| | Only such information received from you, through application
forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund
transactions will be collected. This may include information
such as name, address, social security number, tax status,
account balances and transactions. |
| --- | --- |
| | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be
disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes
disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In
the normal course of servicing a customers account, Eaton
Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that
perform various required services such as transfer agents,
custodians and broker/dealers. |
| | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and
procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect
the confidentiality of such information. |
| | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time
upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review

link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc.
In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customers account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisers privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures.
For more information about Eaton Vances Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called householding and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of 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 at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SECs website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SECs 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 SECs website at www.sec.gov.

Economic and Market Conditions
Scott H. Page, CFA Co-Portfolio Manager
Peter M. Campo, CFA Co-Portfolio Manager
During the six months ending April 30, 2010, the U.S. economy continued to strengthen, building on the recovery that began in 2009. The economy grew at an annualized rate of 5.7% in the fourth quarter of 2009 and an estimated 3.2% in the first quarter of 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Growth was driven by government stimulus, increased business activity and a recovery in consumer spending. During the period, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) left short-term interest rates near zero but began unwinding various emergency programs that were designed to stabilize the financial system during the crisis. Meanwhile, corporate profits rebounded as business activity improved and productivity rose. We also saw the mounting effects of the governments ongoing stimulus plan, which significantly increased the federal deficit and U.S. Treasury borrowing. Long- term interest rates were essentially unchanged during the period, while riskier assets continued to perform well as credit yield spreads tightened.
The floating-rate loan market, as measured by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the Index), returned 9.57% during the six-month period ending April 30, 2010. 1 Performance was driven by a combination of technical and fundamental improvements, which strengthened both the supply/demand balance and the market outlook. From a technical standpoint, robust high-yield bond issuance and improving mergers and acquisitions and IPO markets had the effect of reducing loan supply. High-yield bond issuance alone was responsible for $13 billion of loan repayments in the first quarter of 2010, according to Standard & Poors Leveraged Commentary & Data. On the demand side, we saw steady inflows into the asset class, as investors sought more-favorable yields and protection from the anticipated rise in short-term interest rates. From a fundamental standpoint, earnings across the bank loan universe generally improved and default rates continued to decline.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Trusts performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price performance generally reflects investment results over time, during shorter periods, returns at market price can also be affected by factors such as changing perceptions about the Trust, market conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for the Trusts shares, or changes in Trust distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Trusts current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
Trust shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
Management Discussion
Craig P. Russ Co-Portfolio Manager
The Trust is a closed-end fund and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol EFR. The Trusts investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, it may also seek preservation of capital to the extent consistent with its primary goal of high current income. Under normal market conditions, the Trust invests at least 80% of its total assets in senior, secured floating-rate loans (senior loans). In managing the Trust, the investment adviser seeks to invest in a portfolio of senior loans that it believes will be less volatile over time than the general loan market. The Trust may also invest in second lien loans and high-yield bonds, and, as discussed below, employs leverage to acquire additional income-producing securities, which may increase risk.
| Total Return Performance 10/31/09 4/30/10 — NYSE Symbol | EFR | |
|---|---|---|
| At Net Asset Value (NAV) 2 | 14.18 % | |
| At Market Price 2 | 34.40 | |
| S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index 1 | 9.57 | |
| Premium/(Discount) to NAV (4/30/10) | 11.52 % | |
| Total Distributions per common share | $ | 0.594 |
| Distribution Rate 3 | At NAV | 6.79 % |
| At Market Price | 6.09 % |
See page 3 for more performance information.
| 1 | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indexs total return reflects
changes in value of the loans constituting 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
Indexs return does not reflect the effect of leverage. |
| --- | --- |
| 2 | Six-month returns are cumulative. Performance results reflect the effects of
leverage. |
| 3 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Trusts last regular distribution per share
(annualized) divided by the Trusts NAV or market price at the end of the period. The
Trusts distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and
return of capital. Absent an expense waiver by the investment adviser, the returns would be
lower. |

Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust as of April 30, 2010 I N V E S T M E N T U P D A T E
| | As of April 30, 2010, the Trusts investments included senior loans to 370 borrowers spanning
38 industries, with an average loan representing 0.24% of total investments, and no industry
constituting more than 10.3% of total investments. Health care, business equipment and services,
and cable and satellite television were among the top industry weightings. |
| --- | --- |
| | Managements use of leverage was a factor in the Trusts outperformance of the Index, as its loans
acquired with borrowings were bolstered by the continued rally in the credit markets. However, the
Trusts slight underweight to the CCC ratings category in favor of higher quality issues was a
headwind during the period, as lower-quality issues outperformed. The CCC rated loan category,
which saw the largest declines in 2008 (down 45.8%), returned 88.6% in calendar 2009, and 20.4%
during the six months ending April 30, 2010. Even defaulted loans outperformed the Index as a
whole, posting a 21.6% return during the six-month period. However, we believe that the Trusts
longstanding underweight to riskier loan issuers has benefited its relative performance over the
longer-term with less volatility. |
| | In terms of industry sectors, relative overweights to the business equipment and services, cable
and satellite television and health care industries benefited relative performance. Underweight
positions in the electronics, financial intermediaries and utilities industries detracted from
performance relative to the Index. |
| | While significant economic and business risks continue to exist throughout the world, we believe
the loan market should remain relatively stable in the near term. The Trust primarily invests in
floating-rate securities, which means that if the Fed should increase rates out of concern about
inflation, the Trusts yield can be expected to rise. The reset of interest payable on
floating-rate bank loans also helps to mitigate the effect of rising interest rates on bank loan
funds, while fixed-income fund values generally fall in a rising interest rate environment. |
| | As of April 30, 2010, the Trust employed leverage of 35.8% of total assets16.7% auction preferred
shares (APS) 1 and 19.1% borrowings. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for 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). |
1 APS percentage represents the liquidation value of the Trusts APS outstanding at 4/30/10 as a percentage of the Trusts net assets applicable to common shares plus APS and borrowings outstanding. In the event of a rise in long-term interest rates, the value of the Trusts investment portfolio could decline, which would reduce the asset coverage for its APS and borrowings.
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information provided in the report may not be representative of the Trusts current or future investments and may change due to active management.

reflection of the issuers current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by
a rating agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a
securitys market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. If securities
are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. |

|---|---|
| (1) | Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) often require |
| prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to | |
| repay at their 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, Senior Loans will have an expected | |
| average life of approximately two to four years. The stated | |
| interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of | |
| all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes | |
| commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. 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) | Represents a payment-in-kind security which may pay all or a portion of interest/dividends in |
| additional par/shares. | |
| (3) | Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. See |
| Note 1G for description. | |
| (4) | Defaulted matured security. |
| (5) | Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good |
| faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. | |
| (6) | This Senior Loan will settle after April 30, 2010, at which |
| time the interest rate will be determined. | |
| (7) | Currently the issuer is in default with respect to interest |
| payments. | |
| (8) | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A |
| under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold | |
| in certain transactions and remain exempt from registration, | |
| normally to qualified institutional buyers. At April 30, | |
| 2010, the aggregate value of these securities is $25,347,938 or | |
| 5.0% of the Trusts net assets applicable to common shares. | |
| (9) | Security exempt from registration under Regulation S of the |
| Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration | |
| securities offered and sold outside the United States. Security | |
| may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant | |
| to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the | |
| registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. | |
| (10) | Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the |
| rate in effect at April 30, 2010. | |
| (11) | Non-income producing security. |
| (12) | Restricted security (See Note 8). |
| (13) | Affiliated investment company available to Eaton Vance |
| portfolios and funds which invests in high quality, U.S. dollar | |
| denominated money market instruments. The rate shown is the | |
| annualized seven-day yield as of April 30, 2010. Net income allocated from the | |
| investment in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC and Cash | |
| Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, for the | |
| six months ended April 30, 2010 was $7,186 and $0, | |
| respectively. |

Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust as of April 30, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Trusts primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Trust may, as a secondary objective, also seek preservation of capital to the extent consistent with its primary objective.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Trust. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrowers 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 borrowers 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 relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Trust based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Trust. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Trust. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment advisers Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Trusts forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in

U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Trust in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys value, or the amount that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the securitys disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the companys or entitys financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
B Investment Transactions Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.
D Federal Taxes The Trusts 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 October 31, 2009, the Trust, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $111,382,710 which will reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, 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 Trust of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2012 ($5,860,075), October 31, 2013 ($4,807,956), October 31, 2014 ($1,142,602), October 31, 2015 ($2,782,217), October 31, 2016 ($63,478,422) and October 31, 2017 ($33,311,438).
As of April 30, 2010, the Trust had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Trusts federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2009 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Trust. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Trust maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Trusts custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Foreign Currency Translation Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
G 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 borrowers discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments.

H Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust, (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trusts Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Trust shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Trust shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Trust property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Trusts 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.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Trust may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Trust enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contract has been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Credit Default Swaps When the Trust is the 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 (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Trust pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Trust would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits 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 to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Trust is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Trust could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Trust for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Trust effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Trust is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Trust also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Upfront payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Trust segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Trust segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, 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.
L Statement of Cash Flows The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Trust is the amount included in the Trusts Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
M Interim Financial Statements The interim financial statements relating to April 30, 2010 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Trusts management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

2 Auction Preferred Shares
The Trust issued Auction Preferred Shares (APS) on January 26, 2004 in a public offering. The underwriting discount and other offering costs incurred in connection with the offering were recorded as a reduction of the paid-in capital of the common shares. Dividends on the APS, which accrue daily, are cumulative at rates which are reset weekly for Series A and Series B, and approximately monthly for Series C and Series D by an auction, unless a special dividend period has been set. Series of APS are identical in all respects except for the reset dates of the dividend rates. If the APS auctions do not successfully clear, the dividend payment rate over the next period for the APS holders is set at a specified maximum applicable rate until such time as the APS auctions are successful. Auctions have not cleared since February 13, 2008 and the rate since that date has been the maximum applicable rate (see Note 3). The maximum applicable rate on the APS is 150% of the AA Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate at the date of the auction.
The number of APS issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2010 is as follows:
| Series A | 1,313 |
|---|---|
| Series B | 1,313 |
| Series C | 1,313 |
| Series D | 1,313 |
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 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 Trusts By-Laws and the 1940 Act. The Trust pays an annual fee up to 0.15% of the liquidation value of the APS to broker-dealers as a service fee if the auctions are unsuccessful; otherwise, the annual fee is 0.25%.
3 Distributions to Shareholders
The Trust intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income to common shareholders, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS. In addition, at least annually, the Trust intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any). Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and are payable at the end of each dividend period. The dividend rates for the APS at April 30, 2010, and the amount of dividends paid (including capital gains, if any) to APS shareholders, average APS dividend rates (annualized), and dividend rate ranges for the six months then ended were as follows:
| Dividend Rates

Beginning February 13, 2008 and consistent with the patterns in the broader market for auction-rate securities, the Trusts APS auctions were unsuccessful in clearing due to an imbalance of sell orders over bids to buy the APS. As a result, the dividend rates of the APS were reset to the maximum applicable rate. The table above reflects such maximum dividend rate for each series as of April 30, 2010.
The Trust 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. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
4 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Trust. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Trusts average daily gross assets and is payable monthly. Gross assets as referred to herein represent net assets plus obligations attributable to investment leverage. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Trusts investment of cash therein was credited against the Trusts investment adviser fee. The Trust currently invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory

In addition, EVM has contractually agreed to reimburse the Trust for fees and other expenses at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Trusts average daily gross assets during the first five full years of the Trusts operations, 0.15% of the Trusts average daily gross assets in year six, 0.10% in year seven and 0.05% in year eight. The Trust concluded its first six full years of operations on November 28, 2009. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM waived $404,805 of its investment adviser fee for the six months ended April 30, 2010.
Except for Trustees of the Trust who are not members of EVMs organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Trust out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Trust who are not affiliated with EVM may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are officers of EVM.

9 Financial Instruments
The Trust may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange 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 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 April 30, 2010 is as follows:

At April 30, 2010, the Trust had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Trust is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Trust holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Trust may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Trust may also enter into such contracts to hedge the currency risk of investments it anticipates purchasing.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk at April 30, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2010 was approximately $49,881,000.
10 Credit Agreement
The Trust has entered into a Credit Agreement (the Agreement) with a bank to borrow up to a limit of $150 million pursuant to a 364-day revolving line of credit. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Trust. Interest is charged at a rate above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Trust pays a commitment fee of 0.15% on the borrowing limit. In connection with the renewal of the Agreement on March 30, 2010, the Trust paid an up-front fee of $225,000, which is being amortized to interest expense through March 29, 2011, the termination date of the Agreement. The unamortized balance at April 30, 2010 is approximately $205,000 and is included in prepaid expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Also included in interest expense is $94,000 of amortization of previously paid up-front fees related to the period from November 1, 2009 through March 30, 2010 when the Agreement was renewed. The Trust is required to maintain certain net asset levels during the term of the Agreement. At April 30, 2010, the Trust had borrowings outstanding under the Agreement of $150,000,000 at an interest rate of 1.26%. The carrying amount of the borrowings at April 30, 2010 approximated its fair value. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the average borrowings under the agreement and the average interest rate (annualized) were $150,000,000 and 1.24%, respectively.
11 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Trust, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
12 Concentration of Credit Risk
The Trust invests primarily in below investment grade floating-rate loans and floating-rate debt obligations, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to reduce the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest

XBRL Pagebreak End
payments. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed than issuers of investment grade bonds. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan or other debt obligation may lose significant value before a default occurs. Lower rated investments also may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loans value.
13 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for
identical investments |
| --- | --- |
| | Level 2 other significant observable inputs
(including quoted prices for similar investments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| | Level 3 significant unobservable inputs
(including a funds own assumptions in determining the fair
value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At April 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Trusts investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| Quoted | ||||||

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Overview of the Contract Review Process

At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a Board) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the Eaton Vance Funds) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees.

In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the funds investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques .
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the funds investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (the Fund) and Eaton Vance Management (the Adviser), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Advisers management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. In particular, the Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing special considerations relevant to investing in senior secured floating rate loans. Specifically, the Board noted the experience of the Advisers large group of bank loan investment professionals and other personnel who provide services to the Fund, including portfolio managers and analysts. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance
The Board compared the Funds investment performance to a relevant universe of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider as well as a peer group of similarly managed funds and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, payable by the Fund (referred to as management fees). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Funds total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser had waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized with and without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board also considered the fact that the Fund is not continuously offered and concluded that, in light of the level of the Advisers profits with respect to the Fund, the implementation of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule is not appropriate at this time. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund.

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 Funds investment adviser and adopted the investment advisers proxy voting policies and procedures (the Policies) which are described below. The Trustees will review the Funds 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 Funds 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 Boards Contract Review Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Boards Contract Review Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.
The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a companys management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders. An independent proxy voting service (Agent), currently Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., has been retained to assist in the voting of proxies through the provision of vote analysis, implementation and recordkeeping and disclosure services. The investment adviser will generally vote proxies through the Agent. The Agent is required to vote all proxies and/or refer then back to the investment adviser pursuant to the Policies. It is generally the policy of the investment adviser to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Agent. The Agent shall refer to the investment adviser proxies relating to mergers and restructurings, and the disposition of assets, termination, liquidation and mergers contained in mutual fund proxies. The investment adviser will normally vote against anti-takeover measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible transactions, except in the case of closed-end management investment companies. The investment adviser generally supports management on social and environmental proposals. 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 or the economic effect on shareholders interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant.
In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Funds 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 advisers 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 the personal of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. If such personnel expects to instruct the Agent to vote such proxies in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines of the Policies or the recommendation of the Agent, the personnel will consult with members of senior management of the investment adviser to determine if a material conflict of interests exists. If it is determined that a material conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Contract Review Committee.
