Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Eaton Vance Corp. (“the Company”) include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company combined the following line items previously reported within non-operating income (expense) into gains and other investment income, net: interest and other income; net gains (losses) on investments and derivative; and foreign currency gains. Also during the second fiscal quarter, interest income and net gains (losses) on bank loans, other investments, and note obligations of the consolidated CLO entity were combined into gains (losses) and other investment income, net, of the consolidated CLO entity. Amounts for the comparative prior fiscal year periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the amounts reported for total non-operating income (expense). See Note 19 for the components of gains and other investment income.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company changed the presentation of its Consolidated Statements of Income. The change relates to the classification of net investment income and net investment gains or losses of consolidated sponsored funds. Net investment income earned by consolidated sponsored funds and net investment gains or losses recognized by consolidated sponsored funds, previously included in other revenue, are now presented as components of gains and other investment income. Management believes the revised presentation is more useful to readers of its financial statements by better highlighting the current earnings effect of the investment results of consolidated sponsored funds. Amounts for the comparative prior fiscal year periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or financial position and do not represent a restatement of any previously reported financial results.

The following tables present the effects of the change in presentation of net investment income and net investment gains or losses earned by consolidated sponsored funds to the Company’s previously reported Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011:

2. Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates all investments in affiliates in which the Company’s ownership exceeds 50 percent or where the Company has control. In addition, the Company consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) (including the below-referenced CLO entity) for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company provides for non-controlling and other beneficial interests in consolidated subsidiaries for which the Company’s ownership is less than 100 percent. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in non-controlled affiliates in which the Company’s ownership ranges from 20 to 50 percent, or in instances in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence but not control (such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company adopted the provisions of a new consolidation standard on November 1, 2010. In conjunction with the adoption, the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of one of the CLO entities for which it acts as collateral manager. As a result, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of that entity in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on November 1, 2010. The assets of the CLO entity cannot be used by the Company, and the note holders of the entity have no recourse to the general credit or assets of the Company.

From time to time, the Company may maintain a controlling financial interest in a sponsored fund. Upon consolidation, the Company assumes the specialized accounting treatment of the fund. All of the underlying investments held by consolidated funds are carried at fair value, with corresponding changes in fair value reflected in gains and other investment income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. When the Company is no longer deemed to control the fund, the fund is deconsolidated and accounted for under another accounting method.

3. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Testing goodwill for impairment

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the existing goodwill impairment guidance. The terms of the amendment permit a reporting entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The new guidance is effective for the Company for the fiscal year that begins on November 1, 2012. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the first quarter and second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company deconsolidated its investments in Eaton Vance Diversified Currency Income Fund and Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Absolute Return Fund, respectively, when its ownership fell below 50 percent. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company deconsolidated its investment in Eaton Vance Multi-Strategy All Market Fund when the Company redeemed all of its shares.

Investments classified as available-for-sale

The following is a summary of the cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale at April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011:

Sponsored funds		$	34,368			$	5,518			$	(45	)		$	39,841

Gross unrealized gains and losses on investments in sponsored funds classified as available-for-sale have been excluded from earnings and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. No investment with a gross unrealized loss has been in a loss position for greater than one year.

The Company reviewed the gross unrealized losses of $0.2 million as of April 30, 2012 and determined that these losses were not other-than-temporary, primarily because the Company has both the ability and intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to recover such losses. The aggregate fair value of investments associated with the unrealized losses was $7.8 million at April 30, 2012.

The following is a summary of the Company’s realized gains and losses upon disposition of sponsored funds classified as available-for-sale for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Substantially all of the Company’s investments are carried at fair value, with the exception of its investments in non-consolidated CLO entities that have not been impaired in the current fiscal period and certain other investments, which are accounted for using the equity or cost method.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such financial assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. The Company did not hold any nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at April 30, 2012 or October 31, 2011.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Financial Instrument		Hierarchy		Valuation Methodology
Cash equivalents		Level 1		Includes investments in money market funds. Fair value is determined based upon unadjusted quoted market prices.
		Level 2		Includes agency securities. Fair value is determined based upon observable inputs other than Level 1 unadjusted quoted market prices, such as quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data.
Investments		Level 1		Includes certain debt and certain equity securities held in the portfolios of consolidated funds and separately managed accounts, which are classified as trading, and investments in non-consolidated sponsored funds, which are classified as available for sale. Fair value is determined based upon unadjusted quoted market prices.
		Level 2		Includes commercial paper, certain debt and equity securities held in the portfolios of consolidated funds and separate accounts, investments in privately offered equity funds that are not listed but have a net asset value that is comparable to mutual funds and investments in portfolios that have a net asset value that is comparable to mutual funds. Fair value is determined using observable inputs other than Level 1 unadjusted quoted market prices, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data. If events occur after the close of the primary market for any security, the quoted market prices may be adjusted for the observable price movements of country-specific market proxies.
Derivative assets and liabilities		Level 2		Includes foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts. Foreign exchange contract pricing is determined by interpolating a value using the spot foreign currency rate based on spot rate and currency exchange rate differentials, which are all observable inputs. Index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts pricing is determined by a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices.

Financial Instrument		Hierarchy		Valuation Methodology
Securities sold, not yet purchased		Level 2		Pricing is determined by a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices.
Assets of consolidated CLO entity		Level 1		Includes investments in money market funds and certain equity securities. Fair value is determined based upon unadjusted quoted market prices.
		Level 2		Includes bank loans and certain debt and equity securities. Fair value is determined based upon valuations obtained from independent third-party broker or dealer prices. These prices are derived from matrix pricing models, which consider information regarding securities with similar characteristics.
		Level 3		Includes warrants, bank loans and certain equity securities. Fair value has been determined using either discounted cash flow analyses or a single broker non-binding quote.
Liabilities of consolidated CLO entity		Level 2		Includes certain debt securities. Fair value is determined based upon observable inputs other than Level 1 unadjusted quoted market prices, such as quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data.
		Level 3		Includes senior and subordinated note obligations issued by the consolidated CLO entity. Fair value is determined primarily using model-based valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the market.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Transfers in and/or out of Levels

The Company’s policy is to recognize any transfers between levels at the end of each fiscal quarter.

During the six month period ended April 30, 2012, $6.9 million of debt securities within consolidated funds were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 due to a decrease in the observability of inputs. During the six month period ended April 30, 2012, $0.3 million of equity securities within separately managed accounts were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 due to a decrease in the observability of inputs. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2011.

During the three month period ended April 30, 2012, $2.6 million of equity securities within separately managed accounts were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 due to an increase in the observability inputs. There were no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 in the six month period ended April 30, 2012. There were no significant transfers between Level 2 and Level 1 during the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2011.

For the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2012, $15,000 of bank loans and other investments in the collateral portfolio of the consolidated CLO entity were transferred from Level 2 to level 3 as a result of a reduction in the availability of significant observable inputs in determining the fair value of a second lien bank loan that defaulted during the period. Fair value was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. For the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2012, $2.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of bank loans and other investments were transferred from Level 3 to level 2 within the collateral portfolio of the consolidated CLO entity due to an increase in the observable inputs used in determining the fair value of these investments. For the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2012, $2.6 million of the senior and subordinated note obligations of the consolidated CLO entity were transferred from Level 3 to level 2 due to an increase in the observable inputs used in determining the fair value of the notes.

Valuation process

The Company elected the fair value option for both the collateral assets held and senior and subordinated notes issued by its consolidated CLO entity upon consolidation to mitigate any accounting inconsistencies between the carrying value of the assets held to provide cash flows for the note obligations and the carrying value of those note obligations.

Senior and subordinated note obligations issued by the Company’s consolidated CLO entity are issued in various tranches with different risk profiles. The notes are valued on a quarterly basis by the Company’s bank loan investment team utilizing an income approach that projects the cash flows of the collateral assets using the team’s assumptions about market yields, collateral reimbursement assumptions, prepayment speeds, forecasted default and recovery rates, callability and other market factors that vary based on the nature of the investments

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in the underlying collateral pool. Once the undiscounted cash flows of the collateral assets have been determined, the bank loan team applies appropriate discount rates that it believes a reasonable market participant would use to determine the discounted cash flow valuation of the notes. The bank loan team routinely monitors market conditions and model inputs for cyclical and secular changes in order to identify any material factors that could influence the Company’s valuation method.

Sensitivity to changes in significant unobservable inputs

For senior and subordinated notes issued by the Company’s consolidated CLO entity, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is generally accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for discount rates. Significant increases in either of these inputs would result in a significantly lower measurement of fair value.

Although the Company believes the valuation methods described above are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges

During the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company reclassified into interest expense $0.2 million of the loss recognized on a Treasury lock transaction in connection with the Company’s issuance of ten-year senior notes in October 2007. At April 30, 2012, the remaining unamortized loss on this transaction was $2.4 million. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.4 million of the loss on the Treasury lock transaction into interest expense.

Other derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting

The Company has entered into a series of foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts to structurally hedge currency risk and market risk associated with its investments in separately managed accounts and consolidated funds seeded for new product development purposes.

At April 30, 2012, the Company had 13 outstanding foreign exchange contracts with five counterparties with an aggregate notional value of $17.8 million; 14 outstanding stock index futures contracts with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $77.6 million; and 24 outstanding commodity futures contracts with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $18.1 million.

The following tables present the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments as of April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011:

8. Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments

Certain financial instruments are not carried at fair value. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these financial instruments at April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011:

		April 30, 2012												October 31, 2011
(in thousands)		Carrying Value				Fair Value				Fair Value Level				Carrying Value				Fair Value
Other investments		$	7,470			$	7,470				3			$	7,470			$	7,470
Notes receivable from stock option exercises		$	4,171			$	4,171				3			$	4,441			$	4,441
Debt		$	500,000			$	571,628				1			$	500,000			$	566,047

All other investments are carried at cost. Fair values for these investments are not estimated unless events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets are not recoverable. Included in other investments is a $6.6 million non-controlling capital interest in Atlanta Capital Management Holdings, LLC (“ACM Holdings”), a partnership that owns certain non-controlling interests of Atlanta Capital Management LLC (“Atlanta Capital Management”). The Company’s interest in ACM Holdings is non-voting and entitles the Company to receive $6.6 million when put or call options for certain non-controlling interests of Atlanta Capital Management are exercised. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The fair value of the investment is determined using a cash flow model which projects future cash flows based upon contractual obligations. Once the undiscounted cash flows have been determined, the Company applied an appropriate discount rate. The inputs to the model are considered Level 3.

Notes receivable from stock option exercises represent loans to employees under the Employee Loan Program for the purpose of financing the exercise of employee stock options. Loans are made for a seven-year period, at varying fixed interest rates and are payable in annual installments. The carrying value of the notes receivable approximates fair value. The fair value of the notes is determined using a cash flow model which projects cash flows based upon the contractual terms of the notes. Once the undiscounted cash flows have been determined, the Company applies an appropriate market yield. The inputs to the model are considered Level 3.

The fair value of the Company’s debt has been determined using publicly available market prices, which are considered Level 1 inputs.

9. VIEs

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains investments in sponsored CLO entities and privately offered equity funds that are considered VIEs. These variable interests generally represent seed investments made by the Company, as collateral manager or investment advisor, to launch or market these vehicles. The Company receives management fees for the services it provides as collateral manager or investment advisor to these entities. These fees may also be considered variable interests.

To determine whether or not the Company should be treated as the primary beneficiary of a VIE, management must make significant estimates and assumptions regarding probable future cash flows of the VIE. These estimates and assumptions relate primarily to market interest rates, credit default rates, pre-payment rates, discount rates, the marketability of certain securities and the probability of certain outcomes.

As described in Note 2, the Company adopted the provisions of a new consolidation standard on November 1, 2010 that resulted in the consolidation of a CLO entity.

The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for all financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated CLO entity upon adoption of the new accounting guidance. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. Although the subordinated note obligations of the CLO entity have certain equity characteristics, the Company has determined that the subordinated notes should be recorded as liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The assets of this CLO entity are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of the entity. The Company has no right to the benefits from, nor does the Company bear the risks associated with, the assets held by the entity beyond the Company’s minimal direct investment and beneficial interest therein and management fees generated from the entity. The note holders of the CLO entity have no recourse to the Company’s general assets. There are neither explicit arrangements nor does the Company hold implicit variable interests that would require the Company to provide any ongoing financial support to the entity.

The following tables present, as of April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011, the fair value of the consolidated CLO entity’s assets and liabilities subject to fair value accounting:

Unpaid principal balance		$	474,515			$	1,192			$	500,066

During the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the changes in the fair values of the CLO entity’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net gains of $8.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively, while an increase in the fair value of the CLO’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $5.3 million and $22.4 million, respectively. The combined net gains of $3.2 million and net losses of $18.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were recorded as gains (losses) and other investment income of the consolidated CLO entity on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for these periods.

During the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the changes in the fair values of the CLO entity’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net gains of $15.9 million and $13.5 million, respectively, while an increase in the fair value of the CLO’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $7.9 million and $35.3 million, respectively. The combined net gains of $8.0 million and net losses of $21.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were recorded as gains (losses) and other investment income of the consolidated CLO entity on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for these periods.

Substantially all gains (losses) related to the CLO entity’s bank loans, other investments and note obligations recorded in earnings for the periods were attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

The CLO entity’s note obligations bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which ranges from 0.21 percent to 1.50 percent. The principal amounts outstanding of the note obligations issued by the CLO entity mature on April 20, 2019. The CLO entity may elect to reinvest any prepayments received on bank loans or other investments prior to April 2012. Any subsequent prepayments received must be used to pay down its note obligations.

Interest income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis and reported as gains (losses) and other investment income and as interest expense in other income (expense) of the consolidated CLO entity on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012.

At April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011, the following carrying amounts related to the consolidated CLO entity were included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

10. Acquisitions

Tax Advantaged Bond Strategies (“TABS”)

In December 2008, the Company acquired the TABS business of M.D. Sass Investors Services for cash and future consideration. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company made a contingent payment of $12.3 million to the selling group based upon prescribed multiples of TABS’s revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The payment increased goodwill by $12.3 million as the acquisition was completed prior to the change in accounting for contingent purchase price consideration. The Company will be obligated to make four additional annual contingent payments to the selling group based on prescribed multiples of TABS’s revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016. All future payments will be in cash and will result in an addition to goodwill. These payments are not contingent upon any member of the selling group remaining an employee of the Company.
