Form 10-Q Part 1 Item 2 Management's Discussion
THE FOUR SEASONS FUND II L.P.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING
RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTH AND THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND
1998:
(A) SEPT 30, SEPT 30,
1999 1998
------------ ----------
PARTNERS' CAPITAL $ 2,064,850 $ 2,189,431
For the nine month period ending September 30, 1999, Partners'
Capital decreased $ 149,187 due primarily to capital withdrawals
of $ 91,979, capital distributions of $ 73,991, and operating
expenses of $ 87,107. The decrease in capital resulting from
capital withdrawals, capital distributions, and operating expenses
was partially offset by the increase in accrued interest of the
Treasury strip securities of $ 88,126 and the realized trading
gains of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and
currency forwards of $ 1,534. Largest gains in futures trading
were concentrated in S&P 500 index contracts.
In comparison, for the nine month period ending September 30,
1998, Partner's Capital decreased $ 476,170 due mainly to capital
redemptions of $ 585,504, capital distributions of $ 95,551,
and operating expenses of $ 110,731. The decrease in capital was
partially offset with realized and unrealized trading gains of
$ 189,497, and the increase of accrued interest in the U.S.
Treasury strips of $ 107,496. The majority of realized and
unrealized gains in futures trading were recognized in S&P 500
Index contracts, Deutsche Mark contracts, and French Matif bonds.
For the three month period ending September 30, 1999, Partners'
Capital decreased $ 12,170 , due primarily to net options premiums
of $ (15,260) and operating expenses of $ 28,082. The decrease in
capital was partially offset by the increase in accrued interest
of the Treasury strip securities of $ 29,395. Largest losses in
futures trading and options on futures trading were recognized in
the S&P 500 index contracts and 10-year Treasury note contracts.
For the three month period ended September 30, 1998, Partners'
Capital decreased $ 251,618, due mainly to net withdrawals of
$ 332,724 and operating expenses of $ 38,561. The decrease in
capital resulting from capital withdrawals and operating expenses
was partially offset by the appreciation in the value of the U.S.
Treasury Strip securities' accreted interest of $ 34,509, as well
as the unrealized and realized trading profits of futures
contracts, options on futures contracts, and currency forwards of
$ 74,723. Largest gains were attributed to trading in the
financials sector, where gains in Eurodollars, French Matif Bonds,
DTB 5-year Bonds, Simex Government Bonds, Italian Government
Bonds, and CBOT 5-year Bonds were recognized.
(B) The U.S. Treasury Strip Securities are valued at the lower of
cost plus accrued interest or market value. As of September 30,
1999, the cost plus accrued interest value (as shown on the
Combined Statements of Financial Condition) of the U.S. Treasury
Strip Securities is $ 1,776,953 and the value of said securities
at market value is $ 1,828,519. As of December 31, 1998, the
value of the U.S. Treasury Strip Securities at cost plus accrued
interest was $ 1,854,829 and the market value was $ 2,007,822.
(C) With respect to the Year 2000 Computer Issue, the Four Seasons
Fund II LP and James River Capital Corp. are essentially impacted
by three components with respect to being "Y2K compliant": a) a
third party accounting system, Commodity Accounting Systems
("CAS") (b) the operating systems of the futures clearing broker,
ED&F Man International, and (c) the internally developed systems
at James River Capital Corp. ("JRCC"). As of September 30, 1999,
CAS, ED&F Man International, and JRCC are confident that all
components of its Year 2000 preparedness will be operational in
January, 2000; however, the failure of securities and commodity
exchanges, clearing organizations, vendors, clients, and
regulators to resolve their own computer application issues in a
timely manner could result in material financial risk to the
Partnership.
