For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

• The six months ending October 31, 2009, were marked by a worldwide rally across the spectrum of riskier assets. The pace of economic deterioration slowed and then rebounded slightly in these six months, compared to the freefall in world economic output witnessed at the end of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. As signs of improving economic fundamentals began to emerge, investors’ aversion to risk reversed course and the capital markets staged a comeback.
• The loan market, as measured by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the Index), gained 23.08% for the six months ending October 31, 2009, one of the highest six-month returns in the history of the asset class.1 Performance was driven by a combination of technical factors, which improved the market’s supply and demand picture. On the supply side, limited new loan issuance and a contraction of the existing supply through loan repayments reduced the available universe of purchasable loans. On the demand side, little selling activity and modest but steady inflows helped loan prices improve significantly. Modest improvements in loan fundamentals, or a deceleration of credit deterioration in many cases, also contributed to the increase in prices during the period. The default rate for the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index reached 12.0% as of October 31, 2009—near historical post-recession peaks.
• The high-yield market also experienced a comeback during the six-month period. The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index returned 29.16% during the period.1 High-yield spreads—the additional yield over U.S. Treasury bonds of comparable maturity—narrowed significantly, from 1,330 basis points (13.3%) as of April 30, 2009, to 760 basis points (7.6%) as of October 31, 2009. Lower-quality paper led performance during the period, with CCC-rated issues performing the best, followed by BB-rated and B-rated bonds. The new-issue market remained strong, with the year-to-date total at almost $110 billion in new issues, roughly three times the amount of issuance during the first nine months of 2008. Defaults continued to increase, as Moody’s Investors Service reported speculative-grade defaults hitting 12.4% at the end of October 2009. This compares closely with historical peaks in past recessions of 11.01% in January 2002 and 12.07% in mid-1991.
• The mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market benefited from government programs aimed at bolstering the economy and the housing market. One of the most significant positives for the MBS market was the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) purchase of MBS in the secondary market. This program, designed to sustain lower mortgage rates, started in January 2009. By the end of October, the Fed had purchased just under one trillion dollars in U.S. government agency MBS.

1 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index’s total return reflects changes in value of the loans constituting the Index and accrual of interest. The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index reflects the performance of below-investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. The BofA Merrill Lynch Mortgage Master Index consists of fixed-rate, coupon-bearing bonds that are comprised of generic pass-through securities that are composed of numerous mortgage pools with various maturities. The Indices do not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the instruments represented in the Indices. Unlike the Fund, an Index’s return does not reflect the effect of leverage. |
|
2 | | Performance results reflect the effect of leverage. |
|
3 | | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Fund’s 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 market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Fund’s performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price performance generally reflects investment results over time, during shorter periods, returns at market price can also be affected by factors such as changing perceptions about the Fund, market conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for the Fund’s 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 Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

Management Discussion
• The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in two distinct investment categories: 1) U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS); and 2) investments rated below investment-grade, which include (but are not limited to) senior, secured loans and high-yield bonds. As of October 31, 2009, the Fund was 28.6% invested in seasoned U.S. government agency MBS and 65.2% invested in below-investment-grade securities, with 33.5% invested in senior, secured loans and and 31.7% invested in high-yield corporate bonds. During the six-month period, the Fund experienced strong total returns—driven primarily by its bank loan and high-yield bond investments—of 25.81% at market price and 27.48% at NAV.
• Within the MBS sector, the focus remained on seasoned, fixed-rate, U.S. government agency MBS (seasoned MBS) during the period. Typically, the mortgage loans underlying seasoned MBS were originated in the 1980s and 1990s. As a result, they have generally lower loan-to-home value ratios, meaning that these homeowners have more equity in their homes than the average borrower. In addition, these loans are guaranteed by government agencies. Seasoned MBS yield spreads tightened approximately 50 basis points over the six months. Principal prepayments remained stable, paying consistently at an annualized rate in the low teens.
• In the bank loan market, the six-month period witnessed a “junk rally,” with the market’s lowest-quality loans skyrocketing back to life. As a result, the Fund’s relative underweight to the lower-quality bank loans, including second-lien loans and those rated below CCC, detracted slightly from performance relative to the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index. In terms of industry sectors, a relative overweight to the cable television, leisure goods, activities and movies, and business equipment and services industries contributed positively to performance, while underweights to the automotive, lodging and casino industries detracted.
• The Fund’s high-yield bond investments benefited from a bias toward B rated issues and an overweight to CCC rated issues relative to the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index. Company selection within the paper and retail industries, coupled with modest overweight positions to each, contributed positively to portfolio returns during the period. A broad underweight to the utilities sector also helped relative performance during the period. Banking and diversified financial services detracted from performance, as management underweighted these sectors relative to the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index.
• As of October 31, 2009, the Fund employed leverage of 32.5% of total assets—10.2% auction preferred shares (APS)1 and 22.3% borrowings. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for income, but at the same time creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares).
| | |
1 | | APS percentage represents the liquidation value of the Fund’s APS outstanding at 10/31/09 as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets applicable to common shares plus APS. In the event of a rise in long-term interest rates, the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio could decline, which would reduce the asset coverage for its APS. |

(1) | | Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) 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, Senior Loans 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 and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. 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 leading rates used by commercial lenders. |

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 source of authoritative accounting principles applied in the preparation of the Fund’s financial statements is the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification), which superseded existing non-Securities and Exchange Commission accounting and reporting standards for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification for the current reporting period did not impact the Fund’s application of generally accepted accounting principles.
A Investment Valuation — Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party 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 valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) 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 short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days and excluding most seasoned mortgage-backed securities) will normally be valued on the basis of quotations provided by third party pricing services. The pricing services will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, reported trades or dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Most seasoned, fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities 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 generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement
33
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of October 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT’D
periods and the Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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 Management generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which Cash Management must comply with certain conditions. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Management may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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, 2009, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $249,771,902 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), April 30, 2016 ($7,967,857) and April 30, 2017 ($127,500,035).
Additionally, at April 30, 2009, the Fund had a net capital loss of $29,217,388 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2008. This net capital loss is treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s taxable year ending April 30, 2010.
As of October 31, 2009, the Fund had 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, 2009 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
34
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of October 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT’D
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 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 may enter into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have 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 manage its credit risk, to gain exposure to a credit in which the Fund may otherwise invest, or to enhance return. When the Fund is the 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 if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event 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 to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Fund is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. 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. Upfront 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 or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of

which it is the buyer, 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.
M Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to October 31, 2009 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
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 weekly for Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D APS, and approximately monthly for Series E 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. 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. Auctions have not cleared since February 13, 2008 and the rate since that date has been the maximum applicable rate (see Note 3). The maximum applicable rate on the APS is 150% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate at the date of the auction.
The number of APS issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2009 is as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | APS Issued and Outstanding | | | |
|
Series A | | | 2,133 | | | |
Series B | | | 2,133 | | | |
Series C | | | 2,133 | | | |
Series D | | | 2,133 | | | |
Series E | | | 2,133 | | | |
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 up to 0.15% of the liquidation value of the APS to broker-dealers as a service fee if the auctions are unsuccessful; otherwise, the annual fee is 0.25%.
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 October 31, 2009, and the amount of dividends paid (including capital gains, if any) to APS shareholders, average APS dividend rates (annualized), and dividend rate ranges for the six months then ended were as follows:

|
|
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 October 31, 2009.
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
36
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of October 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT’D
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.
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. Gross assets as referred to herein represent net assets plus obligations attributable to investment leverage. The portion of the investment adviser fee payable by Cash Management on the Fund’s investment of cash therein is credited against the Fund’s investment adviser fee. For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s investment adviser fee totaled $9,637,849 of which $34,809 was allocated from Cash Management and $9,603,040 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. The Fund concluded its first six full years of operations on May 30, 2009. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM waived $1,379,879 of its investment adviser fee for the six months ended October 31, 2009.
EVM has further agreed to waive its investment adviser fee to the extent that the cost of the committed financing to partially redeem the APS is greater than the dividends and preferred shares service fee that would have been incurred had the APS not been redeemed, hereafter referred to as “incremental cost”. Such waiver is calculated as the lesser of 50% of the Fund’s investment adviser fee on assets attributable to the committed financing or the incremental cost and will remain in effect until October 31, 2009. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM waived $880,432 of its investment adviser fee for the six months ended October 31, 2009.
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 six months ended October 31, 2009, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.

8 Restricted Securities
At October 31, 2009, the Fund owned the following securities (representing less than 0.1% of net assets applicable to common shares) which were restricted as to public resale and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (excluding Rule 144A securities). The Fund has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities. The value of these securities is determined based on valuations provided by brokers when available, or if not available, they are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

9 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange 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 do 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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2009 is as follows:

At October 31, 2009, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, (currently FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815-10), effective May 1, 2009. Such standard 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. The disclosure below includes additional information as a result of implementing FAS 161.
The Fund is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Fund holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund may also enter into such contracts to hedge currency risk of investments it anticipates purchasing.
The forward foreign currency exchange contracts in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. At October 31, 2009, the maximum amount of loss the Fund would incur due to counterparty risk was $106,395, representing the fair value of such derivatives in an asset position.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk at October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair Value |

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the six months ended October 31, 2009, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $84,651,000.
10 Revolving Credit and Security Agreement
Effective April 11, 2008, the Fund entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, as amended (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 were primarily used to partially redeem the Fund’s APS. 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. The Agreement was renewed effective March 31, 2009. 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 0.75% per annum on its outstanding borrowings to administer the facility and a monthly liquidity fee of 0.50% per annum (0.75% per annum prior to September 8, 2009) on the borrowing limit under the Agreement. The Fund also paid an initial structuring fee of $7,156,250 which is being amortized to interest expense over a period of five years, and a renewal fee of $5,367,188, which is being amortized to interest expense over a period of one year through March 2010. The unamortized balances at October 31, 2009 are approximately $7,123,300 and are included in prepaid expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is required to maintain certain net asset levels during the term of the Agreement. At October 31, 2009, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under the Agreement of $585,200,000 at an interest rate of 0.28%. The carrying amounts of the borrowings at October 31, 2009 approximated its fair value. For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the average borrowings under the Agreement and the average interest rate were $643,672,826 and 0.55% (annualized), respectively.
11 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies 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 overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
12 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
| • | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
| • | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
In February 2009, the Fund was authorized to invest in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). The Fund is permitted to invest in CMBS among the other investments in which it may invest in addition to investing at least 25% of its net assets in each of: (i) mortgage-backed securities, and (ii) investments rated below investment grade. The risks associated with CMBS include the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make loan payments, and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. CMBS may be less liquid and exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage- or asset-backed securities.
Beginning December 14, 2009, the Fund may participate in the Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility (“TALF”) program. The TALF is a loan facility administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “New York Fed”) in conjunction with the U.S. Treasury Department. The program provides term financing for eligible asset backed securities (“ABS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), which include those backed by student loans, autos (loan, lease, motorcycle and auto dealer floorplan), credit cards (consumer and business), equipment loans, insurance premium finance loans, small business loans and CMBS, with potential expansion to include private-label residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan and debt obligations and other types of assets deemed appropriate by the New York Fed.
TALF-eligible securities currently consist of U.S. dollar-denominated cash, ABS, qualifying CMBS issued after January 1, 2009 (“New Issuance CMBS”) and qualifying CMBS issued before January 1, 2009 (“Legacy CMBS”). ABS and CMBS must conform to several criteria issued by the Federal Reserve Board to be eligible under the TALF program. In order for New Issuance CMBS and Legacy CMBS to qualify for TALF financing, the underlying mortgage loans must also meet certain criteria.
Under TALF, the New York Fed provides non-recourse funding to eligible borrowers through one or more loans (“TALF loans”) via primary dealers or a group of authorized banks (“Primary Dealers”) as agents. Those Primary Dealers facilitate the lending of money to eligible borrowers (pursuant to a Master Loan and Security Agreement (“MLSA”)), including U.S. organized pooled investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, private equity funds and registered investment companies. The loan process for ABS and New Issuance CMBS entails a borrower purchasing the securities and paying up-front a “haircut” amount (in general currently ranging from 5% to 16%) plus an administration fee (in general currently ten basis points for ABS and 20 basis points for CMBS), in exchange for the Primary Dealer depositing the security into an account held at The Bank of New York Mellon, with the balance of the payment coming from the New York Fed. In the case of Legacy CMBS, the loan process entails a borrower purchasing the CMBS for settlement during the eligible period for TALF subscriptions. Thereafter, the borrower submits a request for a TALF loan through the Primary Dealer on the declared subscription date. The New York Fed reviews all Legacy CMBS requests for acceptance or rejection.
The terms and conditions of the Fund’s participation in the TALF program will be governed by the TALF Standing Loan Facility Procedures and the MLSA. The MLSA will also include representations, warranties and covenants of the Fund and the Primary Dealer. The Fund will also be required to enter into Customer Agreements with its Primary Dealers that will contain additional representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities for the benefit of such Primary Dealer. The TALF program is currently scheduled to terminate on March 31, 2010 for ABS and Legacy CMBS and on June 30, 2010 for New Issuance CMBS.
A borrowing by the Fund under the TALF program is subject to similar risks associated with borrowings from banks as described in the Fund’s prospectus. However, pursuant to a recent no-action letter issued by the Staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in lieu of complying with the 300% asset coverage requirements of Section 18 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Fund need only segregate, on its books or the books of its custodian, liquid assets in an amount equal to the outstanding principal and interest due on the TALF loan. Thus, the combination of this asset segregation requirement and the pledge of TALF-eligible securities ensure that the Fund’s borrowing under the TALF program will, in effect, have asset coverage of at least 200%. Borrowing under the TALF program also may cause the Fund to incur costs, in addition to the interest due, including an administrative fee imposed by the New York Fed and certain other fees that may be charged by the Primary Dealers.
While not anticipated, should the periodic interest and principal payments due on a TALF loan exceed the amounts received on the pledged TALF-eligible security, the Fund may be required to pay such additional amounts from its other portfolio assets which could cause the Fund to sell other securities or investments at times when it might not otherwise choose to do so. In addition, in some instances, the Fund may be deemed to have earned income on the pledged collateral that must be paid out to shareholders under applicable Federal tax regulations without receiving cash sufficient to make such distributions. The Fund has also agreed not to exercise or refrain from exercising any vote, consent or waiver rights under a TALF-eligible security without consent of the New York Fed.
Participation in the TALF program may expose the Fund to, among others, the risks associated with leverage, bridge financing, and non-recourse financing. While the degree of leverage utilized by the Fund will vary depending upon categories of TALF-eligible securities and haircut amounts
41
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS CONT’D
assigned from time to time under the TALF program, all TALF investments will be leveraged significantly, with the effect that fluctuations in the price of the underlying ABS or CMBS could result in high volatility in the value of the net investment and adversely effect the performance of the Fund. The use of leverage has the potential to magnify the gains or the losses on the Fund’s investments. Such risks may be minimized by the non-recourse nature of the TALF loans combined with the limitation on use of TALF-financed investments in the Fund described below.
If the Fund acquires CMBS or ABS in the secondary market it may also be exposed to the risks associated with bridge financing. Given the unique operational aspects of the TALF program, the Fund will be required to provide cash or engage bridge financing for the period between settlement and release of TALF loans by the New York Fed. The Fund may utilize reverse repurchase agreements to provide bridge financing for the purpose of acquiring CMBS believed to be TALF-eligible. The use of financing by the Fund will not exceed the value of cash equivalents available to the Fund to settle its obligation under the reverse repurchase agreement. The Fund is also at risk if the New York Fed chooses to reject, in whole or in part, its request for a TALF loan to finance a specific CMBS CUSIP. In those circumstances, the Fund will bear the risk that such security’s value will decrease, perhaps significantly.
As noted above, the New York Fed as lender generally has limited recourse against the Fund under the terms of each MLSA. Recourse is limited to the collateral securing each TALF loan except in the following circumstances: if the Fund is no longer an eligible borrower, is in breach of certain representations and warranties, fails to reimburse amounts paid to it in error or it fails to exercise its collateral surrender rights at the maturity of a TALF loan and the TALF loan is not repaid in full. In those instances, the New York Fed may seek recourse against the Fund and any guarantor without such recourse being limited to the value of the collateral in respect of the relevant TALF loan. Similar full recourse rights likely will exist for the Primary Dealers under analogous circumstances under the Customer Agreements.

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 27, 2009, 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 2009. 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, 2009, the Board met eighteen times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met seven, five, six, six and six 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.
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 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, including recent changes to such personnel. 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 and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
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.
The Board considered the Adviser’s recommendations for Board action and other steps taken in response to the unprecedented dislocations experienced in the capital markets over recent periods, including sustained periods of high volatility, credit disruption and government intervention. In particular, the Board considered the Adviser’s efforts and expertise with respect to each of the following
44
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT’D
matters as they relate to the Fund and/or other funds within the Eaton Vance family of funds: (i) negotiating and maintaining the availability of bank loan facilities and other sources of credit used for investment purposes or to satisfy liquidity needs; (ii) establishing the fair value of securities and other instruments held in investment portfolios during periods of market volatility and issuer-specific disruptions; and (iii) the ongoing monitoring of investment management processes and risk controls. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser’s actions with respect to the Auction Preferred Shares (“APS”) issued by the Fund, including the Adviser’s efforts to seek alternative forms of debt and other leverage that may over time reduce financing costs associated with APS and enable the Fund to restore liquidity for APS holders.
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.
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-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2008 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, 2008, 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.
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.
