Notes to Investment Portfolios
(UNAUDITED) | 07.31.2012

NOTE 1 | Organization and investment objective | The Eagle Series Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a separate Massachusetts business trust. The Trust offers shares in the following series (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and are advised by Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle” or “Manager”). Each Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified, open-end management investment companies.
 
The Eagle Family of Funds consists of the Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund, Eagle Growth & Income Fund and the Eagle Series Trust (each a “Trust” and collectively the “Trusts”). Members of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board” and collectively the “Boards”) for the Trusts may serve as Trustees for one or more of the Trusts.
 
The Eagle Series Trust currently offers shares in six series:
 
The Eagle International Equity Fund (“International Equity Fund”) seeks capital appreciation principally through investment in a portfolio of international equity securities,
   
The Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund (“Investment Grade Bond Fund”) seeks current income and preservation of capital,
   
The Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation,
   
The Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund (“Mid Cap Stock Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation,
   
The Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation, and
   
The Eagle Smaller Company Fund (“Smaller Company Fund”) (formerly known as the Eagle Small Cap Core Value Fund) seeks capital growth.
 
Class offerings | Each Fund is authorized and currently offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R-3 and Class R-5 shares to qualified buyers. The Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Mid Cap Stock Fund, the Small Cap Growth Fund, and the Smaller Company Fund are authorized and currently offer Class R-6 shares to qualified buyers.
 
For all Funds except the Investment Grade Bond Fund, Class A shares are sold at a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. For the Investment Grade Bond Fund, Class A shares are sold at a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class A share investments greater than $1 million, which are not sold subject to a sales charge, may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1% of the lower of net asset value (“NAV”) or purchase price if redeemed within 18 months of purchase.
   
Class C shares are sold subject to a CDSC of 1% of the lower of NAV or purchase price if redeemed within one year of purchase.
   
Class I, Class R-3, Class R-5, and Class R-6 shares are each sold without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC to qualified buyers.

NOTE 2 | Significant accounting policies
Use of estimates | The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
 
Valuation of securities | The price of each Fund’s shares is based on the NAV per share of each class of a Fund. The Funds determine the NAV of their shares on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), or earlier NYSE closing time that day. If the NYSE or other securities exchange modifies the published closing price of securities traded on that exchange after the NAV is calculated, the Manager is not required to recalculate the NAV.
 
Generally, the Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value; however, a Fund may adjust the market quotation price to reflect events that occur between the close of those markets and the time of the Fund’s determination of the NAV.
 
A market quotation may be considered unreliable or unavailable for various reasons, such as:
 
The quotation may be stale;
   
The quotation may be unreliable because the security is not actively traded;
   
Trading on the security halted before the close of the trading market;
   
Security is newly issued;
   
Issuer-specific events occurred after the security halted trading; or
   
Because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE.
   
Issuer-specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include:
   
A merger or insolvency;
 
Events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters; or
   
Market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market.

Both the latest transaction prices and adjustments are furnished by independent pricing services subject to supervision by the Board. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using Pricing and Valuation Procedures (“Procedures”) approved by the Board. A Fund may fair value small-cap securities, for example, that are thinly traded or illiquid. Fair value is the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAV.
 
Pursuant to the Procedures, the Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for applying and administering the Procedures to a valuation committee comprised of certain officers of the Trusts and other employees of the Manager (“Valuation Committee”). The composition of this Valuation Committee may change from time to time. The Valuation Committee follows fair valuation guidelines as set forth in the Procedures to make fair value determinations on all securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable. For portfolio securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee, Eagle checks fair value prices by comparing the fair value of the security with values that are available from other sources (if any). Eagle compares the fair value of the security to the next-day opening price or next actual sale price, when applicable. Eagle documents and reports to the Valuation Committee such comparisons when they are made. The Valuation Committee reports such comparisons to the Board at their regularly scheduled meetings. The Board retains the responsibility for periodic review and consideration of the appropriateness of any fair value pricing methodology established or implemented for a Fund. Fair value pricing methods, Procedures and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board, and may occur as a result of lookback testing results or changes in industry best practices.
 
There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value price used by a Fund on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than the market price of such security on that day, as fair valuation determinations may involve subjective judgments made by the Valuation Committee. Fair value pricing may deter shareholders from trading the Fund shares on a frequent basis in an attempt to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially stale prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading. Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Domestic exchange-traded equity securities | Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange-traded equity securities. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.
   
Foreign equity securities | If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The Fund may fair value a security if certain events occur between the time trading ends on a particular security and the Fund’s NAV calculation. The Fund may also fair value a particular security if the events are significant and make the closing price unreliable. If an issuer-specific event has occurred that Eagle determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Eagle also utilizes a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on exchange rates provided by a pricing service. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the NAV of a Fund’s shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when shareholders would not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
   
Fixed income securities | Government bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed bonds, municipal bonds and convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.
   
Short-term securities | The amortized cost method of security valuation is used by the Funds (as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) for short-term investments (investments that have a maturity date of 60 days or less). The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at cost as of the time of purchase and thereafter accreting/ amortizing any purchase discount/premium at a constant rate until maturity. Amortized cost approximates fair value.
 
Futures and options | Futures and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. At July 31, 2012, none of the Funds held any futures or options.
   
Investment Companies  | Investments in other investment companies are valued at their reported net asset value. In addition, investments in exchange traded funds are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

Fair value measurements | Each Fund utilizes a three-level hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements. The three levels are defined below:
 
Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets;
 
Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered active; and
 
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and may include the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions on determining fair value of investments.
 
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and/or level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Valuation Committee, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. A Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the valuation date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
 
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Valuation Committee. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data. During the period ended July 31, 2012, none of the Funds held any investments that were deemed to be Level 3.

During the period ended July 31, 2012, the International Equity Fund engaged in limited derivative activity. The contract amounts in the Investment Portfolio are representative of typical volumes.
 
Fair values of derivative instruments for the International Equity Fund as of July 31, 2012 are as follows:
 
Type of derivative
Balance sheet location
Value
Assets
   
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts
Unrealized gain on forward currency exchange contracts
$28,525

During the period ended July 31, 2012, no other Fund engaged in derivative activity.
 
Foreign currency transactions | The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and other liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Each Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment transactions. Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies include gains and losses between trade and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the purchase and sale of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes. Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions also includes the effect of any Brazilian IOF tax.
 
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts | Each of the Funds except the Small Cap Growth Fund is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency contracts which are used primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are translated to U.S. dollars using forward exchange rates provided by a pricing service as of the close of the NYSE each valuation day and the unrealized gain or loss is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed, the gain or loss is realized. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. Risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the currency’s value relative to the U.S. dollar and from the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of their contracts.
 
Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) | There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates. Dividend income is recorded at the Manager’s estimate of the income included in distributions from the REIT investments. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts.
 
Repurchase agreements | Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements whereby a Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase is required to be in an amount of at least 100% of the resale price. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, the Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.  At July 31, 2012, none of the Funds held a repurchase agreement.
 
Revenue recognition | Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
 
Expenses | Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, while other expenses are allocated proportionately among the Eagle Family of Funds based upon methods approved by the Board. Expenses that are directly attributable to a specific class of shares, such as distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees and administrative fees, are charged directly to that class. Other expenses of each Fund are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative percentage of net assets. The Funds have entered into an arrangement with the custodian whereby each Fund receives credits on uninvested cash balances which are used to offset a portion of each Fund’s expenses. These custodian credits are shown as “Expense offsets” in the Statements of Operations.
 
Class allocations | Each class of shares has equal rights to earnings and assets except that each class may bear different expense for administration, distribution and/or shareholder services. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
 
Distribution of income and gains | Each Fund except the Investment Grade Bond Fund distributes net investment income annually. Distributions of net investment income in the Investment Grade Bond Fund are made monthly. Net realized gains from investment transactions during any particular fiscal year in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, which, if not distributed, would be taxable to each Fund, will be distributed to shareholders in the following fiscal year. Each Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
 
Other | In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss to each Fund is expected to be remote.
 
NOTE 3 | Federal income taxes and distributions | Each Fund is treated as a single corporate taxpayer as provided for in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required since the Funds intend to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character; these adjustments have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. Financial reporting records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These differences between book-basis and tax-basis are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, net operating losses, distribution reclasses for REITs, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the realization of unrealized gains/losses on passive foreign investment companies for tax purposes, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
