PROXY STATEMENT

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with Epoch Holding Corporation’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card and our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K will be mailed to our stockholders on or about November 1, 2007. This proxy statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Annual Meeting. Please read the proxy statement carefully.

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Who is soliciting my vote?

The Board of Directors of Epoch Holding Corporation is soliciting your vote at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

You will be voting:

• on the election of six nominees to serve on our Board of Directors until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

• with respect to such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

What are the Board of Directors’ recommendations?

The Board of Directors recommends a vote:

• FOR the election of each of the nominees listed in Proposal 1.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Our Board of Directors has set October 15, 2007 as the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). All stockholders who owned shares of our Common Stock or Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes do I have?

You will have one vote for each share of our Common Stock, or, on an as-converted basis, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that you owned at the close of business on the Record Date, provided those shares are either held directly in your name as the stockholder of record or were held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, bank or other nominee.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner?

Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record.  If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed a proxy card for you to use.

4

Beneficial Owner.  If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting, unless you request, complete and deliver a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or other nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote your shares.

How many votes can be cast by all stockholders?

Each share of our Common Stock or, on an as converted basis, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote. There is no cumulative voting. We had 20,141,406 shares of Common Stock outstanding and, on an as-converted basis, 1,666,667 shares of Common Stock underlying our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Record Date.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares underlying our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and transact business. This is called a “quorum.” Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting or a proxy card has been properly submitted by you or on your behalf. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

How many votes are required to elect directors?

Election of directors is by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the six individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors who receive the most “FOR” votes (among votes properly cast in person or by proxy) will be elected; nominees do not need to receive a majority to be elected. If you withhold authority to vote with respect to the election of some or all of the nominees, your shares will not be voted with respect to those nominees indicated. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of those nominees.

What if I don’t vote for some of the items listed on my proxy card or voting instruction card?

If you return your signed proxy card or voting instruction card in the enclosed envelope but do not mark selections, it will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. If you indicate a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon on your proxy card or voting instruction card, the shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions.

If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in street name through a broker and do not return the voting instruction card, the broker or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under applicable rules, brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters, such as the uncontested election of directors, but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters, such as bonus plans, amendments to stock option plans and stockholder proposals opposed by management.

If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker and the broker has indicated on the proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal, your shares will be considered “broker non-votes” with regard to that matter. Broker non-votes will be considered as represented for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be considered as entitled to vote with respect to that proposal. Broker non-votes are not counted in the tabulation of the voting results with respect to the election of directors or for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a particular proposal. Thus, a broker non-vote will make a quorum more readily obtainable, but the broker non-vote will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on a proposal that requires a majority of the votes cast (such as an amendment to a stock option plan). However, with respect to a proposal that requires a majority of the outstanding shares (such as an amendment to the certificate of incorporation), a broker non-vote has the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

5

Can I change or revoke my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. Even if you sign the proxy card or voting instruction card in the form accompanying this proxy statement, vote by telephone or vote via the internet, you retain the power to revoke your proxy or change your vote. You can revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before it is exercised by giving written notice to our Secretary specifying such revocation. You may also change your vote by timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy or a later-dated vote by telephone or via the internet, or by voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card?

It generally means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for all proxy and voting instruction cards you receive.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

All stockholders as of the Record Date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend. Each stockholder may also bring one guest to the meeting if there is space available.

What do I need to attend the Annual Meeting?

In order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting, a stockholder must present proof of ownership of our stock as of the Record Date. Any holder of a proxy from a stockholder must present the properly executed proxy card. Stockholders and proxy holders must also present a form of photo identification such as a driver’s license.

Who pays for the proxy solicitation and how will Epoch solicit votes?

The Company will bear the expense of printing and mailing proxy materials. In addition to this solicitation of proxies by mail, our directors, officers and other employees may solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone, facsimile or email. They will not be paid any additional compensation for such solicitation. We will request brokers and nominees who hold shares of our common stock in their names to furnish proxy material to beneficial owners of the shares. We will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.

How can I access the proxy materials and annual report electronically?

The Company maintains a website which contains current information on operations and other corporate governance matters. The website address is www.eipny.com. Through the “Investor Relations” section of our website, we make available, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our proxy filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

Is a list of stockholders available?

The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available to stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting for ten days prior to the meeting for any purpose relevant to the meeting. This list can be viewed between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at our principal executive offices at 640 Fifth Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10019. Please contact our Secretary to make arrangements.

HOW DO I VOTE?

Your vote is important. You may vote by telephone, via the Internet, by mail or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting by ballot, all as described below. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders by use of a control number and to allow you to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card.

Vote by Telephone

You can vote by calling the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card. Easy-to-follow voice prompts allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

Vote via the Internet

You can also choose to vote via the Internet. The website for Internet voting is www.continentalstock.com. As with telephone voting, you can confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote via the Internet, you also can request electronic delivery of future proxy materials. If you vote via the Internet, please note that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies, for which you will be responsible for.

Vote by Mail

If you choose to vote by mail, simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. If the envelope is missing, please mail your completed proxy card to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., 17 Battery Place, 8^th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Proxy Department.

Vote at the Annual Meeting

The method or timing of your vote will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person. However, if your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. You should allow yourself enough time prior to the Annual Meeting to obtain this proxy from the holder of record.

The shares represented by the proxy cards received, properly marked, dated, signed and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction card but do not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy card or voting instruction card will be voted as recommended by the Board or Directors.

General

This Proxy Statement, including the letter from our Chairman and Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (collectively the “Proxy Statement”), is furnished to the holders (“Stockholders”) of Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, a Delaware corporation, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 29, 2007, including any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). It is anticipated that the mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card will commence on or about November 1, 2007.

Our Board does not know of any matters that are expected to be presented for consideration at our Annual Meeting other than the matters described in this Proxy Statement. However, if other matters properly

7

come before our Annual Meeting, the persons named as your proxy holders on the proxy card will vote, act and consent on those matters in accordance with their judgment.

All proxies received pursuant to this solicitation will be voted “FOR” Proposal 1, except where authority to vote is specifically withheld and where another choice is specified, in which event, they will be voted in accordance with such specification. If no instructions are given, the persons named in the proxy solicited by our Board intend to vote “FOR” Proposal 1.

Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum

Only Stockholders of record at the close of business on October 15, 2007 will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 20,141,406 shares of Common Stock and, on an as-converted basis, 1,666,667 shares of Common Stock underlying our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. Shares of our Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, on an as converted basis, are the only securities entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting and each share of Common Stock outstanding, on an as converted basis, as of the Record Date will be entitled to one vote. The presence in person or by proxy of the Stockholders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as converted basis will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Vote Required

Delaware law and our By-Laws require that each of the six nominees for director be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Revocability of Proxies

A Stockholder may revoke a proxy at any time before its exercise by:

• notifying in writing the Company at 640 Fifth Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Adam Borak, Secretary,

• completing a later-dated proxy, or

• appearing in person and voting at the Annual Meeting. Additional proxy cards are available from our Secretary.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by our directors, officers or employees, none of whom will receive any compensation in addition to their regular remuneration. We will reimburse brokers and certain other persons holding stock in their names or in the names of nominees for their expenses in sending proxy materials to principals and obtaining their proxies, which are anticipated to total $15,000.

Voting of Proxies

Proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon. A validly executed proxy which does not indicate instructions will be voted “FOR” the Proposal. The Annual Meeting will be held for the transaction of business described above and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. Proxies will confer discretionary authority with respect to any other matters which may properly be brought before the Annual Meeting. At the date of this Proxy Statement, the only business which our management intends to present, or knows that others will present, is that described in this Proxy Statement. If other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons holding proxies solicited hereunder intend to vote such proxies in accordance with their judgment on all such matters.

8

Tabulation of Votes

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on the proposals and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes are not counted for any purpose in determining whether a matter has been approved.

The presence of a quorum for the Annual Meeting, defined here as a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting, is required.

Although it is not anticipated that any of the persons nominated for election to the Board will be unable to stand for election, a proxy, in the event of such an occurrence, may be voted for a substitute designated by our Board. However, in lieu of designating a substitute, our Board may amend our By-Laws to reduce the number of directors.

Board Member Independence

Our Board has determined that, other than Mr. Priest, each of the nominees for director is “independent” as independence is defined by Nasdaq Corporate Governance Listing Standards.

Communications with our Board of Directors

Our Board provides a process for Stockholders and interested parties to send communications to the Board. Stockholders and interested parties may communicate with our Board, any committee chairperson or our non-employee directors as a group by writing to the Board or committee chairperson in care of Epoch Holding Corporation, Attention: Secretary, 640 Fifth Avenue, 18^th Floor, New York, New York 10019. Each communication will be forwarded, depending on the subject matter, to the Board, the appropriate committee chairperson or all non-employee directors.

Committees of the Board and Meetings

The Board of Directors held five meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Each incumbent director attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and the standing committees of which the director was a member. All of the directors were present, in person or telephonically, at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that all members of the Audit, Compensation and Governance/Nominating Committees are “independent directors” as defined by Nasdaq Corporate Governance Listing Standards.

The Audit Committee, which presently consists of Messrs. Freedman, Flaherty and Markin, held seven meetings during fiscal 2007. All members of the Audit Committee attended at least 75% of the meetings. In the event a member was unable to participate in any given meeting, the Chairman of the Audit Committee briefed, in full, such absentee member as to the discussion at such meeting. The Audit Committee reviews and satisfies itself as to the adequacy of the structure of our financial organization and as to the proper implementation of our financial reporting and accounting policies. Mr. Freedman serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee, and our Board has determined that Mr. Freedman is an Audit Committee “financial expert” as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K. We believe that each of our Audit Committee members is financially sophisticated and able to read and understand our financial statements.

The Compensation Committee, which presently consists of Messrs. Tessler, Berenson, and Markin, held three meetings during fiscal year 2007, and has held six meetings subsequent to June 30, 2007. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board as to salaries, bonuses, and other forms of compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. Mr. Markin currently serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.

Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, which consists of Messrs. Flaherty, Berenson and Markin, is responsible for identifying and evaluating nominees for director and for recommending the nominees for election at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year 2007 and one meeting subsequent to June 30, 2007. Mr. Flaherty

12

serves as Chairman of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. As indicated above, Mr. Markin intends to step down as a director as of the 2007 Annual Meeting. Presently, Mr. Markin serves on the Company’s Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee and is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Board, after the Annual Meeting and consultation with the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, will designate appropriate replacements for Mr. Markin on the respective Committees.

In evaluating the suitability of individuals for Board membership, our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee takes into account many factors, including whether the individual meets requirements for independence; the individual’s general understanding of the various disciplines relevant to the success of a publicly-traded company; the individual’s understanding of our businesses and markets; the individual’s professional expertise and educational background; and other factors that promote diversity of views and experience. Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of our Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of directors that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment, using its diversity of experience. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee considers a director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in, and contributions to, the activities of the Board. Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has not established any specific minimum qualification standards for nominees to our Board, although from time to time our Board may identify certain skills or attributes (e.g., financial experience and investment advisory and sub-advisory management experience) as being particularly desirable to help meet specific bxCompany needs that have arisen. Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does not distinguish between nominees recommended by stockholders and other nominees.

Nominees must be approved for nomination in accordance with the criteria and procedures set forth by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.

In identifying potential candidates for Board membership, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee relies on suggestions and recommendations from Board members, management and others. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee may also retain search firms to assist it in identifying potential candidates for director, gathering information about the background and experience of such candidates and acting as an intermediary with such candidates. Currently, no such firms have been retained.

Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider timely written suggestions from our Stockholders. Stockholders wishing to suggest a candidate for director nomination for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders should mail their suggestions to: Epoch Holding Corporation, 640 Fifth Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Adam Borak, Secretary. Suggestions must be received by our Secretary no later than September 1 of each year. The manner in which director nominee candidates suggested in accordance with this policy are evaluated will not differ from the manner in which candidates recommended by other sources are evaluated.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (“Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors. Our Code of Ethics constitutes our “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the “code of conduct” under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available through the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website, www.eipny.com. We intend to post amendments to or waivers from the Code of Ethics as required by applicable rules at this location on our website.

Our employees and directors are required to report any conduct that they believe could in any way be construed as a fraudulent or illegal act or otherwise in violation of the Code of Ethics. The Audit Committee has established procedures to receive, retain and address complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of related concerns.

Director Compensation

The Board believes that a substantial portion of director compensation should be in the form of equity to help align directors’ interests with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee annually reviews and recommends to our Board of Directors the compensation of our non-employee directors. For fiscal year 2007, directors who were not salaried employees of our Company received annual fees equal to $50,000 in Common Stock, based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five business days ended June 30, 2006. In May 2007, the Compensation Committee recommended, and our Board of Directors approved, changes to our non-employee director compensation for fiscal year 2008. For fiscal year 2008, directors who are not salaried employees of our Company receive annual fees equal to $80,000, with a minimum of $60,000 payable in Common Stock, at the discretion of the director, based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five business days ended June 30, 2007. Awards are granted at the beginning of the fiscal year, and vest one year from the date of grant. Directors who receive compensation as officers or employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for their services on the Board. All directors of the Company are reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board and its committees.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) is comprised entirely of “independent directors” under NASD listing standards who are also non-employee directors as defined in Rule 4200(c)(15) under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”) and “outside directors” as defined under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”). The Committee authorizes and determines all salaries for our officers, administers our incentive compensation plan in accordance with the powers and authority granted in such plan, determines any incentive awards to be made to our officers, administers all of our stock incentive plan and other equity ownership, compensation, retirement and benefit plans, approves the performance-based compensation of individuals pursuant to Section 162(m) and administers other matters relating to compensation or benefits.

The Committee annually reviews and approves our executive compensation strategy and principles to ascertain whether they are aligned with our business strategy and objectives, stockholder interests, desired behaviors and corporate culture. The Committee establishes the total compensation paid to the executive officers with the goal of being fair, reasonable and competitive. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to executive officers are similar in most respects to those provided to other key employees.

Throughout this proxy statement, the individuals who served as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Executive Vice Presidents during fiscal 2007 are referred to as the “named executive officers.”

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Committee acknowledges that the investment management and financial services industry is highly competitive and that experienced professionals have significant career mobility. The Company competes for executive talent with a large number of investment management and financial services companies, some of which are privately owned and others that have significantly larger market capitalizations than the Company. We are a smaller company in a highly competitive industry and our ability to attract, retain and reward our named executive officers and other key employees is essential to maintaining the Company’s competitive position. The Company’s comparatively smaller size within its industry provides unique challenges, and therefore, is a substantial factor in the design of the executive compensation program. The Committee’s goal is to maintain a compensation program that is competitive within the Company’s industry. Each year, the Committee reviews the executive compensation program with respect to the external competitiveness of the program, the linkage between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value, and determines what changes, if any, are appropriate.

In determining the form and amount of compensation payable to the Company’s named executive officers, the Committee is guided by the following objectives and principles:

• Compensation levels should be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain key executives.  The Company aims to ensure its executive compensation program attracts, motivates and retains high performance talent and rewards them for the Company’s achieving and maintaining a competitive position in its industry. Total compensation should increase with position and responsibility.

• Compensation should relate directly to performance and incentive compensation should constitute a substantial portion of total compensation.  The Company aims to foster a pay-for-performance culture, with a majority of total compensation being “at risk.” Accordingly, a substantial portion of total compensation should be tied to, and vary with, the Company’s financial, operational and strategic performance, as well as individual performance. Executives with greater roles and the ability to directly impact the Company’s strategic goals and long-term results should bear a greater proportion of the risk if these goals and results are not achieved.

17

• Long-term incentive compensation should align executives’ interests with the Company’s stockholders.  Awards of equity-based compensation encourage executives to focus on the Company’s long-term growth and prospects and incentivize executives to manage the Company from the perspective of owners with a meaningful stake in the Company, as well as to focus on long-term career orientation.

• Benefits should comprise an element of executive compensation.  The Company provides several benefits. The Committee believes that the Company’s benefits are competitive with its peers and provide additional incentive for strong performance.

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to reward the achievement of initiatives regarding growth and productivity, including:

• To set, implement and communicate strategies, goals and objectives that ensure growth in assets under management and earnings at rates that are competitive with or greater than our peers, create stockholder value, and focus employees on meaningful actions that position the Company for growth.

• To recruit, motivate and exhibit leadership that aligns employees’ interests with that of our stockholders.

• To develop and maintain a strong understanding of the competitive environment and position the Company as a competitive force within its industry.

• To develop business models and systems that seek out strategic opportunities, which benefit the Company and our stockholders.

• To sustain an investment culture focused on performance and high quality products that benefit clients.

• To implement a culture of compliance and unwavering commitment to operate the Company’s business with the highest standards of professional conduct and compliance.

Compensation Process

Based on the foregoing objectives, the Committee has structured our annual and long-term incentive cash and equity-based executive compensation to motivate executives to achieve the business goals set by us and reward the executives for achieving such goals. In establishing total annual compensation for the named executive officers, the Committee performs the following reviews:

• Management’s Role in the Compensation-Setting Process.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, William W. Priest, provides evaluations of all senior executive officers, including the named executive officers, and provides recommendations to the Committee regarding base salary levels and the form and amount of the annual incentive bonus and long-term equity award paid to all senior executive officers who report directly to Mr. Priest. Additionally, Mr. Priest and other officers of the Company attend Committee meetings and, upon the Committee’s request, provide compensation and other information to the Committee, as well as historical and prospective breakdowns of primary compensation components for each executive officer.

Compensation Consultant.  The Committee Charter provides the Committee sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consulting firm or other adviser it deems appropriate. For fiscal 2007, the Committee engaged Compensation Resources, Inc, a compensation consulting firm independent from management and the Company, and which we refer to herein as “CRI”, to review and assess total compensation and individual pay components (i.e., base salary, incentive compensation and long-term equity awards) for the named executive officers, and to provide various compensation analyses requested by the Committee. Specifically, the Committee directed CRI to provide (1) comparative compensation data with respect to the Company’s peer group, including both public and private asset management companies and (2) recommendations regarding the Company’s overall compensation program and executive officers’ pay levels. CRI has served as the Committee’s compensation consultant since 2005.

18

• Benchmarking Against Our Peer Group.  With the assistance of CRI, the Committee benchmarked the Company’s executive compensation program in fiscal 2007 against a group of companies in the asset management and financial services industry. The Company competes for market share, institutional clients, mutual fund shareholders and executive talent and employees within the investment advisory industry. The peer group includes several of the companies in the Investment Advisor Standard Industry Classification Code 6282 that is used for comparison purposes in the Company’s stock performance graph.

The Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based exclusively or primarily on benchmarking to the Company’s publicly traded peers. Although many of those companies may compete with the Company in certain lines of business, they are not, in the main, fully comparable in terms of size, scope or operations. The Committee looks to external market data as one of several reference points in reviewing and establishing individual pay components and total compensation and ensuring that the Company’s executive compensation is competitive in the marketplace. In addition to reviewing our market positioning against our public competitors, the Committee also reviews competitive compensation information obtained from McLagan Partners’ Investment Management Survey, a widely used source for compensation information within public and private investment firms. This survey provides more detailed analysis of compensation for a greater depth of investment management employees than are available for public companies and are specifically focused on the asset management industry.

• Compensation Analysis Tools.  In addition to the competitive compensation survey information provided by CRI, the McLagan surveys, and the historical and prospective breakdowns of the total compensation components for each executive officer provided by management, the Committee also reviewed various compensation metrics. The Committee intends to continue using and developing these aides in the future as compensation practices are reviewed and evolve in order to provide the Committee with the most relevant information and analyses practicable.

• Determining Compensation Levels.  The Committee annually determines targeted total compensation level, as well as the individual pay components of the named executive officers. In making such determinations, the Committee reviews and considers (1) market survey information for comparable public and private asset managers, (2) recommendations of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, based on individual responsibilities and performance, (3) historical compensation levels for each named executive officer, (4) industry conditions and the Company’s future objectives and challenges, and (5) overall effectiveness of the executive compensation program.

There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between cash and long-term equity-based incentive compensation. Rather, the Committee considers information provided by the compensation surveys and peer group analysis as well as its own judgment to determine the appropriate level and mix of each component of the compensation program. In general, as executives progress to higher levels of our company, their ability to directly impact our performance and shareholder value increases, and our need to retain these executives increases. As a result, they receive a larger allocation of their total compensation in the form of long-term equity-based incentive compensation compared to the average for all employees.

Based upon information received from CRI, recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, and its own judgment, the Committee approved the base salary, performance-based cash incentive award and performance-based restricted stock incentive award of each named executive officer in fiscal 2007. The Committee believes these approved forms and levels of compensation are reasonable, appropriate and in line with the Company’s compensation philosophy and principles.

Forms of Compensation

Total compensation for the named executive officers consists of one or more of the following components:

• Base salary;

• Cash incentive bonus awards;

• Long-term equity-based incentive awards;

19

• Employee and post-retirement benefits; and

• Perquisites.

Base Salary

Base salaries are reviewed annually by the Committee. Generally, base salaries are governed by (1) tenure of service, (2) scope and complexity of the position, including current job responsibilities, (3) relative salaries of the Company’s peers, and (4) recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, including an evaluation of each officer’s individual performance and contribution to the Company’s financial, operational and strategic goals and objectives. Consistent with compensation practices generally applied in the investment management and financial services industry, base salaries generally form a lower percentage of total compensation, with a majority of total compensation coming from variable incentive compensation that is tied to Company performance.

The Committee may elect not to increase an executive officer’s annual salary, and has so elected in prior years, in an effort to limit base salary increases and to enforce the philosophy that a majority component of total compensation for executive officers should come from incentive compensation. However, if warranted, the Committee will increase base salary where an executive officer was assigned additional responsibilities or was promoted.

For fiscal 2007, the Committee reviewed and approved the base salary of all named executive officers.

Cash Incentive Bonus Awards

Epoch provides its executives with the opportunity to earn variable cash compensation based on a combination of individual and corporate performance, and the actual awards may vary significantly among recipients. Such cash awards may be in the form of performance-based annual incentive awards and discretionary bonus awards. The Committee believes that cash incentive bonus awards promote high performance and achievement of corporate goals and objectives by key employees, encourage the growth of stockholder value and allow key employees to participate in our long-term growth and profitability.

The Committee grants performance-based annual incentive awards of cash to our executives, in such amounts and subject to such terms, conditions and metrics as the Committee may determine. The Committee believes that the payment of cash performance-based annual incentive awards provides effective short-term incentives for the named executive officers and other employees, rewards individual and company-wide performance and recognizes the executives’ and employees’ contributions to serving our clients and creating value for our stockholders.

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards

Long-term equity-based incentive awards are designed to align the interests of our named executive officers, as well as all of our employees, with the interests of our clients and stockholders. Long-term equity-based incentive awards are issued pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“the Omnibus Plan”), which was approved by shareholders at the November 2004 Annual Meeting. Such awards are intended to encourage our named executive officers and other employees to focus on our long-term performance. While the Omnibus Plan provides the flexibility to issue several types of long-term equity-based incentive awards, the Committee expects that its equity-based awards will likely be limited to performance-based restricted stock awards. Long-term equity-based incentive awards are a key component of our overall compensation program and we believe it has enabled us to attract, retain and motivate talented professionals. The Committee also believes that performance-based restricted stock awards are the most effective equity-based awards to accomplish these objectives, as it best conveys the concept of ownership to grantees and allows them to vote the shares and receive dividends on their vested and unvested shares.

The Committee has utilized performance based restricted stock awards over the last three years as a meaningful component of total compensation paid to the named executive officers. The Committee has the authority, pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, to grant performance based shares based upon Company and individual performance. Such shares can be shares of common stock and/or performance units which are

20

expressed in terms of common stock. Historically, the Committee has awarded restricted common stock. Such shares contain vesting and other provisions. Equity based compensation has been a significant component of compensation for our named executives, as the Committee believes that a larger allocation to long-term equity-based incentive awards provides better alignment of incentives between employees, stockholders and clients. These awards also allow the executives to participate in any growth in shareholder value to which they contribute. Because of the risk of forfeiture if the recipient’s employment ends before the restrictions have terminated, restricted stock grants also serve as a valuable retention tool.

The vesting and number of restricted shares of our stock may be conditioned upon the lapse of time or the satisfaction of other factors determined by the Committee. The recipient of restricted shares will generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the right to receive dividends and the right to vote the shares. None of the restricted shares may be sold, transferred or pledged during the restricted period, and all restricted shares shall be forfeited, and all rights to the shares will terminate, if the recipient ceases to be an employee before the expiration or termination of the restricted period and satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee with respect to the shares. The restrictions on transferability, and risks of forfeiture, generally lapse as follows: 12.5% immediately, and at the rate of 12.5%, 25%, and 50% upon the completion of the first, second, and third anniversaries, respectively.

For the named executive officers and all other eligible employees, restricted stock grants are made annually. Grants have historically been made in conjunction with annual reviews. Grants for the named executive officers are determined based on performance evaluations by the Committee, which focus on company performance, group performance and individual performance. For each named executive officer other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Executive Officer submits a recommendation to the Committee, which has full discretion for review, modification and final approval of awards.

The Committee does not rely solely on predetermined formulas, weighted factors or a limited set of criteria in making compensation decisions. In determining incentive awards payable to named executive officers, the Committee considers, among other thing, the Company’s financial, strategic and operating results, performance of the Company’s products, execution of the Company’s business plan, the Company’s total shareholder return, leadership and personal performance, analysis of the executive’s historical and current compensation, and competitiveness of the executive’s total compensation.

The Committee intends to continue its strategy of compensating the Company’s named executive officers through programs that emphasize performance-based incentive compensation, fostering a pay-for-performance culture. To that end, a majority of executive compensation will continue to be tied to Company and individual performance, while maintaining an appropriate balance between cash and non-cash compensation.

The foregoing discussion primarily describes the compensation philosophies, principles and practices the Committee utilizes in setting executive compensation currently. In the future, as the Committee continues to review each element of the executive compensation program, these philosophies, principles and practices may change.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Compliance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a federal income tax deduction to publicly held companies for certain compensation greater than $1 million paid for any fiscal year to the corporation’s chief executive officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) as of the end of any fiscal year. However, the statute exempts qualifying “performance-based” compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met.

In designing our compensation programs, the Committee’s policy is to generally structure programs to achieve deductibility under 162(m). The Committee will strive to preserve the deductibility of executive compensation under 162(m), but the Committee reserves the flexibility to take actions that may be based on considerations in addition to tax deductibility. The Committee believes that shareholder interests are best served by not restricting the Committee’s discretion and flexibility in crafting compensation programs, even though such programs may result in certain non-deductible compensation expenses. Accordingly, the Committee may from time to time approve components of compensation for certain officers that are not deductible. In

21

addition, it is possible that some performance-based compensation paid to the named executive officers will not satisfy Section 162(m) performance-based requirements, and as a result, a portion of such compensation may not be deductible by us.

Employee and Post-Retirement Benefits

We offer employee and post-retirement benefit coverage to all employees in order to provide employees with a reasonable level of financial support in the event of injury, illness or disability and to provide employees with the ability to accumulate retirement savings. All employees are eligible to participate in all benefit programs including medical, dental and vision insurance coverage, disability insurance and life insurance. In addition, all employees are eligible to participate in the Epoch Holding Corporation 401k Plan (the “Savings Plan”). The cost of health insurance and the Savings Plan is partially borne by employees, including the named executive officers. We bear the cost of disability insurance and a set amount of term life insurance for all employees on a non-discriminatory basis.

Savings Plan and Profit Sharing Contributions

Under the Savings Plan, employees may contribute up to 60% of their salary subject to the IRS annual maximum. Employees are vested immediately in their Savings Plan contribution. The Savings Plan also authorizes the Company to make discretionary contributions to employees’ Savings Plan accounts based on our profitability and performance. The profit sharing component of the Savings Plan is meant to be broad-based and all employees are eligible for discretionary profit sharing contributions. In 2007, we made a discretionary contribution for all employees, including the named executive officers, of $2,200.

Pension Benefits

None of our named executives participate in, or have account balances in, qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans sponsored by Epoch.

Perquisites

During the year, the Company paid certain life insurance premiums on behalf of Mr. Priest. We do not provide any other significant perquisites or personal benefits to our named executive officers.

Fiscal 2007 Executive Compensation Components

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the principal components of compensation for named executive officers were:

• Base salary;

• Cash incentive bonus awards;

• Long-term equity-based incentive awards;

• Employee and post-retirement benefits; and

• Perquisites.

22

Base Salary

In January 2006, the Committee approved an increase in base salary from $200,000 to $250,000 for our CEO, Mr. Priest, and for Messrs. Clark, Pearl and Taussig. Mr. Borak maintained the same base salary of $200,000, as he had recently joined the Company. In considering the CEO’s base salary, as well as the salaries of the other named executives, the Committee considered the factors discussed above under “Forms of Compensation Program — Base Salary”, including the contribution and scope of responsibility of each executive, the available market data for other peer named executives, and the reasonableness of the amount of the base salaries.

In January 2007, the Committee approved an increase in base salary from $250,000 to $300,000 for our CEO, Mr. Priest, and for Messrs. Clark, Pearl and Taussig, and an increase in base salary from $200,000 to $225,000 for Mr. Borak. In considering the CEO’s base salary, as well as the salaries of the other named executives, the Committee considered the factors discussed above under “Forms of Compensation Program — Base Salary”, including the contribution and scope of responsibility of each executive, the available market data for other peer named executives, and the reasonableness of the amount of the base salaries.

Additionally, the Committee considered measures of Epoch Holding Corporation’s performance in fiscal year 2006, including increases in assets under management, revenues, and income from continuing operations from fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2006.

The Committee also took into account subjective measures of responsibilities and performance during fiscal year 2006 including the responsibilities of the officer, the CEO’s and Committee’s views as to the individual performance by the named executive officer during the fiscal year, and the CEO’s and Committee’s views of the initiative, business judgment and management skills of the named executive.

Cash Incentive Bonus Awards

In June 2007, the Committee determined the annual cash incentive bonus award for Messrs. Priest, Clark, Pearl and Taussig for fiscal year 2007. In setting this award, the Committee considered measures of Epoch Holding Corporation’s performance in fiscal year 2007, including:

• Assets under management increased by approximately 85%, from $3.25 billion at June 30, 2006 to $6.0 billion at June 30, 2007;

• Revenues increased by approximately 134%, from $10.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $23.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2007;

• The Company’s operating loss decreased to $2.5 million from $7.1 million the prior year; and

• The Company had overall net income, including gains and other income of $7.9 million.

The Committee also took into account subjective measures of each named executive’s responsibilities and performance during fiscal year 2007 including:

• Increased roles and responsibilities in fiscal year 2007 in conjunction with our growth; and

• Leadership of our management team throughout the year.

In addition, the Committee considered information received from its outside compensation consultant, CRI, as to cash compensation levels of chief executive officers and peer named executives of relevant competitor asset management firms and the reasonableness of the amount of the awards the Committee was considering granting. Taking these factors into account, the Committee established a cash incentive award of $600,000 for the CEO, Mr. Priest, and $600,000 each for Messrs. Clark, Pearl and Taussig. Mr. Borak, the Company’s CFO and a named executive, has historically been paid on a calendar year-basis with other employees, and received a cash incentive award of $250,000 in January 2007. Prospectively, it is anticipated that all the named executives will be paid concurrently.

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards

In August 2007, the Committee determined the long-term equity-based incentive awards for Messrs. Priest, Clark, Pearl and Taussig for fiscal year 2007. In setting this award, the Committee considered

23

measures of the Company’s performance in fiscal year 2007, including the measures considered in setting the cash incentive bonus awards (see “Cash Incentive Bonus Awards” above). Additionally, the Committee considered the following:

• The Company’s strong investment performance in its products;

• The expansion of the product line;

• The expansion of the distribution channels; and

• The trading price of the Company’s common stock had increased approximately 163% from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007.

The Committee also took into account subjective measures of each named executive’s responsibilities and performance during fiscal year 2007 including:

• The increased roles and responsibilities in fiscal year 2007 in conjunction with the growth of the Firm;

• The leadership of Epoch’s management team throughout the year; and

• The strengthening of Epoch’s brand recognition and overall image.

In addition, the Committee considered equity-based incentive awards of chief executive officers and peer named executives of relevant competitor asset management firms and the reasonableness of the amount of the awards the Committee was considering granting. Taking these factors into account, the Committee established long-term equity based incentive awards of the equivalent of $575,000 for the CEO, Mr. Priest, $425,000 for Mr. Clark, $475,000 for Mr. Pearl, and $425,000 for Mr.Taussig. Mr. Borak received a long-term equity-based incentive award of $250,000 in January 2007.

Executive Compensation in Fiscal 2008

On September 27, 2007, the Committee approved the fiscal 2008 performance goals pursuant to which performance-based incentive awards will be awarded to Messrs. Priest, Clark, Pearl and Taussig under the Epoch 2004 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. The Omnibus Plan had previously been approved by shareholders at the November 2004 Annual Meeting. The awards are designed to ensure that annual bonuses meet the performance-based compensation rules under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee established the maximum aggregate annual incentive award that could be awarded to Messrs. Priest, Clark, Pearl and Taussig, as well as the maximum amount payable to each of those individuals, based on the Committee’s assessment of our profitability at the end of the fiscal year. The actual amount payable as annual incentive for each of Messrs. Priest, Clark, Pearl and Taussig is determined by the Committee, which can reduce, but not increase, the maximum awards determined by the performance formula.

The maximum aggregate annual incentive award that could be awarded to Messrs. Priest, Clark, Pearl and Taussig for the annual performance period is 1.5x earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (amortization includes the amortization of stock-based compensation) (“EBITDA”), and provided EBITDA is at least $5 million. For each of Messrs. Priest, Clark, Pearl and Taussig, the maximum individual amount payable is .375x EBITDA, or 25% of the maximum aggregate annual incentive award. The Committee chose EBITDA as the basis for the performance formula because it believes that EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of our performance and profitability and also believes that structuring the performance in this way closely aligns the incentives of these executives with our stockholders. The Committee chose these multiples based on its review of market and peer group compensation data as well as its subjective assessment of the proper allocation to performance-based incentive awards within the total compensation of these executives.

The Committee may reduce the maximum and individual awards determined under the plan to ensure that the actual payouts reflect the performance of the Company and the respective executive, and are reasonable relative to peer compensation. As noted earlier, the Committee does not rely solely on predetermined formulas, weighted factors or a limited set of criteria in making compensation decisions.

24

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Compensation Committee consisted of three non-employee directors — Messrs. Tessler, Markin and Berenson. None of the executive officers serve as a director of another corporation in a case where an executive officer of such other corporation serves as a director of our Company.

Employment Agreements

There are no employment agreements with any executive officer of our Company. The Company was obligated to enter into an agreement with William W. Priest, our current Chief Executive Officer, prior to June 2, 2007, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 2, 2004. The Company and Mr. Priest are in the process of evaluating the terms of such an agreement and expect to complete a mutually acceptable arrangement in the near future. Terms of the agreement are to be customary for chief executive officers of peer group companies and must be reviewed and approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Potential Payments on Termination or a Change of Control

We have not provided our named executive officers with agreements providing for severance payments, medical or insurance benefits or any other perquisites after their employment has ended or following a change of control of Epoch.

Termination (including for Cause, other than for Cause, Death or Disability)

As described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this Proxy Statement, our named executive officers typically receive long-term incentive awards in the form of restricted stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, upon termination of a named executive’s continuous service during the applicable restriction period, the named executive’s restricted stock at that time shall be forfeited. The Compensation Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any award agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to restricted stock shall be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to accelerate the vesting of any restricted stock in its discretion at any time.

Change of Control

All unvested shares of restricted stock issued to a named executive officer automatically vest, and all restrictions on the shares will lapse, upon a change of control of Epoch (as defined below), except to the extent of any waiver by the executive, and subject to any applicable restrictions due to legal or other requirements. Upon vesting, shares cease to be subject to transfer restrictions and forfeiture.

However, if in the event of a change in control the successor company assumes or substitutes for the unvested shares of restricted stock award, then the unvested shares of restricted stock shall not be accelerated.

For purposes of our restricted stock, a “change of control” of Epoch means (1) a person, other than one of our affiliates, becoming the direct or indirect owner of securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of our outstanding stock, or (2) during any period of two consecutive years individuals who constitute the Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, or (3) the approval by our stockholders of an agreement to merge or consolidate Epoch with or into another company (with Epoch not remaining an independent publicly owned company) or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, other than a transaction in which Epoch or its stockholders own 50% or more of the combined voting power of the surviving entity.

The following table sets forth information regarding potential accelerated payments to each of our named executive officers in the event of a termination of his or her employment, upon death or disability, or following a change of control of Epoch.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed CF & Co., L.L.P. (“CF”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of our Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Representatives of CF are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to answer questions. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. Our organizational documents do not require that our stockholders ratify the selection of CF as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee, or any member designated by the Audit Committee Chairman, approves in advance all audit and any non-audit services rendered by CF to Epoch and its consolidated subsidiaries. Any member to whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee has considered the role of CF in providing tax services to the Company and has concluded that such services are compatible with CF’s independence as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. CF does not provide any business consulting or other non-audit services to the Company.

All audit, audit-related and tax services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm which required pre-approval, as defined in our Audit Committee’s policies and procedures, were pre-approved. Services other than audit, review, or attest services, which did not require pre-approval pursuant to those policies were brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Chairman of our Audit Committee in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.

29

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees paid or accrued by the Company for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007and 2006, and for the review of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those fiscal years were as follows:

Audit-Related Fees(2)		11		9
Tax Fees(3)		57		51
All Other Fees(4)		—		—
Total Fees	$	367	$	185

(1) Audit fees for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were for the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, review of financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports, and consultations on accounting and financial reporting matters. Fiscal 2007 audit fees also include an audit of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(2) Audit-related fees are principally for additional review of the Company’s operations and systems in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, review of the proxy statements and attendance at stockholders’ meetings in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, and review of Form S-3 registration statements for preferred stock and certain common stock in fiscal 2007.

(3) Tax fees include preparation of income tax returns and consultations on various tax matters in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006.

(4) There were no fees billed by CF in fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006 for any other services not described in the three categories listed immediately above.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of the financial accounting and reporting of Epoch. In addition to selecting the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“independent auditors”), the Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring (i) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, (ii) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, (iii) the performance of the Company’s independent auditors, (iv) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, and (v) the Company’s system of disclosure controls and its system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is composed of three independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. Each Audit Committee member, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, and as of the date of the adoption of this report, is independent under the standards established by the Board and the Nasdaq. The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Freedman qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

The Audit Committee held seven meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The meetings were intended, among other things, to facilitate communication among the Audit Committee, management, and the independent auditors, C.F. & Co., LLP. The Audit Committee reviewed with management and its independent auditors the overall scope and plans for the respective audit and discussed with both management and the independent auditors the results of their examinations and their evaluations of Epoch’s internal controls. The Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditors included a review of significant accounting policies applied by Epoch in its financial statements. The Committee meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

For fiscal year 2007, management completed the documentation, testing and evaluation of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting in response to the requirements set forth in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and related regulations. The Audit Committee monitored the progress of the evaluation and provided oversight and guidance to management during the process. In connection with this

30

oversight, the Audit Committee received periodic updates provided by management and the independent auditors. At the conclusion of the process, management provided the Audit Committee with a report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, and the independent auditor provided the Audit Committee with their related attestation report.

Epoch’s management is responsible for the financial reporting process, for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and for the establishment and effectiveness of Epoch’s internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and laws and regulations. Epoch’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for attesting to the effectiveness of Epoch’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee monitors and reviews these processes. The members of the Audit Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of Epoch as of, and for the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2007 with management and Epoch’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communication with Audit Committees”, as amended, including the quality, not just the acceptability, of the significant accounting policies, the reasonableness of management judgments and estimates and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

Furthermore, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from Epoch and its management. When considering the independent auditors’ independence, the Audit Committee considered whether their provision of services to Epoch beyond those rendered in connection with their audit and review of Epoch’s consolidated financial statements was compatible with maintaining their independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed, among other things, the amount of fees paid to the independent auditors for audit and non-audit services.

Based on the reviews, reports and discussions described in this Report, and subject to the limitations of the Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that Epoch’s audited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2007 be included in Epoch’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Audit Committee also recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, the selection of CF & Co., L.L.P. as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

There have been no related party transactions, or proposed transactions, with our Company, or its subsidiaries in an amount exceeding $120,000 since the end of the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

From time to time, our directors, executive officers and employees, members of their immediate families and companies or affiliates of companies that employ our independent directors may have investments in various investment vehicles or accounts sponsored or managed by us or utilize our products or services in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable products or services provided to unaffiliated third parties.

All material transactions involving affiliated parties are subject to approval by the Audit Committee. We have a written policy addressing the review and approval of related party transactions that is entitled our Conflicts of Interest Policy and is included in the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The Conflicts of Interest Policy provides that, except with the Board of Directors’ prior knowledge and consent, no director, officer or employee of Epoch or its subsidiaries may be involved in a transaction or relationship that gives rise to a “conflict of interest” with Epoch. The policy defines “conflict of interest” as an occurrence where a director, officer or employee’s private interests interfere, or appear to interfere, in any way with our interests as a whole, and specifically includes all related party transactions and relationships we are required to disclose in our proxy statement.

In the event the Board of Directors’ consent to a conflict of interest is sought, the request must be addressed to our compliance officer (or, where the matter involves the compliance officer, to the Audit Committee) and referred to the Audit Committee for its consideration. If the matter involves any member of the Audit Committee, the matter is required to be addressed by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. A majority of the members of the Audit Committee (or a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, where applicable) must approve any request. The terms of any transaction consented to must be as favorable to us as the terms would be if the transaction were entered into with an unrelated third party.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of holdings and transactions in the Company’s equity securities with the SEC, generally within two business days of a reportable transaction. As a practical matter, the Company seeks to assist its directors and executives by monitoring transactions and completing and filing reports on their behalf.

Based solely on a review of the reports furnished to the Company, or written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transactions were reported, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s officers, directors and greater than ten-percent owners timely filed all reports they were required to file under Section 16(a).

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Article VI of our Articles of Incorporation provides for us to indemnify any and all directors and officers whom it shall have power to indemnify under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other referred to in, or covered by, such Section. The indemnification provided in Section 145 of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the persons so indemnified may be entitled under our By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity by holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors. Each indemnification agreement provides that, notwithstanding the other provisions of such indemnification agreements, to the extent that a director or officer is a party to and is wholly or partly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any proceeding covered by an indemnification agreement, we will indemnify such person to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law against all expenses and liabilities actually incurred by or for the director or officer in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter in such proceeding. If the director or officer is unsuccessful, on the merits or otherwise, we have agreed to indemnify such person unless we prove by clear and convincing evidence in a forum selected by the director or executive officer that the act or omission that gave rise to the proceeding did not meet our indemnification standard.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company maintains a web site which contains current information on operations and other corporate governance matters. The website address is www.eipny.com. Through the “Investor Relations” section of our website, we make available, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our proxy filed with the SEC, as well as quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Under SEC rules, stockholders intending to present a proposal at the 2008 Annual Meeting and have it included in our Proxy Statement must submit the proposal in writing to Epoch Holding Corporation, Attention: Adam Borak, Secretary, 640 Fifth Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10019. We must receive the proposal no later than August 1, 2008.

Stockholders intending to present a proposal at the 2008 Annual Meeting but not include it in our Proxy Statement, and stockholders intending to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors, must comply with the requirements set forth in the Company’s By-Laws. The By-Laws require, among other things, that a stockholder must submit a written notice of intent to present such a proposal or to make such a nomination and set forth other information specified in the By-Laws. The notice must be received by our Secretary no more than 120 days and no less than 90 days prior to the anniversary of the first mailing of the Company’s proxy statement for the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, the Company must receive any such notice for the 2008 Annual Meeting no earlier than July 1, 2008, and no later than August 1, 2008. If the notice is received before July 1, 2008, or after August 1, 2008, it will be considered untimely and we will not be required to present the proposal or nominee for voting at the 2008 Annual Meeting. The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal or nomination that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

HOUSEHOLDING

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules permit companies and intermediaries to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement to those stockholders. This method of delivery, often referred to as “householding,” reduces the amount of duplicate information that stockholders receive and lowers printing and mailing costs for companies. The Company is not householding materials for our stockholders in connection with the current year’s annual meeting.

34

If a broker or other nominee holds your shares and is participating in the practice of householding:

• You can contact us by calling (212) 303-7200 or by writing to Epoch Holding Corporation, Attention: Adam Borak, Secretary, at 640 Fifth Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10019, to request a separate copy of the annual report on Form 10-K and proxy statement for the annual meeting, or you can contact your broker to make the same request.

• You can request delivery of a single copy of annual reports or proxy statements from your broker if you share the same address as another stockholder.
