1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   A. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
      Eaton Vance Corp. (the "Company") and all of its majority owned 
      subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have 
      been eliminated.

   B. Cash equivalents consist principally of short-term, highly liquid 
      investments and are recorded at cost, which is equivalent to market 
      value. Cash equivalents of Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IB&T") 
      consist of cash due from banks.

   C. Investments are accounted for as follows:

      Investment securities held by IB&T are carried at cost, adjusted for 
      amortization of bond premium and accretion of bond discount, and consist
      principally of U.S. Government obligations maturing in five years or less
      and mortgage-backed securities. At October 31, 1994 and 1993, IB&T's
      investment securities had gross unrealized gains of $0 and $2,246,000, and
      gross unrealized losses of $2,106,000 and $48,000, respectively. The
      carrying value of investment securities pledged to secure public funds 
      on deposit and for other required purposes amounted to $88,000,000 and 
      $80,000,000 at October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

      Real estate properties are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable 
      value, with depreciation provided using the straight-line method over the
      estimated useful lives of the assets.

      Investments in unconsolidated partnership interests are accounted for by
      the equity method of accounting. This method requires the Company to
      record its share of the unrealized gains and losses in the underlying
      marketable securities of its two gold-mining limited partnerships'
      portfolios.

      Investments in investment companies are carried at the lower of cost or 
      market. At October 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had gross unrealized 
      gains of $1,689,000 and $1,659,000, and gross unrealized losses of
      $75,000 and $11,000, respectively. The Company, as a non-managing general
      partner of certain investment company partnerships, is required to
      maintain a minimum investment in such partnerships. At October 31, 1994,
      a minimum investment of $2,837,000 was required under the terms of the
      partnership agreements. Investments held in connection with the Company's
      activities as principal underwriter are recorded at market value and
      consist of Eaton Vance mutual funds.

      Other investments are carried at the lower of cost or management's 
      estimate of net realizable value.

      The Company will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting 
      Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and 
      Equity Securities," in fiscal 1995. SFAS No. 115 requires that investments
      in debt securities classified as "held to maturity securities" are
      recorded at amortized cost, and investments in debt and equity securities
      classified as either "available for sale" or "trading" are recorded at 
      fair value. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 115 
      will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

  D. Bank loan losses are provided for under the allowance method. Increases 
     in the loan loss allowance account are charged to operating expenses 
     based on a reasonable estimate of foreseeable losses. There have been no 
     loan charge-offs or recoveries during the periods presented.

  E. Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less 
     accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization 
     are provided principally by the straight-line method over the estimated 
     useful lives of the related assets, or over the terms of the related 
     leases, if shorter.

  F. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company's investment in 
     the net assets or stock of acquired companies over the fair value of       
     the underlying net assets at dates of acquisition and is being amortized on
     the straight-line method over 36 to 40 years.

  G. In connection with the Company's activities as principal underwriter, the 
     sales of shares of investment companies are accounted for on a settlement 
     date basis with the related commission income and expenses recorded on a 
     trade date basis.

  H. Sales commissions paid to brokers and dealers in connection with sales of 
     shares of certain investment companies are charged to deferred sales
     commissions and amortized over various periods, none of which exceeds six
     years. Distribution plan payments received by the Company from investment
     companies are recorded in income as earned. Early withdrawal charges
     received by the Company from redeeming shareholders reduce unamortized
     deferred sales commissions first, with any remaining amount recorded in
     income.

  I. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 
     No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" effective November 1, 1993.  The
     impact of the change is discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial
     statements. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary
     differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for
     financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax
     purposes, measured by applying currently enacted tax rates. Such taxes
     relate principally to the recording of sales commissions paid to brokers
     and dealers, which are deducted currently for tax purposes.

  J. Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common, 
     non-voting common and non-voting common equivalent shares outstanding.
     Earnings per common and common equivalent share assuming full dilution
     have not been presented because the dilutive effect is immaterial.

  K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 
     current year presentation.

    For the years ended October 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the operating results 
    of V.T. reflect net income (losses) of $647,000, ($4,122,000) and 
    ($1,482,000), respectively, including realized and unrealized gains 
    (losses) on investments of $733,000, ($3,837,000) and ($1,173,000), 
    respectively.

    For the years ended October 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the operating results
    of V.T.II reflect net income (losses) of ($2,004,000), $29,206,000 and
    $1,717,000, respectively, including realized and unrealized gains (losses)
    on investments of ($648,000), $29,391,000 and $7,687,000, respectively. In
    January 1994, V.T.II distributed 1,750,000 shares of Pegasus Gold
    Corporation, with a value of $42 million, to its partners. The Company's
    share of this distribution was 159,000 shares with a value of $3.8 million.
    The Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 1994 excludes the
    effect of this non-cash investing activity. At October 31, 1994, all but
    14,000 of these shares were sold. In July 1994, V.T.II made a net cash      
    distribution of $1,516,000 to its limited partners for payment of taxes. The
    Company received $75,000 for its limited partnership interest.

    of the net income (losses) of V.T. and V.T.II, as accounted for under the 
    equity method and allocated pursuant to the terms of the partnerships' 
    agreements, was ($289,000), $3,894,000 and ($160,000), respectively. At 
    October 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company's investments in V.T. and V.T.II 
    approximated its share of the partners' capital of each partnership.

   6.22% SENIOR NOTE
   In March 1994, the Company privately placed, with three insurance 
   companies, a $50 million 6.22% Senior Note due March 2004. Principal 
   payments on the note are due in equal annual installments of 
   approximately $7.1 million, beginning March 1998. The note may be prepaid 
   in part or in whole on or after March 1996. Certain covenants in the 
   Senior Note Purchase Agreement require specific levels of cash flow and 
   net income and others restrict additional investment and indebtedness.

   NOTE PAYABLE TO UNAFFILIATED BANKS

   The Company has an unsecured revolving credit and term loan agreement 
   with two unaffiliated participating banks under which the Company may 
   borrow up to $75,000,000. Borrowings under the credit agreement are due 
   in March 1997, and bear interest at a combination of the following rates: 
   the banks' current money market rate (5.9 percent at October 31, 1994), 
   or 1 percent per annum above the banks' Eurodollar rate (6.1 percent at 
   October 31, 1994). In addition, a commitment fee of 0.375 percent per 
   annum is payable on unborrowed amounts. There were no borrowings under 
   this agreement at October 31, 1994. The loan agreement contains various 
   covenants with respect to, among other things, levels of operating cash 
   flow and net income, and allowable additional indebtedness and investments.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
   is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial     
   Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the
   Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
   methodologies. The methodologies require management to develop assumptions on
   such items as discount rates and future cash flows. Accordingly, such fair
   value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company
   would realize upon a current market exchange. The carrying amounts and
   estimated fair value at October 31, 1994 and 1993, follow:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
   CASH AND EQUIVALENTS - The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents 
   approximate their fair value.

   INVESTMENTS - The estimated fair value of investment securities, 
   investment companies and common stock is based on quoted market prices. 
   Management believes it is impracticable to disclose fair values of 
   certain other investments (carrying amounts of $2,513,000 and $2,536,000 
   at October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively) due to the difficulty of 
   predicting future returns and the period in which those amounts will be 
   received.

   LOANS - Variable interest rate loans are subject to periodic repricing 
   and the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

   NOTES RECEIVABLE AND RECEIVABLES FROM AFFILIATES - The estimated fair 
   value of notes receivable and receivables from affiliates has been 
   calculated by discounting expected future cash flows using management's 
   estimate of current market interest rates for such notes and receivables. 
   Included in this category are "Notes receivable from stock option 
   exercises" which are a component of shareholders' equity on the 
   consolidated balance sheet.

   DEMAND AND TIME DEPOSITS - The carrying value of deposit accounts which 
   are subject to periodic repricing is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

   6.22% SENIOR NOTE - The estimated fair value of the Senior Note has been 
   determined by discounting future cash flows using a market interest rate 
   calculated in the same manner as the fixed rate of interest applicable to 
   the note.

   NOTE PAYABLE TO UNAFFILIATED BANKS - The note payable to unaffiliated 
   banks is subject to periodic repricing and the carrying amount 
   approximates its market value.

   MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE - The estimated fair value for mortgage notes 
   payable is based on discounted cash flow analyses using current market 
   interest rates applicable to mortgaged properties.

   SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES - The estimated fair value of the subordinated 
   debentures is based on the fair value of the debentures as calculated by 
   an independent valuation source.

    EXECUTIVE LOAN PROGRAM
    The Company has established an Executive Loan Program under which a 
    maximum of $6,100,000 is available for loans to certain key employees for 
    purposes of financing or refinancing the exercise of stock options for 
    shares of the Company's non-voting common stock, other purchases of the 
    Company's non-voting stock, and any tax obligations arising from such 
    transactions. Such loans are written for a seven-year period, at varying 
    fixed interest rates (currently ranging from 5.3 percent to 9.5 percent), 
    and are payable in annual installments commencing with the third year in 
    which the loan is outstanding. Loans outstanding under this program at 
    October 31, 1994 and 1993, amounted to $2,511,000 and $1,804,000, 
    respectively.

    PROFIT-SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN
    The Company has a discretionary profit-sharing retirement plan for the 
    benefit of substantially all employees of its wholly owned subsidiaries 
    whereby up to 15 percent of eligible compensation of participants may be 
    contributed. The Company has contributed $2,709,000, $2,419,000 and 
    $2,228,000, the maximum amounts permitted under the plan, for the years 
    ended October 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

    STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
    A total of 312,000 shares of the Company's non-voting common stock was 
    reserved for issuance under an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The plan 
    permits all eligible full-time employees to direct up to 15 percent of 
    their salaries toward the purchase of Eaton Vance Corp. non-voting common 
    stock at the lower of 90 percent of the fair market value of the 
    non-voting common stock at the beginning or at the end of each six-month 
    offering period. Through October 31, 1994, 285,076 shares have been 
    issued pursuant to this plan.

    INCENTIVE PLAN - STOCK ALTERNATIVE
    A total of 300,000 shares of the Company's non-voting common stock is 
    reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan - Stock Alternative. The 
    plan permits employees and officers to direct up to half of their monthly 
    and annual incentive bonuses toward the purchase of non-voting common 
    stock at 90 percent of the fair market price of the stock. Through 
    October 31, 1994, 57,022 shares have been issued pursuant to this plan.

    BANK PENSION PLAN
    IB&T has a trusteed, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan 
    covering substantially all its employees. The benefits are based on years 
    of service and the employee's compensation during employment. IB&T's 
    funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount which can be 
    deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to 
    provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for 
    benefits expected to be earned in the future.

11. INCOME TAXES
    Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
    Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," (SFAS)No. 
    109. This statement requires an asset and liability approach for 
    financial accounting and reporting for deferred income taxes. The 
    cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in a $1.3 million 
    gain or $0.14 per share. Prior year financial statements have not been 
    restated to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 109.

    Income taxes, as stated as a percentage of income before income taxes, are 
    composed of the following:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

    Income taxes paid (refunded) for the years ended October 31, 1994, 1993 
    and 1992 were $6,116,000, ($3,895,000) and ($1,085,000), respectively.

    In 1994, the Company utilized a net operating loss carryforward of 
    approximately $29 million to offset current taxable income. The Company 
    has a remaining net operating loss of approximately $25 million that can 
    be carried forward to offset future taxable income through 2008. For 
    financial statement purposes, deferred income tax credits have been 
    reduced by the effect of the tax loss carryforward because such losses 
    are expected to offset the reversal of timing differences during the 
    permitted carryforward period.

    In years prior to and in 1994, the Company incurred alternative minimum 
    tax of approximately $2.3 million. Such taxes incurred may be used as a 
    credit carryover to offset future regular tax liabilities. Accordingly, 
    at October 31, 1994, the deferred income tax liability account has been 
    reduced by the cumulative alternative minimum taxes incurred of $2.3 
    million.

11. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

    Under SFAS No. 109 deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of 
    (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and 
    liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for 
    income tax purposes, and (b) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

    deferred tax liability as of October 31, 1994, are as follows:

    million, $2.4 million and $3.0 million, in 1994, 1993 and 1992, 
    respectively. Amounts outstanding for these services were $2.8 million 
    and $3.0 million at October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and are 
    included in "Notes receivable and receivables from affiliates."

    IB&T earned fees from investment companies sponsored by the Company for 
    custodial, bookkeeping and pricing services of $3.6 million, $3.0 million 
    and $2.8 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

    Investment companies sponsored by the Company had approximately $2.0 
    million and $0.3 million of cash on deposit at IB&T on October 31, 1994

    the Company totaling $1.6 million and $1.3 million, at October 31, 1994 
    and 1993, respectively.

14. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
    On April 15, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the 
    purchase by the Company of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's 
    non-voting common stock at a cost to be determined at the time of 
    purchase. Through October 31, 1994, 234,000 shares had been acquired 
    under this plan.

15. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
    The broker/dealer subsidiary of the Company, Eaton Vance Distributors, 
    Inc., is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission uniform net 
    capital rule (Rule 15c3 - 1) which requires the subsidiary to maintain a 
    certain minimum level of net capital (as defined). For purposes of this 
    rule the subsidiary had net capital of $16.5 million, which exceeded the 
    net capital requirement of $0.1 million at October 31, 1994.

    The banking subsidiary, IB&T, is required to maintain certain average 
    cash reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average reserve 
    balance requirement at October 31, 1994, was $3.3 million. IB&T is also 
    required to maintain certain minimum capital ratios. Management believes 
    that IB&T was in compliance with all such capital requirements at October 
    31, 1994.

    of the interest-rate floor contracts was $80.0 million. Management of 
    IB&T does not anticipate significant credit loss from these instruments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND 
SHAREHOLDERS OF EATON VANCE CORP.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eaton Vance 
Corp. and its subsidiaries as of October 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1994. These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all 
material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Corp. and its 
subsidiaries as of October 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their 
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended October 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, 
effective November 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for 
income taxes to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
109.
