The table below compares the long-term performance record for our separate account composite since 1977, using our traditional value-oriented product, the <strong>Gabelli</strong> PMV with a<br />

Catalyst investment approach, versus various benchmarks.<br />

[SEE SUPPLEMENTAL PDF]<br />

The chart below illustrates how this methodology performed during recent market cycles to capture the upside in positive<br />

markets while limiting the downside in the most recent down markets.<br />

Footnotes to Table and Chart<br />

(a)<br />

· The <strong>GAMCO</strong> Value composite represents fully discretionary, tax-exempt institutional accounts managed for at least one full quarter and meeting minimum account size<br />

requirements. The minimum size requirement for inclusion in 1985 was $500,000; 1986, $1 million; and 1987 and thereafter, $5 million. The performance calculations include<br />

accounts under management during the respective periods. As of 12/31/06, the <strong>GAMCO</strong> Value composite included 40 accounts with an aggregate market value of $4.1<br />

billion. No two portfolios are identical. Accounts not within this size and type may have experienced different results.<br />

· <strong>GAMCO</strong> Value performance results are computed on a total-return basis, which includes all dividends, interest, and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The summary of<br />

past performance is not intended as a prediction of future results. Returns are presented in U.S. dollars. The inception date of the <strong>GAMCO</strong> Value composite is <strong>10</strong>/1/77.<br />

· The compound annual growth rate from 1990 to present is net of actual fees and actual transaction costs. The compound annual growth rate before 1990 reflects the<br />

calculation of a model investment fee (1% compounded quarterly) and actual transaction costs.<br />

· <strong>GAMCO</strong> Total Return represents the total net return of the composite from <strong>10</strong>/1/77 through 12/31/06.<br />

· Beta is the measure of the <strong>GAMCO</strong> composite’s risk (volatility) in relation to the S&P 500 Index.<br />

(b)<br />

· The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index of 500 U.S. stocks and performance represents total return of the index including reinvestment of dividends. The Russell 2000 is an<br />

unmanaged index of 2000 small capitalization stocks and performance represents total return of the index including reinvestment of dividends. The performance figures for the<br />

Russell 2000 are based on an inception date of 1/1/79. The S&P 500 and Russell 2000 do not necessarily reflect how a managed portfolio of equity securities would have<br />

performed. The CPI is a widely-used measure of inflation, and the CPI+<strong>10</strong> measure is used to show the results that would have been achieved by obtaining a rate of return that<br />

exceeded the CPI by a constant <strong>10</strong>% as a basis of comparison versus the results of the <strong>GAMCO</strong> composite.<br />

· Up and down markets in the chart determined by the performance of the S&P 500 Index during the respective periods.<br />
