BELROSE CAPITAL FUND LLC as of March 31, 2008

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1 Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Belrose Capital Fund LLC (Belrose Capital) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Fund) have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial highlights as of the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Fund’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2007 and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended have been derived from the December 31, 2007 audited financial statements but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

2 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities including qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, and quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts as well as gains and losses on derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

3 Fair Value Hierarchy

The Fund adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” on January 1, 2008 as required. SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below.

10


Basis of Fair Value Measurement

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
  • Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In determining the fair value of its investments, the Fund uses appropriate valuation techniques based on available inputs. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Fund maximizes its use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Accordingly, when available, the Fund measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. If market data is not readily available, fair value is based upon other significant unobservable inputs such as inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions. As required by SFAS No. 157, investments valued using unobservable inputs are classified to the lowest level of any input that is most significant to the valuation. Thus, a valuation may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

The Fund’s investment in Belvedere Capital Fund Company LLC (Belvedere Company) and Cash Management Portfolio (Cash Management) are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Interest rate swap agreements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy while the Fund’s real estate investments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Fund’s assets classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2008 represent approximately 19.5% of the Fund’s total assets.

The following table presents for each of the hierarchy levels, the Fund’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of March 31, 2008.

The following table presents the changes in the Level 3 fair value category for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Fund classifies investments in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the fair value measurement. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Fund’s real estate investments are considered Level 3 investments.

7 Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Belrose Capital has entered into interest rate swap agreements with Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. to fix the cost of a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility and to mitigate in part the impact of interest rate changes on Belrose Capital’s net asset value. Under such agreements, Belrose Capital has agreed to make periodic payments at fixed rates in exchange for floating-rate payments from the counterparty at a predetermined spread to one-month or three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments may not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these investments is

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A).

The information in this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act). Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “might,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. The actual results of Belrose Capital Fund LLC (the Fund) could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The Fund undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Factors that could affect the Fund’s performance inc lude a decline in the U.S. stock markets or in general economic conditions, adverse developments affecting the real estate industry, or fluctuations in interest rates.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 above.

MD&A for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2007.

Performance of the Fund.(1) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term, after-tax returns for shareholders. Eaton Vance Management (Eaton Vance), as the Fund’s manager, measures the Fund’s success in achieving its objective based on the investment returns of the Fund, using the S&P 500 Index as the Fund’s primary performance benchmark. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index of common stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. Eaton Vance’s primary focus in pursuing total return is on the Fund’s common stock portfolio, which consists of its indirect interest in Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio). The Fund invests in the Portfolio through its interest in Belvedere Capital Fund Company LLC (Belvedere Company). The Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Portfolio primaril y due to its investments outside the Portfolio. In measuring the performance of the Fund’s real estate investments, Eaton Vance considers whether, through current returns and changes in valuation, the real estate investments achieve returns that over the long-term exceed the cost of the borrowings incurred to acquire such investments and thereby add to Fund returns. The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the cost of a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility (described under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below) and to mitigate in part the impact of interest rate changes on the Fund’s net asset value.

The Fund’s total return was -9.74% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This return reflects a decrease in the Fund’s net asset value per share from $124.89 to $110.96 and a distribution of $1.81 per share during the period. The total return of the S&P 500 Index was -9.44% over the same period. Last year, the Fund had a total return of 0.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This return reflected a decrease in the Fund’s net asset value per share from $122.62 to $120.93 and a distribution of $1.93 per share during the period. The S&P 500 Index had a total return of 0.64% over the same period.

Performance of the Portfolio. Financial markets endured a difficult first quarter as uncertainty about the credit market and the economy weighed on investors. Consumers battled rising food and energy prices while investors struggled with weak economic data and mounting inflation concerns. To address liquidity pressures, the Federal Reserve lowered the Federal funds and discount rates. Most popular indices failed to recover from mid-March lows and realized losses in the first quarter. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite lost 14%, while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 7.6% and the S&P 500 Index declined 9.44% . It was the worst quarter for major indices since the third quarter of 2002, when the equity markets were approaching the lowest point of a protracted bear market.

Amid increased market volatility, every economic sector of the S&P 500 Index registered declines. The consumer staples, industrials and materials sectors fared relatively better than the market, while the financials, information technology and telecommunication sectors registered double digit declines. Market-leading industries of the first quarter included road and rail, health care equipment and supplies, as well as air freight and logistics. In contrast, the thrifts and mortgage finance, wireless telecommunication services and investment banks industries realized double digit negative returns. On average during the course of the quarter, mid-cap and small-cap stocks continued to lag their larger-cap counterparts and value style gained over growth.

(1)      Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value with all distributions reinvested. The Portfolio’s total return for the period reflects the total return of another fund that invests in the Portfolio adjusted for non-Portfolio expenses of that fund. Performance is for the stated time period only and is not annualized; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher. The performance of the Fund and the Portfolio is compared to that of their benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The Portfolio invests on a long-term basis in a broadly diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stocks of established growth companies. The Portfolio slightly outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, with a return of -8.45% during the period. The Portfolio’s out-performance was driven by positive sector allocation decisions and relatively stronger stock selection versus the S&P 500 Index. For comparison, total return of the Portfolio in the first quarter of 2007 was 0.14%, slightly lagging the S&P 500 Index return of 0.64% over the same period.

The Portfolio remained overweight in the industrials, consumer staples and discretionary sectors during the period, while continuing to underweight the technology, utilities and materials sectors. A de-emphasis of the lagging information technology and health care sectors benefited the Portfolio’s performance, as did relatively stronger stock selection within the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors. The Portfolio’s relatively lower exposure to credit sensitive financials such as thrifts, mortgage and service stocks was beneficial as was an overweight in the defensive staples industries such as beverages and food products.

In contrast, investment choices within the machinery, and road and rail industries hindered returns. Additionally, the Portfolio’s limited exposure to the stronger performing chemicals, and metals and mining industries coupled with stock selection within the energy equipment and service industry also negatively impacted returns.

Performance of Real Estate Investments. The Fund’s real estate investments are held through Belrose Realty Corporation (Belrose Realty). As of March 31, 2008, real estate investments included: two real estate joint ventures (Real Estate Joint Ventures), Deerfield Property Trust (Deerfield) and Katahdin Property Trust, LLC (Katahdin); two wholly owned real properties (Wholly Owned Properties), Bel Marlborough Campus, LLC (Bel Marlborough) and Bel Larimer, LLC (Bel Larimer); and a portfolio of income-producing preferred equity interests in real estate operating partnerships that generally are affiliated with and controlled by real estate investment trusts (REITs) that are publicly traded (Partnership Preference Units). Deerfield owns industrial distribution properties, Katahdin owns multifamily properties, Bel Marlborough owns an office campus and Bel Larimer owns a retail property.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Fund’s net investment income from real estate investments was approximately $4.7 million compared to approximately $4.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $0.2 million or 4%. The increase was principally due to higher distributions from investments in Partnership Preference Units due to more Partnership Preference Units held on average during the quarter and an increase in net investment income from Wholly Owned Properties related to the acquisition of Bel Larimer in June 2007, partially offset by a decrease in the net investment income from Deerfield. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Fund’s net investment income from real estate investments decreased due to lower distributions from investments in Partnership Preference Units due to fewer Partnership Preference Units held on average during the quarter and a decrease in the net investment income of the Real Estate Joint Ventures, partially o ffset by the acquisition of Bel Marlborough in September 2006.

The fair value of the Fund’s real estate investments was approximately $411.1 million at March 31, 2008 compared to approximately $419.5 million at December 31, 2007, a net decrease of $8.4 million or 2%. This net decrease was principally due to a net decline in the fair values of Partnership Preference Units held at quarter end and to decreases in the fair value of Belrose Realty’s investments in Katahdin. The Fund’s investments in real properties achieved modest returns during the quarter, benefiting from earnings in the expected range offset, however, by capitalization rates and discount rates which widened slightly. These rates reflected the reduced availability of debt financing and uncertainty on the direction of valuations for institutional-grade real estate, thereby causing a decrease in transactional activity. The fair values of Partnership Preference Units decreased during the quarter due to continued widening of credit spreads, partially offset by a declin e in interest rates during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Fund saw net unrealized depreciation of the fair value of its real estate investments of approximately $8.4 million compared to net unrealized appreciation of approximately $5.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Net unrealized depreciation of approximately $8.4 million consisted primarily of approximately $7.9 million of net unrealized depreciation in the value of the Partnership Preference Units and $0.5 million of net unrealized depreciation in the value of Real Estate Joint Venture investments.

Performance of Interest Rate Swap Agreements. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, net realized and unrealized losses on the Fund’s interest rate swap agreements totaled approximately $6.1 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Net realized and unrealized losses on swap agreements for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 consisted of $5.7 million of net unrealized losses due to changes in swap agreement valuations and $0.4 million of periodic net payments made pursuant to outstanding swap agreements (and classified as net realized losses on interest rate swap agreements in the Fund’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

the quarter ended March 31, 2007, net realized and unrealized losses on swap agreements consisted of $1.2 million of net unrealized losses due to changes in swap agreement valuations, partially offset by $0.6 million of periodic net payments received pursuant to outstanding swap agreements. The negative contribution to Fund performance from changes in swap agreement valuation for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was attributable to a decrease in swap rates during the quarter. The negative contribution to Fund performance for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 from changes in swap agreement valuation was attributable to a decrease in the remaining term of the agreements and a modest decrease in swap rates during the quarter.

Fair Value Measurements. The Fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” on January 1, 2008 as required. SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. For more information see Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Outstanding Borrowings. The Fund has entered into credit arrangements with Dresdner Kleinwort Holdings I, Inc. (DKH) and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc. (MLMC) (collectively, the Credit Facility) primarily to finance the Fund’s real estate investments and to satisfy the liquidity needs of the Fund. The Fund will continue to use the Credit Facility for such purposes in the future. In the future, the Fund may increase the size of the Credit Facility (subject to lender consent) and the amount of outstanding borrowings thereunder. As of March 31, 2008, the Fund had outstanding borrowings of $419.5 million and unused loan commitments of $124.0 million under the Credit Facility.

The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements with respect to a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility. Pursuant to these agreements, the Fund makes periodic payments to the counterparty at predetermined fixed rates in exchange for floating rate payments that fluctuate with one-month and three-month LIBOR. During the terms of the outstanding interest rate swap agreements, changes in the underlying values of the agreements are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. As of March 31, 2008, the accumulated unrealized depreciation related to the interest rate swap agreements was approximately $6.7 million. As of December 31, 2007, the accumulated unrealized depreciation related to the interest rate swap agreements was approximately $1.0 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s primary exposure to interest rate risk arises from its real estate investments that are financed by the Fund with floating rate borrowings under the Credit Facility and by fixed-rate secured mortgage debt obligations of Bel Marlborough and Bel Larimer. Partnership Preference Units are fixed rate instruments whose values will generally decrease when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. The interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility are reset at regular intervals based on one-month and three-month LIBOR. The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the cost of a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility and to mitigate in part the impact of interest rate changes on the Fund’s net asset value. Under the terms of the inte rest rate swap agreements, the Fund makes cash payments at fixed rates in exchange for floating rate payments that fluctuate with one-month and three-month LIBOR. The Fund’s interest rate swap agreements will generally increase in value when interest rates rise and decrease in value when interest rates fall. In the future, the Fund may use other interest rate hedging arrangements (such as caps, floors and collars) to fix or limit borrowing costs. The use of interest rate hedging arrangements is a specialized activity that can expose the Fund to significant loss.

The following table summarizes the contractual maturities and weighted-average interest rates associated with the Fund’s significant non-trading financial instruments. The Fund has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. This information should be read in conjunction with Note 7 to the Fund’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Fund Governance. As the Fund’s manager, the complete and entire management, control and operation of the Fund are vested in Eaton Vance. The Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer intend to report to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Eaton Vance, Inc. (the sole trustee of Eaton Vance) any significant deficiency in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, and any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Eaton Vance, as the Fund’s manager, evaluated the effectiveness of the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, with the participation of the Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that the Fund designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, the Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures were effect ive.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Although in the ordinary course of business the Fund and its subsidiaries may become involved in legal proceedings, the Fund is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which they are subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from risk factors as previously disclosed in the Fund’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 in response to Item 1A to Part 1 of Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

As described in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, shares of the Fund may be redeemed on any business day. The redemption price will be based on the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund of a written redemption request from a shareholder, including a proper form of signature guarantee and such other documentation the Fund and the transfer agent may then require. The Fund may, at its discretion, accept redemption requests submitted by facsimile transmission. Once accepted, a redemption request may not be revoked without the consent of the Fund. Settlement of redemptions will ordinarily occur within five business days of receipt by the Fund’s transfer agent of the original redemption request in good order, and (if applicable) promptly following registration and processing of stock certificates by the transfer agent of the issuer of the distributed securities. The right to rede em is available to all shareholders and all outstanding Fund shares are eligible for redemption (except for shares subject to an estate freeze election). During each month in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the total number of shares redeemed and the average price paid per share were as follows:

    Total No. of Shares    Average Price Paid 
 Month Ended         Redeemed(1)           Per Share
