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 customer's 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 our Policy periodically for changes by accessing the 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 only applies to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer's account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such adviser's privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures.
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 its underlying 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 Floating-Rate Income Trust as of May 31, 2006
INVESTMENT UPDATE
The Trust
Performance for the Past Year
Based on its May 2006 monthly dividend of $0.129 and a closing share price of $17.95, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust, a closed-end fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange (The Trust) had a market yield of 8.62%.(1)
Based on share price (traded on the New York Stock Exchange), the Trust had a total return of 7.38% for the year ended May 31, 2006. That return was the result of a decrease in share price from $18.07 on May 31, 2005 to $17.95 on May 31, 2006 and the reinvestment of $1.387 in regular monthly dividends.
Based on net asset value, the Trust had a total return of 8.50% for the year ended May 31, 2006. That return was the result of an increase in net asset value per share from $18.84 on May 31, 2005 to $18.91 on May 31, 2006, and the reinvestment of all distributions.
For performance comparison, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index an unmanaged loan market index had a total return of 6.36% for the year ended May 31, 2006.(2)
The Trusts Investments
The Trusts portfolio of senior loans and other investments represented 435 borrowers and 38 industries as of May 31, 2006. The Trusts average loan size was 0.20% of total investments, and no industry constituted more than 7.0% of the Trusts total investments. Health care, chemicals & plastics, building & development (which includes companies that manage/own apartments, shopping malls and commercial office buildings, among others), leisure goods/activities/movies and automotive were the Trusts largest industry weightings.
The loan market was characterized by higher interest rates, narrowing credit spreads and a soaring volume of new issues. The London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) the benchmark over which loan interest rates are typically set rose in lockstep with the Federal Reserves Federal Funds rate. Toward the end of the period, there were signs that spreads appeared to have bottomed, with lenders increasingly able to get more favorable terms on loans.
The Trust also had an 8.5% (of total investments) position in high-yield bonds, which was additive to net asset value performance. The high-yield bond segment remained focused on B-rated bonds and on shorter maturities, which provided more flexibility in times of increasing market volatility.
The Trusts share price traded at a discount versus its NAV, as have many closed-end income funds that employ leverage. However, most of these funds buy fixed-rate investments and often use shorter and/or floating-rate borrowings, which, in a rising interest rate environment, can impair a closed-end funds ability to earn and pay dividends. For this reason, closed-end bond funds may trade flat-to-lower in a rising-rate climate, such as the one we have recently experienced. In contrast, the Trust invests primarily in floating-rate instruments, which may add income in a rising-rate environment. While it is difficult to attribute the Trusts market share discount to NAV to one factor, we believe a likely cause was a market perception that rising rates impair the earning power of closed-end income funds. If this were the cause, management believes that the market failed to distinguish the floating-rate nature of most of the Trusts assets. Although there is no certainty that the Trust will continue to do so, the Trust raised its dividend during the year ended May 31, 2006.
At May 31, 2006, the Trust had leverage in the amount of approximately 38% of the Trusts total assets. The Trust employs leverage though the issuance of Auction Preferred Shares (APS).(3) 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 the Trusts APS rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. Such increases/ decreases in the cost of the Trusts APS may be offset by increased/decreased income from the Trusts senior loan investments.
(1) The Trusts 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) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indexs total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. In addition, unlike the Trust, the Index does not employ leverage. (3) Performance results reflect the effect of leverage resulting from the Trusts Auction Preferred Shares. 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 Auction Preferred Shares.
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 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.
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.

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 as of May 31, 2006 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end management investment company. The Trust, which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 28, 2004, seeks to provide a high level of current income. The Trust will, as a secondary objective, also seek preservation of capital to the extent consistent with its primary goal of high current income. The Trust pursues its objectives by investing primarily in senior, secured floating rate loans (Senior Loans). 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 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 and options thereon listed on commodity exchanges 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. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, they will be valued by a pricing service. 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 and reflected in such
27
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust as of May 31, 2006
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
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 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.
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, substantially all of taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At May 31, 2006, the Trust, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $6,751,410 which will reduce the Trust's 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 carryover will expire on May 31, 2013 ($1,477,364) and May 31, 2014 ($5,274,046).
Additionally, at May 31, 2006, the Trust had net capital losses of $115,148 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2005. These are treated as arising on the first day of the Trust's following taxable year.
D Investment Transactions Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the transaction date. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuations during this period. To the extent that when-issued or delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Trust instructs the custodian to segregate assets in a separate account, with a current value at least equal to the amount of its purchase commitments.
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 Offering Costs Costs incurred by the Trust in connection with the offering of the common shares and preferred shares were recorded as a reduction of capital paid in excess of par applicable to common shares.
G 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 balance 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 Statements of Operations.
H Written Options Upon the writing of a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Trust is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written in accordance with the Trust's policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Trust. The Trust, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities underlying the written option.
I Purchased Options Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Trust is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Trust's policies on investment valuations discussed above. If an option which the Trust has purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Trust will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Trust enters into a closing sale transaction, the Trust will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a Trust exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Trust exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Trust purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.

J Financial Futures Contracts Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Trust is required to deposit an amount (initial margin) either in cash or securities equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Trust (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying securities, and are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Trust.
If the Trust enters into a closing transaction, the Trust will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the financial futures contract to sell and the financial futures contract to buy. The Trust's investment in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Trust may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
K Reverse Repurchase Agreements The Trust may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under such an agreement, the Trust temporarily transfers possession, but not ownership, of a security to a counterparty, in return for cash. At the same time, the Trust agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed-upon price and time in the future. The Trust may enter into reverse repurchase agreements for temporary purposes, such as to fund withdrawals, or for use as hedging instruments where the underlying security is denominated in a foreign currency. As a form of leverage, reverse repurchase agreements may increase the risk of fluctuation in the market value of the Trust's assets or in its yield. Liabilities to counterparties under reverse repurchase agreements are recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at the same time at which cash is received by the Trust. The securities underlying such agreements continue to be treated as owned by the Trust and remain in the Portfolio of Investments. Interest charged on amounts borrowed by the Trust under reverse repurchase agreements is accrued daily.
L Total Return Swaps The Trust may enter into swap agreements to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. In a total return swap, the Trust makes payments at a rate equal to a predetermined spread to the one or three-month LIBOR. In exchange, the Trust receives payments based on the rate of return of a benchmark industry index or basket of securities. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between the rate of interest and the benchmark industry index or basket of securities. The Trust is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. However, the Trust does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates, securities, or the index.
M Credit Default Swaps The Trust may enter into credit default swap contracts for risk management purposes, including diversification. 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 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 obligation. 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 swaps of which it is the seller, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the counterparty may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
N 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.
O Indemnifications Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal
29

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
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.
P Other Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
2 Auction Preferred Shares
The Trust issued 3,480 shares of Auction Preferred Shares (APS) Series A, 3,480 shares of Auction Preferred Shares (APS) Series B, 3,480 shares of Auction Preferred Shares (APS) Series C, 3,480 shares of Auction Preferred Shares (APS) Series D, and 3,480 shares of Auction Preferred Shares (APS) Series E on September 16, 2004 in a public offering. The underwriting discount and other offering costs were recorded as a reduction of the capital of the common shares. Dividends on the APS Series A, Series B, and Series C, which accrue daily, are cumulative at a rate which was established at the offering of the APS and have been reset every 7 days thereafter by an auction. Dividends on the APS Series D and Series E, which accrue daily, are cumulative at a rate which was established at the offering of the APS and have been reset every 28 days thereafter by an auction. Dividend rates ranged from 2.80% to 4.80% for Series A shares, 3.00% to 4.80% for Series B shares, 3.00% to 4.80% for Series C shares, 3.25% to 5.00% for Series D shares, and 3.30% to 5.00% for Series E shares.
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 an annual fee equivalent to 0.25% of the preferred shares' liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auctions.
3 Distribution to Shareholders
The Trust intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS. In addition, at least annually, the Trust intends to distribute net capital gain, if any. 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 or twenty-eight days. The applicable dividend rate for the APS on May 31, 2006 was 4.80%, 4.60%, 4.70%, 5.00%, and 5.00%, for Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, and Series E Shares, respectively. For the year ended May 31, 2006, the Trust paid dividends to APS amounting to $3,432,400, $3,397,799, $3,434,965, $3,526,290 and $3,476,820 for Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, and Series E Shares, respectively, representing an average APS dividend rate for such period of 3.865%, 3.849%, 3.901%, 4.142%, and 4.106%, 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 method for amortizing premiums.
The tax character of the distributions declared for the year ended May 31, 2006 and for the period from June 29, 2004 to May 31, 2005 were as follows:
Year Ended May 31, 2006 |
Period Ended May 31, 2005 |
||||||||||
Distributions declared from: Ordinary Income |
$ | 68,995,428 | $ | 43,178,596 |
During the year ended May 31, 2006, accumulated undistributed net investment loss was decreased by $1,456,234 and accumulated net realized loss was increased by $1,456,234 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.

8 Financial Instruments
The Trust may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, financial futures contracts, and swap 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (the "Trust"), including the portfolio of investments, as of May 31, 2006, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from the start of business, June 29, 2004 to May 31, 2005. 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 the 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 and financial highlights 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. Our audits included 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 Trust'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 May 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and selling or agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers and 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust as of May 31, 2006, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from the start of business, June 29, 2004 to May 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Trust offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) pursuant to which shareholders may elect to have dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested in common shares (the Shares) of the Trust. You may elect to participate in the Plan by completing the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Application Form. If you do not participate, you will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to you by PFPC Inc., as dividend paying agent.

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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("Independent Trustees") cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
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 March 27, 2006, 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 Special Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Special Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Special Committee held in February and March 2006. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
An independent report comparing each fund's total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;
Comparative information concerning fees charged by each adviser for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the fund;
Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund managed by it;
Information about Portfolio Management
Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed;
Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through "soft dollar" benefits received in connection with the funds' brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds;
Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;
The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;
Information about each Adviser
Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser;
Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes;
Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions;
Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates;
Other Relevant Information
Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates;
Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds' administrator; and
The terms of each advisory agreement.
In addition to the information identified above, the Special 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 March 31,
37
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D
2006, the Board met nine times and the Special Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met eight, twelve and five 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 fund's investment objective.
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 fund's 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 Special Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Special 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 Special 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 Special Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (the "Fund"), and Eaton Vance Management (the "Adviser"), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Special Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Special Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the 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 Adviser's 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. The Board noted the experience of the Adviser's 29 bank loan investment professionals and other personnel who provide services to the Fund, including four portfolio managers and 15 analysts. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation paid 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 from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers.
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 Fund's investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund is satisfactory.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D
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 Fund's management fee and total expense ratio for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. 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 and the Fund's total expense ratio 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 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.
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 Adviser's profits with respect to the Fund, the implementation of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule is not appropriate. 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.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
In approximately 60 days, the Floating-Rate Income Trust (the "Fund") intends to implement certain investment policy changes recently approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Specifically, the Board recently authorized the Fund to invest in foreign senior floating-rate loans ("Senior Loans") denominated in euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, and Canadian dollars (each an "Authorized Foreign Currency").
As a general matter, the Fund currently has the authority to invest its net assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign Senior Loans. Under the new policy, the Fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets in foreign Senior Loans denominated in an Authorized Foreign Currency. For all foreign Senior Loan investments denominated in an Authorized Foreign Currency, Eaton Vance currently intends to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations through the use of currency exchange contracts and other appropriate permitted hedging strategies.
The foregoing policy changes provide a number of important benefits to the Fund. Allowing the Fund to invest in foreign Senior Loans denominated in an Authorized Foreign Currency increases the Fund's investment universe, opens up new investment markets with similar risk/return characteristics, and allows for greater overall portfolio diversity.
In short, Eaton Vance Management believes allowing the Fund to invest in foreign Senior Loans denominated in an Authorized Foreign Currency provides significant benefits without materially increasing the Fund's overall risk profile.
To fully implement the foregoing policy changes, the Fund must also modify its current "80% policy," which requires the Fund to invest at least 80% of its total assets in interests in Senior Loans of domestic or foreign borrowers (so long as foreign loans are U.S. dollar-denominated and payments of interest and repayments of principal are required to be made in U.S. dollars). This policy may only be changed upon 60 days advance notice to shareholders. Accordingly, on or around September 1, 2006, the 80% policy will be changed to include, in addition to U.S. dollar denominated foreign Senior Loans, foreign Senior Loans denominated in an Authorized Foreign Currency making payments in such Authorized Foreign Currency.

The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrants audit committee at least annually. The registrants audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrants principal accountant.

(1) The investment adviser to the registrant, as well as any of its affiliates that provide ongoing services to the registrant, are subsidiaries of Eaton Vance Corp.
(h) The registrants audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrants principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrants 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 accountants independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed registrants

Reamer (Chair), Samuel L. Hayes, III, William H. Park, Lynn A. Stout and Ralph E. Verni are the members of the registrants audit committee.
Item 6. Schedule of Investments
Please see schedule of investments contained in the Report to Stockholders included under Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.
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 Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Boards Special 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. 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 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 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 Commissions website at http://www.sec.gov.

Potential for Conflicts of Interest. The portfolio managers manage multiple investment portfolios. Conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio managers management of the Fund and his or her management of these other investment portfolios. Potential areas of conflict may include allocation of a portfolio managers time, investment opportunities and trades among investment portfolios, including the Fund, personal securities transactions and use of Fund portfolio holdings information. In addition, some investment portfolios may compensate the investment adviser or sub-adviser based on the performance of the securities held by that account. The existence of such a performance based fee may create additional conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager in the allocation of management time and investment opportunities. Eaton Vance Management has adopted policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to address these conflicts. There is no guarantee that such policies and procedures will be effective or that all potential conflicts will be anticipated.
Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure
Compensation of EVMs portfolio managers and other investment professionals has three primary components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus, and (3) annual stock-based compensation consisting of options to purchase shares of EVCs nonvoting common stock and/or restricted shares of EVCs nonvoting common stock. EVMs investment professionals also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all EVMs employees. Compensation of EVMs investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or shortly after the October 31st fiscal year end of EVC.
Method to Determine Compensation. EVM compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the scale and complexity of their portfolio responsibilities and the total return performance of managed funds and accounts versus appropriate peer groups or benchmarks. Performance is normally based on periods ending on the September 30th preceding fiscal year end. Fund performance is evaluated primarily versus peer groups of funds as determined by Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc. In evaluating the performance of a fund and its manager, primary emphasis is normally placed on three-year performance, with secondary consideration of performance over longer and shorter periods. For funds that are tax-managed or otherwise have an objective of after-tax returns, performance is measured net of taxes. For other funds, performance is evaluated on a pre-tax basis. In addition to rankings within peer groups of funds on the basis of absolute performance, consideration may also be given to risk-adjusted performance. For funds with an investment objective other than total return (such as current income), consideration will also be given to the funds success in achieving its objective. For managers responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis, based on averages or weighted averages among managed funds and accounts. Funds and accounts that have performance-based advisory fees are not accorded disproportionate weightings in measuring aggregate portfolio manager performance.
The compensation of portfolio managers with other job responsibilities (such as heading an investment group or providing analytical support to other portfolios) will include consideration of the scope of such responsibilities and the managers performance in meeting them.
EVM seeks to compensate portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. EVM participates in investment-industry compensation surveys and utilizes survey data as a factor in determining salary, bonus and stock-based compensation levels for portfolio managers and other investment professionals. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating performance of EVM and its parent company. The overall annual cash bonus pool is based on a substantially fixed percentage of pre-bonus operating income. While the salaries of EVMs portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year to year, based on changes in manager performance and other factors as described herein. For a high performing portfolio manager, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may represent a substantial portion of total compensation.

No such purchases this period.
Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
