Performance
Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value Portfolio returned a solid 11.60% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, while the benchmark Russell 1000 Value Index returned 15.51%. The relative underperformance was largely due to stock selection in the Energy, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors.
Investment Climate
Unemployment started the year at 10% and stayed elevated all year. The gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate began the year at nearly 5%, but tapered down to around 2% mid year, which kept businesses from hiring. Industrial production was one bright spot, however, as companies had to replenish inventories that had been drawn down the prior year and a declining dollar value boosted demand for our exports.
Major economic troubles started to unfold in the second quarter of 2010--Greece’s debt situation, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the sudden drop and rebound in the equities markets in May (also known as the “flash crash”), and more debt woes in Spain and Hungary. All in all it was a very eventful quarter for investors.
The capping of the Gulf of Mexico oil well in the third quarter coincided with other positive economic news. The banking system began to recover, as Wells Fargo announced its loan quality was better than expected. The lengthy period of high unemployment sparked some changes in President Obama’s team of economic advisors and compelled the Federal Reserve to announce another $600 billion for quantitative easing efforts. And Americans voted for change in the November elections, as Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives.
Fortunately, the combination of economic weakness and heightened cautiousness by investors led to lower long-term interest rates, which both companies and countries took advantage of by issuing 100-year bonds. The fact that most major banks have announced plans to raise their dividends should brighten the outlook for 2011, as it signifies balance

Also, major companies have started approving employee pay raises again, although the Obama administration has capped the salaries of federal government employees for two years. Dividend growth coupled with private sector wage growth and some limitations on federal spending should all be positives for the economy heading into 2011.

Portfolio Strategy
Performance of the Telecommunications, Materials, and Utilities sectors contributed to returns. However, stock selection in the Energy, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors more than offset that, leading to the Portfolio’s underperformance.
Detractors from Performance
The fund’s top three detractors from performance were the Energy, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Energy was the biggest negative during the year, primarily due to the hit our holding in BP took after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. We sold the holding in June, as the well had still not been capped and the potential legal liabilities from the spill were still unknown. However, investments in Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips, and Anadarko Petroleum helped offset some of the losses.
Poor stock selection in Information Technology also hurt performance as Cisco Systems, Nokia, and Microsoft were in the bottom 10 of contributors to Portfolio’s returns. An overweight in Tyco Electronics helped partially offset some of the losses. During the second half of the year, we increased our exposure to the sector as valuations became more compelling.
Finally, the lack of exposure to the outperforming Hotels, Restaurants, & Leisure, and Auto Components sub-sectors in Consumer Discretionary also hurt performance. Poor stock selection in the Media sub-sector, an overweight position in News Corp., and the lack of exposure to outperformers such as Time Warner Cable and Viacom also weighed on returns.
contrIbutors to Performance
The Portfolio’s top performing sectors included Telecommunications, Materials, and Utilities. An overweight to the outperforming Telecommunications sector, as well as strong relative stock selection--especially overweights in Frontier and Verizon--helped returns.
Our investment in Materials also outperformed. Specifically, Newmont Mining outperformed as gold prices hit new highs throughout the year. We also profited from a lack of exposure to the weak Construction Materials sub-sector. An underweight to the underperforming Utilities sector also added to returns, as did a lack of exposure to the Multi-Utilities and Independent Power Producers sub-sectors.
In 2010, fears of an impending “double dip” recession led investors to bid up the prices of some extremely defensive holdings--essentially, companies with assured demand regardless of economic growth. As a result, we locked in the gains by selling Kraft, Kroger, and Southern Electric to reinvest in less defensive companies.
We also added Diamond Offshore, Merck, and Hewlett-Packard to the Portfolio, and bought Hartford to partake in the insurance industry’s recovery. These transactions are indicative of our philosophy--to take advantage of excessive market pessimism to add to high quality names and to sell holdings that have already become highly valued and appear to have limited upside.
outlook
The U.S. economy has weathered many negatives over the past few years. It appears that most signs point to a long-awaited recovery, which should lead to more spending and positive economic growth that can be used to reduce the budget deficit. The Federal Reserve’s efforts should generate some loan growth in the private sector, increasing short-term interest rates. However, the equity markets can still do well in this environment as investors who abandoned equities for fixed-income securities over the last few years return.
Given the impending return of job growth to fuel volume growth and pricing power, equities still have an opportunity to provide good returns. Another important valuation yardstick is the disparity between fixed-income securities and stocks issued by the same company. Quite a few holdings took advantage of the extremely low interest rates to issue bonds at rates below dividend yields, which, for most companies, are secure and growing. Therefore, the valuation of equities versus bonds, expectation of more pro-business political policies, and a more secure economic outlook underpin our optimistic outlook for 2011.
January 2011
As of December 31, 2010, the following companies represented the following percentages of Portfolio net assets: Wells Fargo 2.05%, Kraft 0%, Kroger 0%, Southern Electric 0%, Diamond Offshore 2.10%, Merck 1.18%, Hewlett-Packard 1.74%, Hartford 1.86%, BP 0%, Exxon-Mobile 2.21%, ConocoPhillips 2.12%, Andarko Petroleum 0.83%, Cisco 1.47%, Nokia 1.00%, Microsoft 2.05%, Tyco Electronics 1.31%, News Corp. 1.76%, Time Warner Cable 1.48%, Viacom 0%, Frontier 1.59%, Verizon 1.73% and Newmont Mining 0.74%.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

|
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,021.48 | $ | 3.77 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of .74%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Zenith Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | |
| | valuatIon Inputs |

*For further breakdown of Equity Securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $13,780 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), a subsidiary of Calvert, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio.

NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $42,129,883 and $67,196,891, respectively.

The Portfolio’s use of net capital loss carryforwards acquired from Ameritas Income & Growth Portfolio may be limited under certain tax provisions. Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Ordinary income | $ | 2,397,775 | $ | 3,261,948 |
Long term capital gain | | — | | 354,426 |
Total | $ | 2,397,775 | $ | 3,616,374 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings / (accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 14,371,231 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (19,924,735 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | ($ | 5,553,504 | ) |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 699,275 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 39,321,857 | ) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 166,628,225 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales and partnerships.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to partnerships and real estate investment trusts.
Undistributed net investment income | | ($ 31,434 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 53,862 | |
Paid-in capital | | (22,428 | ) |

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745 or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Advisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor���s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies, as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Portfolio. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, includ-
ing, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010 and below the median of its peer group for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were below the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio and management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio and the cost of providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Portfolio from the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not iden-
tify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains appropriate compliance programs; (c) appropriate action is being taken with respect to performance of the Portfolio; (d) the Advisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; and (e) the Portfolio’s advisory fee is reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio returned 14.69%. Its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, returned 15.06% for the period. The portfolio’s relative underperformance was largely attributable to operating expenses.
Investment clImate
Equity markets performed well in 2010, although pockets of turbulence disrupted performance throughout the year. After a strong start, turmoil in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bail-out for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about the stability of European financial markets intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve had announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new highs for the year. In addition, economic growth appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.

*Performance information is for the Portfolio only and does not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
PortfolIo strategy
As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the S&P 500 Index. The index includes 500 of the largest companies in the United States with a total market capitalization of more than $11 trillion. It is widely accepted as a proxy for the performance of stock markets in the United States. The companies in the S&P 500 delivered strong returns during 2010.
Over the full year, the top-performing sectors of the S&P 500 Index, including dividend reinvestment, were Consumer Discretionary (up 27.8%), Industrials (up 26.7%), and Materials (up 22.3%). The worst-performing sectors included Healthcare (up 2.9%), Utilities (up 5.5%), and Information Technology (up 10.2%).
At year-end, the S&P 500 Index was most heavily invested in Information Technology (19.0%) and Financial (16.2%) companies. Other sectors of significant weight included Energy (12.1%), Healthcare (11.0%), and Industrials (11.0%). The Index had the lowest exposure to companies in the Telecommunication Services (3.0%) and Utilities (3.3%) sectors.
The portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the index. The portfolio fully replicates the S&P 500 Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the Index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the index. The S&P 500 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in it is not possible. Unlike the Index, the portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2010, the portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.

outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and in global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings generally will improve. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011 as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at the federal, state, and local levels, may limit domestic economic growth. Finally, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning | | EndIng | | Expenses Paid |
| | Account value | | Account value | | DurIng PerIod* |
| | 7/1/10 | | 12/31/10 | | 7/1/10 - 12/31/10 |
|
Actual | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,230.50 | $ | 2.14 |
|
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,023.29 | $ | 1.94 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.38%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
and Shareholders of Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (formerly, the Summit S&P 500 Index Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit S&P 500 Index Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:

* | For further breakdown of Equity Securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets. |
** | Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. |
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the year, futures contracts were used for cash equitization.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

The Portfolio’s use of capital loss carryforwards may be limited under certain tax provisions.
Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Ordinary income | $ | 3,260,092 | $ | 4,209,282 |
Long term capital gain | | 6,140,094 | | 2,915,695 |
Total | $ | 9,400,186 | $ | 7,124,977 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 59,007,246 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (36,746,475 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 22,260,771 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 1,120,535 | |
Undistributed long term capital gain | $ | 8,187,629 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 12,910,475 | ) |
|
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 214,092,949 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales, real estate investment trusts, Section 1256 contracts, and capital loss carry-forwards subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforwards, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to real estate investment trusts and expired capital losses.

Undistributed net investment income | ($ | 46,995 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 2,157,075 | |
Paid-in capital | | (2,110,080 | ) |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LI-BOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had an outstanding loan balance of $315,580 at the rate of 1.50% at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates $6,140,094 of the long term capital gain distributions paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned amount as capital gain dividend in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 100% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 and at the median of its peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010 and under-performed its Lipper index for the one- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of differing fees and expenses among the funds in the peer group on the Portfolio’s relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies
of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one, three-and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

calvert vp S&P Midcap 400 Index Portfolio
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (Class I) returned a solid 25.98%. Its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) MidCap 400 Index, returned 26.64% for the period. The portfolio’s relative underperformance was largely attributable to operating expenses.
Investment Climate
Equity markets performed well in 2010, although pockets of turbulence disrupted performance throughout the year. After a strong start, turmoil in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bail-out for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about European financial market stability intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new highs for the year. In addition, economic growth appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.
Portfolio Strategy
As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The index includes 400 mid-sized companies that have an average market capitalization of just over

*Performance information is for the Portfolio only and does not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
$2.5 billion. This is significantly smaller than the $20 billion average market capitalization of the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index delivered strong returns for the year, both in absolute terms and relative to the S&P 500 Index.
Over the full year, the top-performing sectors of the S&P MidCap 400 Index, including dividend reinvestment, were Information Technology (up 32.7%), Consumer Discretionary (32.1%), and Energy (30.8%). The worst-performing sectors included Telecommunication Services (up 14.0%), Utilities (14.3%), and Financials (19.7%).
At year-end, the Index was most heavily invested in Financial (19.6%) and Industrial (16.3%) companies. Other sectors of significant weight included Information Technology (16.0%), Consumer Discretionary (14.0%), and Healthcare (11.1%). The portfolio had the lowest exposure to companies in the Telecommunication Services (0.7%) and Consumer Staples (3.6%) sectors.
During 2010, Portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Portfolio fully replicates the S&P MidCap 400 Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the Portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in it is not possible. Unlike the index, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2010, the Portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.
Outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and in global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings generally will improve. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011, as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at the federal, state, and local levels, may limit domestic economic growth. Finally, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 7/1/10 | 12/31/10 | 7/1/10 - 12/31/10 |
| | | |
Class I | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,281.10 | $3.16 |
| | | |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.43 | $2.80 |
| | | |
Class F | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,279.70 | $4.54 |
| | | |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,021.22 | $4.02 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.55% and 0.79%, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
and Shareholders of Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (formerly, the Summit S&P Mid Cap 400 Index Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class I and Class F shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Portfolio may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, securities valued at $10, or 0.0% of net assets were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:

* Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.
** For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.
*** Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying finan-cial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the year, futures contracts were used for cash equitization.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .30% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $45,327 was payable at year end. In addition, $14,485 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .55% and .79% for Class I and Class F, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $15,109 was payable at year end.
Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Distribution plans, adopted by Class F shares, allow the Portfolio to pay the distributor for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed 0.20% annually of average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $192 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $222 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent. Under terms of the agreement, $20 was payable at year end.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $29,554,662 and $23,037,165, respectively.
CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD | | | |
|
EXPIRATION DATE | | | |
31-Dec-15 | ($ | 9,272,556 | ) |
31-Dec-16 | | (6,402,474 | ) |
The Portfolio’s use of net capital loss carryforwards may be limited under certain tax provisions. Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Ordinary income | $ | 1,232,884 | $ | 811,169 |
Total | $ | 1,232,884 | $ | 811,169 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 37,824,785 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (8,361,539 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 29,463,246 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 308,470 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 15,675,030 | ) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 149,380,715 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales, real estate investment trusts, return of capital distributions and Section 1256 contracts.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to real estate investment trusts.

Undistributed net investment income | ($ | 188,342 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 188,342 | |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loan outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010.

In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements presented.
NOTE F — REORGANIZATION
On December 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provides for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Variable Series, Inc., Ameritas MidCap Growth Portfolio (“Ameritas MidCap”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Variable Products, Inc., S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (“S&P MidCap 400”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Ameritas MidCap. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 16, 2010 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2010.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
Merged PortfolIo | shares | AcquIrIng PortfolIo | shares | | value |
AMERITAS MIDCAP | 1,607,954 | S&P MIDCAP 400 | 648,641 | $ | 40,248,159 |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by S&P MidCap 400 were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Ameritas Midcap were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of S&P MidCap 400’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | | | UnrealIzed | | | |
Merged | | Net | | ApprecIatIon | Acquiring | | Net |
PortfolIo | | Assets | | (depreciation) | Portfolio | | Assets |
AMERITAS MIDCAP | $ | 40,248,159 | $ | 5,524,697 | S&P MIDCAP 400 | $ | 117,174,063 |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, S&P MidCap 400’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been as follows:
| | | |
Net investment income | $ | 1,460,750 | (a) |
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments | $ | 35,644,107 | (b) |
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations | $ | 37,104,857 | |
(a) | $1,418,684, as reported, plus $42,066 from Ameritas MidCap pre-merger. |
(b) | $30,852,606, as reported, plus $4,791,501 from Ameritas MidCap pre-merger. |
Because S&P MidCap 400 and Ameritas MidCap sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Ameritas MidCap that have been included in S&P MidCap 400’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2010.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 100% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned percentage as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the
Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP BALANCED INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
PERFORMANCE
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Balanced Index Portfolio returned 11.84%. Its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, returned 15.06% for the period. The portfolio underperformed its benchmark because the benchmark does not include bonds, while the portfolio invests approximately 40% of its assets in bonds. When the portfolio’s performance is compared to a composite index comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, it outperformed. The composite index returned 11.65% for the period.
PROPOSED MERGER
The Directors of the Calvert Variable Products, Inc. have approved Calvert’s recommendation to solicit a shareholder vote for the merger of Calvert VP Balanced Index Portfolio into Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio. Shareholders of Calvert VP Balanced Index Portfolio will be asked to vote on the merger and must approve it before any change may take place. Proxy materials, including the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and a further explanation of the proposed changes, will be sent to shareholders.

Investment clImate
Equity markets performed well in 2010, although pockets of turbulence disrupted performance throughout the year. After a strong start, turmoil in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bail-out for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about European financial market stability intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new highs for the year. In addition, economic growth

Total | 100% |
appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.
Fixed-income markets also performed well in 2010, with a little help from the Federal Reserve. The Fed purchased Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities early in 2010 in an effort to drive down intermediate interest rates. Shortly after the Fed’s stated quantitative easing program was completed, speculation began about a second round of easing which began in the fall. Initially, the Fed’s objective of reducing interest rates was accomplished, as rates on bonds in the two- to 10-year maturity range declined by 50 to 70 basis points.1
That changed in early December, when markets were surprised by a sizable round of fiscal stimulus. This monetary and fiscal support quickly created expectations for improved economic growth and a larger federal deficit (financed by Treasury debt) in 2011. In response, bond yields surged during the fourth quarter. Most major sectors of the bond market, including Treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds, posted losses for the quarter.2
Over the full year, all major taxable bond market sectors posted positive returns, as yields finished mostly lower. The yield on 10-year Treasuries, for example, fell by 55 basis points. Three-month Treasury bills yielded 0.12% at the end of the year, and money-market rates remained near zero as the Fed kept the target federal funds rate at that level.
PortfolIo strategy
The objective of the portfolio is to match as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of a portfolio comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. In pursuit of this objective, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and uses sampling techniques to reduce transaction costs. When the portfolio’s weighting changes significantly from the target, the portfolio is rebalanced.
The portfolio relies on full replication to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index, although market shifts and portfolio cash flows may cause it to have slightly different weighting than the index. Full replication of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is not feasible, as the index includes roughly 8,000 securities. Therefore, the portfolio employs stratified sampling to track performance of the index. Stratified sampling requires the portfolio manager to select securities in each sector of the marketplace to represent those included in the index.
outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings will improve, in general. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends by mid-year. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011 as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at federal, state, and local levels may limit domestic economic growth. Finally, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
and Shareholders of Calvert VP Balanced Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Balanced Index Portfolio (formerly, the Summit Balanced Index Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Balanced Index as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP Balanced Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Balanced Index Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers through an independent pricing service. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Portfolio may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:

* | For further breakdown of Equity Securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets. |
** | Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the year, futures contracts were used for cash equitization.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company (“UNIFI”). The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .30% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $4,060 was payable at year end. In addition, $4,178 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .60%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,353 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $60 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $5 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. Government securities, were $5,154,735 and $5,728,929, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $1,792,414 and $1,674,368, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | 2009 |
Ordinary income | | $365,516 | $348,198 |
Total | | $365,516 | $348,198 |
As of December 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 2,872,041 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (936,482 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 1,935,559 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 88,524 | |
Undistributed long term capital gain | $ | 88,112 | |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 13,782,145 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales, real estate investment trusts, and Section 1256 contracts.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to asset-backed securities, exchange traded funds, and real estate investment trusts.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the
Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 and underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s plans with respect to the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were below the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio in an amount equal to its entire advisory fee. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s assets had not increased significantly over time. The Board took into account management’s plans with respect to the Portfolio and concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvi-sor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio returned a solid 19.61%. Its benchmark, the Nasdaq 100 Index (TR), returned 20.14% for the period. The portfolio’s relative underperformance was largely attributable to the fund’s fees and operating expenses.
Investment Climate
Equity markets performed well in 2010, although pockets of turbulence disrupted performance throughout the year. After a strong start, turmoil in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bailout for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about European financial market stability intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new highs for the year. In addition, economic growth appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.
Portfolio Strategy
As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index. The index includes 100 of the largest and most actively traded non-financial domestic and international companies. The average market capitalization of the companies in the Index is roughly $40 billion, which is significantly larger than the $20 billion average market capitalization of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. These companies delivered strong returns for the year, both in absolute terms and relative to the S&P 500 Index.
Over the full year, the top-performing sectors of the Nasdaq 100 Index, including dividend reinvestment, were Materials (up 40.5%), Utilities (up 33.0%), and Producer Durables (up 32.6%). The worst-performing sectors included Energy (down 3.9%), Consumer Staples (down 0.1%), and Healthcare (up 7.8%).

*Performance information is for the Portfolio only and does not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
At year-end, the Nasdaq 100 Index was most heavily invested in Information Technology (64.9%), Consumer Discretionary (15.7%), and Healthcare (12.7%) companies. The portfolio had the lowest exposure to companies in the Materials (0.4%) and Consumer Staples (1.2%) sectors.
The portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Nasdaq 100 Index. The portfolio fully replicates the Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the Index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the index. The Nasdaq 100 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in the index is not possible. Unlike the index, the portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2010, the portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.
Outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and in global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings generally will improve. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011 as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at the federal, state, and local levels, may limit domestic economic growth. Finally, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

General: The Calvert VP NASDAQ 100 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit NAS-DAQ-100 Index Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Portfolio may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:

*For further breakdown of Equity Securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.
**Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the year, futures contracts were used for cash equitization.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing
rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company (“UNIFI”). The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of
the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .35% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $17,955 was payable at year end. In addition, $8,291 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .65%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $5,130 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $72 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under terms of the agreement, $6 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $34,615,479 and $10,199,222, respectively.

Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Ordinary income | $ | 104,669 | $ | 18,834 |
Total | $ | 104,669 | $ | 18,834 |
As of December 31, 2010 the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 18,235,136 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (814,027 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 17,421,109 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 33,538 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 5,453,118 | ) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 42,510,168 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales and Section 1256 contracts.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to expired capital losses.
| | | |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | $ 2,617,490 | |
Paid-in capital | | (2,617,490 | ) |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | WEIGHTED | | | | MONTH OF |
| AVERAGE | AVERAGE | | | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
| DAILY | INTEREST | | | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
| BALANCE | RATE | | | BORROWED | BORROWED |
| $5,156 | 1.51% | | | $596,383 | September 2010 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 100% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745 or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affili-ates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by
the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a
breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the
Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its
investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio returned a solid 26.08% (Class I). Its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, returned 26.85% for the period. The portfolio’s relative underperformance was largely attributable to its operating expenses.
Investment clImate
Equity markets performed well in 2010, although pockets of turbulence disrupted performance throughout the year. After a strong start, turmoil in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bail-out for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about the stability European financial markets intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new highs for the year. In addition, economic growth appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.

*Performance information is for the Portfolio only and does not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
PortfolIo strategy
As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the Russell 2000 Index. The index includes approximately 2,000 small companies that have an average market capitalization of approximately $700 million. This is significantly smaller than the $20 billion average equity market capitalization of companies in the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index. The Russell 2000 Index delivered strong returns for the year,
| | % of Total |
Economic Sectors | | Investments |
| | |
Consumer Discretionary | | 13.7% |
Consumer Staples | | 2.9% |
Energy | | 6.2% |
Exchange Traded Funds | | 1.4% |
Financials | | 19.9% |
Government | | 1.4% |
Health Care | | 11.8% |
Industrials | | 15.3% |
Information Technology | | 18.1% |
Materials | | 5.5% |
Telecommunications Services | | 0.9% |
Utilities | | 2.9% |
Total | | 100% |
both in absolute terms and relative to the S&P 500 Index.
Over the full year, the top-performing sectors of the Russell 2000 Index, including dividend reinvestment, were Information Technology (up 37.4%), Materials (up 33.5%), and Energy (up 33.0%). The worst-performing sectors included Utilities (up 15.2%), Consumer Staples (up 17.8%), and Financials (up 20.7%).
At year-end, the Russell 2000 Index was most heavily invested in Financial (20.4%) and Information Technology (19.0%) companies. Other sectors of significant weight included Industrials (15.8%), Consumer Discretionary (13.4%), and Healthcare (12.5%). The portfolio had the lowest exposure to companies in the Telecommunication Services (1.0%) and Consumer Staples (2.9%) sectors.
The portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Russell 2000 Index. The portfolio fully replicates the Russell 2000 Index, which means that it holds all of the stocks in the index. Market fluctuation, cash flows, and corporate actions may cause the portfolio to hold a slightly different weighting than the index. The Russell 2000 Index is not a mutual fund and direct investment in it is not possible. Unlike the index, the portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2010, the portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to these expenses.
Outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and in global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings generally will improve. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011, as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at the federal, state, and local levels, may limit domestic economic growth. Finally, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio (formerly, the Summit Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class I and Class F shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Portfolio may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, securities valued at $17 or 0.0% of net assets were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:

* Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.
** | For further breakdown of Equity Securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets. |
*** | Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the instrument. |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, but only when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instru-
ments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the year, futures contracts were used for cash equitization.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company (“UNIFI”). The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .35% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $37,041 was payable at year end. In addition, $10,985 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense caps are .70% and .91% for Class I and Class F, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $10,583 was payable at year end.
Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Distribution plans, adopted by Class F shares, allow the Portfolio to pay the distributor for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .20% annually of average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,005 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $205 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $18 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $61,795,355 and $37,619,426, respectively.

EXPIRATION DATE | | | |
31-Dec-16 | ($1,082,498) | | |
31-Dec-17 | (1,375,857) | | |
The Portfolio’s use of net capital loss carryforwards may be limited under certain tax provisions.
Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Ordinary income | $ | 590,299 | $ | 339,624 |
Long term capital gain | | — | | 720,946 |
Total | $ | 590,299 | $ | 1,060,570 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 25,511,026 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (11,397,013 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 14,114,013 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 187,259 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 2,458,355 | ) |
|
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 110,650,435 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales, real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, undistributed capital gains and Section 1256 contracts.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to real estate investment trusts.

Undistributed net investment income | ($ | 115,290 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 114,749 | |
Paid-in Capital | | 541 | |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loan outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:
| | WEIGHTED | | MONTH OF |
| AVERAGE | AVERAGE | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
| DAILY | INTEREST | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
| BALANCE | RATE | BORROWED | BORROWED |
| $17,451 | 1.52% | $1,541,425 | June 2010 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
NOTE F — REORGANIZATION
On December 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provided for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Variable Series, Inc., Ameritas Small Company Equity Portfolio (“Small Company Equity”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Variable Products, Inc., Russell 2000 Index Portfolio (“Russell 2000 Index”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Small Company Equity. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 16, 2010 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2010.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
MERGED PORTFOLIO | SHARES | ACQUIRING PORTFOLIO | SHARES | | VALUE |
Small Company Equity | 645,127 | Russell 2000 Index | 198,367 | $ | 11,427,947 |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Russell 2000 Index were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Small Company Equity were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Russell 2000 Index’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:
| | | | UNREALIZED | | | |
| | NET | | APPRECIATION | ACQUIRING | | NET |
MERGED PORTFOLIO | | ASSETS | | (DEPRECIATION) | PORTFOLIO | | ASSETS |
Small Company Equity | $ | 11,427,947 | $ | 2,350,797 | Russell 2000 Index | $ | 76,346,665 |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, Russell 2000 Index’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been as follows:
| | | |
Net investment income | $ | 713,408 | (a) |
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments | $ | 24,594,209 | (b) |
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations | $ | 25,307,617 | |
Because Russell 2000 Index and Small Company Equity sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Small Company Equity that have been included in Russell 2000 Index’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2010.
(a) | $729,564, as reported, plus ($16,156) from Small Company Equity pre-merger. |
(b) | $23,156,500, as reported, plus $1,437,709 from Small Company Equity pre-merger. |
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 100% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned percentage as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the
fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the five-year period ended June 30, 2010 and underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors. Conclusions The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by World Asset Management, Inc., Subadvisor
Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio returned 6.71% (Class I) during 2010. Its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE Index) returned 8.21% for the same period. The fund’s underperformance was largely attributable to fund expenses and the partial withholding of dividends by local tax authorities.
As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to replicate the holdings and match the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index. In pursuit of this objective, the fund employs a passive management approach and uses sampling techniques to reduce transaction costs. In addition, cash flows into the fund were invested promptly to minimize their impact on total return.
The MSCI EAFE Index held shares in 21 countries at the end of 2010. Almost one-half of the Index was invested in Japan and the United Kingdom. These countries accounted for 22.1% and 21.3% of the benchmark’s holdings, respectively. Given that it had both the heaviest weight in the index and one of the strongest performances, Japan made the greatest contribution to the benchmark’s performance over the full year. Sweden, Denmark, and Hong Kong also were the top-performers, as each posted an annual return in excess of 20%. Greece and Spain were among the worst-performing countries in the index. They were down 44.9% and down 21.95%, respectively.
At the end of 2010, the MSCI EAFE Index had the greatest exposure to companies in the Financial sector, which comprised 23.8% of the index. It also had significant exposure to the Industrials and Materials sectors, which accounted for 12.7% and 11.5% of the index’s holdings, respectively.

*Performance information is for the Portfolio only and does not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
During 2010, the portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Index. Since the EAFE Index is not an actual mutual fund, it is not possible to invest directly in it. Unlike the index, the portfolio incurs operating expenses. Net Asset Value (NAV) rounding also may have contributed to the difference between the fund’s return during the year and the return of the EAFE Index. NAV rounding occurs because mutual fund prices
are carried out only to two decimal places. In addition, the portfolio’s performance was affected by dividend withholding in some countries. In some instances, a substantial portion of the dividends owed to investors may be withheld by a country’s tax collecting entity. Sometimes the withheld amounts can be recovered, though often they cannot be.Please remember that there are special risks of foreign investment inherent with an investment in this portfolio, such as currency fluctuation, and that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (formerly, the Summit EAFE International Index Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit EAFE International Index Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class I and Class F shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, securities valued at $0 or 0.0% of net assets were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |
Investments in Securities | | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | | Total |
Equity securities* | $ | 186,931,274 | — | — | $ | 186,931,274 |
Exchange traded funds | | 571,178 | — | — | | 571,178 |
TOTALS | $ | 187,502,452 | — | — | $ | 187,502,452 |
*For further breakdown of Equity Securities by country, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the reporting period.
At December 31, 2010, a significant transfer out of Level 2 and into Level 1 occurred. At December 31, 2009, certain securities trading outside the U.S. whose value was adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading were not adjusted at December 31, 2010 as price movements did not exceed specified parameters.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly-owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .56% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $88,897 was payable at year end. In addition, $49,999 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .95% and 1.15% for Class I and Class F, respectively. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $15,875 was payable at year end.
Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Portfolio. Distribution plans, adopted by Class F shares, allow the Portfolio to pay the distributor for expenses and services associated with the distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .20% annually of the average daily net assets of Class F. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,194 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $198 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $18 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $178,547,574 and $103,402,358, respectively.
CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
EXPIRATION DATE | | | |
31-Dec-15 | | ($186,055) | |
31-Dec-16 | | (15,302,273) | |
31-Dec-17 | | (15,978) | |
The Fund’s use of net capital loss carryforwards may be limited under certain tax provisions.
Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | 2010 | 2009 |
Distributions paid from: | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $2,179,306 | $1,625,611 |
Total | | $2,179,306 | $1,625,611 |
As of December 31, 2010 the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 20,499,777 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (9,913,233 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 10,586,544 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 888,549 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 15,504,306 | ) |
|
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 176,915,908 | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These book-tax differences are due to wash sales and passive foreign investment companies.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforwards, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies.
| | | |
Undistributed net investment income | ($ | 17,740 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 17,740 | |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loan outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | WEIGHTED | | | | MONTH OF |
| AVERAGE | AVERAGE | | | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
| DAILY | INTEREST | | | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
| BALANCE | RATE | | | BORROWED | BORROWED |
| $58,528 | 1.52% | | | $3,411,084 | May 2010 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
On December 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provides for the transfer of all the assets of the Calvert Variable Series, Inc., Calvert Social International Equity Portfolio (“International Equity”) for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert Variable Products, Inc., EAFE International Index Portfolio (“EAFE”) and the assumption of the liabilities of International Equity. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 16, 2010 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2010.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:
MERGED PORTFOLIO | SHARES | ACQUIRING PORTFOLIO | SHARES | | VALUE |
International Equity | 1,006,852 | EAFE | 157,015 | | $10,969,047 |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by EAFE were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from International Equity were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of EAFE’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:
MERGED PORTFOLIO | | NET ASSETS | | UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) | | ACQUIRING PORTFOLIO | | NET ASSETS | |
|
|
International Equity | | $10,969,047 | | ($16,862) | | EAFE | | $86,948,835 | |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, EAFE’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been as follows:
| | | |
Net investment income | $ | 2,589,152 | (a) |
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments | $ | 15,480,042 | (b) |
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations | $ | 18,069,194 | |
Because EAFE and International Equity sold and redeemed shares throughout the year, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of International Equity that have been included in EAFE’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2010.
(a) | $2,566,722 as reported, plus $22,430 from International Equity pre-merger. |
(b) | $15,617,852 as reported, plus ($137,810) from International Equity pre-merger. |
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
The Portfolio designates $1.56 per share as income derived from foreign sources and $0.11 per share as foreign taxes paid for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010 and below the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three and five year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Portfolio’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was above the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Subadvisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor pays the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and the subadvisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Advisor, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor was not a material factor in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the subadvisory fee included breakpoints that would reduce the subadvisory fee on assets above certain specified asset levels.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action was being taken with respect to the performance of the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP BARCLAYS CAPITAL AGGREGATE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio returned 6.37%. Its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, returned 6.54% for the same period. The portfolio’s underperformance was largely attributable to the fund’s operating expenses and its reliance on stratified sampling.
Investment clImate
Fixed-income markets performed well during 2010, with a little help from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed purchased Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities early in the year in an effort to drive down intermediate interest rates. Shortly after the Fed’s first quantitative easing program was completed, speculation began about a second round of easing (QE2). In the fall, QE2 was announced. Initially, the Fed’s objective of reducing interest rates was accomplished, as rates on bonds in the two- to 10-year maturity range declined by 50 to 70 basis points.1 That changed in early December, when markets were surprised by a sizable round of fiscal stimulus. This monetary and fiscal support quickly created expectations for improved economic growth and a larger federal deficit (financed by Treasury debt) in 2011. In response, bond yields surged during the fourth quarter. Most major sectors of the bond market, including Treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds, posted losses for the quarter.2

Over the full year, all major taxable bond market sectors posted positive returns, as yields finished mostly lower. The yield on 10-year Treasuries, for example, fell by 55 basis points. Three-month Treasury Bills yielded 0.12% at the end of the year, and money-market rates remained near zero as the Fed kept the target federal funds rate at that level.

PortfolIo strategy
As an index fund, the portfolio employs a passive management approach and seeks, as closely as possible, to match the performance of the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. Full replication of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is not feasible, as the Index includes roughly 8,000 securities. Therefore, the portfolio employs stratified sampling to track the performance of the Index. Stratified sampling requires the portfolio manager to select securities in each sector of the market that closely match the characteristics of the Index, including sector allocation, duration, quality, and others. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest-rate movements.
During 2010, the portfolio continued to meet its investment objective of closely tracking the total return of the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. The index is not a mutual fund and direct investment is not possible. Unlike the index, the portfolio incurs operating expenses. During 2010, the portfolio’s slight underperformance was largely attributable to operating expenses, as well as a reliance on stratified sampling.
OUTLOOK
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the United States and in global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings generally will improve. This scenario would be supportive for credit spreads in 2011. However, if the economy strengthens, interest rates may increase modestly as the Federal Reserve ends its second round of quantitative easing and withdraws liquidity from the marketplace. Rising interest rates are not favorable for bond investors. In this environment, lower-quality, higher-yielding bonds may outperform, continuing the trend that began in 2009.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Barclays Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (or the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers through an independent pricing service. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:

TOTAL | $ | 1,004,625 | $ | 107,508,512 | — | $ | 108,513,137 |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (“the Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .30% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $27,678 was payable at year end. In addition, $13,156 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .60%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $9,226 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $75 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $7 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. Government and short-term securities, were $62,245,089 and $13,282,893, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $86,962,180 and $59,493,674, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Ordinary income | $ | 2,395,314 | $ | 1,758,972 |
Long-term capital gain | | 139,155 | | 142,302 |
Total | $ | 2,534,469 | $ | 1,901,274 |
As of December 31, 2010 the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 1,941,515 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (765,383 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 1,176,132 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 836,739 | |
Undistributed long term capital gain | $ | 98,612 | |
|
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 107,337,005 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforwards, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to asset-backed securities.
| | | |
Undistributed net investment income | $ | 182,373 | |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | (182,373 | ) |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745 or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fis-cal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to
the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed above the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 and below the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio outperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 and underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s tracking error and performance versus its benchmark index. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s overall performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee was above the median of its peer universe and that total expenses were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio and the relatively small range in total expense ratios among the funds in the Portfolio’s peer universe. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies
of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and
resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the overall performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
Performance
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio returned 6.33%. Its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) Index, returned 6.31% for the period. The portfolio slightly outperformed the index because the portfolio includes corporate fixed income securities which outperformed TIPS during the period.
Investment clImate
Fixed-income markets performed well during 2010, with a little help from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed purchased Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities early in the year in an effort to drive down intermediate interest rates. Shortly after the Fed’s first quantitative easing program was completed, speculation began about a second round of easing (QE2). In the fall, QE2 was announced. Initially, the Fed’s objective of reducing interest rates was accomplished, as rates on bonds in the two- to 10-year maturity range declined by 50 to 70 basis points.1 That changed in early December, when markets were surprised by a sizable round of fiscal stimulus. This monetary and fiscal support quickly created expectations for improved economic growth and a larger federal deficit (financed by Treasury debt) in 2011. In response, bond yields surged during the fourth quarter.

Americans experienced disinflation, a slowdown in the rate of inflation, in 2010, largely due to economic weakness and excess capacity resulting from the recession. The inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers, was 1.5% during 2010, which was lower than the 2.7% rate recorded in 2009. The core inflation rate fell to 0.8% in 2010 from 1.8% in 2009.2

The difference between the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond and the yield on a 10-year TIPS ended the year at 2.28% in 2010. At the end of 2009, the yield difference was 2.41%. The narrowing of this spread implies that investors’ expectations for future inflation decreased slightly during 2010.
PortfolIo strategy
The portfolio primarily invests in TIPS and floating-rate securities. In addition, the portfolio included a smaller amount of fixed-rate corporate and agency bonds. Throughout 2010, the portfolio maintained an intermediate duration similar to that of the Barclays Capital TIPS index. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the change in price relative to interest rate movement. TIPS are intended to protect against changing inflation expectations, while we expect the floating-rate securities to provide greater income during times of inflation. The portfolio may also selectively invest in fixed-rate securities that have the potential to increase portfolio returns in stable markets.
outlook
The performance of inflation-protected securities depends heavily on the expected rate of future inflation. Currently, the inflation picture appears benign. A combination of factors including a slack labor market, low capacity utilization, a sluggish housing market, and lack of pricing power for most America corporations produced disinflation during 2010. However, central bankers in both the United States and Europe continue to monetize their debt by increasing the money supply, which weakens currencies and drives commodity—energy, agriculture, metals, materials, and natural resources—prices higher. As these forces work through the economy, inflationary pressures may increase. In addition, if economic growth accelerates around the world, investors’ concerns about inflation rising over the intermediate- to longer-term may increase and affect the performance of inflation-protected securities.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
and Shareholders of Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio (formerly, the Summit Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers through an independent pricing service. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | |
| | | valuatIon InPuts | | |
Investments In securItIes | level 1 | | level 2 | level 3 | | total |
U.S. government obligations | — | $ | 15,633,762 | — | $ | 15,633,762 |
Corporate debt obligations | — | | 13,726,060 | — | | 13,726,060 |
TOTAL | — | $ | 29,359,822 | — | $ | 29,359,822 |
Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Portfolio could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities: The Portfolio invests in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation. Interest is accrued based on the adjusted principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to inflation principal income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Portfolio’s distributions.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities is accrued as earned. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly-owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .50% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $12,431 was payable at year end. In addition, $7,112 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .75%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $2,486 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $60 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $5 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term and U.S. Government securities, were $15,229,621 and $18,759,207, respectively. U.S. Government security purchases and sales were $15,975,859 and $19,734,772, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
Distributions paid from: | | | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 772,255 | $ | 124,551 |
Long term capital gain | | 175,050 | | — |
Total | $ | 947,305 | $ | 124,551 |
As of December 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 964,209 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (82,494 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 881,715 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 261,510 | |
Undistributed long term capital gain | $ | 175,047 | |
|
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 28,478,107 | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales.
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loan outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:
| | WEIGHTED | | | | MONTH OF |
| AVERAGE | AVERAGE | | | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
| DAILY | INTEREST | | | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
| BALANCE | RATE | | | BORROWED | BORROWED |
| $33,585 | 1.52% | | | $1,025,863 | July 2010 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE F — OTHER
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Also, capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates $175,050 of the long term capital gain distributions paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned amount as capital gain dividend in accordance with Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affili-ates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s ef-
fectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the performance of the Portfolio was at the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010 and below the median of its peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the differences in the investment strategies used by the funds in the Portfolio’s peer group that also affect relative performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer group. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

Calvert VP lifestyle moderate Portfolio
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Lifestyle ETF Moderate Portfolio returned 12.46%. Its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, returned 15.06% for the same period. The portfolio, which invests approximately 60% of its assets in stocks and 40% in bonds, underperformed during the year because the benchmark does not include bonds. When the portfolio’s performance is compared to a composite index comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, it outperformed. The composite index returned 11.65% for the period.
Proposed Merger
The Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. have approved Calvert’s recommendation to solicit a shareholder vote for the merger of Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio into Ibbotson Balanced ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio. Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio will be asked to vote on the merger and must approve it before any change may take place. Proxy materials, including the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and a further explanation of the proposed changes, will be sent to shareholders.
Investment Climate
Equity markets performed well in 2010, although pockets of turbulence disrupted performance throughout the year. After a strong start, turmoil in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bail-out for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about European financial market stability intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy,

and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new highs for the year. In addition, economic growth appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.
Fixed income markets performed well during 2010, with a little help from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed purchased Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities early in the year in an effort to drive down intermediate interest rates. Shortly after the Fed’s first quantitative easing program was completed, speculation began about a second round of easing which began in the fall. Initially, the Fed’s objective of reducing interest rates was accomplished, as rates on bonds in the two- to 10-year maturity range declined by 50 to 70 basis points.1 That changed in early December, when markets were surprised by a sizable round of fiscal stimulus. This monetary and fiscal support quickly created expectations for improved economic growth and a larger federal deficit (financed by Treasury debt) in 2011. In response, bond yields surged during the fourth quarter. Most major sectors of the bond market, including Treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds, posted losses for the quarter.2 Over the full year, all major taxable bond market sectors posted positive returns, as yields finished mostly lower. The yield on 10-year Treasuries, for example, fell by 55 basis points. Three-month Treasury Bills yielded 0.12% at the end of the year,
and money-market rates remained near zero as the Fed kept the target federal funds rate at that level.
PortfolIo strategy
As a “fund of funds,” the portfolio holds exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in specific asset classes, including domestic and international stocks, investment-grade bonds and, to a lesser extent, high-yield bonds. The portfolio’s managers review holdings continuously and make changes as necessary.
During 2010, the portfolio’s exposure to equities increased after the first quarter. Over the full year, it held more than the target 60% in equities, on average. The portfolio’s small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging market ETFs made positive contributions to relative performance during the year. The portfolio also held large-cap international ETFs, which detracted from relative performance. The portfolio’s corporate and high-yield bond ETFs also made attractive performance contributions over the full year.
The portfolio entered 2011 with an overweight position in equity and high-yield fixed income ETFs relative to the composite index.
outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings will improve, in general. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends by mid-year. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011, as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at federal, state, and local levels, may limit domestic economic growth. Also, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests are not included in the annualized expense ratios.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
and Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio (formerly, the Summit Lifestyle ETF Market Strategy Target Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Lifestyle ETF Market Strategy Target Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in various exchange traded funds (the “Underlying Funds”), representing different market exposure.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | |
| | | valuatIon InPuts | | |
Investments In securItIes | | level 1 | level 2 | level 3 | | total |
Exchange Traded Funds | $ | 22,392,561 | — | — | $ | 22,392,561 |
TOTAL | $ | 22,392,561 | — | — | $ | 22,392,561 |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .55% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $10,576 was payable at year end. In addition, $4,125 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .75%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $1,923 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $60 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $5 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $9,230,449 and $11,992,513, respectively.

|
exPIratIon date | | | |

31-Dec-17 | | (1,480,970 | ) |
Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Ordinary income | $ | 287,650 | $ | 323,160 |
Total | $ | 287,650 | $ | 323,160 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 1,919,779 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (8,875 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 1,910,904 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 221,004 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 1,754,253 | ) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 20,481,657 | |
The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales and exchange traded funds.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to exchange traded funds.
| | | |
Undistributed net investment income | ($ | 2,043 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 2,043 | |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:
| | WEIGHTED | | | MONTH OF | |
| AVERAGE | AVERAGE | | | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
| DAILY | INTEREST | | | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
| BALANCE | RATE | | | BORROWED | BORROWED |
| $3,284 | 1.57% | | | $557,719 | May 2010 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
NOTE F — OTHER
On December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to reorganize the Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio into the Ibbotson Balanced ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio. Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio will be asked to vote on the reorganization and must approve it before any change may take place.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 49.6% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned percentage as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and its plans with respect to the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was above the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profit-ability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio returned 10.59%. Its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, returned 6.54% for the same period. The portfolio, which invests approximately 40% of its assets in stocks and 60% in bonds, outperformed during the year because the benchmark does not include stocks. When the portfolio’s performance is compared to a composite index comprised of 40% Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index and 60% Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, it still outperformed. The composite index returned 9.95% for the period.
Proposed merger
The Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. have approved Calvert’s recommendation to solicit a shareholder vote for the merger of Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio into Ibbotson Income and Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio. Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio will be asked to vote on the merger and must approve it before any change may take place. Proxy materials, including the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and a further explanation of the proposed changes, will be sent to shareholders.

in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bail-out for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about European financial market stability intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new highs for the year. In addition, economic growth appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.
Fixed-income markets performed well during 2010, with a little help from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed purchased Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities early in the year in an effort to drive down intermediate interest rates. Shortly after the Fed’s first quantitative easing program was completed, speculation began about a second round of easing which began in the fall. Initially, the Fed’s objective of reducing interest rates was accomplished, as rates on bonds in the two- to 10-year maturity range declined by 50 to 70 basis points.1 That changed in early December, when markets were surprised by a sizable round of fiscal stimulus. This monetary and fiscal support quickly created expectations for improved economic growth and a larger federal deficit (financed by Treasury debt) in 2011. In response, bond yields surged during the fourth quarter. Most major sectors of the bond market, including Treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds, posted losses for the quarter.2
Over the full year, all major taxable bond market sectors posted positive returns as yields finished mostly lower. The yield on 10-year Treasuries, for example, fell by 55 basis points. Three-month Treasury Bills yielded 0.12% at the end of the year, and money-market rates remained near zero as the Fed kept the target federal funds rate at that level.
PortfolIo strategy
As a “fund of funds,” the portfolio holds exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in specific asset classes, including domestic and international stocks, investment-grade bonds and, to a lesser extent, high-yield bonds. The portfolio’s managers review holdings continuously and make changes as necessary.
During 2010, the portfolio’s exposure to equities increased after the first quarter. Over the full year, it held more than the target 40% in equities, on average. The portfolio’s small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging-market ETFs made positive contributions to relative performance during the year. The portfolio also held large-cap international ETFs, which detracted from performance. The portfolio’s corporate and high-yield bond ETFs also made attractive performance contributions over the full year.
The portfolio entered 2011 holding more than 40% in equities. In addition, it emphasized lower-rated, higher yielding bonds more heavily than the composite index.
outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings will improve, in general. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends by mid-year. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011, as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at federal, state, and local levels, may limit domestic economic growth. Also, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
and Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio (formerly, the Summit Lifestyle ETF Market Strategy Conservative Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Lifestyle ETF Market Strategy Conservative Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffili-ated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in various exchange traded funds (the “Underlying Funds”), representing different market exposure.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | |
| | valuation Inputs |
Investments In securItIes | | level 1 | level 2 | level 3 | | total |
Exchange traded funds | $ | 8,508,366 | — | — | $ | 8,508,366 |
TOTAL | $ | 8,508,366 | — | — | $ | 8,508,366 |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (“the Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.55% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $4,044 was payable at year end. In addition, $2,802 was payable for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is 0.75%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $735 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $60 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $5 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $4,311,540 and $4,641,161, respectively.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
Distributions paid from: | | | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 107,682 | $ | 102,530 |
Total | $ | 107,682 | $ | 102,530 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 602,613 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (4,877 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 597,736 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 108,039 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | $ | 80,306 | |
|
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 7,910,630 | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales and exchange traded funds.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforwards, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to exchange traded funds and excise taxes.
| | | |
Undistributed net investment income | ($ | 785 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 1,316 | |
Paid-in capital | | (531 | ) |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows.
| | WEIGHTED | | | | MONTH OF |
| AVERAGE | AVERAGE | | | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
| DAILY | INTEREST | | | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
| BALANCE | RATE | | | BORROWED | BORROWED |
| $2,122 | 1.50% | | | $387,239 | Aug 2010 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
NOTE F — OTHER
On December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to reorganize the Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio into the Ibbotson Income and Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio. Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio will be asked to vote on the reorganization and must approve it before any change may take place.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Also, capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 28.4% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned percentage as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745 or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fis-cal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and its plans with respect to the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was at the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were below the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also noted that the Advisor was reimbursing expenses of the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s peer universe. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and
whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the
Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined
that the subad-visory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is
qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Lifestyle ETF Aggressive Portfolio returned 14.62%. Its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, returned 15.06% for the same period. The portfolio, which invests approximately 80% of its assets in stocks and 20% in bonds, underperformed during the year because the benchmark does not include bonds. When the portfolio’s performance is compared to a composite index comprised of 80% S&P 500 Index and 20% Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, it outperformed. The composite index returned 13.36% for the period.
Proposed Merger
The Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. have approved Calvert’s recommendation to solicit a shareholder vote for the merger of Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio into Ibbotson Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio. Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio will be asked to vote on the merger and must approve it before any change may take place. Proxy materials, including the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and a further explanation of the proposed changes, will be sent to shareholders.
Investment Climate
Equity markets performed well in 2010, although pockets of turbulence disrupted performance throughout the year. After a strong start, turmoil in the Greek bond market caused global equity markets to falter. They rebounded quickly once European Union governments and the European Central Bank announced a bail-out for Greece and debt-purchase programs designed to support peripheral euro-zone countries. During late spring and throughout the summer months, equity markets in the United States languished as domestic economic activity slowed. Investors’ concerns about European financial market stability intensified as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain showed signs of weakness. By fall, the Federal Reserve announced its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which helped propel equity markets to new

highs for the year. In addition, economic growth appears to have accelerated during the second half of 2010, fueling the markets’ rise.
Fixed-income markets performed well during 2010, with a little help from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed purchased Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities early in the year in an effort to drive down intermediate interest rates. Shortly after the Fed’s first quantitative easing program was completed, speculation began about a second round of easing which began in the fall. Initially, the Fed’s objective of reducing interest rates was accomplished, as rates on bonds in the two- to 10-year maturity range declined by 50 to 70 basis points.1
That changed in early December, when markets were surprised by a sizable round of fiscal stimulus. This monetary and fiscal support quickly created expectations for improved economic growth and a larger federal deficit (financed by Treasury debt) in 2011. In response, bond yields surged during the fourth quarter. Most major sectors of the bond market, including Treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds, posted losses for the quarter.2
Over the full year, all major taxable bond market sectors posted positive returns, as yields finished mostly lower. The yield on 10-year Treasuries, for example, fell by 55 basis points. Three-month Treasury Bills yielded 0.12% at the end of the year, and money-market rates remained near zero as the Fed kept the target federal funds rate at that level.

PortfolIo strategy
As a “fund of funds,” the portfolio holds exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in specific asset classes, including domestic and international stocks, investment-grade bonds and, to a lesser extent, high-yield bonds. The portfolio’s managers review holdings continuously and make changes as necessary.
During 2010, the portfolio’s exposure to equities increased after the first quarter. Over the full year, it held more than the target 80% in equities, on average. The portfolio’s small-cap, mid-cap and emerging market ETFs made positive contributions to relative performance during the year. The portfolio also held large-cap international ETFs, which detracted from relative performance. The portfolio’s corporate and high-yield bond ETFs also made attractive performance contributions over the full year.
The portfolio entered 2011 holding overweight positions in equity and higher-yield bond ETFs relative to the composite index.
outlook
During 2011, we expect to see increased growth in the U.S. and global economies. We also anticipate that corporate earnings will improve, in general. Interest rates may increase modestly as the economy strengthens and the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing ends by mid-year. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will likely increase during 2011, as an improved economic outlook, significant cash on corporate balance sheets, low interest rates, and relatively attractive valuation multiples combine to create an attractive environment for M&A activity. Riskier assets, including equities and lower-rated bonds, may outperform in this environment, continuing the trend that began in 2009.
The equity market will face challenges during the year. Weakness in Europe is likely to persist into 2011, which may negatively affect companies that depend on European markets. Chronically high unemployment in the United States, as well as growing budget deficits at federal, state, and local levels, may limit domestic economic growth. Also, the possibility of rising interest rates may negatively affect price-to-earnings multiples in the equity markets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
and Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio (formerly, the Summit Lifestyle ETF Market Strategy Aggressive Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: The Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Lifestyle ETF Market Strategy Aggressive Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in various exchange traded funds (the “Underlying Funds”), representing different market exposure.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | |
| | | valuation Inputs | | |
Investments In securItIes | | level 1 | level 2 | level 3 | | total |
Exchange Traded Funds | $ | 9,893,445 | — | — | $ | 9,893,445 |
TOTAL | $ | 9,893,445 | — | — | $ | 9,893,445 |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE B — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (“the Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .55% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $4,607 was payable at year end. In addition, $2,693 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .75%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services for the Portfolio. For its services, CASC receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement $838 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $60 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $5 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
NOTE C — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $3,873,906 and $5,534,615, respectively.
CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS | | | |
|
exPIratIon date | | | |
31-Dec-17 | ($ | 1,174 | ) |
Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
Distributions paid from: | | | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 77,122 | $ | 87,313 |
Total | $ | 77,122 | $ | 87,313 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 1,225,373 | |
Unrealized (depreciation) | | (1,669 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | 1,223,704 | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 73,712 | |
Capital loss carryforward | ($ | 1,174 | ) |
|
Federal income tax cost of investments | $ | 8,669,741 | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales and exchange traded funds.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have no impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to exchange traded funds and excise taxes.
| | | |
Undistributed net investment income | ($ | 8 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | 294 | |
Paid-in capital | | (286 | ) |
NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no loan outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, borrowing information by the Portfolio under the Agreement was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | WEIGHTED | | | | MONTH OF |
| AVERAGE | AVERAGE | | | MAXIMUM | MAXIMUM |
| DAILY | INTEREST | | | AMOUNT | AMOUNT |
| BALANCE | RATE | | | BORROWED | BORROWED |
| $10,824 | 1.53% | | | $624,072 | October 2010 |
NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
NOTE F — OTHER
On December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to reorganize the Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio into the Ibbotson Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio. Shareholders of Calvert VP Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio will be asked to vote on the reorganization and must approve it before any change may take place.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 83.1% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned percentage as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.
PROXY VOTING
The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745 or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling the Fund or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fis-cal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and its plans with respect to the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Portfolio’s performance.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was below the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were above the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also noted that the Advisor was reimbursing expenses of the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s peer universe. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
CONCLUSIONS
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Portfolio; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by
the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

calvert vp Natural resources Portfolio
Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.
Managed by Summit Investment Advisors, Inc., Subadvisor
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio returned 17.22%. Its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, returned 15.06% for the period. The portfolio’s concentrated holdings in the commodity and natural resource sectors of the market were the reasons for its outperformance. The S&P 500 Index has a more diversified allocation of holdings across industry sectors.
Investment Climate
Positive investor sentiment and an improved economic environment—both domestically and overseas—provided a solid backdrop for commodity and natural resource prices in 2010. With the exception of natural gas prices, which declined by 35%, virtually all commodity prices rose substantially during the year. The price of gold increased more than 30%, reaching about $1,400 per ounce. Copper prices increased more than 40%. Prices for industrial materials rose significantly, fueled by demand from China and other emerging countries. Also, prices for cotton, corn, wheat, and other agricultural commodities increased significantly. In addition, a weakening U.S. dollar provided price support for commodities denominated in U.S. dollars, such as crude oil.
Portfolio Strategy
As a “fund of funds,” the portfolio invests in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and notes (ETNs) that track diverse commodity, natural resource, raw materials, and utility indices. The portfolio is constructed to maintain broad exposures to a wide variety of commodities and natural resources. During 2010, the portfolio’s holdings remained fairly stable. The only changes were a slight reduction in its exposure to the energy sector, and corresponding increases in its exposure to forestry, grains, water, and utilities. The portfolio’s largest holdings were in the energy (32%) and materials (28%) sectors. It also had exposure to metals (9%), grains (8%), forest products (7%), and other sectors including water, utilities, and real estate.

*Performance information is for the Portfolio only and does not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Outlook
Commodity and natural resource prices are poised to perform well in 2011, assuming that global expansion continues. Currently, fiscal and monetary policy in both the U.S. and Europe is supportive of pricing. A weak U.S. dollar would further the case for higher commodity and natural resource prices in 2011. Regardless, we will carefully monitor the pace of economic growth in 2011. The U.S. economy is still fragile and growth in Europe is far from assured. If economic growth slows globally, commodity and natural resource prices could suffer.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 7/1/10 | 12/31/10 | 7/1/10 - 12/31/10 |
| | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,322.80 | $4.39 |
| | | |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,021.42 | $3.82 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of .75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests are not included in the annualized expense ratios.

Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors of Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio (formerly, the Summit Natural Resources Portfolio) (the Portfolio), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights of the Portfolio for the periods presented through December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A –- Significant Accounting Policies
General: Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), formerly known as Summit Natural Resources Portfolio, a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), formerly known as Summit Mutual Funds, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of thirteen separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes (the “Underlying Funds”) representing different natural resources exposures.
Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. At December 31, 2010, no securities were fair valued under the direction of the Board of Directors.
The Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the year. For additional information on the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2010:
| Valuation Inputs |
Investments in Securities | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
Exchange traded funds & notes | $41,934,864 | — | — | $41,934,864 |
TOTAL | $41,934,864 | — | — | $41,934,864 |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulation.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolio’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measures. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
Note B — Related Party Transactions
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. (“Calvert”), which is indirectly wholly-owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .55%, of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $19,208 was payable at year end. In addition, $3,797 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during December 2010.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual portfolio operating expenses through April 30, 2011. The contractual expense cap is .75%. For the purpose of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent any expense credits are earned, the Advisor’s obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.
Calvert Administrative Services Company (“CASC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $3,492 was payable at year end.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. (“CSSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $76 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, $7 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended plus an annual fee of $30,000 ($20,000 prior to April 1, 2010). Committee chairs receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Director’s fees are allocated to each of the portfolios served.
Note C — Investment Activity
During the year, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities were $25,708,728 and $8,107,968, respectively.
Capital Loss Carryforwards
Expiration Date | |
31-Dec-16 | ($1,088,390) |
Capital losses may be used to offset future taxable capital gains until expiration. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Losses incurred during those future years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may more likely expire unused. Also, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows:
| 2010 | 2009 |
Distributions paid from: | | |
Ordinary income | $125,966 | $41,810 |
Total | $125,966 | $41,810 |
As of December 31, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) and the federal tax cost were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $5,064,840 |
Unrealized (depreciation) | — |
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $5,064,840 |
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | $141,857 |
Capital loss carryforward | ($1,088,390) |
Federal income tax cost of investments | $36,870,024 |
The differences between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to temporary book-tax differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are due to wash sales and partnerships.
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Portfolio’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforwards, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. These reclassifications are due to permanent book-tax differences and have not impact on net assets. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications for the Portfolio are due to partnerships.
Undistributed net investment income | ($12,181) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 16,018 |
Paid-in capital | (3,837) |
Note D — Line of Credit
A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate, (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .125% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note E — Subsequent Events
In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2010, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.
Notice to Shareholders (Unaudited)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, we are advising you that the Portfolio designates 65.5% of the ordinary dividends paid during the year or the maximum amount allowable but not less than the aforementioned percentage as eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in accordance with Section 854 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Explanation of Financial Tables
Schedule of Investments
The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.
Statement of Assets and Liabilities
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.
Statement of Net Assets
The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
Statement of Operations
The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.
Statement of Changes in Net Assets
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.
The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.
Financial Highlights
The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
Basis for Board’s Approval of Investment Advisory ContractS
At a meeting held on December 9, 2010, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Portfolio and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Portfolio.
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Portfolio, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Portfolio’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.
The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Group of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Portfolio’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’s current level of staffing and overall resources. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In considering the Portfolio’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Portfolio’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Portfolio performed below the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010 and above the median of its peer universe for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010. The data also indicated that the Portfolio underperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2010 and outperformed its Lipper index for the three-year period ended June 30, 2010. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the limitations on the passive and active benchmarks against which the Portfolio’s performance was measured. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Portfolio’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer universe. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Portfolio’s advisory fee (after taking into account expense reimbursements) was above the median of its peer universe and that total expenses (net of expense reimbursements) were below the median of its peer universe. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Portfolio’s peer universe. In addition, the Board took into account the fees the Advisor charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the current size of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the other factors considered.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Group of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Portfolio in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Portfolio and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. In addition, the Board took into account that affiliates of the Advisor may benefit from certain indirect tax benefits relating to dividend received deductions and foreign tax credits. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Portfolio. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.
The Board considered the effect of the Portfolio’s current size and potential growth on its performance and fees. Although the Portfolio’s advisory fee did not have breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels, the Board noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also noted that given the Portfolio’s current level of assets, the Portfolio would be unlikely to recognize economies of scale by implementing a breakpoint in the advisory fee at this time.
In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.
The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Portfolio’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Portfolio’s performance during the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the Portfolio’s peer universe and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Portfolio’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the Advisor and Subadvisor were affiliated and the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the level of profitability to the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.
In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Conclusions
The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the registrant by the auditors, and to the registrant’s investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant. In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with maintaining the independence of the auditors. The Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve certain matters to one or more of its members. In this regard, the Committee has delegated authority jointly to the Audit Committee Chair together with another Committee member with respect to non-audit services not exceeding $25,000 in each instance. In addition, the Committee has pre-approved the retention of the auditors to provide tax-related services related to the tax treatment and tax accounting of newly acquired securities, upon request by the investment advisor in each instance.

S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and found that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
