(a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (Unaudited) A. General These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Prudential-Bache Capital Return Futures Fund L.P. (the 'Partnership') as of September 30, 1999 and the results of its operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. However, the operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1998 (the 'Annual Report'). In accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership, if the Partnership's net asset value declines below $10 million, the Partnership will dissolve. B. Related Parties Seaport Futures Management, Inc. (the 'General Partner') and its affiliates perform services for the Partnership which include, but are not limited to: brokerage services, accounting and financial management, registrar, transfer and assignment functions, investor communications, printing and other administrative services. The costs incurred for these services for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were: 1999 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commissions $847,739 $912,052 General and administrative 52,845 68,850 -------- -------- $900,584 $980,902 -------- -------- -------- -------- The costs incurred for these services for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were: 1999 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commissions $273,314 $286,552 General and administrative 21,637 23,123 -------- -------- $294,951 $309,675 -------- -------- -------- -------- The Partnership's assets are maintained either in trading or cash accounts with Prudential Securities Incorporated ('PSI'), the Partnership's commodity broker, or for margin purposes, with the various exchanges on which the Partnership is permitted to trade. The Partnership, acting through its trading manager, executes over-the-counter, spot, forward and/or option foreign exchange transactions with PSI. PSI then engages in back-to-back trading with an affiliate, Prudential-Bache Global Markets Inc. ('PBGM'). PBGM attempts to earn a profit on such transactions. PBGM keeps its prices on foreign currency competitive with other interbank currency trading desks. All over-the-counter currency transactions are conducted between PSI and the Partnership pursuant to a line of credit. PSI may require that collateral be posted against the marked-to-market positions of the Partnership. 4 C. Credit and Market Risk Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk). Futures, forward and options contracts involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk; and changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or the market values of the contracts (or commodities underlying the contracts) frequently result in changes in the Partnership's unrealized gain (loss) on open commodity positions reflected in the statements of financial condition. The Partnership's exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors including the relationships among the contracts held by the Partnership as well as the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded. Futures and options contracts are traded on organized exchanges and are thus distinguished from forward contracts which are entered into privately by the parties. The credit risks associated with futures and options contracts are typically perceived to be less than those associated with forward contracts, because exchanges typically provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the collective credit (subject to certain limitations) of the members of the exchanges is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange. On the other hand, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its broker (PSI) with respect to forward transactions. The Partnership presents unrealized gains and losses on open forward positions, if any, as a net amount in the statements of financial condition because it has a master netting agreement with PSI. The General Partner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring the Partnership and its trading manager to abide by various trading limitations and policies. The General Partner monitors compliance with these trading limitations and policies which include, but are not limited to, executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties (currently, PSI is the sole counterparty or broker); limiting the amount of margin or premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions. Additionally, the Advisory Agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and the trading manager may be terminated if the net asset value allocated to the trading manager as of the last day of the then current year declines by 40% from the beginning of any year and will terminate automatically if the net asset value declines by 33 1/3% since the initial allocation of assets to the trading manager (September 1, 1990). Furthermore, the Agreement of Limited Partnership provides that the Partnership will liquidate its positions, and eventually dissolve, if the Partnership experiences a decline in the net asset value of 50% since the commencement of trading activities. In each case, the decline in the net asset value is after giving effect for distributions and redemptions. The General Partner may impose additional restrictions (through modifications of such trading limitations and policies) upon the trading activities of the trading manager as it, in good faith, deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership. PSI, when acting as the Partnership's futures commission merchant in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures and options contracts, is required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission ('CFTC') regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the Partnership all assets of the Partnership relating to domestic futures and options trading and is not to commingle such assets with other assets of PSI. At September 30, 1999, such segregated assets totalled $10,757,527. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires PSI to secure assets of the Partnership related to foreign futures and options trading which totalled $2,328,998 at September 30, 1999. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading. As of September 30, 1999, the Partnership's open futures and forward contracts mature within one year. 5 At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, gross contract amounts of open futures and forward contracts were: 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ Currency Forward Contracts: Commitments to purchase $ 13,055,835 $ 546,406 Commitments to sell 6,410,579 1,960,358 Currency Futures Contracts: Commitments to purchase 15,294,075 5,617,987 Commitments to sell -- 4,238,887 Financial Futures Contracts: Commitments to purchase 88,940,677 39,193,849 Commitments to sell 38,605,136 83,475,164 Other Futures Contracts: Commitments to purchase 2,275,910 1,139,330 Commitments to sell 3,646,955 3,588,609 The gross contract amounts represent the Partnership's potential involvement in a particular class of financial instrument (if it were to take or make delivery on an underlying futures or forward contract). The gross contract amounts significantly exceed the future cash requirements as the Partnership intends to close out open positions prior to settlement and thus is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such, the Partnership considers the 'fair value' of its futures and forward contracts to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. Thus, the amount at risk associated with counterparty nonperformance of all contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition. The market risk associated with the Partnership's commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross contract amounts involved, while the market risk associated with its commitments to sell is unlimited since the Partnership's potential involvement is to make delivery of an underlying commodity at the contract price; therefore, it must repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the fair value of open futures and forward contracts was: 1999 1998 -------------------------- -------------------------- Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Futures Contracts: Domestic exchanges Financial $ 4,125 $ 42,437 $ 9,844 $ 106,650 Currencies 96,838 2,300 178,225 41,112 Other 125,944 440,266 114,222 42,294 Foreign exchanges Financial 123,701 55,169 1,080,633 88,960 Other 45,842 2,005 29,238 4,015 Forward Contracts: Currencies 119,158 154,853 6,297 127,472 ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- $ 515,608 $ 697,030 $1,418,459 $ 410,503 ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- 6 The following table presents the average fair values of futures and forward contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 1999 1998 -------------------------- -------------------------- Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Futures Contracts: Domestic exchanges Financial $ 64,348 $ 31,290 $ 135,466 $ 14,696 Currencies 188,814 30,422 -- -- Other 117,976 86,287 263,626 57,433 Foreign exchanges Financial 503,612 59,087 390,855 67,305 Currencies -- -- -- -- Other 29,542 26,712 20,953 10,589 Forward Contracts: Currencies 321,721 263,274 442,497 566,172 ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- $1,226,013 $ 497,072 $1,253,397 $ 716,195 ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- The following table presents the average fair values of futures and forward contracts during the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 1999 1998 -------------------------- -------------------------- Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Futures Contracts: Domestic exchanges Financial $ 66,329 $ 38,244 $ 230,157 $ 12,560 Currencies 194,788 31,190 -- -- Other 145,411 141,753 210,101 51,768 Foreign exchanges Financial 387,196 47,581 580,654 89,016 Other 29,127 47,481 23,335 13,945 Forward Contracts: Currencies 176,861 290,480 281,485 876,308 ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- $ 999,712 $ 596,729 $1,325,732 $ 1,043,597 ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- The following table presents the Partnership's trading revenues for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

(a limited partnership) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership commenced operations on May 12, 1989 with gross proceeds of $139,151,000. After accounting for organizational and offering costs, the Partnership's net proceeds were $137,151,000. At September 30, 1999, 100% of the Partnership's total net assets were allocated to commodities trading. A significant portion of the net asset value was held in U.S. Treasury bills (which represented approximately 83% of the net asset value prior to redemptions payable) and cash, which are used as margin for the Partnership's trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the sole business of the Partnership is to trade in commodities, the Partnership continues to own such liquid assets to be used as margin. The percentage that U.S. Treasury bills bears to the net asset value varies each day, and from month to month, as the market value of commodity interests change. All interest earned on the Partnership's interest-bearing funds is paid to the Partnership. The commodities contracts are subject to periods of illiquidity because of market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example, commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in commodity futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as 'daily limits.' During a single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its commodity futures positions. Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk). The Partnership's exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors including the volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded and the relationships among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of the Partnership's speculative trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could result in monthly losses considerably beyond the Partnership's experience to date and could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially all of investors' capital. The General Partner attempts to minimize these risks by requiring the Partnership and its trading manager to abide by various trading limitations and policies, which include limiting margin amounts, trading only in liquid markets and utilizing stop loss provisions. See Note C to the financial statements for a further discussion on the credit and market risks associated with the Partnership's futures and forward contracts. Redemptions by limited partners for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 were $1,774,463 and $555,163, respectively. Redemptions by the General Partner recorded for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 were $17,887 and $5,596, respectively. Redemptions by limited partners and the General Partner from commencement of operations, May 12, 1989, through September 30, 1999 totalled $144,102,476 and $1,636,811, respectively. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods. The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets. In accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership, if the Partnership's net asset value declines below $10 million, the Partnership will dissolve. Results of Operations The net asset value per Unit as of September 30, 1999 was $139.91, a decrease of 4.35% from the December 31, 1998 net asset value per Unit of $146.27, and a decrease of 7.83% from the June 30, 1999 net asset value per Unit of $151.79. 8 Quarterly Market Overview During the quarter, global financial markets experienced heavy volatility. In July, U.S. Federal Reserve policy gave markets a boost. However, record trade deficits, higher employment costs, fears of inflation and higher interest rates in the U.S. quickly caused a reversal in U.S. stock and bond markets. Global stock and bond markets followed U.S. markets demonstrating increased volatility. The U.S. dollar also experienced fluctuations throughout the quarter as signs of a stronger U.S. economy versus the European community supported the dollar's rise to new highs against most major currencies. However, later in the quarter as a record trade gap and stronger than expected European economic data were reported, the U.S. dollar came under pressure and continued to fall against most major currencies and to record lows against the Japanese yen. In the commodities markets, energy prices rose as OPEC members agreed to maintain cuts in oil output. The metal sector experienced extreme movement as gold prices rose to a two-year high following reports that 15 European central banks would limit sales and retain higher gold reserves. Quarterly Partnership Performance Trading in the financial sector incurred losses for the Partnership due to positions in Japanese government bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds. Global interest rate markets followed the lead of the U.S. bond market as rates moved higher. On August 24th, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to increase the U.S. federal funds rate by 25 basis points. In Japan, long-term interest rates rose during the first half of the quarter on concerns that more government bonds may be issued to finance the bailout of weaker Japanese banks. Losses were incurred in the metal sector due to short gold and silver positions. The European Central Bank's decision to limit both gold sales and lending triggered strong movement in the gold market. Gold prices rose to two-year highs over a ten-day period, causing short positions to incur losses for the Partnership. Silver prices moved in conjunction with gold prices as they rallied towards the quarter end. Sydney Futures Exchange (Australia) and Nikkei Dow (Japan) positions accumulated losses in the index sector. Australian markets were trendless, as strong economic activity was counteracted by Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) statements suggesting that the RBA did not need to follow the U.S. by raising interest rates. In Japan, the Nikkei Dow moved sideways and downward though not demonstrating a bear trend, closing lower by quarter end. Long corn positions in the grain sector also experienced losses. Corn reached an eleven-year low as ideal weather conditions prevailed in the early part of the quarter improving the outlook for a large crop. In the currency sector, positions in the Swiss franc and the Euro recorded losses for the Partnership. The Swiss franc bottomed out early in the quarter after trading passed an 8-year low against the U.S. dollar. It had moved in sync with the Euro in the first half of the quarter until the Euro surged against the U.S. dollar. The strengthening Euro was short lived as investors unloaded Euros for a stronger Japanese yen. Profits were derived from long positions in the energy sector as light crude and crude oil prices rose. OPEC's production cuts continued to prove effective for oil markets. Expectations that current output levels could be maintained for the foreseeable future also contributed to the bullish sentiment. Interest income is earned on the Partnership's investment in U.S. Treasury bills and, therefore, varies monthly based on interest rates as well as the effect of trading performance and redemptions on the level of funds available for investment in U.S. Treasury bills. Interest income from U.S. Treasury bills decreased by $93,000 and $18,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998 due to the effect of lower interest rates during 1999 as well as the effect of fewer funds available for investments in U.S. Treasury bills resulting from the liquidation of such investments for the payment of redemptions. Commissions are calculated on the net asset value on the first day of each month and, therefore, vary based on monthly trading performance and redemptions. Commissions decreased by $64,000 and $13,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998 primarily due to the effect of redemptions on the monthly net asset values. All trading decisions are currently made by John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (the 'Trading Manager'). Management fees are calculated on the net asset value as of the end of each month and, therefore, are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Management fees decreased by $34,000 and $15,000 for 9 the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998 for the same reasons commissions decreased as discussed above. Incentive fees are based on New High Net Trading Profits generated by the Trading Manager, as defined in the Advisory Agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and the Trading Manager. No incentive fees were earned for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. General and administrative expenses decreased by $11,000 but increased by $4,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998. These expenses include reimbursements of cost incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership in addition to accounting, audit, tax and legal fees as well as printing and postage costs related to reports sent to limited partners. Year 2000 Risk A discussion of Year 2000 risk and its effect on the operations of the Partnership is included in the Partnership's Annual Report. ITEM 3.
