HATTERAS MASTER FUND, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION

     Hatteras Master Fund, L.P. (the "Master Fund") was organized as a limited
     partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 29, 2004.
     The Master Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
     amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end, non-diversified management
     investment company. The Master Fund is managed by Hatteras Investment
     Partners, LLC (the "Investment Manager"), a Delaware limited liability
     company registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers
     Act of 1940, as amended. The objective of the Master Fund is to generate
     consistent long-term appreciation and returns across all market cycles. To
     achieve its objective, the Master Fund will provide its limited partners
     (each, a "Limited Partner" and together, the "Limited Partners") with
     access to a broad range of investment strategies and asset categories,
     trading advisors ("Advisors") and overall asset allocation services
     typically available on a collective basis to larger institutions.
     Generally, the Investment Manager intends to select Advisors that
     collectively employ widely diversified investment strategies and engage in
     such techniques as opportunistic equity, enhanced fixed income, absolute
     return, private equity, real estate and energy/natural resources. However,
     the Investment Manager may also retain Advisors who utilize other
     strategies. The Master Fund invests with each Advisor either by becoming a
     participant in an investment vehicle operated by the Advisor (an
     "Underlying Fund") or by placing assets in an account directly managed by
     the Advisor. The Master Fund commenced operations on January 1, 2005. Prior
     to January 1, 2005, the Master Fund engaged in no transactions other than
     those related to organizational matters and the sale of a $100,000 interest
     to Hatteras Diversified Strategies Fund, LP.

     Hatteras Investment Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
     serves as the General Partner of the Master Fund (the "General Partner").
     The General Partner has initially appointed a Board of Directors (the
     "Board") and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, has
     irrevocably delegated to the Board its rights and powers to monitor and
     oversee the business affairs of the Master Fund, including the complete and
     exclusive authority to oversee and establish policies regarding the
     management, conduct and operation of the Master Fund's business.

     On January 3, 2005, the Master Fund received capital contributions totaling
     $116,269,458, including contributions in the form of transfers-in-kind from
     Hatteras Diversified Strategies Fund, LP and Hatteras Diversified
     Strategies Offshore Fund, Ltd. for $72,386,769 and $16,620,182,
     respectively. In addition, the Hatteras Diversified Strategies Offshore
     Fund, Ltd. transferred receivables in the amount of $17,242,388 and
     liquidated $10,020,119 of the Fund's securities at December 31, 2004 and
     reinvested the proceeds in the Master Fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
     following is a summary of significant accounting and reporting policies
     used in preparing the financial statement.


                                        9



HATTERAS MASTER FUND, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     A. INVESTMENT VALUATION - INVESTMENTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS

     The Master Fund will value interests in the Underlying Funds at fair value,
     which ordinarily will be the value determined by their respective
     investment managers, in accordance with procedures established by the
     Board. Investments in Underlying Funds are subject to the terms of the
     Underlying Funds' offering documents. Valuations of the Underlying Funds
     may be subject to estimates and are net of management and performance
     incentive fees or allocations payable to the Underlying Funds' as required
     by the Underlying Funds' offering documents. If the Investment Manager
     determines that the most recent value reported by the Underlying Fund does
     not represent fair value or if the Underlying Fund fails to report a value
     to the Master Fund, a fair value determination is made under procedures
     established by and under the general supervision of the Board. Because of
     the inherent uncertainty in valuation, the estimated values may differ from
     the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities
     existed, and the differences could be material.

     B. INVESTMENT INCOME

     Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is
     recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from
     private equity investments are recorded as soon as the information is
     available to the Master Fund. The Underlying Funds generally do not make
     regular cash distributions of income and gains and so are generally
     considered non-income producing securities, however the Master Fund owns
     securities that are income producing and disburse regular cash
     distributions.

     C. FUND EXPENSES

     The Master Fund will bear all expenses incurred in the business of the
     Master Fund, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and
     expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Master
     Fund's account; legal fees; accounting and auditing fees; costs of
     insurance; registration expenses; certain offering and organization costs;
     and expenses of meetings of the Board.

     D. INCOME TAXES

     The Master Fund is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes
     and therefore not subject to federal income tax. For income tax purposes,
     the individual partners will be taxed upon their distributive share of each
     item of the Master Fund's income, gain, loss, deductions and credits.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     E. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents includes amounts held in interest bearing demand
     deposit accounts. At September 30, 2007, the Master Fund held $830,438 in
     interest bearing demand deposit accounts. Such cash, at times, may exceed
     federally insured limits. The Master Fund has not experienced any losses in
     such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit
     risk on such bank deposits.

     F. USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
     Master Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
     and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period.
     Actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. ALLOCATION OF PARTNERS' CAPITAL

     Net profits or net losses of the Master Fund for each Allocation Period (as
     defined below) will be allocated among and credited to or debited against
     the capital accounts of the Limited Partners. Allocation Periods begin on
     the day after the last day of the preceding Allocation Period and end at
     the close of business on (1) the last day of each month, (2) the last day
     of each taxable year; (3) the day preceding each day on which interests are
     purchased, (4) the day on which interests are repurchased, or (5) the day
     on which any amount is credited to or debited from the capital account of
     any Limited Partner other than an amount to be credited to or debited from
     the capital accounts of all Limited Partners in accordance with their
     respective investment percentages.

4. MANAGEMENT FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

     The Investment Manager is responsible for providing day-to-day investment
     management services to the Master Fund, subject to the ultimate supervision
     of and subject to any policies established by the Board, pursuant to the
     terms of an investment management agreement with the Master Fund (the
     "Investment Management Agreement"). Under the Investment Management
     Agreement, the Investment Manager is responsible for developing,
     implementing and supervising the Master Fund's investment program.

     In consideration for such services, the Master Fund pays the Investment
     Manager a monthly management fee equal to 1/12th of 1.00% (1.00% on an
     annualized basis) of the aggregate value of its partners' capital
     determined as of the last day of the month (before repurchase of
     interests).

HATTERAS MASTER FUND, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

4. MANAGEMENT FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER (CONTINUED)

     Each member of the Board who is not an "interested person" of the Master
     Fund (the "Independent Board"), as defined by the 1940 Act, receives an
     annual retainer of $15,000. All Board members are reimbursed by the Master
     Fund for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in
     performing their duties.

     UMB Bank, n.a. serves as custodian of the Master Fund's assets and provides
     custodial services for the Master Fund. UMB Fund Services, Inc. serves as
     administrator and accounting agent to the Master Fund and provides certain
     accounting, record keeping and investor related services. The Master Fund
     pays a monthly fee to the administrator based upon average partners'
     capital, subject to certain minimums.

5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

     Total purchases of Underlying Funds for the period ended September 30, 2007
     amounted to $259,482,116. Total proceeds from redemptions of Underlying
     Funds for the period ended September 30, 2007 amounted to $17,496,226. The
     cost of investments in Underlying Funds for federal income tax purposes is
     adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Master Fund from the
     Underlying Funds.

6. RISK FACTORS

     An investment in the Master Fund involves significant risks that should be
     carefully considered prior to investing and should only be considered by
     persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can afford a
     loss of a substantial part or all of such investment. The Master Fund
     intends to invest substantially all of its available capital in securities
     of private investment companies. These investments will generally be
     restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods or
     are not traded in public markets at all, so that the Master Fund may not be
     able to resell some of its securities holdings for extended periods, which
     may be several years. Investments in the Underlying Funds may be restricted
     from early redemptions or subject to fees for early redemptions as part of
     contractual obligations agreed to by the Advisor on behalf of the Master
     Fund. Underlying Funds generally require the Advisor to provide advanced
     notice of its intent to redeem the Master Fund's total or partial interest
     and may delay or deny a redemption request depending on the Underlying
     Funds' governing agreements. No guarantee or representation is made that
     the investment objective will be met.

7. LINE OF CREDIT

     On May 1, 2006, the Master Fund entered into a $20,000,000 unsecured,
     uncommitted revolving loan facility ("Facility"), for the purpose to
     finance short timing differences between the redemption of investments or
     receipt of partnership capital and the redemption of partnership capital
     accounts; the investment in new managers; or as general working capital.
     The facility was increased for a ninety day period on October 1, 2007 to
     $65,000,000 and will be reduced to $30,000,000 on November 26, 2007. A fee
     of 37.5 basis points per annum is payable quarterly in arrears on the
     unused portion of the Facility. Borrowings are charged an interest rate at
     a base rate less 75 basis points. The base rate is the greater of a) the
     prime commercial rate as announced from time to time, or b) the Federal
     Funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, calculated on a 360-day basis and payable
     monthly in arrears. At September 30, 2007 the Master Fund had $20,000,000
     in borrowings outstanding under the Facility and $19,430 in fees and
     interest payable. The average interest rate, the average daily balance, and
     the maximum balance outstanding for borrowings under the Facility for the
     period ended September 30, 2007 was 7.50%, $677,596, and $20,000,000,
     respectively.

8. REPURCHASE OF PARTNERS' INTERESTS

     The Board may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, cause the
     Master Fund to repurchase interests from Limited Partners pursuant to
     written tenders by Limited Partners at such times and on such terms and
     conditions as established by the Board. In determining whether the Master
     Fund should offer to repurchase interests, the Board will consider the
     recommendation of the Investment Manager. On March 31, 2006, the Investment
     Manager recommended to the Board that the Master Fund offer to repurchase
     interests from Limited Partners on a quarterly basis as of March 31, June
     30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The Master Fund does not
     intend to distribute to the partners any of the Master Fund's income, but
     generally expects to reinvest substantially all income and gains allocable
     to the partners. A partner may, therefore, be allocated taxable income and
     gains and not receive any cash distribution.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

     In the normal course of business, the Master Fund enters into contracts
     that provide general indemnifications. The Master Fund's maximum exposure
     under these agreements is dependent on future claims that may be made
     against the Master Fund, and therefore cannot be established; however,
     based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered
     remote.

10. COMMITMENTS

     As of September 30, 2007, the Master Fund had outstanding investment
     commitments to Underlying Funds totaling $ 109,958,424.

11. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

     The financial highlights are intended to help you understand the Master
     Fund's financial performance for the past period. The total returns in the
     table represent the rate that a typical Limited Partner would be expected
     to have earned or lost on an investment in the Master Fund. The ratios and
     total return amounts are calculated based on the Limited Partner group
     taken as a whole. An individual Limited Partner's results may vary from
     those shown below due to the timing of capital transactions.

     The ratios are calculated by dividing total dollars of net investment
     income or expenses, as applicable, by the average of total monthly limited
     partners' capital. The ratios do not reflect the Master Fund's
     proportionate share of income and expenses from Underlying Funds.

     Total return amounts are calculated by geometrically linking returns based
     on the change in value during each accounting period. The total return
     amounts have not been annualized for the periods less than a year.

12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
     Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (the "Interpretation"). The
     Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through
     entities such as the Master Fund, a minimum threshold for financial
     statements recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax
     returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular
     jurisdiction), and required certain expanded tax disclosures. The
     Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
     2006 and is required to be implemented no later than September 30, 2007.
     Management has recently begun to evaluate the application of the
     Interpretation to the Master Fund, and is not in a position at this time to
     estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Master Fund's
     financial statements.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," (the "Statement"). The
     Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
     value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands
     disclosures about fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1)
     market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from
     sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs). The
     Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
     beginning after November 15, 2007, and is to be applied prospectively as of
     the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially
     applied. Management has recently begun to evaluate the application of the
     Statement to the Master Fund, and is not in a position at this time to
     evaluate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Master Fund's
     financial statements.

     Agreement, the "Agreements") by and between the Hatteras Multi-Strategy TEI
     Fund, L.P. (the "TEI Fund" and, together with the Master Fund, the

ANNUAL RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     At a meeting of the Board of the Master Fund held on February 28, 2007, by
     a unanimous vote, the Board of the Master Fund, including a majority of the
     Directors who are not "interested persons" within the meaning of Section
     2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, approved the continuation of the Investment
     Management Agreement (the "Agreement").

     In advance of the meeting, the Independent Directors requested and received
     extensive materials from the Investment Manager to assist them in
     considering the renewal of the Agreement. The materials provided by the
     Investment Manager contained information including detailed comparative
     information relating to the performance, advisory fees and other expenses
     of the Master Fund and the Limited Partners of the Master Fund managed by
     the Investment Manager (collectively, the "Funds"). The materials also
     included comparisons of the performance of each of the Master Fund's
     investment sectors versus a relevant benchmark.

     The Board engaged in a detailed discussion of the materials with management
     of the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors then met separately
     with independent counsel to the Independent Directors for a full review of
     the materials. Following this session, the full Board reconvened and after
     further discussion determined that the information presented provided a
     sufficient basis upon which to approve the continuation of the Agreement.

     DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

     The Board reviewed various materials relating to the Investment Manager,
     including materials furnished by the Investment Manager. These materials
     included information about the Investment Manager's personnel,
     organizational structure, operations and financial condition. Management
     discussed with the Independent Directors the Investment Manager's business
     plans regarding ownership of the Manager, stability and retention of
     management and improvements in the Funds' distribution and marketing.

     The Board considered, among other things, various matters relating to the
     organizational capabilities of the Investment Manager, including: (1) the
     nature and stability of the ownership of the Investment Manager; (2) the
     nature of the Investment Manager's portfolio management experience and
     resources, including the experience of relevant personnel; and (3) the
     Investment Manager's resources, practices and procedures to address
     regulatory compliance matters.

     The Board concluded that the Investment Manager has sufficient resources to
     fulfill effectively the Investment Manager's duties under the Agreement.

     The Board also considered other information, including: (1) the terms of
     the Agreement; (2) the standard of care applicable to the Investment
     Manager under the Agreement; (3) information regarding the performance of
     and fees paid by certain similar private funds managed by the Investment
     Manager; (4) information compiled by the Investment Manager intended to
     gauge the

ANNUAL RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

     behavior of the Investment Manager's portfolio management strategy during
     periods of historical or hypothetical market stress; (5) the Funds'
     investment performance and expense ratios and the investment performance
     and expense ratios of other investment companies with similar investment
     styles to the Funds; and (6) the structure of, and the method used to
     determine, the compensation of portfolio managers.

     The Board gave consideration to the fees payable under the Agreement,
     including: (1) the fees to be paid to the Investment Manager and the
     Investment Manager's anticipated expenses in providing its services, and
     the fact that certain affiliates of the Investment Manager provide other
     services to the Funds and receive payment for these services; and (2) a
     comparison of the fees payable under the Agreement to fees paid under
     investment advisory agreements to investment advisers serving other
     investment companies with similar investment programs to the Master Fund,
     which assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of the fees to be
     paid to the Investment Manager.

     The Board also considered possible economies of scale that might be
     recognized in the future at different asset levels. In this regard the
     Board considered the amount of assets in the Master Fund; the placement
     agent agreements currently in force to increase the Funds' penetration in
     various distribution channels; the information provided by the Investment
     Manager relating to its estimated costs; and information comparing the fee
     rate to be charged by the Investment Manager (which does not include fee
     breakpoints) with fee rates charged by other unaffiliated investment
     managers to their clients. The Board considered all factors and no one
     factor alone was deemed dispositive.
