BUSINESS. -------- (a). GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. Tudor Fund For Employees ------------------------------- L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on November 22, 1989. The business and objective of the Partnership is to generate appreciation of its assets through speculative trading of commodity futures, forwards and option contracts and other commodity interests ("commodity interests"). Only employees of Tudor Investment Corporation ("TIC") or its affiliates, and certain employee benefit plans of TIC or its affiliates, are eligible to become limited partners (each such owner a "Limited Partner") of the Partnership. Second Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner" and together with the Limited Partners, the "Partners"), is responsible for selecting and monitoring the commodity trading advisors and commodity brokers used by the Partnership and for performing all administrative services necessary to the Partnership's operations. The General Partner's main business office is located at 600 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, telephone (203) 863-6700, facsimile (203) 863-8600. In connection with a public offering of 10,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest (together with units of General Partnership Interest issued to the General Partner, the "Units"), an S-1 Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 1990. Beginning on June 22, 1990, the Partnership solicited initial subscriptions for Units at an offering price of $1,000 per Unit, with a minimum subscription of $1,000. At the initial closing held on July 2, 1990, the Partnership sold a total of 421 Units for an aggregate capital contribution of $421,000 and 400 units of general partnership interest for an aggregate capital contribution of $400,000 and commenced trading activities. The Partnership registered an additional 10,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest pursuant to an S-1 Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") that became effective on June 9, 1998. Units are offered for sale on a continuous basis (the "Continuing Offering") at quarterly closings at a purchase price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the opening of business on the first business day of the month in which the General Partner accepts the subscription. The minimum subscription is $1,000. Amounts in excess of this minimum must be contributed in increments of $1,000. Management. The General Partner conducts and manages the business of the - ---------- Partnership. The General Partner is authorized to delegate complete trading authority of all of the Partnership's Net Assets to one or more trading advisors. The General Partner has appointed TIC as the Partnership's sole trading advisor pursuant to a management agreement between TIC and the Partnership (the "Management Agreement"). The Management Agreement may be terminated at any time upon twenty-four hours written notice to the other party. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may engage and compensate from the funds of the Partnership, such persons as the General Partner deems advisable, including any person or entity affiliated with the General Partner. The General Partner is also authorized to retain commodity brokers. Other responsibilities of the General Partner include, but are not limited to, the following: determining whether the Partnership will make distributions; administering redemptions of Limited Partners' Units; preparing periodic and annual reports for the Limited Partners; preparing reports, filings, registrations and other documents required by applicable regulatory bodies, exchanges, or boards; depositing the Partnership's assets in an account or accounts at banks or brokers selected by the General Partner; directing the investment of the Partnership's assets; executing various documents on behalf of the Partnership and the Limited Partners; and supervising the liquidation of the Partnership if an event causes the termination of the Partnership to occur. Professional fees and other. The Partnership pays its ordinary administrative - --------------------------- expenses, including the ordinary and recurring legal, accounting and auditing expenses incurred in connection with preparing and printing reports and tax information for Limited Partners and regulatory bodies, and mailing costs and filing fees. Such expenses were $111,279, $120,599 and $88,989 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Compensation of the Trading Advisor. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the - ----------------------------------- Partnership pays TIC a quarterly incentive fee equal to 12% of the "Trading Profits" (as defined in the Registration Statement) earned as of the end of each fiscal quarter and receives a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 2% of the Net Assets (a 2% annual rate). Effective August 1, 1995, TIC waived its right to receive incentive and management fees attributable to Units held at the beginning of each month by the Tudor Investment Corporation 401(k) Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan (the "TIC 401(k) Plan"). For definitions of the terms "Management Agreement", "Trading Profits", "Charges and Expenses", "Trading Managers", "Net Asset Value per Unit" and "Net Assets", refer to the Registration Statement. The General Partner estimates that, considering the above charges, the Partnership may have to generate gross profits of up to approximately 2% of the Partnership's average annual Net Assets, depending on trading volume and the interest income it receives, simply to break even. It is contemplated that the greatest of these charges will be brokerage commissions (estimated at up to approximately 2% of the Partnership's average annual Net Assets) even though the General Partner endeavors to negotiate rates that are reasonable based on comparable commodity pools and industry standards. Commodity Brokers. The Partnership's commodity trading accounts are carried - ----------------- by its commodity brokers including Prudential Securities Incorporated, Bear Stearns Securities Corp., CS First Boston Corporation, Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Morgan Stanley & Co International Limited, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Cargill Investor Services, Inc., J.P. Morgan Futures, Inc., Merrill Lynch Futures Inc., Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., and Greenwich NatWest Futures. The General Partner in its sole discretion may at any time appoint new commodity brokers. The commodity brokers are responsible for holding and maintaining the Partnership's funds, securities, commodities and other property; executing and/or clearing trades for the Partnership's accounts; and performing other record keeping and preparing and transmitting to the Partnership daily confirmations of transactions and monthly statements of account, calculating equity balances and margin requirements for the Partnership's account and other similar administrative functions. Foreign Exchange Dealer. Since inception, the Partnership has engaged in the - ----------------------- trading of foreign exchange forward and commodity forward contracts with Bellwether Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("BPL"), or its predecessor Bellwether Partners Inc. BPL is an affiliate of both the General Partner and TIC. Regulation. Congress enacted the Commodity Exchange Act as amended, (the "CE - ---------- Act"), to regulate trading in commodity interests, the exchanges on which they are traded, the individual brokers who are members of such exchanges and the commodity professionals and commodity brokerage houses that trade in these commodity interests. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") is an independent federal agency which administers the CE Act and is authorized to promulgate rules thereunder. Under the CE Act, the CFTC is empowered, among other things to (i) hear and adjudicate customer complaints against all individuals and firms registered or subject to registration under the CE Act; (ii) seek injunctions and restraining orders; (iii) issue orders to cease and desist; and (iv) levy substantial fines. Transactions in spot or forward contracts or on exchanges located outside the United States may not be within the jurisdiction of the CFTC, and to the extent that the Partnership engages in such transactions, it may be engaging in "unregulated" transactions. Both the General Partner and TIC are registered with the CFTC as commodity pool operators ("CPO") and commodity trading advisors ("CTA") as defined in the CE Act. As such, each is subject to regulation by the CFTC. If the registration of the General Partner were suspended, revoked or not renewed, the Partnership would no longer be able to trade until a substitute general partner could be duly elected and registered. If the registration of TIC as a CTA was suspended, revoked or not renewed, TIC would not be permitted by the General Partner to advise the Partnership. The CFTC has adopted extensive regulations affecting CPOs and CTAs which, among other things, requires distribution of disclosure documents to new customers, requires the retention of current trading and other records, prohibits CPOs from commingling pool assets with those of the operator or its other customers and requires CPOs to provide their customers with monthly account statements and annual reports. Limited Partners are afforded certain rights for reparations under the CE Act. Limited Partners may also be able to maintain a private right of action for certain violations of the CE Act. The CFTC has adopted rules implementing the reparations provision of the CE Act which provide that any person may file a complaint for a reparation award with the CFTC for violation of the CE Act against a floor broker, futures commission merchant, CTA, CPO or their respective associated persons. In order to prevent excessive speculation and attempted undue concentrated control in certain markets ("market corners"), the CFTC and certain United States exchanges have imposed speculative position limits on transactions in certain commodity interest contracts. In addition, certain exchanges have set limits on the total net positions that may be held by a commodity broker. Position limits are subject to certain exemptions, such as bona fide hedging transactions. While foreign exchanges do not generally impose position limits, such limits are set by many of the member firms. The Partnership is subject to the rules and regulations of the various exchanges on which it trades. The General Partner is a member of the National Futures Association ("NFA"), a self-regulatory organization authorized by the CFTC. The NFA became operational in 1982 and has assumed certain functions which were previously the responsibility of the CFTC, (e.g., audits of registrants). Among other things, the NFA has assumed responsibility for all CFTC registrations; has developed training and proficiency standards for members; and has established arbitration procedures for its members and customers of its members. (b). FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS. The Partnership's --------------------------------------------- business constitutes only one segment, a speculative commodity pool, for financial reporting purposes. (c). NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. --------------------------------- (1) See discussion under Item 1 (a) above. (i) - (ix): Not applicable. (x) Competition. The Partnership experiences and will continue ----------- to experience competition from publicly and privately offered commodity pools and other investment funds, such as mutual funds. The Partnership also competes with other customers of TIC and with affiliates of the General Partner that trade proprietary trading accounts. Under TIC's trading method, all commodity- only accounts under management (other than proprietary accounts) are generally traded in a parallel fashion, with substantially equivalent trades made for all accounts on a proportional basis. When TIC trades commodity interest contracts on behalf of an investment pool or a customer with narrower or broader investment parameters, hedging, loss reduction, arbitrage and similar strategies often mandate that such accounts be traded in a manner that is not parallel with commodity-only accounts. Thus, the Partnership is in competition with such accounts for the same or similar positions at a particular time in a particular market. The widespread utilization of trend-based and technical computerized trading methods by many participants in the commodities markets causes similar trades to be made at or about the same time which increases competition for the Partnership as described above. The General Partner and TIC have a conflict of interest in managing the Partnership because BPL executes on foreign exchange forward contracts for the Partnership. This involves posting collateral with BPL in amounts of up to 5% of the Partnership's Net Assets. Although, BPL has unrestricted use of these funds, it does not receive a fee for its services. Many of the employee traders of the Trading Advisor are also employees of BPL. There is no affiliation, and consequently there is no conflict of interest, between the clearing brokers and the General Partner, TIC or BPL. The Partnership trades in markets in competition with other traders whose assets are greater than its assets. (xi) - (xii): Not applicable. (xiii): The Partnership has no employees; however, the General Partner has arranged for TIC to fulfill its management and administrative responsibilities. (d). FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CORPORATIONS AND ----------------------------------------------------------------- EXPORT SALES. The Partnership has engaged in the trading of commodity interest - ----------- contracts on exchanges located in foreign countries and has derived significant revenue therefrom. See Note 7 included in the Partnership's financial statements attached hereto. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. ---------- The Partnership does not utilize any physical properties in the conduct of its business. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. ----------------- The Partnership is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which it is a party or to which any of its assets are subject. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF UNIT HOLDERS. ----------------------------------------------- To date, there have been no items which have been presented to the Unit holders. PART II. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S UNITS AND RELATED UNIT HOLDER MATTERS. ------------------------------------------------------------- (a) MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S UNITS. There is no established public trading ----------------------------- market for the Units. There have been no general distributions by the Partnership since its organization. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the sole discretion to determine what distributions, if any, the Partnership will make to its Partners. Limited Partners may redeem some or all of their respective Units at the end of each calendar quarter. Redemption of Units in $1,000 increments and full redemption by a Limited Partner of all of its Units are made at 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit effective as of the last business day of any quarter as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Partial redemptions of Units which would reduce the Net Asset Value of a Limited Partner's unredeemed Units to less than the minimum investment then required of new Limited Partners or such Limited Partner's initial investment, whichever is less, will be honored only to the extent of such limitation. (b) USE OF PROCEEDS. The Partnership initially registered 10,000 Units of --------------- Limited Partnership Interest pursuant to a registration statement (Commission file number 33-33982) that was declared effective on June 22, 1990. The Partnership registered an additional 10,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest on June 9, 1998 (commission file number 333-52543). Of the 20,000 Units that have been registered, 10,469 Units having an aggregate value of $28,867,586 had been sold through January 1, 2000. ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND --------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. --------------------- The Partnership commenced operations on July 2, 1990. From inception through March 1, 2000, the Partnership received total Limited Partner contributions of $28,867,586. Total Limited Partner withdrawals for the same period were $23,171,276. In addition, the General Partner has contributed $1,900,000 since inception. The General Partner redeemed $2,000,000 on March 31, 1994 and $1,400,000 on December 31, 1996. The General Partner's equity interest in the Partnership as of March 1, 2000 was approximately $1,176,000, representing approximately 5.8% of the Partnership's equity. At March 1, 2000, the Partnership had a total of 103 Partners. As specified in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement dated May 22, 1996, the Partnership may accept investments from certain employee benefit plans of affiliates to the extent that such investment does not exceed 25% of the aggregate value of outstanding Units, excluding Units held by the General Partner and affiliates. On August 1, 1995, the Partnership accepted an initial investment of $99,306 from the Tudor Investment Corporation 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the "TIC 401(k) Plan"), a qualified plan organized for the benefit of employees of TIC and certain of its affiliates. The Partnership has received TIC 401(k) Plan contributions in the aggregate amount from inception through March 1, 2000 of $2,736,787. The TIC 401(k) Plan's equity in the Partnership as of March 1, 2000 was approximately $3,664,000, representing approximately 18.1% of the Partnership equity or approximately 20.0% of the Partnership equity excluding Units held by the General Partner and affiliates. TIC has waived its right to receive management and incentive fees attributable to Units held by the TIC 401(k) Plan. Furthermore, on August 1, 1995, BPL ceased charging commissions for transacting the Partnership's foreign exchange forward and commodity contracts. (1) LIQUIDITY. --------- The Partnership's assets are deposited and maintained with BPL, banks or in trading accounts with clearing brokers, and are used by the Partnership as margin and collateral to engage in futures, option, and forward contract trading. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are collateralized investment transactions and are carried at the amount the securities will be subsequently resold plus accrued interest, which approximates market. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, U.S. Government Securities purchased under agreements to resell maturing January 3, 2000 and January 4, 1999 represented approximately 70% and 69% of the total assets of the Partnership. The percentage that U.S. Government Securities purchased under agreements to resell bear to total assets varies daily and monthly, as the market value of commodity interest contract changes, U.S. Government Securities are resold, and as the Partnership sells or redeem Units. Since the Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in futures, options, forward contracts and other commodity interests contracts, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to maintain substantial liquid assets for margin purposes. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $842,756, $655,889, and $571,106 which represented 4.9%, 4.8%, and 4.9% of average net assets. In the context of the commodity or futures trading industry, cash and cash equivalents are part of the Partnership's inventory. Cash deposited with banks represented approximately 19% and 20% of the Partnership's total assets as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. The cash and U.S. Government securities purchased under agreements to resell satisfy the Partnership's need for cash on both a short term and long term basis. Since futures contract trading generates a significant percentage of the Partnership's income, any restriction or limit on that trading may render the Partnership's investment in futures contracts illiquid. Most commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Pursuant to such regulations, during a single trading day, no trade may be executed at a price beyond the daily limits. If the price for a contract or a particular commodity has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the "daily limit", positions in such contracts can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Commodity 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 positions. (2) CAPITAL RESOURCES. ----------------- The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any fixed assets. Redemptions and additional sales of Units in the future will impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity interest contracts in subsequent periods. As the amount of capital changes, the size of the positions taken by the Partnership is adjusted. The Partnership is currently open to new investments which can be made quarterly. Such investments are limited to employees of TIC and its affiliates and certain employee benefit plans, including, but not limited to, the TIC 401(k) Plan. (3) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. --------------------- The following table compares Net Asset Value per Unit for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Net Asset Value Increase in Net Asset Value per Per Unit Unit For the Year Ended ------------------ -------------------------------- $ % -------- ------- December 31, 1999 $5,736.93 $ 392.72 7.35% December 31, 1998 $5,344.21 $1,359.22 34.11% December 31, 1997 $3,984.99 $ 848.53 27.05% Net trading gains and losses (which includes realized and unrealized trading gains, losses and commissions ("Net Trading Gains")) from strategies that use a variety of derivative financial instruments are recorded in the statements of income. The following table summarizes the components (in thousands) of Net Trading Gains, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997: 1999 1998 1997 ----------- ---------- ----------- Exchange traded contracts: Interest rate futures and option contracts- Domestic $ 103 $ 1,072 $ 982 Foreign 388 2,181 413 Foreign exchange contracts (1,370) (219) 373 Equity index contracts- Domestic (621) 329 (4) Foreign 363 453 173 Over-the-counter contracts: Forward currency contracts 884 792 307 Commodity swaps 59 (350) (51) Equity index swaps (99) 82 (78) Interest rate swaps 236 - (64) Non-derivative financial instruments 981 (36) 552 --------- --------- --------- Total $ 924 $ 4,304 $ 2,603 ========= ========= ========= Since the Partnership is a speculative trader in the commodities markets, current year results are not comparable to results generated in previous years. The following table illustrates the Partnership's Net Trading Gains as a return on average Net Assets, brokerage commissions and fees as a percentage of average Net Assets, and incentive fees as a percentage of Net Trading Gains. For the Year Ended ------------------------------------------------- December 31, December 31, December 31, ------------- ------------- ------------- 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Net Trading Gains as a % of average Net Assets 5.31% 31.43% 22.3% Brokerage Commissions & Fees as a % of average Net Assets 1.2% 1.4% 1.6% Incentive Fees as a % of Net Trading Gains 6.73% 9.34% 5.9% In general, commission rates have remained stable during the past three years. Inflation is not expected to be a major factor in the Partnership's operations, except that traditionally commodity markets have tended to be more active, and thus potentially more profitable, during times of high inflation. Since the commencement of the Partnership's trading operations in July 1990, inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership's operations. (4) RISK MANAGEMENT. --------------- In the normal course of business, the Partnership is a party to a variety of off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with its trading activities. These activities include the trading of financial futures, forwards, swaps, exchange traded and negotiated over-the-counter options and other commodity interests. These financial instruments give rise to market and credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. The Partnership is subject to market and credit risk associated with changes in the value of underlying financial instruments, as well as the loss of appreciation on certain instruments, if its counterparty fails to perform. TIC takes an active role in managing and controlling the Partnership's market and credit risks and has established formal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. TIC attempts to minimize credit risk exposure to trading counterparties and brokers through formal credit policies and monitoring procedures. TIC has a formal Credit Committee, comprised of senior managers from different disciplines throughout the firm, that meets regularly to analyze the credit risks associated with the Partnership's counterparties, intermediaries and service providers. TIC establishes counterparty exposure limits and specifically designates which product types are approved for trading. In order to control the Partnership's market exposure, TIC applies risk management guidelines and policies designed to protect the Partnership's capital. These guidelines and policies include quantitative and qualitative criteria for evaluating the appropriate risk levels for the Partnership. TIC's Risk Management Committee, comprised of senior personnel from different disciplines throughout the firm, regularly assesses and evaluates the Partnership's potential exposures to the financial markets based on analysis done by the Risk management Department. The Risk Management Department's responsibilities include: focusing on the positions taken in various instruments and markets globally; ascertaining that all such positions are accurately reflected on the Partnership's position reports; and evaluating the risk exposure associated with all of those positions. The Partnership uses a statistical technique known as Value at Risk ("VaR") to assist the Risk Management Department in measuring its exposure to market risk related to its trading positions. The VaR model projects potential losses in the portfolio and is based on a methodology which uses a one-year observation period of hypothetical daily changes in trading portfolio value, a one-day holding period and one standard deviation level. These figures can be scaled-up to indicate risk exposure at the 95% or 99% confidence level. Cash and due from brokers are due principally from high credit quality international financial institutions. Exchange traded futures and option contracts are marked-to-market daily, with variations in value settled on a daily basis with the exchange upon which they are traded and with the futures commission merchant through which the commodity futures and options contracts are executed. Forward contracts are generally settled with the counterparty two days after the trade. In general, exchange traded futures and option contracts possess low credit risk as most exchanges act as principal to a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM") on all commodity transactions. Furthermore, most global exchanges require FCMs to segregate client funds to ensure ample customer protection in the event of an FCMs default. The Partnership monitors the creditworthiness of its FCMs and, when deemed necessary, reduces its exposure to these FCMs. The Partnership's credit risk associated with the nonperformance of these FCMs in fulfilling contractual obligations can be directly impacted by volatile financial markets. A substantial portion of the Partnership's open financial futures positions were transacted with major international FCMs. BPL is the Partnership's primary forward contract counterparty (Note 6 of the attached Financial Statements). Notwithstanding the risk monitoring and credit review performed by TIC with respect to its FCMs and counterparties, including BPL, there is always a risk of nonperformance. Generally, financial contracts can be closed out at TIC's discretion. An illiquid or closed market, however, could prevent the closeout of positions. The following table illustrates the VaR for each component of market risk as of December 31, 1999. The dollar values represent the VaR scaled up to a 95% confidence level. VaR Risk Factors (95% Confidence) ------------ ---------------------------- Exchange traded contracts: Interest rate futures and option contracts- Domestic $ 166,815 Foreign 7,095 Foreign exchange contracts 32,505 Equity index futures- Domestic 1,485 Foreign 116,655 Non-derivative financial instruments 60,885 ---------- $ 385,440 ---------- ITEM 8.

TUDOR FUND FOR EMPLOYEES L.P. ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, AND 1997 --------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ------------------------- Tudor Fund For Employees L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Act") on November 22, 1989, and commenced trading operations on July 2, 1990. Second Management LLC (the "General Partner") is the general partner of the Partnership. Tudor Investment Corporation ("TIC"), an affiliate of the General Partner, acts as the trading advisor of the Partnership. Ownership of limited partnership units is restricted to either employees of TIC and its principals or its affiliates. The objective of the Partnership is to realize capital appreciation through speculative trading of commodity futures, forwards, option contracts and other commodity interests ("commodity interests"). The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2010 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement dated as of May 22, 1996 ("the Limited Partnership Agreement"). Duties of the General Partner - ----------------------------- The General Partner acts as the commodity pool operator of the Partnership and is responsible for the selection and monitoring of the commodity trading advisors and the commodity brokers used by the Partnership. The General Partner is also responsible for the performance of all administrative services necessary to the Partnership's operations. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Revenue Recognition - ------------------- Commodity interests are recorded on the trade date at the transacted contract price and are valued at market or fair value. Brokerage Commissions and Fees - ------------------------------ These expenses represent all brokerage commissions, exchange, National Futures Association and other fees incurred in connection with the execution of commodity interests trades. Commissions and fees associated with open commodity interests at the end of the period are accrued. Incentive Fee - ------------- The Partnership pays TIC, as trading advisor, an incentive fee equal to 12% of the Net Trading Profits (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement), earned as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Partnership. Effective August 1, 1995, TIC has waived its right to receive an incentive fee attributable to units held at the beginning of each month by the TIC 401(k) Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan (the "TIC 401(k) Plan"). Management Fee - -------------- The Partnership also pays TIC, for the performance of its duties, a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (2% per annum) of the Partnership's net assets (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement). Effective August 1, 1995, TIC waived its right to receive a management fee attributable to units held at the beginning of each month by the TIC 401(k) Plan. Foreign Currency Translation - ---------------------------- Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year-end exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are calculated using daily exchange rates and are included in the accompanying statements of operations. U.S. Government Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell - --------------------------------------------------------------- Securities purchased under agreements to resell are collateralized investment transactions and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently resold plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These transactions are part of the Partnership's operating activities, and it is the policy of the Partnership to take possession or control of all underlying assets and to use such assets as collateral in connection with its trading. Due from Brokers - ---------------- Due from brokers includes forward contracts pending settlement as well as cash, foreign currencies and margin balances. Pending Partner Additions - ------------------------- Pending partner additions is comprised of cash received prior to year-end for which shares were issued on January 1 of the subsequent year. Pending partner additions did not participate in the earnings of the Partnership until the related shares were issued. Use of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent, however, actual results could differ from these estimates. 3. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS ---------------- The minimum subscription amount is $1,000 for new Limited Partners. Additional contributions may be made in increments of $1,000. Both subscriptions and contributions may be made quarterly, at the beginning of the respective month. Each partner, including the General Partner, has a capital account with an initial balance equal to the amount such partner paid for its units. The Partnership's net assets are determined monthly, and any increase or decrease from the end of the preceding month is added to or subtracted from the capital accounts of the partners based on the ratio that the balance of each capital account bears in relation to the balance of all capital accounts as of the beginning of the month. The number of units held by the TIC 401(k) Plan will be restated as necessary for management and incentive fees attributable to units held at the beginning of each month by the TIC 401(k) Plan to equate the per unit value of the TIC 401(k) Plan's capital account with the Partnership's per unit value. 4. REDEMPTION OF UNITS ------------------- At each quarter-end, units are redeemable at the discretion of each Limited Partner. Redemption of units in $1,000 increments and full redemption of all units are made at 100% of the net asset value per unit effective as of the last business day of any quarter as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Partial redemptions of units which would reduce the net asset value of a Limited Partner's unredeemed units to less than the minimum investment then required of new Limited Partners or such Limited Partner's initial investment, whichever is less, will be honored only to the extent of such limitation. 5. INCOME TAXES ------------ No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Partners are responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of revenue and expenses of the Partnership. 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- The General Partner, due to its relationship with its affiliates and certain other parties, may enter into certain related party transactions. Bellwether Partners LLC ("BPL"), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the General Partner, is the Partnership's primary forward contract counterparty. Effective August 1, 1995, BPL ceased charging commissions for transacting the Partnership's foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts. The Partnership typically has on deposit with BPL, as collateral for forward contracts, up to 5% of the Partnership's net assets. During 1999, 1998, and 1997 the Partnership received $30,518, $60,264 and $55,229 in interest income for the amounts on deposit with BPL. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the amounts on deposit with BPL were $540,796 and $657,501 (including $74,335 and $82,643 in unrealized gains) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET MARKET RISK AND CONCENTRATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------- OF CREDIT RISK -------------- During June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The statement requires the Partnership to recognize all derivatives in the statements of financial condition at fair value with adjustments to fair value recorded through income. SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of Effective Date of SFAS No. 133," amended SFAS No. 133 to be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001, for all companies with calendar-year fiscal years). The Partnership has elected early adoption of SFAS No. 133 and, accordingly, its standards are applied in the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership has always maintained a policy of valuing its commodity interests at market values or estimated fair values and of including any unrealized gains and losses in results of operations. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 has not resulted in a valuation or an accounting change in the accompanying financial statements. In the normal course of business, the Partnership is a party to a variety of off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with its trading activities. These activities include the trading of financial futures, forwards, swaps, exchange-traded and negotiated over-the-counter options and other commodity interests. These financial instruments give rise to market and credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. The Partnership is subject to market and credit risk associated with changes in the value of underlying financial instruments, as well as the loss of appreciation on certain instruments, if its counterparties fail to perform. TIC takes an active role in managing and controlling the Partnership's market and credit risks and has established formal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. TIC attempts to minimize credit risk exposure to trading counterparties and brokers through formal credit policies and monitoring procedures. In order to control the Partnerships market exposure, TIC applies risk management guidelines and policies designed to protect the Partnership's capital. These guidelines and policies include quantitative and qualitative criteria for evaluating the appropriate risk levels for the Partnership. TIC's Risk Management Committee, comprised of principals from different disciplines throughout the firm, regularly assesses and evaluates the Partnership's potential exposures to the financial markets based on analysis provided by the Risk Management Department. The Risk Management Department's responsibilities include focusing on the positions taken in various instruments and markets globally; ascertaining that all such positions are accurately reflected on the Partnership's position reports; and evaluating the risk exposure associated with all of those positions. The Partnership uses a statistical technique known as Value at Risk ("VaR") to assist the Risk Management Department in measuring its exposure to market risk related to its trading positions. The VaR model projects potential losses in the portfolio and is based on a methodology which uses a one-year observation period of hypothetical daily changes in trading portfolio value, a one-day holding period and one standard deviation level. These figures can be scaled-up to indicate risk exposure at the 95% or 99% confidence level. Cash and due from brokers are due principally from high credit quality international financial institutions. Exchange traded futures and option contracts are marked-to-market daily, with variations in value settled on a daily basis with the exchange upon which they are traded and with the futures commission merchant through which the commodity futures and options are cleared. Forwards are generally settled with the counterparties two days after the trade date. In general, exchange traded futures and option contracts possess low credit risk as most exchanges act as principal to a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM") on all commodity transactions. Furthermore, most global exchanges require FCMs to segregate client funds to ensure ample customer protection in the event of an FCMs default. The Partnership monitors the creditworthiness of its FCMs and, when deemed necessary, reduces its exposure to these FCMs. The Partnership's credit risk associated with the nonperformance of these FCMs in fulfilling contractual obligations can be directly impacted by volatile financial markets. A substantial portion of the Partnership's open financial futures positions were transacted with major international FCMs. BPL is the Partnership's primary forward contract counterparty (Note 6). Notwithstanding the risk monitoring and credit review performed by TIC with respect to its FCMs and counterparties, including BPL, there is always a risk of nonperformance. Generally, financial contracts can be closed out at TIC's discretion. An illiquid or closed market, however, could prevent the closeout of positions. TIC has a formal Credit Committee, comprised of senior managers from different disciplines throughout the firm, that meets approximately once per month to analyze the credit risk associated with the Partnership's counterparties, intermediaries and service providers. A significant portion of the Partnership's positions are invested with or held at institutions with high credit standing. TIC establishes counterparty exposure limits and specifically designates which product types are approved for trading.
