NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P. — SERIES A AND B
1. Nature of operations
Organization and Business
Superfund Gold, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the “Fund”), commenced operations on April 1, 2009. The Fund was organized to trade speculatively in the United States and international commodity futures and forwards markets using a strategy developed by Superfund Capital Management, Inc., the general partner and trading advisor of the Fund (“Superfund Capital Management”). The Fund has issued two series of units of limited partnership interest (“Units”), each with a subseries, Series A-1/A-2 and Series B-1/B-2 (each a “Series”). Series A-1/A-2 and Series B-1/B-2 are traded and managed the same way, with the exception of the degree of leverage.
The term of the Fund commenced on the day on which the Certificate of Limited Partnership was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and shall end upon the first to occur of the following: (i) receipt by Superfund Capital Management of an approval to dissolve the Fund at a specified time by Limited Partners owning Units representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Units of each Series then owned by Limited Partners of each Series, notice of which is sent by certified mail return receipt requested to Superfund Capital Management not less than 90 days prior to the effective date of such dissolution; (ii) withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of Superfund Capital Management or any other event that causes Superfund Capital Management to cease to be the general partner of the Fund, unless (a) at the time of each event there is at least one remaining general partner of the Fund who carries on the business of the Fund (and each remaining general partner of the Fund is hereby authorized to carry on the business of general partner of the Fund in such an event), or (b) within 120 days after such event Limited Partners of a Series holding a majority of Units of such Series agree in writing to continue the business of the Fund and such Series and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of one or more general partners of the Fund and such Series; (iii) a decline in the aggregate net assets of each Series to less than $500,000 at any time following commencement of trading in the Series; or (iv) any other event which shall make it unlawful for the existence of the Fund to be continued or which requires termination of the Fund.
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 United States of America 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.
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 based upon market quotes on the last business day of the period. 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 the U.S. Treasury Bills due to the short term nature of such investments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates fair value.

Table of Contents
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.
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.
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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 to the Fund, and has determined 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 position are required to be recorded as a result of the application of ASC 740. The Fund 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 2008 through 2009 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Superfund Capital Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, income and expenses, as well as the other disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASC 105.10.05
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105.10.05, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105.10.05”). ASC 105.10.05 establishes the FASB ASC as the single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to the provisions of ASC 105.10.05, the Fund has updated references to GAAP in its financial statements issued subsequent to September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105.10.05 did not have any impact on the Fund’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
ASC 810
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810,Consolidation(“ASC 810”). ASC 810 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting rights should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. ASC 810 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. Superfund Capital Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASC 810 on the Fund’s financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements
The Fund follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 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; | ||
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 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 that may be held by the Fund 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 positions are typically classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of and during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts valued using level 3 inputs.
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 only changed 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 where 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.

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 for each Series.
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 forwards 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, including information related to the 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, if any, represent margin borrowings that are collateralized by certain securities.
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 Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement (the “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 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 2.25% of month end net assets (2.25% per annum) and ongoing offering expenses equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of month end net assets (0.75% per annum), not to exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred. In accordance with the Prospectus dated November 3, 2009, included within the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-151632 as subsequently supplemented), Superfund USA, Inc., an entity related to Superfund Capital Management by common ownership (“Superfund USA”), shall be paid selling commissions equal to 2% of the month-end net asset value per Series A-1 Unit and Series B-1 Unit (one-twelfth of 2% per month). These amounts are included under “Selling commissions” in the Statements of Operations. However, the maximum cumulative selling commission per Unit is limited to 10% of the gross offering proceeds price of such Unit.
Superfund Capital Management will also be paid a monthly performance fee equal to 25% of any new appreciation without respect to interest income. Trading losses will be carried forward and no further performance fee may be paid until the prior losses have been recovered.

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.
For Series A, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were $164,886 and ($6,208), respectively at September 30, 2009.
For Series B, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were $1,236,292 and ($211,785), respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange traded forwards were $68,664 and ($65,719), respectively, at September 30, 2009.
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., Newedge Alternative Strategies, Inc., and Rosenthal Collins Group LLC.
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 September 30, 2009. 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 subscriptions funds are required to be promptly transmitted to HSBC Bank USA, as escrow agent. 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 subscription funds returned.
Limited Partners may request any or all of their 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 the month, subject to a minimum redemption of $1,000. A request for less than a full redemption that would reduce a Limited Partner’s remaining investment to less than $5,000 will be treated as a request for full redemption. 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 20 days after the effective date of the 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, and Limited Partners will be paid their pro rata portion of the redemption amount not subject to defaults or delays.
11. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through November 16, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
INTRODUCTION
The Fund commenced the offering of its Units on February 17, 2009. The initial offering terminated on March 31, 2009, and the Fund commenced operations on April 1, 2009. The continuing offering period commenced at the termination of the initial offering period and is ongoing. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, subscriptions totaling $2,032,479 have been accepted and no redemptions were made over the same period. The Fund is a commodity pool which will trade pursuant to Superfund Capital Management’s diversified futures and forward trend-following trading program while maintaining an investment in gold approximately equal to the total capital of each Series as of the beginning of operations and, thereafter, as of the beginning of each month. The gold investment is intended to delink each Series’ net asset value, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, from the value of the U.S. dollar relative to gold, essentially denominating the Series’ net asset value in terms of gold.
LIQUIDITY
Most United States 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
23
Table of Contents
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 United States person.
Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Fund’s futures 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 3rd Quarter 2009:
In September, world bond markets finished on the upside after better than expected economic data was discounted as several global central banks weighed the withdrawal of economic stimulus packages. These conditions led the Fund’s long positions in the bond sector to an overall gain. Global short-term interest rate futures continued their strong upward trend as inflation fears weakened and sustainability of the economic recovery came into question. Three month eurodollar futures extended their upside move after the Federal Open Market Committee kept rates at record lows in an effort to combat a 26-year high in unemployment. The Fund’s long positions produced gains in the interest rates sector. The U.S. dollar established new lows for the year in September, falling 2% as investors around the world aggressively borrowed the low yielding currency to finance purchases of assets in countries offering higher yields. Emerging South American currencies continued to shine due to their relatively high yields. The Colombian peso and Brazilian real finished 6.8% and 6.0% higher, respectively. The Fund’s short positions in the U.S. dollar led to gains in the currencies sector. November crude oil finished near unchanged as existing homes sales and consumer confidence came in well below expectations. Crude inventories continued to expand as demand remained weak. The Fund’s short energy positions produced
24
Table of Contents
losses on the month. December gold futures finished 5.9% higher, closing above the significant $1000 mark. December silver futures also attracted investment demand, finishing 11.6% higher on the month. The Fund’s long metals positions produced an overall gain.
In August, world bond markets moved steadily higher as perceptions surrounding economic data shifted. U.S. Treasury bonds attracted steady buying in the latter half of the month as retail sales missed forecasts and producer prices fell more than expected. These developments led the Fund’s long positions in the interest rate sector to an overall gain. The U.S. dollar remained near its lows for the year as risk appetite remained elevated, while the British pound and Canadian dollar finished down 2.5% and 1.1%, respectively. The Fund’s short positions in U.S. dollar led to an overall gain. Crude oil finished down 1.7%, while natural gas lost 23.3%. The Fund’s short positions in the energy sector lead to an overall gain. October gold continued to trade sideways between $900-$1000, while London copper, nickel and lead finished 12.6%, 6.7% and 12.2% higher, respectively. The Fund’s short positions in the metals sector led to an overall loss. Hog futures continued their steady drive lower, finishing down 10.5%. Sugar and coffee finished 30.1% and 7.6% higher, respectively. The Fund’s mix of long and short positions in the agriculture sector resulted in an overall gain.
In July, global stock markets continued to advance as many markets rose to new multi-month highs. China’s Shenzen 300 finished 15% higher, while Germany’s DAX, London’s FTSE and France’s CAC40 established new highs, rising between 8% and 11%. Short positions in the stock indices sector produced relatively large losses for the month. The Canadian dollar surged, finishing 7% higher, and the Norwegian krona, Brazilian real and Australian dollar finished 5%, 4.4% and 3.6% higher, respectively. These conditions led the Fund’s long positions in the U.S. dollar to an overall loss. Gold gained slightly in July as investors continued to search for conviction on short-term price action. U.S. dollar weakness combined with an inflationary Producer Price Index report caused December gold futures to experience a 2.8% gain. Industrial metals continued to trend higher with London copper leading the way, finishing 15.2% higher. The Fund’s short positions in metals led to an overall loss.
For the third quarter of 2009, the most profitable market sector for the Fund on an overall basis was the interest rates sector, while the greatest losses resulted from the Fund’s positions in the stock indices sector.
Three Months ended June 30, 2009
Series A:
Net results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were a loss of 1.64% in the net asset value per Unit of Series A-1 units and a gain of 2.83% in the net asset value per Unit of Series A-2 units. In this period, Series A experienced a net decrease in net assets from operations of $24,116. This decrease consisted of interest income of $278, trading losses of $7,727, and total expenses of $16,667. Expenses included $6,574 in management fees, $5,669 in selling commissions (for Series A-1 units), $2,191 in operating expenses, $2,146 in brokerage commissions, and $87 in other expenses. At June 30, 2009, the net asset value per Unit of Series A-1 was $904.47 and the net asset value per Unit of Series A-2 was 945.55.
Series B:
Net results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were a loss of 8.97% in the net asset value per Unit of series A-1 and a loss of 8.51% in the net asset value per Unit in Series B-2. In this period, Series B experienced a net decrease in net assets from operations of $385,682. This decrease consisted of interest income of $575, trading losses of $324,589, and total expenses of $61,668. Expenses included $25,570 in brokerage commissions, $18,520 in management fees, $10,390 in selling commissions (for Series B-1 units), $6,173 in operating expenses, and $1,015 in other expenses. At June 30, 2009, the net asset value per Unit of Series B-1 was $837.01 and the net asset value per Unit of Series B-2 was 841.22.
Fund results for 2nd Quarter 2009:
In June, U.S. stock indices finished near unchanged, while most Asian stock indices finished higher; Hong Kong’s Chinese Enterprise Index rose 6.1%. The Fund’s short positions in the stock indices sector experienced a loss. World bond markets reversed early month lows by month end, finishing higher as improving bond yields and a stagnating equity rally attracted buyers. The Fund’s long positions in the bonds sector led to a gain. U.S. and European short-term interest rate futures finished slightly higher in June, recovering from a substantial early
25
Table of Contents
month selloff. The Fund’s long positions during the earlier part of the month resulted in losses. The Australian dollar finished the month 1.2% higher, while the British pound finished 2.0% higher. The Fund’s long positions in the U.S. dollar led to a loss. December wheat contracts plunged, losing 17.5% as the global recession continued to destroy demand. The Fund’s short positions in the grains sector produced gains. London copper added 3.7%, while lead also rose 8.9% as Chinese auto sales soared. London nickel finished up 10% as Chinese imports for the first 4 months of 2009 exceeded 2008 levels by 16%. The Fund’s short positions in the metals sector resulted in losses. U.S. August crude oil futures added 4.1% despite rising inventories as Chinese buying supported values. The Fund’s short positions in the energy sector produced losses. August gold futures finished the month 5.4% lower based on positive sentiment associated with better than expected U.S. employment figures and positive retail sales. The Fund’s long gold position led to a loss. Other market sectors, relative to the sectors mentioned above, did not reveal significant trends and did not have a substantial influence on this month’s overall negative performance.
In May, world bond markets traded dramatically lower as burgeoning budget deficits led to heavy bond issuance, foreshadowing long-term inflation. U.S. 30-year bond futures, German Bund futures, and Japanese 10-year bond futures traded to their lowest levels since November 2008. The Fund’s long positions in the bonds sector resulted in losses. Emerging market strength contributed to a steep selloff in U.S. treasuries, resulting in a 6.2% loss for the U.S. dollar index. The Brazilian real and the Australian dollar were up 10% and 13.2%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. The Fund’s long positions in the U.S. dollar produced losses. Despite crude demand falling more than 7.5% from last year, inventories declined, leading to a 24.8% gain for July crude futures. The Fund’s short positions in this sector incurred relatively large losses. August gold futures rallied steadily throughout the month of May, finishing 9.6% higher at $980. The Fund’s long gold position produced substantial gains. Other market sectors did not reveal significant trends and did not have a significant influence on this month’s overall negative performance.
In April, the S&P 500 Index rose 9.4% led by bank stocks as a relaxation of marked-to-market accounting rules in the U.S. and strong earnings from favorable spreads created by cheap central bank liquidity supported values. The Fund’s short stock indices positions led to a relatively large loss. World bond markets tracked steadily lower in April as money flowed out of low yielding treasuries and into equities. The Fund’s long positions in the bonds sector produced an overall loss. The U.S. dollar index finished down 1.2% while the euro moved sideways as capital moved out of the U.S. and European Union amid unattractive treasury yields. The Hungarian forint, Polish zloty and Czech koruna gained 6.0%, 4.6% and 2.1%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar while the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real finished up 5.0%, 5.5% and 5.7%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. The Fund’s long positions in the U.S. dollar lead to an overall loss for the currency sector. Positive economic signals from the G20 meeting and the resulting rise in world equity markets were offset by rising inventories as global energy demand continued to contract. June natural gas prices continued lower, posting a 13.8% loss as storage increased to nearly 34% greater than a year ago and 23% greater than the five-year moving average. The Fund’s short positions in the energy sector produced a relatively large gain. June gold futures opened April with a 6.5% loss as assurances from the G-20 that the IMF/World Bank will receive $1.1 trillion in capital diminished the need for a safe haven from faltering financial markets. The precious metal moved sideways from there, straddling the $900 level, as news that the Chinese plan to continue building gold reserves was offset by poor physical demand data out of India. The Fund’s long gold position produced a loss. Other market sectors did not reveal significant trends and did not have a substantial influence on April’s overall negative performance.
For the second quarter of 2009, the most profitable market sector for the Fund on an overall basis was the interest rates sector, while the greatest losses resulted from the Fund’s 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 and forward 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
26
Table of Contents
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 United States 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 (contacts 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. The Financial Statements of Series A and Series B each present a Condensed Schedule of Investments setting forth net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such Series’ open futures and other contracts at September 30, 2009.
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, accordingly, 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 STANDARDS
ASC 105.10.05
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105.10.05, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105.10.05”). ASC 105.10.05 establishes the FASB ASC as the single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to the provisions of ASC 105.10.05, the Fund has updated references to GAAP in its financial statements issued subsequent to September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105.10.05 did not have any impact on the Fund’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
ASC 810
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810,Consolidation. ASC 810 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting rights should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. ASC 810 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. Superfund Capital Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASC 810 on the Fund’s financial statements.
