                              JWH GLOBAL TRUST
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                June 30, 2002




(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, 2002, a total of  1,229,134.02  units  representing an investment
for  $130,061,192  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 (NAV) to
less than  $2,500,000;  (5) a decline in the NAV 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 NAV 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, 2002, 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.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which 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 & 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, 2002 and June 30, 2001, 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 required to maintain a minimum net capital at least equal to 4% of the funds required to be segregated pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act, subject to certain adjustments permitted by such 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 $3,339,021.85 from the period of January 1 to June 30 of 2002. 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, 2002, the cash requirement of the commodity interests of the Trust was $8,033,068.59. This cash requirement was met by $30,703,055.33 held in segregated funds, $6,761,683.99 held in secured funds and $19,193,324 held in nonregulated funds. At June 30, 2002, cash was on deposit with the Brokers that exceeded the cash requirement amount.
(6) FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2002, as part of its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the fiscal year.
(7) Financial Highlights The following financial highlights show the Trust's financial performance for the period ended June 30, 2002. Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical beneficial owner's investment over the entire period. Total return is calculated based on the aggregate return of the Trust taken as a whole.
Total return 14.81% Ratio to average net assets: Net loss 15.15% Expenses: Expenses 4.79 Incentive fees 2.19 Total expenses 6.98% The net investment income and operating expenses ratios are computed based upon the weighted average net assets for the Trust for the period ended June 30, 2002.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2002 The Trust posted a gain of $13,268,444 or $30.64 per unit in the second quarter of 2002. As of June 30, 2002 the Trust has made 28.16% since inception. The Trust was up substantially in the quarter. On June 30, 2002, the JWH was managing 100% of the Trust's assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of the JWH GlobalAnalytics(R)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. The Trust began the quarter with slightly lower performance in April. Weakness in the U.S dollar provided strong results in the currency sector. Profits were accrued in short Dollar positions against the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, British pound and Euro. The long Dollar, short Euro position was the Trust's most profitable position in April. Performance in the interest rate sector was very disappointing. Short positions in Dollar and Euro denominated bond markets were closed out as losses. Our profitable long position in the Japanese government bond market offset most of the other losses incurred by interest rate trading. Turmoil in the Middle East lifted the energy market higher, providing small gains. The metals sector was slightly lower as gains in gold could not offset losses in copper, silver and aluminum. Overall, the Trust recorded a small loss of $129,119 or $0.29 per unit in April. The currency sector paved the way for strong performance in May. The U.S. dollar continued to weaken against most major currencies; most notably the Euro, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc, providing strong profits. Trends in the currency markets were aided by the U.S. Treasury's "stand aside" approach on the dollar policy and the Bank of Japan's failed intervention attempts. The Australian dollar continued to rise as the currency linked to physical commodities, due to expectations of higher global inflation. The Trust's long Euro versus short Japanese yen position was also profitable. The stock index sector registered modest gains during May, primarily due to the German DAX. The steepening U.S. yield curve allowed long positions in the two, five and ten-year bonds to accrue profits. However, performance in the 30-year bond contract was negative. The Japanese government bond provided the largest profit in the interest rate sector as it continued to climb. Losses were absorbed in the Australian and European interest rate markets. The metals sector was also positive for the month. Profits in long gold positions more than offset losses in industrial and base metals. All in all, the Trust recorded a gain of $3,756,934 or $8.56 per unit in May. The JWH Global Trust followed May's gain with an extremely positive June. The economic drivers that fueled the strong performance included a confluence of events influencing the currency sector, which was the strongest performing sector due to the recent weakness of the Dollar for the year-to-date. The Euro has now gained approximately 15% on the Dollar for the year-to-date. Investors selling U.S. stocks due to fear of additional accounting abnormalities puts pressure on stocks as well as the Dollar. Much of the proceeds of these sales appear to be moving into non-Dollar investments along with global bonds and gold. The global bond market rallied as a result of money coming from sales of equities. This "flight to quality" helped the Trust's long positions in the European, Japanese and U.S. bond markets to appreciate throughout the month. Short positions in the world's stock markets via stock index futures were positive contributors in June. Corn and soybeans prices gained over 15% since lows were made in May. For June, the Trust recorded a gain of $9,640,629 or $22.37 per unit. During the quarter there were 7,842.88 units sold to the beneficial owners for an investment of $834,593. Beneficial Owners redeemed a total of 28,505.53 units during the quarter. The Managing Owner redeemed a total of 0 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 416,288.40 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, 2002, 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, 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 had gained 16.16% since inception. On June 30, 2001, the 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 March 31, 2002 The Trust recorded a loss of 6,235,975 or $14.11 per unit in the first quarter of 2002. As of March 31, the Trust has lost 2.48% since its inception in June 1997. All three months of the quarter were unprofitable for Trust investors. On March 31, 2002, JWH was managing 100% of the Trust's assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of the JWH GlobalAnalytics(R)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 January, performance was positive in the currency and energy sectors while interest rate, metal, stock index and commodity markets posted losses. The most significant gains came from the currency sector where the Japanese Yen continued to lose value. This was beneficial to Trust investors because the short Yen position was the largest in the portfolio. Trading in all other currency markets was negative. The Enron news created a "flight to quality" situation which led to higher U.S. and European bond prices. These news items and others ceased the selling activity in global bonds and caused losses in the Trust's interest rate long positions. The energy sector posted a very small gain as short positions in natural gas exceeded losses taken in all other energy markets. Precious metals rallied sharply for the first time in months. Initially this was negative for the Trust. However, by month end, a long position was taken and the loss absorbed earlier in the month was lessened. Overall, the Trust recorded a loss of $793,776 or $1.79 per unit in January. During February, fluctuating price patterns continued which led to a difficult month for the Trust. The key element in the Trust's performance was the trend reversals in the Japanese financial markets. The Nikkei (stock index), Japanese government bonds and the Yen accounted for over one half of the losses in the portfolio. Losses in the currency sector also occurred in the British pound, Swiss franc and Euro. As earlier stated, trading in Japanese government bonds was negative as was trading in U.S. and Euro denominated bond markets. Performance in the energy sector was also unprofitable. Short positions in crude oil, natural gas and gasoline suffered as prices rose. Gold prices continued to rise, which allowed the metal sector to be positive in February. During late February, CIS Securities, Inc. replaced CIS as JWH Global Trust's Lead Selling Agent. This change will not have a material effect on the business of the Trust. The Trust recorded a loss of $2,702,058 or $6.13 per unit in February. March was another disappointing month. Positive returns from the energy and interest rate sectors were overpowered by losses in the currency sector, specifically in the Yen where Japanese corporations spurred a rally when they actively repatriated Yen for year-end accounting purposes. This proved to be detrimental for the Trust's short Yen position. The balance of interest rate trading amounted to additional losses. The energy and interest rate sectors each posted gains. Profits accrued in short positions in Euro denominated markets outweighed losses in Japanese bond markets. Nearly all markets in the metals sector were positive. However, gains were small due to small position sizes and small price changes. The Trust recorded a loss of $2,740,141 or $6.19 per unit in March. During the quarter there were 17,137.84 units sold to the Beneficial Owners for an investment of $1,745,995. Beneficial Owners redeemed a total of 18,195.48 units during the quarter. The Managing Owner redeemed a total of 0 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 436,951.05 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, 2002, 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, 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 has gained 26.27% since inception. All three months of the quarter were profitable for Trust investors. 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(R)Family of Programs and the G-7 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., German, 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.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Trust and its affiliates may from time to time be parties to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business.
