Economic and Market Conditions
· The year ended April 30, 2008 was a period of significant challenges for the U.S. economy and its financial markets. The credit crisis, which began with the subprime mortgage crisis in August, 2007, left investors seeking shelter in higher quality bonds. A broad-based flight to quality resulted in a significant widening in all U.S. credit markets, ranging from mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to below investment-grade corporate debt. During the period, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) cut interest rates, lowering the Federal Funds Rate from 5.25% at April 30, 2007, to 2.00% by April 30, 2008. The short end of the yield curve experienced a significant drop in interest rates, as the yield curve steepened.
· Within the credit markets, yield spread widening left no market unscathed. The yield spread in seasoned U.S. agency MBS, among the highest quality securities, widened by approximately 145 basis points (1.45%) over the year. The yield spread in below investment grade corporate debt, at the opposite end of the quality spectrum, had widened approximately 550 basis points (5.50%) before ending the period approximately 400 basis points (4.00%) wider than at April 30, 2007. Senior, secured bank loans fared slightly better in spread terms; however, on a total return basis, this sector underperformed during the period.
Management Discussion
· The Funds investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in three distinct investment categories: 1) seasoned U.S. agency MBS; 2) senior, secured floating rate loans; and 3) below investment grade corporate bonds (high yield). As of April 30, 2008, the Fund had an overweight (greater than one-third) investment in senior, secured loans (38.5%), with a slight underweight (less than one-third) in seasoned U.S. agency MBS (29.1%) and high yield (27.5%).
· During the year ended April 30, 2008, the market-wide sell-off that affected all fixed-income and equity asset classes in the second half of the year had a significant and unprecedented effect on the senior loan market. Average loan prices, which had fallen about 4%-5% by December 2007, declined a further 7%-8% by mid-February 2008 before recovering somewhat by the end of that month. Along with the tentative return of market confidence, loan prices have been rising since mid-March 2008 and increased approximately 4%-5% by April 30, 2008 from their mid-February 2008 bottom. Default rates increased to 1% but remained well below historical averages of 3%. The Funds senior loan holdings remained diversified with respect to industry, geography and borrower. At the end of the period, the largest industry holdings were health care, cable and satellite television, publishing, business equipment and services, and leisure goods, activities and movies. The majority of these industries tended to be non-cyclical, and within each there was further diversity of individual borrowers and geography, with larger exposures possessing good capital structures, strong collateral value and attractive yields. Exposure to more highly cyclical industries, such as home builders and financial

Distribution Rate is based on the Funds most recent monthly distribution per share (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Funds monthly distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. |
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. The Funds performance at market share price will differ from its results at NAV. Although share price performance generally reflects investment results over time, during shorter periods, returns at share price can also be affected by factors such as changing perceptions about the Fund, market conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for the Funds shares, or changes in Fund distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Funds current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Absent an expense waiver by the investment adviser, the returns would be lower. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
Fund shares 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.

intermediaries, was minimal at the end of the period. The Fund had no exposure to subprime mortgages or mortgage lenders through April 30, 2008. The Funds exposure to senior, secured loans was a drag on the Funds performance for the period.
· The high-yield bond markets returns were essentially flat for the year ended April 30, 2008, but were pulled lower in the second half of the year by the continuing effects of the subprime crisis, declining home values and a weakening economy. After significant deterioration in late 2007 and early 2008, the market began to rally in mid-March 2008. The Feds injection of liquidity into the credit markets gave rise to hopes that the worst of the credit crisis may have passed. The market rally continued through April, posting one of the strongest one-month rallies in high-yield bond history. Within its high-yield holdings, the gaming sector was a modest drag on Fund performance, as investors feared the consequences of a pullback in leisure and travel expenditures. Emerging telecommunications bonds also struggled, as companies found it difficult to gain a competitive foothold in a slow economy. Energy and paper bonds were among the better performers. Exploration and production companies benefited from the continuing surge in oil prices during the period. Selected retail bonds fared well later in the period. Unlike many big box retailers that have been negatively affected by a weak economy, some specialty retailers have enjoyed relatively stable earnings. Performance was also helped by an underweighting in the troubled auto sector, and by short maturities in the few auto holdings in the Fund.
· The second half of the year was among the most volatile periods in decades for the MBS sector. The credit crunch, which began in 2007 as a result of problems associated with subprime lending, worsened in early 2008 amid declining home values and a weakening economy. As foreclosures surged among subprime borrowers, investors became increasingly risk-averse, even with respect to higher-quality, seasoned U.S. agency MBS, and the seasoned U.S. agency MBS market reflected investor concerns. At mid-March 2008, the financial markets began to stabilize as the Fed initiated actions to inject liquidity into the credit markets. In the wake of the Feds actions, the seasoned U.S. agency MBS markets stabilized, although credit remained tight by historical standards. Seasoned U.S. agency MBS had positive returns for the year as a whole but the sectors performance lagged that of Treasuries. While the Funds seasoned U.S. agency MBS felt the impact of the credit crunch, management believed that the underlying credit quality of this segment remained sound. Typically, the mortgages underlying seasoned U.S. agency MBS were originated in the 1980s or 1990s. Due to significant appreciation in home prices since that time, these mortgages typically have lower loan-to-value ratios, meaning that these homeowners have more equity in their homes than the average borrower. In addition, these securities are guaranteed by government agencies. All of these factors together place seasoned U.S. agency MBS among the highest quality securities in the U.S. fixed-income markets. The Fund had no exposure to the subprime lending market or to non-agency MBS. Prepayment rates for the Funds seasoned U.S. agency MBS remained in the 15% range.
· As has been widely reported since mid-February 2008, the normal functioning of the auction market in the U.S. for certain types of auction rate securities has been disrupted by an imbalance between buy and sell orders. Consistent with patterns in the broader market for auction rate securities, the Fund has, since mid-February, experienced unsuccessful APS auctions. In the event of an unsuccessful auction, the affected APS shares remain outstanding, and the dividend rate reverts to the specified maximum payable rate. At April 30, 2008, the Fund had leverage in the amount of approximately 34.7% of the Funds total assets.
· As of May 7, 2008, the Fund redeemed two-thirds of its outstanding APS, representing 21,335 shares and $533,375,000 in liquidation preferences, through debt financing. The Fund was not required to sell portfolio holdings, and the cost to the Fund of the new debt leverage is expected, over time, to be lower than the total cost of the APS based on the maximum applicable dividend rates that apply when auctions do not clear.
· Effective January 30, 2008, Cathy McDermott assumed co-portfolio management responsibilities for Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund. Ms. McDermott joined Eaton Vance in 2000 as a Senior Financial Analyst and Vice President. Previously, Ms. McDermott was a principal and analyst with Cypress Tree Investment Management in Boston and Financial Security Assurance in New York.

* In U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
(1) Senior floating-rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their 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 four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate 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.
(2) Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. See Note 1G for description.
(3) Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
(4) This Senior Loan will settle after April 30, 2008, at which time the interest rate will be determined.
(5) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At April 30, 2008, the aggregate value of the securities is $210,656,801 or 11.5% of the Fund's net assets.
(6) All or a portion of this security was on loan at April 30, 2008.
(7) Adjustable rate mortgage.
(8) Weighted average fixed-rate coupon that changes/updates monthly.
(9) Restricted security.
(10) Non-income producing security.
(11) Variable rate mortgage security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at April 30, 2008.
(12) Affiliated investment company available to Eaton Vance portfolios and funds which invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of April 30, 2008.
(13) Defaulted security. Currently the issuer is in default with respect to interest payments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the Fund) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund may, as a secondary objective, also seek capital appreciation to the extent it is consistent with its primary objective.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of prices furnished by an independent pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the following valuation techniques: (i) 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; (ii) a comparison of the value of the borrower's outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (iii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iv) 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 relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Fund based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Fund. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Fund. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser's Valuation Committee and by the
Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Debt obligations, including listed securities and securities for which quotations are available will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations provided by independent pricing services. The pricing services consider various factors relating to bonds and/or market transactions to determine market value. Most seasoned fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are valued through the use of the investment adviser's matrix pricing system, which takes into account bond prices, yield differentials, anticipated prepayments and interest rates provided by dealers. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days, they will be valued by a pricing service.
Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by an independent pricing service. Credit default swaps are valued by a broker-dealer (usually the counterparty to the agreement). Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued using prices supplied by a pricing vendor. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an independent quotation service. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund considering relevant factors, data and information including the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded.
The Fund may invest in Cash Management Portfolio (Cash Management), an affiliated investment company managed by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash
32
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of April 30, 2008
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
Management values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
B Investment Transactions Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C 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.
D Federal Taxes The Fund'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 its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
At April 30, 2008, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $122,271,867 which will reduce its 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 Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on April 30, 2012 ($26,481,368), April 30, 2013 ($40,885,552), April 30, 2014 ($28,843,098), April 30, 2015 ($18,093,992) and April 30, 2016 ($7,967,857).
Additionally, at April 30, 2008, the Fund had a net currency loss of $2,731,111 and a net capital loss of $32,918,267 attributable to foreign currency and security transactions incurred after October 31, 2007. These net currency and capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's taxable year ending April 30, 2009.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective on the last business day of the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has concluded that as of April 30, 2008, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended April 30, 2008 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Foreign Currency Translation Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
G Unfunded Loan Commitments The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments.
H 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
33
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of April 30, 2008
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I Indemnifications Under the Fund'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 Fund, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Fund enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contract has been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Credit Default Swaps The Fund may enter into credit default swap contacts to buy or sell protection against default on an individual issuer or a basket of issuers of bonds. When the Fund is a buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract in the event of default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation. In return, the Fund pays 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 Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Fund 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 obligations. As the seller, the Fund effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded
as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Up-front payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Fund segregates 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 seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
L Statement of Cash Flows The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Fund is the amount included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
2 Auction Preferred Shares
The Fund issued Auction Preferred Shares (APS) on July 25, 2003 in a public offering. The underwriting discount and other offering costs incurred in connection with the offering were recorded as a reduction of the paid-in capital of the common shares. Dividends on the APS, which accrue daily, are cumulative at rates which are reset every seven days by an auction, unless a special dividend period has been set. Series of APS are identical in all respects except for the reset dates of the dividend rates. Rates are reset weekly for Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D APS, and approximately monthly for Series E APS. If the APS auctions do not successfully clear, the dividend payment rate over the next period for the APS holders is set at a specified maximum applicable rate until such time as the APS auctions are successful. The maximum applicable rate on the APS is 150% of the "AA" Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate on the date of the auction.
The number of APS issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2008 is as follows:
APS Issued and Outstanding |
|||||||
Series A | 6,400 | ||||||
Series B | 6,400 | ||||||
Series C | 6,400 | ||||||
Series D | 6,400 | ||||||
Series E | 6,400 |
The APS are redeemable at the option of the Fund 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 Fund is in default for an extended period on its asset maintenance requirements with respect to the APS. If the dividends on the APS 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 Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverage with respect to the APS as defined in the Fund's By-Laws and the 1940 Act. The Fund pays an annual fee equivalent to 0.25% of the liquidation value of the APS for the remarketing efforts associated with the APS auctions.
Effective April 11, 2008, the Fund's Trustees approved a committed financing arrangement (see Note 10) and the planned redemption of approximately two-thirds of the Fund's outstanding APS of each series at a liquidation price of $25,000 per share. The APS are expected to be redeemed at the next dividend payable date on or after May 1, 2008. As of May 7, 2008, 4,267 shares of each series of the Fund's APS were redeemed.
3 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income to common shareholders, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS. In addition, at least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains, (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any). Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and are payable at the end of each dividend period. The dividend rates for the APS at April 30, 2008, and the amount of dividends paid (including capital gains, if any) to APS shareholders, average APS dividend rates, and dividend rate ranges for the year then ended were as follows:
Series APS Dividend Rates at April 30, 2008 |
Dividends Paid to APS Shareholders |
Average APS Dividend Rates |
Dividend Rate Ranges |
||||||||||||
A 3.64% | $ | 8,124,103 | 5.04 | % | 3.61 | % 7.50% | |||||||||
B 3.85% | $ | 8,131,436 | 5.07 | % | 3.61 | % 7.50% | |||||||||
C 3.89% | $ | 8,092,171 | 5.04 | % | 3.61 | % 6.60% | |||||||||
D 4.12% | $ | 8,097,248 | 5.05 | % | 3.53 | % 7.50% | |||||||||
E 4.17% | $ | 8,024,703 | 5.00 | % | 3.53 | % 7.25% |
Beginning February 13, 2008 and consistent with the patterns in the broader market for auction-rate securities, the Fund's APS auctions were unsuccessful in clearing due to an imbalance of sell orders over bids to buy the APS. As a result, the dividend rates of the APS were reset to the maximum applicable rate. The table above reflects such maximum dividend rate for each series as of April 30, 2008.
The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles 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. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 was as follows:
Year Ended April 30, | |||||||||||
2008 | 2007 | ||||||||||
Distributions declared from: | |||||||||||
Ordinary income | $ | 210,615,399 | $ | 209,490,259 |
During the year ended April 30, 2008, accumulated net realized loss was increased by $14,261,951, accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $7,072,551, and paid-in capital was increased by $7,189,400 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for mixed straddles, swap contracts, paydown gain (loss), premium amortization and foreign currency gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of April 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
Capital loss carryforward and post October losses | $ | (157,921,245 | ) | ||||
Net unrealized depreciation | $ | (145,385,898 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to premium amortization, swap contracts, investments in partnerships and wash sales.

4 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average weekly gross assets and is payable monthly. The portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management on the Fund's investment of cash therein is credited against the Fund's adviser fee. For the year ended April 30, 2008, the Fund's adviser fee totaled $22,870,309 of which $179,428 was allocated from Cash Management and $22,690,881 was paid or accrued directly by the Fund. EVM also serves as administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. In addition, EVM has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for fees and other expenses at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average weekly gross assets during the first five full years of the Fund's operations, 0.15% of the Fund's average weekly gross assets in year six, 0.10% in year seven and 0.05% in year eight. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM waived $6,098,749 of its adviser fee for the year ended April 30, 2008.
Except for Trustees of the Fund who are not members of EVM's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended April 30, 2008, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.

The Fund has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities.

9 Financial Instruments
The Fund 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 may include forward foreign currency exchange 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 Fund 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.

10 Revolving Credit and Security Agreement
Effective April 11, 2008, the Fund entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the Agreement) with conduit lenders and a bank to borrow up to an initial limit of $715,625,000 for a period of five years, the proceeds of which are primarily intended to partially redeem the Fund's APS (see Note 2). The Agreement provides for a renewable 364-day backstop financing arrangement, which ensures that alternate financing will continue to be available to the Fund should the conduits be unable to place their commercial paper. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund. Interest is charged at a rate above the conduits' commercial paper issuance rate and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays a monthly program fee of 0.60% per annum on its outstanding borrowings to administer the facility and a monthly liquidity fee of 0.40% per annum on the borrowing limit under the Agreement. The Fund also paid a structuring fee of $7,156,250, which is included as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is being amortized to interest expense over a period of five years. The Fund is required to maintain certain net asset levels during the term of the Agreement. For the period from April 11, 2008 through April 30, 2008, the Fund did not incur any borrowings under the Agreement.
11 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by entities whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
12 Securities Lending Agreement
The Fund has established a securities lending agreement in which the Fund lends portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. Under the agreement, the Fund continues to earn interest on the securities loaned. Collateral received is generally cash, and the Fund invests the cash and receives any interest on the amount invested but it must pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. The loan rebate fee paid by the Fund offsets a portion of the interest income received and amounted to $14,910,148 for the year ended April 30, 2008. At April 30, 2008, the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral amounted to $170,615,348 and $174,234,772, respectively. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund is subject to potential loss if it is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on loans. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
13 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), "Fair Value Measurements". FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of April 30, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative instruments. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of April 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the period from the start of business, May 30, 2003 to April 30, 2004. 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 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 Fund 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 Fund'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 April 30, 2008, 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 the Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of April 30, 2008, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the period from the start of business, May 30, 2003 to April 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Fund 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 Fund. 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 American Stock Transfer and Trust Company as dividend paying agent. On the distribution payment date, if the net asset value per Share is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions then new Shares will be issued. The number of Shares shall be determined by the greater of the net asset value per Share or 95% of the market price. Otherwise, Shares generally will be purchased on the open market by the Plan Agent. Distributions subject to income tax (if any) are taxable whether or not shares are reinvested.
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 Fund's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company or you will not be able to participate.
The Plan Agent's service fee for handling distributions will be paid by the Fund. Each participant will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.
Plan participants may withdraw from the Plan at any time by writing to the Plan Agent at the address noted on the following page. If you withdraw, you will receive shares in your name for all Shares credited to your account under the Plan. If a participant elects by written notice to the Plan Agent to have the Plan Agent sell part or all of his or her Shares and remit the proceeds, the Plan Agent is authorized to deduct a $5.00 fee plus brokerage commissions from the proceeds.
If you wish to participate in the Plan and your shares are held in your own name, you may complete the form on the following page and deliver it to the Plan Agent.
Any inquiries regarding the Plan can be directed to the Plan Agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, at 1-866-706-0514.

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 April 21, 2008, 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 Contract Review Committee of the Board (formerly the Special Committee), which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held in February, March and April 2008. Such information included, among other things, the following:

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review 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 April 30, 2008, the Board met eleven times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met twelve, seven 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. The Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee are newly established and did not meet during the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2008.
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 Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review 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 Contract Review 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 Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the "Fund"), and Eaton Vance Management (the "Adviser"), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment 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, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk and special considerations relevant to investing in senior secured floating-rate loans, mortgage-backed securities and high-yield bonds. Specifically, the Board considered the Adviser's in-house research capabilities as well as other resources available to personnel of the Adviser, including research services. 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.
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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D
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 and three-year periods ending September 30, 2007 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Fund (referred to as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund's management fees and total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2007, 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 with and 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 in connection with its relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.
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 at this time. 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.

(1) Eaton Vance Management, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., acts as the registrants investment adviser and administrator.
(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 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 Contract Review Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Boards Contract Review 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. An independent proxy voting service (Agent), currently Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., has been retained to assist in the voting of proxies through the provision of vote analysis, implementation and recordkeeping and disclosure services. The investment adviser will generally vote proxies through the Agent. The Agent is required to vote all proxies and/or refer then back to the investment adviser pursuant to the Policies. It is generally the policy of the investment adviser to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Agent. The Agent shall refer to the investment adviser proxies relating to mergers and restructurings, and the disposition of assets, termination, liquidation and mergers contained in mutual fund proxies. The investment adviser will normally vote against anti-takeover measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible transactions, except in the case of closed-end management investment companies. The investment adviser generally supports management on social and environmental proposals. 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 or the economic effect on shareholders interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant.
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 the personal of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. If such personnel expects to instruct the Agent to vote such proxies in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines of the Policies or the recommendation of the Agent, the personnel will consult with members of senior management of the investment adviser to determine if a material conflict of interests exists. If it is determined that a material conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Contract Review 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. EVM 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.
