Detailed performance information for each Fund is located in the body of the
financial report. For each Fund, we provide a trading results by sector chart
that portrays trading gains and trading losses for the previous month and
year-to-date in each sector in which the Fund participates. In the case of
Spectrum Currency, we provide the trading gains and trading losses for the five
major currencies in which the Fund participates, and composite information for
all other "minor" currencies traded within the Fund.
The trading results by sector charts indicate the monthly and year-to-date
composite percentage returns generated by the specific assets dedicated to
trading within each market sector in which each Fund participates. Please note
that there is not an equal amount of assets in each market sector, and the
specific allocations of assets by a Fund to each sector will vary over time
within a predetermined range. Below each chart is a description of the factors
that influenced trading gains and trading losses within each Fund during the
previous month.
Limited Partners are advised of the following changes to the Board of
Directors of Demeter Management Corporation (the "General Partner"), effective
June 30, 2003:
Mr. Robert E. Murray resigned the position of Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the General Partner.
Mr. Jeffrey A. Rothman, President and Director of the General Partner, was
named Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Partner.

FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING LOSSES:
> Losses resulted from short positions in the Japanese yen and Singapore dollar
versus the U.S. dollar as the values of both Asian currencies strengthened
after the Bank of Japan reiterated its commitment to its monetary easing
policy.
> Additional losses were incurred from long positions in the Swiss franc versus
the U.S. dollar as the franc's value moved lower during mid-month amid
investor focus on the pace of the U.S. economic recovery.
FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING GAINS:
> Long positions in the Thai baht versus the U.S. dollar resulted in gains as
the baht's value approached new highs in response to steady capital inflows
prompted by the improving Thai economy and the rise in value of the Japanese
yen.
> Additional gains were provided from short positions in the Mexican peso
versus the U.S. dollar as the peso's value weakened to a five-month low
versus the dollar during the last week of August in response to a growing
Mexican trade deficit.
> Other gains in this sector resulted from long positions in the South African
rand versus the U.S. dollar as the rand's value was buoyed by strong exports
and a high South African interest rate environment.

Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest

FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING GAINS:
> In the global stock index markets, gains were experienced from long positions
in Japanese stock index futures as Japanese equity prices drew strength from
robust Japanese economic data and gains in the U.S. equity markets.
Additional gains were generated from long positions in U.S. stock index
futures as positive sentiment and tangible signs of a U.S. economic recovery
buoyed prices.
> In the global interest rate markets, gains were recorded from short positions
in Australian interest rate futures as prices trended lower on the heels of
lower Japanese bond prices, rising yields, and strong Australian equity
prices. Further gains were supplied from short positions in U.S. interest
rate futures as prices drifted lower during mid-month in response to the
release of positive U.S. economic data.
FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING LOSSES:
> In the agricultural markets, losses stemmed from short positions in corn
futures as prices reversed higher amid supply fears prompted by weak U.S.
harvest expectations and weather related concerns.
> In the currency markets, losses resulted from positions in the New Zealand
dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the New Zealand dollar moved
without consistent direction in the latter half of the month. Additional
losses stemmed from long positions in the euro versus the Canadian dollar as
the value of the Canadian currency strengthened amid rising commodity prices.

Australian interest rate futures also yielded gains as prices declined on the
heels of lower Japanese bond prices, rising yields, and strong Australian
equity prices.
> In the energy markets, gains resulted from long futures positions in unleaded
gas and crude oil as prices trended higher in response to an increase in
petroleum demand spurred by signs of a global economic recovery.
FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING LOSSES:

aluminum, zinc and copper as prices were weighed down by heavy
technically-based selling and expectations for increased output during 2004.

its related products as prices increased amid a surge in speculative buying.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION. Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P. ("Spectrum Currency"),
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. ("Spectrum Global Balanced"),
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. ("Spectrum Select"), Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Strategic L.P. ("Spectrum Strategic") and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P.
("Spectrum Technical") (individually, a "Partnership" or collectively, the
"Partnerships"), are limited partnerships organized to engage primarily in the
speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and
forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests,
including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments,
metals, energy and agricultural products (collectively, "futures interests").
The Partnerships' general partner is Demeter Management Corporation
("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley DW Inc.
("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated ("MS & Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited
("MSIL"). Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co. and MSIL are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each
Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Demeter and the Limited Partners
based upon their proportional ownership interests.
USE OF ESTIMATES. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. Management believes
that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are
prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures interests are open commitments until settlement
date. They are valued at market on a daily basis and the resulting net change in
unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized profits
(losses) on open contracts from one period to the next in the statements of
operations. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW pays each Partnership interest income
based upon 80% of the month's average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the
limited partnership agreements) for the month in the case of Spectrum Currency,
Spectrum Select,
<PAGE>
MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CONTINUED)
Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical, and on 100% in the case of Spectrum
Global Balanced. The interest rate is equal to a prevailing rate on U.S.
Treasury bills. For purposes of such interest payments, Net Assets do not
include monies owed to the Partnerships on futures interests.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership
interest ("Unit(s)") is computed using the weighted average number of Units
outstanding during the period.
BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. The brokerage fees for
Spectrum Currency and Spectrum Global Balanced are accrued at a flat monthly
rate of 1/12 of 4.6% (a 4.6% annual rate) of Net Assets as of the first day of
each month.
Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical
are accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 7.25% (a 7.25% annual rate) of Net
Assets as of the first day of each month.
Such brokerage fees currently cover all brokerage commissions, transaction
fees and costs, and ordinary administrative and continuing offering expenses.
OPERATING EXPENSES. The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may incur
incentive fees. All common administrative and continuing offering expenses
including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees and other related expenses
are borne by Morgan Stanley DW through the brokerage fees paid by the
Partnerships.
INCOME TAXES. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying
financial statements, as partners are individually responsible for reporting
income or loss based upon their respective share of each Partnership's revenues
and expenses for income tax purposes.
DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a
pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Demeter. No distributions have been
made to date.
CONTINUING OFFERING. Units of each Partnership are offered at a price equal to
100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the close of business on the last day
of the month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing
offering of Units are paid by the Limited Partners or the Partnerships. Morgan
Stanley DW pays all such costs.

MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CONTINUED)
REDEMPTIONS. Limited Partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of
the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of the last day of any month that is
at least six months after the closing at which a person becomes a Limited
Partner, upon five business days advance notice by redemption form to Demeter.
Thereafter, Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month
after such Units were purchased will be subject to a redemption charge equal to
2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date of such redemption. Units
redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day
of the twenty-fourth month after which such Units were purchased will be subject
to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date
of such redemption. Units redeemed after the last day of the twenty-fourth month
after which such Units were purchased will not be subject to a redemption
charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to Morgan Stanley DW.
Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of 50 Units, unless
a Limited Partner is redeeming his entire interest in a Partnership.
EXCHANGES. On the last day of the first month which occurs more than six months
after a person first becomes a Limited Partner in any of the Partnerships, and
at the end of each month thereafter, Limited Partners may exchange their
investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain restrictions outlined in
the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying additional charges.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Global Balanced,
Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical will terminate on December 31, 2035
and Spectrum Select will terminate on December 31, 2025, regardless of financial
condition at such time, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as
defined in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.
