Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-----------------------------------------------------------
A. General Description of the Partnership
Alternative Asset Growth Fund, L.P. (the Partnership) is a
Delaware limited partnership which operates as a commodity
investment pool. The Partnership engages in the speculative
trading of futures and options on futures contracts and interbank
forward currency contracts.
B. Regulation
As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Partnership is subject to the regulatory requirements under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As a commodity investment pool, the Partnership is subject to the
regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency
of the United States (U.S.) government which regulates most
aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National
Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and
the requirements of commodity exchanges, Futures Commission
Merchants (brokers), and interbank market makers through which the
Partnership trades.
C. Method of Reporting
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, which require the use of certain estimates made by the
Partnership's management. Transactions are accounted for on the
trade date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are
liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the
difference between contract trade price and market price) are
reflected in the statement of financial condition as a net gain or
loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or
losses in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 39 - "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain
Contracts." Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the
preceding period is reported in the statement of operations.
For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of
redemption value, Net Asset Value per Unit is calculated by
dividing Net Asset Value by the total number of units outstanding.
D. Brokerage Commissions
Brokerage commissions include other trading fees and are charged
to expense when contracts are opened.
E. Income Taxes
The Partnership prepares calendar year U.S. and applicable state
information tax returns and reports to the partners their
allocable shares of the Partnership's income, expenses and trading
gains or losses.

effect at the date of the statement of financial condition.
Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in
effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the
translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently.

Note 7. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS
------------------------------------
The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign
futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward contracts
(collectively, "derivatives"). The Partnership is exposed to both
market risk, the risk arising from changes in the market value of the
contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to
perform according to the terms of a contract.
ALTERNATIVE ASSET GROWTH FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
-----------
Note 7. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS (CONTINUED)
------------------------------------------------
Purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts requires
margin deposits with the broker. Additional deposits may be necessary
for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a
broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such
broker's proprietary activities. A customer's cash and other property
(for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with a broker are
considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the
broker's segregation requirements. In the event of a broker's
insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated
funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be
less than total cash and other property deposited.
For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the
contracts. Theoretically, the Partnership is exposed to a market risk
equal to the notional contract value of futures and forward contracts
purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. As
both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership pays or receives a
premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes
in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options
expose the Partnership to potentially unlimited liability, and
purchased options expose the Partnership to a risk of loss limited to
the premiums paid.
The Partnership has a portion of its assets on deposit with a
financial institution in connection with its trading of forward
contracts and its cash management activities. In the event of a
financial institution's insolvency, recovery of Partnership assets on
deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection
afforded such deposits. Since these forward contracts are traded in
unregulated markets between principals, the Partnership also assumes
the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.
The General Partner has established procedures to actively monitor
market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no
assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. The General
Partner's basic market risk control procedures consist of continuously
monitoring the trading activity of the various commodity trading
advisors, with the actual market risk controls being applied by
Kenmar, as a consultant, and the advisors themselves. The General
Partner seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and
maintaining the Partnership's assets at financial institutions and
brokers which the General Partner believes to be creditworthy. The
Limited Partners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the
market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific
circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Management
believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial
statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could
differ from those estimates. The Partnership's significant accounting
policies are described in detail in Note 1 to the Financial
Statements.
The Partnership records all investments at fair value in its financial
statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of
realized and change in unrealized trading gain (loss) in the
Statements of Operations. Generally, fair values are based on market
prices; however, in certain circumstances, estimates are involved in
determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing
price (e.g., swap and forward contracts which are traded in the
inter-bank market).
A. LIQUIDITY: Substantially all of the Partnership's assets are
highly liquid, such as cash and open futures and forward contracts. It is
possible that extreme market conditions or daily price fluctuation
limits at certain exchanges could adversely affect the liquidity
of open futures and forward contracts. There are no restrictions on the
liquidity of these assets except for amounts on deposit with the
brokers needed to meet margin requirements on open futures and forward
contracts.
B. CAPITAL RESOURCES: Since the Partnership's business is the
purchase and sale of various commodity interests, it will make
few, if any, capital expenditures.
The Partnership's offering of Units of Limited Partnership
Interest terminated in 1991.
C. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: The Partnership's net income (loss) for
the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2004 and 2003 and 2002 totaled:

ThirdSecond Quarter 20032004
-------------------
The economic recovery continued in the second quarter of 2004, and
most economic news was positive, though there was a little slowdown
in June. The futures markets were again volatile, especially in
energy, interest rates and currencies.
The Partnership had a loss of 10.16% in April. The Partnership had
large losses in metals, interest rates, equities and foreign
currencies, as well as smaller losses in agriculture. The only
bright spot was energy, where there were some modest gains.
The Partnership had a loss of 2.06% in May. The Partnership had
gains in energy, foreign currencies and metals. There were losses in
agriculture, equities and interest rates. Campbell and Winton, our
main trend-followers were essentially flat in May.
The Partnership had a loss of 6.58% in June. The Partnership had
losses in nearly all sectors. Losses were especially large in foreign
currencies and energy.
Overall, the Partnership had a total return of (17.80)% for the
quarter and (8.90)% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. For the
second quarter 2004, the majority of the Partnership's gains were in
the energy sector and the largest loss was in interest rates.
First Quarter 2004

The economy continued to improve in the third quarter.first quarter of 2004, and
most economic news was positive. The equityfutures markets were mostly up. Most analysts expect the economycontinued to

Second Quarter 2003
-------------------
Futures were somewhat more stable in the second quarter as compared to
the first. The war with Iraq ended, and the stock markets began a
steady climb that lasted through the end of the quarter.
In April 2003, the Partnership had a loss of 0.09%. There were gains
in currencies, primarily because of the falling dollar. However,
these gains were mostly offset by losses in nearly all of the other
sectors.
In May 2003, the Partnership gained 4.80%. The Partnership had gains
in interest rates, especially bonds. There were also gains in
currencies, metals and stock indexes. There were some losses in
energy and certain agricultural commodities.
In June 2003, the Partnership had a loss of 5.28%. There were losses
in interest rates, especially bonds. There were also losses in
energy, metals and certain agricultural commodities. Most other
sectors were basically flat.
At the beginning of June 2003, notional funds were added back to
trading, as the leverage was increased back to 150%. This is about
the same level as before the notional funds were temporarily
eliminated several months ago.
The Partnership had a total return of (0.82)% for the quarter and
4.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. For the second
quarter 2003, the majority of the Partnership's trading gains were
in foreign currencies and the largest loss was in metals.
First Quarter 2003
------------------
The futures markets were quite volatile in the first quarter
of 2003. The looming war with Iraq caused energy prices to
skyrocket. Many other markets were choppy due to this
uncertainty. Consumer confidence dropped dramatically. The
traders were able to capitalize on the volatility in the markets.
In January 2003, the Partnership gained 6.01%. There were large
gains in foreign currencies and energy, with smaller gains in
interest rates, precious and base metals and stock indexes. There
were small losses in grains.
In February 2003, the Partnership gained 5.66%. There were large
gains in energy, with smaller gains in interest rates and
currencies. These were offset by losses in stock indexes and
metals. Most other sectors were basically flat.
In February 2003, the Partnership eliminated any notional funding
and traded at 100% of assets, rather than 150% of assets (with
notional funding). One advisor, Campbell & Company, also scaled
back their open positions. These changes were made due to the
uncertainty of the pending war with Iraq.
In March 2003, the Partnership lost 5.98%. There were large
losses in most sectors, especially energy, after oil prices
dropped. Some of the gains from the previous two months were
reversed in March.
Also in March 2003, Quay Capital Management had a change of
its top management, resulting in the departure of one of the
principals responsible for trading the account. As a result,
they were terminated as one of the Advisors in the Partnership.
No replacement Advisor was selected by month-end.
Overall, the Partnership had a total return of 5.31% for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. The majority of the Partnership's
trading gains were in energy and foreign currencies and the
largest loss was in stock index futures.
Third Quarter 2002
------------------
The futures markets continued to be volatile in the third quarter
of 2002. The equity markets suffered losses during the quarter,
which significantly impacted the commodities markets. The looming
threat of war with Iraq also had an impact on the markets,
especially oil and gas futures.
In July, the Partnership gained 8.13%. There were gains in
interest rates and stock indexes along with gains in certain
agricultural commodities. Those gains were partially offset
by losses in the energy complex and metals.
In August, the Partnership gained another 3.42%. Again, there
were gains in interest rate markets. There were also gains in
energy, precious metals, grains and livestock. There were losses
in foreign currencies, stock index futures, and base metals.
In September, the Partnership had another gain of 5.24%. There
were gains in interest rates along with additional gains in stock
indexes and energy. There were losses in precious metals.
The Partnership had a total return of 17.68% for the quarter and
15.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. For the
third quarter 2002, the majority of the Partnership's trading
gains were in interest rate futures and stock index futures and
the largest loss was in foreign currencies.
Second Quarter 2002
-------------------
The futures markets continued to be volatile in the second quarter
of 2002, though there was a surge at the end of the quarter. The
extreme volatility of the equity markets, mainly on the downside,
had a major impact on the commodities markets. Many of the US and
overseas stock indexes and foreign currencies were very active.
Some of this was the result of the corporate scandals that
continue to rock the markets.
In April, the Partnership lost 5.15%. Although there were gains
in Swiss Francs, natural gas, and Euros, they were more than
offset by losses in the German Stock Index, the Japanese Yen,
Euribor futures, the NASDAQ 100, and various bond futures.
In May, the Partnership was essentially flat, with a loss of .17%.
There were gains in foreign currencies due to the drop of the U.S.
dollar. There were also gains in precious metals and agricultural
commodities. The gains were offset by losses in the energy
complex, interest rates and some metals.
In June, the Partnership had a gain of 11.46%. There were gains
in Euro futures and the Swiss Franc, and also a gain in EuroDollar
futures. There were also gains in various stock and bond indexes.
There were losses in British Pounds, the Nikkei Stock Index, and
Gold, but these were more than offset by the gains.
The Partnership had a total return of 5.53% for the quarter and
(2.15)% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. For the second
quarter 2002, the majority of the Partnership's trading gains
were in foreign currencies and the largest loss was in the energy
markets.
First Quarter 2002
------------------
The futures markets remained choppy in the first quarter of 2002.
While the economy was showing some signs of improvement, there
were also some negative signs that caused uncertainty. The
troubles in the Middle East lead to large increases in oil and gas
prices. Gold prices also moved higher early in the quarter, but
gave back some of their gains at the end of the quarter.
In January 2002, the Partnership lost 5.00%. There were large
losses in stock indexes and agricultural commodities. Large
losses were also incurred in interest rates and metals. Many of
the other sectors were essentially flat.
In February 2002, the Partnership lost 6.74%. The Partnership
once again experienced losses in stock indexes and interest rates.
In addition, there were also losses in the energy complex and
foreign currencies. There were some gains in agricultural
commodities and precious metals. These however, were not enough
to offset the losses for the month.
In March 2002, the Partnership managed to gain 4.66%. There were
gains in the energy complex, including Brent Crude Oil and
Unleaded Gas. There were also some gains in bonds and stock
indexes. There were losses in currencies, including the Japanese
Yen and the Swiss Franc. There were also some small losses in
cotton and aluminum. These losses however were not enough to
offset the gains.
For the first quarter 2002, the Partnership's losses overall were
primarily due to currencies and stock index futures.
Market and Credit Risk
----------------------
The General Partner, directly and/or indirectly through its
consultant, has established procedures to actively monitor
market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no
assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. The
General Partner's basic market risk control procedures consist of
continuously monitoring the trading activity of the various
trading advisors, with the actual market risk controls being
applied by Kenmar, as a consultant, and the advisors themselves. The General Partner seeks
to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining
the Partnership's assets at financial institutions and brokers
which the General Partner believes to be creditworthy. The
Limited Partners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the
market value of their respective investments and, in certain
specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.
Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, the
Partnership's income or loss from operations may vary widely from
period to period. Management cannot predict whether the
Partnership's future Net Asset Value per Unit will increase or
experience a decline.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
D. POSSIBLE CHANGES: The General Partner reserves the right to
terminate certain and/or engage additional commodity trading
advisors in the future and reserves the right to change any of
the Partnership's clearing arrangements.
