FUTURES STRATEGIC TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1.

ORGANIZATION

General Description of the Trust

Futures Strategic Trust (the “Trust”) was organized under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on October 16, 1995 and commenced trading operations on May 1, 1996. The Trust will continue until December 31, 2015 unless terminated sooner as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust was formed to engage in the speculative trading of commodity futures, forward and options contracts. The Trustee of the Trust is Wilmington Trust Company.

On May 1, 1996, the Trust completed its initial offering from the sale of Limited Interests and General Interests. General Interests were sold exclusively to the Managing Owner. Additional Interests were offered and sold monthly at the then current net asset value per Interest until the continuous offering period expired on January 31, 1998.

Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (“Preferred” or the “Managing Owner”) is required to maintain at least a 1% interest in the Trust so long as it is acting as the Managing Owner.

Effective November 1, 2006, the Trust allocated its net assets to WMT III Series H/J Trading Vehicle LLC, (the “Trading Vehicle”) and received a Voting Membership Interest in the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle. The sole members of the Trading Vehicle were WMT III Series H, WMT III Series J and the Trust. The Trading Vehicle engaged in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward currency contracts. Effective April 30, 2007, the Trading Vehicle liquidated and terminated the Trading Advisor agreement with Bridgewater Associates Inc. (“Bridgewater”), the trading advisor of the Trading Vehicle. Prior to the Trading Vehicle’s liquidation, the Trust became a member of WCM Pool LLC (the “Company”) on April 1, 2007. Subject to its agreement with the Company, the Trust transferred its assets from the Trading Vehicle to the Company, effective April 1, 2007, and received a Voting Membership Interest in the Company. The Company was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle. At June 30, 2008, the sole members of the Company are the Trust, Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (“DFF”), Diversified Futures Trust I (“DFT I”) and Kenmar Global Trust (“KGT”). Preferred is the Managing Owner of DFF, DFT I and KGT and has been delegated administrative authority over the operations of the Company. The Company engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts. The financial statements of the Company, including the condensed schedule of investments, are included in Section II of these financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s financial statements.

ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

Regulation

As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trust is subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a commodity pool, the Trust is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), 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 the various commodity exchanges where the Trust executes transactions. Additionally, the Trust is subject to the requirements of the futures commission merchants (brokers) and interbank market makers through which the Trading Vehicle and the Company (collectively, the “Companies”) had traded and presently trade, respectively.

Note 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2008, the statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the statements of changes in trust capital for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited. In the opinion of the Managing Owner, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Trust as of June 30, 2008, and the results of its operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The financial statements of the Trust are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such principles require the Managing Owner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Trust indirectly earned income or loss through investments in the Company and the Trading Vehicle (see Note 2).

The weighted average number of Limited and General Interests outstanding was computed for purposes of disclosing net income per weighted average Limited and General Interest. The weighted average Limited and General Interests are equal to the number of Interests outstanding at period end, adjusted proportionately for Interests redeemed based on their respective time outstanding during such year.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Note 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basis of Accounting (Continued)

The Trust has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows – Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale.”

Consistent with standard business practices in the normal course of business, the Trust has provided general indemnifications to the Managing Owner, its Trading Advisor and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of the Trust. The Trust is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments that could potentially result from any hypothetical future claim, but expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that the Trust recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Trust has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense. Preferred as Managing Owner of the Trust evaluated the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Trust’s financial statements. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact on the Trust, as the Trust’s tax positions are based on established tax precedence for the tax treatment of investment partnerships as flow through tax entities.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS 157 requires use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (Level 2), and unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (Level 3). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

(Unaudited)

Note 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basis of Accounting (Continued)

The Trust adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. Based on an analysis by Preferred, the effect of applying SFAS 157 to the investments included in these financial statements did not result in a change to the fair value of the Trust’s investments. Approximately $0 or 0.00% of the Trust’s investments at June 30, 2008 are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 and $4,031,859 or 100.00% are classified as Level 3 using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157. Approximately $0 or 0.00% of the Trust’s investments at December 31, 2007 are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 and $4,196,579 or 100.00% are classified as Level 3 using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157:


June 30, 2008	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Investment in WCM Pool LLC, at fair value	$	0	$	0	$	4,031,859	$	4,031,859

December 31, 2007	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Investment in WCM Pool LLC, at fair value	$	0	$	0	$	4,196,579	$	4,196,579

A table presenting the changes in the Level 3 fair value category for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is provided in Note 5 of these financial statements. Of the $629,822 and $473,022 of gains for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, reported on Level 3 investments in Note 5, $75,344 and $(50,521), respectively, represent a change in unrealized allocated from the Companies on the Trust’s condensed statements of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of SFAS 115, or SFAS 159. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted.

The Trust adopted SFAS 159 during the first quarter of 2008, and it did not have a material effect on the Trust’s financial statements, as the Trust did not elect the fair value option for any eligible financial assets or liabilities.

Cash represents amounts deposited with a bank. The Trust receives interest at prevailing rates on all cash balances held by the bank, as well as its pro rata share of interest income from the Companies.

Income Taxes

The Trust is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As such, the Trust is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the individual interest holders. The Trust may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Investments in the Companies

The investments in the Companies are reported in the Trust’s statements of financial condition at the net asset value as reported by such entities. The Trust records its proportionate share of such entities’ income or loss in the statements of operations. Valuation of futures and forward contracts is discussed in the notes to the Company and the Trading Vehicle’s financial statements included in Sections II and III of this report. Through its investments in the Company and the Trading Vehicle, the Trust pays or paid its pro-rata share of the 2% and 3%, respectively, annual management fee (accrued and paid monthly) and a 20% incentive fee on New High Net Trading Profits (accrued monthly and paid quarterly) as defined in the advisory agreements.

Profit and Loss Allocation, Distributions, and Redemptions

The Trust allocates profits and losses for both financial and tax-reporting purposes to its Interest holders monthly on a pro rata basis based on each owner’s Interests outstanding during the month. Distributions (other than redemptions of Interests) may be made at the sole discretion of the Managing Owner on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective capital balances of the Interest holders. The Managing Owner has not made and does not presently intend to make any distributions in the future.

Redemptions are permitted as of the last day of each month, on at least 10 days prior written notice. Redemptions are at the then current net asset value per interest. Partial redemptions are permitted.

Foreign Currency Transaction

The Trust’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the statements of financial condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars 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 operations currently under the caption Realized in the statements of operations.

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Note 3.

FEES

General and Administrative Costs

Preferred pays all administrative costs for services it performs for the Trust. These costs include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Note 4 below.

Note 5.

INVESTMENTS IN THE COMPANIES

From November 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007, the Trust invested its assets in the Trading Vehicle. The investment in the Trading Vehicle was subject to the Organization Agreement of the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle entered into an advisory agreement with Bridgewater to make the trading decisions for the Trading Vehicle. Bridgewater managed approximately 100% of the assets of the Trading Vehicle pursuant to the Aggressive Pure Alpha Futures Only – A, No Benchmark program. On April 30, 2007, the Managing Owner terminated the Trading Advisor agreement with Bridgewater.

Effective April 1, 2007, the Trust withdrew its assets from the Trading Vehicle and invested them in the Company. The Trust’s investment in the Company represents approximately 19.47% and 20.83% of the net asset value of the Company at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The investment in the Company is subject to the Organization Agreement of the Company. The Company entered into an advisory agreement with Winton Capital Management (“Winton”) whereby Winton makes the trading decisions for the Company and, in turn, the Trust, pursuant to Winton’s Diversified Program.

The Trust bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of its investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

The Trust has cash on deposit with financial institutions. In the event of a financial institution’s insolvency, recovery of cash on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits. The Managing Owner 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 interestholders 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.

The Trust’s futures commission merchant in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by CFTC regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the Trust all assets of the Trust relating to domestic futures trading and is not to commingle such assets with its other assets. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, such segregated assets totaled $0 and $1,012, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires the futures commission merchant to secure assets of the Trust related to foreign futures trading which totaled $0 and $0 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

ORGANIZATION

General Description of the Company

WCM Pool LLC (the “Company”) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware on November 20, 2006 and commenced operations on January 1, 2007. The Company will terminate on December 31, 2056 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Organization Agreement. The Company was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward currency contracts and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions. Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (“Preferred” or “Managing Member”) is the Managing Member of the Company. The Company currently consists of four members: Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (“Member DFF LP”), Diversified Futures Trust I (“Member DFT I”), Futures Strategic Trust (“Member FST”) and Kenmar Global Trust (“Member KGT”) (collectively, the “Members”). Member DFFLP, Member DFT I and Member KGT contributed their net assets to the Company effective January 1, 2007, while Member FST invested in the Company on April 1, 2007. Preferred is also the Managing Owner or General Partner of each of the Members. Upon making the initial capital contribution, each Member received Voting Membership Interests.

The Company is a member managed limited liability company that is not registered in any capacity with, or subject directly to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Trading Advisor

The Company entered into an advisory agreement with Winton Capital Management Limited (the “Trading Advisor”) to make the trading decisions for the Company. The Trading Advisor manages approximately 100% of the assets of the Company pursuant to its Diversified Program Portfolio.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The statement of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2008, and the statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the statements of changes in members’ capital (net asset value) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited. In the opinion of Preferred, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, which were of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of June 30, 2008, and the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The operating results for these interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Member FST’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2007.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basis of Accounting (Continued)

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the Managing Member to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Commodity futures and foreign exchange transactions are reflected in the accompanying statements of financial condition on the trade date. Net unrealized gain or loss on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) is reflected in the financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 39 – “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts.” The market value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is based upon the closing quotation on the various futures exchanges on which the contract is traded. The values which will be used by the Company for open forward positions will be provided by its administrator, who obtains market quotes from data vendors and third parties. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss during the current period is reported in the statements of operations. Realized gains and losses on transactions are recognized in the period in which the contracts are closed. Brokerage commissions include other trading fees and are charged to expense when incurred.

The Company has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows – Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale.”

Consistent with standard business practices in the normal course of business, the Company has provided general indemnifications to its Trading Advisor and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of the Company. The Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments that could potentially result from any hypothetical future claim, but expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense. Preferred, as Managing Member of the Company, evaluated the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company’s financial statements. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact on the Company, as the Company’s tax positions are based on established tax precedence for the tax treatment of investment partnerships as flow through tax entities.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basis of Accounting (Continued)

The Company adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. Preferred, as Managing Member of the Company, evaluated the impact adoption of SFAS 157 did have on the Company’s financial statements. Based on an analysis by Preferred, the effect of applying SFAS 157 to the investment portfolio included in these financial statements will not result in a change to the fair value of the Company’s investments. Of its net unrealized gain, approximately $850,734 or 100.00% of the Company’s investments at June 30, 2008 are classified as Level 1 and $0 or 0.00% as Level 2 or Level 3 using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157. Of its net unrealized gain, approximately $434,983 or 100.00% of the Company’s investments at December 31, 2007 are classified as Level 1 and $0 or 0.00% as Level 2 or Level 3 using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157:


June 30, 2008	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Net unrealized gain on open contracts	$	850,734	$	0	$	0	$	850,734

December 31, 2007	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Net unrealized gain on open contracts	$	434,983	$	0	$	0	$	434,983

The Company adopted SFAS 159 during the first quarter of 2008, and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, as the Company did not elect the fair value option for any eligible financial assets or liabilities.

Cash represents amounts deposited with a bank and clearing broker, a portion of which is restricted for purposes of meeting margin requirements, which typically range from 0% to 35% of the notional amounts of the derivatives traded. The Company receives interest at prevailing interest rates on all cash balances held by the clearing broker and bank.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the Members. The Company may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

Capital Accounts

The Company accounts for subscriptions, allocations and redemptions on a per member capital account basis.

The Company allocates profits and losses, prior to calculation of the incentive fee, for both financial and tax reporting purposes to its Members monthly on a pro rata basis based on each Member’s pro rata capital in the Company during the month. Each Member is then charged with the applicable incentive fee. Distributions (other than redemptions of capital) may be made at the sole discretion of the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Members’ respective capital balances. The Company has not and does not presently intend to make any distributions.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the statements of financial condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars 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 operations currently under the caption Realized in the statements of operations.

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Note 3.

FEES

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses of the Company are paid for by the Company.

Management and Incentive Fees

The Company accrues and pays the Trading Advisor a management fee at an annual rate of 2% of the Company’s Net Assets determined as of the close of business each month. For purposes of determining the management fee, any distributions, redemptions or reallocation of assets made as of the last day of the month shall be added back to the assets and there shall be no reduction for (i) the management fees calculated or (ii) any accrued but unpaid incentive fees due the Trading Advisor.

Additionally, the Company accrues monthly and pays the Trading Advisor a quarterly incentive fee of 20% (the “Incentive Fee”) of “New High Net Trading Profits” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Trading Advisor earned incentive fees of $730,712 and $238,634, respectively, of which $237,702 remains payable at June 30, 2008.

INCOME TAXES

There have been no differences between the tax basis and book basis of assets, liabilities or members’ capital since inception of the Company.

Note 5.

DEPOSITS WITH COMMODITY BROKER

The Company deposits funds with a commodity broker subject to CFTC regulations and various exchange and commodity broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such commodity broker. The Company earns interest income on assets deposited with the commodity broker.

Note 6.

SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS

Investments in the Company are made subject to the terms of the Organization Agreement.

The Company is not required to make distributions, but could do so at the discretion of the Members. A Member can request and receive redemption of capital, subject to the terms in the Organization Agreement.

Note 7.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

The Company has cash on deposit with financial institutions. In the event of a financial institution’s insolvency, recovery of cash on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.

The Company is exposed to various types of risks associated with the derivative instruments and related markets in which it invests. These risks include, but are not limited to, risk of loss from fluctuations in the value of derivative instruments held (market risk) and the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the Company’s investment activities (credit risk).

Market Risk

Trading in futures and forward contracts (including foreign exchange) involves entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a particular commodity at a specified date and price. The gross or face amount of the contracts, which is typically many times that of the Company’s net assets being traded, significantly exceeds the Company’s future cash requirements since the Company intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, the Company is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such, the Company considers the “fair value” of its derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. The market risk associated with the Company’s commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross or face amount of the contract held. However, when the Company enters into a contractual commitment to sell commodities, it must make delivery of the underlying commodity at the contract price and then repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase price to which a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities exposes the Company to unlimited risk.

Market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including government programs and policies, political and economic events, the level and volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, the diversification effect among the derivative instruments the Company holds and the liquidity and inherent volatility of the markets in which the Company trades.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

Credit Risk

When entering into futures or forward contracts, the Company is exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations. The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and most foreign futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with the particular exchange. In general, a clearinghouse is backed by its corporate members who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. On the other hand, there is concentration risk on forward transactions entered into by the Company, as the Company’s forward broker is the sole counterparty. The Company has entered into a master netting agreement with its forward broker and, as a result, when applicable, presents unrealized gains and losses on open forward positions as a net amount in the statements of financial condition. The amount at risk associated with counterparty non-performance of all of the Company’s contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statement of financial condition; however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of the Company’s contracts may result in greater loss than non-performance on all of the Company’s contracts. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the Company.

Preferred attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring the Company and its Trading Advisor to abide by various trading limitations and policies. Preferred monitors compliance with these trading limitations and policies, which include, but are not limited to, executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties; limiting the amount of margin or premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions. Additionally, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement among the Company, Preferred and the Trading Advisor, the Company shall automatically terminate the Trading Agreement, if the net asset value allocated to the Trading Advisor declines by 40% from the value at the beginning of any year or since the effective date of the Advisory Agreement. The decline in net asset value is after giving effect for distributions, subscriptions and redemptions.

The Company’s futures commission merchant, in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by CFTC regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the Company all assets of the Company relating to domestic futures trading and is not allowed to commingle such assets with its other assets. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, such segregated assets totaled $16,862,096 and $17,941,562, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires the Company’s futures commission merchant to secure assets of the Company related to foreign futures trading which totaled $321,843 and $48,961 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

As of June 30, 2008, all open futures contracts mature within eighteen months.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) for the quarter ending June 30, 2008 (“Second Quarter 2008”) includes forward-looking statements that reflect the current expectations of Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (“Preferred” or the “Managing Owner”), the managing owner of Futures Strategic Trust (“Registrant”), about the future results, performance, prospects and opportunities of Registrant. The Managing Owner has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “should,” “estimate” or the negative of those terms or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Managing Owner and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, both known, such as those described in this Report, and unknown, that could cause Registrant’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the Federal securities laws, the Managing Owner undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or the risks, uncertainties or other factors described in this Report, as a result of new information, future events or changed circumstances or for any other reason after the date of this Report.

Introduction

General

Registrant was organized under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on October 16, 1995 and commenced trading operations on May 1, 1996. Registrant will terminate on December 31, 2015 unless terminated sooner as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). Registrant was formed to engage in the speculative trading of commodity futures, forward and options contracts. The trustee of Registrant is Wilmington Trust Company.

Registrant is engaged solely in the business of commodity futures, forward and options trading; therefore, presentation of industry segment information is not applicable.

Effective November 1, 2006, Registrant allocated its net assets to WMT III Series H/J Trading Vehicle LLC (the “H/J Trading Vehicle”) and received a voting membership interest in the H/J Trading Vehicle. The H/J Trading Vehicle was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle for its members. The sole members of the H/J Trading Vehicle were the Registrant, World Monitor Trust III – Series H (“Series H”) and World Monitor Trust III – Series J (“Series J”). Preferred is the managing owner of Series H and Series J and had been delegated administrative authority over the operations of the H/J Trading Vehicle. The H/J Trading Vehicle engaged in the speculative trading of futures and forwards contracts. The H/J Trading Vehicle entered into an advisory agreement (the “H/J Trading Vehicle Advisory Agreement”) with Bridgewater Associates, Inc. (“Bridgewater”) to make the trading decisions for the H/J Trading Vehicle. Bridgewater traded 100% of the assets of the H/J Trading Vehicle pursuant to Bridgewater’s Aggressive Pure Alpha Futures Only – A No Benchmark program, which was a fundamental, systematic, global macro program. All references herein to Registrant’s relationship with Bridgewater shall, unless the context states otherwise, refer to Registrant’s relationship with Bridgewater through Registrant’s investment in the H/J Trading Vehicle.

Effective April 1, 2007, Registrant withdrew as a member of the H/J Trading Vehicle and contributed its net assets to WCM Pool LLC (“WCM Pool”), a Delaware limited liability company, and received a voting membership interest in WCM Pool. (The H/J Trading Vehicle subsequently liquidated and terminated the H/J Trading Vehicle Advisory Agreement on April 30, 2007). WCM Pool was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle for its members. Registrant, Diversified Futures Fund, L.P., Diversified Futures Trust I, and Kenmar Global Trust are the sole members of WCM Pool. Preferred has been delegated administrative authority over the operations of WCM Pool. WCM Pool engages in the speculative trading of futures and forwards contracts. The financial statements of WCM Pool, including the condensed schedule of investments, are included in Section II of Registrant’s financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with Registrant’s financial statements.

The term “Trading Vehicle”, as used herein, refers either to the H/J Trading Vehicle or the WCM Pool, depending upon the applicable period discussed. The term “Trading Advisor”, as used herein, refers either to Bridgewater or,

Winton Capital Management Limited (“Winton”) depending upon the applicable period discussed. The term “Trading Advisory Agreement”, as used herein, refers either to the H/J Trading Vehicle Advisory Agreement or the WCM Pool Advisory Agreement, depending upon the applicable period discussed.

WCM Pool has entered into an advisory agreement (the “WCM Pool Advisory Agreement”) with Winton whereby Winton will make the trading decisions for the WCM Pool and, in turn, Registrant, pursuant to Winton’s Diversified Program. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for various reasons, including at the discretion of the Trading Vehicle. Registrant has allocated 100% of the proceeds from the initial and continuous offering of Registrant to the Trading Advisor. Registrant, through its investment in the Trading Vehicle, pays a monthly management fee equal to 0.16667% (2% annually) of the assets allocated to the Trading Advisor. Registrant, through its investment in the Trading Vehicle, pays the Trading Advisor an incentive fee of 20% of New High Net Trading Profits (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) generated by the Trading Vehicle. Incentive fees will accrue monthly and be paid quarterly in arrears.

Managing Owner and its Affiliates

Preferred has been the managing owner of Registrant since October 1, 2004. The term “Managing Owner”, as used herein, refers to Preferred.

The Managing Owner and/or its affiliates have agreed to purchase and maintain an interest in Registrant in an amount not less than 1% of Registrant’s net asset value.

Competition

The Managing Owner and its affiliates have formed, and may continue to form, various entities to engage in the speculative trading of futures, forward and options contracts which have certain of the same investment policies as Registrant.

Registrant does not currently, and does not intend in the future to, solicit the sale of additional Interests. As such, Registrant does not compete with other entities to attract new fund participants. However, to the extent that the Trading Advisors recommend similar or identical trades to Registrant and other accounts that they manage, Registrant may compete with those accounts, as well as other market participants, for the execution of the same or similar trades.

Employees

Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for Registrant are performed by the Managing Owner or third parties pursuant to the Trust Agreement, as further discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to Registrant’s financial statements included in its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2007 (“Registrant’s 2007 Annual Report”), which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance. Applying these policies requires the Managing Owner to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of Registrant’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from the estimates used.

The Managing Owner has evaluated Registrant’s financial statements and related disclosures and has determined that the policies discussed below are critical accounting policies because they involve estimates, judgments and assumptions that are particularly complex, subjective or uncertain. For further discussion of Registrant’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

The valuation of Registrant’s investments that are not traded on a United States (“US”) or internationally recognized futures exchange is a critical accounting policy. The market values of futures (exchange traded) contracts is verified

by Registrant’s administrator, which obtains valuation data from third party data providers such as Bloomberg and Reuters and compares those prices with Registrant’s clearing broker. The market value of currency swap and forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 4 PM on the last business day of the reporting period. All values assigned by the administrator and confirmed by the Managing Owner are final and conclusive as to all of Registrant’s Unitholders.

As such, if actual results vary from estimates used, they are not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.

Registrant records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of Trading Profits (Losses) in the Statements of Operations. Generally, fair values are based on quoted market prices; however, in certain circumstances, significant judgments and estimates are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that Registrant recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, Registrant has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense. The Managing Owner evaluated the impact of adopting FIN 48 on Registrant’s financial statements. In the Managing Owner’s opinion, the adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact on Registrant, as Registrant’s tax positions are based on established tax precedence for the tax treatment of investment partnerships as flow through tax entities.

Registrant adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The Managing Owner evaluated the impact that adoption of SFAS 157 will have on Registrant’s financial statements. Based on an analysis by the Managing Owner, the effect of applying SFAS 157 to the investments included in Registrant’s financial statements will not result in a change to the fair value of Registrant’s investments. Approximately $0 or 0.00% of Registrant’s investments at June 30, 2008 are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 and $4,031,859 or 100.00% are classified as Level 3 using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157. Approximately $0 or 0.00% of Registrant’s investments at December 31, 2007 are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 and $4,196,579 or 100.00% are classified as Level 3 using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157. A table presenting the changes in the Level 3 fair value category for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is provided in Note 5 of the Registrant’s financial statements. Of the $629,822 and $473,022 of gains for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, reported on Level 3 investments in Note 5, $75,344 and $(50,521), respectively, represent a change in unrealized allocated from the Trading Vehicles on the Registrant’s condensed statements of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of SFAS 115. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Registrant adopted SFAS 159 during the first quarter of 2008, and it did not have a material effect on the Registrant’s financial statements, as the Registrant did not elect the fair value option for any eligible financial assets or liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant commenced operations on May 1, 1996. Additional contributions were raised through the continuous offering of limited interests (“Limited Interests”) and general interests (“General Interests” and, together with the Limited Interests, “Interests”) of beneficial ownership in Registrant through January 31, 1998. The continuous offering period expired on January 31, 1998.

For Second Quarter 2008, the period January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008 (“Year-To-Date 2008”), the period April 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 (“Second Quarter 2007”) and the period January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 (“Year-To-Date 2007”) there were no subscriptions of Limited Interests or General Interests.

Interests in Registrant may be redeemed on a monthly basis. Redemptions of Limited Interests for Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were $578,122 and $629,302, respectively. Redemptions of Limited Interests for Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 were $481,502 and $819,829, respectively.

Redemptions of General Interests for Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were $5,619 and $6,850, respectively. Redemptions of General Interests for Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 were $5,512 and $6,680, respectively.

Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.

At June 30, 2008, 99.39% of Registrant’s net assets were allocated to commodities trading through its investment in the Trading Vehicle. A significant portion of Registrant’s net assets invested in the Trading Vehicle was held in cash, which was used as margin for trading in commodities. In as much as the sole business of Registrant is to trade in commodities (through its investment in the Trading Vehicle), Registrant continues to own such liquid assets to be used as margin. The clearing broker and bank credit Registrant (either directly or through the Trading Vehicle) with interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in its accounts with the clearing broker and bank during each month at competitive interest rates.

The commodities contracts may be subject to periods of illiquidity because of market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example, commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily limits.” During a single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market conditions could prevent the Trading Vehicle (and, in turn, Registrant) from promptly liquidating its commodity futures positions.

Since Registrant’s business is to trade futures and forward contracts (through its investment in the Trading Vehicle), its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk). Registrant’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors including the volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded and the relationships among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of Registrant’s speculative trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could result in losses considerably beyond Registrant’s experience to date and could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially all of investors’ capital. The Managing Owner attempts to minimize these risks by requiring Registrant, the Trading Vehicles and Trading Advisors to abide by various trading limitations and policies, which include limiting margin amounts, trading only in liquid markets and permitting the use of stop loss provisions. See Note 6 to the financial statements for a further discussion on the credit and market risks associated with Registrant’s futures and forward contracts.

Registrant does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.

Market Overview

Following is a market overview for Second Quarter 2008, Second Quarter 2007 and Second Quarter 2006:

Second Quarter 2008

While the US may not be in the “official” definition of recession, the tone of the economy was clearly recessionary like in the second quarter 2008, to an even greater degree than in the first quarter. Liquidity problems persisted and concern surrounding the viability of a number of financial institutions pervaded the atmosphere even after the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) bailout of Bear Stearns & Co. Inc in mid March. Inflation jitters appeared to increase throughout the quarter as crude oil surged over $140 per barrel (“pb”) and food costs increased significantly.

The spread between 10-year treasury notes and inflation-indexed securities, which measures the expected rate of inflation, steadily increased to over 2.5% at the end of June from roughly 2.3% in March. On a slightly positive note, the overall condition and liquidity within the credit markets appeared to improve at least marginally. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FMOC”) appeared to end its rate cut cycle at its June meeting. However, at this point the FMOC does not appear ready to initiate imminent rate increases as reflected in the statement from the June meeting, where the Fed displayed a clear concern for inflationary pressures but at the same time warned of a weakening economy and existing threats to global liquidity. Treasury yields moved steadily higher for much of the quarter before falling back slightly during the final half of June.

The employment picture worsened dramatically as the quarter developed, including an approximate 62,000 decline in June non-farm payroll as the unemployment rate rose to 5.5% versus 5.1% from the first quarter. In addition, weekly unemployment claims surged at the end of June. As for housing, it remains in a highly depressed state with no indication of a bottom in 2008. Manufacturing was mostly challenged with regional data from the New York, Chicago and Philly Fed showing weakness throughout the quarter. On the inflation front, both the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index rose during the quarter. The core measures of these indices were slightly more controlled but the energy component stoked inflationary fears. The first quarter Gross Domestic Product was revised up to 1.0% from 0.9% and the second quarter appeared to be tracking between 0.5% and 1.2% at the close of the period.

Currencies:The US dollar remained under pressure during much of June but towards the close of the quarter the dollar displayed some modest strength as both the Treasury and the Fed aggressively nudged a strong dollar policy. There were hints of intervention but none has been forthcoming. Overall for the quarter the euro was still up, closing the quarter over $1.58. The British pound rose to $1.99 as both the euro and pound appear to have put in tops. The Bank of Japan seems to be in a steady holding pattern. The People’s Bank of China extended its long running tight monetary policy and the dollar saw further gains to the yuan in June, extending its streak to twelve consecutive quarters of gains to the yuan. The Canadian dollar rose slightly in the second quarter while the Australian dollar was near a twenty-five year high. Meanwhile, the New Zealand dollar was down for the quarter, taking it to a slight year to date loss.

Energies:It was yet another record quarter for the energy sector. Front month crude hit a record high trading level on June 30 over $143 pb and ended the quarter up over 37%. The de-leveraging pressure noted in the first quarter was noticeably absent in the second quarter, while geopolitical concerns surrounding Nigeria, Israel/Iran and Venezuela persisted. However, supply/demand fundamentals held strong and Congress has not yet engaged in any meaningful legislation to curb speculation. China lifted some subsidies on petroleum in an effort to curb consumption. Reformulated gasoline rose despite clear evidence of at least modest demand destruction in the US. Gasoline futures have risen over 30% for the year to date within the Dow Jones AIG Index. Heating oil advanced to end the period and has surged over 50% year to date. Refining margins remain lean, lessening incentive to produce. The price of domestic natural gas surged from the first quarter and has rallied over 70% for the year. The Department of Energy’s natural gas supplies are down from last year and are below the five year average.

Agriculturals:Through the April and May planting period, the corn market traded within a modest range. Excessive precipitation across the central corn and bean belt resulted in planting delays, which in turn allowed prices to rally to a new, all time record high. For the entire second quarter, soybean prices moved higher in opposition to the Chicago Board of Trade Open Interest report. Prices closed the quarter approximately 50% higher while open interest fell. Global soybean demand remains practically insatiable, especially from the Peoples Republic of China. Wheat prices continued to return rocketing gains, a result of rampant corn prices and questionable crop prospects. In addition, the break in the record-setting Australian drought is as responsible as any single event in easing the global concerns of a feed grain shortage. Cotton prices gyrated wildly throughout the second quarter, while moving in a generally lower direction.

Indices:It was a difficult quarter for equities across the globe and the US was certainly no exception as it extended first quarter losses. Many of the same factors that weighed on sentiment in the first quarter were operative again in the second quarter. Financials were particularly weak as credit/liquidity concerns pervaded the atmosphere. Surging petroleum prices were an almost daily drag. The technology sector outperformed most other sectors and airlines and other energy sensitive area were challenged. This resulted in a second quarter loss of over 7% for the Dow Jones Industrial Index, taking the losses to over 14% year to date. The S&P 500 fell approximately 3% during the quarter as is down over 13% for the year. The NASDAQ fell just under 1% during the three months.

European equities had their worst quarterly performance in six years during the first quarter and the second quarter was another debacle. A hawkish European Central Bank (“ECB”) and mostly lackluster economic data from Germany, France, Italy and the UK kept prices on the defensive. In addition, the credit crunch and liquidity concerns were even more apparent during the second quarter with little sign of improvement. The German DAX lost over 2% to end the quarter following a 19% slide from the first quarter. The French CAC fell more than 6% after losing nearly 16% in the first quarter. London’s FTSE continued to struggle in the second quarter and posted an approximate 2% loss following the over 11% loss from the first quarter. Weakness in financials was particularly negative for the UK market. The Bank of England was not nearly as hawkish as the ECB and many market participants are looking for a rate cut later in the year.

Volatility continued to dominate the Asian equity markets during the period. Lackluster economic data within Japan and Asia in general weighed on sentiment and the weakness in US markets also served as a drag. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index fell over 3% and in South Korea the Kospi Index slumped over 6%, with particular weakness in the end of the quarter. The New Zealand All Ordinaries Index experienced losses of almost 12% for quarter.

Metals:Geopolitical factors, concerns surrounding the global financial system, inflation fears and plunging global equities enticed demand for gold and metals in general. Gold saw a mixed picture during April and May but rebounded to gain approximately 4% in June, resulting in a slight overall gain for the quarter. As usual, silver followed suit on its parasitic role and ended the quarter with overall positive performance. Platinum prices increased as well and closed the quarter with a year-to-date gain above 35%.

With growing evidence of global economic malaise, base metals turned in mixed performance for the quarter. Global exchange warehouse inventories remain low for copper but the metal ended with positive quarterly performance. Aluminum finished June with strong performance for the quarter; however, zinc, nickel, lead and tin had overall negative performance for the period.

Softs and Livestock:Sugar advanced during the quarter with better than a 16% overall gain in June. Soaring input costs and years of low prices have led to lower production and some analysts are forecasting even lower production in 2009. The weak dollar was supportive of sugar, as well as other softs, throughout most of the quarter. Cocoa prices roared, closing up over 35%. Poor quality crops in much of West Africa, including the Ivory Coast, have helped support the rally. In addition, political tensions growing once again in the Ivory Coast, which produces about 40% of the world’s cocoa, are threatening to thwart production. Coffee posted solid gains during the quarter as well.

After lagging badly in the first quarter, live cattle prices joined the commodity train with an approximate 15% surge in the second quarter. Improved demand, shrinking supplies and high corn prices, which curbed herd size, were all attributable to the overall positive performance. Live hog prices capped the quarter with improved prices but are still down over 16% year to date within the Dow Jones AIG Index.

Second Quarter 2007

In the US, generally tame inflation readings in the second quarter appeared to lessen the pressure on the US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and the most recent Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) statement pointed to relatively balanced risks. The Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, former chairman Alan Greenspan and others have issued statements that the subprime situation, while clearly a concern, should not prove to be a major contagion.

Inflation news was encouraging, with Core Consumer Prices rising well within the Fed’s comfort zone. The headline Producer Price Index’s (“PPI”) rise was slightly worrisome, but the more-closely-watched Core PPI’s rise was more benign. Industrial Production was flat overall while Capacity Utilization dipped slightly. Retail sales jumped in May, with the largest gain in sixteen months. Gasoline, auto supplies, building supplies and clothing led the charge as consumers still appeared mostly undaunted. Leading indicators increased slightly in May, suggesting the economy is weathering the housing and gasoline price storm. On the manufacturing side, the Philly Fed Index saw its highest reading in two years.

Overall, the employment picture in the second quarter continued to look quite healthy. Nonfarm payrolls rose in May while the unemployment rate is forecast to remain unchanged. Average hourly earnings rose slightly.

Housing persists as the US economy’s primary risk. During the second quarter, signs of slight improvements seen in May were absent in June. For the first five months of the year, both housing permits and housing starts were off

more than 25%. The South, considered the engine of growth for the housing sector, provided the weakest performance during the second quarter. The Home Builders Confidence Index fell to a sixteen-year low in June. Existing home sales also fell slightly and existing home inventories rose. Prices in the ten largest US cities are declining at the fastest pace in sixteen years.

Predictions for third quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), a measure of economic growth, are seen higher. The International Monetary Fund issued a report stating that the US economy remained close to the 2% annualized GDP “stall speed.” However, while the inflation picture might dictate against a Fed rate cut, this economic growth scenario is seen by many to counter a rate hike.

Foreign interest rate yields have been rising across the board. The European Union (“EU”), Great Britain, Switzerland and New Zealand all raised rates in the second quarter. The Reserve Bank of Australia remained unchanged, but its statements were seen as hawkish. Many market participants view the Bank of Japan to remain on hold after its recent first quarter increase.

Currencies:The US dollar saw a record low against the euro during the second quarter. Rising European interest rates encouraged demand for the euro. EU economic data for the most part continue to indicate solid growth and a modest inflation threat. Central bank diversification into the euro was also a positive factor. The British pound sterling also rose against the dollar during the quarter. Inflation concerns, capacity constraints and elevated housing prices have led the Bank of England to maintain a hawkish tone, including a second quarter rate hike and expectations of more to come during the third quarter. The country’s new prime minister, Gordon Brown, was quickly tested by a series of terror attacks, but the pound showed little reaction.

During the quarter, the Japanese yen was pressured by the US dollar and also on a carry trade basis against the Australian and New Zealand dollars. Japanese economic data has been moderate, with little hint of inflation. The Peoples Bank of China continues to drain liquidity and increase interest rates gradually. It has made mild concessions to the US, but is moving slowly regarding reform. The Chinese yuan had its strongest quarter since the dollar link was eliminated in 2005. The Australian dollar continues to be firm, and recent upward GDP revisions have rekindled inflation fears. New Zealand raised rates to 8.00% in May, citing consumer inflation. The Canadian dollar reached a thirty-year high against the US Dollar in the second quarter.

Energies:After trading between $60 and $65 for much of the second quarter, crude broke out to the upside in June, topping $70 for the first time in nine months. Concerns surrounding product availability, refinery utilization, geopolitical factors including Venezuelan nationalization, Nigerian unrest, Iran’s nuclear program and Hamas aggression, along with a terror threat in the UK, all served to push prices higher. In addition, refinery utilization at the end of June stood well under the seasonal norm.

Heating oil mirrored crude’s June breakout and ended the quarter over 5% higher. Distillate inventories are now substantially below last season’s levels. A series of refinery outages that have been slow to get back on line have placed supplies at dangerously low levels, particularly with the peak hurricane season not yet reached. Distillate fuel demand is up almost 4% from 2006 levels. Reformulated gasoline prices rose over 10% during the quarter overall and prices at the pump peaked in late May. Consumer resistance seemed limited during the second quarter.

Trading patterns were volatile and natural gas prices fell over 16% during the second quarter as supply built and the weather held extremely benign.

Grains:Corn prices were extremely volatile during the quarter. The June USDA Supply and Demand Report caused prices to increase, only to drop on the heels of a bullish Planted Acreage Report, which inferred that more acres of corn would be planted in the season ahead than in any other period since the mid 1940’s, when the US attempted to feed post-war Europe. Wheat prices reached their highest prices in more than a decade during the last trading session of the second quarter. This strength came as a result of a continually tightening global demand, which has been exacerbated by the worst drought seen in Australia in more than 100 years. The USDA Planted Acreage Report showed that as a result of higher prices, more than a 5% increase in wheat had been sown this season, consistent with the Intentions Report. From the Intentions Report, and the data gleaned from the estimates of other crops, it is apparent that corn acreage was increased at the expense of beans and cotton and that wheat plantings were consistent. Soybean prices were volatile during the quarter, rocked by the Planted Acreage Report that revealed that soybean acreage had been reduced by approximately 15%. Cotton prices climbed steadily during the quarter due to a tightening supply/demand scenario. The Report also revealed that cotton acreage would be cut by 27% from the previous season.

Indices:US stocks ended the quarter higher overall, but off their highs late reached during the quarter. Strength in foreign equities, hectic M&A activity, forecast earnings and solid global growth lent support. The recent spike to 5.32% in the benchmark 10-Year note could prove to be a high for an extended period and many market participants feel that the latest FOMC minutes suggest that the Fed will remain on hold for an extended period. The summer season is upon the market, M&A activity appears to have slowed somewhat and the markets continue to watch the subprime sector with caution.

In Europe, it was a good quarter for the three largest indices, the German DAX, French CAC and UK FTSE, and for the region in general. All three major industries scored seven-year highs during the second quarter while closing somewhat below those levels. Even the specter of higher interest rates from the European Central Bank and the Bank of England failed to meaningfully diminish enthusiasm, but the weaker US markets and the terror issue in the UK did weigh on market psychology during the final days of June as the euro bourses turned in a mixed June performance.

Asian equity indices also scored second quarter gains and, like Europe, attracted significant foreign capital flows. The Shanghai market was particularly volatile during the quarter but had a clear upside bias as it ended June. Japan was aided by decent economic data as well as low inflation and the prospect of no imminent rate hike from the Bank of Japan. The Hang Seng finished higher and the Australian All Ordinaries were able to withstand hawkish comments from the Reserve Bank of Australia and soar to record levels.

Interest Rates:June proved a volatile month for US treasuries, on the back of substantial risk aversion mentality. They became the asset of choice as subprime issues, including the Bear Stearns/Merrill Lynch situation took center stage. However, generally tame inflation readings appeared to lessen pressure on the Fed and the most recent FOMC statement pointed to relatively balanced risks.

Sharply higher foreign rates were a factor in rising yields, but that lessened to some degree in the final weeks of the quarter. The EU, UK and Switzerland all hiked rates in the second quarter. The Reserve Bank of Australia sounded hawkish as the quarter ended. The Bank of Japan remained unchanged, after raising rates in the first quarter. Yields on the 10-year German Bund hit a new high during the quarter.

Metals:Volatile copper prices closed well over their first quarter close. A series of labor problems in Chile, Peru, Mexico and Canada were particularly supportive in the final half of June. LME spreads remain in backwardation, indicating supply tightness. Refined consumption continues to grow faster than production. Aluminum prices were quiet during the quarter. In contrast, nickel prices were quite volatile, plunging over 20% in June alone, after being one of the top performers of the Dow Jones/AIG Index. Warehouse stocks are still low, but they have been steadily rising and stainless steel demand has decreased somewhat. Zinc prices continue to fall, down over 20% for the year to date, despite overall strong global demand. Lead prices were higher in the second quarter on tight inventories and strong demand. China, the world’s largest lead producer, imposed a 10% tax on overseas sales. Tin prices finished the quarter slightly off their mid-March eighteen-year high. Gold prices were defensive during most of the second quarter, down slightly overall. Heavy selling from European central banks was a particular negative. Volatility was a watchword for silver during the quarter as funds moved in and out of the metal with most of the activity on the sell side during the final half of June as indicated in CFTC data. Platinum finished up slightly overall for the quarter. Global industrial demand has been solid, with strong jewelry demand and an increase in autocatalytic usage spurred by a growing diesel market. Palladium also ended the quarter slightly higher. South African labor concerns lent support to prices.

Softs:An increased sugar supply from Brazil was the latest bearish report for the commodity. Last year’s high prices, which encouraged increased production, are now taking their toll on prices. Coffee prices also fell during the second quarter, due to similarly rising inventories and favorable Brazilian weather. Cocoa prices rose to a four-year high after an attack on the prime minister of the Ivory Coast, pointing out how severe the country’s unrest is and restoring the “war premium” that had temporarily been lost in the cocoa market. Live cattle prices fell slightly during the second quarter and are down slightly year to date. Lower corn prices were noted in May and June, after cattle ranchers suffered with high feed prices for much of the year. An easing in the hype surrounding ethanol helped push corn prices lower. Cattle is now in peak-demand barbeque season and exports continue to be strong. Inventories are ample but show some evidence of decline. Live hog prices were volatile in the second quarter and ended the first half of the year down over 5% overall.

Second Quarter 2006

News from the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and its new chairman, Ben Bernanke, dominated the markets in the second quarter of 2006. Chairman Bernanke appears fully committed to fighting inflation and has quickly eliminated speculation that he might take a softer stance than his predecessor. The Fed continued to raise rates throughout the quarter. The Fed minutes have repeatedly stated that the Federal Open Market Committee’s (“FOMC”) actions will be data dependent and to this point that means the rate hike cycle is likely to continue at least for one addition meeting. As global liquidity and geopolitical concerns arose during the second quarter, U.S. Treasury yields found safe haven support.

Inflation and housing were again the major factors within the U.S. economic landscape. As gasoline prices continued to rise, inflation data drew particular attention. The housing market was somewhat mixed and the outlook remains uncertain. Despite these factors, final first quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) was revised upwards to 5.3% from the original 4.6%. However, the impact of a weaker housing sector and high gasoline and energy prices may be starting to take a toll, as the preliminary GDP for the second quarter was lower than expected at 2.5%.

The Eurozone continued to experience economic improvement in the second quarter. However, like the U.S., the third quarter may present a somewhat less buoyant picture. The euro turned in a strong quarter benefiting from central bank currency diversification. Interest rates were a primary focus as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) hiked rates by 25 basis points to 2.75% at its June meeting with further increases anticipated later in the year. An ongoing pattern of improved economic data was noted, particularly from Germany. In the U.K., the Bank of England (“BOE”) made no rate changes; economic data was fairly decent but showed some strain as the third quarter began.

In Japan, speculation that the Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) would finally end its “zero interest rate” policy proved correct as they imposed a 0.25% rate during the first week of July. Japan was at the forefront of the short-lived liquidity crisis, which instigated a sell-off in global assets during the second quarter, and their equity market fell approximately 9%. Other Asian equity markets saw a similar fate with Korea, Hong Kong and Shanghai also experiencing weakness. Despite the temporary disruption, overall economic data from Japan, and the region in general, showed an improved tone. China’s growth continues to be strong, as second quarter GDP rose to a 10 year high of 11.2%. The Bank of China raised interest rates in April in an attempt to harness growth and its inflationary implications. Further rate hikes are expected.

The Canadian economy has been moving at a brisk pace all year and the Bank of Canada has steadily raised rates. However, the statement at the conclusion of its most recent meeting suggests that a pause may be on the horizon. The Canadian dollar strengthened in the second quarter of 2006 and Canada’s economic fortunes seem bright.

Currencies:Interest rates were the primary drivers of the currency sector in the second quarter of 2006. The U.S. dollar suffered against the euro as the ECB appears to be at the beginning of its rate hike cycle and the Fed appears to be close to the end. Additionally, a continued pattern of improving economic data in the Eurozone was noted throughout the quarter, particularly from Germany, the leading driver of the region’s growth. The euro also benefited from central bank currency diversification away from the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency, as Russia, China, Sweden, and the United Arab Emirates were prominent in this trend, which is expected to continue. Despite this pressure, the U.S. dollar attracted flight to safety support in mid June when the Korean missile crisis emerged.

In Japan, the focus was also on interest rates, as market participants attempted to discern when the BOJ would end its long standing “zero interest rate” policy. The BOJ drained liquidity throughout the quarter in preparation for this eventuality. The Japanese economy continues to improve, as highlighted by one of the most watched economic indicators, the Tankan Report, which was released at the end of June and the second quarter saw the definitive conclusion of the nation’s deflationary era. The yen was pressured a bit in late June by the scandal surrounding BOJ Governor Fukui.

The Chinese yuan traded at 7.999 to the U.S. dollar in late June compared to 8.017 at the end of the first quarter and has gained slightly over 1% since its 2.1% revaluation in July 2005. Recent comments from Bank of China officials have hinted at a potentially faster pace, but the markets have lent little credence to this statement.

Energies:The energy sector was volatile in the second quarter of 2006. Crude ended the quarter around $74 per barrel, up approximately 8.5% from the end of the previous quarter. Geopolitical uncertainty regarding Iran, North Korea and Nigeria were supportive of crude. Additional support is coming from increased demand from China and India. The price at the pump for unleaded gasoline remains high, but demand continued to display a relatively inelastic pattern. The only component of the sector that fell was natural gas. With plenty of supply, moderate temperatures and a slow start to the hurricane season, prices of natural gas continued their downward slide.

Grains:The sector was mixed for the quarter. On the production side of the equation, weather played the single largest role in corn prices for the second quarter. On a week-by-week basis, as chances for seasonally beneficial precipitation ebbed and flowed, corn prices moved higher and lower respectively. The start of the period found the corn market firmly ensconced in an uptrend that began at the end of calendar year 2005, but prices fell off sharply in June after the release of a U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) Supply/Demand Report that raised questions about the demand for corn. The decline in corn prices, along with many other commodity markets, may have had its roots in a consumption-restricting announcement made by the Chinese government. The statement made was that internal growth needed to be slowed, in light of a too-rapidly expanding economy. The graphic profile of the wheat market is almost identical as that seen in corn. For most of the second quarter, soybean prices moved sideways. Due to China’s dependence on Brazilian soybean imports, the tightening credit situation in China will likely not have as great a bearing on U.S. soybean prices.

Indices:By and large, global equity indices were lower in the second quarter of 2006 versus the first quarter of 2006. For most of the quarter, U.S. stocks suffered from the uncertainty surrounding the interest rate environment and from fears that the U.S. economy was slowing, mainly due to higher energy prices and a softer housing sector. The S&P 500 ended the quarter down 1.9% and the NASDAQ ended the quarter down 7.2%. Going forward U.S. equities are likely to remain highly sensitive to any events that might alter the outlook for the Fed, particularly inflation related data.

European markets had been strong for most of the year prior to the sell-off in May. Foreign money flows into Europe slowed significantly in May and were still at a somewhat reduced level in June. The German DAX ended the quarter down 4.8%, the French CAC 40 was down 4.9% and the British FTSE was down 2.2%.

Asian markets were very volatile, particularly in May and June, as a liquidity crunch was experienced in Japan and in various other sectors around the region. Indications of higher interest rates in Japan, Korea and China in coming months provided a negative tone, but the flow of economic data took on a positive tone and bodes well for the rest of the year. Japan’s Nikkei was down 9.1% for the quarter and Korea’s Kospi was down 4.7%. Australia’s All Ordinaries closed out the quarter down approximately 1%, but the strength in resource issues aided this market and the outlook for Australia is positive.

Interest Rates:U.S. Treasuries were in a rally mode for much of May and June as the markets evaluated the new Fed under Ben Bernanke. The FOMC appeared to be taking on a more aggressively anti-inflationary tone as the quarter progressed, with the Chairman and numerous Fed Governors focusing on the threat of inflation. After closing out the first quarter at 4.85%, the yield on the 10-year Treasury Note moved over 5.26% in mid June on the market view that that the Fed would continue to raise rates through the August meeting and possibly beyond. The softer tone of the statement accompanying the 25 basis point rate hike at the end of June caught the markets by surprise. While still recognizing the risk of inflation, the Fed gave greater credence to the potential for some economic slowing, and appeared to put into question the prospect of a further rate hike in August. As June concluded, the yield on the 10-year Treasury Note stood at 5.145%.

Outside of the U.S., the ECB raised rates 25 basis points in June to 2.75%. Statements by ECB President Jean Claude Trichet regarding inflation were mixed throughout the quarter, but were leaning towards the tightening side as June ended and additional ECB rate hikes are expected later this summer. Trichet has emphasized that inflation will remain elevated and that there is a risk of a surge in consumer prices. European data, particularly from Germany remains buoyant. The 10-year German Bund was yielding 4.07% at the end of June while the 30-year stood at 4.31%.

In the first week of July, the BOJ officially ended its “zero interest rate” policy by imposing a 0.25% rate, finally putting an end to the speculation that was rampant throughout the second quarter. Other Asian banks, including the Bank of Korea, raised rates in June and there are growing indications that the Bank of China will embark on a tightening bias to temper the expected 10% plus GDP growth and its inflationary potential. The Bank of Canada raised rates another 25 basis points but the accompanying statement hinted at a pause. The Reserve Bank of Australia held rates at 5.75% but there is speculation of an increase.

Metals:Gold had been in an upside surge for the entire year until things finally came to an end, at least temporarily, in late May. Global liquidity tightness, particularly in the Far East, which impacted other commodities as well as the equity and fixed income markets, served as a clear negative for gold and essentially put an end to the rally. Geopolitical concerns surrounding Iran, Iraq and Korea have been supportive for gold and are likely to aid the bull case in coming weeks. In addition, reserve asset diversification is likely to persist. Russia, China and Sweden, along with the United Arab Emirates and other petro-nations were active in that regard during the second quarter. Petrodollars have been flowing into gold for much of the year, although that slowed somewhat in June. Silver followed a similar pattern to gold, retaining its dependent relationship with the yellow metal.

The entire base metal complex was very volatile during the second quarter. Copper ended the quarter up 37% from the previous quarter, as labor and production problems in Mexico, Chile and Zambia added to the bullish scenario. With China forecast to see 10% plus GDP growth in 2006, the demand side of the equation still looks strong, as it does for most of Asia as well as the U.S. and Europe. Mines still lack the ability to significantly ramp up production, giving copper a solid fundamental base. After surging nearly 17% in May, zinc lost 15% in June but it is still up more than 75% for the year. Fundamentally, zinc presents the strongest picture among all the base metals as it faces a significant production deficit. Nickel rallied strongly for the quarter as well. While its fundamentals have improved, as stainless steel demand increased, the recent highs are vastly ahead of reasonable value.

Softs:The sector was mixed for the second quarter, with several markets experiencing significant sell-offs in May. Sugar had been extremely firm in the first quarter through mid second quarter, before undergoing a correction in May. Following a weak performance in May, which saw sugar decline over 11%, prices rebounded in June. However, the outlook is uncertain, as the weather in Brazil’s sugar producing areas has been crop friendly after a period of dry conditions. Coffee prices also fell in May, losing 10%. Brazilian weather has been excellent, which weighed on sentiment throughout the second quarter. The harvest has been moving at a brisk pace and at 35% complete for the season, is ahead of schedule. The second quarter saw cocoa prices trend higher. The Ivory Coast was the focus after the disarmament process broke down yet again. Cattle scored gains in May and June as the USDA announced an agreement with Japan to restart U.S. beef exports to that nation. Hogs also put in a strong June, as Far Eastern demand remained brisk.

Sector Performance

Due to the nature of Registrant’s trading activities, a period-to-period comparison of its trading results is not meaningful.

Results of Operations

The net asset value (“Net Asset Value”) per Interest as of June 30, 2008 was $124.86, an increase of 11.88% from the December 31, 2007 Net Asset Value per Interest of $111.60 and an increase of 3.16% from the March 31, 2008

Net Asset Value per Interest of $121.03. The Net Asset Value per Interest as of June 30, 2007 was $106.73, an increase of 6.47% from the December 31, 2006 Net Asset Value per Interest of $100.24 and an increase of 9.67% from the March 31, 2007 Net Asset Value per Interest of $97.32. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Registrant’s trading gains before commissions and related fees during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $262,000 and $810,000, respectively. Registrant’s trading gains before commissions and related fees during Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 were approximately $633,000 and $560,000, respectively.

Registrant’s average net asset level decreased during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 in comparison to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 primarily due to the effect of redemptions which were partly offset by positive trading performance. Registrant’s average net asset level decreased during Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 in comparison to the Second Quarter 2006 and Year-To-Date 2006 primarily due to the effect of redemptions.

Interest income is earned on the average daily equity maintained with the clearing broker and bank at competitive interest rates and, therefore, varies monthly according to interest rates, trading performance and redemptions. Interest income during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 was approximately $15,000 and $35,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $38,000 and $76,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above and declining interest rates. Interest income during Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 was approximately $53,000 and $111,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $19,000 and $22,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2006 and Year-To-Date 2006, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above.

Commissions are calculated on Registrant’s Net Asset Value on the first day of each month and therefore, vary according to monthly trading performance and redemptions. Other transaction fees consist of National Futures Association, exchange and clearing fees as well as floor brokerage costs and give-up charges, which are based on the number of trades the Trading Advisor executes, as well as which exchange, clearing firm or bank on, or through, which the contract is traded. Commissions and other transaction fees during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $80,000 and $163,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $10,000 and $24,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above. Commissions and other transaction fees during the Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 were approximately $90,000 and $187,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $26,000 and $42,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2006 and Year-To-Date 2006, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above.

Management fees are calculated on Registrant’s share of the Trading Vehicle’s Net Asset Value at the end of each month, and therefore, are affected by monthly trading performance and redemptions. Management fees during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $22,000 and $44,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $3,000 and $19,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above. Management fees during the Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 were approximately $25,000 and $63,000, respectively, an increase of approximately $3,000 and $19,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2006 and Year-To-Date 2006, primarily due to the Trading Advisor being paid at a higher management fee rate for 2007 as compared to 2006.

Incentive fees, which are based on the “New High Net Trading Profits” (as defined in the applicable Advisory Agreement) generated by the Trading Advisor, are accrued monthly and are ultimately determined as of the close of business on the last business day of each calendar quarter. Incentive fees during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $46,000 and $149,000, respectively. Incentive fees during Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 were approximately $120,000 and $120,000, respectively.

General and administrative expenses during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $7,000 and $13,000, respectively. General and administrative expenses during Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 were approximately $2,000 and $4,000, respectively. These expenses charged to the Registrant by the Managing Owner include accounting, audit, tax, and legal fees allocated from the Trading Vehicle.

Inflation

Inflation has had no material impact on the operations or on the financial condition of Registrant from inception through June 30, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2008, Registrant had not utilized special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers, such as our accountants, undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of Registrant. While Registrant’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on Registrant’s financial position.

Registrant’s contractual obligations are with the Managing Owner and the Trading Vehicle and, as a result of its investment in the Trading Vehicle, with the Trading Advisor and the Trading Vehicle’s commodity broker. Management fees payable by Registrant to the Trading Advisor (through its investment in the Trading Vehicle) and the Managing Owner are calculated as a fixed percentage of the Trading Vehicle and Registrant’s Net Asset Value, respectively. Incentive fees payable by the Registrant to the Trading Advisor (through its investment in the Trading Vehicle) are at a fixed rate, calculated as a percentage of the Trading Vehicle’s “New High Net Trading Profits”. As such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amounts to be paid for future periods as Net Asset Values and “New High Net Trading Profits” are not known until a future date. Commissions payable to the Trading Vehicle’s commodity broker are based on a cost per executed trade and, as such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount that will be required under the brokerage agreement, as the level of executed trades are not known until a future date. These agreements are effective for one-year terms, renewable automatically for additional one-year terms unless terminated. Additionally, these agreements may be terminated by either party thereto for various reasons. For a further discussion of Registrant’s contractual obligations, see Notes 1, 3 and 4 to Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is not required pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Registrant’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Registrant in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Registrant’s management, including the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration (who, in these capacities, function as the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Principal Financial/Accounting Officer, respectively, of Registrant), as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Managing Owner recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

The Managing Owner’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of certain officers of the Managing Owner (including the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration), has evaluated the effectiveness of Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration have concluded that, as of the end of such period, Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during Second Quarter 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting.
