An investment in any money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the US government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any government agency. Although the Fund seeks to maintain the value of an investment at $1.00 per share it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Dividend yields and returns have been enhanced due to expense limitations initiated by the Adviser. Equity funds involve the risk that the underlying investments may lose value. Accordingly, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds. Investing in gold stocks is considered speculative and is affected by a variety of worldwide economic, financial, and political risks. Small capitalization companies present greater risks than securities of larger more established companies. They trade less frequently and experience more abrupt price movements. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, sales charges and expense of the fund carefully before investing. The prospectus contains more complete information about this and other matters. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Revenues
For the third quarter of 2007, investment advisory fees were $58.4 million, an increase of $8.6 million or 17.4% compared to the year ago quarter:
| Our closed-end funds revenues climbed 19.5% to $12.8 million in the third quarter 2007 from $10.7 million in 2006, driven by investment returns and the launch of our new fund, the Gabelli Global Deal Fund. |
| Open-end mutual funds generated revenues of $24.1 million, 23.1% higher than the $19.6 million generated in the third quarter 2006. |
| Institutional and high net worth separate accounts revenues increased 14.7% to $21.0 million from $18.3 million in third quarter 2006, mostly traceable to investment performance. |
| Investment Partnership revenues were $0.5 million, down 54.2%, or $0.6 million from the 2006 quarter. |
Commission revenues from our institutional research business, Gabelli & Company, Inc., continued to climb, up 24.8% from the prior year at $3.5 million. The increase was primarily due to continued recognition of our growing institutional research and sales efforts.
Mutual fund distribution fees and other income were $6.6 million for the third quarter 2007, an increase of $1.2 million, or 20.9%, higher than the $5.4 million in third quarter 2006.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, investment advisory fees were $172.6 million, an increase of $18.9 million or 12.3% compared to the year ago period:
| Our closed-end funds revenues were up 18.0% to $37.4 million versus the $31.7 million in 2006, as a result of investment returns and the launch of the Gabelli Global Deal Fund in February 2007. |
| Open-end mutual funds revenues grew 15.0% to $68.8 million from $59.8 million in 2006 based on higher average AUM. |
| Institutional and high net worth separate account revenues increased 7.6% to $62.8 million from $58.4 million reported in 2006. |
| Investment Partnership revenues were down $0.2 million to $3.5 million from $3.7 million in the prior period. |
Commission revenues from our institutional research business, Gabelli & Company, Inc., were $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, up 25.8% from the prior year’s comparable amount of $9.2 million. The increase was primarily due to continued recognition of our growing institutional research and sales efforts.
Mutual fund distribution fees and other income were $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $3.2 million, or 19.8%, from the $16.0 million in the 2006 period.
Operating Margin
It is important to note that in the third quarter GAMCO received a portion of the proceeds from previously-disclosed insurance claims. The insurance carrier paid $3.8 million of claims submitted to it in prior quarters. These proceeds are in our operating income.
The operating margin before management fee was 39.3% for the third quarter of 2007 (44.8% after this special adjustment) compared to 37.2% in the prior year period. The operating margin before management fee was 37.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 30.6% in the prior year period.
Other Income / Expense
Total other income (which represents primarily investment income from our proprietary investments), net of interest expense, was sharply lower at $4.5 million for the third quarter 2007 compared to $9.0 million in 2006.
Total other income, net of interest expense, was $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $41.5 million in 2006.
The management fee for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $3.5 million versus $3.1 million in 2006. The management fee for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $10.4 million versus $8.3 million in 2006.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 42.2% compared to the prior year quarter’s effective rate of 37.5%. The higher effective tax rate reflects adjustments as we settled tax audit open items in tax returns prior to 2004, without which our effective tax rate would have been 37.7%. The effective tax rate was 40.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to 38.9% in the prior year’s comparable period. The effective rate for the nine months before tax audit adjustments would be 38.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

| | 3 Morningstar RatingTM as of September 30, 2007. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees) placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in an investment category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars and the bottom 10% receive one star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three, five, and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Morningstar Ratings are shown for the respective class shown; other classes may have different performance characteristics. There were 1,095 Large Value funds rated for three years, 856 funds for five years and 398 funds for ten years (GAMCO Westwood Equity Fund - rated 4 stars overall, 5 stars for the three year period, and 4 stars for the five and ten year periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively).

Financial Highlights
Statement of Financial Condition – Liquidity and Flexibility
We ended the quarter with approximately $696.4 million in cash and investments, which is net of $2.6 million of cash and investments held by our consolidated investment partnerships. This included approximately $137.2 million of our investments in The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Global Deal Fund, Westwood Holdings Group, various Gabelli and GAMCO open-end mutual funds as well as other investments classified as available for sale securities. Our debt consisted of $100 million of 5.5% senior notes due May 2013 and a $50.0 million 6% convertible note due August 2011. We had cash and investments in securities, net of debt and minority interest, of $19.23 per share on September 30, 2007 compared with $17.12 per share on December 31, 2006 and $16.54 per share on September 30, 2006. We caution that this metric, while correct from an accounting point of view, is not always the same as investors would view cash-on-hand.
Stockholders' equity was $475.7 million or $16.94 per share on September 30, 2007 compared to $451.6 million or $15.99 per share on December 31, 2006 and $419.2 million or $14.84 per share on September 30, 2006.
Shareholder Compensation
Dividends - We paid $1.00 per share extra on July 30, 2007
Consistent with the goals stated in our annual report that we expect to pay shareholders compensation of at least 40% of our earnings in the form of stock buybacks or dividends, our Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $1.00 per share to all GBL Class A and Class B shareholders, payable on July 30, 2007 to shareholders of record on July 23, 2007. This was in addition to our regular quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share, GAMCO paid its first dividend in the amount of $0.02 per share to its Class A shareholders in December 2003 and began paying a quarterly dividend to all shareholders in June 2004. Since that time, GAMCO has paid a total of approximately $90 million, or $3.08 per share in dividends to Class A and Class B shareholders, including $2.70 per share in prior special dividends.
Share Repurchase
In the third quarter of 2007, we repurchased 52,000 shares at an average investment of $47.31 per share. For the first nine months of 2007, we repurchased 166,200 shares at an average investment of $45.53 per share. Through September 30, 2007, we repurchased 4,835,858 class A common shares at an average investment of $39.66 per share since our buyback program was initiated in March 1999. The total amount of shares currently available for repurchase under the current authorization is approximately 882,000 shares at September 30, 2007.
Shares outstanding on September 30, 2007 were 28.1 million, level with June 30, 2007 shares and approximately 0.6% lower than 28.2 million shares outstanding on September 30, 2006. Fully diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2007 were 29.1 million, level with second quarter 2007 fully diluted shares outstanding and 0.5% below our fully diluted shares of 29.2 million for the third quarter 2006.
Financial Results
In the first quarter of 2006, the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 04-5 (“EITF 04-5”) required the consolidation of our investment partnerships and offshore funds managed by our subsidiaries into our consolidated financial statements. However, since we amended the agreements of five investment partnerships and an offshore fund on March 31, 2006 to add substantive kickout rights, FIN 46R and EITF 04-5 only required us to consolidate these entities on our consolidated condensed statement of income for the first quarter 2006. Accordingly, to provide a better understanding of our core results and trends, GAMCO has provided the 2006 results before adjusting the first quarter 2006 results for FIN 46R and EITF 04-5 on these partnerships and this fund. These results are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to results presented in accordance with GAAP is presented in Table V.
NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
A. | Cash and investments as adjusted have been computed as follows: (in millions) |
| | | 9/30/06 | | | 12/31/06 | | | 9/30/07 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 112.1 | | | $ | 138.1 | | | $ | 195.9 | |
| Investments (marketable securities) | | | 469.5 | | | | 479.2 | | | | 336.1 | |
| Total cash and investments (marketable securities) | | | 581.6 | | | | 617.3 | | | | 532.0 | |
| Net amounts receivable/(payable) from/to brokers | | | 45.4 | | | | 17.3 | | | | 29.8 | |
| Adjusted cash and investments (marketable securities) | | | 627.0 | | | | 634.6 | | | | 561.8 | |
| Investments (available for sale) | | | 92.6 | | | | 102.0 | | | | 137.2 | |
| Total adjusted cash and investments | | $ | 719.6 | | | $ | 736.6 | | | $ | 699.0 | |
We believe adjusted cash and investments is a more useful measure of the company’s liquidity for analytical purposes.
Net amounts receivable/(payable) from/to brokers reflect cash and cash equivalents held with brokers and cash payable for securities purchased and recorded on a trade date basis for which settlement occurs subsequent to period end.
| B. | Operating income before management fee expense is used by management for purposes of evaluating its business operations. We believe this measure is useful in illustrating the operating results of GAMCO Investors, Inc (the "Company") as management fee expense is based on pre-tax income, which includes non-operating items including investment gains and losses from the Company’s proprietary investment portfolio and interest expense. The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense to operating income is provided in Table IV. |
| C. | Beginning January 1, 2006, the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 04-5 (“EITF 04-5”) require consolidation of the majority of our investment partnerships and offshore funds managed by our subsidiaries into our consolidated financial statements. However, since we amended the agreements of five investment partnerships and an offshore fund on March 31, 2006, FIN46R and EITF 04-5 only required us to consolidate these entities on our consolidated condensed statement of income for the first quarter 2006. We were not required to consolidate these entities on our consolidated condensed statement of financial condition at March 31, 2006. In addition, these partnerships and offshore funds, for which the agreements were amended, are not required to be consolidated within our consolidated condensed statement of income or on our consolidated condensed statement of financial condition in future periods as long as we continue to not maintain a direct or indirect controlling financial interest. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the consolidation of these entities had no impact on net income but did affect the classification of income between operating and other income. As a result, in Table V, we have also provided our results before adjusting for FIN 46R and EITF 04-5 on these partnerships and this fund. |
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Our disclosure and analysis in this press release contain some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs include, without limitation: the adverse effect from a decline in the securities markets; a decline in the performance of our products; a general downturn in the economy; changes in government policy or regulation; changes in our ability to attract or retain key employees; and unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of governmental and self-regulatory organizations. We also direct your attention to any more specific discussions of risk contained in our Form 10-K and other public filings. We are providing these statements as permitted by the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations or if we receive any additional information relating to the subject matters of our forward-looking statements.
