the
period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

TAX-MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 provide
long-term after-tax returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity
securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests
in the Portfolio. At December 31, 2003, the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth
Fund 1.0 held an approximate 5.6% interest in the Portfolio and two other
investors owned an interest greater than 10% that equaled 86.8%. 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 -- 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 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 such
taxable income. 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 investment income, net realized capital gains or losses, 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 unexpectedly, 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 asset in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a purchased
option expires, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the
premium paid. 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 premium paid.
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 a security short if it owns
at least an equal amount of the security sold short or another security
exchangeable for an equal amount of the security sold short in anticipation
of a decline in the market price of the securities or in order to hedge
portfolio positions. The Portfolio will generally borrow the security sold in
order to make delivery to the buyer. 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. A gain
or loss is recorded when the security is delivered to
26
<Page>
the broker. The Portfolio may recognize a loss on the transaction if the
market value of the securities sold increases before the securities are
delivered.
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 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 the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal
course of business, the Fund 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 a trade-date basis.
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 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.
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 0.625% (annually) of average daily net assets of the Portfolio up
to $500,000,000 and at reduced rates as daily net assets exceed that level.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, the advisory fee was 0.44% 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 out of such
investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who 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, 2003, no significant
amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above
organizations.
3 INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended December 31, 2003, purchases and sales of investments,
other than short-term obligations, aggregated $2,315,531,044 and
$2,601,576,258, respectively. In addition, investments having an aggregate
market value of $701,210,532 at dates of withdrawal were distributed in
payment for capital withdrawals. During the year ended December 31, 2003,
investors contributed securities with a value of $789,740,742.
4 FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the
investments owned at December 31, 2003 as computed on a federal income tax
basis, were as follows:
<Table>
AGGREGATE COST $ 5,191,822,303
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 12,396,006,523
Gross unrealized depreciation (3,438,064)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NET UNREALIZED APPRECIATION $ 12,392,568,459
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
</Table>

<Page>
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 December 31, 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 year
ended December 31, 2003.
7 RESTRICTED SECURITIES
At December 31, 2003, the Portfolio owned the following securities
(representing 0.3% 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.

TAX-MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES AND INVESTORS OF TAX-MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) as
of December 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the two years in the period
then ended and the supplementary data for each of the five years ended in the
period then ended. 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 owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian.
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, the financial statements and supplementary data present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio
at December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
its supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
(a)-(d)
The following table presents aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2002, and 2003 by the registrant's principal
accountant for professional services rendered for the audit of the registrant's
annual financial statements and fees billed for other services rendered by the
principal accountant during those periods.
<Table>

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 2002

Audit Fees $ 10,506 $ 10,990
Audit-Related Fees(1) 0 0
Tax Fees(2) 5,200 5,100
All Other Fees(3) 0 0
--------------------------
Total $ 15,706 $ 16,090
==========================
</Table>
(1) Audit-related fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and
related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of
the registrant's financial statements and are not reported under the category of
audit fees.
<Page>
(2) Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services
rendered by the principal accountant relating to tax compliance, tax advice, and
tax planning and specifically include fees for tax return preparation and other
related tax compliance/planning matters
(3) All other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and
services provided by the registrant's principal accountant other than audit,
audit-related, and tax services.
(e)(1) The registrant's audit committee has adopted policies and procedures
relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant's principal
accountant (the "Pre-Approval Policies"). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a
framework intended to assist the audit committee in the proper discharge of its
pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies
(i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services
determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate
specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process,
including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees.
Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies,
it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.
The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services
pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant's audit
committee at least annually. The registrant's audit committee maintains full
responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of
the registrant's principal accountant.
(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the
registrant's audit committee pursuant to the "de minimis exception" set forth in
Rule 2-01 (c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) Aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other
services) billed by the registrant's principal accountant for services rendered
to the registrant for each of the registrant's last two fiscal years (2002 and
2003) were $5,100 and $5,200, respectively. Aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees
for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed by the registrant's principal
accountant for services rendered to the Eaton Vance organization (which includes
the registrant's investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by,
or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the
registrant) for each of the registrant's last two fiscal years (2002 and 2003)
were $ 336,546 and $458,168, respectively.
(h) The registrant's audit committee has considered whether the provision by the
registrant's principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant's
investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that
were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is
compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
