                                TO SHAREHOLDERS

VANCE SANDERS  EXCHANGE  FUND HAD A TOTAL RETURN OF 4.4 PERCENT  DURING THE YEAR
THAT ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994. That return  represented a rise in net asset value
per share to  $259.49  from  $251.71,  and the  reinvestment  of $3.05 in income
dividends.  By  comparison,  the S&P 500  Index,  an  unmanaged  index of common
stocks, had a return of 1.4 percent during the same period.

SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVED INCOME DIVIDENDS
TOTALING $3.05 DURING THE 12 MONTHS THAT ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994.

THE ECONOMY CONTINUED TO POST SOLID GROWTH IN 1994. THIRD-QUARTER GROSS DOMESTIC
PRODUCT  ROSE 3.4 PERCENT,  FOLLOWING A 4.1 PERCENT GAIN IN THE SECOND  QUARTER.
The  economy  was fueled by  increases  in  capital  spending  by  business.Such
spending was up significantly in the past year, according to the U.S. Department
of Commerce. The improved economic activity was reflected in brisk job growth as
well, with November unemployment declining to 5.6 percent.

BY MOST MEASURES, INFLATION CONTINUES TO BE MODEST. However, the Federal Reserve
- -  having  already  raised  short-term  rates  on  six  occasions  in  1994 - is
maintaining  a close watch on  inflation  indices  and  commodity  prices.  Core
inflation - which excludes the volatile energy and food categories - remained in
the range of 2.7 percent.

ON THE COMMODITY FRONT, A STRONGER U.S. ECONOMY AND AN IMPROVING  ECONOMY ABROAD
INCREASED  PRICES FOR KEY BASE METALS.  After drifting for some time,  crude oil
prices  jumped  considerably  during the summer,  leading to a rise in oil stock
prices.  These  inflation  concerns  -  together  with  the  Fed  actions  and a
stubbornly  weak  dollar - pushed  long-term  Treasury  yields to 8.1 percent at
November 30, their highest level since early 1992.

CYCLICAL STOCKS WERE AMONG THE BETTER  PERFORMERS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 1994.
However,  during the second six months growth stocks  rallied for the first time
in more than a year.  This shift benefited the Fund's growth and cyclical growth
stocks.  Growth  companies  with  international  operations  should  show better
earnings if there is an economic slowdown in the U.S. next year.


"OVER THE LONG-TERM,  INVESTMENTS  THAT FOCUS ON A  REPRESENTATIVE  PORTFOLIO OF
 HIGH QUALITY COMMON STOCKS ARE LIKELY TO DELIVER SOUND PERFORMANCE."

[PHOTOGRAPH OF LANDON T. CLAY]

DURING THE YEAR THAT ENDED  DECEMBER  31,  1994,  THE  STRONG  FUNDAMENTALS  AND
UNDERVALUATION OF TECHNOLOGY  STOCKS CAUSED THIS SECTOR TO APPRECIATE.  Overall,
health care  stocks,  regarded in recent years as market  laggards,  also gained
significantly  during the period.  In  particular,  the stocks of drug companies
returned to favor once the debate over health care reform was set aside for this
year.

INTEREST  RATE-SENSITIVE  STOCKS,  INCLUDING  THOSE  OF  INSURANCE  AND  FINANCE
COMPANIES, WERE AMONG THE MARKET'S WEAKER PERFORMERS DURING THE PERIOD. Bank and
finance  company  margins are likely to face  increasing  pressure due to rising
interest   rates  and  a  flattening   of  the  yield  curve.   Utility   stocks
underperformed  during the period and stocks of retail  companies also were down
for the year.

IN THE SHORT  TERM,  THE  MARKET  REMAINS  VULNERABLE  TO FURTHER  INCREASES  IN
INTEREST  RATES.  However,  over  the long  term,  investments  that  focus on a
representative  portfolio of  high-quality  common  stocks are likely to deliver
sound performance.  Because this remains the strategy of Vance, Sanders Exchange
Fund, I have confidence that the Fund will continue to participate in the growth
of the economy.

                                   Sincerely,



                               /s/Landon T. Clay

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund is a limited  partnership formed under The Uniform Limited  Partnership
Act of California, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
amended, as a diversified,  open-end,  management investment company.  Under the
Partnership Agreement,  all partnership interests,  whether of a limited partner
or a general partner, are represented by shares of the same class. The following
is a summary of significant  accounting  policies  consistently  followed by the
Fund  in the  preparation  of its  financial  statements.  The  policies  are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

A. INVESTMENT  VALUATIONS - Investments  listed on security  exchanges or in the
NASDAQ  National  Market are valued at closing sale  prices.  Listed or unlisted
investments  for which  closing  sale  prices  are not  available  are valued at
closing bid prices.  Short-term  obligations,  maturing in 60 days or less,  are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

B. INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS - No provision is made by the Fund
for federal or state taxes on the taxable income of the partnership because each
partner is individually responsible for the payment of any taxes on his share of
such  taxable  income.   The  Managing  General  Partners  will  make  quarterly
distributions  to the partners from the Fund's net  investment  income and it is
their present intention to distribute each year approximately 30% of any taxable
net realized gain from investment transactions.

C. OTHER  - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Dividend  income and  distributions  to partners are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.

(4) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The  investment  adviser fee, computed at the monthly rate of .05 of 1% (1/12 of
an annual rate of 0.6 of 1%) of average  monthly  net assets,  was paid to Eaton
Vance Management  (EVM) as compensation  for management and investment  advisory
services  rendered to the Fund. The Fund pays the  compensation  of its Managing
General  Partners who are not members of EVM's  organization.  The custodian fee
was paid to Investors Bank & Trust Company  (IBT),  an affiliate of EVM, for its
services as  custodian of the Fund.  Pursuant to the  custodian  agreement,  IBT
receives a fee  reduced by credits  which are  determined  based on the  average
daily cash  balances the Fund  maintains  with IBT. One of the Managing  General
Partners of the Fund is an officer and trustee of EVM and that  organization  is
the Non-Managing General Partner of the Fund.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) LINE OF CREDIT
The  Fund  participates  with  other  funds  managed  by EVM  in a $120  million
unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The line of credit consists of a
$20  million  committed  facility  and a $100  million  discretionary  facility.
Borrowings will be made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual
and/or unanticipated  short-term cash requirements.  Interest is charged to each
fund based on its  borrowings  at an amount  above  either  the bank's  adjusted
certificate of deposit rate, a variable adjusted certificate of deposit rate, or
a federal funds effective rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of
1/4 of 1% on the $20 million  committed  facility and the unused  portion of the
$100 million  discretionary  facility is allocated among the participating funds
at the end of each quarter. The Fund did not have any significant  borrowings or
allocated fees during the year.

To the Partners of

Vance, Sanders Exchange Fund
(A California Limited Partnership):

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the  portfolio of  investments,  of Vance,  Sanders  Exchange Fund (A California
Limited  Partnership)  as of December  31,  1994,  and the related  statement of
operations  for the year then ended,  the statement of changes in net assets for
the years ended  December 31, 1994 and 1993,  and the financial  highlights  for
each of the  years in the  five-year  period  ended  December  31,  1994.  These
financial  statements  and financial  highlights are the  responsibility  of the
Fund's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures included  confirmation of the securities owned as of
December 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  such  financial  statements  and financial  highlights  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  financial  position of Vance,  Sanders
Exchange Fund (A California  Limited  Partnership)  as of December 31, 1994, the
results of its  operations,  the  changes in its net assets,  and its  financial
highlights  for the  respective  stated  periods in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.
