JWH GLOBAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001

(1) General Information and Summary
JWH Global Trust (the Trust), a Delaware business trust organized on November 12, 1996, was formed to engage in the speculative trading of futures contracts on currencies, interest rates, energy and agricultural products, metals and stock indices, spot and forward contracts on currencies and precious metals, and exchanges for physicals pursuant to the trading instructions of independent trading advisors. The Managing Owner of the Trust is CIS Investments, Inc. (CISI). The clearing broker is Cargill Investor Services, Inc. (Clearing Broker or CIS), the parent company of CISI. The broker for forward contracts is CIS Financial Services, Inc. (CISFS or Forward Currency Broker), an affiliate of CISI. The Clearing Broker and the Forwards Currency Broker will collectively be referred to as the Brokers.
Units of beneficial ownership of the Trust commenced selling on April 3, 1997 and trading began on June 2, 1997. The initial amount offered for investment was $50,000,000. On September 26, 1997, the Trust registered an additional $155,000,000 for further investment and continued the offering. By June 30, 2001, a total of 1,168,196.33 units representing an investment for $123,432,654 of beneficial ownership interest had been sold in the combined offerings. In addition, during the offerings, the Managing Owner purchased a total of 8,602.73 units, representing a total investment of $885,058. See the JWH Global Trust prospectus for further details of the offering.
The Trust will be terminated on December 31, 2026, if none of the following occur prior to that date: (1) beneficial owners holding more than 50% of the outstanding units notify the Managing Owner to dissolve the Trust as of a specific date; (2) disassociation of the Managing Owner with the Trust; (3) bankruptcy of the Trust; (4) a decrease in the net asset value to less than $2,500,000; (5) a decline in the net asset value per unit to $50 or less; (6) dissolution of the Trust; or (7) any event that would make it unlawful for the existence of the Trust to be continued or require dissolution of the Trust.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Trust conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices in the commodities industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies that the Trust follows in preparing its financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities, and related options are recorded on the trade date. All such transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis and marked to market daily. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts reflected in the statements of financial condition represent the difference between original contract amount and market value (as determined by exchange settlement prices for futures contracts and related options and cash dealer prices at a predetermined time for forward contracts, physical commodities, and their related options) as of the last business day of the year or as of the last date of the financial statements.
The Trust earns interest on its assets on deposit at the Brokers at 100% of the 91-day Treasury bill rate for deposits denominated in U.S. dollars, and at the rates agreed between the Trust and CIS and CISFS for deposits denominated in other currencies.
Redemptions
A beneficial owner may cause any or all of his or her units to be redeemed by the Trust effective as of the last trading day of any month of the Trust based on the net asset value per unit on five days' written notice to the Managing Owner. Payment will be made within ten business days of the effective date of the redemption. Any redemption made during the first 11 months of investment is subject to a 3% redemption penalty. Any redemption made in the 12th month of investment or later will not be subject to any penalty. The Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust contains a full description of redemption and distribution policies.
Organizational and Offering Costs
Initial organizational and offering costs advanced to the Trust are being amortized over the first 60 months of the Trust's operations, subject to a maximum monthly payment of 1/60 of 2% of the month-end net assets. Ongoing offering costs, subject to a ceiling of 0.5% of the Trust's average month-end net assets, are paid by the Trust and expensed as incurred.
Commissions
Commodity brokerage commissions are typically paid for each trade transacted and are referred to as "round-turn commissions." These commissions cover both the initial purchase (or sale) and the subsequent offsetting sale (or purchase) of a commodity futures contract. The Trust does not pay commodity brokerage commissions on a per-trade basis, but rather pays monthly flat-rate Brokerage Fees at the annual rate of 6.5% (or a monthly rate of approximately 0.542%) of the Trust's average month-end assets after reduction of the management fee. CIS receives these brokerage fees irrespective of the number of trades executed on the Trust's behalf. The amount paid to CIS is reduced by exchange fees paid by the Trust.
Certain large investors are eligible for a "Special Brokerage Fee Rate" of 5% per year. As of June 30, 2001, there were no such eligible investors in the Trust.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Trading accounts in foreign currency denominations are susceptible to both movements in the underlying contract markets as well as fluctuation in currency rates. Translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for closed positions are translated at an average exchange rate for the year, while year-end balances are translated at the year-end currency rates. The impact of the translation is reflected in the statements of operations.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes cash on deposit with the Brokers in the commodity futures trading accounts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(3) Fees
Management fees are accrued and paid monthly, incentive fees are accrued monthly and paid quarterly. Trading decisions for the period of these financial statements were made by John W. Henry and Company, Inc. (JWH) utilizing three of its trading programs, the JWH GlobalAnalytics Family of Programs, the Financial and Metals Portfolio, and the G-7 Currency Portfolio.
Under signed agreement, prior to October 1, 2000, JWH received a monthly management fee of 1/12 of 4% of the Trust's month-end net assets after deduction of a portion of the Brokerage Fee at an annual rate of 1.25% of month-end Trust assets but before deduction of any management fees, redemptions, distributions, or incentive fee accrued or payable as of the relevant month end. Effective October 1, 2000, the agreement with JWH was changed to reduce the monthly management fee to 1/12 of 2% of the month-end net assets after the deductions.
Also, under signed agreement, prior to October 1, 2000, the Trust paid to JWH a quarterly incentive fee equal to 15% of the new trading profits of the Trust. The incentive fee is based on the overall performance of the Trust, not individually in respect of the performance of the individual programs utilized by the Trust. This fee is also calculated by deducting a portion of the Brokerage Fees at an annual rate of 1.25%. Effective October 1, 2000, the agreement with JWH was changed to increase the incentive fee to 20% of the new trading profits.
(4) Income Taxes
No provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each beneficial owner is responsible for reporting income (loss) based on the pro rata share of the profits or losses of the Trust. Generally, for both Federal and state tax purposes, trusts, such as the JWH Global Trust, are treated as partnerships. The Trust is responsible for the Illinois State Partnership Information and Replacement Tax based on the operating results of the Trust. Such tax amounted to $0 for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, and is included in operating expenses in the statement of operations.
(5) Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk
The Trust was formed to speculatively trade commodity interests. The Trust's commodity interest transactions and its related cash balance are on deposit with the Brokers at all times. In the event that volatility of trading of other customers of the Brokers impairs the ability of the Brokers to satisfy the obligations to the Trust, the Trust would be exposed to off-balance sheet risk. Such risk is defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105 (SFAS 105) as a credit risk. To mitigate this risk, the Clearing Broker, pursuant to the mandates of the Commodity Exchange Act, is required to maintain funds deposited by customers relating to futures contracts in regulated commodities in separate bank accounts which are designated as segregated customers' accounts. In addition, the Clearing Broker has set aside funds deposited by customers relating to foreign futures and options in separate bank accounts that are designated as customer-secured accounts. Lastly, the Clearing Broker is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital at least equal to 4% of the funds required to be segregated pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act. The Clearing Broker and Forwards Currency Broker both have controls in place to make certain that all customers maintain adequate margin deposits for the positions in which they maintain at each Broker. Such procedures should protect the Trust from the off-balance sheet risk as mentioned earlier. Neither the Clearing Broker nor the Forwards Currency Broker engage in proprietary trading and thus neither has any direct market exposure.
The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Trusts' involvement in the related futures and forwards contracts and do not reflect the risk of loss due to counterparty performance. Such risk is defined by SFAS 105 as credit risk. The counterparty of the Trust for futures contracts traded in the United States and most non-U.S. exchanges on which the Trust trades is the clearing house associated with the exchange. In general, clearing houses are backed by their membership and will act in the event of nonperformance by one of their members or one of the members' customers and as such should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the Trust trades on exchanges on which the clearing house is not backed by the membership, the sole recourse of the Trust for nonperformance will be the clearing house. The Forwards Currency Broker is the counterparty for the Trust's forward transactions. CISFS policies require that it executes transactions only with top rated financial institutions with assets in excess of $100,000,000.
The average fair value of commodity interests was $4,535,372 from the period of January 1 to June 30 of 2001. The net gains or losses arising from the trading of commodity interests are presented in the statement of operations.
The Trust holds futures positions on various exchanges throughout the world and forward positions with CISFS that transacts with various top rated banks throughout the world. As defined by SFAS 105, futures and forward currency contracts are classified as financial instruments. SFAS 105 requires that the Trust disclose the market risk of loss from all of its financial instruments. Market risk is defined as the possibility that future changes in market prices may make a financial instrument less valuable or more onerous. If the markets should move against all of the futures and forward positions of the Trust at the same time (both long positions and short positions), and if the markets moved such that JWH was unable to offset the positions of the Trust, the Trust could lose all of its assets and the beneficial owners would realize a 100% loss. The Trust utilizes three of the trading programs of the JWH. One trading program is diversified among all commodity groups, while the other is diversified among the various futures contracts and forwards contracts in the financial and metals group. The third trading program is diversified among various foreign currency forward contracts, including cross currency contracts. The programs trade in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Such diversification should greatly reduce this market risk.
At June 30, 2001, the cash requirement of the commodity interests of the Trust was $4,257,545. This cash requirement was met by $37,170,125 held in segregated funds, $5,440,401 held in secured funds and $6,584,184 held in nonregulated funds. At June 30, 2001, cash was on deposit with the Brokers that exceeded the cash requirement amount.
The following chart discloses the dollar amount of the unrealized gain or loss on open contracts of the Trust at June 30, 2001.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Annalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2001
The Trust recorded a loss of $4,252,550 or $10.11 per unit in the second quarter of 2001. As of June 30, the Trust has gained 16.16% since inception.
On June 30, 2001, the John W. Henry Company (JWH) was managing 100% of the Trust's assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of JWH's GlobalAnalytics Family of Programs and G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust's assets were allocated to JWH's Financial and Metals Portfolio.
In April, the Trust suffered losses as the economy and the U.S. stock market demonstrated signs of rebounding. An unexpected discount rate cut in the U.S., coupled with a lack of an interest rate cut in Europe, caused trend reversals in both Euro and U.S. dollar denominated bond markets. These reversals were negative for the Trust. Long positions in the Japanese bond market, which had been maintained for several months, were closed out after similar price behavior. Trading in British, Swiss and Australian interest rates was also slightly negative. The currency sector experienced losses in April. The biggest loss came in the Yen, which was up against the U.S. dollar for the first month since August. The U.S. dollar fared slightly better against the Euro, Swiss franc and the British pound, but lost ground to each for the month. Gold rallied slightly off its low, which reduced open trade profits and led to a small loss in the metal sector. Petroleum prices continued trading in a volatile, sideways manner which accounted for a small loss in energy. Overall, the Trust recorded a loss of $3,683,039 or $8.79 per Unit in April.
In May, short positions in the Euro proved to be very profitable for the Trust. The Euro continued to erode in value against the U.S. dollar as EU members reconsidered the need for a common currency. Trading in the interest rate sector was challenging. Despite rate cuts by both the Fed and the European Central Bank, many interest rate markets moved in a trendless manner which resulted in losses. Energy markets were indecisive in May. Gains in short natural gas positions were the most profitable while long crude oil positions incurred losses. As had been the case for several months, the Trust had very small positions in metal and commodity markets due to a lack of price trends. The Trust recorded a gain of $1,551,800 or $3.70 per unit in May.
In June, the Trust suffered losses in interest rate and currency trading primarily due to the uncertainty in the global economy. The interest rate sector experienced negative performance largely due to the volatility associated with the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate cut. Markets failed to follow through after the cut, which led to losses in all U.S. dollar and Euro denominated interest rate trading. Australian interest rate trading was negative as well. The only bright spot in the interest rate sector came from the long positions in Japanese government bonds. The re-election of U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair added to an already confusing situation in the currency sector. The Euro and British pound closed the month about unchanged against the Dollar. However, the intra-month volatility in each of these markets triggered stop-loss selling. The Trust's long Yen/short Euro position, which had been profitable in May, was closed due to weakness in the Yen. Losses in crude oil and gasoline trading more then offset gains made in short positions in natural gas. The Trust recorded a loss of $2,121,311 or $5.02 per Unit in June.
During the quarter there were 23,428.07 units sold to the beneficial owners for an investment of $2,774,455. Investors redeemed a total of 14,501.65 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 422,256.08 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.
During the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2001, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.
Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2000
The Trust recorded a loss of $2,119,843 or $3.82 per unit in the second quarter of 2000. This compares to a gain of $6,060,792 or $7.17 per unit for the second quarter of 1999. As of June 30, the Trust has lost 8.95% since inception.
In April, volatility in stocks led to a stronger U.S. dollar versus the Euro and profits for the Trust. Despite an interest rate increase by European central banks, the U.S. dollar reached an all time high versus the Euro. Additional profits were accrued in long U.S. dollar positions against the British, Swiss, and Australian currencies. Stock index trading suffered, especially in Japan. Although the Trust's metals positions were up slightly, overall trading in non-financial markets was down slightly with the energy and food markets showing losses. The Trust recorded a gain of $1,553,258 or $2.30 per unit in April.
In May, mixed inflationary signals set the scene for two major trend reversals. The U.S. interest rate market had a volatile change of direction as rates headed lower and the Euro abruptly reversed its long term down trend versus the U.S. dollar. After having been profitable for the majority of May, the Trust closed lower when both trends reversed. Trading in U.S. bonds was down sharply, as was Euro denominated interest rate trading. After hitting all-time lows against the U.S. dollar in April, the Euro appreciated and profits accumulated in April by the Trust were given back. Short positions in the Nikkei made the stock index sector the only positive performing financial area. Long positions in the energy sector produced positive results as petroleum prices continued to surge. Trading in metals, foods and fibers was flat. The Trust recorded a loss of $735,209 or $1.18 per unit in May.
In June, uncertainty regarding an economic slowdown in the U.S. and an interest rate rise in Europe provided a conflicting climate for trading. These events created problems in the currency sector, which was the worst performing area in June. The Trust's positions in interest rates, metals and stock indices were unprofitable as well. On the positive side surging petroleum prices allowed long positions in the energy sector to continue to accrue profits. Profitable positions in sugar and soybean oil allowed the agricultural sector to show a small positive return for the month. However, the Trust recorded a loss of $2,937,892 or $4.94 per unit in June.
During the quarter there were 3,347.25 units sold to the beneficial owners for an investment of $324,406. Investors redeemed a total of 114,089.72 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 554,042.43 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 8,602.73 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.
During the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2000, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts which was material.
Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2001
The Trust recorded a gain of $4,900,063 or $11.68 per unit in the first quarter of 2001. As of March 31, the Trust had gained 26.27% since inception.
All three months of the quarter were profitable for the Trust. On March 31, 2001, JWH was managing 100% of the Trust's assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of the JWH GlobalAnalytics Family of Programs and the G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust's assets were allocated to JWH's Financial and Metals Portfolio.
In early January, the interest rate and currency sectors continued to accrue profits as they had in the fourth quarter of 2000. However, by midmonth, these markets began to consolidate and move against their long-term trends. The single most profitable position in the Trust's portfolio was short Japanese yen. Long positions in the Euro and the U.S. Dollar against the Yen offset losses in other currency markets. In the interest rate sector, the Trust's long bond positions in various countries around the world remained the cornerstone of the portfolio. Smaller profits were produced in almost every geographic area with European markets leading the way. Crude and heating oil prices bounced about in a featureless pattern. The metal sector showed signs of breaking out of its prolonged down trend as silver, copper and aluminum rallied sharply. The Trust recorded a gain of $853,853 or $1.95 per unit in January.
During February, the Bank of Japan once again adopted a policy of reducing interest rates as Japan's economic recovery stalled. This allowed the Trust's long positions in Japanese bonds to greatly appreciate in value. Smaller gains were made in long positions in U.S., Germany, Great Britain, and Australian interest rates. Trading in European currencies was negative. Both the Euro and Swiss franc traded in erratic patterns for much of the month, which more than offset the gains made in the Yen. OPEC agreed to cut output by 1.5 million barrels a day in order to support prices. However, the slowing of global economies counteracted this decrease leading to an unprofitable trading environment for the Trust. By the end of the month, the Trust all but exited the energy sector. The Trust recorded a gain of $43,430 or $0.11 per unit in February.
In March, the Trust continued its positive performance. Despite a trend interruption late in the month, trading in the interest rate sector was positive in March with some geographic areas dramatically outperforming others. The Bank of Japan's decision to stimulate Japan's economy at all costs hastened the decline of Japanese interest rates which allowed the Trust's long Japanese bond positions to be the most profitable in the portfolio. Gloomy growth outlooks for Europe and Great Britain directed interest rates lower which was profitable for the Trust. Conversely, trading in U.S. interest rates was negative. The currency sector, which had been up dramatically since September, continued its stellar performance in March. The unyielding strength of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen was the cornerstone of the sector's performance. The Yen lost approximately 8% to the U.S. dollar in March and approximately 17% since September. Gains also accrued in long U.S. dollar positions against the Swiss franc and Australian dollar. Trading in the U.S. dollar versus the Euro was slightly negative. As had been the case for several months, position sizes in the commodity, metal, energy and stock index sectors were quite small due to lack of price trends. The Trust recorded a gain of $4,002,780 or $9.62 per unit in March.
During the quarter there were 13,100.23 units sold to the Beneficial Owners for an investment of $1,594,086. Beneficial owners redeemed a total of 30,535.95 units during the quarter. The Managing Owner redeemed a total of 949.41 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 413,329.66 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.
During the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2001, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.
Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2000
The Trust recorded a loss of $7,443,701 or $9.64 per unit for the first quarter of 2000. This compares to a loss of $2,085,640 or $2.51 per unit for the first quarter of 1999.
In the first month of the quarter the Trust posted a loss resulting primarily from volatility in the currency sector. The Trust posted a loss for the second month of the quarter resulting primarily from trading in global interest rates. During the third month of the quarter currency destabilization and massive capital shifts out of the U.S. dollar resulted in a loss for the Trust. Overall, the first quarter of fiscal 2000 ended negatively for the Trust accounts managed by JWH. At March 31, 2000, JWH was managing 100% of the Trust's assets in three trading programs, the Financial and Metals Portfolio, the G-7 Currency Portfolio and the JWH GlobalAnalytics Family of Programs.
January 2000 marked the turning of the millennium. This coupled with the build-up to Y2K came and went without a hitch. However, the currency sector was all but quiet as extreme volatility prompted large swings in the price of the U.S. dollar relative to the Japanese yen. Within the first couple of days of the New Year, the Japanese banks intervened and started pouring money into the U.S. dollar. This abrupt reversal in the U.S. dollar/Yen relationship resulted in a reversal of the Trust positions from long Yen to short Yen within a matter of days. Similarly, Yen trading relative to the Euro and Swiss franc contributed to Trust losses. Short Australian dollar positions proved difficult and also resulted in losses. Stock indices, namely the Nikkei fell in response to volatility in the tech sector, which is factored into that index. Long positions hurt the Trust's performance. Despite realizing profits from short U.S. bond and long Japanese government bond positions as well as maintaining long profitable crude oil positions, the Trust posted overall losses. The Trust posted a loss of $2,389,126 or $2.94 per unit in January.
Changing expectations regarding economic growth and inflation created a difficult trading environment in February. The strategic news item was the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to buy back part of the debt, which led to a powerful rally in the U.S. 30-year bond. The decision by the Fed created havoc in the Trust's interest rate portfolio, which was dominated by short positions. Losses were taken in North American, Asian and European interest rates. The yield on the 10-year U.S. government bond exceeded that of the 30-year bond, creating an inverted yield curve, which is a very unusual occurrence. Currency trading was mixed. Profitable long U.S. dollar positions were bolstered by the revised fourth quarter GNP number, which reflected a robust economy. However, gains in the U.S. dollar were offset by losses incurred by long Europe/short Japan positions. Surging energy prices supported performance in the non-financial markets. Food and grain markets were once again featureless. Precious metals trading suffered as gold prices rallied and then fell sharply. On March 2, 2000 Cargill Investor Services received a letter from Verne Sedlacek, President of John W. Henry and Company, Inc. detailing modifications to the Financial and Metals trading program, which represents 40% of the Trust. All changes were designed to add balance to the program without giving up any upside potential. Most noteworthy were the dramatic reductions in precious metals and Far Eastern interest rate trading, as well as the addition of offshore stock indices, base metals, and the expansion of non-dollar currency trading. JWH remains steadfast in its commitment to research. The Trust posted a loss of $2,542,850 or $3.29 per unit in February.
In March, profit taking in U.S. tech stocks led to massive capital shifts out of the dollar and into Yen. These events destabilized currency and stock markets worldwide. The appreciation of the Yen contributed the majority of the losses to the Trust in that long positions in U.S. dollar and Euro versus the Yen both suffered. Marginal gains in U.S. dollar positions against European and Australian currencies proved inadequate in offsetting these losses. Non-financial markets were, for the most part, quiet in March. Profits in long crude oil, heating oil and gasoline positions were reduced when OPEC agreed to expand oil production. Performance in precious, as well as industrial metals was down slightly. The food and grain markets were featureless. Positive performance in March came from the interest rate sector. The 7% correction in tech stocks coupled with the U.S. Treasury's continued buying of longer dated bonds led to positive performance in the Trust's bond position. The European Central Bank's decision to raise short term interest rates led to purchasing European bonds, which assisted the Trust's position as well. The Trust posted a loss of $2,511,726 or $3.41 per unit in March.
During the quarter there were 6,778.21 additional units sold to the beneficial owners for an investment of $661,494; there were no units sold to the Managing Owner. Investors redeemed a total of 148,368.09 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 664,784.91 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 8,602.14 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange or to any counterparty dealing in over the counter contracts which was material.
