•  None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer's account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker/dealers.

•  Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information.

In addition, our Privacy Policy only applies to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer's account (i.e. fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/ broker–dealer, it is likely that only such adviser's privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures.

For more information about Eaton Vance's Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called "householding" and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.

Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.

If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.

Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.

Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).

Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds' and Portfolios' Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to Portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122. This description is also available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of April 30, 2005

INVESTMENT UPDATE

The Fund

Performance

•Based on its April 2005 monthly dividend of $0.1261 and a closing share price of $17.69, Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund, a closed-end fund traded on the American Stock Exchange (the “Fund”), had a market yield of 8.55%.(1)

•Based on share price (traded on the American Stock Exchange), the Fund had a total return of 8.22% for the year ended April 30, 2005.(2) That return was the result of a decrease in share price from $17.81 on October 31, 2004 to $17.69 on April 30, 2005 and the reinvestment of $1.606 in monthly dividends.

•Based on net asset value, the Fund had a total return of 5.29% for the year ended April 30, 2005.(2) That return was the result of a decrease in net asset value per share from $19.07 on October 31, 2004 to $18.43 on April 30, 2005, and the reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund’s Investments

•The Fund’s managers continued to diversify the Fund’s bond and senior loan investments along industry lines. The Fund had exposure to companies that respond to economic growth, as well as non-cyclical companies whose earnings are less dependent on economic expansion. At April 30, 2005, the Fund’s investments spanned 47 industries, with no single industry representing more than 8% of the Fund’s net assets.

•Due to relatively stable credit conditions and continuing strong technical factors, credit spreads in the loan market were at historical lows for much of the year. Late in the period, loan pricing eased slightly in response to significant spread widening in the high-yield bond market. Once again, loans demonstrated their relatively low volatility versus high-yield bonds and, for the period, acted as a risk mitigator for the overall Fund. This was largely due to the seniority and floating-rate characteristics of loans.

•The high-yield market performed well in 2004, characterized by strong new issuances, low default rates and narrowing credit spreads. However, market sentiment weakened in March and April 2005, amid a Treasury market decline, rumors of a ratings downgrade in Ford and General Motors bonds and concerns over the economy. Management positioned the Fund’s high-yield investments defensively, maintaining a shorter duration and avoiding the more speculative segments of the high-yield market. The Fund focused on 2- and 3-year bonds and issues nearing their call dates – a strategy that shortened duration and provided some protection from higher interest rates and widening credit spreads. The Fund focused on non-cyclical areas, such as wireless telecom, and companies with excellent liquidity.

•Within the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) segment, the Fund’s investments remained focused on seasoned MBS. Prepayment rates for the Fund’s seasoned MBS declined significantly over the course of the year, in part due to the Federal Reserve’s continued campaign to raise short-term rates and fight inflation. The Fed raised its Federal Funds rate – a key short-term interest rate benchmark – on eight occasions from June 2004 though May 2005. Declining prepayment rates in combination with yield spreads on seasoned MBS tightening approximately 90 basis points (0.90%) contributed to the outperformance of seasoned MBS over Treasuries.

•At April 30, 2005, the Fund had leverage in the amount of approximately 33.5% of the Fund’s total assets. The Fund is leveraged through the issuance of Auction Preferred Shares and its securities lending program. Use of financial leverage creates an opportunity for increased income, but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares).

[Limited Duration Letter]

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for an Eaton Vance fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or share price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

(1) The Fund’s market yield is calculated by dividing the most recent dividend per share by the share market price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.

(2) Performance results reflect the effect of leverage resulting from the Fund’s issuance of Auction Preferred Shares and its securities lending program. In the event of a rise in long-term interest rates, the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio could decline, which would reduce the asset coverage for its Auction Preferred Shares.

Shares of the Fund are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested. Yield will vary.

⁽¹⁾  Senior floating-rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the senior floating-rate interests will have an expected average life of approximately two to three years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the "Prime Rate") and the certificate of deposit ("CD") rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.

⁽²⁾  Unfunded loan commitments, see Note 1E for description.

⁽⁴⁾  Defaulted security.

⁽⁵⁾  Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At April 30, 2005, the aggregate value of the securities is $230,186,987 or 11.2% of the Fund's net assets.

⁽⁶⁾  Adjustable rate mortgage.

⁽⁷⁾  All or a portion of these securities were on loan at April 30, 2005.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1  Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 12, 2003. The Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund may, as a secondary objective, also seek capital appreciation to the extent consistent with its primary goal of high current income. The Fund pursues its objectives by investing primarily in, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued, backed or otherwise guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; senior, secured floating rate loans made to corporate and other business entities (Senior Loans); and corporate bonds of below investment grade quality (Non-Investment Grade Bonds). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

AInvestment Valuation - Debt securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations and certain mortgage backed securities ("MBS")) normally are valued by independent pricing services. The pricing services consider various factors relating to bonds or loans and/or market transactions to determine market value. Most seasoned MBS are valued by the investment adviser's matrix pricing system. The matrix pricing system also considers various factors relating to bonds and market transactions to determine market value.

Certain Senior Loans are deemed to be liquid because reliable market quotations are readily available for them. Liquid Senior Loans are valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the Fund's investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management (EVM), under procedures approved by the Trustees. In connection with determining the fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser makes an assessment of the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan. The primary factors considered by the investment adviser when making this assessment are (i) the creditworthiness of the borrower, (ii) the value of the collateral backing the Senior Loan, and (iii) the priority of the Senior Loan versus other creditors of the borrower. If, based on its assessment, the investment adviser believes there is a reasonable likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan, the investment adviser will determine the fair value of the Senior Loan using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan relative to yields on other loan interests issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If, based on its assessment, the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the Senior Loan, the investment adviser will determine the fair value of the Senior Loan using analyses that include, but are not limited to (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower's outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower's assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising such factors, data and information and the relative weight to be given thereto as it deems relevant, including without limitation, some or all of the following: (i) the fundamental characteristics of and fundamental analytical data relating to the Senior Loan, including the cost, size, current interest rate, maturity and base lending rate of the Senior Loan, the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan and any related agreements, and the position of the Senior Loan in the Borrower's debt structure; (ii) the nature, adequacy and value of the collateral securing the Senior Loan, including the Fund's rights, remedies and interests with respect to the collateral; (iii) the creditworthiness of the Borrower, based on an evaluation of, among other things, its financial condition, financial statements and information about the Borrower's business, cash flows, capital structure and future prospects; (iv) information relating to the market for the Senior Loan, including price quotations for and trading in the Senior Loan and interests in similar Senior Loans and the market environment and investor attitudes towards the Senior Loan and interests in similar Senior Loans; (v) the experience, reputation, stability and financial condition of the agent and any intermediate participants in the Senior Loan; and (vi) general economic and market conditions affecting the fair value of the Senior Loan.

Other portfolio securities (other than short-term obligations, but including listed issues) may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by one or more pricing services which determine prices for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities which may use market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. In certain circumstances, portfolio securities will be valued at the last sales price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted bid price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales during the day. The value of interest rate swaps

29

Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of April 30, 2005

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

will be based on dealer quotations. Short-term obligations which mature in 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity when acquired by the Fund was 60 days or less or are valued at amortized cost using their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity when acquired by the Fund was more than 60 days, unless in each case this is determined not to represent fair value. OTC options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price provided by dealers. Financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges and exchange traded options are valued at closing settlement prices. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. Other portfolio securities for which there are no quotations or valuations are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

BIncome - Interest income from Senior Loans is recorded on the accrual basis at the then-current interest rate, while all other interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.

CFederal Taxes - The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At April 30, 2005, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $67,366,920 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Such capital loss carryover will expire on April 30, 2012 ($26,481,368) and April 30, 2013 ($40,885,552).

At April 30, 2005, net capital losses of $10,947,188 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2004, are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's taxable year ending April 30, 2006.

DInvestment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the transaction date. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuations during this period. To the extent that when-issued or delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund instructs the custodian to segregate assets in a separate account, with a current value at least equal to the amount of its purchase commitments.

EUnfunded Loan Commitments - The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which, may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrower's discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments.

FOffering Costs - Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the offering of the common shares were recorded as a reduction of capital paid in excess of par applicable to common shares.

GExpense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances the Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.

HWritten Options - Upon the writing of a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written in accordance with the Fund's policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities underlying the written option.

IPurchased Options - Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Fund's policies on investment valuations discussed above. If an option which the Fund has purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss,

30

Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of April 30, 2005

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.

JFinancial Futures Contracts - Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit an amount (initial margin) either in cash or securities equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying securities, and are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.

If the Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the financial futures contract to sell and the financial futures contract to buy. The Fund's investment in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.

KReverse Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under such an agreement, the Fund temporarily transfers possession, but not ownership, of a security to a counterparty, in return for cash. At the same time, the Fund agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed-upon price and time in the future. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements for temporary purposes, such as to fund withdrawals, or for use as hedging instruments where the underlying security is denominated in a foreign currency. As a form of leverage, reverse repurchase agreements may increase the risk of fluctuation in the market value of the Fund's assets or in its yield. Liabilities to counterparties under reverse repurchase agreements are recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at the same time at which cash is received by the Fund. The securities underlying such agreements continue to be treated as owned by the Fund and remain in the Portfolio of Investments. Interest charged on amounts borrowed by the Fund under reverse repurchase agreements is accrued daily.

LTotal Return Swaps - The Fund may enter into swap agreements to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or market conditions; to change the duration of the portfolio; to mitigate default risk; or for other risk management purposes. Pursuant to these agreements, the Fund makes monthly payments at a rate equal to a predetermined spread to the one-month LIBOR. In exchange, the Fund receives payments based on the rate of return of a benchmark industry index. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Payments received or made at the end of the measurement period are recorded as realized gains and losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between the rate of interest and the benchmark industry index. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. However, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates or the index.

MCredit Default Swaps - The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts for risk management purposes, including diversification. When the Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty to the contract in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation. In return, the Fund would pay the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefit from the contract. When the Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay upon default of the referenced debt obligation. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The Fund will segregate assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.

NOther - Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification of securities sold.

OUse of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PIndemnifications - Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

2  Auction Preferred Shares (APS)

The Fund issued 7,600 shares of Auction Preferred Shares Series A, 7,600 shares of Auction Preferred Shares Series B, 7,600 shares of Auction Preferred Shares Series C, 7,600 shares of Auction Preferred Shares Series D, and 7,600 shares of Auction Preferred Shares Series E on July 25, 2003 in a public offering. The underwriting discount and other offering costs were recorded as a reduction of the capital of the common shares. As of April 30, 2005, 6,400 shares of Series A, 6,400 shares of Series B, 6,400 shares of Series C, 6,400 shares of Series D and 6,400 shares of Series E were outstanding. Dividends on the APS, which accrue daily, are cumulative at a rate which was established at the offering of the APS and have been reset every 7 days thereafter by an auction. Dividend rates ranged from 1.12% to 3.5% for Series A Shares, from 1.09% to 3.2% for Series B Shares, from 1.15% to 3.26% for Series C Shares, from 1.18% to 3.00% for Series D Shares and from 1.10% to 3.45% for Series E Shares, during the year ended April 30, 2005.

The APS are redeemable at the option of the Fund, at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends on any dividend payment date. The APS are also subject to mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if the Fund is in default for an extended period on its asset maintenance requirements with respect to the APS. If the dividends on the APS shall remain unpaid in an amount equal to two full years' dividends, the holders of the APS as a class have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Trustees. In general, the holders of the APS and the common shares have equal voting rights of one vote per share, except that the holders of the APS, as a separate class, have the right to elect at least two members of the Board of Trustees. The APS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverage with respect to the APS as defined in the Fund's By-Laws and the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund pays an annual fee equivalent to 0.25% of the preferred shares' liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auctions.

3  Distribution to Shareholders

The Fund intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and are payable at the end of each dividend period. Each dividend payment period for the APS is generally seven days. The applicable dividend rate for the APS on April 30, 2005 was 3.00%, 3.10%, 3.03%, 2.80% and 2.95%, for Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E Shares, respectively. For the year ended April 30, 2005, the Fund paid dividends to Auction Preferred shareholders amounting to $3,426,721, $3,405,273, $3,405,659, $3,403,089, and $3,396,739 for Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E Shares, respectively, representing an average APS dividend rate for such period of 1.99%, 1.98%, 1.99%, 1.98% and 1.97%, respectively.

The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid in capital. These differences relate primarily to the different treatment for paydown gain/losses on mortgage-backed securities and the method for amortizing premiums.

The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended April 30, 2005 and April 30, 2004 was as follows:

	Year Ended April 30,
	2005		2004
Distributions declared from:
Ordinary Income	$	195,901,476	$	157,596,620

During the year ended April 30, 2005, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $36,346,912, and accumulated net realized loss was increased by $36,346,912. This change had no effect on the net assets or the net asset value per share.

As of April 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed income	$	4,196,112
Unrealized gain	$	10,325,944
Other temporary differences	$	(10,947,188	)
Capital loss carryforward	$	(67,366,920	)

6  Securities Lending Agreement

The Fund has established a securities lending agreement in which the Fund lends portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. Under the agreement, the Fund continues to earn interest on the securities loaned. Collateral received is generally cash, and the Fund invests the cash and receives any interest on the amount invested but it must also pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. The loan rebate fee paid by the Fund offsets a portion of the interest income received and amounted to $4,127,509 for the year ended April 30, 2005. At April 30, 2005, the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral amounted to $251,528,551 and $257,767,142, respectively. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund is subject to potential loss if it is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on the loans. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

7  Common Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional $0.01 par value common shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in common shares were as follows:

9  Financial Instruments

The Fund regularly trades in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options and financial futures contracts, and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of April 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities held as of April 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and selling or Agent Banks; where replies were not received from selling or Agent Banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund at April 30, 2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The investment advisory agreement between Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the "Fund") and the investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management ("Eaton Vance"), provides that the advisory agreement will continue in effect from year to year so long as its continuance is approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the noninterested Trustees of the Fund cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval and (ii) by the Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding interests of the Fund.

In considering the annual approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the investment adviser, the Special Committee of the Board of Trustees considered information that had been provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished to the Special Committee for a series of meetings held in February and March in preparation for a Board meeting held on March 21, 2005 to specifically consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement. Such information included, among other things, the following:

•  A independent report comparing the advisory fees of the Fund with those of comparable funds;

•  Information provided by Eaton Vance regarding Fund investment performance (including on a risk-adjusted basis) in comparison to a relevant peer group of funds;

•  The economic outlook and the general investment outlook in relevant investment markets;

•  Eaton Vance's results and financial condition and the overall organization of the investment adviser;

•  The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of Fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;

•  The allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by the investment adviser as a result of brokerage allocation;

•  Eaton Vance's management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants;

•  The resources devoted to Eaton Vance's compliance efforts undertaken on behalf of the funds it manages and the record of compliance with the investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions;

•  The quality, nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates; and

•  The terms of the advisory agreement and the reasonableness and appropriateness of the particular fee paid by the Fund for the services described herein.

The Special Committee received information concerning the investment philosophy and investment process applied by Eaton Vance in managing the Fund. In this regard, the Special Committee considered Eaton Vance's in-house research capabilities as well as other resources available to Eaton Vance personnel, including research services that may be available to Eaton Vance as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients. The Special Committee concluded that Eaton Vance's investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund, given the Fund's investment objective and policies. The Special Committee also took into account the time and attention to be devoted by senior management to the Fund and the other funds in the complex. The Special Committee evaluated the level of skill required to manage the Fund and concluded that the human resources available at Eaton Vance were appropriate to fulfill effectively the duties of the investment adviser on behalf of the Fund.

In its review of comparative information with respect to Fund investment performance, the Special Committee concluded that the Fund has performed within a range that the Special Committee deemed competitive. With respect to its review of investment advisory fees, the Special Committee concluded that the fees paid by the Fund are within the range of those paid by comparable funds within the mutual fund industry. In reviewing the information regarding the expense ratio of the Fund, the Special Committee concluded that the Fund's expense ratio is within a range that is competitive with comparable funds.

In addition to the factors mentioned above, the Special Committee reviewed the level of the investment adviser's profits in providing investment management and administration services for the Fund and for all Eaton Vance funds as a group. The Special Committee noted in particular that the Fund benefits from a contractual waiver of advisory fees and other expenses effective during the first five years of the Fund's operations. In addition, the Special Committee considered the fiduciary duty assumed by the investment adviser in connection with the services rendered to the Fund and the business reputation of the investment adviser and its financial resources. The

38

Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTCONT'D

Trustees concluded that in light of the services rendered, the profits realized by the investment adviser are not unreasonable. The Special Committee also considered the fact that the Fund is not continuously offered and concluded that, in light of the level of the investment adviser's profits with respect to the Fund, the implementation of breakpoints is not appropriate.

The Special Committee did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to renew the investment advisory agreement. Nor are the items described herein all the matters considered by the Special Committee. In assessing the information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates, the Special Committee also took into consideration the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds which provides a large variety of shareholder services.

Based on its consideration of the foregoing factors and conclusions, and such other factors and conclusions as it deemed relevant, and assisted by independent counsel, the Special Committee concluded that the approval of the investment advisory agreement, including the fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders.

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the registrant’s fiscal years ended April 30, 2004 and April 30, 2005 by the registrant’s principal accountant for professional services rendered for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and fees billed for other services rendered by the principal accountant during such period.

Fiscal Year Ended	4/30/04		4/30/05
Audit Fees	$	66,700	$	68,740
Audit-Related Fees(1)	14,000		4,950
Tax Fees(2)	5,800		8,000
All Other Fees(3)	0		0
Total	$	86,500	$	81,690

(1)Audit-related fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements and are not reported under the category of audit fees and specifically include fees for the performance of certain agreed-upon procedures relating to the registrant’s auction preferred shares.

(2)Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant relating to tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning and specifically include fees for tax return preparation.

(3)All other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the principal accountant other than audit, audit-related, and tax services.

 (e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant (the “Pre-Approval Policies”).  The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the audit committee in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities.  As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees.  Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.

The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant’s audit committee at least annually.  The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.

(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the registrant’s audit committee pursuant to the “de minimis exception” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The following table presents (i) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed for services rendered to the registrant by its principal accountant for the registrant’s last two fiscal years; and (ii) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed for services rendered to the Eaton Vance organization for the registrant’s last two fiscal years.

Fiscal Year Ended	4/30/04		4/30/05
Registrant	$	19,800	$	12,950
Eaton Vance(1)	$	479,012	$	351,449

(1) Eaton Vance Management, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., acts as the registrant’s investment adviser and administrator.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5.  Audit Committee of Listed registrants

The registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Norton H. Reamer (Chair), Samuel L. Hayes, III, William H. Park, Lynn A. Stout and Ralph E. Verni are the members of the registrant’s audit committee.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the “Fund Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Fund’s investment adviser and adopted the investment adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policies”) which are described below.  The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year.  In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board’s Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy.  The Board’s Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.

The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a company’s management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders.  The investment adviser will generally support company management on proposals relating to environmental and social policy issues, on matters regarding the state of organization of the company and routine matters related to corporate administration which are not expected to have a significant economic impact on the company or its shareholders.  On all other matters, the investment adviser will review each matter on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to deviate from the Policies’ guidelines when it believes the situation warrants such a deviation.  The Policies include voting guidelines for matters relating to, among other things, the election of directors, approval of independent auditors, executive compensation, corporate structure and anti-takeover defenses.  The investment adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote.

In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients.  The investment adviser’s personnel responsible for reviewing and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from a company included on that list to members of senior management of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. Such members of senior management will determine if a conflict exists.  If a conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.

Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 8. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

No such purchases this period.

Item 9. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Effective February 7, 2005, the Governance Committee of the Board of Trustees revised the procedures by which a Fund’s shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s Board of Trustees to add the following (highlighted):

 The Governance Committee shall, when identifying candidates for the position of Independent Trustee, consider any such candidate recommended by a shareholder of a Fund if such recommendation contains  (i)sufficient background information concerning the candidate, including evidence the candidate is willing to serve as an Independent Trustee if selected for the position; and (ii) is received in a sufficiently timely manner (and in any event no later than the date specified for receipt of shareholder proposals in any applicable proxy statement with respect to a Fund).  Shareholders shall be directed to address any such recommendations in writing to the attention of the Governance Committee, c/o the Secretary of the Fund. The Secretary shall retain copies of any shareholder recommendations which meet the foregoing requirements for a period of not more than 12 months following receipt. The Secretary shall have no obligation to acknowledge receipt of any shareholder recommendations.
