     On August 8, 2005, Adam Borak was appointed as Epoch Holding
Corporation's (the "Company's") new Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer.  Mr. Borak will act as the Company's principal financial and
accounting officer for purposes of its reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.  Mr. Borak is 37 years old and succeeds Mark E.
Wilson, who submitted his resignation to the Company on July 13, 2005.

     Mr. Borak was previously a Director of Finance at Credit Suisse Asset
Management.  Prior to that he was the Chief Financial Officer of Lehman
Brothers Canada, Inc.  Mr. Borak is a Certified Public Accountant and a
graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

     During the last two years, there were no transactions to which the
Company was or is to be a party, in which Mr. Borak had or is to have a
direct or indirect material interest.

     The Company and Mr. Borak entered into a Letter Agreement, dated
August 5, 2005.  Under this agreement, Mr. Borak will devote substantially
all of his business time and efforts to the Company's business.  The
agreement provides that Mr. Borak will initially receive a fixed base
salary at an annual rate of $200,000, subject to annual review by the
Company's Board of Directors, and a "signing bonus" of $25,000 payable by
the Company upon commencement of employment.  Mr. Borak will also receive
for the 2005 calendar year a $200,000 cash bonus, payable in equal
installments at the end of 2005 and 2006, or upon termination of
employment, if sooner and such termination was for any reason other than
"for cause."  In addition, Mr. Borak will also be entitled to receive a
discretionary cash bonus as well as restricted stock award in accordance
with the Company's current policies.  The Company has agreed to grant, as
soon as practical, Mr. Borak restricted stock equivalent to $250,000 of the
Company's Common Stock, subject to forfeiture as set forth in such
restricted stock award.  Mr. Borak is entitled to additional benefits
described in the Letter Agreement.
