contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership/Funds have concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership's/Funds' assets is CGM.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's/Funds' 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 Partnership/Funds are subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner 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, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of March 31, 2006. However, due to the nature of the Partnership's/Funds' businesses, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services. The Partnership's only assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading account consisting of cash, investment in Partnerships, net unrealized appreciation on open futures and forward contracts, commodity options, if applicable, and interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a decrease in liquidity, no such losses occurred in the first quarter of 2006.
The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on commodity futures trading, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, Partnership capital increased 22.9% from $172,442,322 to $211,974,901. This increase was attributable to net income from operations of $11,592,084 coupled with additional sales of 19,118.3559 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership totaling $31,509,000, which was partially offset by the redemption of 2,127.4974 Redeemable Units resulting in an outflow of $3,568,505. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in the Partnership in subsequent periods.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) held by Partnership are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded in the statement of financial condition at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents market value for those commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available or other measures of fair value deemed appropriate by management of the General Partner for those commodity interests and foreign currencies for which market quotations are not readily available, including dealer quotes for swaps and certain option contracts. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the period. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on commodity interests and foreign currencies are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in net gains (losses) on trading of commodity interests. The investment in AAA Master, Willowbridge Master and Winton Master are recorded at fair value, based upon the Partnership's proportionate interest held.
Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Partnership agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Partnership's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting dates, is included in the statement of financial condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in the statements of income and expenses and partners' capital.
Results of Operations
During the Partnership's first quarter of 2006, the net asset value per Redeemable Unit increased 6.1% from $1,611.33 to $1,709.35 as compared to an increase of 8.9% in the first quarter of 2005. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the first
14
Table of Contentsquarter of 2006 of $17,257,573. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership's trading of energy, metals, indices and U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by losses in currencies, grains, livestock, non-U.S. interest rates and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the first quarter of 2005 of $15,239,059. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership's trading of commodity futures in energy, grains, U.S. interest rates, softs and indices and were partially offset by losses in currencies, non-U.S. interest rates, livestock and metals.
The main drivers of performance in the first quarter 2006 were strongly trending energy, metals and stock index markets. Adept trading in complex natural gas markets produced the greatest profits for the partnership.
With crude oil prices spurred by speculation and global political instability in oil-producing regions, expectations for higher interest rates fueled prices for gold and silver to over 20 year highs. Base metal, notably copper and zinc, which reached prices not seen in over 25 years, also contributed positively. While strongly trending markets in energy and metals produced profits, interest rates went through an adjustment period from prior trends which resulted in small profits for the Partnership. The U.S. dollar remained in a trading range for most of the quarter with its value versus both the euro and yen rising and falling within a range that resulted in losses for those Advisors whose trading systems tend to be longer term in nature. Foreign exchange trading generated the greatest losses for the quarter.
Counterintuitive to traditional market reactions to higher interest rates, global stock markets advanced as corporate earnings reports for full year 2005 met or exceeded expectations and consumer spending remained high despite increased energy prices and interest rates. The Partnership's Advisors were properly positioned to take advantage of these trends. Despite additional losses in grains, the Partnership had a substantially profitable quarter.
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. The potential for broad and rapid price fluctuations increases the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increases the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to correctly identify those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations. AAA is aware of price trends but does not trade upon trends. AAA often takes profits in positions with specific trends even though that trend may still be intact or perhaps even stronger. AAA occasionally establishes positions that are counter-trend.
Interest income is earned on 100% of the Partnership's average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. CGM may continue to maintain the Partnership's assets in cash and/or place all of the Partnership's assets in 90-day Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 100% of the interest earned on Treasury bills purchased. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased by $107,078 as compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The decrease is due to the Partnership's use of cash to fund additional investments in other partnerships. The interest earned at the Investment in Partnerships level is included in the Partnership's share of overall net income (loss) of the other partnerships in 2006 as compared to 2005.
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by the Advisors. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $745,434, as compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The increase in commissions and fees is primarily due to an increase in the number of trades during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the corresponding period in 2005.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership's net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions. Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $341,321, as compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The increase of management fees is due to an increase in net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the corresponding period in 2005.
15
Table of ContentsAdministrative fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the business and affairs of the Partnership. These fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership's net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Administrative fees for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $95,491, as compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The increase in administrative fees is due to an increase in net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the corresponding period in 2005.
Incentive fees paid by the Partnership are based on the new trading profits generated by each Advisor at the end of the quarter, as defined in the management agreements between the Partnership, the General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 resulted in incentive fees of $3,102,589 and $3,025,348, respectively.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership's main line of business.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects of the Partnership's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership's speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership's experience to date (i.e., "risk of ruin"). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership's losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership's attempts to manage its market risk.
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%-99% of any one-day interval. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component, which is not relevant to Value at Risk.

Table of ContentsThe following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership's investments and investments in other Partnerships by market category as of March 31, 2006 and the highest, lowest and average value during the three months ended March 31, 2006. All open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership's total capitalization was $211,974,901. There has been no material change in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
