NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
March 31, 2011
SUPERFUND GREEN, L.P.
1. Nature of operations
Organization and Business
Superfund Green, L.P. (the “Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The Fund was organized to trade speculatively in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and international commodity futures and forward markets using a fully-automated computerized trading system. The Fund has issued two classes of units (“Units”), Series A and Series B (each, a “Series”). The two Series are traded and managed the same way except for the degree of leverage.
The term of the Fund shall continue until December 31, 2050, unless terminated earlier by the Fund’s general partner, Superfund Capital Management, Inc. (“Superfund Capital Management”) or by operation of law or a decline in the aggregate net assets of such Series to less than $500,000.
2. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) with respect to the Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments which in the opinion of management are normal and recurring, and which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim periods presented. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Valuation of Investments in Futures Contracts, Forward Contracts, and U.S. Treasury Bills
All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on a trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents fair value for those commodity interests for which market quotes are readily available.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at settlement prices published by the recognized exchange. Any spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund will be valued at published settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. The Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing U.S. Treasury Bills due to the short-term nature of such instruments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium approximates fair value (See Section 3 — Fair Value Measurements).
Translation of Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the period-end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the transaction date. Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statements of operations.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the statements of operations.
21
Table of Contents
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the statements of financial condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 210-20,Offsetting — Balance Sheet.
Income Taxes
The Fund does not record a provision for U.S. income taxes because the partners report their share of the Fund’s income or loss on their returns. The financial statements reflect the Fund’s transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes.
Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the application of ASC 740,Income Taxes(“ASC 740”), to the Fund, to determine whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, the Fund has determined no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required to be recorded as a result of the application of ASC 740. Superfund Capital Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund files federal and various state tax returns. The 2008 through 2010 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Superfund Capital Management 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2010-06
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements(“ASU 2010-06”), which amends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”), and requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 categories, as well as requires entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years). The Fund has adopted ASU 2010-06 effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have any impact on the Fund’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, as the Fund has not had any transfers in or out of Level 1 or 2 categories, nor does it hold Level 3 assets or liabilities. The amendments effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 did not have any impact on the Fund’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
3. Fair Value Measurements
The Fund follows ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”), which establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
22
Table of Contents
Level 2: | Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; | |
Level 3: | Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Fund separates its financial instruments into two categories: U.S. government securities and derivative contracts.
U.S. Government Securities.The Fund’s only market exposure in instruments held other than for speculative trading is in its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio. As the Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio, which approximates fair value, this portfolio is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Contracts.Derivative contracts can be exchange-traded or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether they are deemed to be actively traded or not. The Fund has exposure to exchange-traded derivative contracts through the Fund’s trading of exchange-traded futures contracts. The Fund’s exchange-traded futures contract positions are valued daily at settlement prices published by the applicable exchanges. In such cases, provided they are deemed to be actively traded, exchange-traded derivatives are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Less actively traded exchange-traded derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards and swaps, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. The OTC derivatives held by the Fund may include forwards and swaps. Spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund are valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. The Fund’s forward and swap positions are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. Such instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Where the Fund does not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, transaction price is initially used as the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so that the model value at inception equals the transaction price. The valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives are typically based on Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs that can be observed in the market, as well as unobservable Level 3 inputs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Fund updates the Level 1 and Level 2 inputs to reflect observable market changes, with resulting gains and losses reflected within Level 3. Level 3 inputs are changed only when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, third-party pricing services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. In circumstances in which the Fund cannot verify the model value to market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. The Fund attempts to avoid holding less liquid OTC derivatives. However, once held, the market for any particular derivative contract could become less liquid during the holding period. As of and during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Fund held no derivative contracts valued using Level 3 inputs.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s assets and liabilities by the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

4. Disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities
The Fund follows ASC 815,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“ASC 815”). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
Derivative instruments held by the Fund do not qualify as derivative instruments held as hedging instruments, as defined in ASC 815. Instead, the Fund includes derivative instruments in its trading activity. Per the requirements of ASC 815, the Fund discloses the gains and losses on its trading activities for both derivative and nonderivative instruments in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of forward contracts in currency and futures contracts in a wide range of commodities, including equity markets, interest rates, food and fiber, energy, livestock, and metals. ASC 815 requires entities to recognize all derivatives instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. Investments in forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open forward contracts and futures contracts purchased and futures contracts sold.” Since the derivatives held or sold by the Fund are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC 815. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open positions from the preceding period, are recognized as part of the Fund’s trading profits and losses in the Statements of Operations.
Superfund Capital Management believes futures and forward trading activity expressed as a percentage of net assets is indicative of trading activity. Information concerning the fair value of the Fund’s derivatives held long or sold short, as well as information related to the annual average volume of the Fund’s derivative activity, is as follows:

5. Due from/to brokers
Due from brokers consists of proceeds from securities sold. Amounts due from brokers may be restricted to the extent that they serve as deposits for securities sold short. Amounts due to brokers represent margin borrowings that are collateralized by certain securities. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no amounts due to brokers.
In the normal course of business, all of the Fund’s marketable securities transactions, money balances and marketable security positions are transacted with brokers. The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with whom it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. Superfund Capital Management monitors the financial condition of such brokers and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.
6. Allocation of net profits and losses
In accordance with the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, net profits and losses of the Fund are allocated to partners according to their respective interests in the Fund as of the beginning of each month.
Subscriptions received in advance, if any, represent cash received prior to the balance sheet date for subscriptions of the subsequent month and do not participate in the earnings of the Fund until the following month.
7. Related party transactions
Superfund Capital Management shall be paid a management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.85% of month-end net assets (1.85% per annum) of net assets, ongoing offering expenses equal to one-twelfth of 1% of month-end net assets (1% per annum), not to exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred, and monthly operating expenses equal to one-twelfth of 0.15% of month-end net assets (0.15% per annum), not to exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred. Superfund Capital Management will also be paid a monthly performance/incentive fee equal to 25% of the new appreciation without respect to interest income. Trading losses will be carried forward and no further performance/incentive fee may be paid until the prior losses have been recovered. In addition, Superfund Asset Management, Inc., an affiliate of Superfund Capital Management, serves as the introducing broker for the Fund’s futures transactions and receives a portion of the brokerage commissions paid by the Fund in connection with its futures trading, Superfund USA, an entity related to Superfund Capital Management by common ownership, shall be paid monthly selling commissions equal to one-twelfth of 4% (4% per annum) of the month-end net asset value of the Fund. However, the maximum cumulative selling commission per Unit is limited to 10% of the initial public offering price of Units sold. Selling commissions charged as of the end of each month in excess of 10% of the initial public offering price of Units sold shall not be paid out to any selling agent but shall instead be held in a separate account. Accrued monthly performance fees, if any, will then be charged against both net assets of the Fund as of month-end, as well as against amounts held in the separate account. Any increase or decrease in net assets and any accrued interest will then be credited or charged to each investor (a “Limited Partner”) on a pro rata basis. The remainder of the amounts held in the separate account, if any, shall then be reinvested in Units as of such month-end, at the current net asset value, for the benefit of the appropriate Limited Partner.

9. Financial instrument risk
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specific future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or OTC. Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.

Table of Contents
For the Fund, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $5,061,401 and $3,266,573, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $1,081,260 and $964,573, respectively, at March 31, 2011.
For Series A, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $1,624,274 and $1,055,291, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $332,291 and $291,302, respectively, at March 31, 2011.
For Series B, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $3,437,127 and $2,211,282, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $748,969 and $673,271, respectively, at March 31, 2011.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Fund due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interest positions at the same time, and Superfund Capital Management was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Fund’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. As the Fund’s assets are held in segregated accounts with futures commission merchants, the Fund has credit risk and concentration risk. The Fund’s futures commission merchants are currently ADM Investor Services, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., MF Global Inc., and Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C.
Superfund Capital Management monitors and controls the Fund’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit, and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Fund is subject. These monitoring systems allow Superfund Capital Management to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures and forward positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions, and collateral positions.
The majority of these futures and forwards mature within one year of March 31, 2011. However, due to the nature of the Fund’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
10. Subscriptions and redemptions
Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to the applicable month-end closing date and they will be accepted once payments are received and cleared. All subscription funds are required to be promptly transmitted to the escrow agent, HSBC Bank USA. Subscriptions must be accepted or rejected by Superfund Capital Management within five business days of receipt, and the settlement date for the deposit of subscription funds in escrow must be within five business days of acceptance. No fees or costs will be assessed on any subscription while held in escrow, irrespective of whether the subscription is accepted or the subscription funds are returned.
A Limited Partner may request any or all of his investment in such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within such Series as of the end of each month, subject to a minimum redemption of $1,000 and subject further to such limited partner having an investment in such Series, after giving effect to the requested redemption, at least equal to the minimum initial investment amount of $5,000. Limited Partners must transmit a written request of such redemption to Superfund Capital Management not less than five business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as permitted by Superfund Capital Management) as of which redemption is to be effective. Redemptions will generally be paid within twenty days after the date of redemption. However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers’ positions as of a redemption date or default or delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks or other persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons requesting redemption of the proportionate part of the net assets of each Series represented by the sums that are subject of such default or delay. The Prospectus of the Fund dated August 13, 2010 included within the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-162132) provides if the net asset value per Unit within a Series as of the end of any business day declines by 50% or more from either the prior year-end or the prior month-end Unit value of such Series, Superfund Capital Management will suspend trading activities, notify all Limited Partners within such Series of the relevant facts within seven business days and declare a special redemption period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The Fund commenced the offering of its Units on October 22, 2002. The initial offering terminated on October 31, 2002 and the Fund commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The continuing offering period commenced at the termination of the initial offering period and is ongoing. Subscription and redemption data is presented for both the Fund, as the SEC registrant, and for Series A and Series B, individually. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Fund has accepted subscriptions totaling $2,564,652 and redemptions over the same period totaled $6,630,177. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, subscriptions totaling $894,754 in Series A and $1,669,898 in Series B have been accepted and redemptions over the same period totaled $1,969,480 in Series A and $4,660,697 in Series B.
LIQUIDITY
Most U.S. commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in futures contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. This may affect the Fund’s ability to initiate new positions or close existing ones or may prevent it from having orders executed. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Fund from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses, which could exceed the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Fund may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices if little trading in such contracts is taking place.
Trading in forward contracts introduces a possible further impact on liquidity. Because such contracts are executed “off exchange” between private parties, the time required to offset or “unwind” these positions may be greater than that for regulated instruments. This potential delay could be exacerbated to the extent a counterparty is not a U.S. person.
Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Fund’s futures and forward trading operations, the Fund’s assets are expected to be highly liquid.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Fund will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering and does not intend to raise any capital through borrowings. Due to the nature of the Fund’s business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which are not operating capital or assets.

Fund results for 1st Quarter 2011:
In March, the Fund’s allocation to global equity markets underperformed as a sharp countertrend reversal following the disaster in Japan produced losses for the Fund’s strategies. Equity markets opened the month moving sideways as the reemergence of sovereign debt and inflation worries in Europe offset steady expansion in global manufacturing. From there the Nikkei plunged 25.0% on panic-induced selling following the events of March 11th. Results for the Fund’s models experienced losses as most leading indices participated in the selloff as risk appetite abated. Equities quickly recovered as the focus shifted to the growth to be generated by rebuilding Japan. Nikkei futures finished only 7.7% lower on the month while shares in South Korea and Hong Kong finished 9.1% and 0.9% higher, respectively, on the belief that these markets are well positioned to fill the temporary void left by the decimated Japanese manufacturing sector. U.S. equity markets also experienced small gains as macroeconomic data continued on a positive trajectory. A mixture of long and short positions in equity markets led the Fund to an overall loss. The Fund’s positions in the bond sector experienced gains in March despite volatile market conditions as geopolitical instability in Libya and Japan and financial instability in Europe led investors to the relative safety of treasuries. Positions in Japanese government 10-year bonds experienced gains as the market opened the month near unchanged before rallying sharply in response to a nearly 20.0% washout in equities following the disaster. The Fund experienced losses in German bund futures as the market finished lower on news of improving employment, factory orders and retail sales. Meanwhile, the sovereign debt situation continued to evolve amid several debt downgrades of peripheral states, prompting investors to demand more yield to hold German debt even as European Union leaders agreed to an expanded bailout package for troubled states. Results in U.S. bonds also experienced losses in turbulent trading activity as strong economic prospects offset geopolitical safe haven buying. A mixture of long and short bond positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. The Fund’s currency positions experienced gains in March as interest rate expectations and unsettling geopolitical developments dominated trading activity. June euro futures advanced 2.9% despite debt downgrades of Greece, Portugal and Spain as the European Central Bank chairman continued to express the need for extreme vigilance with respect to the growing threat of inflation. The Swiss franc benefitted as investors sought shelter from the U.S.’s quantitative easing and Europe’s sovereign debt troubles. The yen rose over 4.0% following the catastrophic earthquake, amid expectations for a massive repatriation of capital to rebuild the stricken nation. However, in the first coordinated G7 intervention since the 2000 support for the euro, central bankers crushed the rally on March 18th, leading to a loss of 1.6% on the month. The Mexican peso outperformed as the oil producing nation saw slowing inflation complimented by expectations for continuing strong gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. A mixture of long and short currency positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month.
In February, the Fund’s allocation to equity markets performed well in February as major indices in the U.S. and Europe continued to press higher on improving economic conditions and strong corporate results. Late in the month, European and U.S. equities were shaken as the political unrest in Egypt spread to Libya and Bahrain, where protesters were met with force. The outbreak of violence triggered a spike in energy markets, which, when combined with uncertainty surrounding the severity of the crisis, prompted liquidation. Most major U.S. and European indices recovered late amid reassuring comments that the Saudis would cover any oil supply shortfalls. Asian shares struggled as inflation took a toll on growth prospects. Chinese H-shares lagged, finishing unchanged as inflation and consequent fiscal tightening dominated the action. Spillover pressure also affected shares in Singapore and Taiwan, which finished 5.9% and 5.6% lower, respectively. Japan’s Nikkei and Australia’s SPI finished 3.7% and 2.1% higher, respectively, in relatively quiet trading. A mixture of long and short positions in equity markets led the Fund to an overall gain in February. The Fund experienced losses in the bond sector in February as existing positions suffered amid a reversal in investors’ perception of the current risk environment. After breaking lower early in the month on strong corporate earnings and forward guidance, U.S. 30-year bond futures surged to January highs as growing unrest across the Middle East unnerved investors, prompting a general flight to safety. Germany’s bund futures opened the month under pressure as anecdotal evidence of exceptional demand from China offset disappointing December factory orders and retail sales data. However, the deteriorating geopolitical situation and local election losses by the majority ruling party in Germany spurred a reversal that led to losses for the Fund. Trade in Australian bond futures was particularly volatile, to the Fund’s detriment, as weakness associated with a strong early month employment report faded as the Reserve Bank of Australia chief indicated that the central bank was not considering a rate hike at the current time. A mixture of long and short bond positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund obtained gains in currencies in February as the U.S. dollar continued to trend lower, extending January’s losses by another 0.7%. The Swiss franc and Japanese yen finished 1.5% and 0.3% higher, respectively, amid safe haven buying as the situation deteriorated in the Middle East. The Fund experienced gains in the British pound, which finished the month 1.5% higher, after Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) readings showed that prices
40

were increasing at a 4.0% annualized rate, the highest level since fall of 2008. Meanwhile, central bankers in Peru, Colombia, Indonesia and Russia raised rates as they continued to battle inflation while also attempting to fend off the negative effects that massive currency inflows are having on domestic currency appreciation. Colombia extended its dollar purchase program for another three months, hoping to cap currency gains to protect its export prospects. The Australian dollar finished 2.5% higher against the U.S. dollar as strong commodity markets supported full employment. A mixture of long and short positions in the currency sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. The Fund’s allocation to global energy markets yielded gains as growing instability in the Middle East and Northern Africa sent prices significantly higher. Short positions in West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil performed well early in the month, falling over 5.0% following the Egyptian president’s resignation and total U.S. fuel supplies moving to twenty year highs at the Cushing, Oklahoma delivery point. From there, the Fund experienced gains on long positions in April gasoline, heating oil, and brent crude, which finished 9.8%, 7.6% and 10.9% higher, respectively, at the expense of the Fund’s WTI crude position as civil unrest spread to Bahrain, Libya, and Oman. The markets gathered momentum as speculation surrounding the stability of the Saudi regime intensified. Short positions in April natural gas also performed well, falling 8.9% on the month as forecasts for mild weather contributed to a convincing breech of the $4 British thermal unit level. A mixture of long and short positions in the energy sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the month.
In January, the Fund’s allocation to global equities finished mixed in January as disappointing performances in several peripheral markets offset steady trends in major indices. In Europe, several past laggards, including Greece, Italy and Spain finished the month 13.9%, 9.2% and 10.2% higher, respectively, as heavy European Community Bank participation in secondary market debt auctions and plans for a comprehensive debt relief structure reassured investors. Small gains on positions in Germany’s DAX, France’s CAC40 and the Amsterdam EOE Index, which finished 2.5%, 5.1% and 1.3% higher, respectively, offset losses in the sector as several core European economies improved. U.S. equities pressed higher as improving employment figures and solid consumer demand elevated corporate earnings. The Fund experienced early losses in Australia’s SPI as epic flooding cut into 2011 GDP prospects. Chinese H-Shares reversed lower late in the month to the Fund’s detriment as authorities continued to struggle with inflation. Overall, a mixture of long and short stock indices positions led the Fund to an overall loss. The Fund’s allocation to global bond markets underperformed in January as investors exited safe haven assets in response to improving global economic conditions. The Fund experienced losses in its Japanese government bond positions as large auctions and generally poor economic performance resulted in a ratings agency debt downgrade, encouraging investors to put money to work outside the country. In Europe, investors sold bund and bobl futures as Euro-zone industrial production readings easily surpassed expectations. Additionally, positive dialogue from various heads of state regarding a comprehensive crisis solution was backed up by aggressive European Community Bank purchases of Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish debt in secondary markets, ensuring successful auctions for the embattled countries. In the U.S., performance suffered in choppy countertrend action as bond and note futures moved sideways to slightly higher as the Quantitative Easing 2 program persisted in spite of rising inflation concerns in the rest of the world. A mixture of long and short bond positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund experienced losses in the interest rates sector as European short rates reversed sharply from December’s strong close. While the European Community Bank left rates unchanged in January, their policy minutes emphasized vigilance over price stability in the midst of rising commodity prices. Policy makers also noted that uncertainty remains elevated and some financial institutions still face the threat of balance sheet adjustments despite positive underlying momentum in the economy. They also stressed the need for Euro members to reduce debt-to-GDP ratios. Short rate futures in the U.S. finished near their highs as early weakness associated with a strong employment report was offset by staunchly accommodative Federal Reserve monetary policy. Their focus, in contrast to the European Community Bank, continues to be focused on growth and full employment at the expense of inflation. Meanwhile, Australian short rate futures moved higher to the Fund’s benefit as epic flooding cut into 2011 GDP estimates, thereby reducing prospects for previously expected rate hikes. A mixture of long and short interest rate positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund’s allocation to currency markets underperformed in January as the euro and British pound finished 2.4% and 2.8% higher against the U.S. dollar, respectively, and euro-zone regionals reversed late 2010 losses. Early month news that Japan would buy distressed sovereign debt and strong European Community Bank secondary market participation in Portugal, Spain, and Italian bond auctions provided support to these recently battered economies. As confidence in the euro improved, investors moved out of the Swiss franc, which finished 0.9% lower against the U.S. dollar, and back into risk plays in Hungary and Poland, which finished 5.4% and 4.1% higher, respectively, resulting in losses for the Fund. The Australian dollar finished 2.1% lower against the U.S. dollar as flood damage triggered a one-time levy, which tempered 2011 growth estimates and rate hike expectations. The Fund experienced losses in the yen following a credit rating downgrade as Japan’s huge debt load and limited policy options unnerved investors. Gains in the Mexican peso, which finished 1.8% higher against the U.S. dollar, offset some losses in the sector as the peso rallied on prospects for a sustained U.S. economic recovery. The Fund’s mixture of long and short currency positions led to an overall loss on the month. The Fund experienced losses in the metals sector in January as gold and silver futures traded sharply lower amid growing optimism that the global economic recovery is gaining momentum. April gold finished with a loss of 6.2% as strong early month U.S. employment figures and ebbing contagion fears in Europe limited investors’ appetite for the alternative asset. March silver finished the month 8.8% lower in correlated action. The Fund’s allocation to industrial metals also suffered. The Fund’s positions in March Comex copper were stopped out after a 6.0% intra-month decline due to China raising its reserve requirement in response to elevated GDP and CPI reports. Fears that China would take more aggressive measures to limit
41

growth led to losses in London aluminum, lead, and zinc as several Chinese banks were forced to cease lending for the remainder of the month. A mixture of long and short metals positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund’s allocation to global energy markets produced positive returns in January as economic, logistical, and geopolitical factors underpinned values. Strong U.S. employment figures and a pipeline shutdown in Alaska supported the Fund’s New York crude oil positions early in the month. However, elevated Chinese GDP and CPI readings precipitated another reserve requirement hike while increasing expectations for additional measures to slow their economy. This scenario, along with a bearish U.S. inventory report, contributed to losses for the Fund amid an 8.0% drop from intra-month highs. Long positions in brent crude finished 6.6% higher, surpassing $100 per barrel following a reversal in European demand expectations, an accident in the North Sea which idled 200k barrels of production, and heightening unrest in Egypt. Front-month heating oil surged as well, adding 7.4% as exceptionally cold weather gripped the northern hemisphere, providing excellent returns for the Fund. A mixture of long and short energy positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month.
For the 1st quarter of 2011, the most profitable market group overall was the energy sector, while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the bonds sector.

Fund results for 1st Quarter 2010:
In March, the Fund saw excellent results in the equities sector as global stock markets throughout the world surged. Rising business confidence in Germany propelled the DAX to a gain of 9.7%, while Italy’s MIB40, Spain’s IBEX and Poland’s WIG20 finished up 8.5%, 4.8% and 12.6%, respectively. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei finished up 10.3% and in the U.S., the S&P 500 and the Dow finished up 6.0% and 5.3%, respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the stock indices sector led to a gain for the Fund for the month. The Fund continued to experience significant gains from its energy positions as global economic strength propelled crude oil demand expectations higher while warm weather and inflated inventories extended the downtrend in natural gas prices. Front-month crude oil futures finished up 4.7% on the month. The U.S. increased the number of natural gas rigs to 941, up 16.0% from a year earlier. These factors, combined with a mild weather forecast, sent front-month natural gas down, finishing 19.6% lower on the month. A mixture of long and short positions in the energy sector led to a gain for the Fund for the month. The Fund also experienced positive results in its long metals positions as base metals surged despite the stronger U.S. dollar. London copper finished 8.4% higher as exchange inventories fell for most of the month. London nickel rose to its highest level since June 2008, finishing 17.9% higher. The Fund’s long positions in the metals sector resulted in an overall gain for the month.
In February, world bond markets experienced volatile action as sovereign debt contagion worries spread while economic data showed promising signs. The Fund’s net short position in U.S. 30-year Treasury bonds resulted in small losses as futures rallied near month-end despite better than expected economic reports. In Europe, March bonds surged at month-end to finish moderately higher, producing overall gains for the Fund’s long positions. Overall, a mixture of long and short positions in the bonds sector produced a gain for the Fund for the month. Global short-term interest rate futures traded higher in February, continuing a strong-upward trend and providing the Fund with positive returns. In the U.S., three-month Eurodollar futures rallied to new highs after the U.S. Federal Reserve unexpectedly raised the discount rate but reaffirmed that the federal funds rate will remain at exceptionally low levels for an extended period. The Fund’s long positions in the interest rates sector resulted in a gain for the month. Fundamentals in the grain sector improved enough to offset the U.S. dollar rally. May soybeans, wheat and corn finished the month 3.9%, 6.3% and 5.7% higher, respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the grains sector led to a loss for the Fund on the month. The Fund experienced positive returns in global energy markets in February as macroeconomic data continued to show strength. Crude oil finished 8.5% higher and natural gas finished 6.1% lower. A mixture of long and short positions

in the energy sector led to an overall loss for the Fund on the month. New York and London front-month sugar futures reversed sharply, finishing the month 19.2% and 9.8% lower, respectively, while May New York cocoa contracts lost 10.2% on the month. Chinese cotton production was estimated to have fallen 15.0% from the prior year, propelling May cotton to a gain of 16.7% on the month. A mixture of long and short positions in the agricultural sector led to a loss for the Fund on the month.
In January, global equities continued to trend higher but reversed sharply by month-end. In the U.S., the Dow and Nasdaq Composite Index finished 3.5% and 6.8% lower, respectively. European equities also experienced significant declines, with Germany’s DAX, the United Kingdom’s FTSE and France’s CAC40 finishing 6.7%, 4.2% and 5.1% lower against the U.S. dollar, respectively. Asian stocks fell as China began to take steps to slow growth and curb lending in response to an overheating economy. The Hang Seng and Japan’s Nikkei finished 7.8% and 3.6% lower against the U.S. dollar, respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the stock indices sector produced an overall loss for the Fund on the month. Global short-term interest futures rebounded in January with numerous products trading to new contract highs. Eurodollar futures rallied as weaker than expected fundamental data in the U.S. prompted the selling of equities and the buying of safer short-term assets. A mixture of long and short positions in the interest rates sector resulted in a gain for the Fund for the month. The U.S. dollar index extended its December gains in January, finishing the month 1.7% higher as risk capital flowed into the U.S. dollar following China’s strong signals that it would act to contain its rapid growth. Entrenched trends in emerging market currencies continued to unwind with the Brazilian real and Chilean peso finishing the month down 8.7% and 3.3%, respectively. The Fund’s short positions in the U.S. dollar led the currencies sector to a loss on the month. Front-month crude oil futures rose to their highest level since the fall of 2008 in early January until a U.S. dollar reversal and growing global economic fears led to an 8.4% decline on the month. March natural gas finished 7.0% lower as the return of mild temperatures stabilized inventories near the 5-year average after the steep drawdown following December’s cold snap. A mixture of long and short energy positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month in the sector. London zinc declined 17.0%, while lead and copper lost 17.1% and 9.0%, respectively, on the month, as the Chinese central bank raised reserve requirements and ordered some banks to cease lending altogether. February gold sold off late to finish 1.2% lower. The Fund’s long positions in the metals sector led to an overall loss for the month.
For the first quarter of 2010, the most profitable market group overall was the energy sector, while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the currency sector.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. The Fund trades in futures and forward contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions of the Fund at the same time, and if Superfund Capital Management was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses. Superfund Capital Management attempts to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio in all but extreme instances not greater than 50%.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures and forward contracts, there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Fund. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the U.S. and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse 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, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Fund does not engage in off-balance sheet arrangements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Fund does not enter into contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments of a type that would be typical for an operating company. The Fund’s sole business is trading futures, currency, forward and certain swap contracts, both long (contracts to buy) and short (contracts to sell). All such contracts are settled by offset, not delivery. Substantially all such contracts are for settlement within four months of the trade date and substantially all such contracts are held by the Fund for less than four months before being offset or rolled over into new contracts with similar maturities.

of Series A and Series B each present a Condensed Schedule of Investments setting forth net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such Series’ open forward contracts as well as the fair value of the futures contracts purchased and sold by each Series at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES — VALUATION OF THE FUND’S POSITIONS
Superfund Capital Management believes that the accounting policies that will be most critical to the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations relate to the valuation of the Fund’s positions. The Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing U.S. Treasury Bills. Superfund Capital Management believes the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates fair value. The majority of the Fund’s positions will be exchange-traded futures contracts, which will be valued daily at settlement prices published by the exchanges. Any spot and forward foreign currency or swap contracts held by the Fund will also be valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. Thus, Superfund Capital Management expects that under normal circumstances substantially all of the Fund’s assets will be valued on a daily basis using objective measures.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2010-06
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements(“ASU 2010-06”), which amends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”), and requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 categories, as well as requires entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years). The Fund has adopted ASU 2010-06 effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have any impact on the Fund’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, as the Fund has not had any transfers in or out of Level 1 or 2 categories, nor does it hold Level 3 assets or liabilities. The Fund does not anticipate the amendments effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 to have an impact on the Fund’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
