WORLD MONITOR TRUST II – SERIES E

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

World Monitor Trust II (the “Trust”) is a business trust organized under the laws of Delaware on April 22, 1999. The Trust consists of three separate and distinct series (“Series”): Series D, E and F. Series D, E and F commenced trading operations on March 13, 2000, April 6, 2000 and March 1, 2000, respectively, and each Series will continue to exist until terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII of the Sixth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The assets of each Series are segregated from those of the other Series, separately valued and independently managed and separate financial statements are prepared for each Series. Each Series was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forward and options contracts, and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions. The trustee of the Trust is Wilmington Trust Company.

Interests owned in one series of the Trust (Series D, E or F) were exchangeable, without any charge, for Interests of one or more other Series on a weekly basis for as long as Limited Interests in those Series were being offered to the public. Series E and Series F are no longer offered to the public as those series substantially achieved their subscription maximums during June 2003 and July 2003, respectively. In addition, since July 2003, the offering of interests in Series D has been suspended. Accordingly, at this time, Interests may not be exchanged.

In 2009, Preferred Investment Solutions Corp., the managing owner of Series D, E and F, determined that effective March 1, 2009, Interests in Series D, E and F can only be redeemed as of the last business day of each month. Through February 27, 2009, redemptions were permitted on a weekly basis. As a result, through 2008, interim period financial statements of Series D, E and F were as of the last valuation day in the last week of the period. Beginning in 2009, interim period financial statements of Series D, E and F are as of the last day of a calendar quarter.

Effective May 5, 2009, Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. changed its name to Kenmar Preferred Investments Corp. (“Preferred” or the “Managing Owner”). Preferred or Managing Owner refers to either Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. or Kenmar Preferred Investments Corp., depending on the applicable period discussed.

In the event that the estimated net asset value per Interest of a Series at the end of any business day after adjustments for distributions and redemptions declines by 50% or more since the commencement of trading activities or the first day of a fiscal year, the Series will automatically terminate.

Effective December 1, 2008, in accordance with the Fourth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner is no longer required to maintain at least a 1% interest in the capital, profits and losses of each Series. As such, the Managing Owner redeemed its entire interest in each Series in 2009.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  A. Basis of Accounting

The condensed statement of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2009, the condensed statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 (“Second Quarter 2009”), the period March 29, 2008 to June 27, 2008 (“Second Quarter 2008”), the six months ended June 30, 2009 (“Year-To-Date 2009”) and the period January 1, 2008 to June 27, 2008 (“Year-To-Date 2008”), and the condensed statements of changes in trust capital for the Year-To-Date 2009 and Year-To-Date 2008, are unaudited. In the opinion of the Managing Owner, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position of Series E as of June 30, 2009 and the results of its operations for the Second Quarter 2009, Second Quarter 2008, Year-To-Date 2009 and Year-To-Date 2008. The operating results for these interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Series E’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The financial statements of Series E are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the Managing Owner 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 these estimates.

Commodity futures and foreign exchange transactions are reflected in the accompanying condensed statements of financial condition on the trade date. Net unrealized gain or loss on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are offset when reflected in the financial statements since the contracts are executed with the same counter party under a master netting arrangement. The market value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is based upon the closing quotation on the various futures exchanges on which the contract is traded. The values which will be used by Series E for open forward and option positions will be provided by its administrator, who obtains market quotes from data vendors and third parties. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss during the current period is reported in the condensed statement of operations. Realized gains and losses on transactions are recognized in the period in which the contracts are closed. Brokerage commissions include other trading fees and are charged to expense when incurred.

Series E has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows since substantially all of Series E’s investments are highly liquid and carried at fair value, Series E has little or no debt and a Statement of Changes in Trust Capital is provided.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

  A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS 157 requires use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (Level 2), and unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (Level 3). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

The Trust adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact to assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value (investments) in these financial statements.

The Trust considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts to be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by third party data providers such as Bloomberg, Reuters, and or Super Derivatives who derive fair values for those assets from models with observable inputs (Level 2). There are no Level 3 investments on June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value using the fair value hierarchy:

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). FSP FAS 157-3 clarified the application of SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-3 demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, evaluated the impact of adopting FSP FAS 157-3 on Series E’s financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on Series E’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 clarified the application of SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for how the fair value of a financial asset or liability is determined when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively. The Trust adopted FSP FAS 157-4 effective January 1, 2009. As required, the Trust also adopted FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” effective January 1, 2009. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, evaluated the impact of adopting FSP FAS 157-4, and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on Series E’s financial statements. The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on Series E’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of SFAS 115. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, evaluated the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on Series E’s financial statements.

  A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

 

The Trust adopted SFAS 159 during the first quarter of 2008 and it did not have a material effect on Series E’s financial statements as Series E did not elect the fair value option for any of its eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In April 2007, the FASB released FASB Staff Position FIN No. 39-1 “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts” (“FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 requires that offsetting of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet is improper except where a right of setoff exists. The application of FSP FIN 39-1 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, evaluated the impact of adopting FSP FIN 39-1 and its impact on the Series E’s financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on Series E’s financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, evaluated the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on Series E’s financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on Series E’s financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS 165 is effective for Series E during the quarter ending June 30, 2009. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, evaluated the impact of adopting SFAS 165 and its impact on Series E’s financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on Series E’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”), which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. SFAS 166 is effective for Series E on January 1, 2010. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 166 and its impact on Series E’s financial statements.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

  A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is effective for Series E on January 1, 2010. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 167 and its impact on Series E’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”), which approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP effective July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification are considered non authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is effective for Series E during the interim period ending September 30, 2009. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 168 and its impact on Series E’s financial statements.

 

  B. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash represents amounts deposited with a bank and clearing brokers, a portion of which is restricted for purposes of meeting margin requirements, which typically range from 0% to 35% of the notional amounts of the derivatives traded. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, restricted cash totaled $3,255,635 and $616,333, respectively. Series E receives interest on all cash balances held by its prime and commodity brokers at prevailing rates.

 

  C. Income Taxes

Series E is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As such, Series E is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the individual interest holders including the Managing Owner. Series E may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

Series E has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest or other expense. All tax years which are statutorily open are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing authorities.

  D. Profit and Loss Allocations and Distributions

Through February 27, 2009, Series E allocated profits and losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes to its Interest holders weekly on a pro rata basis based on each owner’s Interests outstanding during the week. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, Series E allocated profits and losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes to its Interest holders monthly on a pro rata basis based on each owner’s Interests outstanding during the month. Distributions (other than redemptions of Interests) may be made at the sole discretion of the Managing Owner on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective capital balances of the Interest holders. The Managing Owner has not and does not presently intend to make any distributions.

 

  E. Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

 

  F. Foreign Currency Transactions

Series E’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other then the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the condensed statement of financial condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in operations currently under the caption realized in the condensed statements of operations.

Note 3. FEES

 

  A. Organizational and General and Administrative Costs

Routine legal, audit, postage, and other routine third party administrative costs are paid by Series E. To the extent that general and administrative costs incurred by Series E exceed 1.5% of Series E’s net asset value during the year (with a maximum of 0.5% attributable to other than legal and audit expenses) such amounts will be borne by the Managing Owner and its affiliates.

 

  B. Management and Incentive Fees

Series E pays its trading advisor, Graham Capital Management L.P. (the “Trading Advisor”) a management fee at an annual rate of 2% of Series E’s net asset value allocated to its management. Through February 27, 2009 the management fee was determined weekly and the sum of such weekly amounts was paid monthly. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, the management fee accrues and pays monthly. Series E also pays its Trading Advisor a quarterly incentive fee equal to 22% of such Trading Advisor’s “New High Net Trading Profits” (as defined in the advisory agreement). Incentive fees accrued weekly through February 27, 2009 and monthly subsequent to February 27, 2009. Incentive fees continue to be paid quarterly in arrears. No incentive fees were earned during Second Quarter 2009, Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008. Incentive fees of $31 were earned during Year-To-Date 2009.

Note 3. FEES (CONTINUED)

 

  C. Administrative Services

Series E pays the Managing Owner administrative services fees at an annual rate of 6% of Series E’s net asset value excluding transaction fees which Series E pays to its commodity and prime broker. Through February 27, 2009, the fee was determined weekly and the sum of such weekly amounts was paid monthly. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, the fee is determined and paid monthly. Series E is also obligated to pay all floor brokerage expenses, give-up charges and NFA, clearing and exchange fees incurred in connection with Series E’s commodity trading activities.

Note 4. RELATED PARTIES

Series E reimburses the Managing Owner or its affiliates for services they performed for Series E, which include, but are not limited to: accounting and financial management; registrar, transfer and assignment functions; investor communications; printing and other administrative services. However, to the extent that general and administrative expenses exceed 1.5% of Series E’s net asset value during the year (with a maximum of 0.5% attributable to other than legal and audit expenses) such amounts are borne by the Managing Owner and its affiliates. General and administrative expenses of $27,406 and $32,108 respectively, exceeded such limitations during the Second Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009. General and administrative expenses of $13,159 exceeded such limitations during the Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008. Because general and administrative expenses exceeded such limitations for the Second Quarter 2009, Second Quarter 2008, Year-To-Date 2009 and Year-To-Date 2008, a portion of the expenses related to services provided by the Managing Owner for Series E during Second Quarter 2009, Second Quarter 2008, Year-To-Date 2009 and Year-To-Date 2008 were borne by the Managing Owner and its affiliates.

The expenses incurred by Series E for services performed by the Managing Owner and its affiliates for Series E were:

 

     Second Quarter     Year-To-Date  
     2009     2008     2009     2008  

Administrative services

   $ 256,810      $ 296,522      $ 557,517      $ 575,363

     273,447        306,850        587,490        599,171   

General and administrative expenses borne by the Managing Owner and its affiliates

     (27,406     (13,159     (32,108     (13,159

Note 5. DEPOSITS WITH COMMODITY AND PRIME BROKER

Series E deposits funds with a commodity broker subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations and various exchange and commodity broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such commodity broker. Series E earns interest income on assets deposited with the commodity broker.

Series E deposits funds with a prime broker. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such prime broker. Series E earns interest income on assets deposited with the prime broker.

Note 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

Series E is exposed to various types of risks associated with the derivative instruments and related markets in which it invests. These risks include, but are not limited to, risk of loss from fluctuations in the value of derivative instruments held (market risk) and the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of Series E’s investment activities (credit risk).

Market Risk

Trading in futures and forward contracts (including foreign exchange) involves entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a particular commodity at a specified date and price. The gross or face amount of the contracts, which is typically many times that of Series E’s net assets being traded, significantly exceeds Series E’s future cash requirements since Series E intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, Series E is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such, Series E considers the “fair value” of its derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts.

The market risk associated with Series E’s commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross or face amount of the contracts held. However, when Series E enters into a contractual commitment to sell commodities, it must make delivery of the underlying commodity at the contract price and then repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase price to which a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities exposes Series E to unlimited risk.

Market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including government programs and policies, political and economic events, the level and volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, the diversification effects among the derivative instruments Series E holds and the liquidity and inherent volatility of the markets in which Series E trades.

Note 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

 

Credit Risk

When entering into futures or forward contracts, Series E is exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations. The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and most foreign futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with the particular exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by their corporate members who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e. some foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. On the other hand, there is concentration risk on forward transactions entered into by Series E as Series E’s commodity broker is the sole counterparty. Series E has entered into a master netting agreement with its broker and, as a result, when applicable presents unrealized gains and losses on open forward positions as a net amount in the statements of financial condition. The amount at risk associated with counterparty non-performance of all of Series E’s contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition; however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of Series E’s contracts may result in greater loss than non-performance on all of Series E’s contracts. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to Series E. The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring Series E and its Trading Advisor to abide by various trading limitations and policies.

The Managing Owner monitors compliance with these trading limitations and policies which include, but are not limited to, executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties; limiting the amount of margin or premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions. Additionally, pursuant to the advisory agreement among Series E, the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor, Series E shall automatically terminate the Trading Advisor if the net asset value allocated to the Trading Advisor declines by 40% from the value at the beginning of any year or since the commencement of trading activities. Furthermore, the Sixth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement provides that Series E will liquidate its positions, and eventually dissolve, if Series E experiences a decline in the net asset value of 50% from the value at the beginning of any year or since the commencement of trading activities. In each case, the decline in net asset value is after giving effect for distributions, and redemptions. The Managing Owner may impose additional restrictions (through modifications of trading limitations and policies) upon the trading activities of the Trading Advisor as it, in good faith, deems to be in the best interest of Series E.

Series E’s futures commission merchant, in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by CFTC regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to Series E all assets of Series E relating to domestic futures trading and is not allowed to commingle such assets with its other assets. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, such segregated assets totaled $8,956,559 and $9,439,386, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires Series E’s futures commission merchant to secure assets of Series E related to foreign futures trading which totaled $(41,193) and $(56,053), at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

As of June 30, 2009, Series E’s open futures and forward contracts mature within eighteen months.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (“Second Quarter 2009”) includes forward-looking statements that reflect the current expectations of Kenmar Preferred Investments Corp., the managing owner of World Monitor Trust II – Series E (“Registrant”), about the future results, performance, prospects and opportunities of Registrant. The Managing Owner has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “should,” “estimate” or the negative of those terms or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the managing owner and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, both known, such as those described in this Report, and unknown, that could cause Registrant’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the Federal securities laws, the Managing Owner undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or the risks, uncertainties or other factors described in this Report, as a result of new information, future events or changed circumstances or for any other reason after the date of this Report.

Introduction

General

World Monitor Trust II (the “Trust”) is a business trust organized under the laws of Delaware on April 22, 1999. The Trust consists of three separate and distinct series (“Series”): Series D, Series E and Series F. Series D, E and F commenced trading operations on March 13, 2000, April 6, 2000 and March 1, 2000, respectively, and each Series will continue to exist until terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII of the Sixth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The assets of each Series are segregated from those of the other Series, separately valued and independently managed. Each Series was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forward and options contracts, and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions. The trustee of the Trust is Wilmington Trust Company. The Managing Owner serves as the managing owner of the Trust and each Series, including Registrant. Registrant was formed to engage in the speculative trading of commodity futures, forwards and option contracts. Registrant’s fiscal year for book and tax purposes ends on December 31.

Registrant is engaged solely in the business of commodity futures and forward trading; therefore, presentation of industry segment information is not applicable.

Managing Owner and its Affiliates

Effective May 5, 2009, Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. changed its name to Kenmar Preferred Investments Corp. (“Preferred” or the “Managing Owner”). Preferred or Managing Owner refers to either Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. or Kenmar Preferred Investments Corp., depending on the applicable period discussed.

Preferred has been the managing owner of Registrant since October 1, 2004.

Effective December 1, 2008, in accordance with the Fourth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner is no longer required to maintain at least a 1% interest in Registrant. As such, the Managing Owner redeemed its entire Interest in each Series in 2009.

The Trading Advisor

Registrant has entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Trading Advisor” or “Graham”) to make the trading decisions for Registrant. Graham trades 100% of Registrant’s assets pursuant to Graham’s Global Diversified Program. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for various reasons, including at the discretion of Registrant. Through February 27, 2009, Registrant, accrued weekly and paid monthly a management fee equal to a weekly rate of approximately 0.038% (2% annually) of the assets allocated to the Trading Advisor. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, Registrant accrues and pays monthly a management fee equal to  1/12th of 2% (2% annually) of the assets allocated to the Trading Advisor. Registrant also pays the Trading Advisor an incentive fee of 22% of New High Net Trading Profits (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) generated by Registrant. Through February 27, 2009, incentive fees accrued weekly and were paid quarterly in arrears. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, incentive fees are accrued monthly and are ultimately determined as of the last business day of each calendar quarter.

Competition

The Managing Owner and its affiliates have formed, and may continue to form, various entities to engage in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts that have certain of the same investment policies as Registrant.

Registrant does not currently, and does not intend in the future to, solicit the sale of additional Interests. As such, Registrant does not compete with other entities to attract new fund participants. However, to the extent that a Trading Advisor recommends similar or identical trades to Registrant and other accounts that it manages, Registrant may compete with those accounts, as well as with other market participants, for the execution of the same or similar trades.

Employees

Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for Registrant are performed by the Managing Owner or third parties pursuant to the Trust Agreement, as further discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to Registrant’s financial statements included in its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008 (“Registrant’s 2008 Annual Report”), which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance. Applying these policies requires the Managing Owner to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of Registrant’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from the estimates used.

The Managing Owner has evaluated Registrant’s financial statements and related disclosures and has determined that the policies discussed below are critical accounting policies because they involve estimates, judgments and assumptions that are particularly complex, subjective or uncertain. For further discussion of Registrant’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

The valuation of Registrant’s investments that are not traded on a United States or internationally recognized futures exchange is a critical accounting policy. The market values of futures (exchange traded) contracts is verified by Registrant’s administrator, which obtains valuation data from third party data providers such as Bloomberg, Reuters and/or Super Derivatives and compares those prices with Registrant’s clearing broker. The market value of currency swap and forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 4 pm on the last business day of the reporting period. All values assigned by the administrator and confirmed by the Managing Owner are final and conclusive as to all of Registrant’s Unitholders.

As such, if actual results vary from estimates used, they are not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.

Registrant records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of Trading Profits (Losses) in the Statements of Operations. Generally, fair values are based on quoted market prices; however, in certain circumstances, significant judgments and estimates are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price. Registrant considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts to be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of forwards, swaps, and certain option contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by Super Derivatives, Bloomberg, Reuters and or other third party data providers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Registrant does not currently have any investments valued using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs reflect Registrant’s assumptions that it believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Registrant develops Level 3 inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, which may include indirect correlation to a market value, combinations of market values or Registrant’s proprietary data. Level 3 inputs generally include information derived through extrapolation or interpolation of observable market data.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 requires use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (Level 2), and unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (Level 3). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

The Registrant adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact to the investments in the Registrant’s financial statements. Of its unrealized losses at June 30, 2009, $(106,919) or 46.48% of Registrant’s investments are classified as Level 1 and $(123,097) or 53.52% as Level 2. Of its unrealized gains (losses) on open futures and forward contracts at December 31, 2008, $75,040 or 148.60% of the Registrant’s investments are classified as Level 1 and $(24,542) or (48.60)% as Level 2. There are no Level 3 investments on June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008 using the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). FSP FAS 157-3 clarified the application of FAS 157. FSP FAS 157-3 demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The Managing Owner evaluated the impact of adopting FSP FAS 157-3 and its impact on the Registrant’s financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Registrant’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 clarified the application of SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for how the fair value of a financial asset or liability is determined when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively. The Registrant adopted FSP FAS 157-4 effective January 1, 2009. As required, the Registrant also adopted FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” effective January 1, 2009. Preferred, as Managing Owner of the Registrant, evaluated the impact of adopting FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, on the Registrant’s financial statements. The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on Registrant’s financial statements.

In April 2007, the FASB Staff Position released FASB Fin No. 39-1 “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts” (“FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 requires that offsetting of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet is improper except where a right of setoff exists. The application of FSP FIN 39-1 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim period within those fiscal years. The Managing Owner evaluated the impact of adopting FSP FIN 39-1 and its impact on the Registrant’s financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Registrant’s financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Managing Owner evaluated the impact of adopting SFAS 161 and its impact on the Registrant’s financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Registrant’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a

variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is effective for the Registrant on January 1, 2010. The Managing Owner is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 167 and its impact on the Registrant’s financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant commenced operations on April 6, 2000. Additional contributions raised through the continuous offering of limited interests (“Limited Interests”) and general interests (“General Interests” and, together with the Limited Interests, “Interests”) of beneficial ownership in Registrant were offered until it substantially achieved its subscription maximum of $50,000,000 Limited Interests in June 2003.

For Second Quarter 2009, the six months ended June 30, 2009 (“Year-To-Date 2009”), the period March 29, 2008 to June 27, 2008 (“Second Quarter 2008”), and the period January 1, 2008 to June 27, 2008 (“Year-To-Date 2008”) there were no subscriptions of Limited or General Interests.

Effective March 1, 2009, Interests in the Registrant can only be redeemed as of the last business day of each month. Through February 27, 2009, Investors were able to redeem their Interests on a weekly basis. Redemptions of Limited Interests for Second Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were $2,670,683 and $3,108,694, respectively. Redemptions of Limited Interests for Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were $490,474 and $1,958,424, respectively. Redemptions of General Interests for Second Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were $0 and $197,480, respectively. Redemptions of General Interests for Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were $5,010 and $22,026, respectively. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.

Limited Interests may no longer be exchanged for Limited Interests in World Monitor Trust II – Series D (“Series D”) or World Monitor Trust II – Series F (“Series F”), nor may Limited Interests in Series D or Series F be exchanged for Limited Interests in Registrant.

A significant portion of Registrant’s net assets are held in cash, which is used as margin for trading in commodities. In as much as the sole business of Registrant is to trade in commodities, Registrant continues to own such liquid assets to be used as margin. The clearing broker and bank credits Registrant with interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in its accounts with the clearing broker and bank during each month at competitive interest rates.

The commodities contracts may be subject to periods of illiquidity because of market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example, commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily limits.” During a single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market conditions could prevent Registrant from promptly liquidating its commodity futures positions.

Since Registrant’s business is to trade futures and forward contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk). Registrant’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors including the volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded and the relationships among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of Registrant’s speculative trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could result in losses considerably beyond Registrant’s experience to date and could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially all of investors’ capital. The Managing Owner attempts to minimize these risks by requiring Registrant and the Trading Advisor to abide by various trading limitations and policies, which include limiting margin amounts, trading only in liquid markets and permitting the use of stop loss provisions. For a further discussion of the credit and market risks associated with Registrant’s futures and forward contracts, see Note 6 to Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Registrant does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.

Market Overview

Following is a market overview for Second Quarter 2009 and Second Quarter 2008:

Second Quarter 2009

The second quarter of 2009 displayed snippets of evidence that the US economy had bottomed but the problem remained that two key areas, housing and employment, showed only modest indications of a turnaround. US economic metrics were far from optimistic during the quarter as the unemployment rate rose to 9.5%, and many market participants believe it is possible that it will climb above the double-digit mark during the second-half of 2009. Since December 2007, the US lost approximately 6.5 million jobs, of which 1.3 million were lost in the past quarter. As for the stimulus packages, they are making their way into the economy, but at a snail’s pace. The third quarter could see a larger macro impact.

US Treasury yields steepened through most of the quarter. In May, a downward less-than-expected revision of the first quarter GDP encouraged risk taking and the yield curve hinted the economy was in a recovery cycle. The June Federal Open Market Committee meeting indicated that the Fed would maintain an accommodative policy through year end and they expressed little concern on inflation. While the yield curve still indicates the economy is in recovery mode, it does not foreshadow a quick “V” shaped recovery but rather an extended “U” pattern. The Federal Reserve kept rates at 0 to 25 basis points through the quarter. The Bank of England and the Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) kept key rates unchanged through the quarter as well. Japan continued in a recession during the quarter but, as in the US and Eurozone, the worst appears to be over. After being criticized for lowering rates only 25 basis points in April, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) cut rates by another 25 basis points to 1.00% in May. Jean Claude Trichet, ECB president, made it apparent they were likely finished cutting rates for the near future.

The US Dollar Index ended the quarter with a loss of approximately 5%. The US currency survived calls from Russia and the other BRIC nations for a so-called “supranational” currency. An increased appetite for risk weighed on the dollar for much of the quarter, although that appeared to lessen toward the end of June. After being annihilated in the first quarter, the pound managed a solid recovery on indications that UK housing may have bottomed. The euro finished the second quarter up approximately 6% on the dollar. The Japanese yen ended the quarter up overall and the BOJ continued to engage in heavy stimulus activity.

It was a positive overall quarter for global equities, however, US equities lost some ground in June in what appeared to be a correction due to concerns surrounding consumers, housing and employment. Energy and financial stocks led the US rally as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and NASDAQ all gained approximately 11%, 15% and 20%, respectively, for the quarter. A similar pattern unfolded in Europe with modest losses in June within solid quarterly performance. The STOXX 600, a broad measure of European equities, rose approximately 16% during the quarter. The CAC and the DAX closed the quarter with gains as well. In Asia, the Nikkei jumped over 22% as concerns surrounding North Korea’s nuclear program served as only brief interruptions. The particularly volatile Hang Seng rose approximately 23%, while the Australian All Ordinaries Index and Korea’s Kospi rallied as well. Russian stocks recovered as the quarter progressed in a rally that began at the end March. Improved oil prices were a primary motivator of the turnaround.

Crude followed movements of the equity markets, offsetting ongoing demand destruction, which seems to have been discounted by the market. In addition, the weakening US dollar, “economic optimism” based on Asian and US data, continued disruption of output by rebel groups in Nigeria and Chinese stockpiling fueled crude’s rally as it surged approximately 44% within the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index (“DJUBS”) during the quarter. For natural gas, temperatures ran cool in key consuming regions, keeping demand in check. Heating oil ended the quarter with an approximate 28% gain within the DJUBS. Reformulated gasoline had a strong quarter as gasoline at the pump continued to rise but demand still ran down 2.5% from last year. With supplies more than 22% ahead of last year and storage facilities full, natural gas finished the quarter up only 4% within the DJUBS.

Reduced global financial market fears diminished flight-to-safety demand for gold during the second quarter as gold finished relatively flat for the quarter. Silver closed out the period with an approximate 5% gain as jewelry demand was quiet, although there was a slight increase in India’s purchases. China was a periodic buyer. Base metals witnessed overall gains across the board in the quarter, mainly attributable to China’s strategic commodity re-stocking, the weaker US dollar, investment demand and economic optimism. Profits of over 52%, 22%, 18% and 17% for nickel, copper, zinc and aluminum, respectively, within the DJUBS, were showcased through the quarter.

Fear that the H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu) would somehow be spread overseas from pork products originating in the U.S. led to bans on US pork products, resulting in an approximate 2% loss within the DJUBS during the quarter. For the first half of the quarter, cotton prices reacted bullishly to the uncertain weather conditions and the quarter ended up approximately 15% within the DJUBS. Planting time fears saw grain prices rally in April and May, hitting a nine month high due to the overly wet conditions, which kept farmers from getting their steel in the field. However, once conditions dried out and forecasts for more spring-like weather were predicted, all the upside gains were given back during the month of June as the USDA Planting Acreage Report rattled the agricultural markets. The downside effect on soybeans was not quite as pronounced, however, as this crop can be planted later in the season with much less attributable yield loss. Sugar ended the quarter with profits of over 32% within the DJUBS as prices were driven higher by steady demand patterns out of India, the world’s biggest consumer; changing global weather patterns which threatened production in Brazil, the world’s largest producer; investment interest and a weak US dollar. Coffee finished the quarter up approximately 2% within the DJUBS, attributable to a weak dollar, solid technicals and the relief from a threat of adverse weather.

Second Quarter 2008

While the US may not be in the “official” definition of recession, the tone of the economy was clearly recessionary like in the second quarter 2008, to an even greater degree than in the first quarter. Liquidity problems persisted and concern surrounding the viability of a number of financial institutions pervaded the atmosphere even after the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) bailout of Bear Stearns & Co. Inc in mid March. Inflation jitters appeared to increase throughout the quarter as crude oil surged over $140 per barrel (“pb”) and food costs increased significantly.

The spread between 10-year treasury notes and inflation-indexed securities, which measures the expected rate of inflation, steadily increased to over 2.5% at the end of June from roughly 2.3% in March. On a slightly positive note, the overall condition and liquidity within the credit markets appeared to improve at least marginally. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FMOC”) appeared to end its rate cut cycle at its June meeting. However, at this point the FMOC does not appear ready to initiate imminent rate increases as reflected in the statement from the June meeting, where the Fed displayed a clear concern for inflationary pressures but at the same time warned of a weakening economy and existing threats to global liquidity. Treasury yields moved steadily higher for much of the quarter before falling back slightly during the final half of June.

The employment picture worsened dramatically as the quarter developed, including an approximate 62,000 decline in June non-farm payroll as the unemployment rate rose to 5.5% versus 5.1% from the first quarter. In addition, weekly unemployment claims surged at the end of June. As for housing, it remains in a highly depressed state with no indication of a bottom in 2008. Manufacturing was mostly challenged with regional data from the New York, Chicago and Philly Fed showing weakness throughout the quarter. On the inflation front, both the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index rose during the quarter. The core measures of these indices were slightly more controlled but the energy component stoked inflationary fears. The first quarter Gross Domestic Product was revised up to 1.0% from 0.9% and the second quarter appeared to be tracking between 0.5% and 1.2% at the close of the period.

Currencies: The US dollar remained under pressure during much of June but towards the close of the quarter the dollar displayed some modest strength as both the Treasury and the Fed aggressively nudged a strong dollar policy. There were hints of intervention but none has been forthcoming. Overall for the quarter the euro was still up, closing the quarter over $1.58. The British pound rose to $1.99 as both the euro and pound appear to have put in tops. The Bank of Japan seems to be in a steady holding pattern. The People’s Bank of China extended its long running tight monetary policy and the dollar saw further gains to the yuan in June, extending its streak to twelve consecutive quarters of gains to the yuan. The Canadian dollar rose slightly in the second quarter while the Australian dollar was near a twenty-five year high. Meanwhile, the New Zealand dollar was down for the quarter, taking it to a slight year to date loss.

Energies: It was yet another record quarter for the energy sector. Front month crude hit a record high trading level on June 30 over $143 pb and ended the quarter up over 37%. The de-leveraging pressure noted in the first quarter was noticeably absent in the second quarter, while geopolitical concerns surrounding Nigeria, Israel/Iran and Venezuela persisted. However, supply/demand fundamentals held strong and Congress has not yet engaged in any meaningful legislation to curb speculation. China lifted some subsidies on petroleum in an effort to curb consumption. Reformulated gasoline rose despite clear evidence of at least modest demand destruction in the US. Gasoline futures have risen over 30% for the year to date within the Dow Jones AIG Index. Heating oil advanced to end the period and has surged over 50% year to date. Refining margins remain lean, lessening incentive to produce. The price of domestic natural gas surged from the first quarter and has rallied over 70% for the year. The Department of Energy’s natural gas supplies are down from last year and are below the five year average.

Agriculturals: Through the April and May planting period, the corn market traded within a modest range. Excessive precipitation across the central corn and bean belt resulted in planting delays, which in turn allowed prices to rally to a new, all time record high. For the entire second quarter, soybean prices moved higher in opposition to the Chicago Board of Trade Open Interest report. Prices closed the quarter approximately 50% higher while open interest fell. Global soybean demand remains practically insatiable, especially from the Peoples Republic of China. Wheat prices continued to return rocketing gains, a result of rampant corn prices and questionable crop prospects. In addition, the break in the record-setting Australian drought is as responsible as any single event in easing the global concerns of a feed grain shortage. Cotton prices gyrated wildly throughout the second quarter, while moving in a generally lower direction.

Indices: It was a difficult quarter for equities across the globe and the US was certainly no exception as it extended first quarter losses. Many of the same factors that weighed on sentiment in the first quarter were operative again in the second quarter. Financials were particularly weak as credit/liquidity concerns pervaded the atmosphere. Surging petroleum prices were an almost daily drag. The technology sector outperformed most other sectors and airlines and other energy sensitive area were challenged. This resulted in a second quarter loss of over 7% for the Dow Jones Industrial Index, taking the losses to over 14% year to date. The S&P 500 fell approximately 3% during the quarter as is down over 13% for the year. The NASDAQ fell just under 1% during the three months.

European equities had their worst quarterly performance in six years during the first quarter and the second quarter was another debacle. A hawkish European Central Bank (“ECB”) and mostly lackluster economic data from Germany, France, Italy and the UK kept prices on the defensive. In addition, the credit crunch and liquidity concerns were even more apparent during the second quarter with little sign of improvement. The German DAX lost over 2% to end the quarter following a 19% slide from the first quarter. The French CAC fell more than 6% after losing nearly 16% in the first quarter. London’s FTSE continued to struggle in the second quarter and posted an approximate 2% loss following the over 11% loss from the first quarter. Weakness in financials was particularly negative for the UK market. The Bank of England was not nearly as hawkish as the ECB and many market participants are looking for a rate cut later in the year.

Volatility continued to dominate the Asian equity markets during the period. Lackluster economic data within Japan and Asia in general weighed on sentiment and the weakness in US markets also served as a drag. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index fell over 3% and in South Korea the Kospi Index slumped over 6%, with particular weakness in the end of the quarter. The New Zealand All Ordinaries Index experienced losses of almost 12% for quarter.

Metals: Geopolitical factors, concerns surrounding the global financial system, inflation fears and plunging global equities enticed demand for gold and metals in general. Gold saw a mixed picture during April and May but rebounded to gain approximately 4% in June, resulting in a slight overall gain for the quarter. As usual, silver followed suit on its parasitic role and ended the quarter with overall positive performance. Platinum prices increased as well and closed the quarter with a year-to-date gain above 35%.

With growing evidence of global economic malaise, base metals turned in mixed performance for the quarter. Global exchange warehouse inventories remain low for copper but the metal ended with positive quarterly performance. Aluminum finished June with strong performance for the quarter; however, zinc, nickel, lead and tin had overall negative performance for the period.

Softs and Livestock: Sugar advanced during the quarter with better than a 16% overall gain in June. Soaring input costs and years of low prices have led to lower production and some analysts are forecasting even lower production in 2009. The weak dollar was supportive of sugar, as well as other softs, throughout most of the quarter. Cocoa prices roared, closing up over 35%. Poor quality crops in much of West Africa, including the Ivory Coast, have helped support the rally. In addition, political tensions growing once again in the Ivory Coast, which produces about 40% of the world’s cocoa, are threatening to thwart production. Coffee posted solid gains during the quarter as well.

After lagging badly in the first quarter, live cattle prices joined the commodity train with an approximate 15% surge in the second quarter. Improved demand, shrinking supplies and high corn prices, which curbed herd size, were all attributable to the overall positive performance. Live hog prices capped the quarter with improved prices but are still down over 16% year to date within the Dow Jones AIG Index.

increase of 16.98% from the December 31, 2007 Net Asset Value per Interest of $178.44 and an increase of 5.85% from the March 28, 2008 Net Asset Value per Interest of $197.20. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Registrant’s trading gains (losses) before commissions and related fees during Second Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were approximately $(1,004,000) and $(1,798,000), respectively. Registrant’s trading gains before commissions and related fees during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $1,535,000 and $3,826,000, respectively.

Registrant’s average net asset level decreased during Second Quarter 2009 in comparison to the Second Quarter 2008 primarily due to the effect of redemptions and negative trading performance. Registrant’s average net asset level was relatively flat during the Year-To-Date 2009 in comparison to Year-To-Date 2008 primarily due to significant positive trading performance during Fourth Quarter 2008 leading into 2009 which substantially offset the effect of redemptions. Registrant’s average net asset level decreased during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 in comparison to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007 primarily due to the effect of redemptions, offset by net income.

Interest income is earned on the average daily equity maintained with the clearing broker and bank at competitive interest rates and, therefore, varies monthly according to interest rates, trading performance and redemptions. Interest income during Second Quarter 2009 was approximately $3,000, a decrease of approximately $59,000 as compared to Second Quarter 2008, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above and declining interest rates. Interest income during Year-To-Date 2009 was approximately $7,000, a decrease of approximately $150,000 as compared to Year-To-Date 2008, primarily due to declining interest rates. Interest income during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 was approximately $62,000 and $157,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $188,000 and $367,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above and declining interest rates.

Through February 27, 2009, administrative services and other transaction fees were calculated on Registrant’s Net Asset Value at the end of each week, and therefore, varied according to weekly trading performance and redemptions. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, administrative services and other transaction fees are calculated on Registrant’s Net Asset Value at the end of each month, and therefore, vary according to monthly trading performance and redemptions. Other transaction fees consist of National Futures Association, exchange and clearing fees as well as floor brokerage costs and give-up charges, which are based on the number of trades the Trading Advisor executes, as well as which exchange, clearing firm or bank on, or through, which the contract is traded. Administrative services and other transaction fees during Second Quarter 2009 were approximately $303,000, a decrease of approximately $30,000, as compared to Second Quarter 2008, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above. Administrative services and other transaction fees during Year-To-Date 2009 were approximately $644,000, a decrease of approximately $10,000, as compared to Year-To-Date 2008 due to relatively flat average net asset levels discussed above and the effect and timing of redemptions during 2009. Administrative services and other transaction fees during the Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $333,000 and $654,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $58,000 and $99,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above.

Through February 27, 2009, management fees were calculated on Registrant’s Net Asset Value at the end of each week, and therefore, was affected by weekly trading performance and redemptions. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, management fees are calculated on Registrant’s Net Asset Value at the end of each month, and therefore, are affected by monthly trading performance and redemptions. Management fees during Second Quarter 2009 were approximately $85,000, a decrease of approximately $14,000, as compared to Second Quarter 2008, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above. Management fees during Year-To-Date 2009 were approximately $185,000, a decrease of approximately $7,000 as compared to Year-To-Date 2008, due to relatively flat average net asset levels discussed above and the effect and timing of redemptions during 2009. Management fees during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $99,000 and $192,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $8,000 and $23,000, respectively, as compared to Second Quarter 2007 and Year-To-Date 2007, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above.

Through February 27, 2009, incentive fees were based on the “New High Net Trading Profits” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) generated by the Trading Advisor, accrued weekly and were ultimately determined as of the

close of business on the last Friday of each calendar quarter. Subsequent to February 27, 2009, incentive fees are based on the “New High Net Trading Profits” generated by the Trading Advisor, are accrued monthly and are ultimately determined as of the last business day of each calendar quarter. No incentive fees were earned during Second Quarter 2009, Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008. Incentive fees of $31 were earned during Year-To-Date 2009.

General and administrative expenses during Second Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were approximately $68,000 and $133,000, respectively. General and administrative expenses during Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $55,000 and $115,000, respectively. These expenses include accounting, audit, tax, and legal fees, as well as printing and postage costs related to reports sent to limited owners and are before reimbursement of costs incurred by the Managing Owner on behalf of Registrant. To the extent that general and administrative expenses exceed 1.5% of Registrant’s Average Net Asset Value during the year (with a maximum of 0.5% attributable to other than legal and audit expenses), such amounts are borne by the Managing Owner and its affiliates. General and administrative expenses that exceeded such limitations were approximately $27,000 and $32,000, respectively, during the Second Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009. General and administrative expenses that exceeded such limitations were approximately $13,000 during the Second Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008.

Inflation

Inflation has had no material impact on the operations or on the financial condition of Registrant from inception through June 30, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2009, Registrant had not utilized special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers, such as our accountants, undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of Registrant. While Registrant’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on Registrant’s financial position.

Registrant’s contractual obligations are with the Managing Owner, Trading Advisor and Registrant’s commodity broker. Management fees payable by Registrant to the Trading Advisor and the Managing Owner are calculated as a fixed percentage of Registrant’s Net Asset Value. Incentive fees payable by Registrant to the Trading Advisor are at a fixed rate, calculated as a percentage of Registrant’s “New High Net Trading Profits”. As such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amounts to be paid for future periods as Net Asset Values and “New High Net Trading Profits” are not known until a future date. Commissions payable to Registrant’s commodity broker are based on a cost per executed trade and, as such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount that will be required under the brokerage agreement, as the level of executed trades are not known until a future date. These agreements are effective for one-year terms, renewable automatically for additional one-year terms unless terminated. Additionally, these agreements may be terminated by either party thereto for various reasons. For a further discussion of Registrant’s contractual obligations, see Notes 1 and 3 to Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is not required pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Registrant’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Registrant in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,

summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Registrant’s management, including the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration (who, in these capacities, function as the Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officer, respectively, of Registrant), as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Managing Owner recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can prove absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Registrant have been detected.

The Managing Owner’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of certain officers of the Managing Owner (including the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration), has evaluated the effectiveness of Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration have concluded that, as of the end of such period, Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during Second Quarter 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
