FAUST JR.] Thomas E. Faust Jr. President During the year ended December 31, 2003, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 had a total return of 23.39% for Class A shares.(1) This return resulted from an increase in net asset value (NAV) to $20.80 per share on December 31, 2003, from $16.92 per share on December 31, 2002, and the reinvestment of $0.076 per share in income dividends. For Class B, the total return was 22.50% for the same period, based on an increase in NAV per share to $19.76 from $16.13.(1) For Class C, the total return was 22.47% for the same period, based on an increase in NAV per share to $18.97 from $15.49.(1) For Class I, the total return was 23.76%, based on an increase in NAV per share to $9.89 from $8.03, and the reinvestment of $0.047 per share in income dividends.(1) For Class S, the total return was 23.58%, based on an increase in NAV per share to $20.88 from $16.97 and the reinvestment of $0.091 per share in income dividends.(1) (See page 6 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.

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 market was a function of a favorable economic environment: historically low interest and inflation rate levels, coupled with robust earnings growth, tax rebates, and continued consumer strength. While the Fund's absolute performance for the year of 23.39% (for Class A shares at NAV) 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 discretionary, 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 continued 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 contributed 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 utilities 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 reasonable 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 3 <Page> slowdown or bear market. Because of the Portfolio's policy of investing in higher-quality securities and its valuation discipline, its performance 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 investments in companies with strong business franchises 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 that 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.

Investment operations commenced 3/28/96. The chart uses closest month-end after inception. The charts compare the Fund's total return with that of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. The lines on the charts represent the total returns of $10,000 hypothetical investments in Class A or Class B of the Fund and in the S&P 500 Index. An investment in the Fund's Class C shares on 8/2/96 at net asset value would have grown to $18,970 on December 31, 2003. An investment in the Fund's Class I shares on 7/2/99 at net asset value would have decreased to $9,938 on December 31, 2003. An investment in the Fund's Class S shares on 5/14/99 at net asset value would have decreased to $9,987 on December 31, 2003. Graphs and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The Index's total return does not reflect any commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. ** Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value with all distributions reinvested. SEC returns for Class A reflect the maximum 5.75% sales charge. SEC returns for Class B reflect applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC 1-Year return for Class C reflects 1% CDSC. Class I and Class S shares generally do not have a sales charge. Past performance 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. 5 <Page> EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.1 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.

Returns at Public Offering Price (POP) reflect the deduction of the maximum sales charge and applicable CDSC, while Returns at Net Asset Value (NAV) do not. 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. 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 greater than Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same 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. 6 <Page> EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.1 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 <Table> ASSETS Investment in Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio, at value (identified cost, $2,708,473,990) $ 4,169,554,954 Receivable for Fund shares sold 674,967 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL ASSETS $ 4,170,229,921 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIABILITIES Payable for Fund shares redeemed $ 9,689,876 Payable to affiliate for distribution and service fees 180,161 Payable to affiliate for Trustees' fees 891 Accrued expenses 1,362,612 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL LIABILITIES $ 11,233,540 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NET ASSETS $ 4,158,996,381 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOURCES OF NET ASSETS Paid-in capital $ 3,351,412,081 Accumulated net realized loss from Portfolio (computed on the basis of identified cost) (653,497,444) Accumulated undistributed net investment income 780 Net unrealized appreciation from Portfolio (computed on the basis of identified cost) 1,461,080,964 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL $ 4,158,996,381 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLASS A SHARES NET ASSETS $ 982,531,029 SHARES OUTSTANDING 47,233,510 NET ASSET VALUE AND REDEMPTION PRICE PER SHARE (net assets DIVIDED BY shares of beneficial interest outstanding) $ 20.80 MAXIMUM OFFERING PRICE PER SHARE (100 DIVIDED BY 94.25 of $20.80) $ 22.07 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLASS B SHARES NET ASSETS $ 2,321,778,993 SHARES OUTSTANDING 117,488,471 NET ASSET VALUE, OFFERING PRICE AND REDEMPTION PRICE PER SHARE (net assets DIVIDED BY shares of beneficial interest outstanding)$ 19.76 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLASS C SHARES NET ASSETS $ 818,714,702 SHARES OUTSTANDING 43,156,108 NET ASSET VALUE, OFFERING PRICE AND REDEMPTION PRICE PER SHARE (net assets DIVIDED BY shares of beneficial interest outstanding) $ 18.97 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLASS I SHARES NET ASSETS $ 679,293 SHARES OUTSTANDING 68,700 NET ASSET VALUE, OFFERING PRICE AND REDEMPTION PRICE PER SHARE (net assets DIVIDED BY shares of beneficial interest outstanding) $ 9.89 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLASS S SHARES NET ASSETS $ 35,292,364 SHARES OUTSTANDING 1,689,902 NET ASSET VALUE AND REDEMPTION PRICE PER SHARE (net assets DIVIDED BY shares of beneficial interest outstanding) $ 20.88 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ </Table> On sales of $50,000 or more, the offering price of Class A shares is reduced.

SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 13 <Page> EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.1 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds 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 has five classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 6). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class S shares were issued in connection with the acquisition of a private investment company and are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. 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 (23.7% 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. At December 31, 2003, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $249,082,424 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, 2010 ($99,588,672), December 31, 2009 ($149,077,591), and December 31, 2007 ($416,161). E OTHER -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 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. 14 <Page> 2 DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS The Fund's policy is to distribute annually (normally in December) substantially all of the net investment income allocated to the Fund by the Portfolio (less the Fund's direct expenses) and to distribute annually 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 reclassified 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).

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. Effective August 1, 2002, EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives an aggregate fee based on actual expenses incurred by EVM for the performance of these services. For the year ended December 31, 2003, EVM earned $383,281 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 advisor 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 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. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), a subsidiary of EVM and the Fund's principal underwriter, received $75,460 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended December 31, 2003. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations. 15 <Page> 5 DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN The Fund has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and a service plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) (collectively, the Plans). The Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 1/365 of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for the Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 6) and daily amounts theretofore paid to EVD by each respective class. The Fund paid or accrued $16,371,795 and $5,822,328 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, to or payable to EVD for the year ended December 31, 2003, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets for Class B and Class C shares. At December 31, 2003, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges EVD calculated under the Plan were approximately $69,162,698 and $86,109,810 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. The Plans authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, investment dealers and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, and Class C shares for any fiscal year. Service fee payments will be made for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable by the Fund to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended December 31, 2003 amounted to $2,344,021, $5,457,265, and $1,940,776 for Class A, Class B, and Class C shares, respectively. Pursuant to a servicing agreement, the Fund makes service fee payments in the amount of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares to EVD, one half of which is paid to a subagent. The Fund paid or accrued service fees to or payable to EVD for the year ended December 31, 2003 in the amount of $67,879. 6 CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is generally imposed on any redemption of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on any redemption of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Class B CDSC is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM, its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSC pertaining to Class B and Class C shares are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Plans (see Note 5). CDSC assessed on Class B and Class C shares received when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to the Fund. EVD received approximately $178, $5,168,272 and $18,158 of CDSC paid by shareholders for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003. 7 INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio aggregated $86,129,125 and $772,160,826, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003. 16 <Page> EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.1 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EATON VANCE MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH FUND 1.1: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 (the Fund) (one of the series constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds 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 period 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 1.1 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.

SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 31 <Page> 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 1.1 held an approximate 23.7% interest in the Portfolio and one other investor owned an interest greater than 10% that equaled 63.1%. 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 32 <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> 33 <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. <Table> <Caption> DATE OF DESCRIPTION ACQUISITION SHARES COST FAIR VALUE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applied Materials, Inc. 12/17/03 543,250 $ 11,575,935 $ 12,183,767 eBay, Inc 5/13/03 200,000 9,466,769 12,909,926 eBay, Inc. 2/19/03 318,000 12,143,667 20,534,485 KLA-Tencor Corp. 12/17/03 50,000 2,744,377 2,929,100 Sysco Corp. 12/17/03 32,036 1,157,644 1,190,911 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 37,088,392 $ 49,748,18934 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </Table> 34 <Page> 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.

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.
