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 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. This description is also available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.



 

Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust as of June 30, 2005

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

The Trust

 

Performance for the Period ended June 30, 2005

 

      Based on its June 2005 monthly dividend payment of $0.041 and a closing share price of $8.04, Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust, a closed-end fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Trust”), had a market yield of 6.12%.(1)

 

      Based on share price (traded on the New York Stock Exchange), the Trust had a total return of -10.42% for the year ended June 30, 2005.  That return was the result of a decrease in share price from $9.46 on June 30, 2004 to $8.04 on June 30, 2005 and the reinvestment of $0.456 in regular monthly dividends.(2)

 

      Based on net asset value, the Trust had a total return of 5.16% for the year ended June 30, 2005. That return was the result of a decrease in net asset value per share from $8.78 on June 30, 2004 to $8.76 on June 30, 2005, and the reinvestment of all distributions.(2)

 

      For performance comparison, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index – an unmanaged index of U.S. dollar-denominated leveraged loans – had a total return of 4.33% for the year ended June 30, 2005.(3)

 

Management Discussion

 

      The Trust’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, consistent with preservation of capital, by investing primarily in senior, secured loans.

 

      The Trust’s investments in senior floating-rate loans represented 373 borrowers at June 30, 2005 and reflected a continued effort at diversification. The Trust’s average loan size was just 0.23% of loan assets, and no industry constituted more than 7% of the Trust’s total loan investments. Building and development (which includes companies that manage/own apartments, shopping malls and commercial office buildings, among others), health care, cable and satellite telvision, leisure goods/activities/movies and publishing were the Trust’s largest sector weightings.*

 

      Credit conditions remained relatively strong during the period, as companies in the Trust generally produced sufficient cash flow to meet debt service requirements. No specific sectors significantly underperformed within the Trust’s portfolio. At this point in the credit cycle, we currently expect to maintain a relatively high quality portfolio, especially given the heightened liquidity and general loosening of credit standards.

 

      Supply-and-demand factors for the loan asset class varied during the period, resulting in a small downward movement in the Trust’s NAV per share. Demand exceeded supply in the first quarter of 2005, but waned slightly in the second quarter, as certain crossover investors sold loans to take advantage of wider spreads in the high-yield bond market. At the end of the period, with the loan supply having steadied, technical factors appeared to be more balanced.

 

      Due to tight credit spreads in the high-yield bond market in the fall of 2004, the Trust continued to limit its exposure. As a percentage of each of net assets and total investments, high-yield bonds represented 16.5 and 9.7%, respectively, at June 30, 2005. A relatively low weighting limited potential NAV volatility when high-yield spreads widened in the first quarter of 2005.

 

      At June 30, 2005, the Trust had leverage in the amount of approximately 42% of the Trust’s total assets. The Trust employs leverage through the issuance of Auction Preferred Shares (APS) and participation in a commercial paper program. Use of financial leverage creates an opportunity for increased income, but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. Such increases in cost of the Trust’s leverage may be offset by increased income from the Trust’s senior loan investments.

 


*      Holdings and industry weightings are subject to change due to active management.

 

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or share 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 Trust’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

 

Shares of the Trust 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. Yield will vary.

 


(1)  The Trust’s market yield is calculated by dividing the most recent dividend per share by the share market price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.

 

(2)  Performance results reflect the effect of leverage resulting from the Trust’s issuance of Auction Preferred Shares and its participation in a commercial paper program.

 

(3)  It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return reflects changes in value of the loans comprising the Index and accrual of interest and does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the loans represented in the Index. Unlike the Trust, the Index’s return does not reflect the effect of leverage, such as the issuance of Auction Preferred Shares.

 

(4)  In the event of a rise in long-term interest rates, the value of the Trust’s investment portfolio could decline, which would reduce the asset coverage for its Auction Preferred Shares.

PIK - Payment In Kind.

(1)  Senior floating-rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the senior floating-rate interests will have an expected average life of approximately two to three years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the "Prime Rate") and the certificate of deposit ("CD") rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.

(2)  Defaulted security. Currently the issuer is in default with respect to interest payments.

(3)  Unfunded loan commitments. See Note 1E for description.

(4)  Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Trust.

(5)  Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2005, the aggregate value of the securities is $14,205,595 or 4.4% of the net assets.

(6)  Non-income producing security.

(7)  Restricted security.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1  Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust (the Trust) is an entity commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a closed-end management investment company. The Trust's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital, by investing primarily in senior, secured floating rate loans. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust 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 - The Trust's investments are primarily in interests in senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans). Certain Senior Loans are deemed to be liquid because reliable market quotations are readily available for them. Liquid Senior Loans are valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the Trust's investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management (EVM), under procedures approved by the Trustees. In connection with determining the fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser makes an assessment of the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan. The primary factors considered by the investment adviser when making this assessment are (i) the creditworthiness of the borrower, (ii) the value of the collateral backing the Senior Loan, and (iii) the priority of the Senior Loan versus other creditors of the borrower. If, based on its assessment, the investment adviser believes there is a reasonable likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan, the investment adviser will determine the fair value of the Senior Loan using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan relative to yields on other loan interests issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If, based on its assessment, the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan, the investment adviser will determine the fair value of the Senior Loan using analyses that include, but are not limited to (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower's outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower's assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising such factors, data and information and the relative weight to be given thereto as it deems relevant, including without limitation, some or all of the following: (i) the fundamental characteristics of and fundamental analytical data relating to the Senior Loan, including the cost, size, current interest rate, maturity and base lending rate of the Senior Loan, the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan and any related agreements, and the position of the Senior Loan in the Borrower's debt structure; (ii) the nature, adequacy and value of the collateral securing the Senior Loan, including the Trust's rights, remedies and interests with respect to the collateral; (iii) the creditworthiness of the Borrower, based on an evaluation of, among other things, its financial condition, financial statements and information about the Borrower's business, cash flows, capital structure and future prospects; (iv) information relating to the market for the Senior Loan, including price quotations for and trading in the Senior Loan and interests in similar Senior Loans and the market environment and investor attitudes towards the Senior Loan and interests in similar Senior Loans; (v) the experience, reputation, stability and financial condition of the agent and any intermediate participants in the Senior Loan; and (vi) general economic and market conditions affecting the fair value of the Senior Loan.

Debt obligations (other than short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less), including listed securities and securities for which price quotations are available and forward contracts, will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations furnished by dealers or pricing services. Financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges and options thereon are valued at closing settlement prices. Over-the-counter options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by dealers. Marketable securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. The value of interest rate swaps will be based upon a dealer quotation. Short-term obligations and money market securities maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates value. Investments for which reliable 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 Trust. Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign securities may occur between the time trading is completed abroad and the close of the Exchange which will not be reflected in the computation of the Trust's net asset value (unless the Trust deems that such event would materially affect its net asset value in which case an adjustment would be made

28



Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust as of June 30, 2005

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

and reflected in such computation). The Trust may rely on an independent fair valuation service in making any such adjustment as to the value of foreign equity securities.

B  Income - Interest income from Senior Loans is recorded on the accrual basis at the then-current interest rate, while all other interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.

C  Federal Taxes - The Trust'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 all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At June 30, 2005, the Trust, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $48,441,238, which will expire on June 30, 2009 ($490,673), June 30, 2010 ($27,557,475), June 30, 2011 ($13,711,847) and June 30, 2012 ($6,681,243). These amounts will reduce the Trust's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any , to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Trust of any liability for federal income or excise tax.

D  Credit Default Swaps - The Trust may enter into credit default swap contracts for risk management purposes, including diversification. When the Trust is a buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Trust is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty to the contract in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation. In return, the Trust would pay the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Trust would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefit from the contract. When the Trust is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay upon default of the referenced debt obligations. As the seller, the Trust would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Trust would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The Trust will segregate assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the credit default swap of which it is the seller, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.

E  Unfunded Loan Commitments - The Trust may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Trust is obligated to fund these commitments at the Borrower's discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments.

F  Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Trust. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances the Trust maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Trust's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the statement of operations.

G  Use of Estimates - The preparation of 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.

H  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 of the Trust and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

I  Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2  Auction Preferred Shares (APS)

The Trust issued 2,200 shares of APS Series A and 2,200 shares of APS Series B on June 27, 2001 in a public offering. The underwriting discount and other offering costs were recorded as a reduction to paid in capital. Dividends on the APS, which accrue daily, are paid cumulatively at a rate which was established at the offering

29



Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust as of June 30, 2005

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

of the APS and have been reset every 7 days thereafter by an auction. Dividend rates ranged from 0.85% to 3.40% for Series A and 1.22% to 3.30% for Series B, during the year ended June 30, 2005. Series A and Series B are identical in all respects except for the dates of reset for the dividend rates.

The APS are redeemable at the option of the Trust at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends on any dividend payment date. The APS are also subject to mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if the Trust is in default for an extended period on its asset maintenance requirements with respect to the APS. If the dividends on the APS shall remain unpaid in an amount equal to two full years' dividends, the holders of the APS as a class have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Trustees. In general, the holders of the APS and the common shares have equal voting rights of one vote per share, except that the holders of the APS, as a separate class, have the right to elect at least two members of the Board of Trustees. The APS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Trust is required to maintain certain asset coverage with respect to the APS as defined in the Trust's By-Laws and the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust pays annual fees equivalent to 0.25% of the preferred shares' liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auctions.

The Trust intends to make monthly distributions to common shareholders of net investment income, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and are payable at the end of each dividend period. Each dividend payment period for the APS is generally seven days. The applicable dividend rate for the APS on June 30, 2005 was 2.95% and 2.949%, for Series A and Series B shares, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2005, the Trust paid dividends to APS shareholders amounting to $1,248,582 and $1,245,061 for Series A and Series B shares, respectively, representing an average APS dividend rate for such period of 2.24.% and 2.24%, respectively.

The Trust distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principals 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. These differences relate primarily to the differences between book and tax accounting for swaps.

The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 were as follows:

    Year Ended June 30,  
    2005   2004  
Distributions declared from:  
Ordinary income   $ 19,096,925     $ 17,392,630    

 

During the year ended June 30, 2005, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $71,661 and accumulated net realized loss was increased by $71,661 due to differences between book and tax accounting for investment transactions. This change had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

At June 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed income   $ 1,663,124    
Unrealized gain   $ 4,415,063    
Capital loss carryforwards   $ (48,441,238 )  

 

4  Common Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional $0.01 par value common shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in common shares were as follows:

    Year Ended June 30,  
    2005   2004  
Issued to shareholders electing to receive
payments of distributions in Fund shares
    143,404       279,215    
Net increase     143,404       279,215    

 

5  Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser fee, computed at a monthly rate of 17/240 of 1% (0.85% annually) of the Trust's average weekly gross assets, was earned by EVM as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Trust. For the year ended June 30, 2005, the fee was equivalent to 0.85% of the Trust's average weekly gross

assets and amounted to $4,684,516. Except for Trustees of the Trust who are not members of EVM's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Trust out of such investment adviser fee. EVM also serves as the administrator of the Trust. An administration fee, computed at the monthly rate of 1/48 of 1% (0.25% annually) of the average weekly gross assets of the Trust, is paid to EVM for managing and administering business affairs of the Trust. For the year ended June 30, 2005, the fee was equivalent to 0.25% of the Trust's average weekly gross assets for such period and amounted to $1,377,799.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are officers of the above organization.

6  Investment Transactions

The Trust invests primarily in Senior Loans. The ability of the issuers of the Senior Loans held by the Trust to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry. The cost of purchases and the proceeds from principal repayments and sales of Senior Loans, corporate bonds and equities aggregated $383,653,148 and $376,150,293, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2005.

7  Short-Term Debt and Credit Agreements

The Trust has entered into a revolving credit agreement that will allow the Trust to borrow $120 million to support the issuance of commercial paper and to permit the Trust to invest in accordance with its investment practices. Interest is charged under the revolving credit agreement at the bank's base rate or at an amount above either the bank's adjusted certificate of deposit rate or federal funds effective rate. Interest expense includes commercial paper program fees of approximately $364,000 and a commitment fee of approximately $182,000 which is computed at the annual rate of 0.15% on the unused portion of the revolving credit agreement. There were no significant borrowings under this agreement during the period. As of June 30, 2005, the Trust had commercial paper outstanding of $120,000,000, at an interest rate of 3.14% and is reflected in the demand note payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Maximum and average borrowings for the year ended June 30, 2005 were $120,000,000 and $120,000,000, respectively, and the average interest rate was 2.14%.

8  Financial Instruments

The Trust may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities and to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, financial futures contracts, interest rate swaps, and credit default swaps 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 Trust 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. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at June 30, 2005 is as follows:

Credit Default Swaps  
Notional
Amount
  Expiration
Date
  Description   Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
 
$ 1,400,000     9/20/2008   Agreement with Credit Suisse/First Boston dated 2/6/2004 whereby the Trust will receive 2.45% per year
times the notional amount. The Trust makes a payment only upon a default event on underlying loan assets
(47 in total, each representing 2.128% of the notional value of the swap).
  $ 23,692    
$ 1,500,000     3/20/2010   Agreement with Lehman Brothers dated 3/15/2005 whereby the Trust will receive 2.20% per year times
the notional amount. The Trust makes a payment of the notional amount only upon a default event on the
reference entity, a Revolving Credit Agreement issued by Inergy, L.P.
    (17,302 )  

 

At June 30, 2005, the Trust had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover potential obligations arising from open swap contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Senior Income Trust (the Trust), including the portfolio of investments as of June 30, 2005, the related statements of operations and cash flows 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 Trust'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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and Senior Loans owned as of June 30, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and selling or agent banks; where replies were not received from selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust as of June 30, 2005, the results of its operations and its cashflows for the year then ended, the changes in its 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, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Trust offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) pursuant to which shareholders automatically have dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested in common shares (the Shares) of the Trust unless they elect otherwise through their investment dealer. On the distribution payment date, if the net asset value per Share is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions then new Shares will be issued. The number of Shares shall be determined by the greater of the net asset value per Share or 95% of the market price. Otherwise, Shares generally will be purchased on the open market by the Plan Agent. Distributions subject to income tax (if any) are taxable whether or not shares are reinvested.

If your shares are in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you can ask the firm or nominee to participate in the Plan on your behalf. If the nominee does not offer the Plan, you will need to request that your shares be re-registered in your name with the Trust's transfer agent, PFPC Inc. or you will not be able to participate.

The Plan Agent's service fee for handling distributions will be paid by the Trust. Each participant will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.

Plan participants may withdraw from the Plan at any time by writing to the Plan Agent at the address noted on the following page. If you withdraw, you will receive shares in your name for all Shares credited to your account under the Plan. If a participant elects by written notice to the Plan Agent to have the Plan Agent sell part or all of his or her Shares and remit the proceeds, the Plan Agent is authorized to deduct a $5.00 fee plus brokerage commissions from the proceeds.

If you wish to participate in the Plan and your shares are held in your own name, you may complete the form on the following page and deliver it to the Plan Agent.

Any inquires regarding the Plan can be directed to the Plan Agent, PFPC Inc. at 1-800-331-1710.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The investment advisory agreement between Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust (the "Fund") and the investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management ("Eaton Vance"), provides that the advisory agreement will continue in effect from year to year so long as its continuance is approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the noninterested Trustees of the Fund cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval and (ii) by the Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding interests of the Fund.

In considering the annual approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the investment adviser, the Special Committee of the Board of Trustees considered information that had been provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for a series of meetings held in February and March in preparation for a Board meeting held on March 21, 2005 to specifically consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement. Such information included, among other things, the following:

•  An independent report comparing the advisory fees of the Fund with those of comparable funds;

•  An independent report comparing the expense ratio of the Fund to those of comparable funds;

•  Information regarding Fund investment performance (including on a risk-adjusted basis) in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;

•  The economic outlook and the general investment outlook in relevant investment markets;

•  Eaton Vance's results and financial condition and the overall organization of the investment adviser;

•  The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of Fund assets including in particular the valuation of senior loan portfolios and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;

•  Eaton Vance's management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants;

•  The resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by Eaton Vance on behalf of the funds it manages and the record of compliance with the investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions;

•  The quality, nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates; and

•  The terms of the advisory agreement and the reasonableness and appropriateness of the particular fee paid by the Fund for the services described therein.

The Special Committee also considered the investment adviser's portfolio management capabilities, including information relating to the education, experience, and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide services under the investment advisory agreement. Specifically, the Special Committee considered the investment adviser's experience in managing senior loan portfolios. The Special Committee noted the experience of the 26 bank loan investment professionals and other personnel who would provide services under the investment advisory agreement, including four portfolio managers and 15 analysts. Many of these portfolio managers and analysts have previous experience working for commercial banks and other lending institutions. The Special Committee also took into account the time and attention to be devoted by senior management to the Fund and the other funds in the complex. The Special Committee evaluated the level of skill required to manage the Fund and concluded that the human resources available at the investment adviser were appropriate to fulfill its duties on behalf of the Fund.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D

In its review of comparative information with respect to the Fund's investment performance (including on a risk-adjusted basis), the Special Committee concluded that the Fund has performed within a range that the Special Committee deemed competitive. With respect to its review of the advisory fees paid by the Fund and the Fund's expense ratio, the Special Committee noted the benefits that have accrued to shareholders as a result of the financial resources committed by Eaton Vance in structuring the Fund at the time of its initial public offering and concluded that the fees paid by the Fund and the Fund's expense ratio are reasonable.

In addition to the factors mentioned above, the Special Committee reviewed the level of the investment adviser's profits in providing investment management and administration services for the Fund and for all Eaton Vance funds as a group. In addition, the Special Committee considered the fiduciary duty assumed by the investment adviser in connection with the services rendered to the Fund and the business reputation of the investment adviser and its financial resources. The Trustees concluded that in light of the services rendered, the profits realized by the investment adviser are not unreasonable. The Special Committee also considered the fact that the Fund is not continuously offered and concluded that, in light of the level of the investment adviser's profits with respect to the Fund, the implementation of breakpoints is not appropriate.

The Special Committee did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to renew the investment advisory agreement. Nor are the items described herein all the matters considered by the Special Committee. In assessing the information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates, the Special Committee also took into consideration the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds which provides a large variety of shareholder services.

Based on its consideration of the foregoing factors and conclusions, and such other factors and conclusions as it deemed relevant, and assisted by independent counsel, the Special Committee concluded that the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, including the fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders.

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) The following table presents (i) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed for services rendered to the registrant by its principal accountant for the registrant’s last two fiscal years; and (ii) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed for services rendered to the Eaton Vance organization for the registrant’s last two fiscal years.

(1) Eaton Vance Management, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., acts as the registrant’s investment adviser and administrator.

 

(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.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

 

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the “Fund Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Fund’s investment adviser and adopted the investment adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policies”) which are described below.  The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year.  In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board’s Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy.  The Board’s Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.

 

The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a company’s management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders.  The investment adviser will generally support company management on proposals relating to environmental and social policy issues, on matters regarding the state of organization of the company and routine matters related to corporate administration which are not expected to have a significant economic impact on the company or its shareholders.  On all other matters, the investment adviser will review each matter on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to deviate from the Policies’ guidelines when it believes the situation warrants such a deviation.  The Policies include voting guidelines for matters relating to, among other things, the election of directors, approval of independent auditors, executive compensation, corporate structure and anti-takeover defenses.  The investment adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote.

 

In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients.  The investment adviser’s personnel responsible for reviewing and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from a company included on that list to members of senior management of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. Such members of senior management will determine if a conflict exists.  If a conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.

 

Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

 



 

Item 8. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

 

No such purchases this period.

 

Item 9.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

Effective February 7, 2005, the Governance Committee of the Board of Trustees revised the procedures by which a Fund’s shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s Board of Trustees to add the following (highlighted):

 

 The Governance Committee shall, when identifying candidates for the position of Independent Trustee, consider any such candidate recommended by a shareholder of a Fund if such recommendation contains  (i)sufficient background information concerning the candidate, including evidence the candidate is willing to serve as an Independent Trustee if selected for the position; and (ii) is received in a sufficiently timely manner (and in any event no later than the date specified for receipt of shareholder proposals in any applicable proxy statement with respect to a Fund).  Shareholders shall be directed to address any such recommendations in writing to the attention of the Governance Committee, c/o the Secretary of the Fund. The Secretary shall retain copies of any shareholder recommendations which meet the foregoing requirements for a period of not more than 12 months following receipt. The Secretary shall have no obligation to acknowledge receipt of any shareholder recommendations.
