(7)  Income Taxes (continued)

   As of October 31, 1993, the Company has a remaining operating loss
carryforward of approximately $55 million, of which $13 million and $42 million
can be carried forward to offset future taxable income through 2007 and 2008,
respectively.  Additionally, the Company has an alternative minimum tax credit
carryforward of approximately $1.7 million, of which $1.3 million and $.4
million can be carried forward to offset future regular tax liabilities through

   The Company's effective tax rate increased from 41% in the first quarter of
1993 to 48% in the first quarter of 1994.  A large part of the increase
resulted from the reversal of the tax benefit recorded on unrealized losses
booked in prior periods.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter ended January 31, 1994, compared with quarter ended January 31, 1993

INCOME

   Assets under management rose 37% to $16.3 billion at January 31, 1994, from
$11.9 billion a year earlier.  The sale of mutual fund shares was the primary
contributor to the increase in assets.  Sales of $1.4 billion in the first
quarter set a new Company record and exceeded sales in the comparable 1993
quarter by 68%.  Redemptions were $454 million during the first quarter of 1994
and $338 million in the same quarter of 1993.

   In the first quarter of 1994, total income increased 26% over that of the
first quarter of 1993.  Investment management revenues rose to $42 million, 29%
over those for the comparable three months of 1993.  The increase was a result
of the increased assets under management.  The revenue growth included an
increase in distribution income from $15.6 million to $20.9 million despite the
application in July, 1993, of a new NASD rule reducing the annual rate of the
distribution plan payments received by the Company from its Marathon Family of
funds from 1.0% to 0.75% of assets managed.

   Bank income increased 20% to $10.3 million from $8.6 million in the
preceding period as a result of an increase in custody assets.

EXPENSES

   In the first quarter of 1994, total expenses rose 26% to $41.1 million, the
largest single item being amortization of sales commissions, which increases
44% to $12.8 million.  The increase is the result of greater assets under
management in funds with deferred sales commissions.    Compensation rose 20%
to $17.4 million, while other expenses increased 20% to $10.9 million.  The
increases in both categories were largely the result of increased sales and
marketing efforts.  Unrealized losses of $318,000 on shares of Pegasus Gold
which were distributed to Eaton Vance Corp. for its General and Limited
partnership interests are included in other expenses.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

   The Company's gold mining partnerships, V.T. and V.T.II, contributed a gain
of $737,000 during the first quarter of 1994, rather than the  $964,000 loss in
the same quarter a year earlier.

TAXES

   The Company's effective tax rate increased from 41% in the first quarter of
1993 to 48% in the first quarter of 1994.  A large part of the increase
resulted from the reversal of the tax benefit previously recorded on unrealized
losses booked in prior periods.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

NET INCOME OR LOSS

   Net income in the first quarter of 1994 amounted to $7,706,000 or $.81 per
share on 9,530,000 average shares outstanding.  Net income includes the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes of $1.3 million,
or $0.14 per share.  In the first quarter of 1993, net income was $4,924,000 or
$0.62 per share on 7,969,000 average shares outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Most of the Company's income is received from its investment management and
banking activities.  Investment management income is provided primarily by
investment adviser fees, administrative fees and distribution plan payments. 
These fees are directly related to the amount of assets under management. 
Those assets rose 37% to $16.3 billion on January 31, 1994 from $11.9 billion a
year earlier.  The banking income is largely accounting and custody fees for
assets in trust or custody at the Company's 77.3% owned banking subsidiary,
Investors Bank & Trust Company. Assets under custody rose 22% to $55 billion on
January 31, 1994, from $45 billion a year earlier.

   Investments in investment companies are carried at the lower of cost or
market.  At January 31, 1994 and October 31, 1993, the Company had gross
unrealized gains of $1,746,000 and $1,648,000, respectively.  The Company, as a
non-managing partner of certain investment company partnerships, is required to
maintain a minimum investment in such partnerships.  At January 31, 1994, a
minimum investment investment of $2,987,000 was required under the terms of the
partnership agreements.

   On January 31, 1994, the Company had borrowings of $62 million under a $75
million revolving line of credit with two unaffiliated banks.  Certain
covenants in the credit agreement require specified levels of cash flow and net
income and others restrict additional investment and indebtedness.

   The Company is currently arranging a $50 million Senior Note issue to
increase credit availability and to convert a large part of its borrowings from
a floating to a fixed interest rate.  The Company intends to use a portion of
the proceeds of the issue to call its outstanding $14 million of 10%
Subordinated Debentures.

   On April 16, 1993, the Company completed a public offering and sale of 1.38
million shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.0625 per share. 
The net proceeds of $44.0 million were used to repay a portion of the principal
amount outstanding under the Company's bank credit agreement.
